or ignorantly. The first step toward
safety lies in the banishment of all
bottles and packages of chemicals or
medicines the nature of which is un-
known. Never allow sample of pills
or tablets, as often distributed from
house to house or sent through the
mails, to fall into the hands of child
ren or other irresponsible persons.
1t is much better to destroy the pack
age at once than to risk perhaps fatal
results from ignorant use of the con-
tents. Keep chemicals entirely sepa-
rate from medicines or anything else
that is to be used internally. Have
everything, whether chemicals or
medicines, in strong containers that
are not readily upset or broken. a
box with pasteboard compartments
serves to keep bottles separate and
does away with the chances of upset
ting or breaking the bottles. Have
everything plainly labeled. All pois-
ons should be labeled without fail, in
large letters, with the word POISON
in several languages If necessary.
Labels and ink are cheaper than doc
tors and undertaker's bills. If la
bel is lost or illegible, and you are
not certain of the identity of the SUBJ
stance, throw it away or have it ex-
amined by some one else who may be
able to safely identify it. No SUBJ
stance should be allowed to remain in
the honse if it has not been brought
or sent to the home by some we'll
known responsible person. The
medicine and chemical closets should
be made to be locked, and should be
paced out of the reach of children.

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS.

TO keep cut flowers in good condi-
tion, they should be cnt early in the
morning, when they are still fresh and
brittle and the sun has not yet had
much effect on them. They should be
cut when only partly or just beginning
to open and put in fresh, cool water
and kept in cool dark room (cellar)
for about twentyfour to thirty-siX
hours before ussng them. This will
make them firm and add greatly to
their freshness and keeping qualities.
After taking the flowers to the living
room. the stem ends should be cut
back a little and the flowers placed in
a rather wide glass vase in fresh cold
water, which should be renewed daily
and kept in cool place. y little salt,
nitrate of soda (salpetre) or bicarbon-
ate of sodamay be added to the water,
which will also help to preserve the
flowers and brighten the colors.
Much also depends on kinds of flowers
and also on varieties. Some are very
good keepers carnations, chrysanthe-
NUNS, usters, orchids, etc.); others
last only very short time (roses,
violets, poppies).
On some varieties the plants with
woody stem (Chrysanthemums), it he
comes necessary to split or mash the
lower end of the stem to ALLOW the
flowers to take up more water to
make them keep well. Others, again,
may have to be singed or the stem
ends inserted an inch or two in boiling
water to seal them (Poinsettias, Eu-
phorbias, poppies). Often willing
flowers can be made to look fresh
again if the stems are cut back some
and then inserted in a vase with hot
water and put in u cool, dark place
for few hours. Roses should be cut
when the buds just begin to open.
Flowers of soft nature are usually
poor keepers and flowers of one kind
will keep better than a mixed bunch.

BRIskET DISEASE

For fifteen or twenty years, we at
the College have been getting reports
on a peculiar disease of cattle, which
the stock men. for want of better
name, have called "Brisket Disease'.
This name is given to the trouble
because of the fact that sometime be-
fore death the brisket swells enor-
mously. Owing to the generosity of
several stock men in Middle Park,
the Experiment Station has begun an
investigation of the malady, but as we
did not get it until rather late in the
spring we have been privileged to see
only two good typical cases. 1t seems
to be winter disease entirely so that
we do not expect to gain any more in
formation until next fall. However,
we have learned something of the
nature of the conditions and hope at
some future time to make full state
ment regarding it's cause and treat
ment.
1t seems to he disease of high
attitudes, having been reported to us
from both Middle and North Parks.
1t is rather chronic condition, run
ming on for several weeks or some
times months, but almost always ends
fatally. 1t usually begins with
diarrhoea but the appetite remains
good until the last. In those cases
VIC had the privilege of seeing, the
fever was not high. There is large
collection of dropsical fluid in both
the thOrax and the abdomen and this
of course is responsible for the swol-
len brisket. The liver, on post NOR
tenn is always found to be tough and
leathery, which the microscope shows
to be due to chronic Inflammation.

Wives Of Colorado Congressmen
Named Suffrage Delegates.

Wives of three of Colorado's dele
cation in congress will represent this
state in the national suffrage confer
ence to be held in Washington August
18th. Mrs. John Shafroth, Mrs. Ed
ward Il. Taylor and Mrs. Edward
Heating will be the delegates who will
tell the members of the conference of
the way suffrage has worked out in
this state.
Invitations were extended to Senator
Helen Ring Robinson, Mrs. Helen L.
Grenfell and Miss Gail Laughlin to be
present and make addresses before the
conventions, but all were unable on
account of lecture engagements at
other places.
On account of the numerous events
that will be taking place in Denver
during the time of the conference and
the unwillingness of many to leave
the city at that time, it was decided
that the Colorado women already in
Washington should represent the
state.
The three delegates ha re been urged
by Mrs. Harriet G. r. Wright, presi-
dent of the suffrage association in this
state, to make speeches before the
conference and convince the members
that woman suffrage has worked out
successfully in Colorado.
One of the most important matters
to come up before the conference, ac-
cording to Mrs. Harriet G. Wright,
president of the Colorado Suffrage as
sociation, is the proposition of a fed
eral law creating universal woman
suffrage. The advisability. and pos
sibility of occurring the passage of such
Il law will be impressed upon the
gathering of sutfragists and cam
paign will be erted to push it through.
1t is declared that the three Colorado
women will be among the most active
in this campaign.

PREVENTION VERSUS CURE

There is always a clamor for some
panacea for the relief of multitude
of ailments. 1t makes little difference
whether the patient is human or ami
NAL. Tell farmer how to improve
the condition of u sick animal and he
will be very grateful to you and re-
member you, but try to teach him how
to prevent sickness in u hundred head
of livestock and he will scotf at you
and promptly forget your instructions.
In human medicine the idea of max
ing every man his own physician has
long since been dropped, but since
veterinary knowledge and education
lags behind, there still exists u demand
for the instruction of the farmer along
the lines of veterinary medicine.
Through the practice of veterinary
medicine it has been found that if the
farmer had taken few precautions,
most serious losses.
A few suggestions then of some Of
the common errors should be in order.
Corn, chop and ground barley,
should only befed in very small guam
titles to horses.
If horse is accustomed to hard
work he should not be given u days
complete rest, especially upon full
feed.
Stop to pull a nail from a board
rather than turn it over.
Remember that a colt between the
ages of 2k and 3 years gets -l2 new
teeth. See that the old ones are pro-
perly shed. Have veterinarian ex-
anime ourhorse's mouth once a year.

THE HUMAN SACRIFICE.

When these men who are in
valids" now, sailed away to Cuba
and the Philippines a few years
ago they were the flower of the
youth of the nation, picked men.
They returned shattered in
health and incapable of taking
their proper places in the race of
life. Thousands of their COM
panions never returned. They
perished miserably in southern
fever camps or fell in battle.
What have we to show for the
supreme sacrifice they made?
The Sugar Trust seems to have
gobbled up Cuba and Porto Rico
and many believe that our pos
session of the Philippines may
eventually embroil US in one Of
the bloodiest wars of history.
WILSON'S TASK.
These are a few of the facts
that the great kind, patient man
in the White House is turning
over in his mind as he seeks the
key to this Mexican riddle. I am
sure that he would not sacrifice
the life of one red-cheeked,
warm-hearted American lad to
protect all the investments
which the Wall Street buccaneers
have made south Of the Rio
Grande. He undoubtedly feels,
like the rest of us, that if the
Morgans, the Guggenheirns and
the Rockefellers want a war the
scions of those noble houses
should shoulder their guns and
do the fighting.
He is laboring night and day
now to establish peace in Mexico,
lasting, permanent peace found
ed Oh constitutional government
and not on the knife of the as
sassin. If he succeeds he will
have done a great work, AS l
said at the beginning of this re-
port l am not afraid of Wilson
stampeding. and so long as his
steady hand is on the helm there
is no excuse for any Of the rest of
us becoming hysterical.

From Colorado.

war with Mexico. l am not
afraid of Wilson stampeding as
Mckinley did under the spur of
the yellow Journal" campaign
which preceded the Spanish
American War. but it is just as
we'll that we sit down and calmly
consider the cost, of conflict
with our peppery neighbors to
the South Of us.
I know that the average jingo
does not considerit good form"
to stop to count the cost of war.
He would have us fight while our
blood was up and permit posterity
to do the counting. But the
jingoes seldom do any of the. real
fighting. They confne them
selves to the talking end Of the
game. Like Artemus Ward, they
are willing to sacrifice all their
wives relatives but they are
mighty careful of their own
precious hides.
Now, what is the situation in
Mexico? Huerta, red-handed
assassin, is maintaining a pre-
carious hold on the central gov
ernment. The surviving follow
ers of Madero seem to have him
in a tight place. and according
to the most reliable information
obtainable in Washington, they
will be in a position in the near
future to stand him up against a
stone wall and shoot him. That's
exactly the treatment he is en-
titled to and the entire civilized
world should rejoice if he re-
ceived his just deserts.
MADERO A PATRIOT.
It is pretty we'll established
that he was bribed to betray his
chief. The interests which had
become intrenched in the South
ern Republic during the regime
of Porfino Diaz hated Madero.
He was dreamer, an idealist, a
patriot. He wanted his people
to have large measure of liberty.
He wanted Mexico for the Mexi-
cans and not for a band of ex-
plotting adventurers. Ina word,
he was a leader in the centuries,
old and world wide battle against
Special Privilege. And Special
Privilege fought him as Special
Privilege always fights, doing
whatever vas necessary to attain
its ends. ... .
In this case it was necessary to
bribe the commander of his army
and to permit that commander to
kill him while he slept and to
seize the exalted position which
the murdered man had filled with
so much honor, and ability and
self-abnegation. For a time it
seemed that Huerta's bloody cup
had rendered him supreme and
that Madero's friends, scattered
or crushed. could not make head
way against him, There was no
talk then of Intervention! The
men who are now clamoring for
the soldiers to cross the Rio
Grande did not suggest that
Un,le SIM and the other world
powers should send a column of
troops to the City of Mexico for
the purpose of hanging the
assassins as high as Hamon. On
the contrary they clamored for
recognition Of the government
founded on murder. 1t was not
until the Maderists had reorgan-
lied their shattered forces apd

FEAR FIGHTING YANKEE"
Most of the Americans now in
Mexico are employees of the big
mining and other corporations.
They are being kept in the
country for the purpose of pro-
tecting their employers property
They could have been withdrawn
to this side of the Rio Grande at
almost any time during the last
two years, but they have been
ordered to remain at their posts
and, like the brave Americans
they are, they have obeyed.
They are well armed and up-to-
date, have demonstrated their
ability to look after themselves.
In addition, all the participants
in the revolution have manifest
ed a disposition to give the fight
ing yankees wide berth. The
result is that despite all the hull
aballoo raised by interested
parties there has been little or no
loss of life among the Americans.
There has been destruction of
property, but the loss falls on
millionaires who are amply able
to await the restoration of peace,
when they are sure to be COM
pensated.
GREAT ARMY NEEDED.
No one in Washington pretends
That we could undertake the
pacification of Mexico with an
army of less than two hundred
and fifty thousand men. With
such an army, barring foreign
complications. we could seize the
City of Mexico and the other
principal cities of the Republic.
But then what?
Would we. oust Huerta and
seat CarranZa or ATTEMPT to eS-
tabish a protectorate as we have
done in Cuba?
There are fifteen million peo-
pie in Mexico. Suppose they OBJ
iected to our solution of the pro-
blem. how many years and how
much of men and money would
it require to convert them to our
way of thinking?
This war game is the most ex-
pensive ever devised by the brain
of man, and it seems to cost us
more than any other nation on
earth.
We are now expending $780,
600, 900 a year in pensions alone.
Since the foundation of the gov
ernment our pension bill has
amounted to 81. 1888, 1868. 163 SO.
Of course, that represents only a
small part Of our war bill. It
does not cover the cost Of main
tanning the armies in the field
and the navies on the sea. 1t
represents merely the pittance
we have tossed to the shattered
human wrecks who survive the
conflict.
Our war with Spain did not
amount to much as wars go. 1t
seemed a summers day frolic for
our boys. but every city, town
and hamlet in the nation contains
pathetic evidence of the fearful
price we paid for our triumph.
Already %, 841 Of the survivors
of that conflict have been placed
on our pension rolls as invalids.

Aerial Navigation in India.

Anticipating the advent into India o1
 airships, the Indian airShip act was
 passed In 1911. Under that act the Governor General In council Is author
 ized to prescribe certain rules. A draft of the proposed rules has now been extended that objections and sugges- tfons concerning the amendment of these rules will be received no later than October 14, 1912.
 The proposed rules forbid any one to possess or use an airship without 8 license, which may be obtained from certain designated officials. Before a license is issued particulars are to be filed giving the names, occupation and residence of the applicant and des- crfption of the airship; that is to say, in the case of the dirigibles, the type, the capacity of the envelope, overall length, diameter, material of which the envelope is made and the name of the maker, carrying capacity in weight and number of persons. In the case of aeroplanes the description shall in clude the type, whether tractor or propeller driven. span, total length fore and aft, height total carrying ca pactty in weight in live load, including pilot, the disposal of seating accommo- dation, position of drivers seat, and whether fitted with dual control. The applicant shall also describe the en- zine, giving its cylinder and horse
