His sermon last Sunday night onthe "Menace of the Streets" waslistened to with rapt attention by

an appreciative audience. Thesubject was intensely interesting

and the able manner in whichit was handled by Dr. Barnes

has left a profound impres-

sion on the minds of his hearers.

He hit the movies in the solar

in humzm beings whose charac-

teristics were like the dove, so

much so that they were good for

nothing, and then the next wasthe parrot who simply imitates

others in their thoughts and

CARING FOR VETERANS

PROPOSED ORGANIZATION HASMET WITH APPROVAL.

With the present day development

of the automobile, there is no longer

a question of driving seasons for the

motorists to ponder over. Several

years ago the average aatomokflle

owner would look fbr safety of a ga-

rage for his car over the winter

months. Just as aoon as the first snowbegan to fly. Now, however, it is the

exception rather thaa-^ the rule fOr acar to be put in "dead" storage at anytime of tile year, and thousands of mo-torists in this country take particular

delight in touring over roads during

the fall and winter months. There is

a strange fascination to winter driving

In the BOlnirbs that holds a number of

car owners in its spell.

With the 'increased use of cars dur-

ing the winter there has developed a

tendency on the part of a number of

owners to neglect the care of cer-

tain parts of their cars. One of the

most frequent difficulties encouniered

by the winter motorist is brought

about by neglecting to take care of

tlie Inbrication and eooUng systems

of his car. It is not nnnsual to see i

the car stAitding unattended and 'with

its radiator entirely exposed to the

cold winter blasts. If a car is left In

this state for a lengthy period Its driv-

er is certain to have trouble lu start-

ing the motor, and occasionally a too

lengthy period of wposare develops

serious expensive damage. The safest

way to avoid trouble of this nature Is

tx3 use an anti-freezing mixture In the

radiator. Perhaps the most simple

and most effective preventative of

freezing is a two to one solution of

alc<Ciol and water. By filling the radi-

ator with such a mixture the motorwUl be safe from freezing: on even

the coldest days. A lighter grade of

cylinder oil might be used to good ef-

fect during the winter. An owner Is

apt to neglect to lubricate the small

parts of his car during this time of

the year. Instead of paying the sameattention in this dhrectlon as he' wthild

in the stunmer.Another remedy, and y«tf effective,

1b to eqirip your car with a dash-prim-

ing device. Just before attempting to

start the car. inject considerable gaso-

line into the cylinder and thereby in-

crease the possibilities -of the mixture

firing quickly.- These are but a fewfiuggestions for the winter motorist,

but if they are followed much of the

annovances so often encountered will

be eliminated.

Avoid Overloading.Many motor truck owners have the

idea that there is no limit to the abil-

ity of a solid tire to bear loads, andmo pfle their cars high with "cargo"without . any regard for their tires.

Solid tires, however, are as sensitive

to overloading as pneumatics, and the

head of the motor tire department of

a large company sounds a warning of

iOaJL ttre abuse. "The immediate re-

sult of overloading a wMA tire," hesays, *ia tke atipeannoe of a bulge,

oalled a traction wave,' in the rubberJnst in tront of the point of contactbetween tire and street. This wavewith the enormoue weight back of It,

works through to the very base of thetire. No tires are made of pure rub-

ber. The gum must be compoun<?odwith chemicals to give the desiredvreac^restatlng analltiea. The traction

wave lessens thjB cohesive power of

<iie compouM- and if not guardedagainst, eventually will tear the tir*i

away from the steel rim. Not onlydoee the wave ruin the tire, but it alao

ftffects the truck as though it were go-

ing np hill, InvolviBg » constant loss of^wer."

Idea Is to Give Help to Old Timers In

Automobile Field Who MayBe In Need.

The plan in Detroit for the forma-tion of a benevolent ^society of veter-ans of the automobile industry hasprogressed. This organization wUl beformed to keep track of the old timersIn the automobile business, and alsoto look after the Interests of theirfamilies in times of need. Of lateseveral old timers in the motor carfield have met with misfortunes, ac-cident, sickness and the like and intheir time of need have been in realwant In other instances old timershave dropped away, leaving theirfandUes in dire stnlts.

It Is the idea of the men who haveerrfved the general plan of the be-nevolent society to maintain a cen-tral office In Detroit, and temporaryheadquarters of the organization havebeen placed in charge of F. Ed Spoon-er. ^3 Free Press bnflding, !Detrolt

England has an orgranization alongsomewhat similar lines which is doinga vast amount of good. There wassome talk of an organized body at thetime Pat Hussey of Cleveland, one ofthe most prominent of the old timers,became suddenly blind. This wasalmut two years ago and liberal spiritsin the ^|<l<toobile world raised a fondso large his relief that he willlive comfortably for the rest of hisdays upon the Income from the fund.This action of the few broughtthoughts of the probable rasnlts werethe entire field of veterans of five

years or more standing in the field tobe banded together into one compactbody for mutual benefit, and thatthought has been uppermost in theminds of many until it lias finally crys-

tallized into definite form. /

KILLING THE POULTRY LICE

Hiding Places for Vermin in Ntetsand Houses Should Be Cleaned

Out^k-fteeipe for Powder.

One of the best ways to fight lice

on poultry is to keep the nests androosts clear of biding places for them.

Thus it is wise to have all the build-

ings just as simple as possible. Fre-quently, however, lice will iMther nomatter how well the place te. keptcleaned up. and it is necessary; to dustthe birds with powder. lUen is agood insect powder used at the NewYork experiment station:

Mix three parts of gasoline withone part of crude carbolic acid of 95per cent, strength—one part of cresdlwill do, it the add Is- not available—and gradoally add, with stirring,

enough plaster of parls to make, whenthe liquid is uniformly mixed, a drj',

pinkish-brown powder having a fairly

strong carbolic odor and a rather less

pronounced gasoline odor. As a gen-eral rule, it takes about four quwts of

plaster of parts to one qnart of theliquid.

In using this powder on the birds,

remember that the eggs are not killed

by one dusting, and as these probablyare present at the time of the appli-

cation, more than one dusting, shouldbe given. Repeat the applications

ohce or twice, at intervals of fromftmr days to a week.

\ For a siway to be applied to nests

and roosting places to. kill the insects,

mix three parts of kerosene to onepart of crude carbolic acid of 95 percent, strength. Stir this mixture be-

fore it is used. It also may. be usedas a paint as well as a spi^.

DARKNESS AND LIGHT.

LESSON TEXT-Luke U:14-26, 33-38.GOLDEN TEXT — "LKMk - therefore

whether the light tliat la In tfiie be notdarkness." Luke 11:35.

I. The Accusation Cw. 14-16.) Thefact of demonology as revealed in theNew Testament records is herestrongly emphasized.. Their existence,

their malignity, their evil powers,their relation to the devil, and yettheir subjection to our Lord, is all

clearly set before us. The devil hadBO taken possession of this man that

he could not speak, yet a word fromJesus, and the dumb spake. That heshould have such power caused the

people to "wonder^ (v. 14). His mir-

acles wwe for <me prtaudpal reason(John S: 36) . Matthew tells us (12 : 23)

that in this case they asked the ques-

tion: "Is this the Son of David," e. g.,

tho promised Messiah? The recorddoes not, however, Indicate that they

believed on him—were converted.

They knew ifhat had been prophesied

aboat the Coming One (Isa. 29:18,

32:3, 4), yet they hesitated to comeout on hlB~ side. Into the nddst of

their controversy (v. 15, Matt. 12:24;

Mark 3,: 22) the Scribes and Phariseesprojected themselves. They hadcome down from Jerusalem seeking,

"that they might accuse him" (John

19:35, 36). It is ever thus that thedevn seeks to divert.

Convincing Logic.

II. The Defense (vv. 17-20). "Buthe, knowing their thoughts." Evident-

ly they dared not openly to make their

accusations. They would not accepttlie natural and true explanation.

Jesua endured this contradition andthese charges for us (Isa. 53:3, 4),

and must not his disciples expect alike treatment? (Matt 10:25). Withconvincing logic Jesus reveals their

motive (v. 16) and demomstrates the

untenable position and conclusionwhich resulted from their own charge.Satan is not fighting himself. A kingnever sends an army against his ownsoldiers, but against those of his en-

emy. -Therefore, out of their own ac-

knowledgement that the devils werecast out, he proves that the kingdomof God has come upon them. Such anaccusation (v. 15) was to Jesus an ev-

idence of the depravity of their hearts.

There is keen sarcasm in the answerhe demanded from them (v. 19). BSvi-

dsntly they, too, had had power overdemons, and it is easy to see the di-

lemma into which he led them. Thisis not the only time that Jesus con-

victed men out of their own. testi-

mony (Matt 21:25).

III. The Application (vv. 21-26).

With a true teachsr's sldll Jesusdrives home the troth teooght out in

the preceding paragraph. Satan is a"strong man." but he, Jesns. is strong-

er: He has power to overcome and to

take from the strong man his armor(defense), and his spoil, and to bindhim fast (v. 22; Mark 3:27; Rev.20:2). Those bound by chains of sin

are the spoil of Satan, an^. Jesus is

the only one poweWol enoo^ to

—

—break the power of canceled sinAnd set the prisoner free.

Cleanse the "Palace."With Christ there must be entire

possession; there can be no neutrality

(V. 23). We cannot belong to Christand be » slave to Satan, to mammon,to seifi or even to others whom wemay love. The persistence of evil la

here indicated. Unclean spirits areever seeking a habitation. Thereforeit is not enough for a man to becleansed, his dwelling must be occu-pied, and if the Holy Spirit does nottake posses8i(Mi. the evil one will. Theparable that foUows (w. 24-26)

teaches this truth negatively. In one*

case Satan is dislodged by Christ, he'finds the "palace" (v. 22) (man) to

be pre-occupied. In this casf: the pal-

ace is empty (Matt 12:44). The ab-

sence of a positive attachment, too, orpossession by, Jesus Christ, involveshostiUty to him. This picture Is thatof the r^ormed man, not oC the re-

generated man. This latter has hisplace pre-occupied, and the returningspirit can find no place of abode. Un-less, however, such be the' case, thelatter end of that man is far worsethan his first state; witness the gold-

cured intemperate men who return totheir cups (2 Pet 2:22); they retonibecause they have no strong defenderto drive oil the retnmi&g enemy.This application and principle herepropotmded may, and does, accountfor most of the back-sliding after manyof the so-called conversions, viz., thatthe germ of character has not beengenerated (John 8:7). It is fay farthe most dlffleolt proposition inChristian woric to reach one who 1*

thus gospel hardened.rv. The Illustration (w. 33-36). In

his teaching, Jesus constantly used fsr

miliar objects as illustrations. TheIncongruity of placing a candle undera bushel measure rather than in Ita

rightful plaee that it may conspicu-ously perform its proper function Is at(mce apparait Jesos Is the li&X(John 7:17; 8:12), so also is theChristian. They are to be so set be-

fore men that, seeing Christ reflected

In them, they will glorify the Fathei*

who sent him. This is that which Is

used by Clod in redeeming, transform^Ing and ennoMlfcg earth** ainfal aha>

GOOD ADVICE OF LEADING STOCK RAISER

A Fine Farm Team.

A leading stock raiser of Illinois

advises all ysiuig men to "get afarm." In the coarse of his remarksibis farmer said:

"I believe the best residts In sgrl-

culture win eventually be worked ouion small farms. On large farms, wemust work at arm's length and cannotdo as well as we know how to do for

we must work through other men;and the men who work on large farmsare not men who are brainy, shrewdand improving—they are not of thistype. I have bad an Idea "lately—thefirst I nave for four or five years—^If

a man has an idea that is really worthwhile, even once in four or five years,

he will be doing well.

'"The farmer Is the one who oughtto be surest of all the necessities andcomforts of life, and safest from all

changes, panics, hard times and other\icissi^udes. In the farm home, chil-

dren can be better bred, better fed andbetter prepared for the struggle of

life.

HOW TO HAVE GOOD ORCHARD

Trees Should Be Set In Uniform Rows,Far Enough Apart to PermK Cut*

tlvatlon and^ Fertill^on.

Apple trees should be set 30 to 40

feet apart in uniform rows to facili-

tate cultivation, and keep well \;ulti-

vated and fertilized, says a writer in

the Progressive Fsnner.^ Peach,

plum and pear trees 20 to 30 feet

apart. A shovelful of wood ashes at

the root of each tree will keep insects

out of the roots, and are fine fertiliz-

ers. Peach trees can be set between

the apple trees in the rows and taken

out when the apple trees are 8 td

12 years <M and need the space, as

the peach to mainly short lived.

I keep all my plow lanid. In winter

crops, crimson clover, rye, wheat andvetch, oats and barley, etc., tb con-

serve the moisture and humus andprevent washing the orchard.

It is useless to plant apple trees

near (one-eighth ndle of) cedac trees.

The cedar throws off a spore that

falls on apple trees and produces mStPlant orchards. Nothing on a farm

will pay better than fruit, if planted

and cared for right. Nothing is more

helpful to our families; nothing moreso for our pockets. It Is not a game of

chance; if played right, it surely wins,

but to a failure If ne^ected.No one now expects to raise good

crops of com, cane or cotton, except

on land well prepared, well fertilized

and well cultivated- They usually

stick a fruit tree in the ground and

leave, it to live or die as chance maydirect; cultivate only when they wantto raise another crop on the land. Nocrop pays better -for ealtnre and care,

and fruit crops never pay in the long

run without Intelligent care.

PROPER GROWTH OF ALFALFA

.Select Productive, Welt-Drained Soil,

Cultivate Intelligently aud Give

Annual Top Dress.

Alfalfa can be grrown successfully

where the owner of the farm selects

productive, naturally well-drained soli,

heavily Umes, Uberally fertilizes withphosphorous and potassium. Int^-gently cultivates and prepares for anIdeal seed bed, carefully Inoculates

with bacterlarlnfested soil, seeds at

the proper time with good seed, and,

last of all, annually top-dresses with a

mineral mixture of commercial fertil-

iser containing phosphorous and po-

tassium. ' Thus, with due discretion

and Judgment regarding the cutting,

curing, storing and feeding of the

crop, the farmer and his live stock will

not only be benefited by an Increase in

dollars and cents, but also himself andhis faml'y will take pleasure in admir-

ing throughout the entire season its

general beauty, and at the same time

It is a noted fact that where roup

has become epidemic among fowls

they were crowded In tightly built

houses when the weather was very

cold and tbreee houses allowed to re-

main closed all the next day. Thiscreates a moisture which generates

dampness and the house becomes a

aalt

side, they are not safe against eachother.

"The farmer has, however, becomemore or less Imhaed with the spirit

of oonunerciallsm-^with the idea oCfarming soldy for money. He raises

big crops of com, oats or feeds manycattle to sell. And he sells them at

the other fellow's prices, hurries themon a glutted market and then turns

around and fanya many things that becould have easily produced on his ownfarm, at the other fellow's prices. Inthis way he pats himself In the en-emy's hands twice—once Vhen hesells and once when he buys.

"It seems to me that the first thing

you should do is to surround yourself

in farm homes with everything that

will be conductive to your comfort andwelfare."Produce first the things you need,

be it fruits, vegetables or meat; thenafter you have fortified yourself onyour farm fort, let the other fellow

have any suri)lus, if. he will pay yourprice for it.

"You can solve the problem your-self in the simplest way imaginable).Special meetings, long-wlnded reso-

lutions and profound magaSine arti-

cles are of no avail."

SCRATCHING POST FOR HOGS

Svccesaful -Plan Adopted by Marj^aad9wine^reeder^-rCrude Petroleum

If a hog knew how to tell his wantshe would demand a scratching postSuch posts, in the opinion at many hewgrowers, are not only a soorce tii greatcomfOTt to hogs—the pictare .(tf a hogor pig scratching hlpiseit and softly

male of lice or scaly skin.

CARIN6 FOR VETERANS

PROPOSeO ORGANIZATION HASMET WITH APPROVAL.

With the present day development

of the automobile, there is no longer

a question of driving seasons for the

motorists to ponder over. Several

years ago the average i^utomobile

owner would look for safety of a ga-

rage for his car over the winter

months, just as soon as the first snowbegan to fly. Now, however, it is the

exception rather than the rule for acar to be put In "dead" storage at anytime of the year, and thousands of mo-

torists in this country take particular

delight in touring over roads during

the fall and winter months. There is

a strange fascination to winter driving

In the aubarbs tbat holds a number of

ear owners in Its spell.

With the increased use of cars dur-

ing the winter there bas developed a

tendency on the part of a number of

owners to neglect the CAre of cer-

tain parts of their cars. One of the

most frequent dilflculties encountered

by the winter motorist is brought

about by neglecting to take care of

file Inbrication and eooling systemsof his car. It is not nnnsual to seei

the car standing unattended and with

Its radiator entirely exposed to the

cold winter blasts. If a car is left In

this state for a lengthy period Its driv-

er Is certain to have trouble In start-

ing the motor, and occasionally a too

lengthy period of ocposare developsserious expensive damage. The safest

way to avoid trouble of this nature to

to use an anti-freezing mixture in the

radiator. Perhaps the most simple

and most effective preventative of

freeEing is a two to ove solution of

alct\'iol and water. By filling the radi-

ator with such a mixture the motorwin be safe from freezing on eventhe coldest days. A lighter grade of

cylinder oil might be used to good ef-

fect during the winter. An owner Is

apt to neglect to lubricate the smallparts of hia car during this time of

the year. Instead of paying the sameattention in this direction as he wouldin the summer.Another remedy, and vety effective.

Is to eqtrip your car with a dash-prim-

ing device. Just before attempting to

start the car. inject considerable gaso-

line into the cylinder and thereby in-

crease' the possibilities .of the mixture

firing quickly. These are but a fewsuggestions for the winter motorist,

but if they are followed much of theannovances so often encountered will

be eliminated.

Avoid Overloading.

Many motor truck owners have the

Idea that there is no limit to the abil-

ity of a solid tire to bear loads, ando pOe their cars high with "cargo"without, any regard for their tires.

Solid tires, however, are as cehsitive

to overloading as pneumatics, and thehead of the motor tire department of

a large company sounds a warning of

that tire abuse. "The Immediate re-

sult of overloading a solid tire," hesays, "is the appearance of a bulge,

called a 'traction ware.' in the rubberJoat In ftont of the poitit of contactfeetwem tire and street. This wavewith the enormooe weight back of it,

works through to the very base of thetire. No tires are made of pure rub-

ber. The gum must be compoundedwith chemicals to give the desiredwear-resisting gtialities. The traction

wwre lessens the cohesive power of- ttm eompoulM^ and if not guardedilgalnat, eTentoally will tear the tire

away from the steel rim. Not onlydoes the wave ruin the tire, but it also

affects the truck as though it were go-

ing ap hill, involving • constant loss of

^wer."

Idea Is to Give Help to Old Timers in

Automobile Field Who MayBe in Need.

The plan in Detroit for the forma-tion of a benevolent society of veter-ans of the automobile industry hasprogressed. This organization will beformed to keep track of the old timersIn the antomobile business, and alsoto look after the Interests of theirfamilies in times of need. Of lateseveral old timers in the motor carfield have met with misfortunes, ac-cident, sickness and the like and intheir time of need have been in realwant. In other instances old timershave dropped away, leaving theirfamUes In dire straits.

It Is the idea of the men who haveerolved the general plan of the be-nevolent society to maintain a cen-tral office in Detroit, and temporaryheadquarters of the organization havebeen placed in charge of F. Ed Spoon-er. 903 FVee Press buflding, DetroitEngland has an organization along

somewhat similar lines which is doinga vast amount of good. There wassome talk of an organized body at thetime Pat Hussey of Cleveland, one ofthe most prominent of the old timers,became suddenly blind. This wasabout two years ago and liberal spiritsin the^^lkftlinobile world raised a fundso large for his relief that he will

live comfoitably for the rest of hisdays upon the income from the fund.This action of the few broughtthoughts of the probable results werethe entire field of veterans of five

yiears or more standing in the field tobe banded together into one compactbody for mutual benefit, and thatthought has been uppermost In theminds of many until it has finally crys-

tallized Into definite fmin.{

SELECT THE BREEDERS EARLY

By Visiting Henfiouae rOccasionallyand Banding Pullets t'ound to Be

Laying Is Excellent.

<Bjr W.. E. VAPLON, Poultryman. Colo-rado Agricultural College.)

It is not too early to select the hensyou intend using next season as breed-ers. It will be too late about the timeyou are ready to set the first eggs if

raising early and productive stock is

your object Then ypo will not knowwhich pullets matured quickly^ andlaid early and persistently, nor thehens that hurried through the moltand came back to business quickly;now is the time to select these.

Visit the henhouse occasionally andband the pullets found to be laying;you will soon learn to Imow those

White Roek Hen.

that lay often without looking at their

band numbers; these should he usedas breeders next season.

Don't wait until hatching time to

sell your surplus poultry; do it now

—

all the old hens and all but a few of

the best males. As these mature andshow their good points cull again, re-

serring only enough to head a choicepen of the best-lajrlng hens and pul-

lets. Build a small colony house on2x3 runners and haul It out Into theorchard, fencing it in. Fifteen to 25hens kept here will lay more eggsdaring the hatching season than theaverage farmer's wife will know whatto do with.

KILLING THE POULTRY LICE

Hiding Places for Verniin In N«stsand Houses Should Be Cleaned

Out^fteeipe for Powder.

One of the best ways to fight lice

on poultry is to keep the nests androosts clear of hiding places for them.Thus it is wise to have all the build-

ings just as simple as possible. Fre-

quently, however, lice will bother nomatter how well the place is. keptcleaned up, and it is necessary to dustthe birds with powder. Here is agood insect powder used at the NewYork experiment station:

Mix three parts of gasoline withone part of crude carlwlic acid of 95per cent, strength—one part of cresdl

will do, if the acid Is- not available—and gradtially add. with stirring,

enough plaster of parts to make, whenthe liquid is uniformly mixed, a dry.pinkish-brown powder having a fairly

strong carbolic odor and a rather less

pronounced gasoline odor. As a gen-eral rule, it takes about four quwts ofplaster of paiis to one quart of theliquid.

In using this powder on the birds.

remember that the eggs are not killed

by one dusting, and as these probablyare present at the time of the appli-

cation, more than one dusting, shouldbe given. Repeat the applications

once or twice, at Intervals of fromfour days to a week.

^ For a spray to be applied to nestsand roosting places to. kill the Insects,

mix three parts of kerosene to onepart of crude carbolic acid of 95 percent, strength. Stir this mixture be-

fore it Is used. It also may be usedas a paint as well as a spray.

LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 8.

DARKNESS AND LIGHT.

LESSON TEXT-Luke U:14-26. 33-36.GOLDEN TEXT — "Look therefoTB

whether the liRht that Is In th^ b<B notdarkness." Luke 11:35.

I. The Accusation Qrr. 14-16.) Thefact of demonology as revealed in theNew Testament records is herestrongly emphasized.. Th^ existence,

their malignity, their evil powers,their relation to the devil, and yet

their subjection to our Lord, is all

clearly set before us. The devil hadso taken possession of this man that

he could not speak, yet a word fromJesus, and the dumb spake. That heshould have such power caused thepeople to 'bonder" (t. 14). His mir-

acles were for one principal reason

(John 5:36). Matthew tells us (12:23)

that In this case tiiey asked the ques-

tion: "Is this the Son of David," e. g.,

tha promised Messiah? The recorddoes not, however, indicate that they

believed on him—were converted.

They knew ^hat had been prophesiedabout the Coming One (Isa. 29:18,

32:3, 4), yet they hesitated to comeout on his side. Into the midst of

their controversy (v. 15, Matt. 12:24;

Mark 3:22) the Scribes and Pharisees

projected themselves. They hadcome down from Jerusalem seeking,"that they might accuse him" (John

19:35, 36). It is ever thus that thedevil seeks to divert

i

Convincing Logic.

II. The Defense (vv. 17-20). "Buthe, knowing their thoughts." Evident-

ly they dared not openly to make their

accusations. They would not acceptthe natural and true explanation.

Jestu endured this contradition andthese charges for us (Isa. 53:3, 4),

and must not his disciples expect alike treatment? (Matt 10:25). Withconvincing logic Jesus reveals their

motive (v. 16) and demonstrates theuntenable position and conclusionwhich resulted from their own charge.

Satan is not fighting himself. A king

neyer^aendB an army against his ownsolUers. but against those of his en-

emy. -Therefore, out of their own ac-

knowledgement that the devils werecast out. he proves that the kingdomof God has come upon them. Such anaccusation (v. 15) was to ^esus an ev-

idence of the depravity of their hearts.

There is keen sarcasm in the answerhe demanded from them (v. 19). Evi-

dently they, too, had had power overdemonfl, and it Is easy to see the di-

lemma Into which he led them. Thisis not the only time that Jesus con-

victed men out of their own testt

mony (Matt 21:25).

III. The Application (vv. 21-26).

With a true teacbsr's skill Jesusdrives home the trath brooght ont Inthe preceding paragra^ Satan Is m"strcm^man," but he, Jesus, is strong-

er. He has power to overcome and totake from the strong man bis armor(defense), and his spoil, and to bind

him fast (v. 22; Mark 3:27; Rev.20:2). Those bound by chains of sin

are the spoil of Satan, and. Jesus is

the only one poweMol enonn^ to

—

—break the power of canceled sinAnd set the prisoner free.

Cleanse the "Palace."With Christ there must be entire

possession; there can be no neutrality

(V. 23). We cannot belong to Christand be a sIsTe to Botan, to mammon,to self, or even to others whom wemay love. The persistence of evil is

here indicated. Unclean spirits areever seeking a habitation. Thereforeit is not enough for a man to becleansed, his dwelling must be occu-pied, and if the Holy Spirit does nottake possession, the evil one will. Theparable that follows (w. 24-26)

teaches this truth negatively. In ontf"

case Satan is dislodged by Christ, hefinds the "palace" (v. 22) (man) to

be pre-occupied. In this case the pal-

ace is empty (Matt 12:44). The ab-sence of a positive attachment, too, orpossession by, Jesus Christ involveshostility to him. This picture Is that•f the reformed man, not of the re-

generated man. This latter has hisplace pr&occupied. and the returningspirit can find no place of abode. Un-less, however, such be the' case, thelatter ehd of that man is far worsethan his first state; witness the gold-

cured Intemperate men who return totheir cups (2 Pet 2:22); they returnbecause they have no strong dsfenderto drive <^ the retnml&g enemy.This application and principle herepropounded may, and does, accountfor most of the back-sliding after manyof the so-called conversions, viz., that

the germ of character has not beengenerated (John 3:7). It is by far

the most difficult proposition InChristian work to reach one wha lathus gospel hardened.

TV. TheHlttstratlon (vr. 33-36). Inhis teaching. Jesus constantly tised fa-

miliar objects as illustrations. Theincongruity uf placing a candle undera bushel measure rather than in Its

rightful place that it may conspien-ously perform its proper function is atonce apparent Jesus Is the Ufidlit

(John 7:17; 8:12), so also Is theChristian. They are to he so set be-

fore men that, seeing CHirist reflected

in them, they will glorify the Fatherwho sent him. This Is th&t which is

used by Qod in redeeming, transform*ing and ennobilttt' eaitk's sinful <ddl'

GOOD ADVICE OF LEADING STOCK RAISER

A Fine Farm Team.

A leading stock raiser of Illinois

advises all ywrng men to "get afarm." In the coarse of hia remaricsthis farmer said:

"I believe the hest results in agri-

culture will eventually be worked ou{on small farms. On large farms, wemust work at arm's length and cannotdo as well as we know how to do for

we must work through other men;and the men who work on large farmsare not men who are brainy, shrewdand improving—they are not of this

type. I have had an idealiately—^the

first I nave for four or five years—if

a man has an idea that is really worthwhile, even once in four or five years,

be will be doing well.

"The farmer is the one who oughtto be surest of all the necessities andcomforts of life, and safest from all

changes, panics, hard times and othervicissitudes. In the farm home, chil-

dren can be better bred, better fed andbetter prepared for the struggle of

life.

"It seems to ine that we, as farmers,are not getting the most out of ourfarm life. Combinations and trusts

are impossible, butjt is better so; for

while those in combines and trusts

may be safe against those on the out-

HOW TO HAVE GOOD ORCHARD

Trees Should Be Set in Uniform Ro>M,

Far Enough Apart to PermU Cul-

tfvaCion and Fertilisation.

Apple trees should be set 30 to 40

feet apart in uniform rows to facili-

tate cultivation, and keep well Culti-

vated and fertilized, says a writer in

the Progressive Farmer. Peach,

plum and pear trees 20 to 30 feet

apart. A shovelful of wood ashes at

the root of each tree will keep Insects

out of the roots, and are fine fertiliz-

ers. Peach trees can be set betwe ^n

the apple trees in the rows and taken

out when the apple trees -are 8 td

12 years <dd and need the space, as

the peach Is mainly short lived.

I keep all my plow land In winter

crops, crimson clover, rye, wheat andvetch, oats and barley, etc., to con-

serve the moisture and humus and

prevent washing the orchard.

It is useless to plant apple trees

near (one-eighth mQe of) cedas trees.

The cedar throws off a spore that

falls on apple trees and produces rustPlant orchards. Nothing on a farm

will pay better than fruit, if planted

and cared for right. Nothing is morehelpful to our families; nothing moreso for our pockets. It is not a game of

chance; if played right, it surely wins,

but is a failure If ne^ected.No one now expects to raise good

crops of com, cane or cotton, except

on land well prepared, well fertilized

and well cultivate*!. They usually

stick a fruit tree in the ground and

leave. It to live or die as chance maydirect; cultivate only when they wantto raise another crop on the land. Nocrop pays better for ealtnre ond care,

and fruit crops never pay In the long

run without intelligent care.

PROPER GROWTH OF ALFALFA

Select ProdueUve, Well-Drained Soil,

Cultivate Intelligently and GiveAnnual Top Dress.

Alfalfa can be grown successfully

where the owner of the farm seleots

productive, naturally well-drained soil,

heavjly limes, liberally fertilizes with

phosphorous and potassium, Int^i-

gently cultivates and prepares for anideal seed bed, carefully inoculates

with bacteria-infested soil, seeds at

the proper time with good seed, and,

last of all, annually top-dresses with a

mineral mixture of commercial fertil-

izer containing phosphorous and po-

tassium. Thus, with due discretion

and Judgment regarding the cutting,

curing, storing and feeding of the

crop, the farmer and his live stock will

not only be benefited by an increase in

dollars and cents, but also himself andhis family will take pleasure in admir-

ing throughout the entire season Its

general beauty, and at the same time

he will be adding ferUUty to the soil.

Cause of Roup.It is a noted fact that where roup

has become epidemic among fowls

they were crowded In tightly built

houses when the weather was verycold and these houses allowed to re-

msin closed all the next day. Thiscreates a mixture which generates

dafoipness and the house becomes asalt

side, they are not safe against eachother.

"The farmer has. however, becomemore or less imbued w^ the spirtt

of commercialism—with the idea offarming solely for money. He raises

big crops of com, oats or feeds manycattle to sell. And he sells them at

the other fellow's prices, hurries themon a glutted market and then turnsaround and buys many things that hecould have easily produced on his ownfarm, at the other fellow's prices. Inthis way he puts himself In the en-

emy's hands twice—once Nrhen hesells and once when he buys.

He himself had before contrib-uted to the problem as the soldierleader in Khartum, the conqueror ofthe Khalifa, sweeping out of the Su-dan tbe fanatical dervishes, nor did hearrive one moment too ation to arrestthe tide that was surely carryingligypt backward from the high andsaperb statesmanship oi Lord Cro-mer's regime.The presence of an Iron hand was

' Consumption of Grasshoppers Far Out-

weighs Harm Done to Other Birds

and Beetles—Capable of

Doing Much Good.

(By F. E. L. BKAL.)The southern butdher bird in some

of its numerous fomis, is found overmuch of the United States, and is

especially common on the Pacific

coast. All the forms retire southwardat the approach of winter and in

many localities are replaced during

the cold season by the northern

butcher bird, which comes down fromthe north, and winters in the UnitedStates. •

Tlje bather bird resembles a birdof prey in form of beak and to a cer-

tain extent in food habits, but it

has no talons such as enable the true

birds of prey to seize their victimand hold it while tearing it to pieces.

For the investigation of the food of

the southern butcher bird 124 stom-achs of the western sul>-8pecie8 wei-e

examined and 88 of the eastern. Thewestern bird showed 2.5 per cent of

vegetable substances in their stomachsbut the eastern ones contained noth-

ing but animal matter. The animalportion of the food of western butcherbirds consists of 83 per cent, spiders

Years Ago to Suppress All Need-

New York.—That movement to sup-press unnecessary noise which Mrs.Isaac L. Rice began in this town eightyears ago has now extended to foreign

countries, and the suppression of un-

necessary noise has been added to

says the Evening Post. Three yearsago Prof. Theodore Leasing of Han-over, through the efforts oi Mrs. IsaacL. Rice, the founder of the Society forthe Suppression of Unnecessary Noisehas been added to the band, the first

organization of its kind in Germany.Today there are 39 local societies scat-

tered throughout that country, andProfessor Lessing, who is in constantcommunication with Mrs. Rice, reiiorts

the movement is steadily growing.In England practically nothing had

WED AT COFFIN OF MOTHERChicago Couple Carry Out Woman's

Last Dying Wish—Funeral aWedding Trip.

Chicago.—^The most xirgent requestof the late Mrs. Peter Peterson, 1422ESast Seventieth street, to her son.

Christ Peterson, during her final yearswas that he get married before herdeath.

"If not before I die, then at least be-

fore I am buried." she told him.Tbe son was in no hurry, and not

thinking there was any likelihood of

his mother dying soon, he kept puttingIt off. Perhaps one factor in the post-

ponement was the hesitating attitude

of tbe girl of his choice. Miss HannahJensen, 6838 Adams avenue.But on last Saturday Mrs. Peterson

while visiting a neighbor was stricken

with apoplexy.Young Peterson rememl>ered the

last wisb Ida motiier bad expressed.

He telephoned Miss Jensen and ob-

tained her consent, then telephonedthe license clerk and discovered it wastoo late to get a marriage license.

The Rev. William Steinmeyer, pas-

tor of tbe Zion Lutheran church, wasasked to ofliciate.

On Tuesday the minister was tele-

phoned again and asked to appear atew minutes before the time set for

the funeral lerviee. He was csscorted

into the room where the casket lay.At the head of tbe coffin in deepmourning stood young Peterson andMiss Jensen hand in hiand.

Some one whispered the circum-stances to the shocked clergyman, andafter he had regained his composurehe marched forward, forgot the funer-al service temporarily, and united thecouple in marriage.

Mr., and .Mrs. Peterson took theirpUices with the other mourners andthe funeral proceeded. They went tothe cemetery, watched the burial, andreturned to the house. That was theironly wedding trip. Peterson said philo-

sophically.

Through the association In NewYork all unnecessary noise has beenregulated in hospital zones, and night,with "Its great gift of sleep," is nolonger a menace to the patient. Schoolzones, too, though they do not rejoicein primeval quiet, are no longer besetby the noisy pests which once destroy-ed the nerves of teachers and madereal work for the children difficult

Mrs. Rice feds, however, that thegreatest work of the association hasbeen done in promoting and populariz-ing the sane Fourth throughout thecountry. There is still a great chanceto extend this branch of the work,and an effort is being made to con-vince the schoo! children, not only ofthe danger of the firecracker, but ofthe pleasures to be derived from thenew method, of celebrating.

Statistics show that Ih 1908 therewere 5,623 casualties resulting fromthe efforts of Young America to cele-

tebrates I2 per cent. Tbe stomachsof the eastern forms show GS percent., spiders 4 per cent., and verte-

brates 28 per cent.

The difference is undoubtedly dueto climate, the western bird beingable to find insects all the year round,while the eastern one gets very fewduring the winter. ,

While the southern butcher birdeats a few birds and some usefulinsects, its diet is on the whole verymuch in its favor, as the consumptionof grasshoppers far outweighs theharm to birds and beetles. As afeature of the landscape, and as lend-ing animation to ruinai scenes, theshrike; 'or butcher bird, in Californiais a pronounced success, and, whilenot BO numerous in the east, it is just

as attractive and is doing the samegood by ita food habits.

With good cows, good food, goodstables, all profits can be v, iped out byan ignorant or cruel stable man.There may be occasional bad luck

in the dairy business, but it almost in-

variably follows bad management.An exposed or an abused cow will

give less milk, and that milk of apoorer quality, than one well caredfor.

It is a well known fact that thecow that makes the largest profit Is

FEEOiNO AND CARE OF GEESE

One of the Cheapest and Easiest of

Ail Domestic Fowls to Raise

—

Method of Management.

Geese are one of the choapest andeasiest of all domestic fowls to raise,

says the Farm and Fireside. They re-

quire littie shelter at any time, and 1

if .given plenty pf pasture, ^riU gatherthe largest portion of theii^ food fromthe fields. They are very easily andquickly fattened for market and bring

very good prices. This is the meth-od for managing breeding and marketgeese: Never mate over two femalesto each gander. Never use females*

less than two or ganders over fouryears of age. They are allowed to

rim in a pasture where they haveplenty of grass to eat and water to

swim In. In winter and during thelaying season feed" them lightly the

following ration: Bran, four parts;

shorts, two parts; cornmeal, one part;

and in v.inter cut clover, steamed,four parts, is added. A goose will lay

30 to 40 eggs in a season, if she is

allowed to sit. The eggs require 3i)

days for incubation, and invariablynatch welL

Goslings are removed from the in-

cubators as soon as dry, and placedin brooders where the heat for thefirst 24 hours is 90 degrees. After the

first 24 hours the heat is reduceddaily until the goslings are ten to fit-

teen days old. Beginning tbe third

morning after hatching the goslings

are fed as' follows, tour times 'daily,

\]y measure: Bran, one part; rolled

oats, one part; cornmeal shorts, onepart. This mixture is dampened withBkim milk until it will crumble. Grass,grit, and drinking water are alwaysbefore them.Water is given in fountains, so they

cannot get into it They are fed asmentioned until. they are eight weeksold, when those for market areclosely confined to be rattened, andfed as follows, three times daily, all

they will eat: Bran, two parts;

shorts, one part; oil meal and beefscraps, one part; cornmeal, one part,

FEEDING SILAGE IN SUMMER

Missouri Expert Says It Is CheaperThan Blue Grass Pasture—Forma-

tion of Good Dairy Cow.

Dean Mumfoi-d of the Missouri col-

lege of agriculture makes the state-

ment that cows can be maintainedmore cheaply on silage than they canbe carried through the summer onblue-grass pasture where the landcosts about $100 per acre and is suit-

able for growing com.He says that there is very little

pasture land where a cow and a calf

can be pastured on less than one andone-half acres, but it is taitirely pos-

sible to set twelve and one-liall" td

twenty lona of .silage from one acre.

A cow and her calf can be carried

through the summer on two poundsof clover hay and thirty-five poundsof .silage per day as w^ or better

The good dairy cow has a. broadforehead, indicating intelligence and akindly disposition. She has a shortthin neck not at all beefy, in whichveins are plainly manifest.' She Is

narrow through the front shouldersand thick chested, indicating goodlung capacity.

She has a larg-?, well roundedstomach, showing capacity for stor-

age of food and water, from whichmilk is to be manufactured. She hasbroad hips and a good width throughthe fianks. giving plenty of room of

hicteal organs. There is also a gentleincline from her shoulders to herrump. The udder is large and soft,

hanging down well between her hindlegs and extending forward and back-ward in a well balanced proportion.Her legs are short and her hair te aglossy color.

the shells of the eggs become thin.

When being laid these soft-shelled

Tact has beendescribed as tbeart of putting ourReives in anoth-

work of imagination, and if wrhave little or nbimagination wemay know theii

needs and so sup-

ply them, thf"ii

purposes and m.

persuade thr-ni

their prejudlceb

and so conciliate

them.To do this suc-

cessfully we must study the condi-

tion of those whom we would help,

and imagine how we should think andfeel if we were in their conditloc. If

we have had any experience in their

line of work, it will help us. If not.

we can sometimes acquire the requir-

ite knowledge by reading. WhenBishop Whittip was called to a mis-sion near the railroad yards he askedan engineer how to reach the railroad

operatives. The answer was, "Read'Lardiier's Railroad Economy' until

you are able to ask a question of anengineer and not make him think youare a fool." He won tbe hearts ofthe first group of railroad men he ad-

dressed by asking them whether theypreferred inside or outside cocnfc-tions. When hf! had done dlscuflsin?

and every man came the next Sun-day.

It is not wise usually to talk to peo-

ple about their relation to Christ in

the presence of others. It embarrr.sse-and it may anger them; However, :)i;<

can often tell an appropriate story a.nri

thus indirectly accomplish the tvinn

end without giving offense. Dr. Tal-

Tbe writer was once working at acountry fair. 1q firoat of the platformprovided for the singers and speakersa large number of seats had beenplaced tor the a'.idlence. We had anorgan, a chorus, and three lirge meguphones. The latter would carry tht

sound of the singing half a mile, andpeople on the race course were booudrawn away by the new attraction. Atfirst the people stood aloof from theseats and refused to occupy them.They had never seen a religious sserv-

recting them to- scatter about In thfSeats. As soon as tbe crowd saw thatthere were no explosives under thechairs, they crowded in and. filled

them. Then,the leader recalled the

singers to the platform, having usedthem as decoys to allure the peopleinto the chairs. There Vas no deception about this. The people were timid and suspicious, and it was necessary to sliow them that there wasnothing to be afraid of, and to fill

enough of the seats so tlmt they Wouldnot make themselves conspicuous b>sitting down.

Paul says: "I am become all thinghvto all men, that I may by all meanssave some. Though he was entitledto a support, yet he worked with hisown hands making tent cloth bynight, iu order that he might not be aburden to the churches, and that hemight set an example of generosity toother believers. In this way also hodoubtless pained the sympathy and re-

spect of other laboring men. On oneoccasion when li.- had been arrestedat Jerusalem and was being carriedoff to prison, he asked the privilege ofaddressing the crowd. To the surpriseof the people who supposed him to bea mischief making foreigner, he began by saying that he was a Jew, andaddressed them it their own language.By this tactful Introduction he gainedtheir attention and h^ld It while hetold them the wonderful ;9tory of hisconversion.

If we are cottscioaa^ «-iaek of tactlet us ask for it t^'ii^^ljftomBe is.

"My God shall supply an~y6ur need."Tlie basis of true tact is a love whichshrinks from putting another in anembarrassing situation, and thlinhould always be remembered Ui deal-ing with inquirers. True love is alsoblind to many little faults, but so eag-er for one's salvatioit that it missesno good opportunity of pressing homehifl urgi^int need of a Savior, and theSftvior's Bupi^me love for him. .

Four bo>s who were members ofthe same country school had readabout how the soil had been formedby glaciers; they had Been the soil onthe hillside tana gradually remoredby tiny streams.and deposited on thenearby level farm.They bad noticed the effects of

freezing and thawing on high banksand the sides of the ditches. Butthere were some facts about soils thatwhich they knew only by what theyread. Kach one resolved to contrib-

aponge, will bold only a certain quan-tity of v.ater.

Do you suppose that they concludedthat tile drains should be made shal-

low or deep? What do you supposethey learned about soils 2iaving gravel

or sand subsoils?

The ne^ veek, these boys came to

school with smAl strips of litmus pa-per, which they purchased for live

cents at the drug store, some clean

saucers, and some samples of soil ta-

ken from different places.

One touched some vinegar (acid)

with the litmus pi^r to see whatchange would be made In its color;

one touched some lemon juice; anoth-er placed a piece against a raw piec<r

"of tomato. Tlien they touched somedampened soda, wood asbes, and lime.

These they found to be alkaliJie; thaiis they acted much like lye.

They learned that by carefully mix-

ing a little lime water and . vinegarno change in the color olt the litmuspaper would be made. They bad readthat such a substance was said to b6neutral. They learned that the cis-

tern water was neutral.

The samples of soil were separate-

ly mixed with rain water to a stiff

mud, and a piece of litmus paperpushed Into each and allowed to re-

main 'two or three minutes.Three found that their papers were

darkened from being wet. but thatthere were uo marked changes In thecolor. The soils tested therefore witoueutral.

One boy found his paper luraed abrickish red. That was decided to bean acid or sour soli. It was learnedthat it needed draining or limiqg. orperhaps both, to neutralize It.

The most Impressive lesson theseboys learned was from what they did,

rather than what they read. Whatthese four boys did any other boys of

the upper elementary grades in anyschool can .do.

tom of each chimney they lillfed onewith very black soil (humus), onewith clay, one with loam, and onewith sand (each containing the sameamount of soil); to the upper part of

each chimney they tied strings whichserved as bails through w^hich to runa broomstick.Each end of the broomstick rested

on the scat of a desk. The pans wereplaced beneath the chimneys. At thesame tlme„ exactly the same quantityof water was poured on the soil in

water ran most quickly?

Which was the last to permit it to

-nm through?Which one held the most water?'Which one retained the least wa-

ter?

On another day, they filled the samechimneys with the same kinds of soil,

—humus, clay, loam, and sand,—andset each one on two small cblps onthe bottom of the flat pans.

Instead of pouring the water Into

the chimneys, they poured the samequantity into each pan. They did this

to learn from iht- experiment whichsoil would allow water to arise mostrapidly. Through which do you think

It rose most rapidly?

The next Friday morning, each boyhad s common tfaerinometer and agood sized tin can. Into each can wasplaced the same kind of soil. In the

center of each of two cans ilie ther-

mometers were placed deep enoughto allow the freezing point to.be just

above tlie soil; in the other two they

were -deep enough to allow them to

remain upright.

At the lir>;t recess, the temperatureof each was read and noted. Into the

At another time they punched holes

USE OF THE LiniE MEATLESS BROODERSFOUND TO BE FAR THE MOST SATISFACTORY

Brown Leghorn Cockerel.

Where one has so small a flock-^OTeven with larger^ ones—the greatestprofit is made by keeping the henslaying as much as possible. For this

reason, even where the chicks arehatched by hens, the use of the little

heatless brooders ^ wIU be found themost satisfactory way of caring for

the little chicks. They.'can be takendirectly from the hens or the incuba-tor, and given over to the care of the

brooder, with no fear of accident.^

The brooder should be providedwith a run, where the chicks can get

out in the fresh air and sunshine. Aframe three by six feet, and threefeet high, covered on top and sides

with poultry netting. Is very good, asit can easily be moved from place to

place. A little door in one end, againstwhich the door of the brooder can beset, allows the chicks to go back andforth as they wish.The great merit of this simple outfit

is that it coats very little. Is quicklymade, and can easily be kept clean.

Any boy can make all the broodersand runs he will need in a very shorttime, and do it before the seasonopens.

The baby chick, for the first five

days of its life. Is a very tender thing.If It Is to grow into hardy fowlhood,it must have the right kind of feedand care at the critical time. It doesnot need very much feed, aod not .agreat deal of care, but what it doesget must be of the proper kind.

The chick should not be fed untilIt is from thirty to forty-eight hoursold. There is a great difference inchicks, and the only way to tell justwhen to begin feeding is to watchand see when they begin to pick hun-grily at things. "When they appear ea-ger for food, it should be giveb to them,but even then very sparingly at firstThe reason for not feeding them

sooner is this: The yolk of the eggIs the last part to be absorbed Intothe chick's body before hatching, andit furnishes nourishment enough tolast for some time. The yolk worksupward through the digestive tract,

and If food Is given that must workdownward, mischief is sure to resultThen, too, the yolk has in it the rightkind of nutriment to put the systeminto proper condition to digest othei;food. Nothing else would cleanse andregulate the digestive organs so well.

as anything you can make. It shouldconsist of a variety of seeds andgrains cracked fine enough so theycan readily pick them up. Besidesthis, they will ueed plenty of water,grit and bran where they can get to it

all the Ume. Mix a UtUe poundedcharcoal with the bran, to keep thedigestive organs sweet, and preventfermentation.Do not "fusB" with the chicks. See

that they are clean, drj". have plentyof feed and water, and let them go.

Handling is bad for a fowl at any age,but especially for the tender babies.The feed should be given in a deep

Utter of chaff. It is as natural fora chick to scratch as it is to eat.

The exercise they, get in digging outthe grains is worth as much as theI'eed itself.

Never give any moKst food. It is

likely to cause bowel trouble. Drygrains make the natural food of anyfeathered fowl, and they will take Inwhat moisture the system demandsIf water is left where they can getto It. Grit is, of course, a neces-sity for grindiuf; it. and must be fur-

nished right from the start.

When the feathers begin to start,

the chicks will need a little extranourishment and of a different kind.They must have a certain amount ofanimal or meat food. Where they arein a wild state they /provide them-sdVes with btigs and worms, but thedomestic fowl must have this fur-

nished.

The best thing to give for supply-ing this element is milk. It may f>egiven either sweet or sour, but forthe small chicks the sweet milk is

best If this la not to be had, givea small allowance of beef-scrap,watching the bowels to see that theydo not get too loose.

Feather-making is a great draftupon the system, and must be met, orthe chiclu will weaken and die.

Plenty of the right kind of food, ex-ercise, cleanliness and fresh air are'the great taetora In success withyoung chicks. If these principles arekept in mind, you should have little

to fear from disease.

To give it other things to eat at this

time would upset the whole plan of na-ture, and retard, instead of promote,the chick's growth.The first food of the little chick

should be oatmeal—the steel-cut, if

you can get it, and that is not to

be had. the ordinary rolled oats -will

do if well crumbled in the^ hands.This should be given about every twohours for a day or two, graduallylengthening the time between feedsuntil they get it three times a day.Put a shallow dish of clean waterwhere they can get It. If they Rantto walk through it, turn a teacup bot-

tom side up in the middle of thedish.

For the first two or three days theywill want to sleep and, rest much ofthe time, and will nearly, live in thebrooder. After that they will be readyto begin active operations. They will

now want to be let loose in the runfbr moat of the day, if it can be set

where It Is warm. Leave the brood-er where they can go into it whenthey get chilly.

SPRAYING POTATOES

FOR BEST RESULTS

Treatment ShoultJ Begin WhenPlants are Ten Inches High

and Repeated Often.

(By \V. M. KELJ.ET.)As a general rule better results will

be obtained if the spraying Is begunwhen the potato plants are from eightto ten Inches high and the treatmentrepeated at intervals of from ten tofourteen days in order to keep theplants well covered with the bordeauithroughout the season.

When the blight is in evidence it

may be necessary to spray oftenerUsually from four to six applicationswill produ^ the beet results.

The bordeaux should contain six

pounds of copper sulphate to each 60galldns. When bugs are plentiful andtwo pounds of parts green or twoquarts of arsenate of soda stock solution to the quantity of the bordeauxraixture required to spray an acre.The application should be thorough,

especially at times when the bug& arenumerous or when the weather Is fa-

vorable' to blight As a general ralefrequent light applications will pro-duce better retinlts than heavier ap-plications at long intervals.

Those who depend upon three ap-plications will obtain better resultsduring most seasons if they delay thefirst spraying until there is clanger ofthe vines being injured by bugs orfiea beetles and then make a thor-

ough appllcktion of the bordeaux andthe poison.

The following spraying shooild alsobe thorough and applied at such timesas to keep the foliage protected dui«

ing the whole of the growing aeason.Hy esperience teaches me that if

we obtain satiafsictory results, wemust not wait for the bllgl^'t to ap-pear ' before we begin spraying andthat it does not pay ijo apply poisonalone for bugs. When we are fighting

bugs it will cost but a little additional

I

to use bordeaux and the poison t»jgether. •

FOR SPIRITUAL LIFE

Beautiful Words of David Should

Find Echo in the Hearts ot

Ail Christians.

Any one who reads the Book of

Psalms reverently surely must be im-pressed by two things. First, thespirit of prayer which pervades them;and. secondly, their great aipiritual-

Ity.

The spirit of prayer which pos-

sessed the heart of David, broughthim, without a doubt, into a more in-

timate relationship with, and gavehim a better knowledge of God. thanany man, excepting Jesus Christ, everenjoyed.

So great was David's experiencethat even today, the world loves to

listen to liis beautiful words of tes-

timony. We love to listen while hesa.vs with so much feeling: "TheLord is my work and mg fortress andmy deliverer." "My buckler and thehorn of my salvation,^and my hightower." "The Lord is my stay." "Heshall hide iiie in his pavilion; in thesecret of bin tabernacle, shall he hideme." " He shall set me upon a rock."

"When my father and mother forsakeme, the Lord will take me up." "Thouhast been a shelter and a strong tow-er from the enemy. I will trust in thecovert ot thy wings." "The Lord Is

my shepherd." What wonderful wordsare these. They show to us that Qodwas a living, potent factor in the life

of David. In the hour of darkness,when sorrow came, when doublingscame, he could raise his eyes heaven-ward and cry out: "The Lard is mylight and salvation; whom shall I

fear?" What the sunlight Is to all

natural life, God was to David In his

spiritual life. Absolutely essential.

Take sunlight out of the world, andall natural life will shortly cease.

Take God out of tlie soul, and all

spiritual life is at once at an end.

But even with all this knowledgethe Psalmist was not satisfied.

Knowledge alone was not what hewanted. Hia desire soared above mereknowledge of God He wanted to

dwell in the house of the Lord all thedays of his life; he wanted to beholdthe wondrous beauty of the Lord.This was his one desire. His chief

thought and aim was to be, above all

things, spiritually minded. Let mewalk In poverty's vale, let me suffer

the afflictions of Job; let nie be for-

saken by all my friends, if need be.

that I may dwell in the house of the

Lord all the days of my life. Thiswas the one desire of David.But David well knew that a differ-

ent lot had been appointed him. Heknew that he would one day sit on thethrone of Israel, and go forth as their

leader and captain, to battle. Yet hewould gladly give up the royal dia-

dem and scepter, for it was not honorand power and glory that he desired,

but It was a great spiritual life.

Now, David was determined to havethis spiritual life at any cost. Hesays: "One thing have I desired:

that will I seek after. " I'll not quit,

because of discouragements, but I'll

seek on until I find that' for which 1

am looking. Oh. how often men havebecome discouraged and..gone back to

the world, the next day, or week, or

month, after they were converted, be-

cause they failed %o receive the wit-

ness of God's spirit with theirs, that

they were his children. When, if

they had gone steadily on seeking

that one thing. God would have sometime, Bom^wheiv. opened the verydoors of heaven to their soul's eyesand they could have beheld th.e beasity

of the Lord.

The spiritual life never cam« to

any man just as an unexpected gift

from God. Neither do men stumbleupon it by accident. For this life is

the "pearl of great price" which mustbe sought after diligently In prayerand meditation. He who would havethis kind of life must have the samedesire in his heart which David had.

He who would be spiritually mindedmust "dwell in the secret place of the

Most High and abide under the

shadow of the Almighty.

No man has even been greatly

spiritual who has not been a great

prayer. The world's greatest spirit-

ual leaders have been its greatest

prayers: Paul the apostle, Martin Luther, who faced Komanlsin alone;

John Wesley, who fired England with

a great revival spirit; John Knox,whose heart was breaking for Scot-

land, and .who saw her brought to

Christ in answer to his prayer, andGypsy Smith, the marvel of the twen-

tieth century. Born in a gypsy tent

In the slums of London, and raised in

abject ignorance, yet the nations ot

the world proclaim him today the

greatest evengelist of modern times.

And Gypsy Smith's one desire andprayer after his conversion was: "Oh.God, I cannot read your Bibles but fill

me with your spirit"

siliMiMl

If the Life Be RightIf the life is right with God and

man, every moment spent in true pray-

er results in the generation of divine

pow<!r; for prayer is our dynamo for

appropriating the divine electricity

that manifests Itselt hi invincible volts

of faith, hope, lore, peace, joy andpower. "Te ShaJl recede power after

that the Holy Qhoat is come uponyou." If ye, then, being evil, knowhow to give good gifts unto your chU-dren, bow much more shall your F^-

ther which is in heaven give to themthat ask him?" Whatever lack there

may be in us, or our work must be at-

tributed to Insuffldant or . deficient

praying. For "ye hsEve net because yeask not. Te a«k aod rHWive not be-

caitse ?« ask amiss."

BAN ON MODERATE DRINKING

Employers of Prominent Railway Sys-tem Prohibit Employes From

Touching Aioeholic Liquor.

The use of alcohol is receiving somehard knocks tliese days. A prominentrailway system, not contented with thegeneral rule heretofore in force on rail-

ways forbidding employes to drinkwhile on duty, now forbids emplayesto indulge at all In drinking out of em>ployment hours, or !n any othnr con-duct which will Impair their iualtli

or malic them less alert and less cap-able while on duty. The ownt-i ofore of the nation's pets—a prominentbaseball team—announced that mod-eration in drinking is not sufficient:

The players on Ms team must leavealcohol entirely alone and abondon cig-

arets. The Justification for such rules

may be found not only in the diflloully

of being moderate in indulgence, butalso in the curaulative and after-ef-

fects of dissiijJTtion. The world 1»

moving; the old fetish of "personal lib-

erty" at whatever cost of danger tothe public at large seems to be losingIts power. The time may come whenevery man to whom the lite and safetrof others are entrusted may be ex-

pected or even required to be as ab-

INTEMPERANCE AS A DISEASE

Dr. Maxmillian Grossman Declares theQuestion Is One to Be Handled

by the Doctor*.

In an address before the last In-

ternational Congress of Hygiene in

^'aahington. D. C, Dr. MaxmillianGrossman, director of the National As-sociation for the Study and Educationof Exceptional .Children, declared thatintemperance was a disease and aquestion to be handled by the doctors.

The utterance has been widely quotedin tlie liquor press as bolstering ui>

the arguments of the anti-proliibi' ion-

Ists. What all thinking, conimonsense people ask is that the manu-facture and sale of that which direct-

ly causes this disease of intemperancel>e forbidden by law. "Our nationalhealth is physically our greatest |as-

set," wrote Theodore Roosevelt, whenpresident oi' the I'lilted States, "Toprevent any jjOi^Kiblt deterionuiKii of

the .American t-tock should be a na-

tional anibiticu. Tlie preservation of

national vigor .should be a matter of

patriotism."

The alcohol question is therefore anational issue.

WHAT HIS FAMILY RECEIVED

In Making Temperance Speech Eng-lish Workingman Makes Startling

Illustration With Bread.

In Manchester, England, a working-man was making a temperance speech.

He held in his hands a knife and also

a loaf of bread. Drawing the knifeacross the loaf and taking off a slice

of moderate size, he said, "This i»

what you gi\e to the city govern-

ment." He made another and ]ar.t;"r

section, and added, "And this U whatyou give to the general government.

"

I^e now made a tremendous slash

with his knife that cut away a quan-tity of bread equal to three-quartere

of tho entire loaf. "This," he said,

you give to the brewiM'." The rem-nant after all this arni>utatiori wasonly a iliin idice. The larger fraction

of this h<^ allotted to the public-house,

and of the few crumbs left he said.

"And this you keep to support your-

self and your family." The drunk-

ard's children know this well.

What Is Wanted.What the temperance men want is

not the regtilation of the liquor trathc.

but its destruction; not that its de-

struction; not its evils should be cir-

cumscribed (idle fancy), but that theyshould, to the full extent of tho,

Ktat.^'s ability, be utterly eradicated.

and it would be good for not ling if

it could. Stave in the heads oi the

(CONTINUED.)

Part of Plan Oppoaed.Jefferson had been In France when

Waahinston called him to asaume theheadahlp of foreign affalra at home;had not reached New York on hik re>

tarn voyage until December 23. 1789;

and did not take his place in Wasbing-ton'8 council till March 21, 1790. All

of Hamilton's great plan had by that

time passed congress, except the as-

sumption of the state debts. Uponthat qnestion a crisis had beenreached. It had wrought congress to

A dangerous heat of feeling. Mem-bers from the south, where trade wasnot much aetir and financial interests

told for less than local pride andBharp jealousy of a too great central

power, were set hotly against the

measure; most of the northern mem-bers were as hotly resolved upon Ity

adoption.

Mr. Jefferson must hare >,cansht

edioea and rumors of the great debateas he lingered at Montlcello in orderto adjust his private affairs before en-

tering upon his duties in the cabinet.

The measure had been lost at last

in the house by the narrow margin of

two votes. But the minority were in

no humor to submit. They declined to

transact any business at all till theyshould be yielded to In this matter,

liters were even ugly threats to beheard that some would withdraw fromcongress and force a dissolution of theUnion rather than make concessionsupon the one side or the other.

Jefferson's Support Won.It was to this pass that things had

come when Mr. Jefferson reached theseat of government; and his arrival

gave Hamilton,an opportunity to showhow constunmate a politician be couldbe in support of his statesmanship.The southern members wanted theseat of the federal government estab-

lished within their reach, upon the Po-tomac, where congress might at least

be rid of importunate merchants andmoney lenders clamoring at its doors,

and of impracticable Quakers withtheir petitions for the abolition of-alaTery; and were almost as hot attheir tellnre to get their will in thatmatter as the northern men were tofind (hemselves defeated upon thequestion of the state debts.

Mr. Jefferson was fresh uiKjn thefield, was strong among the southernmembers, was not embroiled or com-mitted in the- quarrel. Hamilton be-:soaght him to intervene. The succes*-of the government was at stake, h«

said, and Mr. JefFeraon could pluck

it out of peril. Might it not be that

the aonthem men would consent to

'vote tor the assumption of the state

4ebts if the northe^ members wouldv«to for a a^ital on the PotomacTThe suggestion came as it upon thethought of the moment, at a chancemeeting on the street, as the two menwalked and talked of matters of the

day; but it was very eloquently

urged. Mr. Jefferson declared he was"really a stranger to the whole sub-

ject," bat would be glad to lend whataid be conld. Would not Mr. Hamiltondine with him the next day, to meetand confer with a few of the southern

members? In the genial air of the

dinner-table the whole difficulty wastalked away. Two of the diners agreed

to vote for the assumption of the state

debts if Mr. Hamilton could secure a

majoritr for • capital on the Potomac

;

and congress presendr mUfted thebargain.

There was not a little astonishmentat the sudden clearing of the skies.

The waters did not go down at once;hints of a scandal and of the shlp-

wredc of a fair name or two wentabout the town and spread to thecountry. But congress bad Come out

of its angry tangle of factions, calmbad returned to the government, andHamilton's plan stood finished andcomplete. He had nationalized thejBOVarnment as he wished.

Jefferaon Is Chagrined.

ft was this fact that most struckthe eye of Jefferson when he had set-

tled to his work and had come to see

affairs steadily and as a whole at theseat of government. He saw Hamil-ton supreme in the cabinet and in leg-

islation—Bdt because either the presi-

dent or congress was weak, ^t be-

cause Hamilton was a master in his

. new field, and both congress and the

president had accepted his leadership.

It ebagrined Jefferson deeply to see

that he had himself assisted at Ham-ilton's triumph, bad himself made it

coinplete, indeed. He could not easily

brook sndcessful rivalry in leAd^rsUp;must have expected to find hlmsdf.not Hamilton, preferred in the coun-

sels of a Virginia president; was be-

yond measure dismayed to see theadministration already in the hands,

as It seemed, of a man Just two monthsturned of thirty-three. He began ere

long to declare that he had been"most ignorantly and Innocently madeto hold the candle" to the sharp workof the secretary of the treasury, hav-

ing been "a stranger to the circum-

stances." But It was not the circum-

stancea of which he had been ignorant;

it was the effect of what he had donevpoa Us own ..wish to play. tb« chief

role in the new government.When he came to a calm scrutiny

of the matter, he did bo<: like the as-

She was herself but "in a convales-cent state," as he said, after her ownstruggle. She was too observant still,

Opposition Is fttrong.

Strong measures bred strong opposi-

tion. When the first congress camptogether there seemed to be no par-

ties in the country. All men seemedopinion, like a province rather than

object, at every point of policy, was to

make of the provincial states of theUnion a veritable nation, independent,at any rate, and ready to be greatwhen its growth should come, and its

self-knowledge. "Bvery true friend

not to embroil ourselves with>any na-tion whatever, but to avoid their dis-

an extravagant use of constitutional

powers.There, was still a majority for the

principal measures of the admlnlstrar

tlon; but the minority had clearly be-

gun to gather force both in the votes

and in the debates. The reaction wasunmistakable. Even Madison. Wash-ington's stanch friend and Intimate

bad long-tigo come to^itim, of a nationspreading itself down the westernslopes of the mountains and over all

the broad reaches of fertile land that

looked towards the Mississippi; butto many a member of -congress fromthe quiet settlements in the east it

looked like nothing better than a wasteof men and of treasure.

Seemed Too lippericus.

The president' seemed even a little

too imperious in the business: Wouldsometimes come into the senate in notemper to brook delay in the consid-

eration wad adoption of what he pro-

posed In 'such matters. When things

went wrong through the faolt of thecommanders he had sent to the fron-

tier, he stormed In a sudden fury, as

sometimes in the old days of the war,scorning soldiers who must needsblunder and fail. The compulsion of

his will grew often a little Irksome to

the minority in congress; and the op-

position slowly pulled Itkelf togetheras the months went by to concert adefinite policy of action.

Washington saw as plainly as anyman what was taking piece. He wassensitive to the movements of opin-

ion; wished above ail things to havethe government supported by' the peo-

ple's approval; was never weary of

writing to those who nfere in a posi-

tion to know, to ask them what theyand their neighbors soberly thoughtabout the questions and policies underdebate; was never so impatient as to

run recklessly ahead Of manifest pub-lic opinion.

He knew how manytmen had beenrepelled by' the measures he bad sup-ported Hamilton in proposing; kne^that a reaction had <set in; that evento seem to repulse France and to re-

fuse her aid or sympathy, would sure-

ly strengthen it. The men who wereopposed to his fiiianrial policy werealso the nien who most loved France,now she was- mad with revolution.

They -were the men who dreaded astrong government as a direct menaceto the rights alike of individuals andof the separate states; the men whoheld a very imperative philosophy ofseparation and of revolt against anytoo great authority. If he showedhimself cold towards France, he wouldcertainly strengthen them in their

charge that thie new governmentcraved power and was Indifferent to

the guarantees of freedom.

He Acts Promptly.

But Washington's spirit was of themajestic sort that keep a great andhopeful confidence that the right viewwill . prevail; that the "standard to

TEXT— I pray thee have me excused.—l.uke 14:18.

Lei US begin

the most commonof all excuses, "I

Am Not Veryliad."

The mistakewliich this man is

making is tbat of

judging himself

by a fals* stand-

ard. The remedyis to correct his

standard. Say to

him, "It may bethat you are not

very bad in your

own estimation, or

in the opinion of

others , but let us see what God says

about you. His Word ia the only true

standard."

Open your Bible and ask him to

read aloud Romans 3:10. There is

nime righteous, no, not one. After heread it, ask blm a few questions:

"Wbose words are these which youhave read?"

"God's Words.

"

"E>oes he know the real cmiditiOnDf a man's heart?""Yes.""Does be know a man's heart bet-

ter than the man himsblf?""Probably.""Who does be say is righteous?""He says tbat there is none right-

eous."

"What, not one?"'No. not one.

"Are you an exception to this rule?"

"I suppose not."

"Then you admit that you are notreally righteottsr'

"I suppose I nlust."

Ask him to read Romant 2;!. Tlien

say to him. "Who does God say havesinned?"

"All have sinned."

"Are you an exception?**

"No.""Then you admit that yon have

sinned and come abort of the glory of

God"By this time the man is becoming

tmeaBv. He is beginning tc realize

that whatever he may be in his ownestimation, ia God's sight he Is asinner. You have withdrawn his attention from the inconsistent ehoirchmembws with whom he has fonhw^compared himself, and you have fixed

his mind upon the great dod to whomhe must give an account.

Another good verse to use with this

class is Isaiah 53:6. After the manhas read it, ask him, "Who does Qodsay has gone aetrayT'

"All of «8."

"Does that include yoa?""I suppose it does.""What does he say we have done?""We have tuned every one to hto

own way.""Then, according to God's W<lrd,"

liavlng ooe's own way is sin?""So it seems."It is well to emphasize this point

stmis^, for, to the average personthe word "sin" means some form ofvice or crime. According to this versehowever the real essence of sin con-sists in having one's own way, in-

stead of walking in God's way. It

may not i»e an immoral way, or a dis-

honest way, or an untruthful way. butit is his way and not God's way, ia

which he ought to walk.Returning to the verse you can ask.

"What do you say of a si)«ep whichhas gone astray T' -

"It is lost."

"Then if you have had your owmway through life instead of doingGod's will, yon tibo are lost, are younotr*"So it appears."

! "Admitting then. that you are a lost

sinner, what does God say titat hehas done with your slnsT'

''And the Liord hath laid on him theiniquity of us all."

"Then your sins have madc> it neeea-sary for Jesus to die on this erass?"

"Yes.""When Jesus took your place on the

cross and died for your sins, you re-

fused IX) acknowledge him as yourSaviour, did you not?"

"Yes.""And you bave never once thanked

him for what he lias done . tor you.have yon?"

"No.**

"And yet you say you are not 'Verybad. If this is not bad, will yon tell

me what is? There is onl^ one, thing

worse, and that is to contU|tne reject-

ing such a Saviour."

In dealing with self-righteous people

it is well-nigh useless to argue. Nei-

ther would It.he a rtrjt cracions thingto tell them that you thought theywere great sinners. They would not

believe It if you did. and quite likely

tiiey might retor>. "And you are an-

other."

The only effective way of dealingwith them is to bring them face to

face with God. and make them realize

that, they are dealing with Him rather

than with you.

Another way is to ask a person if

he knows that he oas committed the

greatest sin a man can commit. Hewin probably answer. "Sc. I havenot" Ask him to read Jdatthew

CAPS of many kinds may come andgo in the fashion parade, but the

breakfast cap is destined to stay onj

forever. At least that is the promisewhich its present condition of grow-ing popularity warrants one in mak-ing.

The breakfast cap has won thehearts of beaiity-loving women for sev-

eral very good reasons. No one really

wants to take time to dress the hair' for all day, the first thing in the morn-ing. And no one wants to look un-kempt at the breakfast table. Thegay and cheerful little cap coversand conceals, or else veils the hair.

Its frills about the face are becom-

Ing, and It lends variety, which is thespice of life, to the appearance of its

wearer.

A study of the caps worn by wom-en, their significance and appearance,would prove more than interesting.

They form a prominent feature in thenational costumes of many people.

Caps are so popular at present thateven the wedding veil is arrangedabout the head as a cap. For eve-

Care of the Complexion.Many people find that their com-

plexions suffer considerably from theexposure that motoring entails, butthe aijplication of a good face ;!""am

and a little fine powder before s«-tting

out will be found to be a ^re-i^ pro-

tection.

It is fatal to wash the face in eitherwarm or cold water after a long run

:

cream should again be used to Totr.oxe

all dust and a soothing lotion appliedafter the former has been carefullywiped away.Some women have a great objection

to goggles, on the plea that they areso extremely unbecoming, l(nt thewise woman will realize that thestrain on the eyes produces lines and"crowfeet," and th.Tt it is far better

to submit to a temporary less beau-

tiful appearance than to risk fmy per-

manent harm.

ALCOHOL A DECEIVER.Dr. David Starr Jordan tells the fol-

lowlug story:

Th»ire was once a man who <:iiiiie

into his office smacking his lips, andsaid to liis clerk: "The world looks

very different to the man who hashad a good glass of brandy and sodain the morning." "Tes," said theclerk, "and tbe man looks differently tothe world." .\nd this is natural andinevitable. l)r Jordan points out, for

the plea^;u^e which exists only in the

imagination leads to action which has

likewise nothing to do with the de-

mand uf life. The mind is confused,and may be delighted with the confu-

sion, but the confused muscles trem-

ple and halt. The tongue is loosenedand utters unfinished sentences; the

hand is loosened and the handwriting

is shaky: the muscles of the ey^ ar«

unharnessed, and the two eyes niovo

independently and see double: the legs

are loosened, and tbe confusion uf the

brain shows itself in the confused walk.

And if this confusion is long contin-

ued, the mental deterioration shows it-

self in external things—tbe shabbyhat and seedy clothing, and the gradual drop of the man from stratum

stratum of society, till he brings upsome night in a ditch. As the world

looks more and more different to him.

so does he look more and more differ-

ent to the world."

To Dry Lace.The most satisfactory way to dry

lace is to press it smoothly upon a

pane of glass or piece of marble, sa.v s

the Philadelphia North .^mericiui.

Place every point and scallop as it

was intended to lie and leave it until

dry. Do not iron, as the ironing' takes away tbe fresh elTect

DOCTORS AGAINST ALCOHOL.When tbat great conclave of doc-

tors took place at Brighton. England,under tbe auspices of the British Med-ical association, advantage was taken

! of the presence of bo many medical' men Ik attendance to get nearly fortj

anti-ulcoiiol addresseb delivered oi;

the Sunday in Brighton and adjoiningtowns. The subject was "Evils of .^M

oobol Upon the Human Body," andthe particularly interesting thing wasto see so many physicians in pulpitsand on tbe platforms evidently will-ing to play the part of crusadersagainst what one of their professionhad aptly described as "the greatestenemy of the race. The aggregateree-ult of these addresses constitutedan all-round indictment of alcohol ofa remarkably striking and education-al nature. As indicating the up-to-date character of the addresses, sev-eral of the doctors used charts and di

jagrams which were projected upon

;a screei: h\ laiittri:. thus transfer-ring the practice of the medical lec-^

ture ipcm to the church, chapel and*schoolroom.

BY way of variety two hats areshown here having pressed crowns

that are not covered to look soft. Thepretty sailor shape of velvet has around crown and graceful, slightly

roiling brim, all very smooth and fin-

ished looking.

Shapes of this character are blockedand covered in factories, where by ma-chinery >and steam velvet <is adjustedto the frame without a wrinkle, or atleast witiiout any that attract atten-tion. These hats are really marvflsof skill in workmanship.The trimming is of the simplest

character—a collar of fur with brushof fur standing at the front, and hav-ing an ear of velvet as its background.The velvet ia enpported by a loop ofbonnet wire inserted in it with its

base sewed to the body of the hat.This is one of - the few hats which

the home milliuer may undertake to

trim for herself. Such hats are notplentiful at present, for this is a sea-son of workroom millinery, that is,

milliii^ made In millinery shops.But when a ehape is bought readycovered and sometimes ready linedone needs only to follow the pictureiB placing such ^rimple trimming as

this hat calls for. It will not be foundhard to do.

A plush (or, as it is called now, afur-cloth I hat is shown also, and al-

though it is a pressed shape coveredwith plueh by hand, it is not beyondthe possibilities of the home milliner.There is no attempt to cover thecrown with exact smoothness, but acircle of plush is cut out and laid overthe shape and the 'fullness at the baseof the crown laid in plaits at intervalsabout it.

The brim is covered separately withplush cut to fit it in shape, and is

lined on the side next the croim withsilk. A dever little touch of styleis achieved by tlie extension of thebrim at the left front over the rightside in the effect of a strap. Theend is rounded and brought up aliovethe top of the brim at tbe right front.

It is apparently held in place by a silk

cord through which it is thrusLAt the side an embroidered orna-

ment serves to mount a cluster of pea-cock feathers (not the "eyes") to thebrim. They spriDjg; ont toward t^eback and complete a very , novel aDd>very pretty bit of headwear.

INVESTIGATIONS

and sinew of our civilization and

the fanii is the bai^ of our

we<ilth, and he should be taught,

and well taught, how to pursue

his avocation. If the ownership

of a farm is not necessary for

his purpose, then let it be sold.

However, this farm is no expense

to the state, and we see no goodijrant S^JIiUy, - - - - Sdifor

^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^ ^jtj^ g^^g.Jlmma 3>. £iUM, - - 'S'^*'/

! thing that may be of incalcuable

good to the citizenship of the

state when it costs the State

nothing to keep it. It has been

urged that farming is not taught

in the public schools and for that

reason it is not necessary to give

teachers instruction in this line.

Then add rudimentary farming to

the school course and let the

farmer boys be scientifically

trained.'If the Legislature will devote

its time to real abuses and tear

them out, root and Inranch, it.

will accomplish much good for

the state of Kentucky.

We have pointed out fromtime to time where thousandsand thousands of dollars could

be saved to the treasury by root-

ing out unnecessary and uncon-

stitutional offices. But when it

tackles the entrraidmient of offi-

cialdom, it tackles something as

well fbrtified as Gibraltar. Theoffice holding class hold annualconventions, not for the purpose

of improving the service of the

departments, but for the purposeof entrenching themselves andmaking their oflfices secure andcreating additional offices and in-

creasing the a>st of all offices

maintained by the fee system,

and increasing the salaries of all

officers who are paid salaries.

They work in a delightful har-

mony and the result is that thecost of government has very

greatly increased with no increase

whatever in efficiency of service.

Let the Legislature investigate

this and after it investigates it,

let^it do something for the relief

of the oveifourdened tax payer.

The Legislature has started out

on an investigating tour, and pur-

poses finding out what is being

done with the public funds, aind

has taken up tiie rqxnrts of In-

spector Gcodpastor that haveheretofore been made to the Gov-enMNT.

AU of this Is well. Mr. Good-pastor is.an officer of the Com-monwealth, and his office wasestablished for the benefit of the

Commonwealth and all of its tax

payers and he should not be hin-

dered in his investigations, but

should be encouraged. The res-

olution to censure him was fool-

ish and was properly voteddown.The various institutions be-

longing to the state are officered

by men who owe a duty to it, andtheir conduct of the.<ie institutions

shouki be a subject of investiga-

tion annually. It is not supposedfor a moment that there is anycorrupt or wrongful conduct go-

ing on in any of them. How-ever, man is not infallible andthe investigation of their conduct

of affairs is beneficial to themand beneficial to the state alike.

Men can commit errors and yet

exercise their highest intelligence

and the strictest integrity, and aninvestigation of the methodswhich they are pursuing, may re-

sult in the suggestion to them of

methods that are better than the

ones they are employing.

A man may be ever so intelli-

gent and ever so honest and yet

may empk>y business methodsthat are ruinous. When inves-

tigated and attention called to it

and a better plan suggested by

men of equ^l integrity, hon-esty and capability, it should behailed with delight and not betreated either as an assault noran insult.

For the Eastern Normal Schoolwe have heretofore expressed

our high commendation of thesame as an institution and also

our entire confidence in the in-

teUigence, integrity and honesty

of its board of regents, officers

and faculty. Wp can say nothingmore than we have already said.

We are happy also to know that

this institution does not shrink

from an investigation of its affairs

but on the contrary has invited

such investigation, and we be-

lieve that this institution will

readily adopt any plan which the

intelligence of the Legislature

may show to them is a better

plan than the one that they are

employing.

The committee on the investi-

gation of this concern has recom-

mended the sale of the farm usedin connection with the school.

We know nothing about farming

BRIGHT PROSPECTS

An immense quantity of tobac-

co has been brought to this city

and sold on the local brakes in

the last few weeks. Richmondhas never seen anything like

it before. It is a great industry

and the energetic manner inwhich the tob^uxx) houses arehandling the situation, givespromise of making Richmond oneof the greatest tobacco centers in

the State. Madison county hasvery fine tobacco lands, and the

strenuous competition betweenthe several houses will cause eve-

ry foot of ground that can be uti-

lized for tobacco to |>e drafted

into service.

Richmond is now one of the

largest tobacco markets andwholesale districts in EasternKentucky and with its fine NormalSchool, the Female school, the

city schools, together with BereaCollege and the High scoools at

Kirksville, Waco and Union City,

Madison county is in a position

to invite people who are desirous

of securing good homes wherework can be obtained and their

children educated to locate here.

The man who cries out against ourindustries and our schools,\ worksan injury to the community.

his purpose, then let it be sold.

However, this farm is no expenseto the state, and we see no good

sense in doing away with some-

thing that may be of incalcuable

good to the citizenship of the

state when it costs the State

! nothing to keep it. It has been

urged that farming is not taught

in the public schools and lor that

reason it is not necessary to give

teachers instruction in this line.

Than add rudim^tary farming to

the school course and let the

farmer boys be scientifically

trctined.

^ If the Legislatore will: de>'ote

its time to real abuses and tesr

them out, root and branch, it.

will accomplish much good for

the state of Kentocky.

We have pointed out fromtime to time where thousands

and thousands of dollars could

be saved to the treasury by root-

ing out unnecessary and uncon-stitutional offices. But when it

tackles the entrenchment of offi-

cialdom, it tackles something as

well fortified as Gibraltar. Theoffice holding class hold annualconventions, not for the purpose

of improving the service of thedepartments, but for the purposeof entrenching themselves and i

making their offices secure andcreating additional offices and in-

creasing the cost of all offices

maintained by the fee system,

and increasing the salaries of all

officers who are paid salaries.

They work in a delightful har-

mony and the result is that the

cost <rf government has very

greatly mcreasedwith no increase

whatever in efficiency of service.

Let the Legislatore investigate

this and after it investigates it,

let it do something for the relief

of the overburdened tax payer.

CHAPTER XVI.

The Profncor's Experiment.Ttarooghont all this excrement

Percy Darrow did absolutely nothing.He spent all his time, save that re-

quired for meals ard the shortest nec-

essary sleep, In a round-armed wood-en chair In the wireless station of the

Atlas Building. Jack Warford sat

with him. Darrow rarely opened bis

mouth for speech, but smoked slowlya few cigarettes, and rolled manymore, which he held unlighted in thecorner of his mouth until they droppedto pieces. He watched quietly all

that went on; glanced through suchmessages as came in from MonsieurX, read the papers, and dozed. To re^porters he was affable enough in his

drawling slow fashion, but had noth-ing to say.

"Eldridge is doing this." he said fb

them; "I'm only in the position of anlaterested spectBtoT."

Eldridge had taken hold in a thor-

oughly competent wai'. Back of the

cold precision of his undoubted sclentiflo attainments lurked, unexpectedby most, a strong ambition and a less

admirable hankering for the lime-light.

His bpi>ortunity to gratify all.these ap-

petites—science, advancement, andfame—was too good not to cause himthe deepest satisfaction.

"I have determined," he told the re-

porters, "that this particular instru-

ment alone receives the messagesfrom the unknown perpetrator. OurInvestigations must be initiated, there-

fore, in this apartment

"

"How do you explain it?" asked oneof the reporters.

"I can not explain it scientlflcally.'*

admitted Eldridge, "but I can surmisethat the fact either purposely or ac-

cidentally has to do either with this

instrument's location or with someslight and undetermined peculiarity

of its tuning."

"Tou could easily tell which bymoving the Instrument to another sta-

call Monsleor X**—the newspapers hadadopted Darrow's nickname for the Un-known—"since you have succeeded in

communicating with him.""Marvelous," said Darrow to Jack

—

but under his breath."As the sending of Monsieur X is

faint, it follows that he is somewherenear the periphery of this circle, orthat he is possessed of a primitfre or

weak instrument. By the doctrine of

probabilities we wpuld be Justified in

concluding against the latter soppo-sltlon."

"How's that. Professor?" asked theMorning Register man. "It doesn't

get to me,""He is evidently a man not only of

scientiflc attalnmentSj but of immensescientific possessions—aa is evidencedby these phenomenal results he is ableto accomplish. But we are not justi-

fied in reasoning according to the doc-trine of probabilities. Therefore, weshall proceed methodically. I havealready made my preparations."

Eldridge Ipoked about him with anBiir of triumph.

"I am fortanate enough to have, inthe present crisis, unlimited financial

backing," he said. "Therefore, 1 amin a position to carry out the most ex-

haustive of experiments."He stretched bis hand out for a long

Throughout the greater part of thenight the experiment continued.At near four o'clock in the morning

Simmons raised , his head after a longboot of calling to announce that heooold get no reidy from Monsieur X.

"He's got tired of your fool mes-sages," remarked the Register man."And 1 don't wonder! Guess he's goneto bed." ,

"I get him," reported Simmons, after

a moment.

"Send him anything plausible andreassuring," commanded Eldridge has-

tily. He turned to his small and at-,

tentive audience in triumph. 'Thus,gentlemen." he announce^, "we bav«proven conclusively that our man is

located between forty and fifty milesfrom New York. If we draw twocircles, with this building as center,

the circumference of one of which is

fifty, the other forty miles away, wedefine the territory within which the

malefactor In qaestion Is to befound."

The people in the room crowdedclose about the table to examine themap upon which Professor Eildrtdge

had drawn the circles.

"There's an awful lot of country

—

some of it pretty wild." objected the

Bulletin man. 'It will be a long Jobto hunt a man down in that territory.'"

"Even if it were as extensive as ahasty review of the facts might indi-

cate," stated Eldridge, "I venture to

aseert that enough men would be,forth-

coming to expedite such a search. Butmodifying circomatancies will lighten

the task."

"How's that?" asked the Bannerman, speaking for the otheri' evidentinterest.

"We have no means of surmising

the method by which this man suc-

ceeds in arresting vibratory motionsof certain waveJengthe," said EHdridgedidactically, "any more than we areable to define the precise nature of

"Certainly," snapped Eldridge. "anychild could deduce that. But I fail to

cover where the messages can be re-

He gazed frostily at the man whohad interrupted him. Darrow smiled

answered Slmbnons wearily. "Do youwant it?"

"No, it is not necessary," replied El-

Silence fell on the room. At theend of ten minutes Simmons raisedbis head.

"I get 'O K Q' over and over," saidhe. "Want that?"

"That," replied Eldridge with satis-

faction, "indicates that my crew onthe special train In the Adirondackstwo hundred miles away has heardyour message to Monsieur X." Heglanced at his watch. "Now, If youwould be so good as to afford me amoment's assistance." he requestedSimmons, "I wish to disconnect fromyour battery one of your powerful Lioy-

"Next," he instructed Simmoas, "seeIf you can communicate with MonsieurX."The operator speedily reported his

please, gentlemen."The phenomena have been directed

with great accuracy (a) at the Atlas

Building; (b) at this city and someof its immediate snbarbs. The pecal-

iarity of this can not but strikejm ob-

servant mind. How is this man able,

at forty or fifty miles distance, fo con-

centrate his efforts on one compara-tively small objective? We can only

surmise some system of insulating

screens or focal mirrors. I might re-

mark in passing that the existence of

this power to direct or focus the morerapid ethereal vibrations would be adiscovery of considerable scientific

moment. But if this is the methodemployed, why do we not cut a bandof vibratory nullifications, rather tlumtouch upon a focal point?"

"Repeat softly," murmured tho irre-

pressible Register man."Why," explained Eldridge patiently,

"are not the people and buildings be-

tween here and the unknown operatoraffected? The only hypothesie we are

justified in working upon is that the

man's apparatus is at a height suffi-

cient to carry over intervening ob-

stacles. This hypothesis is strength-

ened by the collateral fact that the

territory we have Just determined astluit within which he most be foundlies in the highlands of oar own andneighboring states. We may, ther»<

within our radius."

Percy Darrow opened one eye.

"Perhaps he's up in a balloon," hedrawled languidly; "better take alongan aeroplane."Eldridge cast him a look of cold

scorn; Darrow closed one eye^

CHAPTER XVII.

Drawing the Net.

The "zone of danger," as the Bulle-

tin named it, was immediately the

scene of swarming activities. Besidesthe expedition immediately despatchedby the interests backing the investi-

gation, several enterprising newspa-pers saw a fine chance for a big scoop,

and sent out much-heralded parties of

their own. The activities of these

were well reported, yon may be sure.

Public Interest was at once focused

reassuringly on the chances of finding

the annoying malefactor today or to-

morrow; there no longer existed adoubt that he would be foand. The,weight of dread was UTted, and in the

reaction people made light of the in-

conveniences and fun oi the menacingmessages that now came in by the

dozen."If was necessary to tiike extraordi-

nary precautions against thieves andfire; the people took them.The public delivered itself Joyously

to a debauch of rumors and of "ex-

tras." The insistent alarms of danger,trickling in slowly from the outside

world, dried up in the warmth of

optimism. Only the mijre thoughtful,

to a few of whom these warningsearner coupled them with Monsieur X'srepeated threats, and walked uncer-

tain and in htunility.

Percy Darrow did not interest him-self in the search, nor did he desert

his post in the wireless office. Therehe did nothing whatever. Jack War-ford stayed with him, but immenselybored, it must be confeseed.

Thus there passed two days of the

tent phenomena and the messages sud-

denly ceased. TUs fact was hailad

compressed the highest hills in thezone—a fact on all fours with his hy-

pothesis.

On the appointed morning the armymoved toward the center. Men beat

the ground carefully, so close to oneanother that they could touch hands.

As they closed in the ranks becamethicker. Animals of many kinds, con-

fused as the ranks closed in on them,tried to break through the cordon andwere killed. Captains held order in the

front row, that the army taight not

become a crowd. Birds, alarmed bythe shouting, rose and wheebjd.

In the city Immense crowds watchedthe bulletins sent momentarily fromthe very field itself by private wires

strung hastily for the occasion. En-terprising Journals had prepared hugerough maps, on which the contracting

circle was Indicated by red lines, con-

star tly redrawn. It was discovery be-

fore a multitude. The imagination of

the public, fired by its realization of

this fact, stretched itself ahead of the

distant beaters, bodying forth whatth^ might find.

As the clrole narrowed excitementgrew. All business ceased. The streets

were crowded; the windows of thebuildings looking out on the numerousbulletin-boards were black with' heads.

Those who could not see demandedeagerly of those who could.

In the Atlas Building the wireless

operator hung out of his window. Be-

side him was Jack Warlord.Darrow declined to Join him. "Tou

CHAPTER XVIII.

Confusion Worse Confounded.The absolute failure of Eldridge's

hypothesis Immediately threw public

confidence Into a profound reaction.

Certainty gave place to complete dis-

trust. Rumor gained ground. Theexodus increased. Where,fbrmerly onlythose who eoald do so without greatsacrifice or inconvenience had left

town, now people were beginning to

cut loose at any cost. Men resignedtheir positions in order to get their

families away; others began to arrange their affairs as best they mightyas though for a long vacation. As yet

panic had not appeared openly in thelight of day. bat she larked la theshadows of men's hearts.

The railroads and steamboats werecrowded beyond their capacity. Extratrains followed one another as closetogether as the block signals wouldallow them to run. Humanity packedthe cars. It was like a continual series

of football days. In three of them it

wis estimated that two hundred thou-

sand people had left Manhattap. It

would have been physically impossiblefor the transportation lines to havecarried a thousand more. They hadreached their capacity; the spigot waswide open.

Percy Darrow showed Jack the head-lines to this effect.

"Cheerful thotight." he suggested.

"Suppose the whole tour million shouldwant to get out at tiie same time!"An hour and a half after the bulletin

announcing the failure of the searchhad been posted, Eldridge rushed into

the wireless office. The plague of

darkness had lifted aftor Hfteui min-utes' duration.

"Call Monsieur X," he gasped to the

day operator. In fifteen minutes, byrapid substitutions of batteries to

weaken or strengthen the sending cur-

rent, he had redetermined his previ

ous data. Apparently, without the

shadow of a doubt. Monsieur X waswithin the clrole.

"He may be at sea," suggested the

operator.

But Eldridge si'.ooV; his head. TheCircle of the sea had been well pa-

trolled, and for days.

"Begin all over again." drawledDarrow. 'I told you that you warson the wrong track."

Eldridge glanced at him.

"I can't say that you've doae mneh!"said he tartly.

"No?" queried Darrow, with one ol

his slow and exasperating smiles,

"Perhaps not. But you'd better ge»

to thinking. You won't be able always

to take things easy. Too may have to

hustle before long."

"There has been, I admit." said EH-

dridge stiffly, repeating In sabstsnce

the interview he had already given

out. "some flaw in our chain of rea-

soning. Thle it will be necessary to

review with the object of revision,

Every physical manifestation musihave some physical and definite cause

;

and this can be found if time enough

is bestowed on it Often the process

of elimination la the only method by

which the truth can be' determined."

Darrow chuckled.

"Look out the process of elimina-

tion doesn't overtake you." he r*marked.

It is charged oxa naval expertsknow that the navies of Japan, GreatBritaiu, Germany and France recentlyabandoned the manufacttire and use of

arm.or intended to withstand armor-piercing projectiles. Armor-piercingprojectiles themselves, according to

information, are inferior.

The effective weapon of the naviesof these countries is described as ashell containing an explosive of I'nor

mous powei. Their blow against theoutside does vastly more damai;'^ i!ian

any penetrating projectile could.

The charge is made that rather thanadmit a serious blunder has been madein ship construction officials who de-

cide the class of plate to be used havt»

been willing to proceed along presentlines, aided by armor plate manufac-turers who are making big profits andwlio liave joined with the officials ii:

Announcement

Asleep at the Switch

The Court of Appeals has de-

cided that the two amendmentsto the constitution, one relating

to working convicts on public

roads and the other to the classi-

fying of property for taxation,

was not properly adopted.

The vote on the two amend-

ments was only about 100,000

and there were more than 400,-

000 'votes cast in the election.

The court holds that under Sec-

constitution that

it is the duty of the Secretary

of State to cause the amend-ment and the time sameis to be voted upon to be publish-

ed 90 days before the vote is ta-

ken.

Secretary of State Crecelius

forgot to advertise the amend-ments and the time of the voting

and did not do so until 60 davs

before the election. "The Court

says:

"To say that the words of the

Constitution are directory is to

license a violation of the instru-

ment every day and every hour.

To preserve tiie instrument invi-

olate we must regard its words,

except when expressly permis-

sive, mandatory and breathing the

spirit of command."This will require that the two

constitutional amendments be

submitted to the vote of the peo-

ple again by an act of the L^is-lature.
