LONGEVITY.

Every man should live to be 90 years
old.
DR.. Wiley say so, and he never lies.
Ninety millions of citizens in the
United States have given him a GER
tificate of good character, SO he must
be credited.
BY preventing the high rate of NOR
tally among infants less than one
year of age-Dr. Wiley says the aver
g expectancy of life should be raised
from SS years to SO years.
Then the strictest sort of personal
hygiene and care should add forty
years to the life OF the average man.
Most diseases are now a~yoidable,
and in the near future DR.. Wiley
thinks all Of them will be. Even can
Ger will yield to medical science, in his
opinion.
Infant mortality he regards as absos
lutely preventable. 1t come almost
without exception from some form of
malnutrition when the child is depriv-
ed of natural food. Physicians are de-
voting much time to the study OF in
FAINT feeding. Mothers are showing an
interest in the subject-which insures
that the terrible death rate among
babies will cease.

Any one who knows Mr.. B. f. Sugg,
of Tyner, N. c., viii tell you that he
speaks nothing but the truth.
Mr.. Sugg has suffered greatly from
sleeplessness and in a recent letter
says: For ten years I have suffered
greatly from a ervous ailment which
caused me TO lose at least three
hours of needed sleep every night.
Il tried everything I could find to
get relief, and finally n bottle Of
Vinol gave me more relief than all
other remedies. / am grateful to
Vinol for my present good health
Many persons who are in a nerv-
Gus, rundown condition get so they
cannot sleep, and this Is almost GER
tain to wreck their health unless the
right steps are taken.
Our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy without oil, Vinol, builds ur
the body and nourishes the nerves
with pure, rich blood. and makes il
possible to get natural, restful sleep
We guarantee that Vinol will do yor
good (money back If 1t faiIs), and II

you certainly should try Vinoi. Foui

sels-but a democratic house will
doubtless defeat this proposal.
The objections offered to free pas
sage of American vessels are these:
First, American shipping interests
should pay their part OF the expense OF
the construction N operation OF the
canal and, secondly, existing treaties
with nearly all of the foreign coun-
tries provide specifically against dis
elimination against the merchant
marine of each Of these nations.
The canal when completed will have
cost some $500, 900, 900. It's annual up
keep will cost nearly $780, coo, 600, it is
fgured-not taking into consideration
the expense of armament and of main
tanning a naval and military force.
The house committee sees no rea-
son why the merchant marine of
America should enjoy the benefits of
the canal without expense, and leave
49, PNSRiO Va III SOhttlAy W bGdE the
cost Of the project-unaided by the
interests which secure the greatest
benefit from it.
But il this were deemed advisable
and proper, it is pointed out that if
coastwise vessels were admitted
through the canal free, other nations
under existing treaties would be able
to claim similar exemption for their
ships-and thus prevent the collection
of any tolls from the great waterway.
So the house committee will stand
pat on the proposition that the COM
merce which viii be so greatly BEN
Gifted by the canal shall bear it's full
share or the expense or maintaining
and operating the canal and finally in
paying for it.
Such a view seems eminently sound.
It's fairness a not be impeached.

CROP ROTATION,

On the question of compulsory crop
rotation The st. Paul Dispatch recent
ly said editoriany:
Prof. Thomas Cooper, In an address
at the Grain Growers meeting in Far
go, called attention 10 the changed at
titude toward the exploitation Of the
country's natural resources for the
benefit of individuals. He explained
that the one-crop, big-scaIe farming
that has been practiced in the north
west is indefensible, except on the as
sumption that a man has a right to
deplete the soil fertility for his own
gain. We no longer consider a farmer
justified either from the social or
economic point of view in exploiting
our natural esources.
The professors point was advanced
in Ottawa almost at the am time he
was arguing it in Fargo. Or. j. w.
Robertson, chairman Of the committee
on lands, reported at a meeting of the
Dominion Conservation commission,
that the farmers in every province Of
Canada are eXhausting the soils fer
tility. He explained that "46 per cent

shown substantial decrease in produc-
ton. The doctor contended that sysp
tematic rotation of crops and instruc-
ton in scientific methods on the farms
are urgently needed.
The argument made by the other ex-
perts. one in this country and the 9th
er in Canada, suggests an interesting
possibility, If not probability. The
public is becoming quite ge~nerally
agreed that no one has a right to waste
the fertility of the soil; that the pro-
ductivity of the earth is the heritage
Of all the people and the resource on
which we depend for existence. The
experts have been unanimous in the
| opinion that crop rotation is the suresi
and best means Of preventing depletion
OF fertility; that there should be cror
rotation on all farms.
That being the case, how long is II
likely to be before we viii have croI
rotation enforced BY law? That may
seem irapranticab1e and even infringe.
ment Of personal rights, but Is IT either
If the interests Of society demand
that soil fertility be retained, ii Is un.
likely that it will be ~safeguarded bs
law, particularly when such actor
would rebound to the profit Of til,
landowner.

MONDAY. FEE. II, 1912.
LINcoLN's BIRTHDAY.

This is the anniversary Of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln-universally con-
eeded the greatest American. He was
born 1903 years ago. All over the Unit
cd States fitting tribute is being paid
today by pupils of the schools and to-
Aight many great gatherings will be
held at which the memory of the mar
Nred president will be honored.
Public and private business enter
prises in most places Of the United
States were generally suspended in
reverence of the occasion.
Lincoln's humble birth, the strug-
gles OF his youth for an education, his
strenuous fight for right and his final
elevation to the presidency-where his
real greatness was so abundantiy dem
onstrated-has made his life an inspi-
ration to all.
Today's services in his memory will
have a tendency to more firmly inn
press the events of Lincoln's life on
the youth Of the c~ountry--and give the
older public time for a more careful
consideration Of the truly great quail
tiles Of the emancipation.

CANAL TOLLS.

The government will have some
prstty problems on its hands when it
cones to decide the terms on which
the Panama canal will be operated.
The question Of greatest perplexity is
whether or not the canal shall be r 9
to American, or coasrwise, vessels.
At 1rst thought it perhaps will
seem reasonable that American ship
ping interests should enjoy an advan-
tage over their foreign competitors
snasnuch as the canal was built by
the government. But the house COM
nittee on commerce-to which is in
trusted the preparation of legislation
for the operation OF the canal-thinks
this IL not only unwise but practically
impossible.
The committee is opposed to the free
passage Of American ships and to any
discrimination against ships dying the
flags Of other countries. The admin
~istFation recently submitted a plan OF

WESTERN LABOR FIELD.

The unfortunate labor conditions in
the cities of the west are receiving a
great deal of attention. Representa-
ttees Of central labor organizations
are sending announcements to tn,
press Of the rest OF the country-re-
lating the exact conditions.
Most Of the larger western cities
have been overdone and the dull times
Of the past two years caused a reac-
ton. Little new public oil private
work was done and labor-both skilled
nj unskilled-could not find sumc-
lent employment.
In addition to this wild cat boomers
aud a few irresponsible real estate
dealers have published misleading ad-
vertisements in the eastern news
papers n magazines. These attract
ed thousands of people who went west
with little more than their railroad
fare.
These added to the already large list
of unemployed has made the situation
grave. Some of the cities appropriate
ed funds for public work at nominal
wages-merely to give the idle suf-
fcient employment to earn a living.
These who could not be cared for in
this way are supported by charity.
Representatives Of the Central La
Dor Council Of Portland are the latest
to issue a warning. Letters have been
addressed to the governors of many
states-also to the press Of the states
most likely to be affected by the mis-
leading advertisements OF the money
made agents.
The letters have the ring Of SINGER
fly and the facts stated are no doubt
correct. The present conditions in the
west are the result OF the dull period
of the past two years and of the
presidential excitement in this. The
country will develop all right in the
futnre-but at present is undoubtedly
so ~overdone that it is a mistake for
anyone without funds to seek employ
msnt there.
