 Ragaedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Berty Bear did not

EXPERTS HAVE
TENTATIVE PLAN
SEEK TO SECURE WORLD ExTEN-
SION OF PRINCIPLES OF
WASHINGTON SQUARE
Ne,1 Treaty Applies to Nations THAI
Did Not Sign Former Ac-
cord; Action Expected
Soon

Geneva. THE naval subcommittee of
the league OF nations, in connection
with two proposed conferences to Sc
cure world, wide extension of the
treaty, has framed a tentative con-
vention laying down the capital ship
limitations for the principal powers
that did not sign the Washington ac
cord This draft, which is in the
hands Of the interested governments,
will serve as a basis OF discussion at
the meeting of the naval experts of
the powers. which the league is try
ing to convoke in a manner which
will insure tie presence of Russia.
The experts, in their turn will pass
on the results Of their deliberations to
the second and more general confer
ence which will be summoned subse-
quently. Article Of chapter 1 Of
the tentative convention declares that
the total capital ship replacement
tonnage shall not exceed in standard
displacement the following for the
various countries:
Argentina, 81, 900 tons Brazil, 45.
600; Chile, $4,000; Denmark, 1900;
Greece, $4,000; the Netherlands, 26.-
600; Norway, 10000; Spain, $4,000
Sweden, $4,000.
This article is followed by a note
explaining that article was drafted
in strict accordance with the principle
Of the status quo, and adding:
Nevertheless a majority of the mem
bers of the naval subcommission feel
bound to call the attention of the
council OF the league to the resulting
inequality between the respective ma
val forces of the three South American
states, Argentina, Brazil and Chile. |
whereas from a technical and general |
consideration of the circumstances OF |
these states, they consider they |
should logically have equivalent ma
val forces, the total tonnage in capital

U. S. To Sell Mexico War Material

Washington, - Details Of the con,
templated sale OF surplus army war
materials to the Mexican government
occupied war department officials
Sunday and it was indicated that or
ders to depot commanders from which
the rifles and other equipment are to
be taken will go forward within
day or two. Final decision to grant
the request of the Obregon govern
ment and make the sale direct by the
Washington government was not
reached until Saturday, although the
request is understood to have been
before administration officials prac-
tically all of last week. Although
there has been no indication that the
proposal was the subject Of extended
discussion at the cabinet meeting on
last Tuesday and Friday, it is unI
likely that President Coolidge reach
ed the decision to depart from the
policy of the Harding administration
in relation to the sale of surplus arms
without laying the matter before his
advisers.

are being dismantled this week by big

of movement to end the disfigure-
ment of the countryside by advertise

ing the oil concerns in removing the

Fundamental Principle
of Growing Peach Crop

One might think at first thought that
soil fertility, cultivation, pruning
spraying, ETC., would not have much In
fluence upon winter killing frost, etc
AS a matter Of experience it is known
that these practices do. A tree weak
ened by lack of fertility, poor cultiva-
ton, lack of moisture, insect depreda-
tions, etc. cannot develop strong fruit
buds. The tree cannot mature the leaf
and fruit buds satisfactorily, conse-
quent1y a sudden or violent "cold snap
is apt to kill the fruit buds.
Again, thin soil lacking in humus,
poor cultivation, pruning, ETC., may
cause a large per cent Of the trees to
succumb to a severe drought. At least,
experience has shown that this is like
ly to be the case.
The fundamental principle of peach
growing is good soil. Without 1t there
Is very little hope of being successful
in growing peaches either for home use
or for market.
The land, If In fair condition and
reasonably fertile when the young
trees are set, Will need no manure nor
fertilizer, but as soon as the trees be-
gin TO bear it will be advisable to be-
ging system Of cover crops, especial
ly legumes, and supply the soil with
vegetable matter by turning under
crops. Then, if the soil is not especial
ly rich, 1t will be well to use acid phos-
phate.

Tuberculin Test Should
Be Applied to All Stock

Since tuberculosis continues to be
probably the most important disease
affecting man and the lower animals,
causing in man alone one-tenth of the
deaths from all causes and occasion
ing an economic loss in the United
States of over $200,000000 annually,
few facts relative TO the present status
of this disease may be opportune.
l. The disease is caused by a spe-
clfic germ so small that a magnifica-
tion of nearly 1000 diameters is nee
essary in order to see 1t distinctly.
q 1t is possible to Isolate the germ
from both man and animal tissues af-
fected with tuberculosis and to grow
same on artificial media.
3. The germ of tuberculosis is quite
resistant to many of the natural inhu-
ences that affect bacteria and if en-
bedded in sputum will withstand the
direct rays of the sun for "a hours or
longer. In dark recesses at low tenn
perature, the germs may live for many
months and even 5 per cent strength
of carboIic acid requires "a hours to
4. In addition to man. practically all
mammalians are susceptible.
8. Among the lower animals the dis
ease is most frequently seen in cattle
and hogs. Horses and sheep are rare
ly affected.
6. In man the disease may involve
the lungs, pulmonary tuberculosis;
+In into 20
fined to the lymph glands, or the skin,
or it may be localized in the bones and
joints.
Z. 1t is very common disease Of
chickens, although turkeys and pigeons
also frequently suffer from it. Ducks
and geese do not appear to be suscept-
ible.
s. Fowls apparently do not contract
the disease from diseased cattle, al
though swine may do so.
9. Heredity plays but very minor
part in the transmission or communi-
cation of this disease.
10. tuberculosis may be contracted
by inhaling air contaminated with the
germs, or by the organism gaining en-
trance into the digestive tract with
various articles of food, particularly
milk.
IL. Cattle are frequently affected
with both the intestinal and lung
forms. The udder of cattle is not an
uncommon location for the disease.
II. A large share of the cases in !
obiIdrap chouinO tha Intestinal form
of the disease is due to the tubercle
germ of bovine origin being transmit
ted through milk from diseased ami
mails.
13. Animals may be fairly rotten"
with the disease without any symp- |
toms being manifest.
IA. tuberculosis in cattle, swine and |
fowls can be diagnosed with high |
degree of accuracy by means of the
tuberculin test. The ores showing
positive reaction should be disposed
of at once.
Is. tuberculosis is preventable
disease and will decrease in preva-
lence with the development of SANTA
ton, personal hygiene, supervision of
the production and distribution of
milk by health officers veterinary in
spection of all meat products designed
for food; and the unBersal applica-
ton of the tuberculin test to all cattle,
but particularly those supplying milk
for human consumptioh.-Will H.

FdvOrite Recipes of
Prominent WOmes,
BY EDNA NJ. COLMAN.
IONA GALE.
"A Whole Meal"

One of the most gifted of Wiscon-
sins daughters is Zona Gale. famous
novelist and playwright, who main
tains an active interest in politics
and the civic affairs of her home
town. Her literary achievements are
household history and her political
viewpoint is naturally of especial in
terest to her readers. She believes
that enfranchisement has given to
women a new sense of self respect
and a new influence in the great po-
litical issues.
Miss Gale feels that women did not
enter politics as reformers, but as
workers. and that their influence is
both valuable and desirable and
should never be considered as an
element TO be feared.
Contrary to the popular concep-
tion of the highly successful novelist.
Miss Gale shuns the crowded cities
and finds the inspiration for her
stories in the environment of her ma
tive town:
Simplicity and sincerity are the
strong qualities in the makeup of
this writer and they characterize all
of her activities. Her idea of a per-
feet meal amounts to a creed:
1.-TWO or three kinds of fruit, two
or three vegetables cooked uncovered
and with the stock not drained be-
fore serving. No starch If meat is
served. No protein if starch is served.
Graham or whole wheat bread Honey,
maple sugar or brown sugar for
sweetening the dessert-but never
white sugar. And never any sweet
