All Loses to Be Paid.

II was announced some time ago that
all insurance upon losses in the recent
San Francisco disaster will be paid,
and this assurance will do much to-
ward restoring confidence in the fu-
ture If you have lost your good health
through neglect or carelessness, we
would urge you TO try a few doses of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters. 1t is ac-
knowledged to be the best medicine,
not only to restore your health, but to
insure it for all future time. A few
doses now and then will aid nature
wonderfully in keeping all of the or
gans in proper working order. This is
proven by its 53 years record of cures
of such ailments as poor appetite,
belching, blOating, headache, dyspepsia,
indigestion, biliousness, cramps, diar-
rhoea, female ills or malaria. Take a
supply on your vacation to counterfeit
the i'll effects of strange eating and

An Apt Suggestion.

The Washington Post, a great friend
or President Roosevelt. says: 1T IS
expected that the department of JUS
tice will prosecute the coal roads as
vigorously as the Santa Fe was prose
cuted." Precisely, Harmon and Jud-
son, who had been employed as spe-
cial counsel 20 prosecute the Santa Fe,
were dismissed because they really
wanted TO prosecute it: and Paul Nor
ton. who had been a party TO the vio-
lation of law charged against the Santa
Fe, was put in the cabinet, and with
fine coat of whitewash from the
presidents brush, was put at the head
of a life insurance company.
The Post should have added that the
president will prosecute the coal trust
as vigorously and effectively as he
prosecuted the beef trust; and will
probably reprimand Charles E. Hughes
and the courts for the miscarriage Of
Justice" for the same reason that he

Boston Globe: Many of the most

Gapes in Chickens.

That dreadful disease, the gapes, de-
stroys many, many chicks every year.
1t is not really disease, for the chick
is not what we might call sick, but it
gradually becomes weakened and eX-
hausted from the frequent yawnlng or
gaping, until its vitality is gone and
soon it is no more.
Gapes are caused by small parasites
lodging in the trachea, or windpipe of
the chick. Most of these worms are
fork shaped, although straight ones
are sometimes found. They hatch in
damp ground or water and are found
by the chicks and swallowed. Perhaps
q hlrd may swallow only one worm,
= short time it multiplles and
mes we may find n dozen worms
throat at one time.
en- a flock is infested there are
al ways of getting rid of the pests,
lat is, If they are given attention as
soon as the disease is discovered. AS
soon as possible separate the sick from
the well ones and apply remedy; if
one fails, try another
is noticed, a small bit of camphor gum,
or three or four drops of turpentine
mixed in a pint of soft food will gen
orally effect cure. Another, is to dip
a feather in the prepared camphor or
turpentine, run it down the chicks
throat, give a sharp turn to remove,
and quite often the worm will cling to
the feather.
The fumes of burning carbollc acid
is another very good remedy. Fasten
screen about the middle of barrel
on box. Put the chicks on the screen,
then put a few drops of the acid on
n red-hot shovel and set In the lower
half of the box or barrel: as the smoke
arises and fills the upper half where
the chicks are, watch them very care
fully, as it is liable to suffocate them
IL kept in too long. sulphur may be
used in the same way with good sue
cess.
Instead of doctoring let us strive to
prevent this disease; quite often it is
through our own careessness that this
trouble comes. Gapes are seldom found
where the fowls have good food and
pure water, and where cleanliness
about the house and runs is strictly
obseryed.-M. ID. H., in the Indiana
Farmer.
Be very careful IN the use of sui
phur, as it will suffocate very quick

Trouble comes in this work when
there is improper handling the first
time the colt is shod, so that before the
colt is taken to the blacksmith for the
first time he should be prepared for
shoeing by handling his legs in such
n careful manner that he is not to be
harmed. The rule invariably is to take
the colt to the blacksmith first This
is a poor plan. We have found the
following method to be an excellent
one in preparing the most vicious colts
for shoeing:
Tie long strap around the colts
neck, passing it along the near side and
between the hind legs, bringing it to
fit close to the body; then pass it un-
der the strap which is around the neck
then tighten up the strap gradually,
holding the colt by the bride. The
colt will probably pull little, but
speak to him kindly. When he has be-
come accustomed TO the strap, lower it
to point just above the hook and
gradually pull up the strap until you
have lifted the leg, at the same time
pull back or to the side on the bride
to keep him from stepping ahead; then
take the leg in your hand. The same
thing can be done with the other leg,
and after the process has been gone
through several times you will be sur
prised to find how easy it is TO lift
any of the colts legs.-Amerlcan Cul-
tiyator.

While rye is not considered all that
is desirable as a cover crop it certainly
is far better than to allow the soil to
remain uncovered all winter. We have
found great benefits in sowing rye after
harvesting the last potato crop, and
especially on the fields that are sandy.
We take pains, however, to fertilize
the soil before sowing the rye, realiz-
ing that it has little manurial value,
but, on the other hand, must take some
plant food from the soil for its support.
The main value of the rye is in the
fact that the soil is kept open by hav-
ing this growth on it, hence obtains
and holds certain quantity of mois-
ture which will be needed the follow
ing summer by the growing crops.
What will be done with the crop il
the spring must be decided by condi-
tions. 1t may be desirable to feed it
to stock, but if this is not necessary
and the soil on which it grew is lack
ing in humus it would be most desira-
BILE to plow it under in the spring to
benefit the next crop in the rotation
no matter what it may be. In any
event, have some sort of cover crop
for the soil and conserve the foods in
it rather than let them be destroyed
to greater or less extent by the ele
ments.-Indlanapolis News.

A Love-controiIed Life.-John 4.
1901

A Love-controlIed LNe.-John a..
1921.
The highest ideal of the Christian
life Is attainment through service
ITO every man his work.
For service there must be power
Gods work will not do itself. Wishing
will not do It. Praying win not do 1t,
though prayer Will, for real prayer has
the power promised to It.
The power must be adequate. He
who would meet the need Of the world
has a large task. The worlds forces
are insufficient and unfit. Legisla-
tion is a cure-all, with record of
widespread failure behind 1t. Com
petition is not even the life of trade
any longer Emulation Is merely
rather less Objectionable form of
strife. Selfishness brings some things
to pass. but it does not help men. All
forces are too feeble. too fitful, and
they cannot be geared on to the task
of serving the world and satisfying
mems need. There is no way to adj
just them to that sort of work.
IL is in the new commandment of
Christ that the worlds greatest force
is found: Love one another as
have loved you" That is the test
of the Christian. Lowest thou me?"
Then prove 1t.
Love is the stuff of which the Chris.
tian life is made. There are gifts,
great and blessed. The parable of
the talents has abundant application
to Christians. Seek eagerly the best
oil nt,4 II
the talents, and the supreme grace
is love.
Love is of God. It is Gods normal
attitude toward man. The first pur-
pose of God in creation, and his later
purpose in redemption. both grow
out of his love. 1t is the great, cen
trail, administering motive of God
Whatever cannot stand the love-test
is not divine. All the darker things
we relate to Gods person and activity
must be related to love in some way,
or they do not belong to God. Retri-
button, judgment, the divine displeas-
ure, are all to be understood in the
light of the love of God. They are
tremendously real, just because they
have this vital relationship to love.
There Is no wrath like "the wrath of
the Lamb" which is love trying to
express itself, and being restrained
by sin.
The things which are unlovely are
not of God. Take the opposites of the
virtues ascribed to love by Paul in his
great love-hymn, and name them one
by one. They are all of the devil
Unkindness, impatience, arrogance,
rudeness, discord, ambition. suspicion.
deception-all have on them the mark
of evil.
The new life in Christ is a life
Of righteousness. There Is no di-
vorcing of love from holiness. But
there is no need for it. Love is the
fulfilling Of the law. We see crimes
and vice and misdemeanors, but they
are not the essence of sin. They are
but symptoms. the real sin is back
of them, in the heart where no love
is. Who loves needs no law, for he
is under a higher law. knowledge
is a shifting quantity. We measure
social progress by the repeal of old
laws. We measure intellectual pro-
gross by the discardrng of old
knowledge. We measure spiritual
progress by the discovery of new
channels for love. Love Is never old
fashioned never antiquated, never
shamed by the advance of the
worlds civilization.
