A clerk cannot safely un-

CORDELL • • OKI. A
Tuberculosis is an ever present evil
in this country. To be sure the toil
annually taken by this diseas.e has
been greatly reduced during the past
two decades. Yet It still is not only
a terribly high toll, but an unnecessa-
rily high one. Medicines can do lit-
tle in tuberculosis; physicians can do
something, but what is especially
needed is for the people themselves
first to take the proper precautions
against the onset of the disease, atitl
second, to take in time the right
measures to combat tuberculosis, once
it has gained a foothold. For tu'oer-
•ulosis is a disease which can be cur-
ed. To effect a cure, however, it not
only is necessary to follow the rlglu
course, but to adopt that course be
fore it is too late. Time is one of
the most important factors in the
fight
It has been conclusively proven that
there is absolutely tio basis for the
old belief, once so wide spread, that
tuberculosis is an hereditary disease.
It does not "run in certain families,"
as once supposed. The reason why
it appeared so was because persons
belonging to the same family as a
tubercular person were more exposed
to infection. Tuberculosis is a germ
disease and practically the only way
which it is transmitted is from per-
son to person. This does not mean
that the person afflicted with tuber-
culosis. especially in its milder forms,
should be shunned. It does mean
that in simple justice to others he
should observe precautions. The most
important of these are:
A person should not breathe, sneeze
or cough in the face or even in the
direction of another person.
Great care should be used in de-
stroying promptly the sputum and na-
sal secretions of the tubercular. They
are among the most dangerous sources
of infection.
Nobody should expectorate ou the
sidewalk or in other public places
a person with tuberculosis should be
especially careful not to.
A tubercular person should not
sleep with other persons and in case
| of children great care should be used
to see that they do not use the sama
handkerchief or other articles.
Tubercular Remedies.

containing alcohol, opium compounds
or other drugs. The best that can be
hoped from them is that they will
do neither good nor harm, beyond
the harm of wasting the pat'enfs
money and giving him false hooea.
Fresh air. sunshine, proper exer
else, plenty of nourishing food and
freedom from worry are the best rvm
edles for tuberculosis. The tube'eu
lar patient should sleep out of floors
and be in the fresh air as mui .• at
possible. It Is a great mistake to
sleep out of doors, as in a sleeping
porch, during the summer and then
change to indoors when it begins to
get cold. In this way the bene it
gained during the summer often l*
lost and the patient (aces the spring
weaker than in the preceeding year.
Steaks, eggs, milk and cream
should be eaten in large quantities,
la fact the patient should endeavor
to Increase the amount of nutritious
food, thus enriching the blood as well
as building up the system In general.
The mental attitude of the patient is
Important. A patient should reuiem

is real ground hope and that worry
and pessimism simply decrease the
chances for complete recovery

Cultivate Patience by Learning Self
I Control. Angry Retorts Encourage
Trifles to Irritation
There is an old jingle which is
hanged from time to time to suit the
sex of the person quoting it. but runs
something like this: "Patience is a vir-
.ue. have it while you can, always
known to woman, never known to
man."
Of course if a man recites this little
verse he Invariably makes the ''al
ways" and "never" shift places so
that the sense of the verse is quite
changed, crediting man instead of
woman with the possession of this in-
valuable virtue.
However, that is neither here nor
there, as it is with Uie first two lines
of the jingle that we are concerned,
not the last two, which might serve
t any time to start an interesting ar-
ument as to the relative amount of
patience possessed by man or woman.
There are so many occasions in the
daily routine when we could keep our
ratience if we only tried, but very
.'aw of us do. We grow impatient ov-
er every {rifle annoyance, over every
it tie delay, every time we are kept
waiting, every time things do not go
just the way we want or expect; every
'ittle disappointment brings forth a
isplay of Irritation or temper.
This little jingle does not demand
he impossible or unnatural. It does
;iot ask that we be patient and re-
igned under all circumstances and
onditions. It simply asks that we
lave patience, "while we can" under
the daily annoyances and the petty
discomforts which occur in almost
every life.
Life is filled to the brim with little
disappointments and irritating trifles,
but if we learn to keep our patience
under them they cease to Irritate and
disappoint. On the other hand, if we
become impatient every time we are
crossed in any way we soon find more
and more things to become irritable
about.
In other words, the proportion to
ur self-control and our patience is
he power which trifles have to annoy
us. If we have no idea of self-controi
..ml are gl^n to displays of temper
.ver every petty mishap we find life
retty rough and dlled with angry
. ross winds all the time, whereas it
e have learned to control our own
rinds sufficiently to eliminate anger
except under the greatest provoca-
tion) and have learned patience we
ind life pretty smooth sailing on the
whole.
If we have patience "when we can'
under the deily annoyance we will
Ind, when we reach the big trials in
i'.fe, that the habit of patience is so
strong that it regulates us even then,
bringing us through the worst crisis
without any cause for regret or re-
pentance. That is the lesson which
can be read from the first two lines of
this age old jingle, if you try to read
it aright.
The great trials, which come to till
of us at some time or another, will
be far easier to bear if we have
learned patience and self-control In
the hard sc hool of daily life.
So let ti strive for patience in
our daily Intercourse with fellow
workers, with our families, with the
Grangers we mn np against tn the
.'traets. Let us strive for self-control
to speak no angry retort when an-
noyances occur. To the fellow-work
er who is Irritable and easy to anger
let us try to speak only words of
kiudness and good cheer. Toward the
strangers who push and shove in the
<ars and shops, and on the streets,
regardless of courtesy or civility, let
us strive to keep a patient and smil-
ing front.
In return for the hundred and one
annoyances which occur In our
homes, on the streets and in the >ar<
and offices let us give back a cheer-
ful word and smile. II will leave
about us. in the hearts of those we
meet, regret for past rudeness and
will spread happiness and good cheer:
whereas if we returtad angrily it
would only augment the Irritation
round about. Let us try to remem-
ber "patience is a virtue" and have
It whilq we can.

.Y i 11 Enable Farmers to Tell Where
His Expenditures Go and How |
His Income is Secured.
Business methods in farm manage-
ment will enable the manager to de-
termine just where his income is
(oming from and where his expendi-
tures go. And this information is ab-
solutely necessary if one is to find
out which crops pay and which lose
money. The problem is to eliminate
-the unprofitable crops as well as the
. nprofttable animals.
But how are we to find the >:n-1
profitable crops and animals? Thir1
must be done if found at all by keep-
ing accounts.
Farm accounts are valuable: they
show us our business and give us „ '
• hance to improve it.
It need not require much time to
keep simple accounts such as are
generally needed on the farm. By cul-
tivating the habit of recording tran£-,
actions as soon as they are made it'
soon becomes easy.
Where farmers have never prac-
"iced keeping records and accounts
and find it against their training they
might get some member of the fam-
ily, a boy or a girl, to keep these ac-
counts. The practice will train tht
children and at the same time It will
give the manager the facts.
At the close of the year is a goo 1
time to begin. The inventory may be
taken and the books opened for the
operations the following year. The
various fields should be charged wi'h
the labor, fertiliser, seed etc.. and
riven credit for the yield. In the
same way. the animals may be charg-
ed for pasture, feed and shelter and
given credit for labor ar products
they bring. The land should be cred-
ited with interest, the buildings. Im-
plements. tnarhlnea. etc.. estimated
ith proper deterioration. In other
words, our farms should be treated as
f they were a stock of merchandise
that must pay a profit
