Fighting Regiments of the Sixth Corps.

Henry Fl. Gushee. Hamilton, O.. criti-
ciZes the statement that the 5th Wis.
was one of the three fighting regiments
in the Sixth Corps. He saw the corps
on several battlefelds, and always
thought that every regiment in it was a
lighting regiment. He remembers how
well the corps did at Salem Hights and
elsewhere, and never could see any diff
ference in the regiments. 1t seems
strange that out of 5000 men as good
as were in the Sixth Corps there should
be only three fighting regiments.

ROCKY BOY INDIAN LANDS
OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT.

Secretary Ballinger has issued In
structions to throw open 1,4000 900
acres of land in Eastern Montana to
white settlers.
This land was withdrawn about two
years ago for the purpose of allotting
to the 2ocky Boy Indians. The tract
contains the very choicest lands In
Valley County and wherever farming
has been carried on, it has produced
yields of from 20 to 80 bushels OF
wheat per acre, 40 to 70 bushels of
oats and large crops of hay, alfalfa
and vegetables.
There are over 5000 16O-acre home
steads in this tract, which is con-
siderable more than the combined total

The Wonderful Y. M. C. A.

In the past ten years no other re-
ligious organization has received so
much money as the Y. NJ. G. A. Mil
lions have been raised for new build
ings all over the land, and with no ap-
parent strain. It's business-like admin
istration of it's vast resources, its en-
ergy in pushing it's work-in the cities
and through the railroad, army and
navy branches-and it's fine policy in
following the armies in all recent
wars, have created for it worldwide
enthusiasm. At the last banquet of
the international committee, Senator
Root affirmed that they had made
their way by working with men more
than by talking to them, saying:
Come with US" not Go do that"
By their appeal to all classes of Chris
tians, as well as to Christians,
they have kept out of doctrinal theol-
ogy, and by their activity in good works
they have escaped cant in religion.
All interested in saving our boys and
young men rejoice in their worldwide
success.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Fioht Aoainst Tuberculosis.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 163 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed,
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
ais were established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso
Citations for the prevention of tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious IL months, and 62 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January 1, 1910, there were in the Uni
ted States 1914 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations, 386 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispensaries.

CLEAR-HEADED

my wife and I drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago,
and VIC have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t

About three and half years ago

Next day it came, but the cook made
the mistake of not boiling it sufficient
ly, and we did not like 1t much. This
was, however, soon remedied, and now
we like it so much that we will never
change back. Postum, being a food
beverage instead of drug, has been
the means of curing my stomach trou.

- HE English sparrow Is the pirate Of
i the air, just as the rat is the free
booter of the earth, and ought to be
exterminated. So rules the depart
ment of agriculture in a bulletin just
published, which also tells how to get
rid Of the pest.
This declaration of war by the gov
ernment is in striking contrast to re-
lief movements started in certain cit
les recently to save these birds from
starvation because of the severe win
ter.
This sparrow studiously, says the
department bulletin, hunts and eats
insects that are beneficial to plant life,
while it passes over more or less those
that are harmful. The only good thing
it does is to eat the seed of weeds and
prevent their spread. Aside from that
there is nothing to be said in its favor.
More than that, it is murderous. 1t

Who Are the Elect?

Two modern statements of the doc
trine of election" neither of which
would quite satisfy John Calvin or
Jonathan Edwards, are given in the
Congregationalist
One was Henry Ward Beecher's cpl
grammatic and convincing phrase:
THE elect are whosoever will; the
non-elect are whosoever won't"
Good as this is, there is another ex-
planation that is star of equal mag
nitude. 1t was made by colored d.
vine, who said:
Brethren, it is this way: The Lord,
he is always voting for man; and the
devil, he is always voting against him.
Then the man himself votes, and that
breaks the tie!"

Government Declares War on Sparrows

hunts the nesting places and destroys
eggs and young blue birds, house
wrens, tree swallows and barn swal-
lows. The robin, the catbird and the
mocking bird it attacks and drives out
of parks and shade trees. 1t has no
song but drives out the song birds
and brings only noise In return.
After having learned all this about
the sparrow, after an extensive in
vestigation, the department of agricul-
ture shows a way to destroy the
bird First, whenever sparrows roost
around your house, destroy their nests.
If they roost at night on your caves
trough, drive them away with long
pole. BY destroying nests wherever
they are seen the increase can be pre-
vented.
The sparrows likes to nest in cavi-
ties and can be trapped through this
preference. 1t will roost in boxes
that may be put up to make it's cap
ture easy. 1t may be lured to spread
grain and shot and killed in other
ways, or may be poisoned.
Wheat soaked in strychnin is said
to be preferable. This method has
been adopted in California, where 1t
was necessary to protect ripening
fruit

live one from Tennessee. A friend
met him after he'd been here three
months and asked him how its was go

"Well, said this fellow who'd HAD
ambitions, I've about made up my
mind that if they'll let me have mine
they can keep the!r'n.'
"You all have heard the story about
the fellow who'd been bitten by rat
tlesnake," said Mr.. Dickinson, in a
gentle query. mo? Well, the fellow
got bitten by the rattlesnake and he
was in desperate condition. A friend
of his grabbed quart flask and start
ed for the place where he knew he
could get the only recognized antidote
for a rattlesnake bite.
"The man there started to fill up the
flask, but it was one of those eastern
commercial TASKS that didn't hold a
quart when 1t ought to have. You
know the kind, gentlemen. The man
who was filling the flask had about
a three finger dose left over and the
kind friend who was waiting to take
the flask to the stricken man saw
there was this much left over.
"'What shall / do with this left
over? asked the man who was, filling
the flask
"'Well, come to think of 1t, that
pesky snake took an awful leap at me,

the flask, and he pretty near got me,

And, speaking Of TASKS, there was
the fellow who went to the legislature
down in Nashville once, and he stood
up and started to make speech.
Maybe he'd been treating his bald

party-and there isn't much Of an op-
