In the use of intoxicating liquor or the

symbol Of q more subtle disorder. The

A Bed for Seventeen.

Probably there is no. bed capable oil
holding so many as seventeen In this
country. But such bed is to be found
in the Mount Tet hut 10000 feet
above the seal. one Of the Swiss noun

club. The bed Is really constructed
to hold only fourteen. but the day Oh
which party visited the hut was so
exceptionally clear. and the conditions
for climbing were SO favorable, that
twenty-one members and friends, be-
sides the guides accompanying them,
turned up at the cabin to stay the
night. The guides took possession of

The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress IN
this nation than the greed for gold.
and it ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party
that seeks to make junk OF an in
dustry. or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures, po-
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story Of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their consummation
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the

The farmers Of America today are

at five per cent, represents $4,000. 000.-

Value Of a Quart of Milk.

When you sell q quart of milk for
seven cents you are giving more food
for the money than the buyer can get
IN most other forms. 1t is twice as
cheap as mutton or fresh fish, six
times as cheap as dried beef. nearly
three times as cheap as beef chuck.
40 per cent cheaper than pork loin
three times as cheap as beef sirloin
nearly three times as cheap as eggs
The staples that cost less in proper
