State Sanitariums 
Is there an institution in this State 
where tuberculosis patients are treated 
free, or where one could send a patient 
and be assured that he would be given a 
chance to pay the patient’s expenses as 
lie could? p. e. n. 
New York. 
There is a State sanitarium at Ray 
Brook. N. Y., where incipient and indi¬ 
gent cases are taken to the extent of their 
capacity. Application for admission 
should be made through the local health 
officer. There are many other county and 
local institutions, with varying require¬ 
ments for admission. Write the State 
Department of Health at Albany, N. Y. 
stating the requirements of your case, arid 
ask for information as to any institution 
where your needs may be met. Ask. also, 
for their booklets upon the care and 
treatment of the tubercular. ir. R. D.

City and Country Health 
I have been reading M. B. D.’s article 
on ‘‘Health in City and Country,” and 
it ish to add a few thoughts. I wish to 
state emphatically that there are not now, 
nor ever were, any statistics to prove the 
city a more healthful place to live in than 
tbo country. ^ p iiavi? bad sonic of those 
city windbags up this way trving to stuff 
us with such _ “facts.” Who ever heard 
of people leaving the country for the city 
as a health resort? _ Why do they send 
so many fresh air children into the coun¬ 
try if the city is the more healthful? 
W hy do men get out of the eitv and into 
the country for their health if the citv is 
so healthful? 
There are over 500 villages in New 
York State of oyer 500 inhabitants. Very 
tew of these villages have waterworks. 
Houses are from 75 feet to 150 feet apart 
in many instances. Most homes have 
wells and closets ou a small lot. Sani¬ 
tary conditions at best are not good. Be¬ 
sides these villages, there are hundreds of 
smaller ones with equally bad conditions. 
If M. B. D. will stop ro think he will 
recall that a very large percent of con¬ 
tagious diseases start in villages. 
Now, in the so-called statistics, these 
villages are classed in with the country 
and are called “rural.” If those who 
wish to prove the city so healthful will 
separate the village statistics from the 
country and place them with the city I 
am sure a far different showing will 
appear. j. f. n.

Will the drinking of sassafras tea. made 
from sassafras luirk, to reduce flesh, in 
any way injure the general health? This 
seems a peculiar question to ask you. but 
l have seen some splendid medical ad¬ 
vice given In The R. N.-Y., and I know 
I can rely ou your reply. I have seen 
excellent results from the use of it for 
the purpose named, but I want to know 
whether it is absolutely harmless. 
Massachusetts. r. s. 
I should consider the drinking of sas¬ 
safras tea in sufficient quantity reallv to 
reduce flesh injurious, since 1 know of no 
other way in which it could produce this 
result than by interfering with digestion. 
Sassafras contains, as its active ingredi¬ 
ents, tannic acid and a volatile oil that 
gives it its pleasant flavor. It is not 
used iu medicine save as a flavoring sub¬ 
stance. Probably no evil result would 
follow the drinking of a reasonable quan¬ 
tity of the tea made from this plant., 
though tannic acid is not a substance to 
be taken into the st< 
ernble quantity. If 
really redneing flesh

me nrst figure, in the bouth, repre¬ 
sents the percentage of phosphoric acid. 
Eight per cent, of phosphoric acid per 
oue hundred pounds is equal to 160 lbs. 
in a toil of fertilizer. 
Two per cent nitrogen or two pounds 
in one hundred is equal to 40 lbs. iu a 
ton of fertilizer for nitrogen. AND 
auimoniates are not nitrogen, having 
first to be converted into nitrate by soil 
bacteria, which takes weeks or months, 
meaning little or nothing to this year’s 
crop. 
The other figure 2 represents potash. 
2 lbs. in 100, or 40 lbs. to the ton of 
fertilizer. 
It is nitrogen which is t mined lately 
available that makes early planted crops 
mature, jump in growth, getting cotton 
ahead of the boll weevil with a heavy 
yield. So when you buy fertilizer insist 
on knowing how much immediately avail¬ 
able nitrogen it contains. 
Nitrate of Soda is nitrogen that is 
immediately available and produces the 
prompr results planters want and have 
the right to expect. Its use is not only 
economical, but it is highly profitable. 
To insure success use Nitrate of Soda 
at the rate of 150 lbs. to 200 lbs. to the 
acre on cotton, fruits and other cultivated 
I crops at the time of planting.

Cesspool Near Well 
I have dug a cesspool about 35 ft. 
from well, and iu a wet time cesspool 
will fill half full of water. Well also 
rises to a level with bottom of cesspool. 
There is a fall of about S ft. from well 
to cesspool. Is it possible for the liquid 
to work back from cesspool to the well, 
and ruin it as water lowers? It is a clav 
SOll. A. H. ' 
Flanders, N. J. 
As now located there is extreme dan¬ 
ger of the sewage in the cesspool leach¬ 
ing into the well. The fact that there is 
a surface fall of about. N ft, between the 
well and the cesspool and in the direction 
ot the cesspool does not insure against 
this, ns when the water falls in the well 
it i> no doubt below the level of the cess¬ 
pool. and tho sub-surface flow may then 
be in the direction of the well. A cess¬ 
pool located so close to the well makes 
unsafe drinking water almost a surety. 
While there arc many instances of cess¬ 
pools giving entire satisfaction as a 
means of disposing of sewage, they can 
never be said to be safe, as there may 
he underground water passages that we 
know nothing about that will carry the 
sewage beneath the surface for a long 
distance. The very fact that it scops 
away from the cesspool shows that it is 
discharged into the soil surrounding it. 
A septic tank, such as is described in the 
various farm bulletins, will care for your 
sewage in a safe and efficient rnauner 
and should be used.
