The farmer and his family are as fully entitled to everything good as anyone and if he does not live up to his opportunities he can blame no one but himself. With rural mail delivery, the telephone and other convcniences totally un- known in the rural districts a few years ago, the farmer can be hap py and contented if he will. The farmers life is pleasant and indepen- dent and one of the healthiest pro- fessions in which man can engage.

It seems that sometime in the dim andmustypast we heard of similar enterprise atBatesyille that we were told would reach out and light up all the nearby towns.

A modest Kansas lawmaker has introduced a bill in the legislature to prohibit women appearing in public in short skirts. and provid- ing that all skirts must reach at least four inches below the patella. But the question arises, will a mere four inches of skirt be sufficient to hide the patella from the vulgar public gaze, especially if the wearer of the skirt happens to be a high-stepperl We are a little dubious, and If we were ln the Kansas legislature we would cer- tainly offer an amendment to make 1t five inches.

oLCOTT REDUCING THE GRAFT.

Secretary of State Ben Oco deserves commentator for
ducng the extravagant propensities of his Office.
He discharged number of merely political strikers for what
there was in it, and reduced salaries
He has practically abolished the Office of assistant secretary
of state, and is doing lot of that work himself.
He reasoned correctly if the office could for years without
the secretary when it had secretary it could without an
assistant.
One place the other useless and there no excuse
for office that had to be hand and perform its d
ties
He has reduced the payroll naddon by about hundred
dollars month"; because employees overpad for their work
The fact is people expect to get about two salaries for doing
work for the state and that is called politics,

near what the state e besides the honor of working

that the body IS made up of coils,
AID if these coils are in hea' tn the
body is in health. and the con-
verse is also true.
thot, as ! studied into what a
simple thing then the question of
health resolved itself; namely, the
the keeping of the cells in health.
The greatest cause OF sickness
is the poisoning of the cells by
the entrance of disease germs,
which are either microscopic
plants or animals. The plants
are called bactaria, the animal
germs protocol. The germs do
not themselves destroy the cells,
but they manufacture a poison
which we call toxin, that poi
sons and destroys the lite of the
cell.
These germs do not spring up
and grow in anything spontaneous
| ly but are offspring of the parent
germ. Their multiplication and
growth depends upon the favor,
ableness or unfavorableness of the
conditions in which the germ is
placed.
There are many hundreds Of
kinds of germs, but not many
cause desease. The outdoor
world is practically free from di'
sease germs except as the soil OF
water has been polluted by waste
from the bodies OF people which
contain the germs. Most disease
germs do not live long outside
the human body, and they exis'
mostly IN the bodies of the sick
in their houses, and in soil Of
water polluted by waste.
We therefore readily see that i
is of vital importance that care b'
taken in the distinction Of a!
articles used by the sick, OF thei
rooms, and of the wastes iron
their bodies. All wastes shoult

other clothing should be imme

Meat and Cancer.

In view # the fact that meat. and
especially fresh meat. is comparative
ly very cheap in Australia. and in con.
sequence its use probably very much
more general than in any other coun
try, 1t may be interesting on account
of meat being frequently associated
with cancer to note the incidence Of
this disease.
In 1908 the total number of deaths
reported in IT, Commonwealth was
46,426. OF this number 2.921. or 6.29
per cent. we're due to cancer. II the
