Taken with Cramps.

VIM. Kirmse, a member of the
bridge gang working near Littleport
was taken suddenly i'll Thursday
night with cramps and kind of
cholera. His case was so severe that
he had to have the members of the
crew wait upon him and Mr. Clifford
was called and consulted. He told
them he had a medicine in the form
of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought
would help linn out and accordingly
several doses were administered with
the result that the fellow was able to
be around next day. The incident
speaks quite highly of Mr.. Clifford S
medicines. -Elkader, Iowa, Argus.

The Chicken Mite.

One of the most troublesome pests
with which poultry growers have to
deal is the chicken mite, or chicken
tick as it is more properly called.
When flock becomes infested with
this parasite the egg production is
reduced and in many cases the profits
seriously curtailed BY the pest.
Matching hens and young chicks are
especially liable TO it's attacks. A
bulletin upon this subject by DR.. J.J.
Rerp, veterinarian of the Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station, has just been is
sued and may be had free by address
sing request to Prof. @. F. Curtiss,
Director of the Experiment Station,
Ames, Iowa. 1t contains information
that is of actual money value to those
who grow poultry either upon large
or small scale. The information is
based upon recent experiments in COM
batting the pest. Kerosene emulsion
is recommended and full directions
given for it's preparation and applica-
tion. The emulsion may be prepared
at home at cost of about 40 cents per
80 gallons. this amount being sufficient
to spray the ordinary farm hen-house
once. Altogether the bulletin is prac-
tical and helpful and by following its
directions owners of infested fiocks
can exterminate the pests and place
the flock upon paying basis.

This dispute between these 0repub-
lean leaders on the policy of the re-
publican party will probably lead to
further widening of the breach and
n the end will defeat the protection
they both declare they love so dear
ly. The thanks of the people are
1ue to Senator Vest not only for his
fight for free coal, which was forced
through by his clear cut statements
of the distress of the people, and the
iniquity of the tariff duty, but also
for his statement of the disputed
position of Mr.. Dingley on the reel
procity issue and the consequent eX-
posture of the skeletons mentioned
above. There would seem to be no
escape, by the reciprocity route, for
the republicans that believe in the
monopoly, for the proof is over
whelming that the rates of duty are
so high that even if the reciprocity
treaties, which are now held up in
the senate, were ratified the trusts
would still be sheltered and be MAX
ing the people pay an enormous tax
for the exclusive benefit of the
trusts. The leaders who control the
republican congress in both branches
are determined not to allow any re-
duction of the tariff rates that shell
ter the trusts and nothing but their
overthrow. at some coming election.
will give the people any relief. How
long this trust-sheltering tariff will
remain and the consumers of this
country be willing to pay more fer
trust products than the same goods
can be bought for in foreign coun-
tries, remains for the voters to an
Swer.
Must the lesson of the coal famine
be repeated in other necessities, be-
fore the people are aroused to &C
ton and will force the protectionists
to give way. as they have just done
by putting coal on the free list?

They Breed Socialism.

The chief teachers of socialism in
this country are those who have os-
tentatiously paraded their power I'M
der present conditions to conjure
enormous wealth from combinations,
from trusts. from water, from rail-
road discrimination. from legislative
favor. When people see vast corpor-
ations built up by secret contracts
with common. carriers in violation of
law, when they see other corpora
tions permitted by ill-adiusted tariff
duties to sell their goods here for so
much that it is profitable to purchase
abroad those same goods manufac-
tured here and freight them back. it
is no wonder that they grow discon-
tented. We firmly believe that a
plunge into socialism would be the ruin
of this country. It's salvation must
be found in free initiative and enter
prise as of old. Whatever seems to
large bodies of the people to trench
upon that freedom by granting special
privileges tends to provoke demands
for such regulation of equality as will
kill individualism and enterprise.-N.

Sea SIN oke.

One of the peculiar phenomena of
the Arctic regions is ''sea smoke"
Explorers tell of a steam as if from
a boiling kettle, which rises from the
water when the temperature is Is
degrees below zero. At 40 degrees
the snow and human bodies emit this
vapor, which changes into tiny icy
particles, which fill the air and make
a light noise like the rustic Of silk.
At 40 degrees tree trunks burst with
loud report, rocks break up and
streams of smoking water flow from
great cracks in the earth's surface,
knives break in cutting butter and
lighted cigars go out by contact with
the ice upon the beard. On some Of
the extreme cold days that prevail
in the northwestern states in winter,
the air seems to be full of fine ice,
which is probably the same phenom-
enon as that noted above.-Golden
