Confessed.

The close aflillation between the
saloon and the social evil is notorious,
II was acknowledged by President
'Hllus Liebman, of the United Brew
ers' Association. in his address at its
annual convention. held IN Milwau-
kee' June . and 10, 1908.
In the report of that address pub.
lished in the Brewers Journal, of
New York, July /, 1908, on page 396,
President Liebman lg quoted saying:
Ihe abuse of the saloon is marked
oy disorderly and disreputable prac-
uces, which are not incidental to the
business. We agree with all decent
men upon these points.
j, That the saloon should not be
used to foster the social evil and
should be utterly divorced from It
"2. That the saloon should not be
ased for gambling purposes.
'S That the saloon should not be
ypen to minors, and that the sale of
'ntoSicants to children should be pro-
'cribed,"

Beef Scrap For Fowls.

Beef scrap is indispensable for
yarded fowls, and for range fowls
also in winter. They only eat
small quantity after gradually feed
ing it TO them. even when kept in
their reach all the time, but this lit
tie they must have to be profitable as
layers or breeders. 1t, like the alf-
alfa. may either be fed dry. and kept
In their reach all the time. or fed in
the mashes. Two heaped tablespoon
fuls to dozen fowls per day, il fed
In mash, produce good results. When
giving a mash feed give all that will
be eaten up clean, but none to be left.

Discern Ye Not the Signs Of the
TimeSo

Even to the most superficial OBJ
server 1t must be apparent that the
present crusade against the liuuor
traffic is rooted in an awakened pub
lie conscience, which cannot be ap-
peased until this great moral issue
Is brou sht to trial in every State of
the Union.
The tide of prohibition is rolling
across the continent.
Maine. Kansas, Oklahoma, Georgia,
tennessee. Alabama, Mississippi,
North Carolina-one by one the
States which have refused to com
promise with intemperance and have
adopted Statewide prohibition are

are thickening.
Thus the whisky traffic, first in
one form and then in another. con-

In proportion as the heart becomes
sanctihed, there is a diminished ten
dency to enthusiasm and fanaticism.
And this is undoubtedly one of the
leading tests of sanctiflcation. One
OF the marks of an enthusiastic and
ranatical state OF mind Is a fiery and
unrestrained impetuosity of feeling.
rushing on sometimes very blindly,
as II the world were in danger, or as
II the great Creator were not at the

a good degree of Judgment, but what
Is the corrupting and fatal trait-it is
feeling without a due degree of conf
dence In God. True holiness reflects
the Image OF God in this respect as

Science Tcstifles For Prohibition.
The thirty-ninth annual meeting
of the American Society for the Study
or Alcohol and other Narcotics held
at Atlantic City indicated a tremend.
Gus advance among medical men in
their interest In the alcoholic prob-
lem.
DR.. Kress' paper. on Grain and
Fruits as Diet" to prevent drink
ing, was new phase of the sub
Ject which attracted great deal of
| attention.
| Dr.. Crothers' paper. on "Tubercu-
iosis and lnebriety," showed very
close relation between the two dis
eases.
Every paper read was a tremend-
Gus argument for prohibition. AL
| though that word did not appear.
I The discussions which followed
showed that the conviction of alcohol
being one of the dangerous remedies
and drugs Is growing rapidly among
the profession everywhere.
The American Medical Associa-
tlon which met at the same time
showed startling evidence of the ef-
tects of the alcoholic movement I'm
the banquets and dinners that we're
given without alcohol in any form.
The eY-presidents of the Associa-
tion and their friends celebrated
their dinner without spirits for the
hrst time in their history, and other
associations showed marked change
IN public sentiment.
Another significant hint was the
attention given by the public press
to the society for the study of alco-
hol and its proceedings. All the
daily papers in the neighborhood
noted what II said, giving It equal
prominence to that of other medical
papers.
Another significant fact was the
local interest in the churches. A
warm invitation was given to the
members of The American Society
for the Study Of Alcohol and Other
Narcotics to occupy the pulpits the
Sunday before the meeting.
This was cheerfully responded TO
by six physicians who spoke both
morning and evening in nearly all
the churches. Their addresses were
purely scientific and practically a
statement OF The facts of science con-
corning the alcoholic problem.-Re-

AS can be seen the Partridge Wy
andottes have compact bodies, clean,
yellow shanks and beaks, low rose
combs and scarcely any wattles. They
are ideal fowls for cold climates, and
cannot be excelled in mild or warm
localities. They are good foragers,
but will stand confinement in close
quarters and are splendid layers dur

A Handsome Living.

Col. Roessle once said there may
not be any very large fortunes made
in poultry raising, but there is a
handsome living for any one who has
the love for the pursuit. the ability
to raise and care for the stock, and
a small capital to start with. These
three things must go hand In hand;
separately they cannot bring success.

NEW MOVEMENT IN WEST.

After the first of February the boys and girls in the high school of Colorado Springs will be segregated, and if the result is as satisfactory as is anticipated the segregation will reach to the grammar schools and possibly throughout the course. While the superintendent of schools is said to be in favor of the move ment, the teachers are not agreeing with him, and declare that boys and girls in the same school is for the benefit of both. The change is tried with the idea that both sexes will give more time to study and less to one another.

KNEW THE SIGNS OF SPRING
Accurate, But Something Far Removed from Skipping Lambs and
 Green Fields.

A young teacher from the country secured a place in one of the public schools in the ghetto district on the East side in New York. One day, feeling the "spring fever" herself, she spoke to her class about it. Did they know that spring had come?
 They stared, dull and mrespon- sive. Down there among the brick walls, what did they know of spring :?
 "Don't your fathers or mothers ever talk about spring?" she per sisted.
 They shook their heads. Then one small boy held up a grimy hand.
 "Teacher, know wen springs come," he piped.
 "Listen. children" the teacher said. "Iky Schlinsky is going to tell us how he knows when spring is here"

HOW TALL SHOULD A NURSE BE-?

A question that is being discussed is how tall should the trained nurse be, and there seems to be difference of opinion. Some people, especially in private families, like the short, plump little nurse, who is cheerful and optimistic, while others prefer the tall nurse with the idea that she is stronger. Physicians say she takes her work more seriously, but in important cases it must be a question of the individual rather than any general physical character istic.
