TUBERCULOSIS ERADICATION
Bill Having This Work in View En-
dorsed at Meeting Last Week

Bill Having This work IN view En-
dOrsed at Meeting Last Week
A meeting of the legislative COM
mittee of the Delaware State Farm
Bureau Federation was held in their
offices in Dover on Tuesday, Febru-
ary 3rd, at which all of the members
were present including Thomas n.
Rawlins, of SeafOrd; Frank F. Year
sley of Marshallton; Harry B. Clarke
of Kenton; President John D. Rey-
nolds of Middletown, and Vice Pres
ident w. V. Cosden of Dover.
At this meeting many matters OF
interest to the farmers were discuss
ed. The bill now pending before the
legislature providing for an emerg-
ency appropriation of $12,5OO to con-
tinue the work of eradication of tu-
berculosis among cattle, in the state
until the first of July was unanimous
ly endorsed and the passage of the
same earnestly urged.
Another matter considered was the
Importance of having funds available
for the procurement of free hog chol-
era serum and the committee favOrs
the enactment of law providing for
an emergency approximation that will
make this free serum available during
the spring and early summer and also
an appropriation for a sufficient
amount to meet the needs of the
farmers for the two years following
July 1st next. The committee is very
strongly of the opinion that hog
cholera serum used during the spring
and early summer on the young hogs
will go much further and will elimi-
nate a greater amount of risk than il
will if used during the hot summer
weather when there may have devel
oped some serious outbreak of th'
disease.
The committee is no way acting
for themselves but for the benefit o
: every farmer in Delaware and viii
welcome any suggestion from anyon
interested in any matter now pendm
or that may possibly be brought be
fore the present legislature, and to re
ceive any suggestion that anyon
would like to make.

CALF BRINGS FANCY PRICE

Seven-Weeks-Old Calf, Grown at Mil
ford, Sold or 1896 in Philadelphia
Milo C. Farber, of Milford, real es-
tate agent, on Tuesday shipped calf
to Philadelphia for butchering. The
calf was of the Holstein breed and
was a beauty. On Thursday he re-
ceived returns from his broker in
which it showed that the young ami
NAL had sold for 1896. A check for
$4,000 was enclosed, this being the
molney due him after the carriage and
commission had been deducted. The
calf was two days over seven weeks
of age and was fattened to perfection.
Mr.. Farber is much pleased with the
returns, and is praising the HOlstein
breed of cattle as beef producers.

Organization Pays

n RANK o. LOWDEN, former governor of Illinois,
II hit the nail on the head the other day when he
told the bankers that what the farmers of the
country need is organization.
Organization has done wonders for the manual
workers in other fields.
Organization is the order of the day in banks and
business companies.
And there is reason why the farmers should not
organize. They have organized the Pacific Coast
and that is one reason why they so prosperous.
There two elements in successful farming, as in
everything else.
One is to raise sufficient and proper products, and
the other is to market them.
In the matter of marketing, organization is the
chief factor.
The citrus growers of California have paved the
way in showing how great benefits arising from organ
cation may be had by the original growers of fruit and
not by manipulation.
Successful organization of and by producers does
not necessarily high prices to consumers-often
exactly the contrary.
The United Fruit Company, that organized the
banana and other fruit growers of the West Indies
cheapened the fruit in all United States seaboard cities
and made many millions for itself by doing it.

Money and Humanity

n n ONEY in connection with charity should be a
MI minor consideration. We should think of the
~ Community Chest, not in terms of monev but in
terms of humanity. The amount of contribution is
measure of true charity
One of the greatest contributions reported by solicit
tors during the week closing today donation of SIS
by woman found bending washtub. Her hus-
band $3.50 day, and they have IS children to
support. Another was pledge of SO by Mexican
who supports five children by washing clothes.
There of men and women in San Antonio
who could have given $4,000 more, and not have
given much to charity either of those two gave.
Their donations meant that they denying them
selves small comforts perhaps minor
sites.
One reason why the Community Chest not
filled to overlooking during the first week of the
pagn because the average contributor confuses the
relationship between charity and almsgiving.
The mere giving of $40, 500, $1,000 or 100000
does not satisfy in full obligations to humanity
Almsgiving is not necessarily charity. There is
Biblical authority for that statement.

.Life's Hurdle
By L. E. Bisch

Have you ever anticipated some
thing with great pleasure only TO
find afterwards that the pleasure
was not so great after all?
We plan a trip, let US say. We
think about it, we picture ourselves
in the place TO be visited, we see
ourselves talking to old friends, we
fashion in our minds a thousand
situations.
Later, when it all comes to pass,
we feel disappointed. 1t didn't
turn out in the least like we ex-
pected. .t
Now and again one hears some
one say that they had better time
than they thought they would. That
can happen. of course. But it is
not a frequent occurrence.
Usually our imagination, in pro-
jecting itself into the future, runs
riot.
We do not check up our mental
pictures with facts.
We see in our minds eye what
we want and would like to see.
The result is certain to be most
beautiful, but it does not "gee" with
fact.
There Is no harm In playing with
ones imagination like that.
The imagination should be en-
ployed to yield pleasure.
But we should, IL we do not want
to court continual disappointment,
try to make imagination rational
and possible.
We should endeavor TO make
imagination harmonic as much as
possible with reality.
Even creative artists do not let
their imaginations run away with
them.
II they did their novels and
stories and plays would be SO per-
sonsl and peculiar to their own pc
culiar and individual outlook On life
that no one would appreciate or I'M
derstand them.
Such so-called works Of art do
sometimes find their way into print
and people think they must be works
of genius because they cannot, for
the life Of them, make out what
the author is driving at.
That is not genius, however. The
work Of real genius may be ire
mendous in its scope and concep-
ton. But everybody can grasp its
meaning because really great art
invariably strikes responsive chords
in our own emotional makeup be-
cause it is universal in its APP
peal.

Small Volumes
By "The Spectator

A few years ago movement
was started TO abolish the custom
of standing bareheaded in art gal
leries.
There is something to be said in
favor Of this idea.
The beautiful and the wise should
be loved, not worshiped.
Those countries in which the
Bible was held in awe and super
stitious reverence, but never read,
frustrated the purpose of the book.
The Bible is meant to be read
and understood, not merely to be
spoken Of in a hushed voice.
John Ruskin once said he thought
all books ought to be large and
costly 50 people would have TO suf-
fer some privation in order TO get
them. Then, be thought, they
would appreciate them more and
value knowledge more.
Ruskin had many ideas, some val
liable and some absurd, but few were
more wrong-headed than this.
Literature is not the rich and
the leisure possessing alone. 1t is
for everyone.
Burke declared in his famous
sentence that education is the chief
defense Of nations. But only
small percentage Of the people can
attend institutions of higher learn
ing. The others have TO educate
themselves by reading.
And being too poor to attend
college they are too poor to buy
many costly books.
So smaller volumes that can be
sold at a cheaper price but at the
same time are printed on good pa
per and in good type and are sub
stantially bound, are a great help to
such seekers Of knowledge.
They are easy TO read, comfort.
able 10 hold and handy 10 carry.
They encourage the invaluable habit
of sticking a book in your pocket
to read on trains and at odd mo-
ments.
"Tbe reason borrowed books are
so seldom returned to their owners"
says Montague, sis that it is 50
much aesier TO retain the books tina,
what is in them
In the smaller handy volumes it
is easier to master and retain the
contents than in larger volumes.
The smaller page breaks up the
writing and offers more natural
places TO pause and think. 1t is
easier to hold your attention and
concentrate on such page 70 the
end than it is in a book with inter
minable pages and massive para
graphs.

Choosing an Avocation
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

;. Dine on the Riviera,
And smoke a cigar in Seville,
Go out to the theater in Vladi-
g. vostok,
And retire In New York at II
o'clock"
One Of the problems of prosperous
America is what people should do
with their leisure, and a hobby of
some kind is the solution of every
mans leisure.
The authors of the book in ques-
ton call attention to the American
business man who thinks of his
business when he is at home as
we'll as at the office, and the Eng
lish who have many hobbies, some
Of them important, but all of them
absorbing, interests other than their
means Of Livelihood.
A man with a hobby has a con-
tinual avocation during his ordinary
life. 1t is a rest, because it is a
change of occupation, and he will
come from it refreshed and better
prepared for the business he has in
hand.
Ones avocation should be chosen
with as much care as his vocation.
Many books have been written
upon the subject of various hobbies,
but this is the first one that comes
to our attention that treats the sub
ject collectively.
1t is not necessary for a man not
only to have rest enough in his life
at set intervals, but also to have
ecreation-somethin that calls
him away from the ordinary cares
of business.
Whether your hobby be chess or
golf or what not, its successful
pursuit, unless it interferes with
your creative business, it to be COM
mended.

In the chest are located the lungs
and heart. The lungs are protected
by a covering of tissue which gives
form and security to this delicate
organ.
The heart is suspended in fluid
filled sac, known as the pericard-
ium. Just as all other parts of
the body are liable to become con-
gested and inflamcd, so may the
pericardium. When that happens
the condition is called pericarditis.
Primary pericarditis is rare.
What l mean is that it is unusual
to have an inflammation here with
out previous trouble of some sort
somewhere else in the body. Al
most every time pericarditis follows
some other disease. The most COM
mon ailment TO produce it is rheu-
matte fever.
Tonsilitis, tuberculosis, scarlet
fever, measles, pneumonia, diph-
iberia and typhoid may be follow
cd by this heart disturbance. But,
as / have said, the worst enemy
Of the pericardium is rheumatic
fever. That disease has the bad
habit of striking at the heart.
Just what the symptoms will be
depends on the form the pericarditis
takes. If it produces an effusion-
that is. IL a lot Of fluid is thrown
out so that the heart is crowded
then it becomes difficult to breathe.
There is a sense Of pressure and
suffocation.
The degree OF pain varies. IT may
not be pronounced, but sometimes
it is rtabbing and severe.

A mans avocation is as important
as his vocation.
There has recently come to our
desk, a book on hobbies by Messrs.
Tsussig and Meyer.
After we have satisfied our ma
terial wants by working at our
chosen vocation, il we have time to
spare it is interesting to spend our
surplus energy in some hobby or
another.
This book is devoted to the gen.
eral field of hobbies and it in
cludes chapters on collecting prints,
radio, collecting stamps, angling,
book collecting, and so forth.
A hobby is a good thing for every
man to have, for as Chauncey De-
pew says, IF a man divides his
time properly between his work and
his hobby, don't see why he should
not live to be a hundred"
A mans work is something he
has to do to make living. A mans
hobby is something he wants to do.
We usually do not take up a hob
by unless we have leaning towards
it.
1 know one man who collected
stamps. He was a man Of ordinary
means, but had formed quite a col
lection. This he kept locked up in
a safe and bequeathed to his son.
1t was one Of considerable value.
Another man Of my acquaintance
made a hobby Of collecting prints
and seemed to get a good deal of
pleasure from it.
The radio is the new hobby for
the busy man. AS Guy Wetmore
Caryll has written, he can
wake up at eight in SIAM,
Take his tub. il he wants, in Guam.
Eat his breakfast in Kansas,
And lunch in Matanzas,
Go out for a walk in Brazil,
Take tea in Madeira,

REST AIDS PERICARDITIS
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. d.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City.

There may be considerable fever.
Cough, restlessness. rapid pulse and
sometimes delirium, are other symp-
toms.
Fortunately, pericarditis Is rarely
fatal. The type which follows
rheumatic fever is particularly fav-
orable as to outcome.
1t is unfortunate that this trou-
bic Is frequently overlooked. 1t is
difficult to determine its presence,
especially in the mild form. 1t is
so important TO give the patient
perfect rest that the failure to dis
cover it carly retards recovery.
In the treatment, more important
than all other things combined, is
the absolute quiet which must be
had. The first indication is TO keep
the heart down TO the slowest pos
sible action. To accomplish this,
there must be physical rest and
mental rest. Noises, odors, Earring
everything which can possibly ex-
cite in the heart must be suppress
cd.
Don't permit the patient to feed
himself or make other unnecessary
effort. / cannot say too much about
the necessity Of sparing him every
possible movement.
When a child is the victim, the
pain and distress may be relieved
by applying an ice pack over the
chest. Anything which is helpful
in allaying excitement is beneficial
because it aids in keeping the heart
action down. -|-a.

TO me IL Seehs uhhatura, almost monsrous, as though
woman were of herself denying her very birthright
quite understand that poor people who have diff.
fcuy to clothe and feed their little ones shoah try
not to have too many.
But the rich girl who lives for amusement alone,
is she denying herself of the purest and
natural joys of life? And is it fair when she has one
not to give that brother sister? What in life
can replace the brother the sister?
Besides, sthe man who accumuates wealth wants to
leave it to someone, wants to bring up that
continue his work. his ideals carry his thought.
