Chicago, referring to my monogsopn III

ic Association. and to Other wriungs on

The professor has been fearless. While
condemning the great railroad strike at
cb,c.oo he said. "If the railroads would
exoect their men to be law abiding they
must set the example," A prominent
railroad president was indignant. Presi-
don, uarner wrote Prof Bemis that this
sneech caused him a good deal OF annoy =
ance The words of Prof. Bemis spoken
in . time of peace would have excited no
comment but in that crucial moment
coming as they did from q college pro
lessor they carried great weight. A man
occupyipg such position should be very
conservative and ever bear in mind that
his utterances attain significance more
from the position be holds than from his
mere personality. Again it must be borne
10 mind that college professors are very
liable to become theorists, lose touch
with affairs and that often 1t is safer to
be guided by the practical business man
than by the learned collegiate instructor.
So far it has not appeared that Prof.
Bemis has overstepped the limits Of pru-
dence. He may have done so but Presi-
dent Harper has cited no instances Of SO
doing and has not assigned such "a cause
for the dismissal. Until that is done it
would be manifestly unjust to assume
that Prof. Bemis has been imprudent.
He is recognized authority in economics
and sociology. But this statement of his
leaves the impression that had he been
contsnt to teach only such things as
naturally would be pleasing to those
wealthy men, who either had given OF
were expected to give literally to the I'M
iversity, he would now be occupying a
position Of EN- olument and honor
among the instructors Of that institution.
One instinctively feels that these words
from Prof Bemis are In q degree perth.
ent to the case: 1.-THE benumbiHg influence
of certain class of actual or hoped-fo
endowment, whether this influence is
directly exerted by donors or only in
stinctively felt by university authorities
and instructors, is grave danger now
confronting some Of our best institutions u
1t certainly behooves President Harper
to speak out frankly. Unless he does so,
and either shows that the professor
teachings were pernicious or that there
were other good reasons for his dismissal
the public will believe that "under the
circumstances President Harper and
those in control of the university were
convinced that there would be more
money for Chicago University in dismis
sing Prof. Bemis than in keeping him,
and that the need Of teaching the truth
and the whole truth in the departments Of
economics and sociology received minor
consideration.

YOUR TIRED STOMACH.

ns reason together. Perhaps thus far your
stomach is merely tired. You have been eat
ing too much, eating the wrong things, and
irrepularly. You have given it TOO much to do,

stops at length from sheer exhaustion. There
may not be an actually diseased condition asyef
Still it is natures warning, and you must heed
il or worse will follow. "But l must eat or

usually lies in middle courses. Here is one
for YOU. You don't need drastic purges
or exciting stimulants. Your condition is
one easily relieved if we go about it gently
and sensibly. The tired stomach won't work
under whip and spur. 1t has probably had
too much of that already. What you require
is something that is at once food and a di-
sester of food. Such an article is the Shaker

WITH the food, it does the stomach's work for

with water brought from spring by
pipe, at comparatively moderate
temperature, which is soon lowered
by standing in an open trough on a

gradually passes through the trough

warmer water of the spring. This

liable Feed for Hogs.
Bulletin Nc 81 of the Utah Expert
ment station renders the relative value
OF wheat, peas, corn and barley in the
production VI pork. 1t is record of a
feeding experiment with Berkshire
hogs during the winter of 1884
There were four sets of hogs fed: one
was fed wheat and bran in equal pro-
portions by weight; one peas and bran;
another corn and bran, and fourth
barley and bran. In other respects
the conditions were equal The expert
ment extended from December 5, 1898,
TO May 10. 1894.
Peas mixed with bran, half and
half by weight. proved to be far
superior to either wheat. corn or bar
ley mixed and fed in the same manner,
both as to rapid gain and to the
amount required for one pound of
gain.
The wheat mixture comes second.
with corn and barley following in the
order named.
The pea mixture gave gain of near
ly 200 pounds more than the Y-heat
mixture; 225 pounds more than the
corn mixture, and $50 pounds more
than the barley mixture;
While the pigs averaged the same
weight, it required so of a pound
more of the wheat mixture, 1. Al pounds
more of the corn mixture, and l. SO
pounds more of the barley mixture to
produce one pound of gain than of the
pea mixture.
Peas and wheat proved to be excel
lent feed, fed mixed with bran in the
manner described.
Reckoning pork at four cents per
pound, live weight. after deducting
the cost of the bran at $40 per ton,
wheat fed in this experiment brought
1914 cents per bushel, or 81. 40 per hun
