During the past two or three
years Japan has sent some of it's
expert stock growers to Amreica
20 learn how to raise sheep and it
is understood that sheep raising
will be extensively engaged in
over there.
No use to try to raise sheep on
wet or Doggy land. High rolling
ground that is not valuable for
agriculture can be made to pay
handsomely by putting sheep on
it.
There are thousands Of acres Of
rough land in the west that are
lying idle. but might be turned
into a yearly profit if sheep were
raised on it.
Many farmers say they do not
raise sheep because they are more
subject to disease than other ami
mails. Not so. More sheep die
from damp, filthy quarters, ex-
posure to rain and snow and from
being kept on low lands than
from disease.

NEW MACHINE TO SAVE
SUFF0CATED MINERS
tRy Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Thousands
OF lives will be saved in the future ia
the opinion of bureau of Mines Off
Gals, by means of an oxygen pumping
apparatus with which the bureaus
workers during the last year restored
to life more than 80 persons who had
ceased breathing. BY means of the
lung filling and emptying machine
used by the bureau, oxygen is forced
in, the poisonous gases drowned out
and normal breathing started. The
machine acts automatically, any effort
on the part of the individual hinder
ing rather than helping il.
In drowning cases, gas poisoning
and electrocution accidents there will
be many revivals it is believed by the
prompt use of the oxygen device. Hun
dreds of inquiries have reached the
bureau of mines from hospitals, physi-
clans and municipal authorities asking
about the value of the machine An
official of the bureau today said that
in his opinion the time is near when
every police patrol will be equipped
with one of the machines.

beauty of the world as 1t looked in Its pure

EFFICIENT STOVE SCREEN.

EFFICIENT STOVE SCREEN.
So many little children who
are just toddling about get
burned by falling against the
heating stove. that every stove
where there are children about
should have some sort or a
screen made about it. For sew
eral years We used one made or
common 2s-inch field fence,
made OF No. IL wire.
Simply cut enough OF the
wire to reach around the stove
with about six inches of space
between the screen and the
stove.
Make a base OF 2x4 lumber,
as the wire alone is not heavy
enough to stay in place. 1t
should not be nailed to the
floor, but so it can be raised UP
for sweeping, etc.
If a heavy zinc board is used
under the stove the screen can
be made to just mt on the outsi1
of it and thus be more firmly
hxed in place.

I had three Of the best doctors in

when a lady friend of mine told me to

If 1t had not been for Cardui, believe

From the way the country is now
flooded with these waves of oblivion,
am inclined to think that our Christian
workers are aiding the laws in better
protecting the girls who can not under
stand our language. When L was in
Japan, saw the picture of one girl who
was sold for five thousand dollars, and
boatloads were said to be gathered from
the poor classes.
This is not a pleasant subject, and ]
would that 1 might let it pass. But if
Chat last year saved even one girl, let
me have your prayers that some who
are now considering some dangerous
and reckless plan may first put it before
some one who can Investigate thorough

ounce of prevention" is worth many
pounds Of cure in this case. Who can
change the bruised lily or put the colors
again on the butterhy's wing? We can
bind up the wounds and set them out
of harms way if we find them in time,
but alas! too many of them die unwept,
unhonored and unsung!
Unwept? Nay, mothers tears,
prayers and letters may have been on
the altar; but of what avail? The white
slave may never have heard of them.
Faithfully yours,
