 Another step is the prospective creamery. No man would think or trying to raise fine cows and market the product by himself. He could not succeed, There would be no market.

To Improve Kansas Water

The water analysis department. OF
the University of Kansas has been
working for some time on the
ANALYSIS of waters from different parts
of the state, the data to be used in
the state water survey now being
made by Prof, w. q. Hoad, state
sanitary engineer. 1t has been found
that the waters of the state contain
toe mash iron and manganese and
that this Is especially true of the
waters alsng the Kaw river. To the
presence of those substances is due
the red stain often seen on porcelain
utensils and other domestic wares,
and the yellow stain on white clothes
that have been Numbered. By the
state water survey it is expected to
determine the normal amou"t OF
these substances 10 the water 10 any
part of the state. When the survey
is completes, time will be devoted to
perfectlng a process for reducing the
amount of Iroa aud manganese.

The English Sparrow
OutIaWed.

Another step in the formal process
of outlawing the English sparrow mas
been taken by 90 less a power than
the government of the United STATES
1t has long been known that ne
sparrow has few friends left even
among the most discriminating OF
bird-loyers, aid it's importation mas
been recognized as costly mlstaRe.
But hitherto no systematic sters have
been taken for its determination,
possibly for the reason that the task
looks hopeless. Sparrow killing clubs
have been organized here and there,
hut only in a desultory way, and the
results have nowhere been visible.
Now, however, the department. OF
agriculture, through its biological
suryey, has set itself to the duty or
educating the public in the ways and
means of destroying sparrows, to the
end that the pest may be mitigated,
for even the department. haroors no
illusions as to the ability OF the
American people to rid themselves OF
this "cunning, destructive and hithy'
little bird, In an official bulletin
lust issued the unqualified statement
IL made that, sin its economic rela-
tions, the English sparrow among
birds is comparable to The rat among
animals About the only thing TO
be found in it's favor is that IL deS-
troys considerable amount of weed
seed, but 1t performs NO economic
service ia the destruction OF Insects,
and it does do vast amount or
damage to fruits aud ycun{ yege-
tables: IL eats the buds Of cultivated
trees and shrubbery, and by lts
aggressiveness and fecundity reduces
the numbers of some of the most
useful of the native birds.
N where is the sparrow now pro-
tpcted bv law, and the attention of
SCENT tic men is concentrated upon
methods Of preventing It's increase.
II ests are destroyed By concerted
and continuous effort valuable results
will be attained without resort to the
more Objectionable methods OF gun
and poison. The wary sparrow may
even be trapped, an exercise for the
skill and patience Of the younger
generation, and Ia the last resort
may be shot or poisoned. In cities,
the latter methods are perhaps not to
be considered, but he whole subject
is deserving of more attention than IL
is receiving. The work is done IN
which each individual householder
can contribute by clearing out nesting
cranHies and making roosting places
uninhabitable.-K Kansas City Journal.

At last the American small boy II
com ing back into favorable consideIa
ton. For years he has been exploited
by misguided faddists who sought t.
inset the traditional methC DIS of child
culture. Bit by bit the ancient rights
and privileges of youngsters have been
trimmed until the healthy, active BOY
of voracious appetite has become a
weak and almost spirltleSs human
with deljcate stomach and tired little
body. The food faddiSts have de-
prived the boy rf his natural ROOD.
They have attempted to place MIN
upon regimen entirely unsuited TO
his demands. High-browed scientists
have told US that boys should be fed
grams in vapId mixtures and PLAIN
and "wholesome" fare calculated to
build tissue through the mystery or
predigestion.
But now comes Dr. Woods Hutch
,nson to the rescue of the small boy.
DR.. Hutchinson gees back to first
principles. 81 + the child eat good,
Wholesome foods to his hearts con
tent" says DR.. Hutchinson. 1t will
not hurt him if you see that he gets
real food and not sawdust. He not
only wants, but needs, a lot Of pie,
Jam, cake and other foods containing
sugar. All children wriggle coatin-
uaIly. This is healthy sign of
energy, but If the child is deprived of
the proper amount Of food and especi-
ally sugar, which is an important
food, he is apt to develop some
special nervous disease. "
Here we have it on the best
authority that child should haye all
the jam, pie and cake he can eat.
Back we go with one long stride to
first principles. Olce there was
time when boys and girls were
crammed with all the varigated
sweets Of generous pantrys, That
was the day Of the old fashioned
mothers, Heaven bless 'em, who
possessed a peculiar knowledge OF
children and knew what was good for
them. Bat the old-fasnioned mothers
were overruled by the cult of the
dietitions who invested the feeding
of hungIy children with cold and
heartless sci ntitic regulation The
children were prsei away from the
cookies and the jam and were denied
those liberties ia things culinary they
had enjoyed since the world began.
But thank goodness DR.. Woods
Hutchinson is the children's friend.
He remembers, no doubt, with a
large element of human sympathy,
the hunger of his early youth. There
is no hunger like that of an active
and growing boy or girl. 1t is animal
hunger. And with animal instinct
the boy and girl knows to great
extent what is coed for him. The
youngster will eat too much If given
the chaLce, but it is true that jam
nd cake and pies were made to eat
And who has better appetite for
them than the hollow youngster with
the craving for sweets.-Kansas City
