tin reported, splendid teamwork was displayed with no regard for work ing hours and with great ingenuity to overcome the handicap of loss of power and light. Thousands of emergency bulletins were run of by hand. The departments gasoline generator used at fairs to run the projectorscope was set up at the laboratory in order that the centri- fuge could be used and that the inc cubator could continue to maintain proper temperature for laboratory tests. Dry ice was used to keep the automatic refrigeratorS working and later ice refrigeration was resorted to, so that biologics (including dis- ease sera) could be kept at required temperatures. Special orders for ty- phoid vaccine were rushed from the source of supply in order that all local demands could be met prompt ly. Only through perfect teamwork could all of this have been made possible, the bulletin stated.

Legalized Beer Aids

of public school systems.
 Connecticut disburses its beer revenue to the localities in which it is collected. The revenue from beer in 1885 totaled $1,410, ,736.01.
 All0catiOnS
 Direct allocations for unemploy- ment relief, old age and mothers pensions, etc, made by state gov ernments from their beer revenue during 1895, totaled more than $9,- 100000, or approximately IT per cent of the total beer revenue collected by state governments in 1885. This sum also was greatly augmented by appropriations from general funds in which beer revenue was included.
 Among the states which used all or part of their beer revenue for the maintenance of public schools during 1885 were: Arkansas, $119,- 663.44; Georgia, $237,000; Idaho, $116, ,249.95; Indiana, $406,600.27; Michigan. $700,000, Missouri. $1,613,- 210.89; New Mexico, $266, ,924.96"; Oklahoma, $673,18384; Wisconsin, $l50,000.
 Other states which allocated beer revenue directly to their schools, but for which definite data concerning 1885, is not yet available were: Louisiana, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
 According to U. s. department of interior records also, 35 states made appropriations for school purposes from their general funds, which in- cluded beer revenue, during their last fiscal years. These appropria- tions varied from less than 1 per cent of all state school funds in two states to 100 per cent in others.
 States Listed
 The Florida legislature, which passed that states control law, ef- fective June 25, 1885, also appro- priated one-half million dollars for schools. Commenting on this, George O. Weems, director of the state beverage department, says it is now apparent that the general revenue fund will be able to meet this entire appropriation due main- ly to the fact that the alcoholic beverages tax is being placed in that fund.
 Among the states allocating beer revenue to pensions, unemployment, relief, etc., during 1885, concerning which data is available, are: Arkan- sas, $20,000; Colorado, $273, ,291 .53; Montana, $290,1l4.34; New Mexico, $250,000; South Dakota, $345, 5,396. .o9; Washington, $150,000.

Washington, D. C., April With state governments hard pressed for funds, the return of legalized beer has been a big aid in the mainte- nance of public school systems, un- employment relief, and public well fare work generally, according to re- ports from administrative officers of the various states and statistics compiled by the office of education, U. s. department of the interior.
 In addition to one-quarter billion dollars revenue obtained by the fed eral government in 1895 from the manufacture and sale of beer, the state governments collected ap- proximately $55,000,O0O in excise and special taxes on beer. Approxi- mately $55,000,00O from such taxes also was obtained by local govern ments. About 50 per cent of the revenue from beer collected by state and local governments was used for educa tional, charitable and pub- lie welfare purposes.
 Schools Aided
 Fourteen states, during 1885, were required by laws to allocate beer revenue directly to the support of their schools. This aid for the pub lie schools of those states, derived directly from beer during 1895, to- taled approximately $11,000,000, or about 20 per cent of the total rev. enue derived from beer by all state governments. In thirty other states, where beer revenue went into gen. eral funds, appropriations were made from these general funds for the maintenance and development

The flood disaster furnished 8 striking example of the cooperation existing between state and local health forces and the pooling of all resources outside the striken area to bring relief and to preserve health, which although normally considered more or less of an individual prob lem becomes a community problem in times of disaster, the State De- pertinent of Health declared in its weekly bulletin to-day.
 Throughout the darkest days of the disaster, and this means liter ally midnight as well as daytime hours, local health officers and the personnel of the State Department of Health were in daily and hourly conferences to map and carry out plans for protecting the health of the people, the bulletin said.
 Red Tape Cut
 Red tape was cut by common consent so Nthat funds could be made available at moments mo- tice for necessities. Up to date 15 tons of chloride of lime have been distributed by the department to local health officers to be used in flood areas for cleaning up base ments, homes and furnishings, schools, churches, stores and other public buildings. The supply was sufficient for all demands and was distributed to health officers who sent trucks, or by department sani- tary engineers who have been de- voting all their time in the flooded sectors, checking up on public water supplies and aiding clean-up work.

This reveals utter lack of attention
given streets and traffic. Here and there
is a lonely button, while opposite it is
no marker whatsoever. Motorists cross
ing State from one direction are told to
slow down or stop, while motorists from
the opposite side are permitted to race
across the heavily travelled thorough
fare at will.
Not only is the slipshod arrange
ment disconcerting to drivers, but it is
dangerous. Streets should either be
stop streets or slow. intersections should
be marked clearly and proper habits es-
tablished, or they should be left wide
open. The present arrangement Is a
reflection on the community. 1t indicates
that despite the already important ques-
ton of traffic control, apparently no
local agency is giving the subject atten-
ton.
Not only should buttons be re-
placed and arranged in an orderly Sc
quence. but the letters on them should
be painted so clearly that the words
"stop" or ''slow'' are clearly and easily
legible from distance.

DEAR EDITOR:

The other Gay when down town shopping,
I parked ny motor car while making several
purchases When I returned, the front seat con-
tanned TWO handbills and printed cardboard
was stuck under the windshield wiper in front
Of the drivers seat.
Down the street was young boy going in
and out of ether cars tossing inside more Of
the handbis.
Why won't the firms who use this kind of
trick TO get our attention ever learn that it just
makes US mad? No likes to have others
thrust their presence on US and no one likes
= have some cheap firm force their Httering
messages before our eyes by throwing them into
our cars.
And its just as bad at home as it is on the
streets. The other day looked about my neigh
borhOCd and saw that handbills usually in col
ors. were splattered around and the next morn
ing most Of them We're still lttering up the yards.
Suppose every store took this means CT telling
US of their so-called bargains, what a mess our
lawns would be- As it is, most Of US just pick up
this rubbish in order to keep our yards clean.
! would no more patronize one Of these cheap
advertisers than I would pay good money to
some one to throw dirt my front porch
There ought TO be a law against this sort Of
thing and in writing you this I know am say
ing exactly the same thought that Is in the
mind of most other housewives
