thinking about it.
Only One Bath Room.
These poor, old people should be
kept warm and there should be an
abundance of hot and cold water at
all times. But there is just one bath
room in the building and all the wa
ter for it must be carried in buckets
and the only way of warming water is
to heat it on a stove. Our association
has just succeeded in sending a tuber-
culosis patient there. When l saw
the conditions under which he must
live, 1 was sorry we had sent him
there and yet he has the most sani-
tary quarters of any of the inmates.
He is living in tent out in the yard.
A man in his condition should have an
ample supply of hot water bottles to
keep him warm. At best there is only
a bare chance of his recovering. But
hot water at the poor farm! I guess
not.
81 hope just as many persons as
possible will make it a point to visit
the poor farm before voting on the
establishing of a better county farm.
They should go and see for them
selves just what the conditions are"

WHY THEY LEFT EDEN
Anti-Race Suicide Policy Drove Adam

Chicago, Nov. At was antt-race
suicide policy and not any scheme of
the opportunities, indeed, that were
his scheme-which caused Adam and
Eve and their immediate descendants
to leave the garden of Eden. So, at
least, students of political economy at
the University of Chicago learned.
Several of them, talking over the af-
fair, credited Professor H. G.. Moulton
with the new version.
It was not really a Punishment at
all, but a migration. The garden was
a very small place, with limited re-
sources to begin with. Then Cain and
Abel with their children and grand
children and great-grand- children in
creasing in geometrical progression,
soon overtaxed the little place
Then came the migration of the
whole tribe and later arose the legend
of the forbidden fruit and the willy
serpent and the flaming sword which
drove forth mankind from it's cradle.
