WHICH is THE BEST FOR A BOY

WHICH is THE BEST FOR A BOY
You have a nice bright boy and
honestly desire to do as well as
possible by him. We will suppose
that you are that kind of father
who will cheerfully give this boy a
start in life when he leaves you at
the age of twenty-one to the
amount OF $1,000. In doing this you
give him what is called a common
school education, such as may be OBJ
tained at your country district
school, and he stays and helps you
on the farm until he is Of age. Now
we want to ask you if this is the best
thing that you can do for this boy of
yours. Suppose you take that 81, 900
and invest it in a good modern
education for your boy and turn him
out at twenty-one with such educa-
tion and no money. We are going to
assume that this education shall be
along agricultural lines and that
when he leaves you he will. take up
farming as business. Agriculture
has within few years been lifted
up from a happy go-lucky,s hit-and-
go-mlss business into a profession, a
business demanding the trained
mind and expert SKILL. Your hoy
thus equipped is infinitely better off
than would be with the $1,000 and
the limited education which went
with it. A three years course at
one OF our agricultural colleges is one
OF the very best investments you can
make for your boy - Think this
matter over.-Ex.

Some Temperance Loqic.

We Otter hear man say, @If I
want to drink it is no business of the
public" At first that sounds reason
able. 1t would seem that man has
a right to spend his own money to
suit his own taste and abuse his own
stomach if he wants to do so. But
when you look around at the mental,
financial and physical. wrecks caused
by whisky, wrecks which the public
must care. for and support then it
looks different. Honor bright, now,
don't you believe the public has some
right to say how man shall spend his
own money if in spending it he is
likely to bring himself and family to
want? nt?-Mankato, Kan, Advocate.

FOR THE STUDY OF ALCOHOL.
Physicians Unite for the Study Of Al.
cohoI and Other Narcotics.

Something like 200 Of the more
prominent physicians in this country
are banded together in an organiza-
tion for the study of alcohol and
Other Narcotics" The society has
led the world in the investigation Of
this important portion of medical
science. The leading spirit is DR.. S. d.
Crothers, of Hartford, Conn, who has
attained wide celebrity as an expert
IN the treatment of alcoholic and mar
cotic disease, who serves as secretary
and as editor of thir well-known quar-.
terly, Journal of Inebrity, now pub
lished in this city. The president is
Prof. w. S. Hall, of our Northwestern
university; and DR.. H. o. Marcy, Of
this city, is honorary president. DR..
T. H. McNicholl, New York Meth
odist, is one of the vice presidents
The society met in New York city
during the past week for it's thirty
fourth annual session. Important pa
pers were presented by experts on
various phases of the topics involved.
Prof. Hall, in the annual address,
treated 'The Influence of Narcotics
upon Metabolism," and brought out a
new definition of alcohol, calling it "a
protoplasmic poison" DR.. Marcy, in
luminous paper, discussed "The In
fuence of Inebrity in Railroad Acct
dents;'" DR.. J.. H. Kellogg spoke on
"The Effects of Alcohol on Digestion; .
DR.. L. D. Mason, of BROOKLYN. on "The
Psychic Treatment of Inebriates;;" and
DR.. Crothers on 'tThe Teachings of Al
cohol in School Books. Other impor-
tant papers were given by others. It
is encouraging to find a band of
Christian physicians, occupying the
highest rank in scientific scholarship,
studying and writing on such sub
jects as those discussed at the Boston
meeting.-Zion's Herald.

In recent notable sermon on
"Why the Masses in New York Are
Poor" Rev. DR.. Madison G. Peters
said: 1T is estimated that New York
spends $1,000,000 day for liquor,
most of it bad, which amounts to
more than half as much as the amount
required to run the entire government
Of the United States. The annual
drink bill of New York Is more than
the entire amount received for tariff.

which Thaw displayed the night he

The net result of the day appeared
to be that Mr.. Jerome is still laying
the foundation upon which he may
ask for commission in lunacy to

OF the defendant. Even to the extent
of greatly fatiguing the judge and

The simple barbarism Of primitive
man made each individual almost
wholly independent of his fellows,
except as they might have to unite
for defense against attack from a
common enemy. Modern society
presents an entirely differente con-
dition. Independence has been
succeeded by Inter-dependence. The
complex conditions of modern life
make the Individual more and more
dependent on his fellow men. This
increases the necessity for full re-
cognition of the obligations of each
to the all. 1t likewise increases the
necessity for a clearer recognition Of
the benefits that each derives from
the all. The things without which
life in the country in these enlight-
ened days would be a dreary exis-
tence-roads, schools, churches,
libraries, electric-cars, telephones,
rural free delivery, and everything
that combines to make up the social
life-especially in the smaller cities,
towns and villages within reach of
farm homes, cannot be enjoyed un-
less the community co-operates to
create and maintain them.
Hence the community as a whole,
in SO far as it's relations to all these
things necessary for enjoyment as a
community are concerned, must be
treated as one entire and indivisible
social organism. Anything that in
creases it's strength and wealth and
the number of the people composing
it, increases in a like degree it's
power to serve the wants and needs
of all as community.
Consequently everything that can
be done by every member of the COM
munity to promote it's general pros
perity and healthy growth and i'm
provement should be done from a
purely selfish standpoint, if from no
other. Each member of necessity
participates in the increased property
values, Increased prosperity and
general wealth and increased social
and educational advantages.
This is true of the dwellers in the
adjacent country, on the farms, just
as much as Of those living in the
midst of the town that is the center
of social activity for the entire Sec
tion. The spirit of cooperation and
mutual helpfulness for the common
benefit in which all must participate
should include the farmers as we'll as
the town dwellers. The isolation and
deadly monotony of the old farm life
has filled the insane asylums with
farmers wives and driven countless
thousands of young men and women
away from the old farm home to
failure and a life OF unhappiness and
disappointment in the cities. These
terrible drawbacks to farm life have
been or can be done away with in
any modern rural community by

DANGEROUS
CAUSES MORE DEATHS THAN ANY
OTHER BEAST.
Bureau Of Animal Industry Issues Bul.
Ietin OF Warning as to Dam
ger Of Tuberculosis from
Milk.

WaSQlngCOQ.-1Q most remarkable
report published as a bulletin by the
bureau of animal industry Of the de-
partment Of agriculture, warning is
sounded as to the danger of tuberculo-
sis being communicated to human be-
ings through cows.
The bulletin embodies a report of
experiments that have been conducted
by DR.. E. G. Schroeder and w. 3. Cot
ton, of the experiment station Of the
bureau of animal industry. They have
undertaken experiments with hogs
and cattle for the. main purpose of
testing the susceptibility of the lung
to infection from tubercle bacilli re-
gardless Of the point at which the ma
terial enters the body. Not only was
it shown that tuberculosis may read
through what channel the bacilN gain
entrance to the body, but various 9TH
er facts were demonstrated having an
important bearing on the communica-
tion of this dread disease.
The experts as result of their in
vestigations conclude that tuberculosis
is contracted through the entrance Of
tubercle bacilli; that the lung is the
organ most frequently affected, regard
less of where the infectious material
enters the body; that tuberculosis in
fection may pass from one part of the
body to another without leaving
chain of LESSONS to mark it's path; that
fresh tubercle material has the high
est significance, and that dried and
pulverized material has doubtful sig
nifcance.
These important conclusions in re-
gard to the cattle and dairy products
are drawn:
Tuberculosis material from cattle
has the highest virulence for all tested
species of the mammalian kingdom, to
which man anatomically and phys
ically belongs, and tuberculosis ma
terial from man has a lower viru-
lence
"Man is constantly exposed to fresh
tuberculosis material in helpless way
through his use Of dairy products
from tuberculous cattle.
While many cases of tuberculosis
undoubtedly have their origin through
food directly or indirectly infected
with fresh tuberculous persons, there.
Is no means to-day by which persons
are brought into closer contact with
fresh tuberculosis material than milk
and dairy products obtained from and
in the environment of tuberculous
COWS. The wide use of milk, it's rapid
distribution because of it's perishable
character, the ease with which it may
be contaminated, all speak for one
conclusion, namely, that we have no
more active agent than the tuber-
culous COW for the increase of tuber-
culosis among animals and it's per-
sistence among men,"
