Raise Corn For Sila-r.

All dairymeu recognize the value
OF corn ensilage as cheap food for
milk production. 1t is but seldom

large dairy barn. that corn slower is
seen. The silo has taken the place
of the corn stalk loft
An experiment conducted recently
at the Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton showed that in meat production
steers fed corn silase as part of their
ration made better gains than those
fed corn stover. The stoyer fed
steers ate more grain than those fed
silage. but the cost OF the feed. how
ever. was less. to the credit of sto-

PERFUMES AND SIMPLE LIFE.
Government Sets Bad Example Of
Lavish STYLE.

Mourning over the luxurious and
corrupting habits OF the Athenians
Demades once suggested TO Phoeion
why do we not persuade the people
to adopt the Spartan form of govern
ment?r Thereupon Phocion an
swered. Yes. indeed. it would BE-
come you much, with all those per-
fumes about you, and that pride OF
dress, TO launch out in praise of Ly-
curgus and Lacedaemonian frugal
ity" So Plutarch tells us.
Phocion was one OF the wisest OF
the Greeks. He saw that the simple
life and the luxurious life could not
get along together. and that as long
as the representatives OF society and
government were themselves addict
ed 10 luxurious habits. il was useless
10 try 10 teach the people the virtue
Of simple living.
IRE idea of Phocion was that ii
made no difference how beautiful the
purpose one proclaims, if he did NOT
exemplify the truth in his own life.
the preaching was in vain. If De-
n,ades would make Spar,ans out OF
the Athenisns, he must forego the
perfumes and costly raiment and oe
Spartan himself.
The lesson is that a government
which is lavish and keeps up a lux
urious public service. as is evidenced
By aristocratic society and cham
payne banquets. spreads net OF cor
-uptins influences before all the pee
pie. If we 20 not want socialism TO

Danger in Ice Mater.

Avoid ice water If you would be
considerate of your stomach this hot
weather. That is the advice given
by a prominent physician, stomach
specialist In his opinion the chilling
OF the stomach with ice water and
other iced drinks IS one Of the most
frequent causes OF summer stomach
disorders. Ice cold beverages may
be taken safely by slipping, letting
them become warm in the mouth be-
fore swallowing. But when guided
down they excite the stomach, causing
a rush of blood to that organ. fol.
lowed by q feeling OF depression and
faintness. No animal viii drink ice
water. Nature teaches them better.
says this physician. Water and other
drinks which are just cool, or even
lukewarm, are far more refreshing
and invigorating, although they may
not please the palate at once.-Ph"

MaximS on Women.
BY MILDRED STUART.

A woman with cold heart is like
a flower without fragrance.
Thoughtful women do little acts
of kindness which bring them great
reward.
Women who anticipate the wishes
of those whom they love Increase
their influence over them. 1t is the
little nothings that make indelible
impressions.
Coquettes may have their con.
quests, happiness never, and are des.
tined to desolation in their old age.
Love Of admiration has led many
women into forbidden paths.
Women, whose ambition leads
them beyond their legitimate sphere.
generally come to grief.
Artful women are an abomina-
ton; they practice their willy arts
upon the innocent and unsophisti.
Gated.
Availability is the most charming
characteristic in woman.
A violent temper is woman's
greatest affection.
Supersensitive women suffer in.
tensely over imaginary injuries.
Women have. naturally. more for.
titude than men.
Womans intuitions have saved
many men from fatal mistakes on &C.
count of their confidence in their
kind.
Women, whose ambitions are in
dependent of their husbands, rarely
attain the goal at which they aim.
Fortunately for mankind there are
more saints than sinners among won.
en-. There are very few unworthy OF
the mission for which they were in.
tended by an all-wise Creator.
The fury of woman has always
been painted in strong colors, but no
stronger than 1t should be if they are
properly resented wrongs, sometimes
inflicted upon them by INSCRIPTIONS
men.
Nothing but love and respect
should induce woman to assume
the matrimonial yoke.
Untruthful women are often the
mothers of mischievous lies that
cause serious tragedies.
Virtuous, noble women are more
powerful in the destruction of evil
than the warfare of an army Of men.
North America owes much of its
civilization and progress to the nobil.
ity of its women.
1t is matter of infinite pride that
American women who have married
titles have sustained their positions
SO admirably as to rival those to the
manor born in the country of their
adoption.
The women of our country have
little for which to struggle in the
matter of equal rights. Through
their superior qualities of head and
heart they have been accorded the
highest places in the respect, of all
the world. The women of no other
nation enjoy the same privileges and
veneration as that extended to Ameri-
can women everywhere.

sHEE LAW TO PROTECT TRADE

ATLANTA CITY IN. j., June s.
President Roosevelt has ordered that
Federal employees must pay their gro
Gerry bills if they wish to remain in
the Government service. John A.
Green, secretary of the National Re
nation today to the National Whole
sale Grocers' Association at a session
of the latter body here. Green, after
advising wholesalers to stop giving
credit to retailers who fall to pay on
time, said:
I'VE found in carrying out the
work of our association that many of
our members were carrying bills
against Government employees. One
of these bills was made the basis of
an appeal to the Civil Service Com
mission and to the President. The
Civil Service Commission informed
us that there is no law to compel the
payment of bills by employees and
that the Government could not be
made party to collections"
Green said a direct appeal was
then made to the President and a
reply received from Secretary Loeb
stating that while there is no law
to compel the payment of debts by
civil service employees, the President
had directed that notice be sent to
the heads of departments that failure
to pay grocery bills on the part of
civil service employees would be
deemed sufficient cause for removal" :"

NEW CHIEF Of
ARMY ENGINEERS
COLONEL SYMONS SERVED ON
PACIFIC COAST AND is FRIEND
OF ROOSEVELT.

FRN FRANCISCO, June 4-Lieuten-
ant Colonel Thomas w. Symons, who
has just been made chief of engineers,
United States army, is well known on
this coast. His promotion makes him
a brigadier general and jumps him ov-
er list of nine colonels. General Sy-
mons is a close friend of President
Roosevelt and has been associated
closely with the president for the last
four years.
On General AleXande" Mackenzie's
retirement President Roosevelt at once
named Symons as chief of engineers.
Secretary Taft, however, desired the
appointment of Lieutenant Colonel
Smith S. Leach TO the priced place, and
Colonel William L. Marshall had many
supporters for the plum.
General Symons' work in connection
with the Erie canal had brought him
great support. This came aptly to suit
President Roosevelt's wish to confer a
prize on an officer who had been close
10 MN in a social and confidential re-
lation.
General Symons was stationed for
about 10 years on this coast. His
work was mainly done on the Oregon
shores, but he made frequent visits to
the Presidio to consult with the engi-
neer officers who were at different times
in command of the work going on here.
The appointment, while it came as
surprise to the engineers stationed
here is received with much favor
General Symons graduated from the
military academy, September 1, 1870
Mrs. Symons has been a social lead
er at all the different posts where Cen
eral Symons has been stationed.
