Local Bachelors
Safe for a While

The loins Of local bachelors were
girded Tuesday night for defense
against promised onslaught from
some of those who believe that a sub
stantial tax should be levied upon all
those who through life adhere to the
tenets of single-blessedness.
The arena was the auditorium Of
the Congregational church. The
gladiators, G. d. Wightman, Johr
Love and Ezra Mason for the affirm.
ative in the debate Resolved that
Bachelors Should Be Specially Taxed
and Gail Abbott Fl. III. Root and W.
s. Edmund for the negative.
They fought the good fight. Each
had exhausted ancient history and
seemingly every lexicon on the face Of
the earth in an effort to down the adj
versary. Rich, rare and racy were
the arguments brought forth. Some
Of thoses projected by the affirmative
were that, under the law, as all tangi-
BILE property is supposed to be taxed
naturally the bachelor would fall un-
der that head; that special privileges
being taxed, and the "bach" a genu-
inc beneficiary Of a big bunch Of them
when compared with his bridled broth
or, ergo the tariff. One speaker urg-
ed that it was not the high cost oi
living that kept bachelors from we'd
ding 50 much as the high cost Of low
| ing. N
Some of the arguments against the
tax were that the dictionary defines
the term bachelor as referring to ar
unmarried woman as well ais an un.
married man, and that q tax fair tx
|all would have to be levied upon both
which Ia r,aanp eases would work !
Hardship on the woman. Further
that a tax Of this kind and the pol
tax is the same in essence, and that
the poll tax had been declared un-
constitutional in Ohio. That tas
on bachelors would tend to lower the
ethical standard Of matrimony, in that
many would take to wife to avoid the
tax, regardless Of the love germ. Also
that there are two distinct classes Of
bachelors voluntary and involuntary
and to tax the latter unfortunate clas;
would be worse than taking candy
away from baby.
It is safe to say that the debatori
know more about etymology, Egypt
lology, phylology, psychology yea, ,ant
physiology, as pertaining to wedlock
since they were selected to settle once
and for all the question Of slapping {
tariff on "old tops, than ever be
fore.
The debate and entertainment wer,
under the auspices Of the, G. E. societ!
of the Congregational church and net
ted them $43. The musical part o.
the program is noticed in our regulai
musical department.
The judges decided the debate il
favor Of the negative.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
 Kidney Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condition of the kidneys.
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patients urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health and strength.
 When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics. Brisht's disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble. caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1913 in the State of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney rem edy is Dr. kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
 The mild and healing influence of this preparation in most cases is soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy.
 If you feel that your kidneys require attention, and wish a sample bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this paper, enclose ten cents and they will gladly forward it to you by Parcel Post.
 Swamp-Root is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes-50c and sl %. Adv.

USE OF ALFALFA
 FOR HORSE FEED
Because of Its Palatability, Ma ture Animals Are Apt to Eat
 Too Much of It.

Alfalfa is a splendid horse feed, but must be fed with judgment and care. Because of its paiatability, mature horses are likely to eat too much of 1t, if permitted free access to it. The average farm horse at hard work is allowed to eat much more alfalfa and other roughages than he really needs to maintain his weight. One pound of alfalfa or other hay and about one and a fourth pounds of grain per day of each one hundred pounds of horse flesh makes a good ration for the work horse
 Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse from the cattle racks is very accept able to horses. Feed mature horses first and second cutting alfalfa which first and second cutting alfalfa which is free from mold and dust To make allowed to stand until well out in bloom. In curin- horse hay, it is well Co keep in mind that the dust which is present in so much alfalfa is largely a result of the presence of foreign moisture, such as rain or dew, at mak- ing time, rather than the presence of Never feed wet alfalfa hay to horses.
 A sudden change of feed deranges the horses digestive system. Horses accustomed to alfalfa as a regular part of their ration are seldom troubled from it's use.

ORGANIC MATTER TO
 HARD. WORKED SOILS
Additional Supply of Plant Food Is Furnished and Bacterial
 Activity Increased.

Organic matter of soils is the decay ing roots and vegetable compounds and the really active soil constituent as compared with humus. Humus is the decaying vegetable matter already incorporated in the soil and has be- come a distinct part of the soil mass. A supply of organic matter is kept in the soil by applications of vegetable matter such as barnyard and green manures. which keep up the humus content as well. If soils are cropped long and continuously to grains in which the growth is mostly removed, they become sad and lifeless. The particles rua together badly, causing greater effort to work the soil, and also less production. The surface pud- dles and bakes and becomes intract- able. It may be made to respond to proper treatment in the application of organic matter. At the same time this matter furnishes an additional supply of plain food. increases bac- terial activity and releases otherwise unavailable plant food. It also aids in proper aeration and drainage. It is indeed poor farming practice to fail to supply organic matter to hard worked soils.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
 GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look oIdI Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify
 Gray, Faded, l!feIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull. faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get large bottle of this old-time recipe. ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended spcn to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A welLknown druggist says every body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur. because 1t darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied-its so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an- other application or two. it Is re- stored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

etary. Orange juice may be given to a very young child provided it is not followed or preceded by milk. A tea spoonful of orange juice is one of the best tonics to give a baby. Stewed prunes are wholesome, as well as figs and dates in moderation for the school child. A child who is fed dried fruits will not crave sweets and cake which are unwholesome, especially be- tween meals.
 Bananas are such a good, cheap fruit that we should have them served oftener in various ways. They contain starch. and in consequence should be thoroughly ripe to be whole some They may be ripened at home. and when the skins are quite dark they are best to eat uncooked. One of the things about bananas which cause digestive troubles is the astrin- gent substance next the skin. Care fully scrape the banana after the skin is removed and the irritating principle will be removed.
 Bananas sliced with sugar and cream make a most tasty dish for a child's lunch or supper. As a salad, with lemon juice and olive oil or sweet salad with oranges and pine apple they make nourishing des- sert.
 Cooked bananas are especially nour- ishing. Baked with butter and a little lemon juice they are both palatable and nutritive. The cooking furthers the digestion of starch in the fruit and thus makes them more digestible.
 Children's food should be, first of all, simple. Too many kinds of combina- tions are upsetting to the delicate stomach of a child. So in serving fruits see that they have variety, but not more than two kinds at one meal.
 What is true of fruits is also true of vegetables. They should be fresh and in 2 good condition. All vegetables containing woody fiber should be we'll and thoroughly cooked.

CBv PROF. LII sKINNER)

(By PROF. J. Fl. SKINNER)
 Several years ago Professor Cochel. who was then my associate in the de- partment of animal husbandry, assist ed me in an experiment in finishing yearling calves in dry lots as com pared to the pasture. The results ob- tained may be briefly summarized as follows:
 Calves given full feed of grain from November to May made more rapid and cheaper gains, obtained a higher finish, sold at higher price and returned greater profit fed in a dry lot than when finished on the pas lure.
 The fulfilled calves when turned on grass shrunk so much during the first ten days that it required from two to three weeks to bring them back to their original weight.
 Steers fed in the dry lot consumed ( greater amount of concentrates than while on the pasture.
 The beef of the future must come from the farms of the middle West, and the feeder who. in the fall of the year, buys calves with a view to fin ishing them for market in such con- dition that they will sell as prime yearlings should realize that he is entering into a feeding proposition that will require from nine to twelve months for its completion.
 In order to make the greatest fnan- cial success from the venture he should select calves showing pro nounced beef types, quality, early ma turity, large capacity for feed and the milk fat" which has been secured by having suckled the dam until placed in the feed lot.
 The calves should. If possible. be taught to eat grain before weaning in order that there may be no loss in weight or condition when required to depend entirely upon themselves for sustenance. These two factors are only under control of the man who finishes calves of his own raising and who should logically follow the pro- duction of yearling beef in the corn belt.
 TOT nlm WHO makeS puslneSS Ol feeding cattle rather than producing them, the western ranges must fur nish the material for the feed lot, which means that the calves will nec- essarily have lost much of the bloom" carried st weaning time and also be entirely unaccustomed to the feeds used for production of beef in the corn belt. both of which will re suit in a longer feeding period where prime yearling beef is produced.
 When calves are first placed Tn the feed lot they should be given the most palatable feed that can be obtained until they have learned to eat. Most excellent results in starting them can be secured from a grain mixture of shelied corn bran and oats mixed in equal proportions by weight. adding one part of linseed meal to ten parts of the grain mixture.
 For roughage, good. bright clover or alfalfa hay and corn silage are most useful After they have learned to eat grain, the expensive feeds such as

 Milk, eggs and meat are the foods that build tissue; cereals, fats and su- gars give energy. Fruits and vegc- tables supply the mineral salts and materials which make good blood and bones
 The first foods mentioned are the most important, most expensive and most often poorly used. They can sustain life longer than any of the others.
 Dietitians differ as to the time of introducing meat into the child's diet, but the most natural way is to give the child his energy foods in milk and combinations of milk and eggs until he has a good set of teeth to masti- cate the heartier meat.
 Eggs should be given in various forms at least once a day. Scrambled with cold cooked rice will be a method which will economize with eggs. yet make a most palatable and sustaining dish.
 Soft cooked eggs should be the rule for children, or when cooked in va rious ways, be sure that they are not cooked tough and hard.
 The best meats for children are chicken. beef, lamb and bacon once in a while. Children should never be given meat oftener than once a day and then in small portions.
 Cereals are of such variety that one may have a different kind every day in the year, nearly.

In all cooking of cereals for children or for anyone. in fact, the long cooking is an important point to emphasize.
