At the National Conservation Con

a telling speech on the theme, Human
Life as an Asset" In the course OF
his address he placed modern c~iviliza.

degeneracy.
Our birth-rate is steadily declining,
and at the same time the span of life
is steadily shortening.
Twenty-seven per cent of our annua
deaths are of babies under age 5; 200,
600 of them die from %preventable dis
ease; about l50, 900 of these are under
one year of age.
To offset this waste of life large fam
lilies are demanded. Would it be well
to stop this needless destruction of in
fants before asking for an increase in
the supply?
Of the 20, 600, 900 school children in
this country, not less than rs per cent
need attention for physical defects that
are %prejudicial to health.
Insanity and idiocy are increasing.
Diseases of vice, the most ~insidious
enemy of this and future generations.
are spreading rapidly, according to
medical men. So far we have lacked
the moral courage to openly fight this
scourge.
The alcohol and drug habits are con-
stantly adding new victims to the de-
generate list and to the death roll.
Suicides are increasing and now reach
the enormous total OF about Is, 900 an
nually.
Lynchings and burnings- at-the-stake
continue, and are common only to our
country.
Attempts upon human life by individ-
uals and mobs under trifing provoca-
ton, or hone at all, are obviously in
creasing.
Over 5000 murders are committed
every year, and it is estimated that but
an average of 116 murderers are exc
cuted for these crimes.
We have the appalling estimated hon.
icide record of over 100 per million pop

Great Britain and 10 in Italy.
In the United States the death rate
above age 40 has increased steadily for
years. about q per cent since 1880,
while it has remained virtually station

ALL STOMACH MISERY ENDS.
No Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or
Dyspepsia Five Minutes Later.

The question as to how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from IN
digestion. Dyspepsia out-of-order stom
ach Is merely a matter of how soon
you begin taking some Diapepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in digest
i've power. why not help the stomach
to do its work, not with drastic drugs,
but a enforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take a little Diapepsfn occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like a lump Of lead in the
stomach no heartburn. Sour risings,
Gas on Stomach or Belching of undf-
gested food, Headaches, Dizziness or
Sick Stomach. and besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour, out
of-order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved five minutes after
taking a little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a 30
cent case of Pape's Dfapepsin now, and
you will always go to the table with
A hearty appetite, and what you eat

TO DESTROY INJURIOUS LICE
Ten Drops Of PennyroysI Added to
Tablespoonful of Olive oil viii
Prove Effective.

Grease is recommended for lice, but
chicks abhor it, and it should not be
used unless 1t is absolutely necessary.
Never use coal oil on young chicks,
for it is irritating and likely to scald
the flesh.
If the large lice are found on the
chicks, sweet oil will answer the pur-
pose just as well, and the chicks will
not mind it as much. Ten drops Of
pennyroyal may be added to large
tablespoonful of olive oil. With the
finger rub one or two drops we'll I'M
der the wings and down the head
and neck of the chicks. The small
lice may be got rid of easily, but the
large gray ones stick very close and
are hard to get off.
The large lice will kill the young
chicks, and the owner never knows
what the trouble is. They are hard 20
discern. and will suck blood from
the little fellows until their vitality
is exhausted, when they die. Watch
the young chickens very closely. and
do not allow them to be pestered
with the large lice, nor the small
ones, either, for they also will do a
great deal of harm in many ways.

That you should never use soda for

PlCKLING TIME.

Every frugal housekeeper likes to
have her shelves well stocked with
good things for the winter. Today
one may buy such good canned goods
that much of the work has been given
up: but we all have few time-hon-
ored and handed-down recipes which
we prepare each year. The following
are a few which are old and reliable:
To Can Green Corn Without Cook.
Ing.-Take nine cups of corn cut from
the cob have the corn Just picked,
one cup of sugar, half a cup of salt
and a cup of cold water; mix all to-
gether and place in sterilized cans,
sealed tight. Freshen when using.
Beet Relsh.-A quart OF boiled
beets chopped, two cups OF sugar, la
blespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of
white pepper, half teaspoon of red.
pepper and a cup of grated horserad-
ish; mix all together and add enough
vinegar to make it moist Can cold.
Canned Red Peppers.-These deli.
cious little appetizers which cost too
much in the winter to have often, may
be canned successfully at home, First,
raise your own sweet peppers, and
when ready to can, wash and cut in
strips with the scissors, cover with
boiling water and let stand five min
utes; drain and plunge into ice wa,
ter to cover, in which there is a large
piece of ice. Again drain and pack
into pint jars. To one quart of vine
gar add two cups of sugar Boil to-
gether fifteen minutes and pour over
the peppers until overflowing seal
and store in a cold place.
Ripe Tomato Pickle.-Mix the fol
lowing ingredients in stone jar:

RAISING BELGIAN
HARES PROFITABLE.
Care I'm Selection of Stock Ia First
Important Consideration
tn Starting I'm the
Business.

The so-called Belgian hare is a
domesticated form of the wild rabbit
of Europe, being bred with reference
TO its value as food animal, and its
flesh is now general considered bet
ter for food than that of the ordinary
hutch rabbit.
Rabbits may be propagated without
costly investment in land and build
ings, and possess the further advan-
tage that they contribute another ami
NAL TO the farm stock that may be
killed and prepared for the table at
short notice. As a rule, the same
treatment applies to all forms of rab-
bits, except the lopeared variety,
which require heated quarters in win
ter.
Care in the selection of stock is tho
first important consideration upon
entering upon the raising of rabbits,
and for the rest OF the enterprise only
observation and judgment are essen
tial.
While not affording large profits.
the raising of rabbits in small way
may be made interesting and fairly
remunerative, as well as afrording an
agreeable change In the family diet
where ordinary meats are high priced
or difficult to obtain.
