Springfield Republican: Western
high tariff republicans are In a very
ugly mood on account of , the recipro-
city measure. They are threatening
now to join the democrats in knocking
down the tariff all along the line on
New England and eastern manufac-
lures, in retaliation for the removal of
the duties on farm products from Can
ada. These threatenings have been
heard before. Most of the western
republicans have known all along that
the tariff on farm products is a sham.
Yet for all that. they have given sup
port to the high duties on manufac-
lures. and we may be sure that this
abandonment Of the sham will not
change standpatters wholly into free
traders.

EDUCATED FARMERS.
Railroad King Says United States Can

Railroad King Says United States Can
Never Have oversuppIy Of Them.
Few men in the world know more
about farming as wealth producer
than does James J. Hill, the railroad
king; hence this extract from an arti-
Gle of his in the Yale (college) News Is
well worth perusal.
1T seems probable to me-" writes
Mr.. Hill, that there are a good many
hundred university graduates in this
country every year who would be bet
ter off If they had shaped their studies
with a view to agricultural industry
and taken their diploma straight to the
farm.
''There Is not and never will be any
oversupply of educated farmers.
AT the same time the man with
university education, supplemented by
Just such practical instruction as he
would feel essential to any other occu
patton, is certain of success on the
farm in proportion to his ability and
industry.
II do not think of any other occupa-
ton Of which these sweeping asser-
tons can be made. do not know of
any in which it is more possible to con-
unue in connection with the main
business of earning a living than en-
richment and enlargement of the mind,
which is the best gift Of university
life and its proper though seldom real
ICED continuation after the university
has been left behind
Except for those who have made
the acquisition of wealth and power
their definite aim in life l think the
farm, offers advantages superior to
those Of business or the professions"

GOOD VENTILATION.

Il Possesses an Actual Cash Value In
the Workshop.
That proper ventilation in factories
has an actual cash value has been well
illustrated in the case Of firm Of
shirt and collar manufacturers in Ber-
lin, Ont, where the following results
have been obtained from four years.
attention to the material welfare Of
the workers:
The amount Of business made was
doubled, wages increased so per cent,
by cutting out contingent help" the
number Of employees was reduced 20
per cent, the absences on account Of
sickness were reduced one-third. To
the firm this meant that 400 employees
did 80 per cent more work in one year
than was accomplished by 522 employ
ees in a similar period four years pre-
vious. - To the workers it meant that
430 of them earned in twelve months
$4,000 more than 622 did during a
previous twelve months.

chusetts Institute of Technology made
study of the amount of Illness pre-
vail1ng among the female operators in
the telephone central at Cambridge,
Mass, before and after the installation
of system of artificial ventilation.
The figures obtained by him show that
during the two winters preceding the
change, when doors and windows had
to be kept closed, on the average about
one girl in twenty was absent daily
because of illness. During the CORE

Playing Wind Instruments Doesn't
Tend to Shorten Life. Il
Ailments OF the neart and lungs have
been frequently attributed by patholo-
gists and others to the blowing of
wind instruments. It has even been
asserted, without any definite founda.
ton in fact that the cornet, from
bone or oboe player is blowing his
lungs away" and will die before his
time.
DR.. Forcheimer In his "Prophylaxis
and Treatment of international Dis
cases. shows the fallacy Of this belief.
He states emphatically that lust as
many players OF stringed instruments
have emphysema as players Of wind
instruments" and after long expert.
ence of musicians he has come to the
conclusion that neither emphysema
nor its predispositon is result Of
their occupation"

on longevity of playing upon wind in

Every garbage can and swill barrel

department be adopted.
The can or barrel is fitted with a

enter. At the top Of the cover Is an

most Of the flies entering the can In
