Roosevelt in some of his public utter

Cooke of Brandon. Vt. were ruled out of
court by Bishop David H: Moore at the

Four burglars rifed the post-office at

CONTROL OF LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Interesting Discussion of the Question
in Baptist Sunday School,

over 100 assembled Sunday in the
men IS class of the Baptist Bible school
taught by DIR. II. D. Holton to consider
the question of temperance. All users
Of the International Sunday school les
sons devoted themselves Sunday to this
question.
An address was delivered by DR.. T.
ID. CrOthers of Hartford, Conn. who
has devoted his life to the study of the
influence of alcohol on the system. He
said in part that the question was now
4 vital one (not a theory or an opinion)
that every citizen must recognize. Is
license more practical that prohibition
and can we secure more perfect solu-
ton of the problem by surrounding the
saloon with restrictions, Identifying the
traffic, and placing it on a par with the
other necessities2 Economically we are
faced with mass of facts showing the
destructiveness of the saloon, and the
extent of the injury we suffer from this
evil. In spite of this we tolerate it,
and show humiliating servitude in per
hitting the saloon to be organized and
legally carry on the business of destroy
ing human life. Still further, figures
show that mortality from pneumonia,
apoplexy and Bright s disease is in
creased wherever the saloon obtains
Several questions pertaining to the
temperance problem were considered by
prominent men. Judge E. w. Gibson
said that it was matter of much
qualification to see an organization of
young men so interested in the subject
of temperance. 1t is question that
requires legislation and that needs the
active interest of the voters in sup
porting the hands of those who have
the matter of temperance to deal with
from political standpoint. Judge Glib
son believed the present law preferable
because it brought results that were
not forthcoming under prohibitory re-
gime. Under the prohibitory laws
liquor could be obtained openly con-
trary to law, today there is no place in
this county where liquor can be OBJ
tanned contrary to law.
J. G.. Stafford spoke in favor of the
present system. He thought there was
plenty of law, but he believed it to
be poorly enforced. He limited that the
means whereby liquor was now OBJ
tanned was grossly abused and that
some check ought to be put upon this
abuse, intimating that the physician
ought to be gotten after. State s At
torney R. G. Bacon also spoke in favor
of the present system. Among other
things he brought out the difficulty of
controlling the abuse of the present
means of obtaining liquor by prescrip-
ton.

SCHOOL GARDENS IN TEXAS.
Agricultural Branch of the Training
of San Antonio Children.

The school garden system of San
Antonio, Tex, is on an established
practical basis. 1t is said that this
city has more gardens attached to its
schools than any place of its size in
the world. There are 949 OF these
cultivated plots attached to the TWEEN.
ty-nine public schools. The gardens
are il charge of school superinten-
dents. but the work of planting, cul-
tivating and harvesting the products
of each is carried on by the pupils
of the school to which the garden
belongs. The gradens vary from one
tenth to one-quarter of an acre. 1t is
estimated that the total acreage is
more than 100, or equal to that of a
good sized farm.
The boys OF the schools take a
great pride in their gardens. The
teachers declare that since the gar
dens were established the boys are
much more industrious in their stud
les, that they learn more readily and
that they all show evidence of mate
rial improvements in their health and
physical condition.
The climate of San Antonio is Pc
culiarly adapted to the operation OF
the school garden system. The work
can be carried on during practically
the whole school term. Certain veg
etables can be grown successfully
during the fall ard winter. The
spring gardens are planted early in
February and the products are ma
tured and harvested by the time the
school term ends in June. An enor-
nous quantity of vegetables is grown.
The boys take such keen interest in
the work that they give little time to
playing the games that usually con-
sumo good part of the time of young
students. There is much rivalry
among the different schools over the
gardens.
Text books on agriculture now are
used in the public schools of San An
tomb. The youths are given basic
training in farming and gardening
and are enabled to put their knowl
edge to practical use in the gardens
that are provided for them. Ener
getic boys, who become interested in
the work do not confine their labors
to the school garden but many Of
them have converted unsightly back
wards and vacant lots at their homes
into cultivated plots.

When duck eggs are set under hens,
it is best to make the nest on the

Like everything else on the farm
the success Of poultry depends on
the management. The farmer or breed
er who keeps culls is feeding off the
profit. The farmer should dispose Of
all surplus cockerels and save feed
ing them at a loss.
Put a tablespoonful of sulphur in

the mother leaves the nest with her
brood, she is free from nits and lice.

Some years ago an expedition
from the University OF Pennsylvania
was sent to one of our Southern
States for the purpose OF observing
a solar eclipse.
The day before the event one OF
the professors said to an old darby
belonging to the household wherein
the scientist was CHARTERED.

chickens tomorrow morning you'll
IND that they'll all 60 to roost at

Tom was, OF course, skeptical; but
at the appointed hour the heavens
were darkened. and the chickens re-
tired to roost. At this the negro's
amazement showed no bounds, and
he sought out the scientist.
"Perfesser," said he, how long
ago did you know dem chickens
would go to roost?"
About a year ago." said the pro-
lessor, smilingly.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby

II parents realized the fact that
coffee contains a drug-caffeine-
which is especially harmful to chill
dren, they would doubtless hesitate
before giving the babies coffee to
drink.
when I was a child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nbble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals new
er knew there was anything to drink
but coffee and water.
"And so I contracted the coffee
habit early. / remember when quite
young. the continual use Of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a SUBJ
stitute for coffee. 49,

POULTRY HOUSE FIXTURES.

The fixtures in the poultry house
should be fastened, but everything
should be movable, because this great
ly facilitates keeping things clean and
in good shape. AS a matter of fact,
1t Is next to impossible to clean out
and renovate a poultry house un-
less all interior fixtures and appli-
ances are movable and can be carried
outside the building. More than that,
If the roosts and nests are attached
to the walls, 1t Is absolutely impos-
sible to prevent lice and mites from
spreading over the entire building
and lodging in the cracks in the walls
where they can scarcely be reached.
The best roosts are those that are
all on the same level and not more
than two feet from the ground. We
have our perches only eighteen inches
above the ground for Plymouth Rock
fowls. By having the perches all the
same height, crowding for the high
est position Is avoided, while by hav-
dpe them low it is easier Tor the
birds to get on and off and injuries
to the feet or bodies of the fowls in
jumping or falling or getting pushed
OF are avoided.-Epitomist.
