The Delaware w. G. T. L. has de-
clared war on saloon keepers who are
not observing the screen law and keep
ers of cigar stores who are violating the
cigarette law. The matter was brought
up at the monthly meeting of the or
ganization which suddenly resolved
itself into and indignation meeting.
Earnest discussion took place. Mem
bers made the allegation that no effort
whatever was being made to enforce
the law prohibiting the sale of cigar
cites to boys under Il years and much
dissatisfaction was expressed.
The screen law was also discussed.
Members declared that apparently no
attempt was being made to enforce that
that law; that screens were used by a
large majority of the saloons to prevent
anyone from the outside getting a view
of the bar. Members said that the
temperance people had a hard fight at
the last Legislature to prevent the screen
law from becoming repealed and they
should now see that the law was strictly
enforced. 1t was the opinion of those
present at the meeting that steps ought
to be taken to see that both laws were
enforced, but especially the screen law.

MIX Food Forbidden in China

The Indian Lancet gives the fol-
lowing condensation of a proclama'
ton in the Loo Chow Herald:
Man should not rob animals of their
own proper food; and, of all animals,
the COW is the most valuable to man.
The sellers of milk blacken their
souls for gain; but those who drink
milk do so in the foolish belief that
1t is good for them. Before taking
any medicine we should carefully in
yestigate its properties, and who does
so in the case of milk? Milk is the
natural food of babes and of young
animals; but when adults drink it do
they thereby endanger the life of the
sucking calf, and arouse bitter resent
ment in the souls of the calf and its
mother? Beasts have not the power
of speech, and so cannot tell men that
by drinking cows milk they will be-
come like quadrupeds. II men must
have a strengthening draught, there
are a thousand better things than
milk, so why select that? Besides,
the term of life is fore-ordained and
it cannot be prolonged by drinking
milk.
Every one who reads this warning
is especially enjoined to abstain from
milk In the future. Children whose
parents will not allow them to drink
milk will not be stunted in growth,
but will have their lives prolonged
and be immune in epidemlcs. So 1t is
proclaimed in the Hall of Good Coun-
SELL

4 Special Fertilizer.

Gypsum seems to be a special fertil-
izer for clover and other legumlnous
plants. Its beneficial effects are more
but the same may be stated Of lime or
ready-mixed fertilizers, as conditions
and circumstances affect the uses of
all plant foods, but there is no fertil-
izer known that gives such excellent
results with so small a quantity of ma
terial used, and at so low a cost. 1t
can be purchased at less than half the
price of some fertilizers, and may be
used in smaller quantity. 1t is not
claimed that gypsum is a substitute
for complete fertilizer, for such is not
the case, but for supplying lime in a
soluble form to those plants into which
lime largely enters as an essential to
their growth it has no superior. In
every ton Of gypsum there Is a little
over 1000 pounds of lime. One thou
sand pounds of red clover hay contains
about t~wenty-eight pounds of lime and
five pounds of sulphuric acid. There
is about the same proportion of lime
IN Inc ueIu ISd' dhu hcuIig TWICE. as
much in alfalfa, while the tops of pota-
toes contain more lime than of any
other mineral matter. Turnips, car
rots and parsnips also contain fair pro.
portions, the leaves of turnips espe-
cially being rich in lime. 1t is true that
ordinary lime will supply the required
quantity, but not so quickly as will
plaster, and it may be added that 100
pounds of lime would hardly show any
effect. while the same quantity of plas-
ter would be ample for an acre. The
actual effect of gypsum on soils is not
SO apparent as for lime, because the
quantity of gypsum used is much less,
but it is known that. like all sulphates,
its chemical action on soils is such as
TO release much Of the inert plant food
that is beyond the capacity of the roots
of plants. 1t has also shown marked
benefit on corn and wheat, in some Zee.
