PROMPT SERVICE

Two young men, evidently from
Pumpkin Center, entered the johnson
City Steam Laundry yesterday with
the inquiry if that was the place where
they washed and ironed collars. One
wanted q collar laundried, the Other
shirt in time to catch an outgoing
train that was due to leave in five
minutes. While this laundry has a
reputation for prompt service, this
was sumner; and the order was pc.
litely turned down. The management,
no doubt, will now put in tub ror

So long as an owner is certain of
the difficulty and has knowledge and
experience as to treatment or RENE
dy he may depend upon home re-
sources. But in cases of obscurity, un-
certainty or complications the owner
of good COW disregards his own in
terests and his moral obligation If he
fall to summon veterinarian, as

Judicial to the health of milch cows
as to that of human beings. Some
recently promulgated theories of dark,
warm stables and no exercise for prof
liable milk production are without a
rational basis and certain to lead to
disastrous results sooner or later. Ex-
posure to storms and cold Is equally
injurious to the health and profit of
COWS. A judicous mean is the provi-
sion for moderate exercise in the open
air and sunshine. and the application
of the same common sense care for
the comfort of cows which one would
approve for members of his own

GUS business that will deliberately de-
stroy all the forests of half dozen
states for little immediate gain; and
still more curious is the lassitude that
allows the destruction to go on. The
French have method of tapping trees
which gives a profitable return and
leaves the trees practically uninjured.
In this way an industry is perpetuated,
but our American tapping is another
thing
The trees are cut with broad ak,
hewing out great slices and leaving
scars from which the resin flows into
boxes at the bottom of the cut and is
scraped once month into casks. The
cut is repeated each year, and in six
or seven years the tree is exhausted.
