WHERE SOME OF THE
MONEY WENT
ate Dept. of Health.

From State Dept. of Health.
If you invested in Christmas
Seals, you will be interested in
knowing that 70To from the sale
goes back into the counties for the
benefit of local tuberculosis activi-
ties, and the remaining 300 to the
Maryland Tuberculosis Association
for the support of the activities
under its direction, including the
Cnildren's Preventorium-the Mir
ace House at Claiborne, and to-
ward the maintenance of the state
wide tuberculosis clinics.
Attendance at the tuberculosis
clinics doubled during 1925, accord
ing to the report of DIR. John M.
Nicklas, Medical Consultant of the
State tuberculosis Association, and
Clinic Aide in tuberculosis OF the
Bureau of Communicable Diseases
of the State Department of Health
Over $500 persons were examined,
and of that number 1912 were
found to be suffering from the
disease. or the 1912 positive cases
discovered, $50 or about one-third of
the total were new cases, paying
their first visit to the clinics. Two
hundred and forty clinics were held
during the year, an average OF 70
each month, reaching nearly every
section of the state. In some coun-
ties they were conducted regularly
at the county seat; in others a diff
ferent place was selected for each
clinic. Altogether, rs places were
visited. Patients were drawn from
597 different communities. :
Over $50 of the patients were
referred to the clinics by their
family physicians, the rest were
without medical attendance, or were
directed to the clinics by friends.
All were either tuberculosis sus
poets or contacts, that is, they had
either shown some sign of the
disease, or had been in contact with
it. OF the contacts many were
children under 13. The number of
phyicians who referred patients to
the clinics, was 662.
OF the total number of positive
cases disclosed by the examinations
500 were among white persons, and
2O3 colored 535 were in the early
stages, and therefore gave possible
ties of a favorable outcome; 449
were moderately advanced, and the
rest were far advanced. In connec-
ton with the examinations 1874, or
approximately one out of every three
of the total number examined, show
ed marked signs of undernourlsh
ment: and 1874, or about one out of
every 13 revealed some unexpect-
ed heart complication. Estimates
based upon the number of cases now
ander treatment in the state, and
upon the new cases discovered, in
dictate, DR.. Nicklas said, that there.
are about 5000 persons ill with
tuberculosis in the counties of
Maryland. The great advantages of
the clinics is in the opportunity they
give for the detection of the disease
in its early stages, when there if
every opportunity of arresting the
disease, of restoring the. invalid to
normal activities, and of preventing
the spread OF the disease to others.

But Dunning didn't. He hired out

Real Romance in
Canadians Rise.

Ottawa is the first important step
promising an early break in present
deadlock conditions that has been tax
en- since the elections last October.
His Life Is Romance.
Cummings private career is ro-
nance. When he homesteaded in 1907
his first crop was trivial. On the long
trail to market with his first load of
wheat he met neighbor returning
The trail was narrow and Cummings
load was overturned. While they were
trying to recover it Dunning learned
that the elevators were paying only 81
cents for wheat. He left his wheat In
the ditch and turned his oxen home
ward.
The incident marked the beginning
in Cummings mind of an agitation
which has revolutionized marketing
and perhaps political conditions in
western Canada.
Seven years later the grain grow
ers' movement was under way. A con-
vention was called. Dunning was Sc
lected as delegate from Beaverdale, on,
condition that he could keep his ex-I
penses down to $3.50 He got hotel
saccommodation-the janitor's bunk in
the basement-by helping to stoke the
furnace and thus saved part of his
$3.50.
At the convention he made speech.
He was elected director of the Sas-
katchewan Grain Growers association.
Next year he was made first secre
tary of the Saskatchewan Co-opera-
tive Elevator company and by 1913 he
was general manager of the provinces
cooperative marketing organization.
The government sent him to Europe to
investigate credits and rural cOndi-
tons generally. Thereafter he was
recognized as one of Canada'S fore
most authorities on grain growing and
marketing. During the war he was
made director of food production I'm

Elected to Legislature.
In the midst of his activities in the
grain growing organizations Dunning
WAS eloCI6u lO Tic leSISldluIc anu was
made member of the provincial gov
eminent, holding in succession several
portfolios. When Premier Martin went
to the bench four years ago Dunning.
only thirty-seven years old, became
premier of Saskatchewan.
At Ottawa Dunning is to be minis
ter of railways. In a sense he will be
Sir Henry Thornton's boss. And he
will be responsible to the public for
Canada's national railway system.
A feature of Cummings career is
that, although he was in the forefront
of the farmers movement on the CO.
operative side, he would never have
anything to do with the farmers po-
litical movement. He always re-
manned liberal. Thus, while old con-
sentative provinces like Ontario in a
stampede elected a farmer govern
ment, Saskatchewan never had any
thing but liberal government.

Salmon, Sardines and Butter
Improved, Shows Agri-
cultural Department.

Washington. = Among the various
food industries in which the enforce
ment of the Food and Drugs act has
brought about noticeably improved
conditions during the past year, DR.. G.
A. Browne, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, United States Department
OF Agriculture, cites the salmon can
ming industry, the butter industry and
the sardine packing industry.
The bad situation which formerly
existed in the salmon canning indus
try as the result of few Gamers
persistently putting up decomposed
fish has been cleared up to a con-
siderable extent this past year. Ac-
cording to Doctor Browne, this prog
ress was made easier by the fact that
nearly all of the cases against vio-
lators ultimately resulted in verdicts
for the government
This has demonstrated to those
packers who are not disposed through
sense of decency to put up sound
and wholesome pack that it is neces-
sary for them to do so in order to
comply with the law In it's campaign
the bureau has had the whole-hearted
support of the better element of the
industry, which through pressure on
offending members has assisted in the
process of reform.
Better Butter.
Sampling and examination of ship
mentS of butter undertaken during the
months of maximum production and
greatest traffic resulted in the seizure
by orders of the courts of 1873 ship
ments which were not in compliance
with the legal standard for butter or
were short in weight. In addition
IS cases were developed for prosecu-
ton in the courts. This increase in
the number of seizures effected over
those reported for 1924 does not indi-
cate necessarily that there was pro-
portionately larger output of lOw-fat
butter, but is thought to be due to
perfected control measures and to the
fact that the output of many cream
cries which had not been subjected to
surveillance during former years was
inspected
Another industry which, according
to Doctor Browne, has shown a very
material improvement is the sardine
packing industry of Maine. 1t has
been the practice over period of
years to can sardines which have un-
dergone a species of decomposition re-
sulting in Y, hat is known as belly
blown" condition. Canned fish of this
type are classed as adulterated under
the Food and Drugs act.
SO AS a combined result of seizures Of
decomposed sardines and of extensive
educational work among the packers
over a number of years the pack this
season is more nearly free from this
and other types of Objectionable fish
than in any past season during which
supervision has been maintained.
Action was taken by the food Of
ficials to prevent the shipment into
interstate commerce of California
oranges rendered unfit for food by u
DISASTROUS freeze.
Improvement was brought about in
the canning of blueberries in Maine
through the use of an apparatus de-
vised by the food officials for remov-
ing unsound berries.

Rattlesnake Oil Is Now
Worth 500 Per Gallon

Cisco, Observation-Disclosures oil at
500 gallon has brought a new in
dustry to this section of Texas. Cisco
long has been known as an oil center,
but this is an entirely new phase of
the business. The oil is used in medi-
cine.
This is the time for harvesting the
rattlesnake crop, because the rattlers
are dormant. A keen eye and guam
tity of dynamite are required. Search
is made among the hills for a den of
rattlers. The den is dynamited and
the snakes are brought out. They are
then rendered into oil.
One snake produces only a small
quantity, but sometimes several hun
dred snakes are found in one den.
