CATTLE DISEASE
MENACE TO MAN.
The prevalence a6e of the foot and
mouth disease as reported among cat-
tle in various sections of Pennsylyania
may affect the dairy herds. Should
' these become infected there is a dan-
ger of the transference of the disease
from infected animals to human be-
ings through the milk.
As the records in this State show
this possibility Dr. Samuel G. Dixzen,
Oommissioner of Health, has issned
the following warning:
“The foot and mouth disease which
is known to the medical world as
aphthous fever is highly infectious in
cattle and manifests itself by a rising
temperature and the appearance of
blisters on the mucus membrane of
the month, tongne and nose. The
blisters are followed by ulcers; di-
gestive disturbances are also common.
Death seldom occurs in human be-
ings.
As a matter of protection against
the possibility of infection the use of
raw milk may be discontinued. A
safety factor is to pasteurize the milk.
Following is a simple method whieh
may be used.
“Place a saucer in a pail seven or
eight inches in diameter and about
the same height. Set the milk bot-
tle on this.
from the milk bottle. Pour in the
pail a sufficient quantity of luke
warm water to half cover the bottle.
Watch the water and as soon as it
has boiled twenty minutes, remove
the bottle of milk and allow it'to cool
slowly. Never place vhe milk im-
mediately upom the ice or the bottle
may break. Seal the bottle with a
new cap, a supply of which you can
obtain from the milk man, and place
the milk bottle where it will remain
at a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees
temperature. It must be kept cool
and clean if it 1s to remain safe for
use.
‘Jf the milk supply is not received
bottled secure a bottle of the same
size and cork after sterilization.”

APHORISMS ON RELIGION.
Persecution is‘a bad and indi-
rect way to plant religion.—Sir
Thomas Browne.
The body of all true religion
consists, to be sure, in obedi-
ence to the will of the sovereign
of the world, in a confidence in
his declarations and in imita-
tion of his perfestions, — Burke.
Religion. the pious worship of
God.—Clicero.
Men will wrangle for religion,
write for it: fight for it, die for
it; anything but—live for it.—
C. C. Colton.
Piety, like wisdom, consists in
the discovery of the rules under
which we are actually placed
and in faithfully obeying them.
—Froude.
TO WOMAN.
Backward, turn backward, dear
__. ones, in your flight;
Make yourself girl again just for
‘tonight;
Drop the sex question, suffra-
gette, sport;
Blow us one kiss of the old tash-
ioned sort.
-—Life.
SKY PRAISES.
Not golden sky, which was the
doubly blessed symbol of ad-
vancing day and of approaching
rest.—George Eliot.
The starry cope of heaven.—
Milton. !
The sky domed above us, with
its heavenly frescoes, painted
by the thought of the Great
Artist.—Allan Throckmorton.
-
Sometimes gentle, sometimes
capricious, sometimes awful;
never the same for two mo-
. ments together; almost human
"in its passions, almost spiritual
{ in its tenderness, almost divine
in its infinity, its appeal to what
is immortal in us is as distinct
_ as its ministry of chastisement
or of blessing to what is mortal
is essential.—Ruskin.
Flies’ Eggs.
Eggs of flies are so small that you
must use a microscope in order to see
their real peculiarities. Each female
fly lays on the average of 150 eggs.
For her cradle she selects a heap of
garbage or refuse. The eggs hatch
into minute maggots. In five days the
maggots turn into little chrysalids, or
pupae, shaped like miniature beans.
Within another five days these give
birth to flies, which develop with
amazing rapidity into adult insects,
and then the mischief begins.
Telling a Secret.
“No woman can keep a secret,” says
any woman's husband.
And any man’s wife, you may be
sure, has remarked at one time or an-
other and perhaps ms any times:

OVER A MILLION AND A HALF
WOMEN WORX AS FARM HANDS
IN THE UNITED STATES.
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers’ Union.
Qur government never faced so tre-
mendous a problem as that now lying
dormant at the doors of congress and
the legislatures, and which, when
aroused, will shake this nation from
center to circumference, and make
civilization hide its face in shame.
That problem is—women in the field.
The last federal census reports
show we now have 1,514,000 women
working in the field, most of them
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
There were approximately a million
negro slaves working in the fields
when liberated. by the emancipation
proclamation. We have freed our
slaves and our women have taken
their places in borslage. We have
broken the shackles off the negroes
and welded them upon our daughters.
The Chaln-Gang of Civilization.
A million women in bondage in the
southern fields form the chain-gang of
civilization — the industrial tragedy
of the age. There is no overseer quite
go cruel as that of unrestrained greed,
no whip that stings like the lash of
suborned destiny, and no auctioneer’s
block quite so revolting as that of or-
ganized avarice.
The president of the United States
was recently lauded by the press, and
very properly so, for suggesting medi-
ation between the engineers and rail-
road managers in adjusting their
schedule of time and pay. The engi-
neers threatened to strike if their
wages were not increased from ap-
proximately ten to eleven dollars per
day and service reduced from ten to
eight hours and a similar readjust-
ment of the overtime schedule. Our
women are working in the field, many
of them barefooted, for less than 50
cents per day, and their schedule is
the rising sun and the. evening star,
and after the day’s work is over they
milk the cows, slop the hogs and rock
the baby to sleep. Is anyone mediat-
ing over their problems, and to whom
shall they threaten a strike?
Congress has listened approvingly
to those who toil at the forge and be-
hind the counter, and many of our
statesmen have smiled at the threats
and have fanned the flame of unrest
among industrial laborers. But wom-
en are as surely the’ final victims of
industrial warfare as they are the
burden-bearers in the war between na-
tions, and those who arbitrate and
mediate the differences between capi-
tal and labor should not forget that
| when the expenses of any industry are
unnecessarily increased, society foots
the bill by drafting a new consignment
of women from the home to the field.
Pinch no Crumb From Women’s Crust
of Bread.
No financial award can be made
without someone footing the bill, and
we commend to those who accept the
responsibility of the distribution of in-
dustrial justice, the still small voice of
the woman in the field as she pleads
1 for mercy, and we beg that they pinch
no crumb from her crust of bread or
put another patch upon her ragged
garments. : :
"We beg that they listen to the
scream of horror from the eagle on
every American dollar that is wrung
from the brow of toiling women and
hear the Goddess of Justice hiss at a
verdict that increases the want of
. woman to satisfy the greed of man.
‘The women behind the counter and
in the factory cry aloud for sympathy
and the press thunders out in their
defense and the pulpit pleads for
mercy, but how about the woman ‘in
the field? Will not these powerful
exponents of human rights turn their
talent, energies and influence to her
relief? Will the Goddess of Liberty
enthroned at Washington hold the cal-
loused hand and soothe the feverish
brow of her sex who sows and reaps
the nation’s harvest or will she permit
the male of the species to shove’
women—weak and weary—from the
bread-line of industry to the back al-
leys of poverty?
Women and Children First.
The census enumerators tell us that
of the 1,514,000 women who work in the
flelds as farm hands 409,000 are six-
teen years of age and under. What is
the final destiny of a nation whose fu-
ture mothers spend their girlhood days
behind the plow, pitching’ hay and
hauling manure, and what is to become
of womanly culture and refinement
that grace the home, charm society
and enthuse man to leap to glory in
noble achievements if our daughters
are raised in the society of the ox and
the companionship of the plow?
In that strata between the ages of
sixteen and forty-five are 950,000 wom-
en working as farm hands and many
‘of them with suckling babes tug-
ging at their breasts, as drenched
in perspiration, they wield the scythe
and guide tha plow. What is to be-
come of that'.nation where poverty
breaks the crowns of the queens of
the home; despair hurls a mother’s
love from its throne and hunger drives
innocent children from the schoolroom
to the hoe?
The census bureau shows that 155,-
000 of these women are forty-five
years of age and over. There is no

Oh, America! The land of the free
and the home of the brave, thé
world’s custodian of chivalry, the
champion of human rights and the de-
fender of the oppressed—shall we per-
mit our maidens fair to be torn from
of destiny and chained to the plow?
Shall we permit our faithful wives,
whom we covenanted with God to cher-
ish and protect, to be hurled from the
home to the harvest field, and our
mothers dear to be driven from the old
arm chair to the cotton patch?
In rescuing our citizens from the
forces of civilization, can we not apply
to our fair Dixieland the rule of the
sea—‘“women and children first?”
There must be a readjustment of
the wage scale of industry so that the
women can be taken from the field or
given a reasonable wage for her serv-
ices. Perhaps the issue has never been
fairly raised, but the Farmers’ Union,
with a membership of ten million, puts
its organized forces squarely behind
the issue and we now enter upon the
docket of civilization the case of “The
Woman in the Field” and demand an
immediate trial.
RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief — President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent-
ly presented to President Wilson a,
memorandum briefly reviewing the dif-
ficulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the co-
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues,
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning ‘at both ends and the perils
+hat must ultimately attend such a
conflagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: “By reason of leg-
islation and regulation by the federal
acting independently of each other, as
well as through the action of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen-
eral theory of governmental regula-
tion, but on the other hand, no in-
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
venses created thereby.”
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
izes it as “a lucid statement of plain
truth.”
the emergency as extraordinaty, con-
tinging, said in part:
“You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private co-operative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
I am glad to do so because I think
the need very real.”
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world of
effort in which everyone may co-oper-
ate.
There are many important, prob-
lems in our complex civilization that
will yield to co-operation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary ruls
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money is a factor that can-
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter-
ested party that should always be con-
sulted and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
tion of our railroad problems.
Girls Love Each Other So.
Two girls fighting on a street corner
this evening. It was an uncomely sight
and, thank fortune, an unusual one.
Passersby were so amazed that they
stopped a few seconds, just as the
policemen took the belligerents, to in-
quire the cause of the row. An el
derly woman who sold papers at the
corner supplied the information.
“It was all over nothing, like it
always is,” said she. “Them girls
is good friends, and all in the world
that started the scrap it was whén
one, to josl the other, said: ‘Excuse
me, Madge, is that your hair you
got on?” Then they went at. it.
