About its being smallpox. or

WHAT IS SELF PITY?
Self Pity Evolves Hypocrites.
1t is the First Stage of a
Diseased Brain. Don't
Be A Complainer.
Reformatory Press

Self pity is the act of feeling
sorry for yourself. You sit down
and weep because you are not ap-
preciated or worshipped as you
feel you should be. Not being
appreciated, you cast about for
reasons. 1t is only step to find
them. You are hated-folks are
plotting against you. Uncon-
scieusly, the self-pity habit brings
Indifference, then pity, then con-
tempt for everybody with whom
the individual associates. He
would better take the bumps that
life sends and regard them as les
sons.
Life is a struggle against our
own limitations. If we pity any,
one, let's pity the folks who have
to live with us. It is privilege
to live, to engage in the struggle
for existence, to fight for the right
and if need be, to suffer and die
for it. To have pain is proof that
you are alive. Dead ones have
no pain. Those who are alive are
bound to suffer. This is part of
the great education of every indi-
vidual who really lives and
achieves. And to live in itself is
an achievement.
To go down, and acknowledge
you are down, is the only defeat.
When you indulge in self-pity you
are On the slide, reaching for the
swab. Mans business is to sur
mount, to arise, to aviate; and
when he begins to help himself,
he grows strong and everybody
will help him.
Self-pity is the first stage of par
Onia; and paronia is disease of
the brain that comes from contin-
ual thinking of ones own self. and
dwelling on slight fancied insults.
If we fail in an undertaking. we
blame others. If we succeed we
take all the credit to ourselves. It
is very much easier to blame some
one else than to face the issue; and
so we hide our blunders behind an
excuse, evolve self-pity, explain
the matter to anyone who will
listen, to get them, if possible, to
help feel sorry for us.
Self-pity evolves hypocrites
who pretend that they feel sorry
for us, when the fact is, that down
deep in their hearts, they think
less of us for every whine, every
crouch and every growl. When
we explain, when we accuse, when
we denounce others, self-pity be-
gins to consume us, and power
takes wing. Carry your chin in
and the crown of your head high.
Keep your mouth closed, your
eyes open, and breathe through
your nose. Don't bewail to 9th
ers.
Time is great adjuster of all
wrongs, and in the course of even
a short lifetime we get all that is
due us. That is to say, we get all
that we give. Is hate my portion
just now? Life is shooting the
chutes. Take your bumps and
don't whine. There is quiet, safe
ty and rest in silence, down at the
bottom where you are headed for;
and there will be plenty of time to
enjoy them, too. Let's be CRATE
full that we are alive. There are
over ninety million folks in Amer
lea who never played us a single
nasty trick.

Ecuador, RlODamba Is growing
most rapidly and today, with
about 25, 900 inhabitants, it stands
as commercial outpost for the in
terror trade of the ''Oriente" ter
ritOry.
On account of it's location as
we'll as because of it's Importance
as the seat of government, Quito
is not thought likely to increase at
as rapid a rate as either Guayaquil
or other seaports. But Riobamba
as an inland center has many ad-
vantages that are bound to turn
the attention of the intending set
tiers toward a section of Ecuador
that only needs more railroad COM
munication in order to make it's
Importance tell.
The possibilities of cattle raising
in the "Oriente" and farther to
the east, beyond the range of the
Ecuadorean Andes, are consider
able. Exports of hides have been
going on for years, but there has
never been so systematic an effort
to develop the animal industry as
in Argentina, and yet it is believed
that Ecuador could furnish all the
beef necessary for the west coast
countries, and still export large
quantities.
Expert opinion on tropical
farming is to the effect that with
out any increase in the present
acreage, Ecuador's yield in tropi-
cal products could be increased by
$50 per cent through the applica-
ton of modern methods. The
vast areas of fine grazing lands
along the Colombian and Peruvian
borders are thought destined to
become great cattle and sheep
country.
Labor in the low country of
Ecuador is as distinct in character
from that in the hill regions as are
the agricultural conditions them
selves. In the tropics the labor
ing class is mixture of Spanish
and negro, few of the negros be-
ing descendants of the early slaves,
and the others having been brought
from the West Indies. There is
also to be seen in the low-lying
regions a sprinkling of Chinese
and Indians. In the hill country,
however, the laboring class is COM
posed almost entirely of Indians.
Notwithstanding the scarcity of
laborers, in most of the agricul-
tural sections the work is poorly
paid. Plans for encouraging i'm
migration have been under way
for some years, but little has been
accomplished toward settling the
parts of the country where there
is no railroad communication.
Interest recently has conferred in
negotiations between the govern
ment and railroad constructors for
building number of feeders to
the Guayoquil & Quito railway. A
line between Ambato and San An
tonic would at once open up a
country particularly well suited
for colonization. A road north
ward from Quito through the
town of Tulcan is also talked
about, but it all depends on how
soon the political condition be-
comes normal, for at present the
government has all it can do to
pacify the outlying territories,
where revolutionary activity con-
tinues to keep the troops occupied.
President Plaza, however, ex-
poets to put into execution his pro-
gram for development the very
moment the opportunity presents
itself.

Stumbled much or gone astray.
just begin afresh today.
Buckle to it.
For the errors you have made
And the fault that you've displayed,
Needn't leave You sore dismayed-
We all do it.
There is none so wise or great
But has faltered in his gait,
Left the pathway that is straight,
And been humbled.
And in every great man'6 wake
There is many mistake
That his courage tried to shake.
When he stumbled.
Just because you've lost one fight
Do not cease to seek the right,
Battle on with all your might.
Fame will crown you.
Keep your courage, struggle on.

Who has stumbled.

means sunlight, fresh air. absence of
dampness, pure water and opportun-
ity for exercise; 1t means the removal
of sick fowls from the flock and the
swift cremation of any that may die,
as we'll as dead animals of any kind
that may be found on the premises.
Medicines and stimulaRts are not
necessary to keep fowl in health. A
healthful environment is better. Drugs
often undermine physical vigor and
bring on a condition of disease. The
notion that egg production must be
stimulated by cayenne pepper cop
peras, Venetian red. or Spanish fly
is serious error. 1t is claimed that
continuous laying, even under normal
conditions. so weakens the vitality
as to seriously reduce the fertility of
eggs. What must be the effect when
egg production is unnaturally forced
by stimulating drugs?
Not the least feature of good SANTA
ton is the dust bath in winter to
fortify against. the invasion OF lice
and mites. Over crowding is a menace
to health, so also is pampering. On
the farm, where a free range invites
to exercise and there is an abundance
of sunlight and pure air. health should
be the rule and disease rare oc-
curence.
Disease in the flock has been the
stumbling block of many a hopeful
poultryman. Here are few general
principles for prevention: The foun-
dation stock should be strong and
vigorous il we expect to maintain the
stock In healthy condition. The en-
vironment must be kept as nearly
ideal as possible at all times When
disease appears in a flock there must
be prompt isolation of all fowls that
are affected. Remedies must be eff
Gent and promptly applied.
White Diarrhea-This most fatal of
all disease is handed down from hen
to chick. II is caused by a species of
bacteria known as bacterium polio
rum. 1t secures Judgment in the ovary
and develops there. When the egg is
laid some OF the cells are found In
the yolk. When the chick matches n

vitality and, if kept as breeders, are
sure 20 perpetuate the disease in their
offsprings.
Treatment-Inject all fowls from
which eggs are to be used for hatch
ing with ten drops of oculm. Disin-
feet the incubator with spray of
creoline; sponge the eggs with ethel
alcohol, and supply the chicks in the
brooder with green food
White Combs a species of mould.
The remedy is to place the fowls in
dry quarters and apply a mixture of
lard and iodoform, or even lard and
sulphur.
Roup-This is probably dreaded
more than any other disease. There
need be no fear of it if the environ
ment is made sanitary. The common
remedy is the axe. Isolate all sick
fowls by placing them in warm. dry
quarters and applying to the head
mixture of lard and sulphur, giving
liberal portion internally. About
three applications will cure the worst
cases.
