A Philadelphia dispatch to the New

rian minister residing at Atco, near
Camden, n. j., who has been bed-rid.
den for many months suffering from
tumor and has become so weak that
death may come at any moment, has
given a remarkable interview.
Our laws are wrong" she said
eve have too many of them. We
pile them up like the children of IS
rael did, and then we have to have
them interpreted to us. There is one
law of the New Testament that
should be the basis of all our code:
DO to others as you would be done
by
81 am sure if this were carried out
I would not be here suffering now.
Nobody could want the thing to hap
pen to them that has happened to
me. l am sure I would love to live
if l could get through. But I can't;
I can only stay and stay and stay.
Wouldn't it be much better if I could
Just go to sleep? Wouldn't it be kind
and merciful if the law would let the
doctor put me to sleep?
Science knows way out of our
troubles; it is kind. 1t has the key
to the land of everlasting sleep. But
the law won't let it use it. Every
doctor will tell you that people i'm

doctor will tell you of patients whom
he would like to help out of their
misery-whom he knows cannot live
except for a short or perhaps for
long time in agony.

we faith enough in the hereafter and
in the goodness of God to drop our
old superstitions and to be scientifi-
cally kind?"
Mrs. Squier applied to the Cooper
hospital in Camden imploring the
surgeons to operate on her, but fear
ing she would die under the opera
ton they declined.
Last week Mrs. Squier appealed to
the chief surgeon of a Philadelphia
hospital praying that he take the one
chance and operate, but as yet has
not received an answer.

One of the Most Important Industries
Carried ON i'm the Suburbs of Par
is Is Growing Them.

One of the most important indus
tries carried on in the suburbs OF
Paris is that of mushroom CROWNS.
TO one who has never investigated
this industry the methods in vogue
are of special interest. In the Vari-
Gus districts surrounding the French
capital there are numerous old quar-
ries and in these subterranean cav
ems mushrooms are planted and
grown to maturity; Scattered all
around one may see quadrangular
wooden towers, which are the shafts
used for ventilation of the quarries.
Some of these were the source of the
stone and plaster used by medieval
builders in erecting great public edi-
fees in Paris.
In general they consist of a laby-
rinth of low and narrow chambers. In
them are found conditions of temper
allure and humidity favorable to the
culture of the mushroom. Provision
for cultivation is essential and wells
are dug for supplying the large
amount of water necessary in this
form of farming. Another indispen-
sable thing is horse manure, prefer
ence being given to the kind which
is the product of highly heterogeneous
food. Before the manure is taken
/ underground it is submitted to the
action of the air for three weeks
and is turned over from time to time
to retard the process of fermenta-
ton. After lowering the prepared
manure into the galleries workmen
| arrange it in rounded beds which
are carefully aligned along the sides
of the galleries. In these beds the
mushroom spores are terminated
There are $50 mushroom "installa-
tions" in the vicinity of Paris and
1000 workmen are employed.
The value of the product, which is
much sought by the gourmets of Par
! is, is about $3,000,000 annually

WHO ARE SURE OF
PLACES IN THE CABINET

Champ Clark, when he met Gov
ernor Wilson at Trenton by invita-
ton, renewed his protests against
Bryan as a member of the cabinet.
1t is known that Wilson wants the
Nebraskan as one of his advisers ami
that he has seriously considered him
as the head of the department of
state.
Clark, heading the other wing of
democracy, is strong in his determi-
nation to oppose Bryan on account
of the differences at Baltimore, and
before leaving the capitol last night
he made it plain that if Mr.. Wilson
rendered the place to Bryan it would
mean a lasting break between the
speaker and the next president.
Underwood Is Content.
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama will go to Trenton in the next
few days to talk over cabinet APP
pointments with Wilson. The Ala
bama man could no doubt have the
secretaryship of the treasury if he
wanted it, but Mr.. Underwood as the
leader of the majority party in the
house occupies a much bigger place
than any cabinet job.
His power in his present position,
in view of the tariff legislation on
the democratic calendar, makes him
the center of the coming fight in
congress. Mr. Underwood knows
that, and he says frankly he has no
ambition to join Mr.. Wilson's politi-
cal family.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia will
also meet Wilson in a few days. He
is another Southerner who has been
prominently mentioned. The senator
has told friends, however, that he
much prefers to remain in the SEN
ate.

KEEPS HER PETS EMBALMED
DiamOnd-Decked Cat RepOses in a
FIoWer-Bedecked CasIxet
Awaiting Burial.

Following the failure of Mrs. Cath
crime Carter, wealthy widow, to OBJ
tain the burial of her pet cat, Tiger,
in the Pleasantville cemetery, at At
lantic City, n. j., the remains of the
feline are lying in state at the Hotel
Iroquois pending the completion of
further arrangements for funeral.
Undertaken Joseph Champion en-
balmed Tiger and, in addition to a
profusion of floral tributes on the
costly casket, the animal wears in
death a diamond-studded collar and
other articles of jewelry lavished up
on it in life by it's doting mistress.
Considerable notoriety attached to
Tiger a year ago, when the manage
ment of several of the beach front
hotels 'efused to receive the feline as
a guest. Despite the fact that Tiger
had a broken back and was blind he
stood high in the affections of his
and during the illness which
resulted in his death was attended
by the best physician that could be
procured.

BEEF GROWING ADVANTAGE IN
GEORGIA..

Husbandry.
Question-Can cattle be grown LOT
beef in Georgia as cheaply as in the
West?
The West can furnish grain cheap
er. but Georgia can produce more Sill
age to the acre, get longer grazing
and more and better food from Ber-
muda grass than is obtained from
western grasses. The demonstrated
possibilities of corn-growing in Geor-
gia show that even the West should
have nothing over it in that respect
Georgia can now grow beef cattle as
cheaply as the grain states, but with
it's full possibilities developed 1t
should have an advantage.
AS an indication of how values can
be increased in growing cattle for
beef. the State College of Agriculture
bought COWS in South Georgia at SIT
per head and sold calves from these
COWS at the average age of 20 months
on the Athens market for $4499 each.

NEW YORK.-A Chicago dispatch
to the World says the millionaire
settlement at Lake Geneva had not
recovered from the shock of the an
nouncement that Jack Johnson, ne
gro pugilist, had purchased home
in their midst for his white wife
when the news came that not only
Johnson but syndicate of negroes,
as the Lincoln Social and Athletic
Club, had purchased the Judson G..
Sherman home for club house.
1t is now said the option on the
Sherman homestead has been taken
by w. A. Anderson, a negro attorney
of Chicago, for himself "and nine
Others" The identity of the nine
others is not made public.
The Sherman homestead is one OF
the oldest places in the millionaire
settlement. The club could not have
chosen a more exclusive spot near
Chicago. The sale was made in spite
of an agreement among property
owners not to sell except to such per
sons as the majority of the owners
shall approve.
Attorney Charles French of Lake
Geneva said that as soon as JACK
Johnson arrived plans would be made
to GUST him. When it later became
known that not one negro but a clut
house full of them might be disport
ing themselves next summer in the
water of the lake next to the private

Johnson from taking possession o

cATARRH IN CHICKENS.

Husbandry.


Husbandry.
Question-How would you prevent
or cure cata~Th in chickens?
A chicken affected with a cold, or
catarrh, should receive immediate at
tention, f~s' while this disease in itself
Is not serious, it is liable to develop
into roup if neglected. Usually a
cold is caused by exposure during a
cold spell of weather, by draughts
of air over the birds while they are
on the roosts, by damp atmosphere
and wet weather, or by improper
housing conditions.
In many cases the bird will get
we'll without doctoring if the condi-
tons which caused the cold in the
first place are removed. A little red
pepper given in the mash often helps
them along. If the trouble is more
serious the nostrils, eyes and mouth
should be washed out with a per
cent. solution of Boracic acid. Or if
roup is suspected dip the head of the
fowl in a 1 per cent. solution of po-
tassium permanganate, holding it
there 20 or 80 seconds. Repeat this
treatment once or twice day until
fowl is cured. A little work when
the trouble is first noticed may pre-
vent lot OF work later when the dis
ease has a good start.

DON'T KISS OR CODDLE BABY
THE MOTHER OF FIRST ''EUGEN-

He Is Said to Be Twice as Well De-
Veloped as Other Children of
the Same Age.

the Same age.
BOSTON, MasS.-Mrs. George Her
rick, mother of New England's first
''eugenic'' baby, today gave her rules
for bringing up children. She says
that her aim is to help convince
even the poorest parents that chill
dren are not an expensive luxury to
be enjoyed by only the wealthy.
The baby, Geo. Whitfield Herrick,
is four months old. He is twice as
well, developed as other children of
his age and is regarded by the ply
sicians and eugenics experts as a
prodigy. Here are Mrs. Herrick's
rules:
Three essentials are fresh air, light
clothing and plenty of good nourish-
ment.
Society women should forego soci-
ety's obligations and nurse their own
children.
Every mother should nurse her
own child.
Kissing and fondling OF the baby
should not be permitted for one min
ute.
Don't toss baby up in the air like
bouncing ball.
One great secret of household econ
omy is making your own and your
children's clothing.
Race suicide is the greatest evil of
the day
The father contributes as much to
the health or ill-health of the child
as the mother.
Never use patent medicines to quiet
the baby.
The child loses or gains in will
power according to whether the faith
er drinks or not.
Don't coddle or bundle up the
baby.
Don't smother him in talcum pow
der or use hot baths or unsanitary
sponges.

HOUSEHOLD
Woman and Farm Life.

A number of CITY men say they
would straightway go to the country
but for the unwillingness of their
wives. One man writes that but for
this reason vast numbers of salaried
men would seek country life, says
Worlds Work. Does this argue a re-
prehensible bondage of women to
town life, it's convenience, it's COM
partnerships, it's diversions and frlvol-
tiles?
Not necessarily reprehensible. Farm
life in the past has been very burden
some to women. AS rule it is very
burdensome yet. It's loneliness and
its lack of conveniences and diver
sions and. in many communities, the
lack of first rate schools. have made
its hsrdships very real-so real that no
woman who has a comfortable town
home may be blamed for preferring
it to farm.
But may farm life now not be made
more attractive and comfortable and
than town life? The rich of course
can do what they will, even duplicate
their city establishments in the coun
try; and the really poor will have
much discomfort wherever they are.
a fairly well-to-do family fare worse
in the country than in the town?
Yes, as farm life has been; but not
as it may easily be made. And this
is the point-the possibility now of
bringing about this change. There
are country regions-perhaps not
many yet-where the schools are as
good as in the cities, where roads are
good enough to make ones neighbors
accessible, where telephones and
trolley lines prevent isolation and es-
pecially. where by gas engines or in
other ways, running water may be
put into residences. With these con-
veniences, no woman of reasonable
intellectual and social resources need
suffer by going from the town to the
country if she go to fairly prosper
GUS region. Most of the strong wom-
en- who reared most of the strong men
in our history were country women
who did not have these advantages
and conveniences. Running water. a
good road and good school, however
come as near as any other three
things to making the difference be-
tween civilization and the state of the
