Hoard's Dairyman: "Other cOndi-
lions being approximately slmilar,un-
der ground dairy rooms are hot only
objectionable but are much to be pre-
fered, because their temperture Is
more equsble. But good drainage

prOach. The fact is that neither
drinking whiskey nor buying pools
has any tendency to MAKE man bet
ter, and because man buys pools 1t
is not a safe guarantee that he will
not do wrong. On the contrary, :he
frequent and unavoidable loss of his
money in the pool box-foI no man
can win ali the time, in fact, it is
we'll known that in the long run he
will Iose-has no soothing effect
on his temper when ne reaches

money, may gamble and go through
all the ups and downs of the losses,
or the excitement of winning, and
vet preserve TIE same temper and
| the same moral equilibrium he
would otherwise have retained by
pursuing the even tenor of his every
day business. But to carry the
subject still further to show the fall

at glance so catching to the eye yet
