An order has been placed in Pittsburg
calling for about twenty-five miles Of steel
pipe varying in size from two to eight
inches. which, with casing and other
equipment, amounts to about 900 tons and
was divided among five different tube
mills in Pittsburg. Nearly all OF these
plants are well supplied with contracts
for large-sized pipe. owing to activity in
the construction Of new pipe lines for
oil and gas. but the smaller pipe mills
have been idle most of the summer This
caused spirited bidding and a division OF
the order was made necessary.

Some people have a notion that ducks
and geese DO not need grit because they
are not seen picking up large particles OF
stone. They do not need as large a size
OF grit as hens do. for they get sand
when pudding in the bottom Of the
creek and streams where they forage for
weeds and FISH. Ducklings should be pro-
vided with plenty OF sand which takes the
place OF grit So thoroughly do some
duck ralsers believe in grit that they mix
sand in the feed that they give their
young ducks.

Poor Father!

Children, hush! for fathers resting;
he is sitting, tired and sore, with his
feet upon the table and his hat upon the
floor. He is weary and exhausted by
the labors of the day, he has talked
about the tariff since the dawn was cold
and gray; he has lost eight games of
checkers, for his luck today was mean,
and that luck was still against him
when he bucked the slot machine; SO
his nerves are under tension, and his
brow is dark with care and the burdens
laid upon him seem too great for him
to bear. Stop the clock for it annoys
him; throttle that canary bird; take that
baby to the cellar were its bowling
won't be heard. You must speak IN
whispers, children, for your fathers
tired and sore, and he seems to think
the ceiling is some kind of cuspidor. O,
he's broken down and beaten by the
long and busy day; he's been sitting in
the feed store on bale of prairie hay,
telling how the hungry grafters have
the country by the throat, how the
tariff on dried apples robs the poor man
of his coat, how this nasty Pinchot rum
pus might be settled once for all--and
his feet are on the table and his back
against the wall; let him find his home
quiet and a heart consoling nest, for
fathers weak and weary, and his spirit
longs for rest.

The Doctors Question

MUCH SICKNESS DUE TO BOWEL Dis

A doctors first question when con-

thoroughly before health can be re-
stored.

value that we promise to return the

strengthening, healing influence on the
entire intestinal tract. They do not
purge, grippe, cause nausea, flatulence,
excessive looseness, diarrhoea or other
annoying effect. They are especially
for children, weak persons or old folks.

THIS OLD WORLD
GOING STARK MAD
That is the Startling Theory of Or. Forbes
Winslow, the Famous EngiIsi, Ex-
pert in Criminal Lunacy.

London, Oct. 1.-The world is going
mad. DR.. Forbes Winslow, the famous
expert in criminal lunacy, propounds
this startling theory in his volumn of
"reminiscences, published today by John
Ousely, Limited, entitled "Recollections
of Forty Yeare."
"By asimple arithmetical calculation.
he writes, ''it can be shown the exact
year where there will be more insane
persons in the world than sane.
'We are gradually approaching with
the decadence of youth, a near proxim-
ity to nation of madmen. By COM
pairing the lunacy statistics of 1869 with
those of 1909-40 decades have inter-
vened-the statistics being so taken, my
reflections are sad indeed. A terrible
but real curse is in store, and an insane
world is looked forward to by me with
a certainty in the not far distant future.
"In 1869, out of population of 22,-
223, ,299, there were 53,177 registered
lunatics in England and Wales, there
being one lunatic in every 418 Of the
total population; W hereas in 1909, out of
a population of IS, 756, 6l5, the number
of registered lunatics was 128, 787, max
ing on an average one lunatic in every
278 Of the population, so that in 40 years
an enormous increase in lunacy is seen.
Surely dreadful future for nations
still unborn to have to cope with. These
are facts, and sad to reflect upon. They
must be accepted. They cannot in any
way be challenged.
DR.. Winslow says he has "breathed
the atmosphere Of lunacy for a period
extending over 60 years." and the con-
clusions' he arrives at are pessimistic in
the extreme.
He has no hesitation in declaring that
the human race has degenerated, and
is still progressing in downward d.
rection. '.t..-.
''The youths of the present age are
much more insipid than formerly, less
manly and insutficiently developed.
"Where are the manly, broad-shoul-
dered youths who could be seen 40 years
ago? They are few and far between.
They have been displaced by narrow,
limp, badly formed, weak young man,
slouchlng along the street"
