A serinns Charge.

Too little attention has been paid to
very important matter which was
preached in the United States Senate
by Foraker and Bailey. Mr.. Foraker
declared his belief in information that
an arrangement had been made between
the Department of Justice and the rail-
roads, by which the latter are to be
allowed to violate the commodity
clause of the anti-railroad law indefi-
nitely, without prosecutions being
started. Commenting on this, Senator
Bailey said:
THAT the Senator from Ohio is right
seems apparent from the fact that vio-
lations of the law continue with i'm
punity and no prosecutions have been
instituted" Mr.. Bailey asserted that
the President could be and ought to
be impeached,v and to this proposition
there was no reply from the Republi-
can side. But, will he be impeached?
Or. is he totally immune from Congress
sionaE interference?

ponr Fold Your Arms.

By folding your arms you pull the
shoulders forward, fiatten the chest
and impair deep breathing. says the
Family Doctor. Folding the arms
across the chest so ffattens it down that
it requires conscious effort to keep
the chest in what should be its nat
uraI condition. As soon as you forget
yourself, down drops the chest.
We cannot SEC ourselves as others see
US. IL we could. many Of US would
be ashamed OF our shapes. The posi-
ton you hold your body in most Of the
time soon becomes it's natural posi-
ton. Continuously folding your arms
across the chest viii develop a fat
chest and rounded back.
Here are four other hints which
should be made habits: Keep the back
of the neck close TO the back OF the
collar at all possible times Always
carry the chest farther to the front
than any other part of the anterior
body. Draw the abdomen in and up
a hundred times each day. Take a

There are different views Of how to
so to work at most anything. One man
looks at it one way, another another
1t is that way with farming. There are
men who seem to think that II they can
skin the farm down to the very quick
every year they are making the most
out Of farming.
These men think more of the money
they get than anything else In the
world. Money is their supreme object
in life. For that they work themselves
and their horses and their hands from
daylight till dark. For that they will
scrimp themselves and their families
till they have little of the real man
hood left In them, for it Is a fact that
such narrow living stunts all the bet
ter elements Of ones nature. They die
at last, leaving good bank account.
but that is all they leave, and the world
soon forgets them. That Is not getting
the most out of the farm. What is?
The man who gets the most out of
the farm Is the one who makes not
simply a fortune out of 1t, but makes
a life. He works for that day that Is
coming, as we'll as for the day that
now Is. His aspiration is to leave the
farm a little better than he found 1t.
This he can do by system Of thor
ough farming, by means Of which he
maintains the fertility Of the soil, CIV
ing as well as taking, every year.
He studies the hearts Of bis wife and
little ones, just as much as be thinks Of
the care and keeping of his land and
his cattle. He takes an interest In the
welfare of the people about him and
Is ready to do all that he can to In
sure good government.

not lay up quite as much money as the
other one, but he will have the respect

The startling assertion that in the
schools of S16 cities and towns of the
United States conditions are ripe for
repetition of the Collnwood, Ohio, fire
disaster appears in current issue Of
fire insurance publication, the Insurance
Press. A list of the danger spots is pub
lished, and it includes Chicago, New York.
Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston
and numerous other large cities, as well
as smaller centers of population.
Fire statistics show that, during the
first quarter of 1908, ffty-eight fires oc-
Cured in educational institutions of the
United States and Canada, resulting in
death to many students, endangerlng the
lives OF thousands of others, and causing
a property loss of about $1,00O,0OO. In
many instances dormitories were burned,
some while the students were asleep at
night Such dangerous niazes occurred
in nineteen States and one territory. Pub
lie school fires caused damage in eighteen
States. Panics among pupils and teach,
ers invariably resulted. Safety was often
found to be sought, not in the protection
afforded by fireproof building material,
iron escapes or other structural improve
ments, but in fire drills, which depended
upon discipline that could be maintained
only when danger was remote.
The statement is made that at 322 col
leges and universities the question of the
safety of the lives of students has scarce
ly been considered. BY far the greater
danger, however, is said to exist in the
public schools of the country. Public
school boards are said to appreciate their
responsibility by providing fireproof ma
terials in new buildings, but little or moth
ing is done to improve conditions in old
school houses which were erected before
the modern building ezra.
This is declared to be a matter worthy
immediate and widespread action on the
part of public officials. If theatcrs.
churches, halls and other public gather
ing places are by law equipped with
sprinkler systems, fire escapes and other
safety devices, how important it is that
school houses, where children spend as
much as thirty hours week, be pro-
tected. The Fort Wayne, Ind, hotel
fire. which found helpless, sleeping VIC
tins in unprotected rooms, is the eighty
fifth blaze of its kind in the United States
and Canada since the first of the year.
Not all of these resulted in loss of life,
but hotels, like schools, are shown to be
in need of special protective apparatus.

some Separator conclusions.

In conclusion, let me say that the
hand separator has made possible
marvellous growth In the dairy indus
try. 1t has extended the butter pro-
ducfng territory from the one hun
dredth meridian to the Pacific Coast.
1t has reached up into the Far North
west and has dipped down into the
Southwest. 1t has made possible the
marketing OF dairy products In regions
which would never have been reached
by whole-milk system dairying. II has
stimulated and encouraged the intro
Cuction Of improved dairy breeds and
II has brought to thousands Of farmers
millions Of dollars which II would lave
been impossible fer them to accumulate
had II not been for the hand separator.
The hand separator users are vast
throng. and their influence should be
used to improve their position. They
should insist, where their cream Is
marketed for butter making purposes.
that 1t be graded according to It's quail
itv and tested for butter fat by ac-
c1lrate methods. They should take an
interest In all the operations that are
necessary to place this product on the
market 10 the best advantage. They
should give care to It's assembling and
care to its receiving. There are many
opportunities open for cooperation:
but cooperation can only be carried
on where there V q desire on the part
OF all to work IN harmony. This Is
possible where the right spirit exists,
and II seems to me II IL well worth
the trial In the assembling. receiving
and grading there is a fair field for
cooperation.
Where cream Is shipped In large
quantities from towns one man could
receive. grade, test and ship all the
product. This would do away with
the half dozen cream buyers often
found In a small town and would pro-
vide a more skilled man at better pay
and housed in a building constructed
for cxrtng for cream.-A- L. Hacker

this. II stirred thoroughly 1t will take
