PLANS ARE*" COMPLETER AT MEETING HELD IN THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD.^ WILL OPEN JUNE ELEVENTH ^ Governor Dsnaen >nd Mayor Sehnepp May Speak ̂ Before Druggists' ' Gathering--Chicago Dele­ gation to Attend. Springfield.--Completed planB for the social end Of the state druggists' convention in this city in June were discussed at a meeting of the drug­ gists at ihe St. Nicholas hotel, Spring- field. The Chicago delegation of druggists will reach this city in a special train June 11, the first day of the conven­ tion, and local members of the state association will meet them. With a band the Chicago crowd will be es­ corted to the St. Nicholas hotel, the convention headquarters, thence to Arlon hall, where probably Governor Deneen and Mayor Sehnepp will apeak. In the afternoon of "that day a business session will be held and in the evening a dance and card party will be given at Lincoln inn. Visiting druggists and their ^ ladies Tv-ill be given an automobile ride'^about the city Wednesday morning, the sec­ ond day. In the afternoon a recep­ tion for the visitors will be held and later a program of field sports at Lincoln park will be enjoyed, in which events for ladies and gentlemen will be carried out. In the evening the Chicago Social Drug club will give a vaudeville entertainment. State System Is Praised. That Illinois' management of her sta*e charitable institutions, dating under the present system from Janu­ ary 1, 1910, is worthy of copying to a large extent in Wisconsin, is the verdict of. M. Cerf, accountant for the Wisconsin state board of public affairs, and Ralp#E. Smith, president of the Wisconsin state board of con­ trol, who were callers at the office of the state board of administration. The men ^conferred with Fiscal Su­ pervisor Prank D. Whipp relative to the statistical end of Institutional management, and met other membefS' of the board who were in Springfield. Messrs. Smith and Cerf are investi­ gating methods of management and of accounting. The Wisconsin bOard of control has been in existence for sev­ eral years and has Jurisdiction over penal and charitable Institutions. The public affairs board, ^created for the purpose of bringing about greater ef­ ficiency and economy in the adminis­ tration of public affairs, is a much newer organization. Many Physicians Fall. That the standard of medical re­ quirements in Illinois is constantly be-' Ing increased, Is well shown in the latest reports of the state board of health, giving the results of the exam­ inations Ot 1911. Of 646 physicians who appeared for examination last year, only 432 were granted licenses to practice, the re­ minder, *214, or 33 per cent., having failed to obtain the required grade in the examination. Some of theBe physicians were be­ fore the board in two or more exam­ inations during the year. So eliminat­ ing the duplicates, the net failures will be about 23 per cent. This Is the highest percentage of rejections In the history of the state board of health. However, for several years past the Illinois*, state board of health hasVd other state boards hav­ ing practically equivalent require­ ments, in the matter ofc ^rejections. . In 1910, Illinois rejected 13.7 per x _f O O in CCIIL. 01 ail -- Michigan, 3.4 In Iowa, 5.5 lp Ohio, 6.4 in Wisconsin, and 8.^ in Indiana. Fifty-four medical colleges of the United States were represented in the examinations of 1911. The three leading colleges of Chicago, the Rush, Northwestern and the College of Physicians and Surgeons, "contributed 41 per cent, of the total number of ap­ plicants. The two smaller institutions of Chicago, which have been charged by lay and medical critics of Illinois medical institutions, with "flooding the state with physicians," contrib­ uted but an insignificant number as in years past. Out of the total number of 646 physicians, these two colleges combined furnished but 30, or under five per cent. Industrial Colony for Epileptics. The State Charities Commission in its 1911 report vitalizes the growing public sentiment in favor of the estab­ lishment of a state industrial colony for improving epileptics by defining exactly what such an Institution should be. It calls attention to the danger that the general assembly will not make the proper discrimination In treating epileptics. New Corporations.

Kgan, secretary of th Illinois state board| of 1 heaKh, ha determined that the ^people of the state shall have free anti-tOxin. fren If the appropriation covgrfftg the cost of distribution^*** the same has beep exhausted. Some months ago the appropriation for the distribution of the anti-toxin in the city of Chi? cago was exhausted and a short time later the appropriation for the rest of the state ran out. Since then calls for anti-toxin have been turned down, but Secretary Egan completed ar­ rangements with the flrgis which have been supplying the state whereby the anti-toxin would be furnished with payments deferred until such a time as the state tnakes provision for pay­ ment of the bills. Dr. James A. Egan Is now in corre­ spondence with the state contractors, the Lederle anti-toxin laboratories of New York. The following editorial, taken from the Burlington <I») Hawk-Eye, shows what our neighbors th*ok of the situation: The state board of health an-1 nounces that the distribution of free anti-toxin will copae to an end because the appropriation has been exhausted. There was more diphtheria last fall and winter than had been anticipated, and, therefore, the appropriation will not reach. Lot everybody have due respect for^bookkeeping, and for the keeping of various funds intact and for the sacredness of appropriations. | etc. But when It is a question of j fighting diphtheria it does not seem j right and proper that the mere fact thart a fund Is exhausted should stand In the way. It is a question of sav­ ing lives, and that to most persons would look more Important than mere keeping of books and accounts, i The £tate ought to find money for that purpose, and no matter whether; It Is legal of not, the officials who do j find It, will be pleased and honored by all right thinking people.

Asks Aid In War on Private Bankc. State supervision of private banks to protect depositors against dishon­ est ariitt Incompetent "banker," was urged by B. F. Harris of Champaign, president of the Illinois Bankers' as- associktion. and W. T. Abbott, vice- president of the Central Trust com­ pany. Both men made an address on the subject at the luncheon of the As­ sociation of Commerce at the Hotel La Salle* Chicago, and urged that body to co-operate lHu securing the de- 6ired legislation. Not only the private banks, but the private "trust" companies and the "blue sky" securities swindlers will be examined and supervised by state authorities, if the plans of the bank­ ers are approved by the Illinois state legislature next year. "All but four states have regula­ tions for those who use the word 'bank' or 'bankers,' " said iir. Harris. "Illinois is one of those four. The lack of some requirement is a con­ stant menace. Even barbers and horse doctors must pass muster in Illinois, but any concern can hang out a banker's sigii?and then defraud citizens and possibly desftoy finan­ cial credit and shake confidence'In sound banks. "Of course there are many honest and reliable private banks, especially In the country, but In Illinois there are twice as many state and national banks as private bdnks, and yet In the last nineteen years there have been1- eighty-three private hank fail­ ures to sixteen failures of supervised banks. "The loss to depositors in private banks was $2,900,000 on a total de­ posit balance of $60,000,000, while the supervised bank loss was $2,265,000 on $1,375,000,00 of deposits. In the entire United States the private bank loss ratio for that time was 21 times greater than in the supervised batiks, "Without question, the greatest money loss to individuals is the loss through°*investment in 'get-rich-qulck' and 'blue sky' securities. Those who sell these, the loan sharks, and sever­ al types of private bankers, sare all of the same breed, and Illinois should tolerate them no longer." Woodhnen Rate* Favored. Representatives of the thirty-seven societies in the Illinois Fraternal con­ gress at a meeting in Chicago, in­ dorsed the readjustment of Insurance fates made by the Modem Woodmen of America at the annual convention of the Woodmen held there in Janu­ ary. Delegates to the congress also adopted a resolution protesting against the bill introduced In the Illinois leg- j Islature by Representative D D. Dona- j hue of Bloomington. The Donahue bill would prohibit all schedules of j fraternal insurance made between January 1 and March 1 from going j into effect until January \) 1915. j "That bill In the legislature." said ' W. E. Hyde of Chicago, president of j the congress, "was fathered by insur- j gents among the Modern Woodmen i who refuse to stand by the recent re­ adjustment of rates of the society. We are opposed to the bill." State Board Meets This Month. The regular meeting of the Illinois state board of agriculture, at which plans' fW the 1912 Illinois state fait will be considered, will bV. held is the city of Springfield Tuesday, XTfirlJ 16. A number of important matters of business will be taken up at thia meeting, among them the resubmis­ sion of bids for the new horse barns djiu bwiue anti uueep pavilions, which it is hoped to have completed by the opening of the '•state exposition this year. State President Talk* to W. C. T. U.. An address by Mi$s Helen L. Hooc of Chicago, stat# president of the Woman's Teja^erance union, closed the elevenra annual county in stitute at the Central Baptist church Springfield. A number of excellent papers and good debates were ^fvet in tiff course of the program. According to Miss Hood ,the W. C T.

Washington.--Some one with a grievance or with an unbalanced mind has been scribbling on the walls of the capitol in "a large, free hand" with blue chalk various uncomplimen­ tary comments about great and al­ most great statesmen doing their country's service in Washington. No matter what the motive which in­ spires the scribbling, the act is one of a vandal because it disfigures the walls of the building, and the police and the watchmen are trying to catch the culprit. It will be remembered that not long ago a large pieoe was cut out of the oil painting of "Perry at Lake Erie" Since then a special watch has been kept to prevent repetitions of the van­ dalism. False Alarm About Webster. Washington was much disturbed a day or two ago when it heard that somebody with a chisel had chipped pieces out of the marble trousers and the marble coattall of the statue of Daniel Webster which Btands in Statuary hall. A close inspection h&a led to the discovery that the Webster memorial has not been Injured by the hand of man. Elliott Woods, the su­ perintendent of the capitol, says that the holes which were discovered in the Webster statue were put there by the sculptor and have been plainly vis­ ible ever slriee the statue was erected. Some one suggested that the vandal who was at work was a new kind of moth which had developed an appe­ tite for marble garments. Former Vice-President Levi P. Mor­ ton has made up his mind to come back and live In the capital for eight or nine months a year for the rest of his life. He owns a beautiful resi- denoe on Rhode Island avenue, where he lived w£en he was vice-president of the United States under Harrison. When Mr. Morton went out of offioe the Russian ambassador moved into the residenoe and, following him, came Secretary of State Ellhu Root, and then John Hays Hammond. Mr. Mor­ ton himself lived there for a few months two years ago. Morton Mansion In Peril. There Is a fine arts commission which is supposed to take cognizance of every attempt to increase the beau­ ty of the capital, a cognizance which embraces the overlooking of improve ments In public buildings. The wish has been expressed that the commis­ sion might extend Its espionage to private dwellings, for some of the beautiful old places in Washington have been remodeled by their socially ambitious purchasers into mere resi­ dence monstrosities, in many cases glaring and In most cases unbeautlful. It is understood that Vioe-Presi- denlf Morton Intends to spend $60,000 to improve his Rhode Island avenue home. Today it is beautiful as it Is, a warm red brick pleasing to look upon and suggestive in every way of comfort. It is now said that it is In­ tended to give the house a more state­ ly appearance by the Introduction of white marble in places. The old house has been a comfort to the eye of many a Washlngtonian man and visitors, and the changes are awaited with trepidation. Children's Playground Lost. Washington, with all her monuments and statues, good, bad and indifferent, and all her vacant land, still has not space left-in which to erect public me­ morials, and It ought to be said also that projects more necessary to the public health than marble statues, like playgrounds for the children, cannot be thought of apparently because of lack of room. For two years by means of private subscriptions, for example, a little gr§^e at the corner of,j Fourteenth street and Columbia road has been used as a playground and fitted up for the children. It was covered with oak trees of priceless value, as far as their shade qualities are concerned, and was one of the most pictures<|ue spots in the city. It is In the heart of a thickly settled district, where it Is a cruelty to keep children within doors and a continual danger to let them out 6n the streets. Nevertheless congress, which would spend $75,000 for a Federal building in a town of 281 inhabitants, neg- •ected to secure this breathing space. The magnificent oak trees are being cut down, and where last summer the place was alive with children, a fam­ ily hotel will Btand. Many Monuments Projected.

The demand for space la in­ sistent, and the' senate committee on library has record of no less than eight requests, while the house com­ mittee doubtless has as many mare. A bill appropriating $1,00,000 fpr a statue of Alexander Hamilton trtfiiady has passed the senate. The sum of $50,000 is wanted for a statue to Matthew Fontaine Maury, the American naval officer whose scientific work descriptive of the sea is among the classics. A memorial to the signers of the Declaration of In­ dependence is asked for, with an ap­ propriation of $10,000 for plans alone. The sum of $1,500 is suggested for a small statue to Capt Charles Wilkes, who is chiefly celebrated in popular recollection for taking Mason and Slldell, the Confederate commission­ ers, from the British mall steamer Trent In 1861. The United States government did irot"back up Captain Wilkes in bis actr of taking the Co%^ federate commissioners off the Brit­ ish vessel. In fact, nearly all diplo­ mats thought, and think today, that Wilkes acted without proper authority under international law and that the Confederate and the British govern­ ments had a perfect right to protest, and that the United States authori­ ties could do nothing else than to dis­ avow the naval officer's act. Admirers of Major Andrew S. Ro­ wan, U. S. A., who is still living, have put in a bill appropriating $5,000 for some memorial of his famous exploit In 1898, when he was sent by Presi­ dent McKinley to Cuba to communi­ cate with General Garcia, the leader of the Cuban revolution. He made a landing from an open boat near Tur> qulno Peak and with much difficulty succeeded in reaching Garcia. House "Babies'* Have Frolic. At one of the Washington res­ taurants the other night there was a frolic of the "babies" of the house of representatives. Men to the number of one hundred serving their first terms In congress gathered for a dinner at the restaurant. They formed a house of representatives of their own and passed the time mak­ ing fun of the methods of their older colleagues and the personalities of some of their own number, in the main, however, they "pointed with Pfide" to themselves as the real statesmen ana referred to members of longer ̂ service as being entirely out of date and belonging in the pigeon­ holes with the archives rather than on the floor of the bouse with the "live ones." No party lines were drawn at this gathering. Republican and Democrat­ ic babies had fun together. Th$ tar­ iff came In for a bit of by-play. Protective Duty on Cats. A high protective duty was put on cats in order to protect the home industry. Every feline, whether a wild-cat a polecat or a domestic cat imported into the United stateB or Its island possessions, it was decid­ ed, must hereafter pay $1 a head in order to be admitted to full American catlzenshlp. As a rider to this bill catnip was placed on the free list- A prize was offered to the member who could make the most stirring ora­ tion on the American flag. Repre­ sentative Littleton was chosen as judge, but the oratorical flights of Representative Connell of New York and Wltherspoon of Mississippi were so nearly equal in grace and distance that the Judge gar* each the Unit prise. The senate galleries broke out into applause the other day when the name of Theodore Roosevelt was mentioned. The senate gallery has applauded at times the names of Wil­ liam Jennings Bryan and of many other well-known Americans without regard to political party, but It must be understood that It Is against the rules of the senate to allow applause in the gallery. Mustn't Applaud In 8enate. ' It makes no difference who It is that Is receiving the applause, the vice-president must bring down his gavel while the noise is continuing and say with all due solemity and severity that all demonstrations of ap­ proval are not allowed and that If they do not cease "the galleries will be cleared."

The cases where senators have broken the applause rule can be count­ ed on half the fingers of one hand.

For the first time In the history of the Illinois agricultural, experiment station cotton was grown during the Beason of 1911 on the Unionville field In Massac county, Illinois. It has been planned to grow it each year on a se­ ries of ten plots in a rotation of corn, eow peaB, wheat and cotton. The seed bed for the crop of 1911 was prepared by disking the soil anfl then plowing it about seven inches deep as early in May as the ground would work well. It was then disked once and harrowed three times. The seed were drilled on May 19 with a combination corn and cotton planter which dropped the seed about two Inches apart. The young plants came up healthy, but the stand was some­ what Irregular owing to a lack of sufficient moisture In the soil and to Irregular fed Ing due to the lint on the seed. The missing spaces were re­ planted with a hoe. The plants were harrowed once and* plowed six times. A two-horse, six-shovel cultivator with narrow shovels was used the first five plowihgs. The last cultivation was given with a one-horse, five-shovel garden cultivator. Ons heeling was given early In July, at which time the plants were thinned to one every 20 to 14 inches in the row. The plants appeared to be thrifty, despite the dry weather, until about the first of Sep­ tember, when a fungous disease at­ tacked many of the plants in certain areas, killing the foliage and often en­ tire plants. About the first of Octo­ ber, larvae attacked the foliage, de­ stroying practically all of It Many young bolls were destroyed also. The plants attained a fair height, however, considering that the soil had been badly depleted of plant feed and that no fertilisers had been tised. Ground limestone dust had been ap­ plied to certain plots in 1910, but it did not appear to affect the yield. The cotton was picked three times, on September SO, October 21, and No­ vember 22. The last picking was made after severe freesing weather. • total HOW TO CARE FOR HORSE'S SHOULDERS By PROF. DONALD M'INTOBH, University of lllinoia.

There are two reasons why the young horse is more liable to have sore shoulders than an older horse; first, the skin of the shoulders Is tender and Soft and is therefore easily galled by the oollar; seoond, the young horse does n<ft pull as steady or move as straight forward as the well broken horse does. This wiggling motion of the young horse causes the collar to move about on the shoulder, causing galls or bruises to 6ccur. It is a great loss to the farmer to bave to stop working a horse in the spring. To prevent the shoulders be­ coming sore they should be bathed every night after a day's work with the following lotion: Mix ons ounce of acetate of lead with one quart of soft water; shake up before using. Tbis will remove any heat or soreness that may occur during the day and will also toughen the skin. The col­ lar should be examined before being put on to see if there is any matted hair accumulated on any part and if so It should be removed. T|ie accumu­ lation of matted hair is ttae of the causes of galled shoulders. If this treatment is properly carried out it will prevent a great many cases of what might be sore shoulders. Frequently soft swellings will ap­ pear on the shoulders, especially in young horses. These swellings con­ tain a yellow fluid, the result of the connectlng-^lssue under the skin be­ ing bruised by the collar. This bruis­ ing causes a separation between the skin and the muscles and is difficult to cure The swel|lngs should be opened with a knife and the fluid squeezed out and a little «f t&e fol­ lowing lotion injected onp6 a day: Mix two drams chloride oCI^dc with one pint of water; shake up before using. This lotion will prevent the connect­ ing tissue fi0m secreting more fluid and help to repair the part. This o- tlon should be continued until the e a­ tery fluidrstups discharging and a ut­ ile white, healthy pus formB. Then the part should be let aioqg to heal, wbich U usually does in about three weeks yield of 1,288 pounds of sted cotton was obtained. Two varieties of seed were planted, one from Tennessee, the oth­ er from Virginia. There was but lit­ tle difference in the yield of seed cot­ ton produced by the two varieties, but the former produced 30 per cent of lint while the latter made 33 per cent. Most of the picking was done by school boys, who were paid one cent per pound of Beed cotton. Twelve hundred pounds of the seed cotton were sent to Pulaski, 111., to be gin­ ned and baled. A bale of 437 pounds, gross weight, was produced. The yield of lint was 179 pounds per acre. By way of comparison it may be of in­ terest to note that the average yield of lint per acre for the 45 years, 1866- 1910, for the state of Georgia, was IBS pounds. While the crop of 1911 represents the first attempt of the Illinois expert-* ment station to grbw cotton, consid­ erable attention was given this indus­ try in Illinois about the period of the Civil war. Cotton gins were erected in several counties of Illinois and cot­ ton was grown on a small scale on many farms. After peace was estab­ lished in the South cotton growing bad been resumed in that region, this crop was produced more profitably there than In Illinois, and the growing of cotton practically ceased in this state until only occasionally could a small area be seen. The indications now, however, point to a reawakening of this branch of farming. In 1910 28 bales of cotton were ginned at Pulaski, which has the only gin now operated in the state. It has been estimated that 1,000 acres will be plantM to cotton this season around Pulaski alone, and that the acreage will be considerably In­ creased by crops put out in other parts of Pulaski county and in Alex­ ander county. Although It is probable that the area devoted to growing cot­ ton in Illinois will always be small as compared to the arefttf devoted to corn, wheat and oats, yet we need not be surprised if the former crop should become an Important one in the future in the most southern counties of our state. if well treated. If any thickening should be left after the part has healed, mix one dram blnlodlde of mercury with uue nuu one-half osscss of lard and rub a little of this on the thickened part. Repeat every second week until the thickening disappears. In Bome cases a hard lump will form near the point of the shoulder. As a usual thing this lump is not hot or tender to the touch. The best treat­ ment for such a case is to make an opening into the center of the lump with a knife, about two-thirds the depth of the lump, and after bleeding stops, roll up two grains bichloride of mercury In a small piece of tissue paper, cone shape, put this Into the opening with the flngers, and then push It Into the bottom fcjf the opening with a probe. Repeat this treatment every third, day until the lump disap­ pears, which it will do in three to four weeks, leaving no blemish.

Those Insects llfe.8 j canker worm, codling moth and cur- ; culio which fefd upon parts of the , plant itself, are callod chewing In­ sects, and for thes<> an Insecticide called a stomach poison, such as ar^ senate of lead, should l>e used. For th^se insects, like S'tui Jose scale, i which feed upon the juices of/the plant, and are called sucking injects, a contact poison, as lime sulyfiur, Is employed. Such an insecNjj-fd'e kills by corroding the bodies of*% insects^ or stopping up the breathing pores, so with this spray It is necessary to hit j the insects themselves. Meat Economy. One of the most expensive articles of food in our daily diet is meat. It furnishes water, fat, mineral matter and protein to our bodies. The protein - is most important because it contains " the nitrogen which our body deiuauds for tissue building. The nitrogen , wastes are thrown off with difficulty ^ and when too much meat is consumed the excretory organs are overtaxed and our health suffers. Such foods as ' eggs, milk and cheese may easily be substituted for meat, since they. too. contain protein in large amounts. This is one very effective way to lessen ouj meat bill. wniw - . w ujd Weatern 'WaahlngtoB. tvitts iui 'llmaie, rich aoii. and prcxlmitj to Heinle mw tela will be money makera.
