COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

The mention Of sulphur will recall
TO many Of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave US our

and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem

The Idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any
effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects Of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, 80 that single grain

Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-

The speaker, an ethnologist, sharp
ened his left forefinger with his right
forefnger as one sharpens a pencil.
That gesture means 'Shame!' Hiss
for shalne! I" he said. 1T means that
the world over. Use it ON a savage
woman in New Guinea or on the king
of England and both alike will UNDER
stand you"
He shook his fist.
That is a threat he said. THE
world over 1T is a threat"
Holding his forefinger a little to the
right of his face, he shook it,
"A warming" he said. Wherever
man exists, there the shaken fore
finger means a warning.
So he concluded, II could go on
indefinitely, giving you one by one
the signs that compose our universal
language. Since this language exists,
and since everybody understands it,
see no reason why new universal
languages should be continually in
vented. particularly since these new
ones are very difficult to learn"

WHAT MEN DIE OF.

The Popular Science Monthly for
July finds, from the special report of
the Census Bureau on the years 1900
1904, that the leading causes of death
for the people of the United States
are tuberculosis of the lungs and
pneumonia. The average annual NOR
tally from tuberculosis of the lungs,
or consumption, was 172.6 per 100000
it is much less than the rate in 1890,
when the figure was 245.4 per 100000.
The wider interest of the present de-
cade in the study of the cause and
cure of consumption is bound. it is be-
lieved, to give greatly improved
showing in 1910. BY that time, it is
believed, the rates can be reduced to
100 per 100000, if not lower. to say
nothing of the amelioration of the
condition of the afflicted.
The mortality from consumption in
the registration area in the United
States is higher than in England.
Wales. Scotland. Holland, Belgium or
Italy, but lower than in Ireland, Ger
many, Norway, Spain or Switzerland.
sSecond among the destructive diseases
was pneumonia, the average annual
rate being 1866 per 100000 of popu-
lation. 1t is re-eminently an urban
disease, the mortality being so per
cent higher in the cities than in the
rural districts. pneumonia is increas-
ingly prevalent and needs special pre-
caution. Heart disease ranks third
among our most destructive maladies
causing an average annual rate of
mortality in the registration area for
/ the five years under notice of 1903 per
100000 of population. The average
annual mortality from diarrhea and
Ienteritis was 1871 per 100000, of which
lS0 per cent were the deaths of child
Iren under and 65 per cent of child
iren under 1 year of age. The cities

III other words, the people have trad
ed off one set of bosses for 81 new
set.
And their last state is worse than
their first
The old bosses, of whom Quay was
type, gave out to their lieutenarts and
workers the cheap rewards OF polltical
place and petty graft. These bosses
have been superseded by railroad mag
mates and corporation managers VINO
contribute to campaign funds, who get
in return political favors, immunity,
special legislation.
The old style boss grated in retail.
The new style boss CRAFTS by whole
sale
The cheap returns of the old style
looter in politics was only mite COM
pared with the immense benefits de-
rived by the newer corporation boss.
Surely politics has changed. 1t is
now business matter. The new boss
cares nothing for the offices. EIe lets
the cheap man have them. He is after
financial returns
The new style of boss contributes 70
the campaign funds of both national
parties for purposes of protection
He is careful to provide, thru his
attorneys and agents that safe and
sane man shall be elected governor of
his state and that reasonable men,
are on the board of tax equalization.
And if he is in city politics he sees
to it that his public service corpora
ton shall own the mayor or the city
council.
The people have been little slow
to discover the new boss in politics.
The old boss fought in the open. The
new boss fights at his desk behind a
screen and it is more difficult to To-
cate him.
Evidences multiply, however, that
the people are getting their eyes open
to the new bossism.

FRENCH AND AMERICAN FARMING
ICedar Rapids Republican,
The American people boast OF thelf
agricultural wealth, but compared with
what France has been able to draw
from her limited soil, the Americans
have not yet made beginning. II the
French farmers had farms OF l6o or
GAO acres, what would they be able to
show the world. But 1T may be fof-
tunate that they do not have such
farms for expansion might lead TO
wastefulness and extravaganza ana
worthlessness, as it has SO often been
the case in America.
Ii is worth while for Americans TO
contemplate the things which nave
been brought out in France in order
that they may do less boasting and IN
order that they may apply themselves
more seriously to the problems that
really confront them We have made
a beginning in this country in the sci
entific and frugal treatment OF the SOIL,
and unless we are able to complete that
work saving and outstanding and en-
larging instead of impoverishing our
resources, we shall end in being a poor
ana miserable people, in spite of all the
advantages that benign providence
has scattered thru this land OF ours.

THE REVOLUTION OF THE FARM

THE REVOLUTION Of HE AIM
burlington Hawkeye.l
While everything, or almost every
thing on earth, is supposed to work
toward a higher stage of development
nv the slow and tortuous process or
evolution, there are always exceptions
to the rule. Thus the past fifty years
have witnessed, not evolution, but rev.
olution in farming. For countless ages
prior to the Introduction OF labof-saV-
ing machinery, the soil had been urged
to yield meager returns to the sweat
and toll of the husbandman in an al
most unvarying way. The wheat was
sown. harvested and threshed IN the
first half of the nineteenth century
lust about the same way as 1t was
when the pyramids were built and
when Homer walked among men anu
recited his immortal poetry. People had
some crude notions about irrigation,
about fertilizers, but the men of sci
ence never dreamed of turning their
attention to the plebian pursuit of ag-
riculture. Perhaps poet sang the
praises of the simple life beneath his
own vine and fig tree, for in all ages
the noet has been looked upon as
phanta site, unpfacllcdl, lHoouS sui VI
a fellow. And thus, the farmer was
left to himself. and If there was any
evolution in his work it was so very
slow as to be almost imperceptable
and II required centuries to make 1T
apparent
And then about fifty years ago, the
inventor began studying the possible
ties of machinery as applied to farm
ing, and the chemist and the botanist
and dozen other scientists began to
interest themselves in the production
of the worlds food. And today the
whole business or occupation of farm
ing has been absolutely revolutionized.
There are Improvements. radical
changes in everything that is done on
the farm Formerly farming was done

soil as his father and his grand father
had titled it, and was content to con-
tinue that way, until the man with the
machine came along and aroused him,

Horse or Motor Car?

-B. Bradley in Butte Inter Mountain.
Open the auto folder. let me consider
awhile.
I'm thinking of buying a bubble, built
in the latest style;
One of those touring monsters running
by gasoline,
Heavy and swift and mighty, simply
a grand machine;
I'd like to make the purchase; this is
what makes me 10th,
It's either n horse or a bubble, L can
not afford them both.
A bubble all paint and lacquer, reek-
ing of oil and fire,
Modelled in steel and iron, something
you cannot tire,
Or my good. old, faithful comrade, my
beautiful living steed
Who knows my voice when l call him,
who never has failed my need;
Over the steepest passes, out on the
lonest range,
He's always been ,staunch and loyal,
why should my fealty change?
Why should sell my servant into a
strangers hands,
For the sake of a hundred bubbles of
different makes and brands?
Can a bubble Whitney It's pleasure
whenever you wander near?
Can bubble show affection with eyes
that are brown and clear?
Will a monster of lifeless matter
search In your riding clothes
For bits of sugar or candy, nuzzling
you with it's nose?
Can you feel its muscles gather. roll in
a satin skin,
AS you ride in an army saddle, gal
looping on like sin?"
Can you lie beside your auto out in the
evenings chill
Using its warmth for comfort, feeling
it's warm blood thrill?
AS you SIluSSle close W your Coiii due
under the starlit sky.
Feeling as tho a mortal-not, just
brute-was by?
A bubble is big and handsome. it's
strength is giants strength,
You can run it along like lightning,
you can push it to any length.
But there's nothing alive about 1t. 1T
runs by power alone.
While horse q have learned and
know iD horse has soul of its
own.
A soul that is true and loyal, a soul
that is clean and white,
And bePg of that description 10
worth all the cars in sight!
Open the auto folder-but wait bit
it's no use,
I'll keep my horse while he's living, the
bubble can go to the deuce
And this is the reason offer, my final
choice to defend.
A bubble is only a bubble, but horse
"a horse is a Friend.
