A breach of the marital faith on the
part of the husband or of the wife is
considered adultery in European laws.
There is no doubt but that the prac-
tice Of keeping concubines in this
country is certainly breach Of the
marital faith. If the ancient classis
allow such a practice 1t is serious
blot on our classical literature, and If
Confuscianism tolerates the keeping
Of concubines, 1t is a great defect in
the teaching Of that ancient sage. Be
sides such practice is injurious to

and advised that national movement should
be organized to be known as the chewing
movement" He said: "The education OF the
average man, woman and child has been sadly
neglected. They have not been taught to use
their teeth. When we bolt our food we ignore
of the most important ferments, ptyalln,
in our saliva, that has much to do In the
process of digestion. But the American habit
is to spit, and Americans are the greatest spit
ters of the world. Between meals they will
spit out the invaluable saliva, then when they
eat they wash down every unchewed bolus OF
food with copious draughts Of water, coffee, or
in summer iced tea. What foolish, disgust
ing habit it is and more than foolish, more
than disgusting 1t is killing in its hurtfulness,
1t has been stated that fully Is per cent.
Of the people Of this country bolt their food.
This habit is usually acquired during the early
years of childhood and carried on during ones
whole life
1t should be the duty of all parents to make
their children eat slowly and chew their food
properly. Nature has placed these teeth in
mouth for purpose, very valuable pur-
pose, too, and IL we neglect to properly use
them we are inviting conditions that seriously
threaten our health and general welfare.
Diseases of the nose and mouth have
great influence upon the dental arch of the
mouth, particularly adenoid growths in the
nose If the nose is filled up with these ade-
noids the free passage Of air along the nasal
membranes becomes obstructed and results
in the child becoming what is known as
mouth breather." In this change from the
normal physiological nasal breathing the den-
tai arch is deformed and irregular teeth is
the result. Many of these cases are deplor-
able, for 1t not only impairs the ability of the
individual to masticate food properly, but it
interferes with the voice and changes the
whole facial appearance Of the person. An
other deplorable condition due to these nasal
growths is the effect they may have on the
mentality of the child. They become stupid,
forgetful, inattentive and lack the power Of
mental concentration. This is caused by
these growths obstructing the Emphatic cir
culation of the brain, preventing the proper
supply Of nutrition essential to its develop
ment. These adenoid growths not only affect
the dental arch Of the mouth, but they are the
frequent causes of deafness in children. DR..

sinew would be employed, and the
men would be paid little, because with
out tools and knowledge they must
always earn little. But America puts
brains, science, steam, electricity, ma.

knowledge, in other words-and she
pays good wages because a man thus
equipped does the work of ten men

WORK FOR Jour TOWN."

| The Neodesha (Kan.) Register says
every town has its advantages and
should make the most of them. Every
town is fitted for some one enterprise
more than another, and as soon as it
discovers what that Is it should take
hold of the matter and push it for all
there is in it. One man can not make
town. The newspaper can not 40 IT,
But one man on newspaper with the
help Of the wide-awake men of the
place, all pulling together, can make
a wide difference in the place. Every
man who succeeds in town is help
to it. The more money he makes, if
he spends it, the better for the COM
munity The larger business he builds
up, the more he advertises, the more
attention is called to the town. A man
can not build up an honorable business
in town without helping the coun-
try. The interest of one is the interest
of all. The rivalry that sometimes
exists between towns in the same
county is short-sighted policy.
On the same subject the Sterling
(<an) Bulletin says: mo town will
become business center so long as
its business men rely on a few mer-
chants to make the effort to bring
trade to town. Too often the men in
a few lines of trade are about the
only ones that reach out for custom.
Other merchants wait until these men
have induced the people to come to
town and content themselves with
trade that naturally drifts to their
place. A philosophical man should
ask himself if he is doing his part in
people to town to trade"

NEW MOVEMENT OF THE
FARMERS.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found call for meeting of members
of the Brazos County Farmers Union
and all others interested for the pur.
pose of considering proposition to
establish "a cooperative cotton gin in
Bryan. That the farmers have both
there can be no difference of opinion.
The only question is whether it is ex.
pedient. Mr.. White, the president of
the county union, and other promoters
of the enterprise, of course, believe
that it is, else they would not put
their money into it.
1t is not our province to advise the
farmers in this matter, and would not
be If they had asked it, which they
have not done. They know their own
business and are well able to take
care of themselves. But the editor Of
The Eagle. having had considerable
experience in cooperative agricultural
affairs about a third of a century ago,
takes the liberty to offer few sug-
gestions.
The success or failure of an enter.
prise depends largely on conditions.
It is to be supposed that the farmers
have considered these conditions ma
turely. For instance, there are four
large, well equipped ginning plants in
Bryan already and is there need of
another? If these for any cause have
not given service that Is satisfactory
to the farmers, either because they
can not or will not give such service,
then, unquestionably there is need of
right to judge for themselves on this
point.
Good management is another condi-
ton of success, and more failures re-
suit from the lack of this than any
other cause. In cooperative work 1t
Is indispensable to success that the
management be both capable and hon

age a large business successfully, and |
there are capable men who will look |
out for their own interest rather than |
that of their employers. 1t is not al |
ways easy to find combination of |
these qualifications. One reason why |
so many mistakes are made in cases
of this kind is because favorltism is
allowed to influence the selection of
the manager. If the promoters of the
proposed cooperative gin are wise
they will guard this point carefully.
Finally, it is of the utmost impor-
lance to all concerned that nothing be
done to stir up bad feeling between
the town and country. The country
needs the town and the town needs L
the country, and if both are guided by
wisdom perfect harmony and mutual
will be the result.

will starve." With this folly on her
lips she has rejected the agencies that
would have rescued her from her
never-ending struggle with starvation.
Oftentimes, we know, the same cry
has been heard in England alas !
even in America; our labor unions
even now sometimes lend a willing
ear to such nonsense. There were
riots in England when manufacturers
sought to introduce labor-saving meth
DDS in cotton-spinning; and when rail-
roads were introduced among us there
were doubtless thousands of draymen,
stage drivers and boatmen who, If
they had dared, would have torn up
the rails and thrown them into the
rivers, as the Chinese did along the
Yangste-Kiang. With much the same
feeling the old-time hand compositors
looked upon the coming of the type
setting machine.
And yet with all our engines doing
the work of millions of draymen and
cabmen, with all our factory machines
doing the work of hundreds of thou
