We heard young man remark last week; "The world owes me a living" It is hoped for that young mans good that he'll get the notion out of his head; it's a mistake, a grave mistake. He never entertained a more foolish idea nor one which will bring him 8 smaller measure of respect. The world owes the young man nothing; but instead he owes the world and society an active, no. ble manhood, a steady, honest energy which will enable him to associate with decent men and women in a true manliness o1 character that will make his friendship valuable and his pres ence and companionship desired. The truly intelligent activity, and this young man should con- tribute to society's happiness and welfare the grace which comes through study, toll and honest thought.

Scaly Legs In Fowls.
J. M. Polhamus,
 Clerk.

Scaly legs is caused by an ln- sect that burrows under the scales and digs out a home. There he sucks the blood of the bird and increases in number. The frenzied bird pecks at the scales to allay the irritation and is unable to get at the mischief maker. The bird must suffer a great deal from this sort of a covered attack. The poultry raiser should be humane enough to at once take the case in hand as soon as the disease makes it. self manifest. It is not a disease except in common parlance, but merely the evidence of an insect attack. Greasing the legs two or three times a week and rub ping the grease under the scales will kill off the concealed ma rauder.

YUMA-SAN DIEGO
Work on the New Road Will Begin
 In July.

San Diegan Sun: Either the South ern Pacific or the Phelps-Dodge peo- pie.
 One or the other will probably con- meet with the San Diego and Arizona railroad at the Colorado river, accord ing to the meaning of an interview with John D. Spreckels, who is now in this city. Mir. Spreckels stated that there are five possible connections, to- wit: The Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Rock Island, Phelps Dodge and the Iron Mountain route.
 In conversation with him, Mir. Spreckels intimated that he did not desire to make connections with the Santa Fe, Rock Island Or Iron Noun tain, The last named road is largely backed by Busch, the St. Louis brewer, and his associates. This eliminates all but the two previously mentioned.
 All indications point to the fact that the fact that the Southern Pacific will probab bly be the chosen connection, al- though the matter will not be finally settled until the line to the Colorado is completed.
 Mir. Spreckels confirmed the story printed in the Sun last week, to the effect that the surveying parties were using Southern Pacific tools. The ex- planation is simple. A complete outfit was offered for sale in Los An geles by the railroad company and the San Diego and Arizona company pur- chased it. Several Southern Pacific engineers are also working on the sur- vey because there is nothing for them to do on the Southern Pacific at pres ent.
 Mir. Spreckels said that actual con- struction work on the road will begin here when the survey has been com pleted into National City. The latest information from the camps in the back country is that the men will reach Ma tional City about July 4.

No one is so independent as the farmer; he doesn't have to truckle; if he is insulted he can resent the insult without fear of losing trade, and there is no earthly reason, with the improv- ed farm machinery he now has in use, why he should not have an eight-ho day and such leis- ure for reading and study as would soon make him one of the best informed men in any call ing. Why shouldn't the farmer be all this and more? Surely he has the possibilities.

George Moore's Views on Death.

That I should not desire to see my mother before she died will seem at first strange; some may even deem me deficient in natu- ral feeling, but many will under stand my feeling better; for a feeling truthfully expressed must find an echo though the echo be remote; I Icannot be the only one to whom farewells and partings are so intense a suffering that no price seems too much to pay to escape them. Maybe this is per .sonal feeling, inseparable from me even if I were convinced that we shall be raised from the dead. Maybe it is a consequence of the belief that with this life all con Sciousness passes from us. l only know that I do not desire to see a human face at the mo- ment when light and sound will die out my eyes and ears, when sense of touch will escape from my hand. It is the appearance of death, not death itself, that frightens me. Death may be beauty, truth and happiness; we know it is the one thing that is harmless, whereas life is cer- tainly ugly, false, bitter, ephe- mereal. If we were ruled by reason instead of by instinct, few would choose to remain living, and those few who did choose life would do so because they preferred to endure life rather than war against a purpose which may lie behind the veil, and for the due working out of which our submission to the coil of things is required"

A Most Valuable Agent.

The clycerine employed In Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medicinal properties which it extracts from native medicinal roots and holds in solution much better than alcohol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being a valuable dcmulccnt, nutritivc, antIscptic and antifCrmcnt. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry bark. BlOodrOot, Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queens root, contained in UGuldeh Medical Discovery in Subduing chronic, or lingering coughs. bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recommended by stand ard medical authorities.
 In all cases where there is wasting away ol flesh, loss of appetite, with weak stomach, as in the early stages of con sumption, there can be no doubt that gly- cerinc acts as valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Oueen'S root and Black Chcrrybark in promoting digestion and building up the ficsh and strength, controlling the cough and bringing about healthy condition of the whole system. Of course, It must not be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption except in Its earlier stages. It will cure very severe, obSti- nate, hang-on, chronic coughs. bronchial and laryngcal troubles, and chronic SOTO throat with hoarScncSS. In acute coughs 1t is not so effective. It is in the lingering hang-on coughs. or those of long standing, even when accompanied by bleeding from lungs. that 1t has performed It's most marvellous cures.
 Prof Finley EllIngwood, NJ. D., of Ben nett Med. College, Chicago, says of gly- ccrine:
 rIn dyspepsia 1t serves m excellent purpose. Holding fixed quantity of the peroxide of hydrogen in solution. t ts one of the best manufactured products of the present time in its action upon cnfeebled. dlsordered stom- achs, especially If there Is ulcerstion or ca tarrhal gaStritis Catarrhal inflammation of stomach). It Is a most efficient preparation. Glycerinc will relieve many cases of pyToSiS (hesrtburnl and excessive gastric (stomach) acidity."

Why is it that no one wants to live in the country any more? Cities are full of people who live "from hand to mouth," and whose total wealth is represent ed by the clothing they have on. Years go by and these persons never have a home. They lose that independence that the proud owner of the farm has. If there is one needed, reform it is to keep people on farms and away from cities.

Here is something that is worth many dollars to every farmer to know: Sprinkle lime in your stock tank and not a par ticle of scum will form on the water. When the lime loses its strength scum will begin to form, which may be twice dur ing the season, wash out the tank and repeat the dose. It is cheap, not only harmless but wholesome, keeps the water sweet and saves the live stock.
