The letters Of Mr. Henry Watterson preaag-

OF attention. nfr. Watterson Is right in saying

split peas, and then supplied with water
Immediately before being killed. 1t was
found that the water had carried the
peas from fifty to sixty feet into the in
testines, where no digestion took place
at all.
Mr.. Cassie is quite correct in the
views set forth regarding the ini lrous
effects of large quantities of water
swallowed Immediately after eating. A
small quantity of fluid swallowed along
with, or Immediately after dry food,
benefcially softens it and assists in its
subdivision and digestion. An inordi-
nate supply of water, or of water fluid,
on the other hand, proves injurious. 1t
dilutes unduly the digestive secretions
it mechanically carries onward the i'm
perfectly digested food. and thus inter
feres with the proper functions of the
canal and excites indigestion and
diarrhea. These untoward effects are
especially apt to occur where horses
freely fed and too literally watered are
shortly put to tolerahy quick work.
There is no more infallible method of
producing collie, diarrhea, and infianma-
ton of the bowels. The horse is not
peculiar in this respect; dogs, and even
their masters, similarly suffer from CO.
pious draughts of water Immediately
after eating much solid food-Net0 En-

The Patrons of Husbandry.

It is questionable whether any coun-
try ever produced an organization, non-
political in it's character, whose growth
was more rapid, vigorous and healthful
than that of the order known as the
Patrons of Husbandry. The wonderful
rapidity with which oranges have Dlulti.

not to speak of others, and the system
attic, well-ordered network of connec-
ton which has already been established
from the districs or primary grange, up
through county and State to the nation
al organization, is marked illustration
of the real executive ability of the yeo-
many when called into requisition.
We have had faith from the outset
that much good would come of this
movement. 1t is the legitimate out
growth of a deep-seated dissatisfaction
AN organized protest against train
of abuses which have been gradually
fastening themselves upon the govern

country. Chief among the latter is the
undue multiplication of what are called
middlemen, and the opportunities at

The Temperance Worker gives q
realistic picture of the results of the
constant application of alcohol to the
stomach:
Alcohol, regularly applied to thrifty
farmers stomach, will remove the
boards from the fence, let cattle into
his crops, kill his fruit trees. mortgage
his farm, and SOW his field with wild oats
and thistles. 1t will take the paint off
his buildings, break the glass out of the
windows and fill them with rags. It will
take the gloss from his clothes and pol
ish from his manner, subdue his reason
and arouse his passions, bring sorrow
and disgrace upon his family and top
pie him into adrunkard's grave. 1t will
do this to the artisan and the capitalist,

to the farmer for, in its deadly enmity
to the human race, alcohol is no respect.

Remarkable Case of Preservation.

The London correspondent of the
New York Graphic writes, under date
of Aug. %:
Forty-eight years ago Bishop Miner,
Roman Catholic Prelate of England,
author of the END of Controversy
and other works, died, and was buried
in Welverhampton, In tomb which
had been cut in the rock. The
other day the tomb was opened, and
the coffin, which was of oak and lead,
was removed to be buried in a church
The coffin was opened, and although
the body had not been embalmed it
was found whole and entire and not at
all decayed. 1t was covered with a
neat and elegant plated shroud made
of flannel and trimmed with amber silk.
The hands were placed by the sides of
the body; there was no ring on the
finger, or indeed any sign whatever to
show that it was the body of priest or
bishop. The face wore its natural col
or, save a small part, covered with a
nose was of dark color, the hands
were discolored, though perfect, and
like the hands as represented in the
portrait of the bishop. A scapular was
suspended from the neck. During the
course of this and the following day
hundreds of people came to see the
body. Several who had known the
bishop well in life now distinctly recog-
nized him in death. The coffin having
been open from Thursday morning ct
ten o'clock until four in the afternoon
of Friday, the body assumed dark
brown hue, yet it has retained its form
er size and shape, the flesh remaining
firm. The ceremony of reinterment
took place on Monday, the Oath in
slant, and was performed by the cler-
gymeE of the town. But a still more
remarkable case of the preservation of
a body is reported to-day. The great
painter, Leonardo de Vinci, died in
France in 1919, and was buried in Am
broise Castle in stone sarcophagus.
The other day some workmen engaged
in repairing the castle opened the sar.
cophagus, and the body, which had
been buried for 355 years, was found in
a state of perfect preservation. The
Comte de Paris has ordered it to be
transferred to the chapel of the castle

forded these for taking advantage of
the isolated, disorganized agricultural
producers.
In the broad and scientific sense of
the term, middlemen are themselves
producers. They are such just so far
as they are instrumental in satisfying
the wants and desires of men. Such
agencies are indispensable. They serve
an important purpose, but they may do
it very inefficiently. A laxity and clum-
siness have become manifesNn the ma
chinery of exchange, growing out of the
want OF intelligent and harmonious CO.
operation among the agricultural
masses, on the one hand, and willing.
ness, not unnatural, on the part of or
gained capital to take advantage of the
situation, on the other. The result is
waste in the producing power of the
country, and in many instances an un-
fair distribution of the rewards of in
dustry.
If the grange movement shall succeed
In remedying these evils to any consid-
cradle extent, without inficting others
equally mischievous, it will have sub
served an important end. 1t is destined
TO WELD wonderful power in the coun-
try, and along with its power comes a
grave responsibility It has serious
dangers to encounter. Not least among
these are false teachings of demagogues
without the order and within it. AS it
shall grow in strength the opportunities
for corruption in its own ranks, as in the
case of political parties, will greatly
multiply, though, from the nature of
the organization, by no means to the
same extent.
The members of this order have been
charged by the monopoly organs with
being communists. Nothing we be-
lieve could be farther from the truth
than such a charge. No class of our
population are more deeply interested
in the preservation of all those rights
and privileges which law and govern
ment were instituted to secure, than the
farmer. None have a higher apprecia
ton of the rights of property, or a
keener sense of the necessity of their
preservation. We have Lo fear of COM
munism from such source. On the
other hand, the oranges, it seems to
us, if rightly managed, must prove
valable educating agency. In this
fact centers our chief hope of good re-
suits. The movements of the Patrons
then will be watched with interest, not
by demagogues alone, but also by good
and true men everywhere. With power
comes responsibility. Let them bear
it soberly and iscreetly.-Madisora
Democrat.
