Deaths From Home
Accidents Are Too High
Doctors Urge Care, Common Sense
to Prevent Accidental Fat
alities at Home

st. Paul, Minn.-Death stalking
the war front and the highways Is
more dramatic than deaths from
accidents at home.
The Public Health Education
Committee Of the Minnesota State
Medical Association calls attention
to the terrific toll of deaths from
home accidents this week because
recent figures show that there
were twice as many Of them in the
last Is years than there were from
automobile accidents. ..'
The figure for home accidents
that resulted in death from 1920
to 1884 was 655,0OO. Automobile
deaths for the same period amount
ed to 3Ss,936 and both figures ap-
pear appalling beside the figure for
deaths in battle which was 244,357
for Americans killed in all the
wars of our history.
Better traffic regulations, better
law enforcement, improved safety
devices as we'll as individual eau
ton play parts in the current ma
ton wide campaign to reduce ac-
cident deaths on the highways.
To reduce accident deaths at
home, common sense and ordinary
individual carefulness are the
chief requisites, according to the
physicians.
Good housekeeping and a good
knowledge of first aid both, are
urged as prime safety measures in
the physicians bulletin.
knowledge of first aid to treat
burns, cuts, sprains, broken bones
and accidental poisoning pending
the tarrival of help would have
many lives, also, in the opinion of
physicians. A good manual of first
aid and actual practice under in
struction in (bandagaing and splint-
ing and in artificial respiration
should be part of the training and
equipment of the housekeeper.

STATE SEED LAB. GIVES
FREE TESTING SERVICE

Everyone attending to plant
seeds this spring should begin now
to interest himself in the matter of
termination" says c. p. Bull,
special assistant to the state COM
missioned of agriculture and head
of the State Seed Laboratory, Uni
versity Farm. "How does it sprout
or grow? Better to test now in
the house or laboratory, than to
make a big experimental test in
the field next April and May and
find the seed didn't grow"
Mr.. Bull warns that corn and
wheat are especially low in vitality
this year on account Of poor crop
conditions last harvest and fall.
Other farm seeds are not beyond
suspicion. In fact, at no time or
year should the man who sows the
seed be willing to take it for gran
ted that the seed is 0. K. for ger
mination.
Corn can be tested easily at home
by the rag dolr method, but for
other seeds this method is not so
certain. The State Seed Labora-
tory will test 10 samples of seed
free of charge for any Minnesota
resident. The percentage of weed
and foreign grain seeds in the

shall sell and not sell in time of
war. find that there is much con-
fusion over the subject of neutral
ity. AS I see it, we should either
have mandatory neutrality, which
will treat all belligerents alike, or
we should sell freely to all bellig-
erents, providing they will come
here and get the material they buy
and pay for it in cash. Any other
plan might easily drag us into a

We Must Find Solution
In my letter of two weeks ago I
commented upon the large percen-
tage of crime among those under
Is years of age. A young man from
Stearns County evidently got the
impression from my letter that !
was trying to give the young gen.
Grafton black eye. Nothing was
farther from my thought. What ]
tried to do was to present to my
readers the fact that we must do
something definite and helpful for
the youth of the country, and I am
working on legislation to empower
the President to appoint commits
sion of experts to formulate a pro-
gram that will reopen to the Amer
lean youth the door of opportunity
This problem is too serious to put
aside. Our young men and women
constitute our best asset and Sc
curity for the future.

6RUGGLES SEES THREAT
IN FOREST CATERPILLARS

Serious damage to forests and
the tourist trade of northeastern
Minnesota during 1896 is threaten
ed by the infestation of forest tent
less caterpillars which has been
spreading during the last 2 years,
says A. G. Ruggles, state entomolo-
gist, University Farm, St. Paul.
Locally known as army worms"
these pests have thickly infested
large area of the Superior
National Forest around Ely.
Mr.. Ruggles has appealed to all
Minnesota Representatives in Con-
gress for aid in obtaining a grant
of $4,000 to the Federal Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Quarantine
for controlling these insects, as the
infestation is practically all within
the national forest, where hundreds
of acres of popular and birch were
defoliated last year. Aside from
damage to the trees, the movement
Of these insects from place to
place in great hordes causes much
annoyance to tourists. Indications
are they will be far worse in 1886,
unless controlled.
Spraying or busting with arseni-
Gals by the use of airplanes is about
the only practicable control, Mr..
Ruggles says, and that is the pur-
pose for which he is urging the
congressional appropriation.
Following statewide survey
conducted last fall, Mr.. Ruggles
has announced that only two Min
nesota counties have anything to
fear from chinch bugs in 1886,
these being Goodhue and Wabasha.
Even there, serious damage is not
anticipated unless weather con-
ditions next summer are particu-
larly favorable to the multiplied
ton of these pests. Government
creote is on hand ready for use
and farmers are organized ready
to go into action.
Kittson and st. Louis counties
are the only areas in Minnesota
that appear likely to be disturbed
by grasshoppers this coming year,
says Mr.. Ruggles.

v. F. w. Auxiliary Meeting


The v. F. w. Auxiliary meeting
was held Friday evening, February
7th. Mrs. Agnes Plant and Mrs.
Harriet Benson joined our ranks.
They were duly initiated according
to the bylaws of the v. F. w. Aux
iliary.
The work of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and it's Auxiliary is
a great undertaking. We are al
ways glad to welcome new MEM
bers. Every new member makes
our organization stronger.
Our greatest work is the care of
the orphans and widows of our
deceased comrades. These children
and mothers are cared for at Eat
on Rapids, Michigan. We have
there homes, that are truly homes,
not oyphanages. The Minnesota
Department of the v. F. w. and
Auxiliary are proud of their home,
that has just recently been COM
pleted and dedicated. The v. F. w.
Auxiliary of Minnesota boasts hav-
ing been able to pay over half the
purchase price of this new home.
Most of the furnishings have been
donated by the Auxiliaries.
Now we turn to another task.
We are going to build a place for
these children to play in. A place
to receive Santa Claus, a place to
have entertainments. A place to do
the same things that our own
children are privileged to do. A re-
creation center.
The Ladies Auxiliary of Paul F.
Donart Post 1858, do not wish to
take back seat and are making
every effort to raise their share to-
wards this great project.
The card party given by the Aux
iliary January 28th was a grand
success. We wish to thank all those
who attended. You have helped to
bring little sunshine into the lives
Of those who have been left orph-
ans because their fathers gave their
lives for you.
February 18th was Gold Star Mo.
Tiers Day. Our Auxiliary honored
with the membership Of two Gold
Star Mothers, Mrs. Rose Donart
Bratz, mother of Paul F. Donart
and Mrs. Mile Parks, mother Of
Clayton Parks. Both of these dis
tinguished mothers were sent gifts
In honor Of their great sacrifice.
Four letters Of communication
from National Headquarters were
read at our meeting and two cards
Of appreciation were received from
members, who have been sick and
who have been sorrowfully visited,
thanking the Auxiliary for gifts
and help.

of seeds terminating, and the rela-
tive vigor Of the seed, will be de-
termined in the test. Such samples
should be mailed in at once, how
ever, to avoid the rush and con-
gestion that always occurs in
March and April.
Before sampling, grain and grass
seed should be cleaned to the con-
dition in which it will be used for
seed. Then seed should be taken
from different parts of the bin to
make a lone-pint sample. Cloth

most satisfactory mailing contain
ers. Address samples to State Seed
