THE LAW OF GROWTH.

Some Very Useful Suggestions for Guidance

The rule of growth is that child
should increase two pounds in weight
for every inch in height between three
and four feet, and two and half
pounds for every inch weight between
tour feet and five feet. Any child
more than seven pounds below the
weight here given should be examined
medically. A remarkable fact that
comes out from the tables is that the
boys at the public schools and young
men at the universities and entering

The Farmers Review Weekly Summary
of Crop Prospects and Conditions-Win-
ter Wheat Will be Light Crop.
CHICAGO, April 23.-The following crop
summary will be printed in this weeks
issue of the Farmers Reuieag:
''Our reports of last week fail to show
any better condition of the winter wheat
than previously reported. A considerable
acreage has been plowed up and seeded to
other crops in Ohio, Illinois, In
diana, Missouri and Southern Mich
igan. From all sections comes the
complaint that the season is cold and
backward and spring seeding much de-
layed; meadows and pastures show con-
siderable injury from the drouth Of last
summer, the severity Of the winter and the
long period Of spring freezing and thaw-
ing.
"The country is nearly bare of forage
from last years crops; in many cases the
farmers have been barely able to carry
their stock through the grass.
'The prospects for fruit, especially
small fruits, is reported fairly good.
''While the season might open more
propitious, there is yet chance for the
making of full crop in all farm prod
ucts, winter wheat alone excepted, which
must fall considerably below an average
crop"

Henry Smiths Three Avenues of Escape
From Present Diffiulties, Monarchy, Rev

NEW York, April 23-The earnest man
ner of Henry Smith, Member Of Congress

him the attention and applause Of the
auditors at the Anti Poverty meeting last

''There are only three ways out Of
our present ificulties-monarchy, revo-
luton, or State socialism, which means
free trade and free land. What is
the difference between q Republican and
a Democratic President? They are both
ruled by Wall street. We will join hands

letters from the Russian Minister of the
