If Nebraska is to continue in first
class financial condition, especially
in the rural districts the farmers and
townspeople will have to cease their
contributions to the fakirs and con-
fidence men who will willingly take
a generous share of the states pros
perity and cash and give not a thing
in return. incidentally in a legitimate
business way Nebraska should keep
all the money, possible at home, which
can be done by patronizing home
merchants, home manufactures and
home enterprises. Dollars that are
sent to the Chicago and New York de-
partment stores may never again be
counted in Nebraska's cash balance
and to the credit of the banks. AS
long as the money is in the state it
can be counted as a portion of the
finance of the state and the chances
that it will again return to the hands
OF the farmers are about ten times as
good as they would be if sent out of
the state at first hand. To be main.
tanned as a state with money and
credit it will be necessary for the peo-
pie to exercise wise judgement in the
disposition of the money at their dis
posal, and it is not wise judgement to
send it out of the state for things that
can be bought at home

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Healthy and Prolific stalk OF indian
Corn Grows without the Aid
of Any Soil.

1t would surprise a Massachusetts,
farmer to see a healthy prolific stalk
Of Indian corn growing from vessel
Of clear water, but such a spectacle is
now often presented at the Harvard
botanical gardens, says the Boston
Advertiser For years Prof Goodale
has been experimenting with different
plants and different chemical sub
stances to determine just what part
they play in the necessary nourish-
ment of plant life, and it is a result
OF these experiments that plant
growths can be made to flourish with
their roots entirely submerged in wa
ter, without the least particle of soil.
Or course, this knowledge cannot yet
be applied to commercial purposes di-
rectly, but it is applied indirectly by
the farmer who learns what chemical
agents are valuable as fertilizers or
stimulants to plant life.
Indian corn has been mentioned as
an illustration because it has been the
most conspicuous, but there are in
Vulnerable vegetables and even shrubs
and trees which thrive in water which
has deposit of certain chemical sub
stances, such as chloride of potash,
sulphate Of magnesia, phosphate of
iron, phosphate of potassium and some
OF the nitrates. With the use Of these
1t has often been found that plant
VIII grow, even though the water IN
which its roots rest may be partly
frozen The chemical elements are
just as active, and the growth shoots
upward in its natural manner.

WHY CIGARS COME UNROLLED
They Get Twisted in One Direction
in the Factory and in Another
by Smokers.

1T is an everyday occurrence to hear
men complain Of poorly made cigars, .
said a well-known tobacconist one day
last week in discussing the matter with
one OF his patrons, according to the Phil
adelphia Record 1T is not always be-
cause a cigar is indifferently or badly
made that the wrapper curls up and
comes of. Very much oftener this comes
from the cigar having been rolled by a
makers left hand and later smoked from
the hand Of a right-handed man.
"All cigarmakers must use both
hands equally well. and economy, both
in time and material, is the prevailing
rule in the tobacco factories. When a
piece of tobacco is cut from the wrap
per it is cut on the bias, and rolled from
left to right on the filler, and at the
same time by the other hand the remain
ing pieces are used being necessarily
rolled in the opposite way For this
reason the man who holds a cigar in his
right hand, which always receives a few
twists during the course of a smoke,
rubs the wrapper the wrong way, and
easily enough it becomes loosened."

paign Of conquest and of benevolent
assimilation. Where the tramp de-
clines to be benevolently assimilated
into decent self-respecting society he
is going to be eliminated, either by inn
prisonment or by starvation, by round
Ing him up or by making things so un-
pleasant for him by cutting him of
from his base of supplies and inter-
fering with his transportation facili-
ties that he will be forced to see the
error of his ways and forsake them.
So the knell Of the tramp is sound
ing. Men tramps, women tramps, girl
tramps and boy tramps are to go,
never to return. System and cooper
atiye governmental science is to make
an end Of the 'yeggs" and the peter
men" the "gaycat and "panhandlers,"
the "foppers," ''throwouts" and 'jock-
ers." The railroads, acting in con-
junction with the mendicancy police
forces in the cities, which are under
the control Of the organized charity
associations, are going to close the
lines of communication. Tramps will
not be able to move about. They will
be kept under the eye and control Of
the charity organization societies and
the police in the big cities. AS they
drift in from the smaller towns and
the road" where they have been beg
ging and pilfering, insulting and
frightening women and children, and
committing all sorts Of small crimes
and depredations, they will be gath
cred up by the police and the charity
society organizations working together.
There is to be in all the big cities
a special force Of police to look after
them-a mendicancy police, working
In cooperation with the local organized
charity association. And between the
big cities there is to be another spe-
cial force Of police to look after them
the railroads are seeing to that.
They are going to keep him off their
lines altogether. They are driven to It
n self-defense. For years tramps have
been derailing cars. tampering with
switches burning bridges, robbing and
Killing lonely towermen and station
agents in out-of-the-way places.
rramps are to be kept in the cities.
They will not travel to any great ex-
ent along country roads. That means
and walking is hard work.
