Control Your Thoughts.

Until you have learned to control
your thoughts, you will never be able
to live godly and righteous life. GAS
a man thinketh in his heart, SO is he;n
and 1t is because the thoughts we en-
tertain in the hostelry Of the soul are
such worthless and vain ones that our
words and acts often bring SO heavy a
disgrace on the name we loye.
Well might the wise man say: s'Keep
thy heart with all diligence; for out of
1t are the issues of life." When the
heart is right, the ear and the eye and
the mouth and the foot will necessarily
obey its promptings; but when the
heart is wrong, filled with tides of ink,
like the cuttlefish it will develop itself
in the impurity to which it gives vent.
If you habitually prevent evil things
to have their right of way through you
or lodge within you. remember that in
Gods sight you are here equally guilty
with those who indulge in evil acts,
because you are withheld, not by your
fear of him, but by your desire to
maintain your position among men,

Now that milking machines have
shown us that they can milk cows
without drying them up new claim
is being made for them. The milk is
drawn in vacuum and deposited in
covered pail through tubes without
comingin In contact with the atmosphere.
1t Is well known that milk is spoiled
by bad odors from the stable and from
dust and dirt falling into it during the
process of milking. In the best dairies
a great deal of expense and care are
continually expended to procure milk
as clean as possible. If the milking
machine proves as satisfactory as it
promises to be it will revolutionize
dairying, not only solving the labor
problem as applied to milking, but by
furnishing better quality Of milk at
less expense. 1t is said that milk
drawn from the udder by the milking
machine and carried at once to thor
oughly cold sterilized bottles will keep
in good condition for a week.

His Science Treatment. !.

When Christian Science began to
find firm footing in Winchester the
little son of prominent woman who
had embraced the faith and was urging
others to take it up was out of school
day or two because of sickness. When
the youngster returned his teacher,
who was well along in years and pos
sessed an inquiring mind, engaged the
youngster in conversation.
"Been sick, Joe?"
"Yes'm."
"Sick enough to be in bed?"
"Yes'm."
"What did your mother do for you,
Joe, while you ached SO in bed?" asked
the teacher, now all expectancy for the
reply.
''she mended my trousers" lisped
Joe.

Unless seed oats are known to be ex-
ceptionally clean and free from smut
they. should be treated before seeding.
The loss from oat smut Is absolute and
1t has appeared in many Colorado
sections during the past two seasons
where 1t was never known before.
Every affected grain is totally de-
stroyed and not merely shriveled as in
the case or rust. Smut may be simply
and cheaply prevented by the use of
hot water or chemicals. Probably the
best method and one now extensively
used is to treat the seed grain with a
weak solution Of formalin. For every
half pound of fornalin add thirty gal
Ions Of water. Spread the seed grain
on the barn floor and sprinkle the
solution over it, making it thoroughly
damp. Shovel together into pile.
cover with sacks or other convenient
material and leave from two to twelve
hours for the chemical to act. Sow at
once or spread out and dry and SOW
after u time. Thirty gallons Of the
solution are enough for 100 bushels Of
grain. While the seed should be moist
1t ought not to pack in the hand.
Formalin is often called formaldehyde.
1t looks like water and has pungenl
Odor like ammonia. The standard
commercial article is known as a forty
per cent. solution. It is not poisonous.

Los Angeles Realty Board Goes After
Local Agent Who Handles
Ranches in Fresno
County

The Los Angeles realty board at its
regular meeting yesterday, whlch was
held at the Hollenbeck hotel, authorized
an investigation into the methods OF GER
tain real estate dealers accused or selling
land by grossly false representations. a
complaint was made through the State
Realty Federation against one agent doing
business in Los Angeles. 1t was asserted
that land, five acres of which Is repre-
sented as capable of earning a living Tor
a family and which is said to have an
abundance of water easily obtainable, is
really worth scarcely anything, as the
only water obtainable Is unfit for either
domestic or irrigation purposes. Inc
property in question Is situated In Fresno
county, and on the strength of report
from the federation colonization commit
teeman in that district the board ap-
pointed a special committee to further In
yestigate the complaint and take action
toward exposing the agent who Is accused
of yictimizing number OF poor In
vestors.
In line with the above action the follow
ing resolution was carried by unanimous
vote:
Resolved, That in view of the recent
exposure by the Los Angeles Times of real
estate firms mot, however, members oi

lots in Antelope valley and the Nevada
desert, Los Angeles realty board heartily

ing representations or advertising of land
and lots and deprecates the offering Tor
sale of such property, as tending to en-
tirely offset the benefit derived from legit-
innate advertising by responsible agents
and members of the board. And be 1t
further
'sResolved That the board requests the
newspaper press at large to give pub
licity to the fact that under the bylaws
of the State Realty Federation, OF which
this board is a member, provision is made
for the investigation of any colonization
and immigration proposition concerning
which complaint may be made and public
denunciation of such scheme, If found
fraudulent or misleading"
The Rev. Robert ]. Burdette was pres

meeting was disposed of he entertained
the members with one of his characteris-
tic talks in the course Of which he gave
them some excellent advice, commendine
their action upholding the old doctrine
Of 'noblesse oblige, and evoked their

ORIGIN OF STEEL FRAME
CAUSES DISCUSSION
Several WI! Known Architects Lay
Claim TO Much Coveted Honor

The recent death of w. L. B. Jenney,
one of Chicago,s leading architects, seems
to have precipitated the engineering and
architectural professions into more or
less acrimonious discussion as to the
origination of the steel frame skyscraper
construction. There is no question but
that Mr.. Jenny actually built the first
tall building in Chicago, the Home In
surance building. but others claim that
Architects Burnham and Root had
planned, though not erected, that mode
of construction to that time, and still
other candidates for the honor have pre-
sented their claims. OF them all. Archi-
tect Burlington of Minneapolis seems to
have the best foundation for his conten-
tion as he is the only possessor- of a
United States patent on that construc-
tion, and has actually filed suits against
owners of some tall buildings for having
infringed his idea. Latest developments.
however, bring out that his claims are
combated by Architect Fitzpatrick of
Washington. D. c., who asserts that the
arlington patent is invalid, because 1t
was not that gentlemans own conception,
he having absorbed" 1t from Fitzpat-
rick, who was then, in 1888, his chief as
sistant, and who had elaborated the
scheme of tall construction with an en-
gineer named Strom.
The skyscraper certainly has solved
many of our modern economic problems.
and whether the scheme of construction
was the invention of any one individual,
or, as contended by some, natural
evolution, a logical solution of the prob
lens before them. a conclusion arrived
at by many architects and engineers
simultaneously, 1t seems that the archi-
tectural profession deserves the greater
praise, though the matter is so essen
TALLY an engineering one, for Its intro
duction and perfection.
