It Is Not Enough to Merely Hold

Hard Times in Health as Well "a Business
How to Attain Physical Prosperity.
Every successful merchant keeps
two columns, one for profit" and
another for "Loss." At the close OF
each year balance is taken and the
true condition of things revealed.
Unwise purchases or too many
charges on the books may easily make
the balance show on the wrong side.
In dull and hard times the merchant
often thinks he is fortunate if the
books do not show loss, even if there
is no gain. He is almost satisfied il
he "holds his own"
A great many young people, espec-
tally school girls, seem to be living in
dull and hard times" for they do not
improve and develop as they should.
They just hold their own, and that is
all. They should be growing and
making advances all along the line.
Every day should show balance on
the Profit side Of the health column.
They should gain in weight, increase
III height, and steadily develop in mus
cular and mental strength.
If there is stand-still, just holding
your own, then an effort should be
made to aid nature. You only have to
give her little start in the right
direction. Some good reinforcements
will easily help her over the hill, then
everything Will prosper again. Give
her power and vigor by supplying her
with a nourishing food, reconstruc-
tive, and strong nerve tonics.

Hence, if they try some clear oil and

body has to digest the oil, and this
work of digestion takes vital energy.
Why not digest the oil before taking it,

FEEDING SKIM MILK.
How to Avoid Injuring the Calves
and InnIcting Upon Them In
digestion and ScOurs.

A correspondent writes asking some
advice as to how to feed young calves
on skim milk. The essential points in
growing calves on skim milk are that
the milk be sweet when fed, that it be
blood warm, that it be not fed in too
large quantities and that it be proper
ly supplemented with suitable meals.
Cold and sour milk almost invariably
disturbs digestion and produces scours,
which may or may not result seriously,
but it is at best certain to interrupt the
growth and thrift of the calf. a great
many calves are injured by over-feed.
ing skinned milk. the effort being to
make up in quantity for the fact that
the milk is less nutritious than whole
milk. The better way to meet this OBJ
lection to the skim milk is to add corn
meal and linseed meal, that is, ground
inseed, to the milk. The proportion
OF the linseed to the cornmeal may be
about one part to ten. The amount of
skim milk to be given will vary with the
appetite and age of the calf, but from
IL to 20pounds per day is liberal guam
tity, and with sufficient addition of
meals, good calves have been raised on
considerably less than this amount.
When the calf is born it is best to give
whole milk at first gradually substitute
ing skim milk, increasing the quantity
of the latter until it is all skim, in about
ten days or two weeks. For a 90 days
feed an average of about one pound of
cornmeal per day, with one-tenth as
much linseed meal to each 10 pounds Of
milk. will be sufficient. the amount of
the meal being light in the early part
of the feeding period and gradually in
creased. Hay should be added as soon
as the calves can be induced to take it.
If it is difficult to get linseed meal
ground. boil the linseed to jelly and
add it to the milk in that way.-Live

be slid back to the width of one at each
end, leaving the whole side open, and

as in a shed. The roofs were formerly
made of heavy curved tiles. Now gal
vanized iron is used, as it vastly de-
creases the chance of the roof falling
during an earthquake, and lessons the
damage if it does On the other hand
the iron roof is much more likely to be

other group that goes in for literature

and scheming to get into this set or
that, just as they DO in the outer world.
1t is very quaint and amusing. One en-
ploye will have a great reputation as
wit and another is spoken of as re.
markable musical genius; certain Sec
tons of the establishment will be re.
garded as aristocratic, while others are
looked upon as rather plebeian. In
short, the store is little municipality
within itself, and its people are curious
ly isolated from the outside public.
They revolve in their own particular
orbits, the gossip that flies about the
place deals with the people inside its
walls. and they care very little for any
other news. Their feeling toward an
other establishment is a good deal like
the feeling between two rival towns.

GEORGE WASHINGTON AcUIHALDo.

The report Of the assination OF ten
eral Luna of Aginaldo's guards was
regarded at first AS "a canard and
very little attention was paid to 1t.
But it would now seem that official
advices received by this government
tend to confirm the report and to
place upon the affair an aspect not
at all complimentary to Aguinaldo.
This footed George Washington of
the Philippines must be disappoint-
ing his friends and admirers in this
country. He disbands congress and
declares himself dictator, which was
not very like our own George Wash
ington. But previous to that he bad
coucocted a scheme for general
massacre of all Americans and for
eigners in Manila, which was very
unlike the father OF tine American
republic. Now, it is said, evidences
have come officially to this country
that the assassination of General
Luna was the result of a deliberate
conspiracy on AguiAaldo's part to
get rid Of rival who was becoming
more popular than the George Wash
iugton of the Philippines himself.
1t would not do, perhaps, to bank on
the reliability Of the Information,
but certain outcroppings tend to give
strong probability OF tie correctness,
subject to further confirmation. But
that General Luna was assassi mated
appears to be regarded in o. cial cir
cles as we'll settled Whatever the
circumstances, it shows that the
George Washington of the Philip
pines has not the command and CON

antee safety and order and peace

his admirers in this country are now

pino sympathizers in this country

fusing to sanction the borrowing of
money from the trust funds of the
state to be used for the purpose OF
erecting public buildings for which
the Legislature neglected to make
the necessary provision although
the attention Of that body was called
to the matter by the governor. 1t

aside partisanship just long enough
to pat the governor on the right
shoulder.
