DThe tyranny Of the Root.n


We think of tho savage tribe as liv.
ing outdoors. and free from the re.
straints which come from civilization
tho garment, the house and the
cook. But there is a barbarism which
spends its winters In huts and holes
from which every breath of fresh air
is shut out and where the sitting at
mosphere is heavy with old shapes
OF foul disease Akin to the life Of
the hut and the slum is the life of the
home of whatever grade where cold is
dreaded more than bad air. The farm
house. the millionaire's palace and the
village grocery alike shelter miserable
sinners against natures laws. The
crusade against the ravages of con-
sumption has awakened thousands to
the fact that the need for pure air is
more imperative even than the need
for good food. although it speaks with
less insistent voice. But. remarks
Youths Companion, hundreds of thou
sands of housewives yet need to learn
the danger of the comfortable double
window and the air-tight stove. and
the healing power of pure. cold air.
STEPPED In Gods own sunshine. A
woman who was known as the queen
OF the Gypsies died recently in Eng
land. She was of great age and amaz-
ing vigor, and real character" in
her reserve and her hatred of modern
conditions. She seldom talked. but it
was known that she considered educa-
ton as rubbish, houses as no better
than prisons, and the persons who
died in them as the victims of their
own effeminacy. in a phrase both
telling and memorable, she boasted
herself free from the tyranny of the
roof" That is truly noble freedom
and one which every wise woman may
covet for herself and her children.
Perhaps another hundred years may
see the stuffy bedroom everywhere
supplanted by the airy porch, and
find civilized man again sleeping un-
der the sky.

900 acres will be planted to peas, and
beginning this week the Empson Pack
ing company will plant peas on 100
acres a day for thirty days. The crop

canning plant.
The same company will plant 1000
acres to other vegetables. including
beans, tomatoes, cauliiower, cucum-
bers, etc, and eighty acres of aspara-
gus, probably the largest asparagus
bed in the world.
Three hundred acres of peas will be

farming will be watched with keen in
terest here. These peas will be har-
vested in June, the ground will lie fall
low until fall, when it will be planted
with wheat. Small experiments along
this line last year proved highly sue
cessful

opportunities for home and money
making. The inquirer is offered any
further information he may want.

chairman of the committee of 100 in

Hondurans renewed the attack. The
firing grew heavier and again the al
lied troops were repulsed. This hap
pened again and again, the Nicara-
guans always being successful in
keeping the enemy at bay.
After three days OF unsuccessful at
tacks, the allied army withdrew.

more the assault would be ordered,
but soon it was seen that the COM

When he Nicaraguans left their de-
fenses they found 500 dead and 800
wounded Hondurans. and Salyadorans
on the field. The Nitaraguans lost
geo killed and about the same number

Good Cough Medicine for Children

0ooo Sou9n Meoicine Tor Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care cannot
be used to protect the children. A
child is much more likely to contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when he
has a cold. The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance OF
many mothers, and few of those who
have tried it are willing to use any
other. Mrs. F. f. Starcher, of Ripley,
w. Va, says, q have eve used any,
thing other than C~hamberlain's Cough
Remedy for my children and it has al
ways given good satisfaction" This
remedy contains no opium or other mar,
cotic and may be given as confidently
to a child as to an adult. For sale by
all druggists.

Epictetus: Everything has two

borne, another by which 1t cannot. If
your brother acts unjustly, do not lay
hold on the affair by the handle of
his injustice, for by that it cannot be
borne; but rather by the opposite, that
he is your brother, that he was
brought up with you, and thus you will
lay hold on 1t as 1t is to be borne.
