Losing Colts.

The Stanford Journal says
much complaint is being heard
among the horse breeders of the
deaths of young colts this spring.
The loss is falling quite heavily
upon many of the farmers.
Some of the big horse breeders
have lost nearly all of their crop
of colts and everyone is worried.
The cause is thought to be the
poor quality of corn fed, though
some are inclined to attribute it
to other causes. There is much
doubt, however, as to just what
is causing the loss. E. P. and
J. H. Woods are said to have
lost nine colts and Jake Robinson
six. Clarence Tate suffered a
number of losses and others have
likewise been the victims. :.

that Mrs. Laura Norton Bonnie

AS health talks to women become

health lies deeper, and yet is just as

The most important thing that a
woman can do for herself, and about
which she is often most neglectful, is
TO watch the condition of her stomach
and bowels. The weary eyes. the bad
breath, the frequent headaches, the
pimples, the general air of lassitude is
nine times out of ten the result of con-
stipation or Indigestion, or both. Many
simple remedies can be obtained, but
the best in the estimation of most
women is DR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.

TYPHUs FEVER AND BODY LICE.

There has recently been a renewed in
terest in that old-fashiOned disease, ty-
phus fever. which had become so rare
and apparently was so thoroughly under
control as TO be quite negligible in this
country Il has been found that typhus
fever may be given to monkeys by the
bites Of body lice which have previously
bitten human patients suffering with the
disease or monkeys which have been in
fected with it In the laboratory. The
United States Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service declares that lit seems
likely that the body louise is probably the
usual distributing agent by which the
disease is carried from individual TO in
dividuaL Observation seems to show al
most beyond doubt that typhus fever 10
not spread by direct contact with the
patient suffering from the disease unless
the contact is of such a kind that the
exchange Of body lice become possible"
In the light of this modern demOnstTa-
ton some well-known traditions with re-
gard to the intense contagiousness OF
typhus gain additional interest. In olden
times typhus was called jail fever or
ship fever. evidently because of the op-
portunities for the spread Of the disease
afforded by the intimate living conditions
necessitated by the small crowded ships
and jails OF the old time. A numbers OF
stories are lolu OF JUDGES, lawyers, jury
men and spectators being stricken with
the disease within a day or two after
prisoners suffering from typhus were
brought into court. The Journal of the
American Medical Association says that
We can only conclude from our present
knowledge that in the crowded. stuffy
conditions OF the oId-time Court-rooms It
was not impossible that body or clothing
lice found opportunities to pass from
prisoners to more promising food ma

THE PEOPLES FORUM
Doctrine Of Bahaism.

To the Editor: In answer to the remarks
Of Rev. DIR. Easton, printed in yester-
days Herald, I wish to say that Bahais
do not care for doctrinaI controversies,
but for unity through love. The true
historic Jesus Christ laid the basis for
that union, but dogmaticians prefer con-
troversies. Bahais do not put any man
in the place of God. nor do they believe
in the dangerous orthodox trinity dogma.
To me the Lord Christ is the only media
tor between a macrocosmic God and a
world OF evolving and involving micro
cosmic children OF God: but all true
prophets Of whatever religion are in line
with Christ. To realize the oneness OF
God with Christ. and of Christ with
all prophets. and Of all children OF
God. whatever race or religion with
the Heavenly Father is the mission of
Bahaism. True Christians are true Ba-
hais, whether they call themselves Bahais
or not. Bahaism is not a new religion,
but It is true religion renewed 1t is
synthetic and syncretistic, as Christianity
will be whenever 1t Is at its highest
spiritual elimination. To every one who
gets in touch with this irresistible world
movement Of Bahaism the spirit OF the
Lord Christ becomes more powerful be-
cause Of the nonsectarian universally II
breathes. Christ said: He that Is not
against US is for US" To call upon
Christians to arraign themselves against
Bahaism means TO do so without the
authorization Of Christ, and in opposI-
ton to his principle OF unity through
love. To such disturbers of religious
progress Christ saysS He that is not
with Me is against Me" What the world
needs and Bahaism endeavors to aid in
Is getting away from superstition. fear
anthropomorphism, and ecclesiastical sys-
tem-building. and the acceptance Of the
Fatherhood Of God and the Brotherhood
OF Men. /. e. of all men. not only those
