Wing in Farm and Fireside has penned the following which yoices the dignity of work well done under the ception: “A Farmer's Faith:" “T believe in farming as a way to live and | make a living I velieve in the dignity of my work, [| want no mants patronage, preaching or pity. “DT believe in my soil It will reward me in proportion to the thought, labor and love I give it “T believe in myself.

L. 1913 which forbids any officer of a city to be direcly or indi rectly interested in any contract work or business | of the city or in the sale of any article the expens: or price of which is paid from the city treasury. The court holds squarely that it is against public policy and in flat violation of Section 3618 for city } officials to particip: directly indirectly in contracts or business with the city. Public opinion and interest usually enforce this act. That it is flagrantiy disobeyed is common 5 knowledge. Occasionally a taxpayer resists the procedure and the practice is stopped for awhile. | Examination of commissioners’ proceedings in cities such as Bismarck show that the practice is quite general both in small ag well as in large items. The law seems more or less of a dead letter. Few citizens resent the practice and it goes mer- rily on. But this manner of conducting the city’s business does not make for economy or efficiency. It now appears that the legislature has removed a check against such law violations on the part of city com- missioners and other city officials by exempting cities from periodic examination by the state exam- iners départment. Under chapter 195 of the 1925 Session Laws, examination of the books of a city auditor or city treasurer is to be made only at the request of the mayor or president of the board of e or j has Baseball, the > | away When be pennant r disce “rhythmic.

For instance, the discovery is an- nounced by Dr. Mueller, in Berlin, lof a method of making metal foils a millionth of a centimeter thin without losing their elasticity. That is obviously thin—but how thin? Measure a centimeter's thickness in an ordinary book printed on thin paper. It will be about 200 pages, lor 100 leaves. That means that it | would take 10,000 of Dr. Mueller's gold leaves, lying one on the other, to be as thick as one thin sheet of |paper. The thousand leaves of that same paper would be about four fect thick. As one thickness of paper is to four feet, so is one of these leaves to one sheet of paper. Yet |they can be made and measured, and, |for certain electrical purposes, used. Just as we have reached the walkless age, we are to learn all about walking. Man has walked for countless centuries, but Yale inves- tigators say he has never known exactly how he did it. So they have set up apparatus to find out. It will be an interesting intellec- tual discovery. But who will make jany use of it? Nobody walks but the postman, and he is beginning to use a side-car mortorcycle. | If it were not for the hereditary persistence of usgless parts, man ‘ould soon be a legless animal. As lit is, how many of us could contem- plate without consternation a twen- ty-mile walk? About as many as can do a double flip-flop, or read Greek.

These germs of tuberculosis are found chiefly in the sputum of per- sons suffering with the disease. Scatters Germs of Tuberculosis The sufferer from tuberculosis leaves these germs on the spoon with which he eats, on the edge of his tea cup or glass and on the mouth- piece of his pipe. If the consumptive coughs with un- covered mouth he sprays forth a large number of very fine droplets which contain a multitude of tubercle bacilli in such a fine susvension of moisture that they may float in the air and be inhaled directly into the lungs of someone near him. FABLES ON HEALTH HOW DISEASE GERMS ARE SCATTERED SATURDAY, AUGUST: 29, 1925 Under the present Wisconsin law, he can, of course, only vote one par- ty, but he chooses that party se- cretly. He is given the tickets of all the partles, but he marks and de- posits only one, returning the others unidentified to be discarded. Even the change proposed by Sen- ator Lenroot would leave the Wis- consin law less conservative than those of many states, including some of the most progressive. In practice, each of us is likely to favor whichever law will tend to accomplish the result which he per- sonally desires. The Wisconsin law, for instance, was devised to assure La Follette Republican nominations by using Democratic and Socialist votes in the Republican primaries. Senator Lenroot now wants to change it, to hinder just that result A primary is a meeting of those who regard themselves as members of a party, to decide who shall be that party's nominees. Obviously, this question does not concern the members of another par- ty. The only difficulty is to deter. mine who ‘are “party members.” Once it meant those who believed in certain principles or policies. Real “test questions” were possible then. Now it means those who are will- ing to act together in a certain group. There is no test of that ex- cept the voter's own declaration. But he should at least make that, and it is little enough if he need make it only at the polls. In fact, it is none too much to require him to make it, as is done in California, beforehand —— ; !

Fair tresses man's ensnare—Pope. imperial race Flies carry the consumptive's sputum on their feet from the gut- ter to the fruit on nearby stands or to. food upon the table. Whether inhaled with dust or swallowed with food, the tubercle bacillus may cause tuberculosis of the lungs. Not all persons who get the germs of tuberculosis into their bodies di velop active symptoms of the dis- ease. It is probable that most of the germs that get into the body are destroyed before they do any harm. On the other hand, the germs that lodge in the body live and to a lim- ited degree mutiply and yet often never give rise to active tubercu- losis. The enlarged glands so often seen in children are more frequently than not due to tuberculosis, yet the child may never develop an active form of the disease. Such persons are said to be infected or to have latent tuberculosis. Disease Is Not Hereditary Tuberculosis is not hereditary. If you have noticed that consumption seems to run in families that is true largely because of the exposure of the young child to the disease. If a baby born of a tuberculous mother is removed from its mother immediately after birth there is lit- tle, if any more danger of that baby’s developing tuberculosis than there is o fa child born of a healthy mother, These latent germs of infection, potential factors of tuberculosis in themselves, probably give a certain degree of immunity against the ef- fects of larger doses which one may unfortunately experience. The in- dividual may be in a small degree vaccinated against tuberculosis. However, too much comfort should not be derived from this since in young children infection in any de- gree may become generalized and prove fatal. A person who has a latent infection may through strain, stress or illness, develop active tu- berculosis at any period of life. EVERETT TRUE — AND NOW, MR.
