The Inevitable End.

Information comes to us that
the "Mary L" poultry plant at
Sydney, o., has gone cut of bus
mess as far as the Matching and
rearing of poultry goes, and
what business it is now doing is
in machine feeding and selling
market stuff.
This plant was established
nearly ten years ago by man
who seems to have thought he
knew more about poultry by in
tuition than all the poultrymen
in the world had learned by ex
perience. He had money in
plenty to keep the plant going
until he could no longer deceive
himself as to the failure of his
ideas, and as his schemes were
full of sensational features, there
were not wanting editors who
would exploit his place for its inn
mediate news value to them.
From time to time in the last
four years we have called atten-
ton to some of the most glaring
inconsistencies in statements
about what was doing at this
plant, and have cautioned our
readers not to put too much con-
fidence in stories of wonderful
things being done there. 1t would
be quite in keeping with what
has been if the change should be
used to advertise machine meth
DDS of feeding, and readers who
may be disposed to be influenced
by such an argument would do
well to keep the facts in mind

PARIS SCHOOL o
Plan for Sending Youngsters to the
Country for a Breath of Real Air.

In Harper's Magazine for September,
Stoddard Dewey tells of a fresh-air
colony run by the municipality of Paris
for the poor school children of certain
districts;
when May days are warm in Paris"
says Mr.. Dewey, " a spring fever seizes
on the primary school children of the
Eleventh ward. In each school the di-
rector passes among the boys and the
dlrectress among the girls, taking
names and looking carefully at faces.
The question is, which of the 5000 chill
dren between 10 and Is years Of &
shall make part of the 1000 who, In
patches of 200, are to be sent to the
country, far away toward the Vosges
mountains, for three weeks stays, from
June to September?
Neither the class record of the chill
dren nor even the conduct, good, bad,
or Indifferent, is taken into account.
And-oh, irony of Paris school child
fate!-it is not the best scholars that
are to have the first chance. 1t Is the
dull, the backward, and the ailing that
are to profit by the first migration in
late spring and early summer; the
bright and forward must wait until
they have won their school prizes in
late July.

Cincinnati Enquire: Hoop Bros. who
own a Touring mill at GAINESVILLE. o.. were
asked by phone * they used buhrstones
In grinding their grain. They replied in
the affirmative. Shortly after a richly
gowned woman appeared and said she
had telephoned. With her was a baby
boy. aged about 3 months. She offered
the explanation of her visit by stating
that an aged woman friend had told her
that IL an infant child was placed In a
hopper beneath which a buhrstone was
running for a few minutes the child
would never have the whooping cough.
The mother and babe were ushered to
a hopper almost full Of corn. beneath
which a buhrstone was grinding away,
and, regardless of the dust and dirt that
was rising, lifted her baby over the side
of the hopper and sat the little tot in
upon the corn. For a few minutes the
baby sat there and cooed and crooned In
glee, dipping it's fingers In the corn and
letting the grain trickle between It's
chubby fingers with apparent satisfac-
ton. Then the mother rescued her baby
from Its playground, entered her carriage
and drove away.

An Annual OUTRAGE.

Harper'sWeekly: A pitiful record Is the
annual list Of children dead OF lockjaw,
as a result of using toy pistols on the
Fourth of July. The injury Is always the
same. The Internal pistols shoot frag-
ments of paper into the children's hands.
The wounds are trlfing as wounds, but
their tendency to produce lockjaw is very
terrible. Five ~haphazard dispatches in
a newspaper, all dated July 10, tell Of
three deaths thus caused near Water
town, New York; three In central Massa-
chusetts; eight in Cleveland, and add
fourteen names to the death list by lock-
jaw in Michigan. The ages of the chill
dren-all OF them boys-range from . to
10. What the death list is for the whole
country from this cause does not appear,
but it is evident hat there is a wanton
and cruel waste of young life from q con-
temptible cause. That manufacturer
should make these deadly toys, legisla-
tors allow their manufacture, and parents
permit their use, is astonishing.

Suicide Amono Doctors,

ond Chronicle: Suicide among ply
sicians Is notably on the increase in Eng
land. The reason is not far to seek. 1t
has recently been shown that a doctor
who might calculate on an income of over
$1,000 n few years ago can count today,
in corresponding circumstances, on only
something over $500. The simple causes
of this are two: First, and most import
ant, the increased health Of the country at
large, and the Diminishing death rate. The
medical profession, as a matter Of fact,
is working In these days Of preventive
medicine in the direction of its W ex-
tinction.
When the last anopheles mosquito, for
instance, is killed, and malaria passes into
history, most Of the doctors of the tropics
may pack up their baggage and depart.
Another cause Is In the multiplication Of
the universities to whose interest 1t is TO
turn out as many graduates as possible,
an the increasing competition which en-
sues. And again, the hospitals are daily
being used more and more by people who
can afford TO pay.

Young. the 1~0-year-old son of Lester
Young, of this place, is a bright boy.
and one who is very well liked by all
who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered
a great deal with a form of Kidney
Troubleywhich was very annoying, and
which made him miserable all the
time, He had to get up three or four
tmrss every night, almost all his life.
~ His father heard Of n remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought some
for the little fellow, with the result
that he is now completely cured of the
old trouble. He says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief, and now l can sleep all
might without having to get up. We
will always praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should be promptly
corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills is a
safe and sure remedy for all such de-
arrangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made n well boy Of him
self, by using Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and any n may do the same by the
same means.
Parents should see to 1t that their.
children are given a fair chance in
HE, and there is nothing that can I'M
dermine the health of a growing child
as much as Kidney and Urinary de-.
engagements.

A Unique Western City.

Leslie's Weekly: In some particulars
Cincinnati has ar especial distinction
among western cities. N literary
capital Of all the country on the Allie
ghanies' sunset side in the old days,
it is still n center Of great culture and
refinement. Music and the arts, melted
largely at the outset by the great num-
Der OF Highly educated Germans who
settled there, are supported in it to a
larger extent than in any other west
ern community. In proportion to popu-
lation the number of books published
and the number read there are par
ticularly large.
Cincinnati has always been a leader
in the great social movements of the
country. In her Lane Theological SEM
mary, back in 1882, under the presi-
dency of Lyman Beecher, was founded
the first anti-slavery society establish
ed in the west, and when in 1893 the
conservative trustees voted that slavery
agitation was improper In a religious
college there was q secession from
Lane, the seceders, under the lead of
Theodore D.. Weld, going up to Oberlin
and giving prestige n success to the
school just established there, which
was the first educational institution
opened to both sexes and all races and
colors that the world saw.
Ci%ncinnati's Salmon p. Chase was one
of the founders of the liberty party of
1904, which was a ~progenitor Of the
republican party of Lincoln and Nc
Kinley. With her William Henry Har-
rison (ninth president of the United
States), Jacob Burnet, George II. PEN
dleton, Chase and Joseph b.. Foraker.

tributed many powerful TO

Cincinnati has been a potent force in

ART OF REST
May BE- Acquired and Used with Great
Benefit.

Complete and rectful poise Of the body
and mind is an art not easily gained.
Perhaps nothing brings one as much
content, comfort, happiness and pleasure
as those conditions of easy, ~restful, re-
sourceful and well-balanced mind and
body, that make of work a pleasure and
the daily life happy and peaceful.
The nervous housewife busy with q
hundred duties and harassed by children;
the business man, worried with the press
of daily affairs, debts, etc, cannot enjoy
che peace and restful repose and health
full nervous balance unless they know
how.
There is a way. First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving off coffee absolutely, for
the temporary stimulant and the result
ing depression is a sure ruin to the ner-
Vous system, and the whole condition of
health and happiness rests upon stomach,
nerves and mind.
Start with the stomach, that is the
keystone to the whole arch. Stop using
things that break down its power, upset
its nervous energy and prevent the
proper digestion of the food and the con-
segment manufacture of healthful blood
and nerves, brain and tissues.
When you quit coffee take on Postum
Food Coffee. That is like stopping the
payment of interest and starting on a
career where you are loaning money and
receiving interest. The good results are
double. You stop poisoning the system
with coffee and start building up the
broken down nerve cells by powerful
elements contained in Postum. These
are pure food elements ably selected by
experts for the purpose Of supplying
just the thing required by Nature to per-
form this rebuilding.
These are solid, substantial facts and
can be proven clearly to the satisfaction
of anyone, by personal experience. Try
the change yourself and note how the
old condition of shattered nerves and
worried mind changes TO that feeling of
restful poise Of a we'll balanced nervous
system.
The managing physician of a hygienic
sanitarium In Indiana says that for five
years in his practice he has always in
sisted upon the patients leaving off coffee
and taking Postum Food Coffee with the
most positive, well defined results and
with satisfaction to the most confirmed
coffee topper.
