To His Benefit.

A Tennessee congressman enjoys
telling story of a darky in his dis
trict who in a way is something of a
philosopher.
Some one was saying to Nose one
day: You're always in trouble. Nose.
Why can't you try to do better? You're
a likely sort of darky. and you could
get along very well If only you'd behave
yourself-keep steady job instead of
drinking bad whisky and getting your
self behind the bars half the time"
Excuse me, boss" said Nose. with
grin, "but 1t looks to me like makes

small target to Il bush near the rivers

tuberculosis.
tuberculosis affects cattle. swine and
man. 1t has been clearly proved that
tuberculosis can be transmitted to
swine through the milk of affected
cows, and II is very probabl that II
can be transmitted to human beings I'm

tuberculosis can seldom be told nv

the best looking cows in the herd will
be the worst affected. tuberculosis ia
easily transmitted from one COW i'm n
herd to another The only safe way TO
do is TO get the herd on a healthy basis
and keep ii there. The tuberculin test
applied by a competent man is n sure
means of detecting the disease. The
diseased animals should be sold to n
soapmaker at once. If the disease
is present only in certain local parts of
the body the rest may be all right for
use. After the herd is once cleaned
up no animals should be brought on
the place that have not been subjected
To the test. In this way only can a
healthy herd be maintained.

OF transmitting the disease from one
COW to another. All litter in the stall
where the affected COW is kept should
ne burned as soon as cleaned out.
For internal use the carbolic acid
treatment has given the best results.
one of the best ways to give this is
In salt at the rate of parts to 100
parts Of barrel salt. Pure carbolic
acid comes in crystals and will have
TO be liquefied by placing the bottle in
not water for a few moments. The
ncid should be poured over the salt
and stirred in well. This makes an
excellent preventive. 1t should be
placed where the cows can get il at
all times, beginning at least five
months before calving with COWS that
have previously aborted and three
months with those that have not.
All new COWS should be kept sepa
rate from the rest Of the herd until II is
certain that they are free from infec.

they should be returned to the seller
or subjected TO strict course of pre-.

TOURNAMENT PARADE
LEAVES A PROBLEM
1t Is Hoped That This viii Be Met
by the Receipts from Sports
at the Park Next
Saturday

PASADENA, Jan. 2-Just now the
greatest municipal problem is con-
nected with financing the Tournament
of Roses and all depends upon the re-
suit of the Tournament park program
next Saturday. In order to make this
as great a success as possible, it is
probable that all the stores of the
city will declare next Saturday after
noon holiday, and it is understood
that this plan will be taken up by the
civic organizations tomorrow with. a
view to putting it through, if possible.
While Saturday afternoon is a bad
time for the stores to close, it is sug-
gested by some of the. civic leaders
that the stores need to close only dur
ing the time of the park exercises,
permitting all of the working people
of the city to attend the park sports.
1t is also thought the aeroplane fight
will attract many from Los Angeles
and other nearby cities for it will be
the first fight of the kind in the his
tory of the state, and the people have
never seen one of these devices in op-
Grafton. This feature is now an as
sured fact.
About $4,000 is needed to pay the bills
of the tournament already incurred,
and if this money is not secured at
Tournament park next Saturday the
merchants and business people upon
the guarantee fund will have to pay
for the pageant which was given under
such disadvantages and which proved
a complete artistic success in spite of
the rain.
It is argued that if a half holiday is
declared at least ten thousand people
will have the chance to go to the park
and the average admission should be
about 81 each. If such a crowd could
be secured the expenses of the pageant
would not only be met, but there
would even be a surplus.
Work of fixing up the new half-mile
track. so badly washed by the rain,
will be taken up tomorrow, and it is
thought that with a dry week the
track will be in perfect condition by
next Saturday.

SATAN CONTROLLED
DECLARES PASTOR
Rev. Charles Edward Locke Addresses
Congregation at First Metho-
dist Church on "Truth
About the DeviP

1.-THE Truth About the Devil: Where
Did He Come From? Why Does God
Not Kill Him?" was the subject of Dr.
Charles Edward Locke at the First
Methodist church last night.
DR. Locke said in part:
''It is not necessary to present an
argument to know that there is evil
in the world. We personally feel the
influence of the evil, and | sympathize
with Paul when he wrote, The good
that l would, 1 do not, but the evil
which 1 would not, that l do What
ever may be the mysteries concerning
the origin, and the existence, and the
power of the devil, it is certain that
God no more created him than that
God is the creator of sin, sickness,
blasphemy and murder. And, more
over, the devil has his limitations. He
is not a deity contending. with God
for the final control of the universe
He is compelled to obey the command
of humble faith, Get thee behind me.
Satan, and Satan trembles when he
sees the weakest saint upon his knees.
1.-THE devil has his beatitudes, as for
instance: Blessed are the vain in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of Satan.
Blessed are the blasphemers, for they
shall receive blasphemies. Blessed are
the corrupt in heart, for they shall see
Satan. Blessed are the peace breakers,
for they shall be called the children of
Satan
I'm the DEVILS creed the principle
continually exploited is the exaltation
of self. The appeal is made at mans
weakest point: He that humbleth HIM
self shall be abased; he that exalteth
himself shall be exalted The appeal
is TO self-to vanity! The devil cajoles
and fatters and deftly presents plaus-
ible arguments. There is no other fell
