A Warming Given

Evidence of what appears to be a
we'll organized campaign to delude
farmers throughout the country into
buying an alleged cure for hog
cholera, under the impression that
this has been investigated and APP
proved by the United States Govern
ment, has reached the Department
of Agriculture. Articles praising
this medicine, Benetol by name.
are being sent out widespread to
newspapers. These articles are so
worded that it appears as if the De-
partment of Agriculture had receiv-
ed reports from the state CT Mime
sofa showing that the medicine had
proved most beneficial. AS a mat
| ter of fact the one report received by
the Department was an unofficial
and unsolicited statement sent pre-
sumably from the promoters them
selves. The Department attaches
no importance whatsoever to this
statement. 1t has no reason to be-
lieve in the efficiency of any pro
prietary cure for hog cholera and
does not recommend any. Under
certain conditions it urges farmers
to protect their stock with anti hog.
cholera serum but that is all
In connection with this attempt
it may be said that the medicine,
which is now put forward as good
for hogs, was advertised some time
ago as a means of killing tuberculos' s
typhoid, and cancer germs, accord
ing to an article published in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association. At that time it was
asserted that the Army was interest
ed in it. As a matter of fact the
Army was no more interested then
than the Department of Agriculture
is now.
In view of tie evidence that the
attempt to create this false impress,
sion is persistent and widespread,
all hog owners are warned to COM
municate with the United States
authorities before accepting as true
any statement that the Government
recommends any treatment other
than the serum already mentioned.

Warns Older Girls
Of "SpOoning" Perils

"Spooning" is a crime against
girlhoOd and womanhood.
John J. Alexander, one of the
directors, sounded this warning to
500 young women attending the
older girls conference of the Inter
national Sunday School convention
in the Third Presbyterian Church,
Chicago.
Boys who attended the older boys
conference received a like admoni.
ton, even more strongly worded, to
treat womanhood with respect. Miss
Margaret Slattery of Boston was the
speaker.
Miss Slattery brought home her
maiD points to the boys by using a
flower as an emblem of womanhood
Tearing it apart bit bit, she said;
No person on earth can make
that flower whole and beautiful again,
Be clean. Think clearly. Be your
sisters keeper "
You must aid your young men
friends by your dress, speech and
manner to attain that new type of
American manhood that is most
needed" Mr.. Alexander told the
girls.
What we want to see is kind
of Manhood that stands for every
thing good, especially for respect for
womanhood. This ideal cannot be
attained without the help of you
girls.
Pass the word along to all the
girls who love to 'spoon'-that spoon
ing is a crime against their woman
hood, the most degrading thing they
can do, one of the most degrading
things they may permit"

Gustav Schreiber's
Music Box
An Attempt to Produce HUI
man Feeling Automatically.
By F. A. mitchell

In a Swiss chalet looking out on
Lake Lemah directly below, and on
Mont Blanc, in the distance, lived a
musical instrument maker. His work
shop was near his house, and all day
he worked at making those little me-
chanical contrivances in which steel
prongs are made to discourse melodies
by means of a revolving cylinder.
Gustav Schneider gradually increased
the size and scope Of his instruments,
constantly endeavoring to make bet
ter one than any he had yet made, and
when he had done so setting out again
to make a still more exact one. In
this he displayed human trait which,
when kept within bounds, is a valuable
one, but which uncontrolled is liable
to produce bad results.
Schneider in his old age set about
making a music box which was to be
far more wonderful than any he had
yet produced. 1t was to play a dozen
different melodies. Each melody was
to be a gem and be rendered with
sweetness, a strength or a rapture
equal to that of human being. In
order to accomplish this he must have
the pieces he used played by
musician whose touch, expression-in-
deed all those qualities that go to
make up perfection in music-were of
the highest order.
The old man found such one in his
daughter Hilda. She was noted far and
wide for her rendering of all kinds of
music, from that portraying a cascade
to that descriptive of the storm wind.
Schrieber kept Hilda playing for him.
first trying to produce in his box deli
cate airs, and, failing in this, he tried
different kinds, hoping to succeed bet
ter in one kind than another; but,

they called the Spartan women hard

Lycurgus, reformer that he was, was

women in this, but even commanded prac-
tices that would send any modern imlta-

he originated a dance that would dis

scarcely five new theatres have been
