Succeeds Chum as Editor of Harvard
Law Review.

Cambridge, Mass, May 4.-Robert
A1phonso Taft, son of the president
has been elected president and editor
in chief of the Harvard Law Review
of 1928. He succeeds his chum,
Charles Evans Hughes, jr., son of JUS
tice Hughes.
Robert, who is in his second year
in the Harvard law school, recently
took out registration papers, adopting
Cambridge as his home city, in order
to cast vote for his father at the
primary election. During his first year
Taft was the honor man of his class.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Judge Gordon Finley of Dodge City
writes to correct the article reprinted
from the Syracuse Republican to the
effect that he is for President Taft for
denomination. The judge states plain
ly that he is for Roosevelt and calls
attention to the fact that in the recent
presidential campaign in Ford coun-
ty he worked for the colonel and
helped elect Roosevelt delegates from
his precinct. The judge wants his po-
sition made clear, so that he will not
get votes under false pretenses. Judge
Finley is a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for congress from the
Seventh district.
L. H. Westerman, member of the
legislature last session from Ellsworth
county, has announced for lieutenant
governor on a progressive platform.
Every one of the sixteen planks of his
platform is progressive plank. The
Ellsworth papers and people are en-
thusiastic in their support of the can
didacy of their representative.
H. w. Grass of Lacrosse has an
nounced as candidate for state
treasurer. Grass ran for the nominal
ton two years ago and was defeated.
He talked about entering the race this
year and then gave it up. He has
apparently changed his mind again.
He is banker from Rush county

There is no movement to place can
didates in the field to oppose the re-
nomination of the judges of the SUI
preme court on the Roosevelt-Taft
issue.

tor speed laws has been adopted by
Judge Collins of the Indianapolis po-

HIS UNKNOWN GOOD POINTS
Widow Found II Hard to Reconcile
EuIogy With Her knowledge Of
Dead Husband.

An old Irishman who had made a
good deal Of money, but who wasn't
very particular about his habits or
conduct. lived in Chicago. His GUS
tom was to go downtown about once
a month on spree. and then come
back home and beat up his family and
break the furniture. His aged wife,
who had stood him for many years.
was blind.
Finally he died, and his children
gave him a fine funeral. They had
plenty of money now that the old
man was dead, and so they spread
themselves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved in woe. She cried and
cried all through the services. paying
scant heed to what was going on UNI
til the eulogy was pronounced She
listened. The priest referred to the
dead man in glowing terms. After
about ten minutes of this the aged
widow nudged her son and whispered:

EsesII.u. Bunch Of Feeder steers.

Choice beef can be produced with
less high-priced feed. and at lower
cost, than 1t is produced by most feed
ers, thinks p N Flint, assistant pro-
fessor Of animal husbandry at the
Kansas Agricultural college Pro-
fessor Flint believes In a less expen-
sive method of fattening. in which
grass is the principal diet.
The common feeding practice of
many of the farmers of the corn belt
is an expensive process The cattle
are fed during the winter months.
Sheds have to be provided for shelter.
The cost Of hauling and feeding the
roughage for, the cattle when in dry
lot is not small item. Bad weather
is another Objectionable feature-more
feed is required by a steer to make
the same gain.
The feeding practice for more profit
is this: Common feeders-Cattle In
thin flesh-may be bought at a low
price. Get steers two or three years
old. Feed them plenty of roughage to
keep them in good condition until they
are turned out on grass. A few hours
day on pasture is long enough at
first, until their systems get accus-
toned to the change. Feed the steers

THE SAFE LAXATIVE

sistent constipation. due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digestiug even

of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating. headache and feeling Of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec

tonic, like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.

pounds of corn. Begin with a light
ration and work up gradually to the
maximum. They should be ready to
market the latter part OF July.
Prime corn-fed cattle are scarce
during the summer. as most of the
feeders In the lots are finished and
shipped out before this time. The
packers must have cattle with some
finish. and they pay good price to
get them. Coming on the market at
this time. the steers fed on grass will
bring almost as good a price as stock
fed full grain ration IN a dry lot.
The success of this plan of feeding
is due to the low price at which the
cattle can be bought and the thin con-
dition of the animals coming in the
common class OF feeders. Making eco
nomical gains is not a breed but a
type Characteristic. Often the best
and poorest gains made are by indi-
yiduals of the same breed.
Less labor is required with summer
feeding. The cattle gather their
roughage. and the manure produced
by them is distributed, and evenly. In
winter. dry-lot-feeding steers are fed
ration of IS to % pounds Of grain
and 6 to pounds of hay apiece. when
on full feed.

Medicine.

A young lady living in a small city
had impaired her health by too con-
fining work in city Office, says
Christian Herald. Her physician or
dered her to a sanitarium for rest and
upbuilding, and when she returned to
work he instructed her to eat four
fresh-laid eggs daily; two eggs for
breakfast, and the others raw, in milk.
Finding it difficult to obtain depend
ably fresh eggs, she persuaded her
mother to permit her having a small
flock in the home yard. A portable
house was purchased and fifteen pull
let's installed IN It. A small brother
was paid 10 cents a week to feed and
care for the flock. two bags Of ready
mixed food were bought, and the re-
suit OF the venture was not only all
the eggs the young lady needed and a
supply for the family, but there was a
surplus which found ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing 20
cents dozen above the market price.
