and meal will no longer be grown, but
made. Herds of cattle, 6ocks of sheep
and droves of swine will cease to be
bred, because beef and mutton and
pork will be manufactured direct from
their elements. Fruit and flowers will
doubtless continue to be grown as
cheap decorative luxuries, but no
longer as necessities of food or orna-
ment. There will be in the great air
trains of the future no grain or cattle
or coal cars, because the fundamental
food elements will existeverywhere and
require no transportation. Coal will no
longer be dug, except, perhaps, with
the object of Transforming it into bread
or meat. The engines of the great food
factories will be driven, not by artifi-
cial combustion, but by the underly-
ing heat of the globe. In order to
clearly conceive these impending
changes, it must be remembered that
milk, eggs, flour, meat, and, indeed,
all edibles, consist almost entirely (the

and nitrogen. Oxygen and hydrogen
are the two gases which, when COM
bined, form water. Oxygen and nitro
gen mixed are the air we breathe. Car
bon forms the charcoal of wood, is the
main constituent of coal, and as car
bonic acid gas in the air is the chief
food of the vegetable world, these four
elements, universally existing, are des-
tined to furnish all the food now grown
by nature, through the rapid and
steady advance of synthetic chemistry.

HEALTH FOR THE MILLION:

A simple remedy for pimples is hot

three or four weeks.
The best soaps and perfumes are
made in France, and in selecting q
scent one will find thj French makes
more expensive, but Cl a more delicate
and lasting perfume than all other
makes. Violet, Lily of the Valley,
Crab Apple and Ylang Ylang, are those
of the finest, freshest fragrance.
Tinea circinata, or ringworm of the
general surface, is contagious, vege-
table parasitic disease, characterized by
one or several circumscribed, circular,
variously sized, reddish, inflammatory,
slightly scaly patches, accompanied
usually by itching. 1t begins as small
spot and develops peripherally. Tinea
circinata is caused by the presence OF
the trichophyton fungus, and is highly
contagious. Local treatment alone
usually sutfices for the majority Of
cases. An ointment Of precipitated
sulphur, one drachm to three ounces Of
lard, is valuable treatment. Apply
night and morning.
1t is worth while, these wet autumn
days, to keep strict lookout as to the
coverings of the children's feet. When
they take off their shoes at night it is
well to have an old stocking full of dry
oats or beans. Put these into the shoes
tie q string around the stocking Just al
the ankle, and set the shoes away fol
the night. The grain will not only
draw out the moisture, but will keel
the shoes in shape without allowing
them to shrink. There is nothing more
uncomfortable than to put on damp
and soggy shoe leather, and with fore.
thought and precaution it is entirely
unnecessary.
The proper sterilization of milk con
sists in warming it to temperature
100 degrees Fahrenheit, and boiling it.
Boiling it renders it indigestible and
unfit for babies. No matter how fresf
cows milk may be, for babies it should
always be sterilized. A large percent.
age of cows from which the milk sup
ply is procured are tuberculous, and as
the bacilli of this disease may be killed
and rendered harmless by subjecting
them to temperature of 100 degrees in
the manner described, it should always
be done. Moreover, milk is particu
larly prone to contamination with dis
ease germs from outside sources-by
uncleanliness in milking, exposure tC
foul surroundings during milking, un.
clean utensils, the addition of impure
water,an by various accidents, ,againsr
all which sterilization is etfectually
protective, and therefore should not be
neglected.

IowA's celebration Of the nineticth

THE malodorous lawsuit at Wa ,h

THE malodorous lawsuit at Wa ih-
ington has brought up the old discus.
sion about the sin of being found
out. 1t has, unhappily, become the
fashion to treat matters Of this kind
fippantly. There is no excuse for
such treatment, either as q matter
of morals or from standpoint of ex-
pediency. For the broad assertion is
justified that the man who practices
immortality is fool There is a flaw
somewhere in his intellectual make
up. His folly does not consist in be-
ing found out, He may conceal his
iniQuity-whether it consists in Sc
ducing women, in financial dishon-
esty, or in treachery to friends or
party-all his life long, and still be a
fool. And, what is more, he will
himself realize at one time or an
other that he is fool-that he has
not received anything Of value to
compensate him for the loss of his
self-respect. No man is entirely
without sin of some kind. Most men,
happily, are warned from habitual
immortality by the results of one slip.
But any man can, il he will look back,
put his finger on some failing-some
peccadillo-and testify that it cost
him in mental suffering ten times all
the profit or all the qualification he
derived from it. Place this single
experience against the cumu'a alive i'll
doing Of the habitually immoral man,
and imagine what his reckoning with
himself must be-for he does cast up
accounts with himself. Consider the
shame and modification of habitual
scoundrel left alone with himself
and decide whether the immoral man
is the wise man or not.

OLD King Behanzln, though he Is
dethroned and shorn of his regal
powers, is enjoying himself like a
Chicago Doodle alderman, The
French evidently consider that the
sanguinary ex-potentate Of Dahomey
ought to have something in exchange
for the broad domains they have
fllched from him. Therefore, al
though he is confined In the fortress
Of Martinique, he is allowed to have
four of his wives with him, he is al
lotted $4,000 francs a year for Incl
dental expenses, and he gets drunk
every night Of his life on the best
brandy the island can supply. Such
a lot in life is in strong contrast with
that of the ex-Klng of Gravesend,
who is allowed no wives, no income
and no brandy, and who has to work
hard every day. The two cases Illus
trate the difference between the
French and the American method OF
dealing with kings. The French

a superstitous reverence for royalty
The Americans have.

Hospitals.

Hospitals, as we now understand
the term, are Of modern growth.
True it is, as Mr.. Burdette tells us In
the historical section of "Hospitals
and AsYlums Of the Word" that in
the records of Egypt and ancient
India we find illusions to institu-
tions that foreshadow the hospitals
Of later times, and even our asylums
for sick animals are borrowed from
the East.
An inscription engraved on rock
near the city Of Surat tells how
Asoka, King who relghed in Guje-
rat in the third century B. G. com.
manded the establishment of hospi-
tails in all his dominions, and placed
one at each Of the four gates of the
royal city of PaUna. Six hundred
years after this, Fabian, an intelli.
gent Chinese traveller who visited
India in 800 A. D., records that
Asoka's hospitals still existed and
fOurished, but the successive floods
of conquest swept all away and by
the beginning Of this century only a
hospital for animals remained Of all
the pious Kings foundations
Ancient Egyptian records are more
vague in their illusions to the treat
ment Of the sick; but it seems likely,
from legend which is given in tho
Papyrus Ebers, that clinic existed
In connection with the temple Of
Heliopolls. 1t is equally probable
that, If the history Of the temples Of
Aesculapious could he unveiled, we
should find that in them also hos
pital supplemented the shrine, and
that the sick who offered sacrifices
there found something more than
"fath healing" within their walls.
But from none of these are our hos
pitfalls derived; they were destroyed
or forgotten in the barbarian con-
quests, and SO utter is the oblivion
into which they fell that it is now an
article of the popular creed that it is
to Chr stianitY we owe the first idea
of care for the sick and afflicted

A CORRESPONDENT protests against
the statement made in many news
papers that the Strikers In the Con
nellsville coke region Of Pennsylvania
are Hungarlans, That their ranks
may have contained a few Hungarl-
ons is not denied, but he says the
great majority of the men are Slavs
and Croatians, the latter being the
result Of Slavic admixture with
other elements. The strikers were
gathered from the outskirts of Hun
gary, and do not properly belong to
the Magyars, nor should they be
Classed with them. AS a matter of
national pride it is well to draw the
distinction, but the statement does
not alter the fact that the conduct
Of the strikers was in line with the
barbarous disregard for the rights of
others which obtained among most
human beings in the fifth century.

The terrific row kicked up over the
ST. Gauden3 medal by the Senate
Worlds Fair Committee moves an
Eastern contemporary to suggest that
there should be national art bureau
to lass upon such matters as the CO.
lumbar medal, The suggestion does
not appear feasible. The disagree
ments among doctors are feeble and
puny compared with the pitched bat
ties between artists Of different
schools. No man could hold the DO
sition Of chief of the proposed art
bureau for a month. He would favor
some parti ;ular artistic cult or school,
and as a result mighty roar would
go up from all the other cults and
schools demanding his impeachment
and removal. If he stood to his guns
his decisions would be ridiculed and
his motives questioned. His work
would be OF no value whatever; be-
cause nine tenths OF the artists would
proclaim him to be an ignoramus and
a charlatau. The Senate committee
is bad enough, but a bureau of art.
would be infinitely worse. Fortu.
nately we have few occasions for the
services Of such a bureau, Columbia
medals will not be needed again for
a century at least, and if the modest
minded Senators want to put trousers
on st. Gaudens young man, they had
better be allowed to do it. 1t will be
better than opening Pandora's box by
creating an art bureau.

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feverS
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
