WARNS AGAINST TYPHOID
INFECTION.
A warning against the dangers
of typhoid infection has been is-
sued to summer
vacationists bv
the State Board of Health.
It is
said that there is greater danger
from typhoid in the country dis-
tricts and summer resorts than
elsewhere, due to polluted wat :
supplies, impure milk, and the
presence of the typhoid-bearing
Ay.
“The tendency to have confi-
dence in the purity of a water
supply is too often a misplaced
confidence," said Dr. M. M. Car-
rick. State Health Officer. "Two
simple methods by which water
may be made safe for drinking
purposes are by boiling and by
hypochlorite treatment. The last
named method is simple, inex-
pensive, and highly efficient. Get
a few ounces of the best quality
of chloride of lime and prepare
a stock solution of one teaspoon-
ful to one quart of water. Keep
in a tightly stoppered bottle, and
add one teaspoonful to two gal-
tons of the water to be drunk.
Allow to stand uncovered for 20
minutes before using, then bottle
and keep on ice.”
The State Health Officer, in
speaking of the oftentimes dan-
gerous milk supply of summer re-
sorts, gave directions for pas-
teurizing. "Take a pail a little
shorter than a milk bottle, place
a saucer in it and stand the bottle
of milk (cap on the bottle) on the
saucer. Pour water into the pail
until one-half of the. bottle is
submerged. Then place the pail
and contents on the stove and
bring to the boiling point. When
the water begins to boil, remove
bottle of milk from pail imme-
diately, and cool as rapidly as
possible.
“Flies are known carriers of
disease,” said Dr. Carrick, and
they thrive in summer resorts
because of the frequently im-
perfect system of garbage and
waste disposal. Swat the breed-
ing places by sprinkling kerosene
daily over the garbage, using
chloride of lime in the privy
vaults, and by pouring kerosene
down the drains occasionally.
Screen doors and windows, and
use fly traps such as a poison
made of one teaspoon of milk, one
teacupful of water, one table-
spoon of formaldehyde, and five
drops of ordinary bluing. Four
some of this solution in a sau-
cer in which a one-inch cube of
bread has been placed, always
keeping a surplus of liquid in the
saucer.
The most efficient guard
against typhoid infection, ac-
cording to Dr. Carrick, is the an-
ti-typhoid vaccination, and every
vacationist should start this
treatment three weeks before
COST OF GROWING TIM-
BER.
Foresters have a different tale
to tell. The cost of the land, se-
curing young growth, and care,
together with interest rates ahd
fire protection, are the determin-
ing factors.
The State Forester of Louisi-
ana recently estimated that the
cost of growing loblolly pine on
medium quality soil is $3.84 per
thousand board feet, while on
poor soil the cost is $7.97, as-
suming 6% interest.
With 4% interest and natural
reseeding on $5.00 land longleaf
will produce lumber in 70 years
at a cost of $6.55 per thousand—
if planted the cost is $12.20.
Stumpage prices run from $6.00
to $7.00 per thousand already and
leaving home, three inocculations
—seven to ten days apart—being
necessary for immunity. He al-!
so warned against the malaria-!
spreading mosquito, and urged
that kerosene be put on the sur-
face of swamps, pools, cisterns,
rain barrels or other quiet wa-
ters where “wigglers” are found.
A state survey of the Colorado
valley in Texas is to be made if
the plans of an investigating par-
ty is carried out. It is proposed
to erect a dam across the Colo-
rado river 2,000 feet in length
and eighty five feet high. It is
estimated such a project will
place 2,000 acres of fertile lands
under irrigation. Some day the
Alpine valley will also be under
irrigation and will then 'surprise
the
ty.
world with it's productivi-

they will continue to raise as
timber becomes scarcer.
First hand investigations made
by our Department of Forestry
indicate that in Texas at 40 years
and 5% interest, loblolly costs
$5.45 per thousand. Longleaf cut
at 60 years with 4% interest
costs $10.65 and with 3% interest
$6.70 per thousand. Thus loblol-
ly pine on medium or poor soil
will net 5% - 6% interest on cap-
ital invested, while longleaf with
slower growth will bring 3%-4%
if the cost of land and stocking
does not exceed $5.00 per acre.
The Great Southern Lumber
Company of Louisiana is seeding
5000 acres this year. Only the
long period which must elapse
before returns can be realized
makes forestry appear unattract-
live to private citizens. This is
not a serious objection to State
undertaking and one measure in
the proposed forestry code which
the Governor will be asked to
submit to the special session of
the Legislature provides for the
acquiring of State Forest land
for the demonstration and prac-
tice of forestry. Money spent
for this purpose would be safely
invested to yield 4% to6% in-
terest, These figures are based
on present stumpage values.
With decreasing timber supplies
stumpage is bound to raise in
value materially within the next
two decades, thus getting larger
returns than indicated above.

Mexico seems to cultivate the
good grace of people on this side
of the Rio Grande. The Obregon
government has promulgated an
order that hereafter American
cattle raisers may take their
herds into Mexico without pay-
ment of fees or duty and may al-
so return them to the American
side duty free, The American
consul at Jaurez gave out this in-
formation last week. Hereto-
fore a duty has been exacted on
cattle taken into the United
States. Mexican grazing lands
are said to be in excellent condi-
tion and the new order will prob-
ably be taken advantage of by
many western cattle raisers this
spring

Greenville, Tennessee has a
main street two miles long. At
one end over a little one story
frame house is a sign reading:
"A. Johnson, Tailor.” At the
other end of the street is a mar-
ble monument bearing the in-
scription, “A. Johnson, Presi-
dent.” A. Johnson was the man
who became president of the
United States. Although chance
may play a big part in our lives,
an humble beginning is no bar to
success in this land of opportuni-
ty.
Surely these are trying times
for labor leaders. An Illinois la-
bor leader was sent to jail for
refusing to act as a sheriff’s strike
deputy. The sheriff ordered him
to boss the prisoners on a job of
painting the interior of the jail.
And now the Painters Union
hearing of it, has just fined him
$100 for bossing a non-union job.
This looks very much like
the irony of fate.
The bureau of vital statistics
of Texas in a report recently is-
sued says that forty-four sets of
twins were born in the state dur-
ing last February. But one set
of triplets were born and these
were Negroes, one boy and two
girls. There were 3,104 deaths
reported, and of these 549 babies
died. Three Negro women died
at the ages of 99, JOO and 115.
Tuberculosis caused 331 deaths
and pneumonia 276.
The School of Mines and
Metallurgy of the University of
Texas has embarked on a pro-
gram of assisting the prospectors
in the fields of. the state, es-
pecially in the way of testing and
assay of ores. The institution
plans to keep up this department
during the entire year, and can-
not but be a great help in deter-
mining the value of the many
hidden resources of the state.
The school will find that Brewster
county will furnish it’s quota of
business for the assay office.

Many persons, otherwise a

bothered occasionally with 1
indigestion. The effects of a •

prompt treatment of indiges- U

medicine I have needed has
been something to aid diges- “
tion and clean the liver,”
writes Mr. Fred Ashby, a •

“My medicine is

results. Black-Draught liver

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure eatarral deafness
and that is by a constitutional remedy
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous lining ol
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube it
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im-
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases ol
deafness are paused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces. Hall’s Catarrh. Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All Druggists. 75c.
