Tobe's Views on Temperance, Etc.

Gladstone, Mo. March 25th, '07.
Editor Morgan County REPUBLICANS:
I see there is ne column of your pape,
set apart for the benefit Of The W. {. 7.
T., and | feel sure the Society is fully
capable Of approaching your kindness.
as they have 30 little encouragement out
side of their Union. This is wrong. but
the world has come to a point where
those who work for the betterment Of
the spiritual welfare OF the people meet
with very little encouragement.
1t seems to be a fact tina, the majority
of the people, including some Of The pop
ular ministers, have concluded the world
has outgrown the bible, the only true
source Of spiritual knowledge. They
don't stop to think that the law Of God
is Fixed and perfect. while the laws Of
man ARE generally formed OF popuiar
basis. While a great deal of the twenti-
eth century preaching is Intended to o II
form to the wants Of the people who adj
vocate many things not taught in the
bible, or at least pay but little attention
to what was taught by Christ and his
apostles.
II is no wonder that the church is los
ing tts influence over the people OF the
world. No wonder orr boys roam up
and down the cree = on the Lords day
trying to catch fish or kin game. No
wonder our county stores aud other
places of business are open seven days IN
tho week. No wonder that men and
boys gather in roups on the Lords day
for the purpose Of PLAYING cards, base
ball ami other games. The W. c. T. T..
should be one of the agencies through
which the rising generation should be
taught that there should he something
latter for them in the futul {, they should
be taugkt that it is wrong to violate the
law Of the land or the law of God.
The preacher should preach the gospel
as he finds it. If il plesses his hearers,
all right; II It does not please them is not
his fanlt--he has done his duty. I be.
iieve it was Josh Billings who said, "If h.
man pre- achcd a sermon that pleased ev-
erybody God would not approve Of the
sermon.
| have said more than I thought T.
would, hut there, Isl great deal more
that can he saidlnn this line. as il is get

FIGHT THE LICE AND Mites.

The warfare against lice and mites in
the poultry h use is best begun IN early
spring II du-ing the first few warm,
bright days Of spring, the houses are
given a thorough sweeping and clean
ing and some desinfec,ant Like a good
coal tar preparation used, it Will remain
sweat and clean for a month or n;nre
providing the droprings are removed
laiiy and plenty OF fresh air can get
through the house. II is between the
nest boxes aI'l the walls of the poultry
house. under the roosts and various
other cracks all over the poultry house
that the mites and lice do their breeding.
7 have seen hens sitting Oh a anst where
the mites were 20 thoroughly entrenched
that when the hen was removed they
covered the eggs lika SO much coarse
dust.
hhen cannot live very long in con-
ditions like this, 'ses can sac sct with

hca that is infested wi,hr mites and lice
will hatch her eggs satisfactorily Clean
out all the nests, and scatter airsiacked
