CHEST CLINIC

DR.. Markey Says Method
of Prevention is of
Value to People i

DIR. j. j. Markey, diagnostician
OF the Washington tuberculosis
association examined ten persons
at the chest clinic conducted We'd.
nesday at the high school, under
the auspices of the local anti
tuberculosis league. =
In commenting upon health con-
dltlons over the state as well as
In this community, DR.. Markey de-
clared that tuberculosis remained
high among. the causes of death
and disability. "The periodical
health inquiries which we hold in
town here, have proven their val
ue in fighting this scourge,' he
asserted. owe have found over a
course of years that tuberculosis,
as well as other diseases, is easier
of prevention than cure. In our
clinics we attempt to gain contact,
not with the actual case of tuber-
culosis, but with the case who is
on the road to this disease. r
"This type of case; usually un-
derweight, pale, fatigued and sub
ject to frequent colds, can by ad-
vice and literature be guided back
to health in a short time. Early
causes of consumption are recog-
nized and counselled as to a pro-
per mode of life. Many are. thus
salvaged who would inevitably pro-
gress to hopeless stages of the
disease" " 81
The county nurses office has
recently received a large supply
of articles and booklets written by
DIR. Markey on all phases of the
tuberculosis problem. These may
be had free upon request by any
one interested in or suffering from
the disease.
These services of the association
are made available to the county
from funds received each year by
the sale of Christmas seals.

dence. In the end, he expressed
concurrence in the final vote and
signed the Declaration.
Richard Stockton's library, one of
the best in the country, was burned
by the British when they occupied
Princeton at the close of 1916, and
his estate, called " Morven," in the
suburbs of Princeton, was de-
vastated. The portraits of the
signer and his wife were pierced
with bayonets. BY these strokes of
i'll luck, and by the depreciation of
Colonial currency, his fortunes were
greatly diminished and he was
forced to obtain help from friends.
AS an eminent lawyer who became
Judge of the Supreme Court of New
Jersey, Richard Stockton became a
valuable member of the Continental
Congress to which he was elected in
1875. He signed the Declaration OF
Independence along with his distin-
guished son-in-law, Benjamin Rush,
of Philadelphia, who had married his
daughter Julia.

At the direction of Congress,

The New Jersey signer was born
near Princeton in 1880. He was
graduated from Princeton College,
after which he studied law. When
he visited Great Britain few years

to remove the prevailing ignorance
regarding the American colonies.

FARMING AS A BUSINESS

Legislation can help agriculture
help ITSELF" Governor McMullen de
clared in an address before delegates
attending the convention of the
Federation of Nebraska Retailers at
Grand Island, Nebraska.
The governor declared that the
farmer does not ask the government
to step in >and manage his affairs
but does ask that ne be aided in
working out his own problems. He
urged less talk, less thoughtless OPP
pisition, and above all, something
tried. -
Agriculture is not local in
dustry in which only the people OF
the farming communities are di-
rectly interested" Governor Nc
Mullen said "It is national in its
scope.
1T represents an investment OF
over $4,000, 100000. In economic
matters agriculture must be taken
for what it is, namely, our basic in,
dustry, and our largest industry
If it can be helped through legislation
as other industries are helped then
the help should be forthcoming.
''If the tariff system benefits in
dustry, as It'll most certainly does
then 1t should benefit agriculture
But agriculture must first put itself
in position to receive such benefit
AS it is now, it is helped by the
tariff only in form instead OF in fact
It's protection through the tariff is
on paper instead of on the farm
But that is not the fault of the tariff
1t is the fault OF agriculture itself
One obstacle in the way of hell

any crops, the surplus must be sole

FACTS TO ELIMINATE INTER
NATIONAL MYSTERIES

This world in which we live has
changed so materially in the last few
years that many of our viewpoints
and judgments have had to be re
vised. The rapid strides OF trans
portation and communication have
given us new neighbors.
No matter what anyone may say
science is so COMPRISING the world
that we as nation, cannot isolate
ouselves. 1t is too small for us
to be isolated from each other, and
avoid irritation through want .oi
contact. Why, talk OF isolation
when the people OF Berlin, Chicago
New York, London and Paris danced
to the music of the same orchestra
on New Years night ?
We have got to learn whether we
wan to or not, how to live together
under these changed conditions
New problems must be solved.
One of the first steps, and it does
seem the most logical one, is to pro-
vide the machinery to get the facts
on these problems and situations
Just such an agency is the Walter
Hines Page School OF Internationa'
Relations. When this organization
is started next Fall at Johns Hop
kins University it will probe world
affairs with the object of ascertain
ing the facts. 1t will do in its Held
what graduate schools have already
done for medicine and law.-proyide
more systematic method for the
study of international relations anC
better trained men to deal with in

"Cow CAPACITY" KEY TO, BIG
MILK PRODUCTION

Cow Capacity is what causes
COW getting ten pounds of grair
day to produce 35 pounds OF milk
and another COW, under the same
conditions and on exactly the same
kind and amount of feed, to give
only 20 pounds of milk, says
the Larrowe Institute of Anima
Economics.
producing milk is not much
different than producing shoes OF
any other commodity, except that we
here have to deal with living
animal with producing ability
that is more or less inheritedP &C.
cording to the Institute. Zone shoe
maker can turn out pair of shoes
to sell at five dollars while another
cannot afford to sell them for less
than seven dollars. There is a big
difference in the production costs
Similar differences hold true ir
dairying. The breed of the animals
their feed, the quality of the
animals, and their management, al
have their effect on the Cost OF their
milk production. A good dairymar
may be able to produce milk at {
price that would financially cripple
another dairyman.
Feed is the largest single item
in milk production. 1t takes about
the same amount of feed to keep {
high producing dairy COW alive as i
does to maintain cow of limited
production A COW cannot turn out
nutrients in the form of milk which
she does not receive in her feed, anC
the big difference in the production
of milk from individual cows lies IL
the kind Of feed they are fed and thu
amount they are able to consume
and convert into milk. heavy
producing COW can utilize large
amount of feed, while the small pro
Queer wastes it. 1t is this COW
capacity that makes the large pro
Queer a more economical producer
than the low producer.
MANY dairymen are misled by {
false economy into buying cheap
feed for their herds" according tf
the Institute. I'm most instance
the cheap feed is not really WORTH
as much at it's price as another feec
at higher price. A group OF COWS
on feed selling at $54 a ton
averaged 81 cents worth of grair
for every 100 pounds of milk pro
duced. A similar herd on $50 feee
averaged 81 cents of feed for eacf
hundred pounds of milk. This
means that on the basis OF milk
produced on the higher priced feed
the $50 feed was really worth onl!
s4S.4O a ton, or $3.50 less than ths
price asked for it.
