TEXAS INCREASES SILVER
 OUTPUT.

The output of Texas mines for 1914 as stated by Charles w. Henderson, of the United States Geological Sur vey, amounted to S234 in gold 530,S17 fine ounces of silver, 149, 9,027 pounds of lead, 23,760 pounds of copper, and 216,451 pounds of zinc, with a total value of $313,7S7, which was slightly greater than the total value in 1913.
 These figures show a considerable increase for silver, large decrease for zinc, and smaller decreases for gold, copper. and lead. The greater part of the output of silver came from the Preside silver mine and cy- anide mill, in the Shafter district, Preside County. Some silver, copper, and zinc were produced at Van Horn, Culberson County. The greater part of the lead and zine came from the Sierra Blanca district Fl Paso County.

final struggle for the control of the brush, the friendly boy Tapped the brush into the working boys face, in so abundant fashion that the lime in the whitewash entered one of the eyes and injured it for life, leaving a scar which neither medicine, operation nor treatment can get rid of.
 Another injury recently reported is one not so likely to happen to any boy A boy was so anxious to have his face clean and presentable at din her that he made up thick lather and then so completely enveloped his neck, head and face with it that some entered the eyes, burning the eyeballs so that the boy was hardly able to see at all. This boy is injured for life owing to his own thoughtessness. If he or his parents had attended any public health lectures on the care of the eyes, they would have understood the risks of using strong alkalies near the eyes in any fashion.

1s SHE GOING TO GET TT?

Evene yet there are few big pusi-
 oss institutions which fail to recog- ".Y :~o +be wisdom of granting vacations '.;t,, M nav to employees just as there W. ".,'' stilI to be found here and there
 t;oro+ed office buildings without ele-
 .ators and other modern conveniences, s~t tbe number is, comparatively, so Ds,au as to be negligible. In pro- ~noss;ve business organizations, provi- sion for vacations or holidays are made with the same care that Is giv- on to other details of management which are expected to yield profit. The employer who grants leave for +wo or three weeks rest and recrea- t;ou to his clerks, stenographers and donartment managers is not actuated altogether by humanitarian motives be expects to get his money back with . fair increase because of the increas- ed vigor and efficiency of the wage earners. A good many employers are even coming to realize that occasional vacations for themselves are rather wise investments.
 But what about vacations in the business of running the home? John and Bobby may spend few weeks at boys camp. the girls are pretty sure to go for an outing trip or for little visit somewhere and even Father generally manages to find time for something else besides work once in while. but in the average home when does Mothers vacation come? When does she get away absolutely from the care of house and family" How many times has she declared she didn't want to go somewhere merely because she felt that her going would mean sacrifice for some other mem- Der of the household? And if she has made trip now and then wasn't she burdened nearly every minute of the time with the care of little Bobby or Susie? Isn't it about time for va cation--a real vacation without any strings to it-for mother ?-Holland's Magazine.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING
II. II. Shepard

Specialized farming is all right as
 long as the single crop is a success |every year and there is a good market for the crop. The specialized farmer has at least three chances to fail |every year. One of these is crop fail |ure for any cause, anothed is a poor |market for the crop and third is Failure of the farmer to market the |crop at the right time.
 A few years ago it was discovered |that certain portions of Texas were Splendid for growing onions. Special |onion farming was taken up in those sections on large scale. The crops

COULD BUILD SIX CANALS.

An unusual sight and one not with out special significance was that of Secretary of State Bryan signing the cards of 12,000 men who had taken the pledge of total abstinence at one of the Billy Sunday meetings, after MT. Bryan's address against the drink curse. His attack against the liquor evil from the economic standpoint in cluded the following statements
 Tt is estimated that the people of the United States spend almost $2,- 500,000,000 annually on intoxicating liquors. The cost of the Panama canal, the most gigantic engineering feat in history, was about S400000, ,000. Is it not appalling to think that we spend for drink every year something like six times the cost of the Panama canal?
 q have endeavored to obtain an ac- curate estimate of the amount of money spent on education in this country, and the figure given me is $750,000.0 900. We spend for drink more than three times as much as we spend for education.
 The annual appropriations of the federal government are a little less than $1,250,000,0OO. This sum includes the salaries of all the public officials, from the president down. All of these government agencies employed in ad- ministering the federal government of this great nation are operated at an expense of less than s1,250,0 ,000,0 900.
 Think. if the mind can comprehend it, of this nation spending twice that amount for alcoholic liquors"

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
 will Help Other Women.

Hines, Ala.-"l must confess", says Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that Cardui, the woman'S tonic, has done me a great deal of good.
 Before l commenced using Cardui, would spit up everything'l ate. had a tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was irregular. could hardly drag around, and would have severe headaches con- tinuouSly.
 Since taking Cardui, l have entirely quit splitting up what l eat. Everything seems to digest all right, and l have gained 10 pounds in weight"
 If you are victim of any of the numer- ous ills so common to your sex, it is wrong to suffer.
 For half century, Cardui has been re- lieving just such ills, as is proven by the thousands of letters, similar to the above, which pour into our office, year by year.

made stacks of money. The special onion farmer grew nothing but onions purchasing home feeds and foods. The drop came, with full crop grown. Northern markets happened to be we'll stocked with onions, and the South west growers could not market their crops at a profit. As a result. with no other farm crops to fall back on, many onion growers lost money and lost credit They are moving out of the onion territory. A few are plant ling their onion land to alfalfa. milo and other crops to sell directly or feed to live stock. Some are beginning to raise hogs and forage crops instead of onions.
 It is a good thing for every farmer to have a speciality, but it will not always work out so well to devote all land, capital, planning and labor to this one speciality. In the Southern states the growing of cotton to the exclusion of other possible good crops has kept farmers poor and de- pendent more than any other cause. When cotton crops were short and prices low, the purchasing of needed foods, feeds and other supplies were met with difficulty.
 Diversified farming is the safest and best method of conducting a farm. Seldom are more than two or three years in succession favorable to a special crop, and when the special crop fails the specialized farmer is handicapped for funds to carry him over to another successful year. The advantages of diversified farming are that some of the several crops grown are almost sure to be a success every year, and that some of these crops are sure to bring good prices. There is nearly always plenty of food and feeds for the family and livestock, and the spending of money for these is reduced to a minimum. The farmer can nearly always live without going in debt if he grows variety of crops every year, while the specialized farm CT in off years must contract debts and often his credit fails.
 One of the most successful farmers the writer knows began on poor so acres and has made a fortune by growing a variety of field and truck crops, and by keeping sheep, cattle hogs and brood mares. Literally a stream of cash pours into his pockets from farm sales every week of the year-from poultry, crops, livestock.

 Tn 1912, when West Virginia was one vast battle-ground for statewide prohibition" writes Lora $. LaMance, National w. c. T. U. organizer, in the Union Signal, T spent seven months in the state. In 1915, with prohibition an accomplished fact, l visited it again. The change is marked. A blind man could see it. Out from the prin- cipal towns the land of muddy roads is building here, there, wonder, paved roads into the country. Almost every mile has been built since the state went dry It is a new experience to the farmer, when the dirt roads are almost hub deep in yellow clay, to drive five or ten miles into town on a hard brick road, and get there with team and carriage as spick and span as when he started. City streets are being paved. parks are being laid out, street car lines are being extended, and new buildings are going up every where. In somo of the smaller towns, because the demand Is so great, houses are rented at extravagant prices"
