MILLIONS DEFEcTIVE.-The in
consistency of the kept press and
philanthropical prominent individuals
regarding humanitarian justice and
Christian ethics is noticeable.
AS an instance, the conspicuous
space in the newspapers regarding
the deformed Baby Bollinger affair,
and how shocked some of our leading
citizens declare themselves. They
talk of justice and of God. If they
are not hypocrites and are interested
in humanity let them assist and not
hinder organizations that strive. for
justice. Why not as much publicity
regarding the school children and
their condition? One million have
fiat feet, spinal curvature or other
moderate deformities, one million
have defective hearing, five million
have defects of vision, six millions
have adenoids or enlarged tonsils and
cervical glands needing attention,
ten millions have defective teeth in
terfering with general health, five
lll1lEOllO Ou1lC1 l1O411 IA
other words, starvation. In all, f1f-
teen million children, three-fourths
of the whole number, are in need of
attention.
There is plenty of medicine and
enough dictors willing to use it, but
the workers can't pay the expense of
a doctor. Wages are so low they
can't buy decent living. Worry and
improper food mean an early grave.
Don't blame the doctor There is
work for all to prolong life. Will our
public-spirited citizens perform the
operation, or will they let the school
children suffer from neglected
health? -Chas. johnson, 1883 Ste

ply must thank you for that editorial
about big Bill"
am one of the women voters who
voted for him, and believe that the
women's vote was a big factor in his
election. But the way he has acted,
or rather not acted, in this garment
workers strike has rather knocked
my confidence in him.
1t is a shame and a disgrace that
those poor workers are not given a
living wage. work and get $40 per
week, which is small enough to live
decently upon. My mother keeps
roomers and has small income be-
sides, and we merely live with what
we need to eat and wear. How can a
girl live, or even attempt to live, on
81 or perhaps less? 1t is about time
that the women and girls in this
city stick together and demand a
living wage for those who do not
get it.
l would like to head a list Of
names in a monster petition asking
our mayor" to do the right thing
in this case, and would be glad to
give all the time necessary to get
such a petition before him. If there
are other women who feel as 1 do
hope they will communicate with me.

WIDE, TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on County
Highways as a Roller on PIowed
Field-Wagon Pulls Easter. Z


The following appeared in a recent
issue of Extension News Service, :"
published by the University of Ne.
braska,
Wide tires build up roads and save
horse labor, according to the depart.
ment Of agricultural engineering at
the university farm. They have the
same effect upon a country road as a
roller on a plowed field. On the other
hand, the narrow tire cuts up a road
like disk. 1t has been found BY
actual test in this department that
the Wldestired wagon pulls easier in
nearly an, cases than the narrow-tired
wagons In deep mud on country
road theFwide-tired wagon pulls So per
cent easier. On the country road
with a thin surface Of mud or deep
dust, however, the narrow tires pull
40 per cent easier, In "a cornffeld
the wide tires pull 3O.5:per cent easier.
in dry alfalfa field 1T per cent
easier. and on a dry country road 1912
per cent easier.

| the litter, or as a change from the
others, it will of course not be neces-
sary to feed so much of the expensive
grains.
The small potatoes and the potato
parings and trimmings from other veg
etables used in the house can be
boiled, sailed and peppered, as for the
table, and little bran and cornmeal
mixed with them, just enough to take
up the surplus moisture, so that the
mixture will not be sloppy. This
makes a good, and also a very mex
pensive, mash feed. With 1t may be
mixed the meat scraps.
Beef bones and scraps should be PUN
through bone cutter, or be chopped
up by hand into small pieces, before
giving to the hens.
Skim milk costs really nothing on
the farms, and II the hens have all OF
it they will drink, they will not eat
80 much other food.
II these cheap feeds are handled
right, 1t will leave only the last feed
at night to be Of the high-priced
grains, and if well fed during the days
on these other things, they. will not
eat so much of it then.
They should have good feed OF
grain, mostly corn for their supper, in
order to keep them healthy and sup
ply bodily heat during the cold
weather.
By following these suggestions, the
hens can be almost entirely kept on
the waste products of the farm, and
what is received for the eggs will be
nearly all profit.
If properly housed and given plenty
of warm water to drink, they will lay
we'll on this bill of fare, and we can
rejoice over good supply of eggs
when winter is here and the price
goes soaring.

Fumed Oak.

A good method Of producing the Pc
culiar dark brown of old oak is by
fumigation with liquid ammonia. The
wood should be placed in a dark and
alright room, and half pint or so of
ammonia poured into an open dish
placed upon the ground. The gas that
comes from the ammonia acts in q
wonderful manner upon the tannic
acid in the wood, and browns it so
deeply that a shaving or two may be
taken off without removing the color.
The depth Of shade will depend upon
the quantity of ammonia used and the
time allowed for the operation. Other
methods may be used to obtain a sim
liar result. Liquid ammonia may be
laid on the wood with brush or rag,
and the color will deepen Immediately.
Potash bichromate, dissolved in cold
water will produce similar effect.
In Germany, the cabinet makers use
very strong coffee for. darkening oak.
To make it very dark, use iron filings
with a little sulphuric acid and water,
put on with sponge, and allow it to
dry between each application, until the
right hue is reached.
