pretty as daisy, which belongs to
the same aster family that lives on
another street. They are called
dandellons, not because there is any
thing leonine about the flower, but
because the leaf is dented like the
teeth of the lion. Dent, tooth; de,
OF; and leo, Iion-dent-de-leon, or
dandelion. BY the way, about the
most strenuous dentistry is pulling
the teeth OF the lion. Almost every
household is bothered with it these
days, and the youngest members of
the family are the ones most
troubled.
Another name for dardel.on is
taraxicum, but that suggests the
drug feature OF the dandelion, which
abstracts the poetry from the lovely
flower, notes the Ohio state Journal.
The finest transmutation OF metals
there is known, is when you take a
dandelion from the sunshine into
the house, when it changes from gold
to silver. But the most beautiful
transformation is from the yellow
petals to CODES OF down, that hap
pens when the night comes on. The
downy radiance seems almost like a
spiritual presence. This is the dan
delion's reward for being so modest
and unassuming-it becomes almost
a beautiful spirit when the day is
gone.

Adam LittIepage.

Adam Littlepage shows himself an
egotist of the worst type in his de-
scription of himself in the congress
sional directory. What he says OF
himself is amusing, when one takes
into consideration that self-pra,se is
half scandal. For example, here is
one paragraph Adam wrote and had
published about himself:
>Mr. Littlepage stands very high
as lawyer and citizen throughout
his district and state. He was a can
didate for the nomination for gov
ernor two years ago, but was de.
feated in the convention by the Hon.
Lewis Bennett. The sentiment is
now prevalent throughout the state
that had Mr.. Litt1epage been nomi-
mated he would have been elected.
He bears the reputation OF being a
very grateful man, never forgetting
a Kindness, and is faithful in his
friendship and thoroughly reliable.
He stands for the under man in life.
Works hard, late and early as con-
gresham, and is rejecting credit
upon the country by his manly, con,
servative and wise course in Wash
ington as a representative of all the
people. He is patriotic man OF
ability and fine qualities of mind
and heart"
The Telegram is reminded of the
admiration, "Know myself and ii
Adam is correct in what he says
about himself, when his Adams ap-
pie gets to working, he truly is a
great and good man.

Reports indicate that the frosts
have not killed the fruit in this
county. The bloom is very heavy
and there should be plenty of fruit.
Unfortunate is the tree owner who
does not have his trees in good
shape to bear the best that is in
them. IA little money spent in
trimming and spraying would have
counted for much. Remember this
fact next year.

Moving Pictures and Reform.

Some OF the possibilities OF the
moving picture theater as an insti-
tuition for popular education will be
demonstrated at the meeting of the
National Conference of Charities
and Correction in Boston during the
week OF June TIA.
Under the direction OF Lawrence
WELLER, of New York, chairman OF
the Committee on Housing, Health
and Recreation, a motion picture
equipment will be installed in one OF
the convention halls and films show
ing the house fly as a carrier Of dis
ease, a campaign for pure milk and
the fight against tuberculosis, will
be shown daily. II the demonstra-
ton proves that these films have a
distinct educational value an effort
will be made to secure the co-opera-
ton of various motion picture Aim
manufacturers to reproduce these
and other films designed especially
to teach certain facts in relation TO
public movements.

RECEIVERS from Chambers.

Chambers, disease which afflicts
horses, is, in rare cases, contracted
by human beings. In the Journal
OF the American Medical Association
for May is, DIR. Walter C. Cramp, OF
New York, reports case of chronic
glanders which recovered after five
months treatment with glander vac
cine. The rarity of these cases will
be seen from the fact that there are
only l16O previous cases recorded in
medical literature.
The patient in this case was a
Polish cement worker vino, unlike
the majority of patients suffering
from this disease, had not been in
any way associated with the care or
handling of horses. When the pa
tient was admitted to Bellevue hos
pital, New York, he had abcesses on
both forearmsu on the right calf and
on the left thigh. A guinea pig
inoculated with the pus drawn from
these abcesses developed CHAMBERS.
Injections Of gland vaccine prepared
by the New York Board of Health
were made at. intervals from Janu-
AIRY 20 to June 81, with the result
that the patient recovered com
pletely, no evidence of disease being
found eighteen months after his final
treatment. DIR. Cramp urges
physicians to be constantly on the
outlook for this disease, as it may
be easily overlooked, and says that
multiple assesses, especially on the
limbs, should always excite suspic-
ion.
The mortality in CHAMBERS is ex-
tremely high. death resulting in
ninety-four per cent of all cases re-
ported. The recovery of this patient
following the use of CHAMBERS vaccine
is therefore of particular interest.

Confounding the sord;d,

President Taft has repealed with a
contempt both refreshing and stimu-
lating the last argument against Ca
madam reciprocity brough, to bear
upon him; that the passage =: the
Underwood bill would cost him the
support of the farmers OF the coun-
try If he should he his party's
nominee in 1912.
so far as the effect of this upon
my personal political fortunes is
concerned" he promptly replied to
the spokesman who had the bad
taste and bad judgment to assume
that such an argument could move
him, sit ought not to influence me
and does not influence me in the
slightest
The case for reciprocity is helped
as much by such threat as by the
Presidents retort, declares the phil
adelphia Press. He is a poor friend
indeed of protection, who takes the
sordid ground that tariff schedules
ought to 'be framed to win votes.
There are such protectionlsts-the
hlindest of us know that, But their
evil influences over the economic pol
icy of the country is waning fast, and
one Of the strongest titles that Mr..
Taft has to our esteem and our
gratitude is that he stands like a
rock across their path.

New Way of prolonplnp 1tfo


A new frozen dairy product has
just been invented at the Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station, which combines
the delicious flavor OF ice cream with
the healthfulness OF breakfast food.
Furthermore. this new product
which has been called "lacto," NAV
be the means OF adding several years
to the ordinary lifetime, records c.
" Gregory in "The World Today"
for May. 1t is quite certain that its
value as health food will make the
years that are lived more enjoyable
ones. Lacto contains large num-
beers OF those enemies of old age,
lacttc-acld bacteria. They are pre-
served in cold storage, ready to at
tack the "old age germs" as soon as
they are thawed out. Metchnikofr,
the famous Russian scientist who
Is at the head Of the Pasteur Insti-
tute in Paris, and who is probably
the greatest authority on bacteri-
ology living, in his recent book on
THE Prolongation of Llfe,'' claims
that old age is the result of germ
poisoning. The intestines harbor
large numbers of putrefactive lbac-
terra. These germs develop certain
toxic poisons which are absorbed
into the blood, causing Ill health,
old age, and finally death. Metchni-
koff recommends driving these old
age germs from the body by drink
ing large quantities of sour milk.

have made great improvements in the
art
The original making Of ensilage was
nothing more than in imita ton OF the
dog that digs in the ground to cover
up and keep a bone or something else
ne wanted to keep and eat at a later
date Put. while the silo in the ground
serves a great deal better than none a.
al, it falls short Of being as satisfac.
tory ss those built above ground.
OF course the practical use Of the
silo Is the keeping Of forage in q sue
culent condition, and the most general
adaptation is for the use Of dairy cows.
n this use Of it the consumption Of
ensilage has increased very rapidly In
the last ten years.
II may be that a chemical analysis
does not prove that forage Of any sort
contains more nutriment than the
same would have cut and cured in the
regular way. but It has been the ex-
perience Of all who have used good
corn ensilage tbst it is the best meth
cd TO preserve corn for cattle.
The digestive nutrients IN forage Of
any sort seems to be kept in a more
satisfactory condition as ensilage than
any other way. and q far greater quan-
tity per acre can be got from the
land. SO that any farmer who keeps
many cattle viii be certain to find
thar the silo Is very necessary on his
farm.
