THE BEST POLICY.

Honesty by the wisdom of the an.
gents has been accredited as the
best policy, even if no higher motive
inspires it, and mans subsequent ex.
rellencG has seen no reason to
change the rule. 1t also follows that
not merely paying debt is the best
policy, but being candid and straight
forward about it when one cannot
pay debt is also a good policy that
works out best in the end. We have
in mind concrete instance of this.
A man ordered and received certain
work from this office, and though re-
Deatedly billed for it, paid no atten-
ton whatever to the duns. Finally
we drew on him through the local
bank. He inscribed on the back of
tue draft, Have written" but though
Uncle Sans mail is reliable and the
Dead Letter Office always gives up
its dead, the letter he wrote has
never come to light.
Next, when business took us to
his town, We held personal commu-
nica'.OE with him, and he promised
to make payment by a certain date.
This was, be it noted, the first word
elected from him after the order. We
strongly intimated that if not paid
thea, il would be given to a lawyer
for collection. Six days after the
date set, he paid.
But has he not nullified all good fe.
fects to himself in paying the debt?
Wou|d We ever credit him again? IT
seems to us that if he could not pay
in the first place, he should have
been candid to admit the fact and
have asked for time. Playing the
lodges for time has ruined his repu-
tation with us. We submit the in
ctdent for Instructions sake.
Candor and straightforwardness areI
indeed good forms of honesty.

: lie ERlEpMANN SERUM.

On the eve of his leaving New
York for demonstrations in Canada,
Dr.. Friedrich F. Friedmanns tuber'
cUlOsis serum received its greatest
Endorsement when DR.. Max Landes,
man, head of the Peoples Home, in
Second Avenue, where the first
American tests of the serum were
made, declared that the patients treat
ed there last Thursday are already
showing marked improvement.
In the cases of the two men and
the young woman who were treated
the night sweats have practically
ceased, pains in the patients chests
have been greatly allayed, their
coughing has nearly stopped, and the
fever is decreasing, according to the
declaration of DR.. Landesman, back
ed by the nurse who has the cases
under direct observation.
On his return to New York the lat
ter part of the week, DR.. Friedmann
hopes to treat hundreds of patients
free. Other physicians are gathering
cases il readiness for him. DR.. Fried
mann declares that it is not a cure
all, and cannot snatch people from
the Nerv jaws of the grave. He con-
slders it cruel for physicians to hold
out such hopes to patients in the last
stages of consumption.

DR.. DOwling's reply to Col. Parker
appeared in print Thursday, and he
has the advantage of the Colonel in
being able to keep down every ap-
pealance of temper, while his sar-
casm is subtle and penetrating. DR..
Bowling maintains his right to in.
spect the state institutions and to
point ont what he regards as preju-
dlcial to health. Among these he
reckons 3 drinking cups and one roll
Ter towel for 1872 prisoners for use
during day, when not at meals. DR..
bowling makes no attempt to mini
mtze Col. Parker's claims of gener-
al healthfulness, further than to
claim that the latter's remarks are
without substantiating statistics.

BREEDING HOG RATIoNs
Animals Should Be Fed For Bone
and Muscle Rather Than
For Fat

Hogs which are intended for breed
ing purposes, both boars and sows,
must be fed for the development of
the muscle, bone and constitution ra
Their than for production of fat, says
the American Agriculturist. They
should have the period of growth pro-
longed until they are fully develop
ed In both body and frame. Muscle
and bone building feeds are those
which contain a relatively high con.
tent Of protein and ash or mineral
matter. They include wheat, bran,
shorts or middlings, skim milk, lin
seed oil meal, the leguminous forage
crops such as cowpeas, soy beans.
alfalfa, the clovers, velvet beans, the
vetches and the packing house bypro-
ducts, such as tankage, meat meal
and blood meal.
or these high protein feeds skim
milk is one Of the best and cheapest.
Skimmilk If available, should be feo
to young hogs intended for breeding
purposes, especially bears. The best
results are secured when skim milk
is mixed with bran, shorts, cornmeal
or some other feed which will thick
en- 1t. This slop should be fed sweet
and be thin enough to pour readily.
In case skim milk is not available
linseed oil and packing house bypro-
ducts may be utilized, but should be
fed sparingly to young breeding stock
owing to the high content Of protein.
Linseed oil meal may supply from 4
fifth to a sixth Of the ration, provid-
ed no other protein feeds are fed.
Packing house byproducts may sup
ply from a tenth to a twelfth Of such
a ration. Leguminous forage crops
furnish cheap source of protein. Be.
sides the economy of forage crops
they afford exercise for the boar
while he is harvesting his own feed,
and this increases his thrift and STAN
ina.

Caminetti trials, caused Lee Baker Of
Peabody, Kansas, who was arraigned
here today on a white slavery charge
to change his plea from guilty to not
guilty.
Judge Pollock said the Mann act
applied only to commercial features
of the interstate transportation of
women. Baker, through his attorney
had pleaded guilty, when the Judge
asked:
DO you base this plea on the in.
terpretation Of the law In the Diggs
case?"
Bakers attorney replied that he
did, and expected the same ruling In
this case.
Under the law as | construe it,"
the Judge said, ''the commercial fea
ture must be proved. 1t was not the
aim of congress to prevent the per

DYElNG AS AN ANCIENT ART

The practice of dyeing is so ancient
that it would be folly to attempt to
say where or when 1t originated. The
place or period of its genesis no one
can tell, or even guess. As far back
as history or traditions can take us
we find the dyeing vat. Phoenicia
was famous for its rich dyes, as was
Egypt also. Modern chemistry does
not seem to add much to the efficacy
of the art. The colors of the most
ancient times of which we have any
knowledge were as fast as any that
can be made today. In fact, 1t is he'd
by some authorities that men of four
or five thousand years ago possessed
secrets about dyeing that would be
greatly appreciated by us II We could

GRAZING REGULATIONS
UPHELD BY STOckMEN

There were only LA cases of graz
ing trespass on the national forests
during the past fiscal year, according
to a report issued from the forest ser.
vice. The service considers this re-
markable, in view of the fact that the
national forests contain 13S,OO0,OOO
acres and have boundaries many
thousands Of miles in length. Nearly
$4,000 grazing permits were issued,
and more than 100000 head of do
nestle animals grazed upon the for.
ests for periods from few days, in
crossing, to whole year.
The various forest officers In charge
of the areas on which this stock graz
ed are much pleased by this record
because 1t reasonably might b. as
sumed that 1t would be extremely diff
ficult to protect this large area from
the encroachments of live stock and
from depreciation of various sorts. A
large part of the difficulty, however,
Is obviated by the ready cooperation

or the 144 cases where the depar.
lures from the regulations of the de-
partment Of agriculture were consid-
cred serious enough to warrant the
filing of h trespass charge, 20 were
dismissed by the department because
of a lack of proof. The department
points out that, while there were of
course, great many minor violations
due to lack Of knowledge or a mis-
understanding of the regulations, they
were settled without difficulty thru
the issuance of permits to cover the
cases or by personal conferences
which were sufficient to prevent fur
Their trouble.

Pigs that have become too fat by

to prove the disturbance began at

the accused, sought to show by wit
ness that he was at home and In bed
with him and did not get up until
long after the trouble was over.
How do you know that Dennis
was in bed by eight o'clock, the dis
trict attorney inquired.
Hadn't we clock in the house?

"Oh, and did the clock strike after
Dennis came in?
We'll, no; the clock wasn't strik-
