apparently insurmountable obstacles
that he overcame makes one believe
that the age of miracles has not passed.
Mr.. Hough's description of the peo-
pie, their environment, the causes of
the fueds, their manner of living, the
cause of their ignorance, the founding
Of the college and its growth and the
influence it is welding makes a story
of great interest.
"Good Will to Woman" is story of
the New York State Reformatory for
Women at Bedford" DR.. Katharine
Bement Davis is the head of the insti
tuition and one of her associates has
described her as, "Radi.u m-that's
what she is" and this ftly describes
her II she is doing the work with which
she is credited by Miss Tarbell.
The first girl was sent to the insti-
tuition in 1901 and since then thous-
ands have been received.
The girls range in age from twenty
to thirty and have been convicted of
some offense in the criminal courts of
New York City.
Bedford is without cells, fences or
guards, still it has only lost four girls
in ten years
All of the work about the iDstitu-
tion both indoors and out is done by
the girls, Every effort is made to give
them healthy body and a pure mind (;
30 teach them how to do useful work
and the benefit of right living. No
matter how low they may have fallen
they are treated with respect and
kindness, an effort made to show them
that they are worth while.
Ofcourse many of the cases are hope
less, many being feeble minded and
some morally degenerate. But the
statistics showing the number of girls
who have gone forth from the institu.
tion who are still living useful, moral
lives is remarkable.
An effort is made to impress every
girl who goes to Bedford with the be-
lief that Bedford is not punishment,
1t is chance"
tits impossible here to give anything
but a vague idea Of the great work
that is being accomplished as it is de.
scribed in each of these able articles.
Each tells astory of real life and should
be read by every person who is inter
ested in the redemption of the unfor-
unate and the fallen.

Doing Ones Best.

How few of us really do our best and
still we complain because things are
not as we would have them. Nearly
always if we would do our best, we
could realize our desires.
Instead of putting fourth our best
efforts, we are given to self pity; to
thinking that we are unfortunate !;
that things break badly for us. The
trouble Is that we are not willing to
work that some present worldly pleas
ure counts more to us than ultimate
success that we are dreamers not do
ers; that we give away to our tempta-
tions and our passions.
The man who secures the things
that are worth while does so by con-
tinued effort, by not becoming down
cast and discouraged by misfortunes
and defeats.
We must realize that the good things
of life are not handed to us, that they
are only secured by doing our best.
Lubbock spoke great truth when he
said,
"If we do our best for a day, the
next morning we shall rise to a higher
life; while If we give way to our pas
sion and temptations, we take with
equal certainty step downward to-
ward a lower nature.

Two Notable Articles.

In this months American Magazine
are two unusually interesting and
readable articles, ''Burns of the Noun
tains" by Emerson Hough and "Good
VIII to Woman" by Ida M. Tarbell.
While they deal with two types of
people as different as two types could
possibly be, still they have this in
common that they deal with the lift
ing OF people from bondage, in one
instance of ignorance, in the other of
vice.
1t has never been our privilege to
read more remarkable article than
Burns of the Mountains "
1t is story of the fund districts of
the mountains of Kentucky and West
Virginia. Burns himself was mixed
up in one of the fueds and was left for
dead after one of their fights. In some
way Burns was convinced that it was
knowledge which gives one power over
his fellow men.
He went to college at Dennison Col
lege, Granville, Ohio, and although
without means managed to maintain
himself there for seven months.
He then returned to the, mountain
counties of Kentucky and for several
years taught school in different ones
usually without money and without
price,"
In 1899 Burns decided to found a
college and of the men who signed the
application for charter all were fued-
lists and half of them had to make their
mark and when they came to the
meeting called by Burns they came
armed.
1t was at this meeting that Oneida
College, Clay county. Kentucky. was
founded. 1t was founded without
money, but its founder had hope, faith
and an inspiration and the story of the

SALT IN THE POULTRY FOOD
No Living Thing Can Get Along En-
tireiy Without II and Chickens
Should Have Food Sailed.

Many people labor under the i'm
preston that no salt should ever be
put into poultry food. simply because
highly sailed food. such as salt fish
or picked meat. has sometimes killed
chickens. As a matter OF fact. no liv-
ing thing can get along entirely with.
out salt in some form. Chickens can
always get salt in summer by eating
grass. which absorbs certain
amount from the soil But In winter
Il is different. During cold weather
all prepared chicken food. such az
mashes and boiled vegetables. should
be sailed IN about the same proper
iion as for human food II this Ia
done, the poultry will be healthier
