the Salvation Army work all over
the world. From her death-bed she
sent this message to her friends:
"The waters are rising, but so am /.

the dying will be all right" Among
her latest sayings was: Don't dis

A Vermont farmer says: Lots of
farmers let their COWS stand out in
cold winds for hours, keep them in
cold stables, feed them irregularly
on poor food, and then, poor souls,
grumble because dairying doesn't
pay. The man who sits by the
stove IN the store denouncing trusts
and monopolies while his cattle are
curled up beside a wire fence shiv-
ering with cold and suffering from
hunger-that man is q fool. No
trust can harm him as he is harmIng
himself, and that is not the worst
of it. Bad as organized robbery is, il

and it had to be acquired from the
original source by human experience
and the study of nature.

The Ladies' Health Protective
Association of New Yolk has yolun-
teered its services to the city author
tiles to assist in keeping the streets
clean. The Boston Herald says:
"rhis ought to settle the question of

the mother SOW, but into which the
pigs can go, where you can feed
them a little milk and oatnn al or

better for them when weaned.
There is such thing as giving q
SOW too rich food while she is suck
ling her pigs, and by making the
