Are We in Danger of Famine :


At the recent meeting OF the Ma
tional Soil Fertility league II. II
Gross, the president, said;
Statistics show that agriculture
in the United States has been 50
neglected that within twenty years
we shall be forced to import our prin-
cipal food products from foreign
lands, We are facing an inevitable
famine unless the soil is greatly inn
proved
The process of taking without Civ
ing cannot be long continued. The
soil is not inexhaustible. We have
reached the time when our farming
methods must be ievolutionized II
we would escape disaster. The NOTE
of warning has been sounded often
enough, but it has not been needed
extensively enough. We must give
to the soil more than We take from
ii. We must leave it richer than VIZ
found it Crop rotation, fetriliz-
ing and scientific farming have be-
come absolute and immediate neces-.
stiles to the salvation not only of
the American farmer but of the
American nation.
The simple truth Is that our to-
tai population is increasing much
more rapidly than our agriculture
population. This means that the de-
nand for agricultural products is
growing faster than the supply. Ppt
this is not the worst Of it. Our
farms on the whole are decreasing IN
productiyeness. These facts are
enough to point the imminent dan
ger. Already we are at the turn 81
the tide when we must begin buy
ing our foodstuffs frcn abroad ToI
remedy these conditions it Is moi
enough to say, Back 10 the soil
We must also make our motto GIVE
back to the soil more than We taks
from it"

rurnentlne as an AntlseptIc.

One Of the most famous surgeons in
New York writes TO the World apro-
DOS of a discussion about the safety
of carbolic acid, bichloride Of mer-
curry and other violent poisons as an
tiseptics. that one of the best and GER
tainly the safest thing for the lay
man ito use on wounds Is turpentine.
He is DR.. Morris Stark, assistant at
tending surgeon at Bellevue hospital,
and lecturer on surgical dressing to
the training school of the French hos
pital. His words are as follows:
Ordinary turpentine. If rubbed into
a wound which has not bled properly.
provided the wound seems to have
gone through the skin, will not only
act as a most powerful germicide but
will start bleeding, most desirable
feature when a wound Is first re-
ceived, When free bleeding has be-
gun the turpentine should be washed
away with a little alcohol. This is an
absolutely safe procedure. The wound
is then dressed with any mild anti
septic, such as boric acid or ordinary
salt solution and kept moist with
these solutions"

MEMORY IN CHILDREN
ovER-cuLTivATIoN OF BRAIN A
SERIOUS MISTAKE.
Intellectual Development Largely a
Matter of Environmcnt-Preco-
cious Infart Rarely Makes
Good Early Promises.

Much to the easement of our social
amenities, the precocious child has
gone out OF fashion. No longer have
we to stifle yawns and to smile while
our fingers tingle from desire to
smack as a baby prodigy 8reeites
Shakespeare or gives tnlpronlptu
scale-practice On the piano.
In fact, the tendency is the other
way; we are on the ipswell of Rous'
seau movement and the dear babies
are being turned out to do gardening
and to cultivate powers of observa
ton apart from books and pen and
ink: the nursery has become a me-
nagerie and botanical museum. and
that her boy or girl of seven is ig-
norant of the alphabet is the latest
and proudest boast OF the loving
mother.
A change all to the good, surely. did
1t not seemingly take as much time,
trouble and teaching to keep up con-
dition of book ignorance as Of book
knowledge
What is considered brain develop
ment in a child Is nearly always a
matter of memory and adaptability,
just a parrot-like quality strongly de-
veloped The child just remembers
and initiates.
One has this shown very clearly in
the historical records of royalties.
Where the young prince or princess
has, through the pressure of state af-
fairs, been obliged to live surrounded
by diplomatists and ministers, the
child has picked up the jargon in the
most astonishing fashion.
Have we 1t not on record that when
Mary, Queen of Scots. as child of
eight years, met her mother at Rouen,
the little queens reply to the ma
ternal caresses was the inquiry:
What factions continued to exist in
the noble families of Scotland?' and
whether the English still harassed
her native country; whether worship
remained pure ara the prelates and
clergy did their duty?"
At eleven she quotes Plutarch and
at twelve she writes an essay on the
demeanor and duties Of princes,
couched in the language of an elderly
statesman. Yet. though a brilliant
woman who can say that Mary Stu
arts later life was remarkable In wis
dom and diplomacy? Her precocity
was just the repetition of the senti-
ments and expressions she heard
about her.
And might not one hazard the opin-
ion that the weighing of the memory
destroys other faculties and gives a
reason why the precocious child so
early becomes a distinct rocket--its
tight and flzzle and glare all ended be-
fore maturity is reached. Perhaps
It is this consciousness which makes
us all have feeling of pity for the
precocious child and ato rejoice so
heartily that Juvenile displays no
longer shadow our afternoons. In
some things at least we make for prog
ress--Exehange.

go sssa The Electoral College
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF "A Good Old Siwash."

The electoral college is one of our
| poorest institutions of learning. l.
has no curriculum, no professors,
no yell, and holds only one session
every four years Ii would take a
genius to learn anything in the cleo
toral college, but it is very popular
for all that, and thousands of men
would feel highly honored if they
had an electoral college education.
The electoral college has a trihe
over five hundred students, but they
couldn't score a touch down on a
well trained high school team. They
have no training and do not even
maintain a elee club, Tho college
never had even a set of colors ex,
eept in the campaign of 1896. when
it adopted gold, 1t is very old
school, having been organized in
1888 by the builders OF the constitu-
ton in an effort to remove the men
tai wear and tear of electing a presi-
dent from the common people The
trainers OF the constitution didn
have much faith in the taste of the
common people as far as presidents
went and thought they We're doing
i pretty fine thing in letting the
aeople elect the constables and leg
slators an opinion in which a
great many well groomed gentlemen
with automobiles still agree But
after the electoral college had come
within one vote OF electing Aaron
Burr president, the p. shivcred
lightly and took UP the electing job
themselves.
Since that time the life OF the
PRESIDENTIAL eleetor has been one Of
reat ease, His work is light and
equires no strain on the intellect.
