THE ONLY CURE.

THE ONLY CURE.
Drunkenness presents the greatest
problem before the people of this
commonwealth today" declared Judge
Michael ]. Murray Of Boston before q
meeting of the Twentieth Century
club. mo spirit Of economy should be
permitted to stand in the way Of find
ing cure for the evil" he said. Dur
ing the year ending October 1. 1913.
104 900 persons appeared in our courts
to answer to charges Of drunkenness.
OF these $4,000 were first offenders.
There should be an institution
where the drunkard could be kept
away from more evil Influences. l am
not total abstainer myself, but see
the evil Of our system. Nineteen out
of 20 persons arrested for drunken
ness are English speaking. Ninety
six out of every hundred men in our
prisons have led Incorporate lives.
When you talk to man who is
charged with crime you find there is

others who see in drunkenness q

themselves from the personal use of
alcohol, which even in the smallest
doses hinders clear thinking about IT.
self and its products, they would soon
find a cure for the evil" They would
see that what Is needed is not ian In
stitution where the drunkard could
be kept away from more evil infiu-
ences," but an abolishment Of that
institution which subjects him to the
drst evil influences.
Liquor behind ali crimes!" And

INTERESTING COMPARISON.

A commission appointed by the Ger
man government to compare the de-
scendants Of drunkards with those of
moderate drinkers has just made its
report 1t studied ten families of each
class, as a result Of which it states
that 43 per cent Of the children of
drunkards die within few months of
their birth, against only per cent of
the children of moderate drinkers.
Among the children of drunkards
there are 10 per cent idiots. 8 per
cent epileptics, s per cent dwarfs, and
in only Z per cent of them does the
intelligence develop normally.

HOW TO BE "FIT."

Sir Frederick Treves, surgeon to
the late King Edward, recently said:
There is a great desire on the part
of all young men to be fit A young
man cannot possibly be fit If he takes
alcohol. By no possibility can he
want it. That any one young or
healthy should want alcohol Is simply
preposterous. They might just as
well want strychnine. Thus the argu-
ment for the young man is: You
want to be a man, and you want to
be fit You cannot get fit on alcohol.
No man dreams of going into
training and taking alcohol. He must
reach the acme of physical perfec-
ton, and that must be without alco-
hol"

EXCELLENT FOR SHEEP
ALFALFA ALMOST INpisPENsA.
BILE TO LIVE STOCK GROWER.
From Comparative obseurity It Has
Come Into Prominence During Last
Ten or Fifteen Years for
Breeding Animals.
(By R. J. KINZER.)


The use of alfalfa cannot be too
strongly urged with sheep. either the
breeding or fattening stock. As the
method of farming has become more
intensified and the open range grows
less each year, an acre OF alfalfa must
be made to take the place Of. many
acres Of range pasture.
Sheep. being ruminants. are able to
handle much more bulky feed than
horses. A breeding flock of sheep can
be carried through the winter season
very successfully with but little grain
In addition to alfalfa hay. Ordina-
rily the first cutting Of alfalfa Is not
as good for sheep as the second and
third cuttings, as 1t is usually coarse
and stemmy, and sheep do not eat
these stems readily.
1t Ia about as safe to pasture old
sheep on alfalfa as it is cattle. They
thrive on 1t, and make excellent gains;
but sheep bloat easily and there is
likely to be little loss from this
source. Lambs can be pastured on
alfalfa with but little danger Of bloat,
and the way they grow on alfalfa Is
a delight to the shepherd. They should
never be put on the pasture, when
they are empty and hungry, and 1t Is
always we'll to allow them access to
some dry feed and keep them OF
the alfalfa until the dew Is on; also
on damp days. A mixture Of alfalfa
and brome-grass or alfalfa and or
chard grass is a safer pasture than
alfalfa alone.
A flock Of ewes and lambs can be
grazed for q short time each day on
alfalfa with but little danger OF any

loss. II a lambcreep can be arranged
from the sheep corral to an al
falfa pasture, the lambs will soon
learn what it is intended for and will
do far better on 1t than il confined to
a dry yard. Newly seeded alfalfa can
be pastured with less danger Of bloat
than an old field. and the packing Of
the ground by the sheep passing over
1t Is frequently great benefit to the
alfalfa
AS roughage for fattening sheep
alfalfa hay has no equal, and cases Of
bloat from the hay are exceedingly
rare. 1t can be fed either whole or
cut, and fed with grain. Many prefer
this method of feeding, claiming that
there is less waste by it. In feeding
experiments nothing has been found
for roughage that equals alfalfa for
fattening sheep. In an experiment
at the Kansas station. alfalfa and
prairie hay were compared as rough
ages. In the test the grain ration was
corn and cottonseed meal for both
lots. Those receiving alfalfa hay made
an average daily gain of 1886 pounds
per head, while the lot on prairie hay
made only .18S pounds per head daily,
the alfalfa lot making almost twice as
great gains. The alfalfa seemed to
give the lambs better appetite and
they were always ready for their grain.
and as soon as their grain was cleaned
up they were ready for the alfalfa.

seed. It is often necessary to go into
grain fields with a scythe and cut this
weed out to prevent 1t from seeding
before the main crop is cut. Plow
the land as soon as the crop OF grain
is removed. Then replow late In the
fall, leaving all roots possible exposed.
A three-year rotation Of barley. clover.
corn or other cultivated crop should
be practised.

ALCOHOL A RACIAL POISON.

At the diamond jubilee Of the United

England, DR.. c. W. Saleeby, declared
alcohol a racial poison which greatly

that the fight against tuberculosis and

No lime for Criticism

It is time for indulsing in such criticism that offered by senators Tuesday night preced ing the adoption of the resolution of justification" If the movement against the Mexican ports had been provoked by nothing but the Tampico incident it would not of course, be justified. But there had been many previous provocations. and some of the criticising senators had earlier criticised the admin stration for permitting them to pass without pro test That criticism in the light of what hap pening was just, but if the policy of the admnis tration for q year been unfortunate and has invited such a situation is presented, it is still the business the country meet the situa tion.

The Constitutionalists?

IL is popularly surmised that there is an under standing between state department and Car ran2a and Villa that the constitutionalists shall maintain a policy hands off while this govern ncnt is dealing with Huerta. If there is such an understanding, what subsequent conditions ii any. involved, do know Carranzt and Villa would have good reason for preferring to maintain such a policy. They would have no reason at all for aiding Hucrta. But whether they could control their followers is another matter
 Doubt of that ability seems to be entertained both hy Carranza and the American officials. That is displayed il. the hurr!ins of Americans out of Torrcon. which is in eonstitutionalist hands is less liable to attack by the fedcras than it be- foie the occupaton of Vera Cruz. That OUT state lc,artncn fears that Americans not secure in .hhuahua and Sonora, both controlled by const- tutionalists is shown by a waning issued by MT Bryan to consular agents in both states for Amer jeans to to this country and remain until order has been restored
 Probably the Mexican sentiment constitution ast well federal is represented by the con- sttutionast consul. Lelevier. at Douglas who in signed statement issued last Monday said he lieved that the United States troops would not Mexican soil He continued:
 T do not believe that the United States will step into Mexico with armed force because of the Tampico incident. l cannot believe that the United States will call the Mexican people to for the action of dictator such Huerta and his sub ordinates. In my opinion. this move means only the blocking of the ports controlled by 1uerta demonstration for the insult O the American flag. This itself would intervention and consequently would affect cause. In of the disf;raceful of armed intervention in Mex territory I not liberty to tell what posi- ton we will assume
 But the American troops have landed Mex ican soil and it rests with Huerta say whether they shall invade the capital itself. Already the of the consul, the disgraceful of intervention has occurred. Blood has been shed both sides. We what choice the stitutionalists the leaders but the rank and file will make.
 We believe that the intelligent constitutionasts fully realize the frendiness of the United States thr its desire for the restoration of peace and prosperity in Mexico We think that they will understand that government has territorial designs against their country and that it is not engaged in with their country
