WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.

The recent decision of the United
States supreme court to the effect that
the federal government possesses no
jurisdiction over the white slave traffic
after the unfortunate natives have
once been admitted into this country
must not be construed into an attitude
of indifference on the part Of this grave
tribunal
That the pernicious industry of i'm
porting foreign women into this coun-
try for immoral purposes there is no
worse crime known to the moral law.
But the separate powers which be-
long to the state and federal authorities
must be borne in mind. 1t is no longer

KEEP BOYS ON FARM.

Commenting on one of the great
problems of every agricultural COM
munity-The Duluth Herald has the
following editorial:
The farmers worst troubles, he says.
are the difficulties Of getting help and
of keeping his boys on the farm.
These troubles are allied, because, of
course If the boys stay by the soil and
take an interest, their help is worth
twice as much as that of hired hands.
The Outlook magazine publishes an
interesting quotation showing what a
Kansas farmer does to keep his boys
on the farm. Knowing that the city
has attractions hard to be resisted, he
has set UP counter attractions. The
chief one Is cooperation, partnership.
The farmer whose experiment is
described Is Charles Kirkland of Sa-
| liza, Kan. He owns $50 acres, six
mile from SaIina. He has three boys,
16, IA and s years of age and three
girls. In the winter the family lives
| in town on account of the school fa-
cilities and to enjoy the social life.
or course this fea ure is one that few
farmers can initiate, but it is not so
important as the cooperation factor.
Indeed, If the appeal of this latter
argument were not powerful. the boys
would look forward in dread to the
return to the country, and the winter
in town would spoil them for the
summer on the farm. 1t doesn't, in
this case, however, for the entire
family looks forward joyously to the
spring and the return to the soil.
The Kirkland family is described
as a pure democracy in which every
member is citizen, with the rights
and privileges of citizenship. Ever
since they have been old enough to be
| interested in any way the children
have had some share, however small,
| in the farm. Each has something
| he can call his own. Mr.. Kirkland
has 'toted fair with his children. If
4 they were not old enough to exercise
| Judgment as to money or property
they were properly ,redited on the
books. When they arrived at a prop
er age, they were given Me manage
ment of their own share. which not
only provided business and farming
education, but created an honest self
interest that is wedding those children
to farm life.
Last year the two elder boys, lav-
ing accumulated some capital from
their share Of the farm produce, rent
ed an adjoining forty acres using the
family teams to break the ground and
paying the father fair price for their
use. They bought seed wheat and
paid for the thrashing. The venture
netted these lads Of IL and 16 nice
profit of $3.50. They did this without
neglecting their home work or their
schooling, and this year they say they
will do better still.
The s-year-old lad last year boughs
with his savings two baby pigs. He
fed them daily with his little pail
filled at the farm separator, and a lit
tie while ago when Kirkland sold 8
bunch OF hogs, the boys two fattened
swine brought SIS. which went on the
little fellows handbook.
That farmer is going to keep his
boys on the farm because he is goine
about II i'm the right way.

ETAn Englishman - according to
William T. Stead--has invented con-
sumption "cure." He makes a poultice,
which is applied to the part affected.
This creates an ulcer that draws out
the disease. This ulcer is treated with
a salve--which the same Englishman
invented--and in few months the
worst cases are cured--and there you
are. How simple!

hlah.XoItaae UNDERGROUND Wires.

1t is only in comparatively recent
years that engineers have deemed 1t
safe to carry electric currents of high
potential or voltage in underground
cables buried under the streets of
cities. But nowadays systems Of
1000. 1900. 1920 or even 10000
volts are employed with entire relia-
bility and safety. 1t is said that when
local and commercial conditions justl-
ify, pressure as high as $4,000 volts
can be used satisfactorily under
ground, even for systems aggregating
100 miles of cable. But no single line
of such a system should be longer than
about 20 miles. On comparatively
short lengths underground or under
water. as a part of a long overhead
transmission line, cables operating at
1000 volts may be used.

LIE AND BIG TOE WIGGLES.
AImet Skeesics, Professor Of Psyschoi-
ogy Of University Of Alabama
Makes Discovery.

Tuscaloosa, Ala-Almet Skeesics
Phi. d., professor of psychology at
the University of Alabama, has made
most important and interesting dis.
covery.
After years of observation and expert.
ence Prof. Skeesics affirms that when.
ever man tells lie he wiggles his
great toe.
The learned professor declares 1t is
impossible for any man by any exer-
else OF will to prevent one or the 9th
er of his big toes from wriggling when
he Is telling a falsehood Reflex nerv-
Gus force, which the will cannot
control, moves the toes. This reflex
force is excited by the mans subcon-
scious radiomental activity.
But the explanation is somewhat
abstruse and technical. To put it
plainly, the man who is classifying
thinks to himself, you know you're
liar" and then his toe wiggles.
Prof. Skeesics says shoes were
given to man to conceal his thoughts
lie adds that If all men went bare,
footed the race would soon be regen-
Grated, freed of guile and falsehood;
for what's the use of lying II you
know you're going to be caught?
