FOR OR AGAINST.

1t seems to me it is about time
for the 100000 professors of
religion in America to take sides.
Ii is going to be an ont and out
battle with drunkenness and SO
briefly, between heaven and hell,
between God and the devil. Take
sides before your sons are sacrl-
feed and the new homes of your
daughters goes down under the
alcoholism of an imbruted hus-
band.
Take sides while your voice,
your pen, your prayer, your vote
may have an influence in arrest
ing the despoilation of this ma
ton. If the millions of professed
christians in this country would
take sides now, it would not be
long until the destiny of this
nation would be decided in the
right direction. On the question
before the American people to-
day, there is no neutral ground.
You are either for or against all
that is for the betterment of the
race and nation.

WINTER PAVING.

Hiawatha, after more or less
elaborate testing of different paw
ing brick, has let the contract for
their street paving to a Fort
Scott firm. The contract calls
for approximately 2S,000 square
yards Of paving. There will be
1000 yards of excavating to do.
1t will require 10 carloads of
rock, 90 carloads of sand, l57
carloads of brick, $500 barrels
of cement and 100 tons of pitch.
Evidently from the scope of
the contract let, Hiawatha does
not intend to play at the game
of street paving, but has TAX
en- the matter up for good and
earnest. When the present plans
are fully completed our sister
town across the line will have
something to be proud of.

PROF. j. L. GILLIAN.

The closing number at our
Chautauqua on Sunday night, was
a very practical address for all
classes, by Prof. Gillian, ON The
Man Who Cam
He demonstrated that the per
SOL who can and does things
worth while. must be well born,
have pluck, knowledge and faith.
The youth especially received
great encouragement to place
their aims above the trivial. The
Chautauqua this year gave us
many excellent things, and Mr.
Gillans' effort easily ranks among
the best.
Prof. Gillian is president OF
Ashland, Ohio College, and for
several years has occupied a
chair as one of the instructors at
the Iowa State University.

A Nice Distinction,

He was hurrying for the train, some.

tanning a large, live turkey. AS he ap-
preached the gate the guard stopped
him with a gesture,
you can't take that through here
he said. "That'H have to be checked
or go by express"
But l can't STOP" declared the pas
senger. I've got to get this train"
and he tried to push through again.
The guard held him back. That is
baggage" he said, firmly, "and it must
go in the baggage car"
"Oh, no." replied the other, with a
charming and confident smile, "it's
luggage. Don't you see I'm Juggling
it?" and he had slipped by before the
astonished guard had caught his
breath.-Youth's Companion.

MHuIonths of Second.

In experiments with high-power ex-
plosives used in guns. British scient-
lists have employed ch%ronoscopes
which registered the velocity of the
projectile at ten successive points be-
fore 1t left the bore.
1t is possible with this apparatus to
register time to the millionth of a Sec

In the older experiments, where the
velocity did not exceed 1900 or 1000
feet a second. the projectile recorded
its time by knocking down a series of
steel triggers projecting into the
bore, but with velocities of $500 feet

Bathroom Hints.

A can of borax should be In every
bathroom and the pipes should have a
daily flushing with hot water in which
borax has been dissolved. Do not use
sand soap for cleaning a porcelain tub
or washstand. 1t will mar the surface
and make it look like ground glass.
Then If the porcelain becomes stained
you cannot make it white again. Use
ammonia in the water, but If dirt or
grease requires an extra cleanser
dampen the scrub cloth with kerosene
and later wash the tub with warm wa
ter. If the tub is enameled scour with
a cloth made of a salt bag which has
been thoroughly moistened with tur-
pentine and polish with a clean cloth.
For this purpose save bags in which
the kitchen salt comes.

Lack DEVELOPMENT.

The world is full of half-devel-
oped lives; men and women who
are competent in spots, as strong
in some things as they are weak
in others, brilliant as some of
their ways and walking in dark
ness as to others; the man of af-
fairs loses vision, the philosopher
loses practical sense, the scien-
fist becomes an animated, soul
less scalpel, and all for the want
of an aim that would preserve
balance and harmony in the life.

LIGHTS ON THE SUEZ CANAL
Every Vessel Passing Through the Big
Ditch Must Carry a Number Of
the Search Variety.

Every war vessel carries from n
to twenty searchlights. and every yes
sci of any description whatever pass
ing through the Suez canal has to
carry one of special pattern. A
s~earchlight consists essentially of an
arc lamp of special form, a parabolic
mirror and a base to hold the lot, the
case being mounted so as to be ca
pable of movement In two directions,
viz, vertically and horizontally. The
hood, as this case is called, is made
of sheet steel about 3-32 inch thick.
h turntable ~trunnions, etc, are cast
In gunmetal, the arms which support
the hood are of cast steel. The lamp
box is formed as part of the hood.
The mirror Is carried on springs in
the back cover, and at the front of
the hood is a front glass mounted
In q gunmetal ring, and the disper-
sion lens, when carried, is hinged on
in front of this. Training Is carried
out by means of a worm and worm
wheel, or by a rack and pinion. Slew
ing is effected by means of a pinion
which gears into a crown wheel on the
underside of the tur9table, or else it
is done directly by hand. The Suez
canal regulations require that the pro-
%jector shall be capable of giving the
light required under two different con-
ditions-in the first case a broad, fiat
beam of light Illuminating both banks
and the canal uninterruptedly, this
being used when no other ship is ap-
preaching; in the other case they re-
quire a beam having the same angle
of divergence and consequently the
same width as the first, but divided
into two portions, with a dark interval
between, thus giving light at both
sides but not directly in front and so
not interfering with navigation of the
approaching vessel.

THIS WILL HOLD EN-.

Not long ago one of the maya
zines printed an article IN which
an argument was made in favor
of alcohol as a beverage.
Now, as ever, it is the drinking
people that lead the progress of
humanity. The Jews drank and
gave us monotheism. The Greeks
drank and gave Il s art and lit
erature. The Romans drank and
gave us law. The Teutons drank
and gave us liberty. Britain es-
tablished commerce. What have
the teetotal races done for the
betterment of the world2
The New Voice analysed the
above paragraph and did it in the
following simple manner:
The Jews drank of course, but
where are the Jews now? They
are scattered over the earth with
out any national home. Total abb
stainers are now taking up sub
scriptions everywhere to provide
Il place for the jew where he
won't be killed.
The Greeks drank. of course,
but where are the Greeks now
The Greek civilization is a matter
of history, and their descendants
are now peddling peanuts to alb
stainers on the street corners Of
American cities.
The Romans drank, of course
but where is the Roman en-
pire today 1t is a matter of
ancient history, and the descend
ants of these drinking Romans
are now brawling around Ameri-
can cities with monkey and hand
organs living off pennies toss
ed to them by abstaining Ameri-
cans.
The Teutons drank, Of course,
but what liberty" did we get
from the Teutons? The Teutons
for years have been running away
from the tyranny and oppression
OF the Teutonic government to
find liberty under the Prohibi-
ton laws Of America.
The Britons drank, of course.
But it required 100000 of these
drinking British trained troops to
subdue 25,000 abstaining Dutch
farmers.
Greece and Rome both died
drunk.
Wise men are writing articles
on the decay Of France, another
drinking nation.
Russia has the delirium trem-
ems and will die or reform, ia
pan, a temperance nation, with
the Oldest dynasty on earth, chas-
ed the vodka-soaked Russians all
over Eastern Asia.

Food Values In Vegetables.

The maligned onion belongs to the
lily family and contains priceless ele-
ments of health and nourishment, es-
pecially to nerves and blood. The
turntp, also, has medicinal and food
virtue, though it Is not so nourishing,
containing, like cabbage, over 80 per
cent. of water. The yellow turnip is
considered a mild nervine. The
unpopular carrot is almost miraculous
as a blood purifier, and French wom-
en- consider 1t as important as n
cosmetic. 1t has, also, undreamed-of
possibilities of preparation. Calling
things by other names sometimes
helps matters, OF making fashionable
by favor of the famous. In Ceylon
they term okra ladies fingers" the
vegetable marrow of Europe Is virtu-
ally the same as our summer squash,
but is used in, to us, unheard-of ways.
Luther Burbank has improved the
pie plant" and his new crimson win
ter rhubarb is a wonderful thing. But
In the ordinary type of these stalks
there are riches of oxalic and malic
acids, the value of which the physi-
clans OF the world nave always recog-
nized-The Delineator.

AN EDUCATED COOK NEEDED
Kitchen Experiments Are often at the
Expense of the Physical WelI-Be-
Ing Of the Household.

Social standing depends partly upon
the nature of the individuals calling
with regard to the preparation ece
sary to the exercise of his function.
The civil engineer Is presumed to be
a more agreeable companion for cul-
tured persons than the stable boy, be-
cause of his education. The lawyer Is
required to know more than the sea-
venger. The surgeon is likely to be
more widely read than the pugilist.
The diplomat is, presumably, better
informed than the chimney sweep.
The cook, as at present constituted,
belongs at the bottom rung of the so
cial ladder, because her calling has
no educational requirements. The In
dividual may read Browning, Hogarth,
~Schopenhauer and Shakespeare, or in
terpret Wagner and Strauss. But the
class is not required to know the diff
ference between the meanings OF
physiology" and "phlebotomy." The
cook is not expected to know anything
more about the ingredients that
should enter into the composition of
a corn dodger than she a learn In
the course of often-repeated expert
ments and at the expense of the
physical we'll being of the household.
She neither knows nor cares what the
effect of certain foods may be, and the
employer shares her ignorance. 1t is
said to be a fact that more persons
die before their time from the results
of eating than from drinking.-Louis-
Vile Courier-Journal.

GENERALIZATION OF C0UN-
TRY SCHOOLS.

The public schools of Fairyiew,
Kansas and outlaying districts
are planning to consolidate and
have a centrally located and
graded school of sufficient ca
pacity to accommodate the child
rem from all the districts that be-
come parties to the consolidation.
The children that are too far
away to be able TO walk to the
central school conveniently, will
be transported to and from school
free of charge.
This plan has been in success
full operation in the East for a
number of years, and it offers
the only tangible solution of the
country school problem in many
places. With the Improvement
of the public roads it will become
entirely practicable in most
communities. The greatest
drawback to the plan now, is the
condition Of many of the public
roads, which makes the item of
transporting the children to and
from school, too expensive to be
practicable.
With the consolidation of a
number of schools into one cen
trail school, it will be possible to
have all the advantages of the
ely school system, with its grad
ed courses and high school. 1t
is found that the saving in teach
ing force and the saving III keep
ing up and caring for II number
OF separate buildings will com
pensate for the extra expense OF
more efficient teachers and for
transporting the scholars,
Fairview has taken an advane.
ed step in the matter of proyid'
ing better educational facilities
for their country boys and girls
The results of their experiment
will be watched with interest. II
it proves practicable and sue
cessful in Fairview, other places
will not be slow in taking advan.
take of the plan. However, the
success of the central school idea
is largely contingent upon better
roads. With better roads it is
sure to follow. Let us have the
proper roads by all means.

MARKET +,
Letter From our Regular Correspond.
ent at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Aug. 10, 1910
Moderate cattle receipts arrived
last week, and there was not
much change in the market. The
feeders sold higher the first days
of the week, account of the many
buyers here, but demand fell off
after Tuesday, and the advance
was lost. Killing cattle held full
ly steady during the week, me-
dunn and light cattle showing
some slight gains, and calves adj
vanccd % cents during the week.
Dry weather cattle are running
freely to Chicago, $1,000 rangers
there last week, about twice the
normal supply for this early in
the season. Rains have stopped
the movement from most sections
except the northwest, owners
holding back because of plenty of
good feed, and running water in
streams dry a short time ago, and
it looks like Kansas City would
have rather light supplies Of eat
tie another week or two. Run to-
day is $4,000 head including 1000
calves, and the market averages
steady. Beef steers are a shade
lower in some cases, but cows and
stockers and feeders and calves
T stronger today. Light runs
should strengthen the market, but
there are two bear features pres
ent this week, namely, the extra
heavy marketing of rangers at
Chicago, and the absence of de
mand for kosher meat in the East,
due to a series of Jewish holidays
extending over nine days, com
mencing next Saturday. Best
heavy Kansas wintered natives
and westerns 1925 to $7.15 and
straight grass steers $3.50 to
1915, grass cows around 1915
veals $500 to $3.50. Some of the
Baer beef steers from Colorado
will be here tomorrow.
The surprise in the hog market
last week a a sudden jumping
into favor of heavy hogs, which
class advanced 30 to 40 cents last
week. Medium and light weights
also made gains, but not so much
and the week closed with only a
moderate spread in prices be-
tween the various grades. Total
receipts at all the markets de-
creasing last week, and traders
look for light runs for awhile.
Heavy hogs worth 1915 to 1915,
medium weights up to $50, top
lights 1915. The weakness to-
day is not taken as indicating
lower prices this week, but on
the contrary strength is expect
ed, as lard and heavy meats are
considered good property by pack
ers. The corn prospect and the
hog market will be closely asso-
ciated for some time ahead.

TO FRIENDS OF OUR CAUSE

The Tribune is the champion Of
the rights and the interests of the
common people. The people need
the Tribune that they may be in
diligently informed concerning
the great issues that are now be-
fore the public for solution. On
the other hand, the Tribune needs
the help and support of the peo-
pie We are engaged in a com
mon warfare against a common
foe. Our interests are mutual.
There is no reason why we should
not pull together for the largest
and best things. In the fight
that is now being waged we a
not safely advance far ahead of
u supporting columns. We
are ambitious to make the Trib-
une the power for everything
that is right and good in south
eastern Nebraska As our sub
scription list increases and the
number Of our advertising patr-
ons we are enabled to ad to and
improve the Tribune, but not any
faster without jeopardizing the
stability of the paper. We want
1000 new subscribers by January
LIST. We are going after them
with the expectation of getting
them. Quality comes high. We
need money to run IA high class
paper. On the otherhand. it
matters little how excellent a pap
err may be, if it is not read it can
accomplish very little.
We believe that we are right.
For the right a man can afford
to fight and suffer and even die.
Every paper that goes into a new
home Is a messenger witnessing
to the work WI + trying to do.
No person interested in the uplift
and advancement of the race need
be ashamed to have a part in this
grand work. We appeal to all
right minded men to give us their
good will. and such a measure of
support as the may feel justified
in giving. The least that youcan
do is to pay up. Don't ask us to
fight your battles and at the same
time make our own ammunition.
1t is too risky. When possible do
us the kindness to pay ahead.
1t is a trivial matter for you but
makes all the difference in the
world to us, since it provides the
working capital. Then, there is
the matter of speaking a good
word for the cause to the other
fellow, and winning his support.
1t is a little thing but when well
done is sure to be effective.
The great reforms of History
never were accomplished through
good intentions, alone. The chal-
lenge is to men TO do something.
The enemy is alert and agrees
i've. Unless we front him effect
lively, we will have nothing but
defeat for our pains. The future
of the greater Nebraska is in the
balance. The peace and happi-
ness of our homes are at stake.
1t is not for us as men to sit sup
inely while the spoilers waste our
land. You can at the least hold
the ropes while some of US go
down to the battle.
