Eight gallons OF water per day is
the average quantity required for a
cow, and the milk given is about 81
per cent water. In some pastures there
is no water, the COWS being supplied
night and morning, which forces each
COW to drink four gallons at time in
order to be supplied, AS the COW does
not know that she must drink four
gallons, she may use less, and she will
reduce her milk supply accordingly.

II Should Be Done.

1t seems strange that men who
have Joined the Workmen and
have had chance to realize its
benefits should allow their policies
to lapse and become suspended,
but there are many and as Char
ity begins at home" it would seem
the part of wisdom for the Lodge
and Order to make special efforts
to prevent this carelessness as
much as it would be to get new
members. 1t might not be bad
plan to make this portion of the
deputies duties and have them
give special care to the recovery
and retention of suspended mem
bers. If the reason for a sus-
pension can be ascertained, and 1t
is in the power of the Lodge to
prevent its occurrence, it certainly
should be done.

evident fact and there should be a
practical unanimity in securing
the necessary legislation.

Our Order challenges the conf
dence of the public to-day with a
record absolutely the most glor-
ious, relatively the most successful,
and for the period of its existence
the most prolific for good of any
society ever devised by the human
mind. We are at the present time
cheered in our efforts and encour-
aged in our work because we can
proudly point to the results of the
past and can cite as our right to
exist and our claim for the support
of the public, the record OF our
Order in homes saved, widows
cheered, orphans encouraged, fam
lilies kept together, crime reduced,
poverty and misery dissipated.

Al OpeA Door.

The Minnesota GUIDE advises
the Degree of Honor to endeavor
to secure from the Supreme Lodge
authority to admit to membership
ladies who are not related to mem
bers of the A. o. U. w. and has a
good argument therefor.
We believe the Guide is right.
The policy of admitting only rela-
tives of members of the parent
Order restricts its sphere of useful
ness and the auxiliary should be
given the right to grow more
rapidly. The Gaide cites a case
that aptly describes the state of
affairs where it works an injustice:
"A young lady friend called up
on us the other day to learn if it
was possible to become a member
of the ID. of H. She had no rela-
tives among the A. o. U. w. mem
bers, and of course she was barred.
She had a mother depending large
ly upon her protection, and she
was anxious to become a benefci-
ary member of some good fraternal
society. Is there any possible
reason why such cases should be
barred?"
There are scores of young
women in almost every community
who are thus deprived of mem
bership in the d. of H. and other
kindred societies. Most of these
are intelligent workers, teachers,
typewriters and clerks, and if they
could be brought into the ID. of H.
would make most useful members,
fully equipped for conducting
Lodge in a successful manner.
The question as to an open door
in the Degree of Honor needs no
argument in its favor. 1t is self

Probably a Verdict of Guilty.

A Billville citizen, says the At
lanta Constitution, who happened
to get on a locked-up jury, ad-
dressed the following note to the
Judge: 1--WE the jury, bein hongry,
and locked up eight hours without
eatin, which has been our regular
habit since we knowed ourselves,
respectfully find ourselves guilty
of wantin' to eat, an recommend
that our sentence of imprisonment
be commuted to the liberty of
twelve square meals, athrowing of
ourselves on the mercy of the court
fer them same, after which we hope
to find the defendant guilty"

Ne Changed his Mind.

A man who was a member of a
beneficial Order became tired of
paying assessments and resolved
to pay no more and allow himself
to be declared suspended on the
assessment then payable A week
before its expiration he awoke one
morning with racking headache,
high fever, and pain in his back
that made him feel as though he
was on the point of breaking in
two. He tried to sit up, but his
head seemed to be going around
on his shoulders like a potters
lathe at high speed, and he fell
back on his pillow. The doctor
came, and after looking at the sick
man shook his head-the doctors
head-and said it was a serious
case; that it was fortunate he was
sent for without delay, but he
hoped to bring him around all right
in from two to six weeks. He then
left a prescription and promised to
call again in the afternoon. The
mans wife went down stairs to fill
the hot water bag and make a
mustard plaster, and while she was
deciding whether omix some -four
with the mustard to temper it, or
apply it red hot, she was startled
by stentorian voice coming from
the bedroom, yelling, johnnie!
Johnnie" Calling to the son of
the house she told him to run up
stairs as quickly as he could and
see what his father wanted. Here,
Johnnie" said the sick man as soon
as the boy entered the room, take
this money and run around to Mr..
Jones and tell him it is to pay my
assessment. If he is not at home
give it to Mrs. Jones. Now hurry,
there is no time to be lost. | am a
very sick man"
And now this member has fully
recovered his health and delights
in telling his friends what a close
call he had and how he would not
be without protection if it cost ten
times as much.-Onr Home.

not the remotest idea of the whole
structure that was destined to be
reared upon it.
And the Workmen who carried
forward the work didn't have
working drawings to be governed
by. So some mistakes were made,
naturally.
Perhaps there has had to be
some tearing down and rebuilding.
Perhaps there may have to be
more. But we know the fOunda-
ton is firm. We know that the
construction and maintenance Of
the superstructure is in the hands
of Workmen, good and true. If
there is a weak place in the wall
it will be torn out and rebuilt.

The Future Of Our Order.

No one can look very far into
the future. We may speculate and
prognosticate, but when it comes
right down to brass tacks, there is
a whole lot of guess work.
The inevitable law of cause and
effect rules in all things. A given
cause will produce given effect,
and there is no dodging the result
All through life we keep on ex-
perimenting, and learn nothing
except from experience. The child
will not take his mothers word for
it that if he touches the hot stove
he will burn his fingers. He don't
know what burn" means. But he
finds out. He finds it out in the
same old way that father and
mother did years before.
We are all grown up children.

we are not convinced until 1--WE

diseased condition must be removed and
a healthy condition established before
the maternal function can be fulfilled.

to DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and
to its inventor Or. R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo,

heals liberation, checks the debilltatlng

In Three Dnvs.

Washington Has Not a Word From Pekin
in Three Days.
Washington, Especial. )---Sunday was the
third day passed here without a single line
Of news from any official source respecting
the critical situation in China.
Inquiries OF the cable companies showed
that she communications by wire with Pekin,
Taku, Tlentsin and all Northern China we're
suspended. The War Department received
the following message from the Western
Union headquarters at New York:
"The only news from the East is a notice
OF the interruption OF the Great Northern
lines between Blagowestchensk and Tschita,
which cuts off all communication with China
and Japan via that route"
The line referred to Is a land wire running
out OF Pekin TO Tschita, in the north, and
connecting with the Russian Siberian sys-
TEN. Thence land wires run through Korea
and by a short cable across to Nagasaki,
Japan
The Navy Department made another effort
is reach Rear-Admiral KempT, on his flag
ship Newark, at the Taku forts. cable
gram was addressed to the commander OF
the gunboat Yorktown, at ChefoO, the near
est treaty port to Talu, on the northern side
Of the shantung peninsula, repeating the
message indited to Admiral Kempff last
Thursday inqulring as TO his situation the
conditions at Pekln and his need for more
men and ships. The Yorktown's commander
was directed to take the message at once to
Taku and return with the answer. The de-
partment is now pretty well assured that the
original message never reached Admiral
Kempff.
Failing this effort resort will be speedily
had to other measures II word Is not re-
ceiyed from someone in authority 10 China
Just what course will be followed is not yet
determined. Admiral Remey, at Manila is
probably too far away from the scene--the
