REGARDS MYSTICISM
OF THE EAST, AS BAD
To the Editor Of THE TINES;


May I have space in your peoples
column to call attention to a lecture
given by a member OF the Theosophical
Society on the mysticism OF the East? ?"
And l desire to OFFER a just protest
against such teachings, as ! know two
students in this city. one a former lee
turer of 1t who is now suffering from
acute insanity. 1t is very regrettable
that such methods of Instructions, in
this enlightened age should be given.
Truly, false prophets are gone out IN
the world. | consider the Mysticism
OF the East" rot The word of God
the Bible), will bring us the truth, that
makes free, and gives us the imparta-
ton of a new nature. All the teach
ings of the New Testament are the
manifestation Of our Lord Jesus Christ,
as the way, the truth-"the life" Christ
said: Come unto me-" He did not say
try, the Yogls. Teaching mysticism is the
counterfeit work of the devil, with the
most disastrous results, and those who
study it, utterly perish. FACTS.

THE ARBITRATION TREATIES.

The arbitration treaties with Britain and France
were ill-advised, unfortunate and calculated danger
ousy to hamper this nation in protecting itself
against undesirable immigration, in guaranteeing the
Panama canals neutrality, and in enforcing the Mon
roe doctrine.
They represented rather clumsy effort to induce
the Senate to abdicate its part in the reaty-making
business, so that the Executive might become the
entire machinery.
They were put forward appeal to the wholly
fine and laudabe sentiment that favors peace; but in
fact they would have promoted dissenson and added
to the difficulty of securing peaceful adjustment of
international complications.
The Senate'S amendments have torn these dema-
gogic and il-assorted pacts to tatters, saved the
Senates right of participation in international rela-
tons, and rebuked another effort at assumption of
more authority in the Executive.
This affair recalls the incident of the railroad bill
of 1910. That measure prepared by the Ad-
mnstration and sent to Congress with directions that
the President expected it passed without change.
Under careful examination it was found to be a
betrayal of all the effective legislation accomplished
down to that time thoroughly vicious measure, of
startlngly reactionary quality and purpose.
ProgresSives in the Senate, headed by Cummins,
took hold of the bill and completely revolutionized
it, When it emerged, it was progress, not retro
erosion; construction not destruction; progress
i've, not Taft achievement.
And ever since it has been claimed by the Admin
stration the greatest constructive accomplishment
of President Taft! Every effort has been made to
secure credit for it.
Benedict Arnold might as fairly be credited with
the achievement of American independence.
Now shall see the same tactics applied to the
treaties They will be heralded noble accom-.
plishment of the Administration in the cause OF
world peace; and if there are yet gudgeons to be
fooled by that sort of thing, they will believe it.

the things which are on hand.

METHODS OF MAKING STRAW
SHEDs.-Ordinarily, straw sheds for
hogs are made by setting heavy center
posts-one or more-8 to 10 feet high.
If more than one a ridge pole is put
on top. Poles are then fastened at
the top and radicated in every direc-
ton. Enough are put on to hold the
straw. just because the ground is
frozen is no reason why this can't still
be done. These upright posts are set in
center, rafter poles are fastened at
the top and a heavy brace fastened
at the bottom end of rafter. In this
way a frame resting upon the ground
is constructed. Poles are added and
the entire framework covered with
straw. Hauling straw to cover such
a shed is a much harder job than run
ming the straw on with a blower, yet
that is penalty for not planning ones
work.
WOVEN WIRE USED, Many straw
sheds are made by setting two rows
of posts around what is 10 be the wall
of the shed. Woven wire is then
stretched around between the two

and one-half to three feet space is
usually allowed for the straw. There
are various types of roof which may
be put on such a shed.

Straw Sheds For Shelter.

Providing good but cheap shelter
for hogs In the Northwest, where
frosty weather is experienced at
times, is q problem. Hog lei the
country over are pretty we'll agreed
that the large hog house is very ex-
pensive, and In most cases unneces-
sary, exceptions being found in the
case Of pure bred breeders or the pro-
ducers Of early or winter pigs. There
may be more reason for such houses
Ia the northwest, but returns do not
seem to justify their presence on most
farms. Figures show that oom per
SOW costs from IS to 40 dollars In such
buildings rs opposed to Is to 20 dol
lars when the same protecti ion is pro-
vided with IN individual house. OF
course the actual cost per year per
SOW would have to be a~scertained
from the construction cost. plus the
depreciation, insurance and repair
charges.
STRAW UTILIzED-In the fields Of
the vast Northwest where the hog
population Is annually increasing,
there are tons and Ions Of straw.
which may well be used In construct
ing sheds for hogs. There is scarcely
any sort Of hog house construction
that can heat these sheds In cold
winter, for they do protect from the
cold and yet they do not get damp.

Snake Venom For Epilepsy.

Down in the Texas Panhandle, five
years ago.. a man was bitten by a rat
tlesnake. The man was an epileptic.
He recovered from the poison Of the
Snake-bite. Two years passed and
during all that time there was no re-
%currence OF the epilepsy. Before the
chance meeting with crotalus horridus
on the Texas prairie he suffered from
epileptic spasms every " or three
days, writes A. st. Geo. Joyce In
Technical World Magazine for jan
uary. The strange coincidence be-
tween the bite Of the r~attlesnake and
the cure OF the epilepsy was brought
to the attention OF a Texas physician,
who made a statement of the case,
which finally reached the attention Of
DR.. Thomas j. Mays and DR.. Ralph
II. Spangler of Philadelphia. DR..
ISpangler, chief of the Medical Clinic
of the Methodist Episcopal Hospital
of Philadelphia, had been experiment.
ing with rattlesnake venom in the
treatment of other diseases.
DR.. Spangler had several cases of
epilepsy under his care and, with the
Texas instance in mind, he deter
mined to try the effects Of hypoder-
mic injections of a solution of the
dried venom OF the rattlesnake. The
reaction varied with each individual,
but In each case there was the char
acteristic swelling, discoloration Of
the arm-where the venom was in
jected-and more or less severe pain.
BY the third or fourth day the symp-
toms disappeared and at the end of a
week a second injection was made, at
some distance from the first. Grad
ually, al with repeated treatments
the local symptoms became less mark
ed, the strength of the dose was in
creased.
The effect on the epilepsy was mar
ked. Almost from the start the num-
Der of attacks decreased. The treat
ment continued and at the end Of a
year all Of, the patients we're apparent
" cured or, at. the worst. greatly
benefited. DR.. Spangler has so far
treated ITO patients and has administ-
cred about 1000 Injections Of the
Institutions for the I admins
Of the venom treatment',

and Philadelphia.
