Freedom.

Why seek to force your rules on me
And why should set bounds for you?
The Joys find you may not see
Along the pathways may pursue
Let me be free to go my way,
And you find Joy as best you can,
As long as we may truly say
We work no wrong to any man.
Be happy, and let me be glad.
Youth your way and in mine;
And let the mad world deem us mad,
And let the little dogs go whine!
Let me be happy In my way,
And you find Joy as best you can;
Be tragic, If you please, or gay.
So that you wrong not any man.

The scarecrow,s CompIaint.

The farmers daughter fixed me up
Twas really quite sin:
My hat is down clear Ger my eyes
/ haven't any chin.
My arms are sticking right out straight
] scorn this ragged coat:
My trousers-this is worst Of all
Are fastened round my throat.
Alas-that cruel farmers girl
Her heart is hard and bad;
She brings her beaux to look at me-
And giggles just like mad.

For the fragile flow'rets bloom.

The Hnppie.t Heart.

The happiest heart is simple.
None dares to call It wise;
1t sees the beauty of its life
With frank and truthful eyes;
1t has knack of loving,
1t has trustful way
Oh, what a foolish heart Is this,
The worldlier people say!
The happiest heart is childlike,
1t never quite grows old;
It sees the sunsets splendor
As 1t saw the dawning's gold;
1t has gift of gladness,
It's dreams die not away
Oh, what a foolish, happy heart,
The worldlier people say!

tiers to determine their relation to di.
gestion and health, and to establish
the principles which should guide their
use, says that from a discussion OF
this matter the general public is like
ly to think there is no pure food to be
obtained in the United States. Moth.
ing, it is said on good authority, could
be farther from the truth than this.
In fact, most of the goods offered for
sale In our markets are perfectly pure
and wholesome. Less than five per
cent. of the purchase from reliable
firm would be found to be adulterated.
"But," says DR.. Wiley, with ao,ooo,Ooo
wage-earners in this country, who
spend three-fourths of the $25,000,000
a day earned by them for food and Its
preparation, too much attention can
not be given to the subject. All adul.
tsrants are not harmful, and If the
workman wants to buy oleomargarine,
labeled as such, because it is cheaper,
he should be allowed that pleasure. In
the same manner, he should be given
glucose instead of honey if he wants 1t,
and is not deceived in the buying. If.
some esthetic folks care more for the
delicate green tint of their peas and
such other vegetables than they do for
the good of their digestive organs, they
should be humored with the dose of
zinc and copper salts that is required
to give it, but every can should be Ia
beled as containing zinc and copper
salts, as well as peas, so others, who
do care, may avoid it. In fact, it is
only when the law compels a merchant
to sell goods with the name of adulter-
ant. preservative and coloring matter
used in putting up the goods printed in
plain letters on the label that this traf.
fc can be stopped. Allow people to
know what they are getting, as pro-
lection to the innocent, and the others
can choose for themselves"

A Meadow SONG.

A Meadow Song.
The wind across the meadow blows
And all the grass is like sea;
Wave after wave Its green tide flows,
And breaks in fragrance over me.
Above. the bright-winsed butterfly
Flutters upon an aimless quest,
And now and then from out the sky
A weary bird drops down to rest.
There is no sound save of the grass.
The whispers of the waves long sweep;
Listen and hear them as they pass
A murmur-Hush-a murmur-Slssp.

According to scientific investiga-
lions directed from Washington for
Leprosy In the several m n S,
there are at least
275 cases of leprosy
in the United States. That number
have been reported, but it is thought
probable that the real number is near
er thousand. For various reasons,
physicians who have cases of this dis
ease in many instances fail OF refuse
to report them. But the number re-
ported is sufficiently large to occasion
some alarm. Seventy-four of the
known cases are in New Orleans, chief
lyamong the Italian population. There
are % in Minnesota, mostly among
Scandinavians in the rural settlements.
There are Is cases in North Dakota,
same people. So far as has been as
certains6. there are none in Michigan
or in Indiana; Chicago has five cases,
New York six. Boston none. The fig
ureS now compiling represent great
deal OF careful work. \ circular letter
was sent from here TO every city and
county physician. every health officer,
every responsible head of hospital,
in the country. 1t called for volunteer
information covering cases of leprosy
in the community in question; the
name of the hprous person, the sex,
age, social condition, place of residence
whether town or country-and name
OF attending physician. In ALL 5000 of
these letters have gone out; replies
have thus far been received from only
1000 of them. There may be several
times 275 cases in the 5000 districts
from which thus far no replies have
come. It is the intention of those who
are compiling the figures to make
report to congress, including such rec
concentrations as may seem warrant
ed One Recommendation will be for
the erection of two large government
hospitals for lepers, one in the south
and the other in the north. Eminent
physicians have at different times been
before committees of congress in the
interest of the erection of leper hos
pitfalls, but nothing came of these Wis
its, the government having no reliable
data covering the prevalence of the
disease. Next winter, however, with
full information on the subject, it is
believed that congress will act prompt
~. 1t is noteworthy, observes the New
York Post, that nearly all the PTS re-
ported victims are foreigners. The
Scandinavians seemed peculiarly sus-
ceptible to the disease. They either
had it when they landed in America, or
contracted it soon after landing.
Every one of the cases in the Dakotas
and Minnesota is in the country, ia ther
remote even from the small towns.
The disease seems to be spreading
most rapidly in Louisiana, and for sew
eral years there has been agitation
there in favor of effective public super
vision and control of all leprous pa
TENTS, either by the state or by the fed
eral government.
