marily upon the silicotie content OF
| the dust inhaled. The evidence is also
conclusive that worli,r exposed to
marble or limestone dust suffer de-
cidedly lesser liability to pulmonary
tuberculosis than those exposed to
granite or sandstone dust, with a high

The report deplores the lack of at
tention which the mechanical aspects
of the dust problem have received and
says, "Nor has the subject received
the requisite attention from the medi-
cal point Of view, for there are abund
ant reasons for believing that the dis
ease certified as pulmonary tuberculo-
sis among granite workers is often not
true form Of tuberculosis, but, strict
~ speaking, silicosis of pneumonoco-
niosis, or, in other words, dust phth-
sis of non -tubercular origin, though
possibly in its terminal stages com
plicated by supcrinduced tuberculo
sis"
Under No. the investigator lays
due stress upon the Importance Of
Pathological examination in diagnosis.
If the tuberculosis among granite cut
tiers is not true tuberculosis and,
therefore, not infectious, some evidence
should be forthcoming from the fam

"As matter of fact" he continues,

MEMPHIS, March 12.-within a

Itself. for already plans are being

the carry-over from those preced-

there is absence of anxiety and a

TO prices. There is notable absence
of pressure 10 sell. and buyers are
finding holders very independent.
The labor trouble in New England
has tended to lessen inquiry for the
raw material. but some compensa-
tion for this has been afforded by
the slight improvement from abroad.
Higher exchange rates and evidence
of better conditions across the seas
have helped to induce a little busi-
ness. 1t is not expected that buy

Larger Acreage Possible.

cotton acreage will be larger than
II was last season. Contributing to
this is the fact that cotton at rul-
ing values affords the South better
prospect for remuneration than try
ing to grow other crops. except to
supply home requirements, together
with the fact that in many sec
tons enough surplus grain was pro-
duced last season to last through
the coming year. However. there
is going to be a strong effort made
to have the diversified farming idea
adhered to as far as possible. Linn
itation of credits and the financial
ability to buy the needed fertilizers
will serve to hold acreage down,
and it is probable that in many sec
tions much land will lie idle, BY
small use of fertilizers will be as

of the weevil. but the chances are
vastly against It. especially in those
sections where the lands are low

The plan to he adopted in this
section of the belt is to try and
get as early a start as possible for
the crop. 1t has been shown that
this is the most effective way, for
when the pest gets numerous enough
practically all the fruit is taken.

The issue is not formulated clear

been given up. and most people are
ashamed of the behavior of the

there is still no general conviction
that further reductions in the allies

the pressure of a succession of un-

modification making itself felt.

FORD RUNS 57 MILES ON
 GALLON OF GASOLINE

A new automatic Vaporizer and De- carboniZer, which in actual test has increased the power and mileage of Fords from 25 to 50 per cent and at the same time removed every particle of carbon from the cylinders is the proud achievement of John A. Stran- sky, and South Main Street, Puk- wana, South Dakota. A remarkable feature of this simple and inexpensive device is that its action is governed entirely by the motor. It is slipped between the carburetor and intake manifold and can be installed, by any one in five minutes without drilling or tapping. With it attached, Ford cars have made from 40 to 57 miles on one gallon of gasoline. MT. Stransky wants to place few of these devices on cars in this territory and has a very liberal offer to make to anyone who is able to handle theb usiness which is sure to be created wherever this marvellous little device is demonstrated. If you want to try one entirely at his risk send him your name and address to day.-Adv.
