Boy Scouts THE lfS of \ CRIME

lRURDERS and suicides, the result
| lvl of social injustice. happen so
frequently that we usually give
them but passing thought. 1t is only
when the circumstances are more than
ordinarily horrible or sensational that
comment seems called for. Such an
occurrence took place in Rockland,
Maine, where poor devil of laborer
poisoned his three children and then
committed suicide. He left letters
behind which show that he was driven
to commit the act through contempla-
ton of the life that seemed in store
for his little boy and his two little
girls. He saw that the present sys-
TEN could offer, them nothing better
than a chance TO become industrial
slaves and could not even guarantee
with certainty the poorest Kind of iv-
| ing, no matter how willing to work
they might be.
Now it is not question whether
the man did wrong. It is useless to
discuss that. The question for con-
sideration is why should we tolerate
system that drives men to such des-
peration? There is nothing in the let
ters the poor wretch left behind to
show that he had ever been given to
understand that a better social order
| is possible and probable, even within
the time he might have lived. In all
probability he was one of the nnfortu-
mates who still do not know that men
and women are striving to change con-
ditions so that they and their children
might look forward to brighter flu
| ture than the existing social system
can offer.
The chances are that if he had heard
Tor read anything at all about the radi-
cal movements it was one Of the sheer
ing references or deliberate misrepre-
sensations in which too many daily
papers habitua1ly indulge. Some of
the letters were addressed to his pas
tor and show him to have been a regu-
lar attendant at church. Had this pas
tor been one of those courageous ones
who do not hesitate to point out that
the institutions underlying a social
system, which condemns men, women
and children to suffering and starva-
ion. exist contrary to the ethical prin-
ciples on which all religions are found
ed, he might have been a means of
giving this man new hope andNcourage.
# the poor fellow had only been in
touch with the progressive movements
of the day; If he had only been given
to understand how work is going on
in which he might have helped, work 1
that will free humanity from such
menace as he saw threatening his
children; If he had understood that
such reforms are coming rapidly
enough to make ii. certain that his ED
est child, boy of six, might reason
ably hope to enjoy its BENEFITS before
reaching manhood; il this knowledge
had been impaired to him 1t is prob
able. If not certain, that be would not
have succumbed to the despair which
drove him to THE commission Of SO
horrible crime. He would have
found life stilI worth living.
It is 4 terrible responsibility that Is |
assumed by uphOlders Of existing 90 |
cial Injustice.

IMPORTANCE OF
FARM HORSES
Animals, in mbina tion With
Modern Machinery, Have to
Great Extent Replaced
Human Labor.
AZ THOMAS p. CooPER.l

- III u
AT present the horse is practically
the entire motive power of the farm.
In combination with improved farm
machinery. the horse has, 10 a great
extent, replaced human labor. And
the modern farm depends as much
upon the efficiency of the horse that
is kept to perform the labor as 1t does
upon the use of the human labor upon
the farm. In fact. the efficiency of
human labor upon the farm, and in
many instances the proper operation
of the farm. depends entirely upon
the farm horse. We may readily I'M
derstand. therefore. that the farm
horse is often the greatest single fac
tor in the success of the farming oper-
atoms. Ii is essential. then. that the
farm horse be so cared for. and the
farm so organized, that a maximum
return on the horses labor can be
secured annually.
Ii is true that horse owners gener.
ally are not accustomed to look upon
the horses of the farm. or their labor.
as costing anything. The horse has
been considered so much of a neces-
oiIy, anu 81 luuCu part OF the farm.
that the question of the cost of the
horse labor to the farm, or of the
methods by which such cost may be
decreased, has been very largely neg.
lected. The question of economy of
power on the farm H. only brought up
at those times when consideration is
being given to some other form of
motive power than the horse. II is a
question. though. that-with increas-
Ing cost of feed. of care. and larger
investment in horses--will constantly
become OF greater and greater i'm.

The cost Of horse labor depends
upon many conditions that vary OH

lar on different farms However. the
Items that make up cost are similar
on all farms. and only vary in amount.
II is essential. then. that the farm

of what comprises cost. and what ave
rage costs are. that me may institute

CHlLD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

Il think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had rash on its head when II
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but It did
no good. In a few days the head was
solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment.
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and APP
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the childs head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head of hair. l think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund. Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment are sold everywhere. a sample
OF each, with 32-page book. will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. IL l., Boston.

DANGEROUS eaciIIl IN Dust,

A statement issued recently by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis speaks of
the dangers from house dust, espe-
cially in rooms that are not well ven-
tilated- The association warns against
dry sweeping. and against the use of
the feather buster, or other devices
that scatter, but do not take up the
dust. Since the ordinary dust blown
about in the streets is impregnated
with disease germs, the National AS
ISOLATION urges the adoption of meth
DDS that will prevent the further dis
semination of such bacilli. 1t also
urges for the coming months OF fall
and winter. more open windows and
more fresh air in house. shop, and
schoolroom.
