HOG HOUSE BULLETIN OUT.

Story Of SunIit Community Building
Designed by Evvard and Davidson.
Down back of the experiment station
barn at Iowa State College is low,
oblong building that has attracted more
attention within the last year or so
than any other building at the college
or experiment station In Ames. Hun.
dreds of farmers and live stock mei.
from all parts of the state and country
have made pilgrimages to see it. Prob
ably forty or fifty farm papers have
published pictures Of it. The building
is built of hollow tile and it is known
as the Iowa sunlit community hog
house"
The story Of this new hog building
as designed by John NJ. Evvard, ]. B.
Davidson and w. G. Kaiser of the Iowa
experiment station, has just been told
officially for the first time by these
three men in bulletin 1855, just off the
press. In this are published the plans
and photographs of the building, ac-
curate estimates of the cost of building
1t. and information as to both the adj
yantages and disadvantages Of the
house.
ne community idea is that it brings
the whole drove Of hogs into one build
ing. vet in separate pens The sunlit
part Of the plan is that there are win
dows in the roof to let in plenty OF
sunlight to kill disease germs and
keep the house sanitary. Shade and
ample ventilation are provided, too. For
warmth, safety and comfort, conveni-
ence, serviceability, durability, mini
mum cost and pleasing appearance, it
Is doubtful if any better type of hog
house has ever been devised.
Copies of this bulletin may be OBJ
tanned by writing to the Iowa expert
ment station at Ames for It.

moral strength. We make haste to-
ward the light and frivolous and tran
sient-forgotten in an hour-and hesi-
tate, as the helpless, before that
which permanently informs and in
structs. The people run after and
laugh at and stare at one sort or
another of foolish display and fleet
ing diversion until they are liable to
become fiabby and mushy and lose
their identity-lose their ability to
think seriously and soberly when It
becomes necessary. They can hardly
sit through a religious service-if they
attend service at all-or any other oc-
casion where sober reflection is appro-
pirate unless something lurid or spec
tacular is brought in.
That a great religious body should
take notice of such conditions is most
natural. Indeed to ignore them or be
Indifferent toTthem would be evidence
of decadence. But, after all, TO at
tempt to apply strict rule is too much
like interference with personal hab-
its and tastes, not necessarily HARM
full and is treading on dangerous
ground. Itsmay be better to de-
nounce the tendency to excess, as it
certainly deserves to be denounced,

TROUBLESOME QUESTION.

The Methodist church does not yet
appear to have reached solid ground
on the amusement question The sub
committee on aInusements Of the gen.
eral conference, in session at Sara
toga, has recommended the elimina-
ton from the book of discipline Of the
clause prohibiting dancing, card play
ing and attendance upon theaters and
the substitution of a mere warning
against such diversions. The advocates
Of the change claim that the effect
upon young people will be better if
provisions that cannot be enforced is
withdrawn and merely general
warning issued that the church does
not sanction the amusements hitherto
placed on the inhibited list
This relaxation from the more dras-
tic rule seems to be reasonable. 1t Is
a rule that never has been enforced in
much more than a half-hearted way
at best and in most instances not en-
forced at all. To keep a rigid rule
standing and wink at its violation is
no better than TO abolish the rule and
be content with general admonition.
Internationally there is excess in
the matter of amusements that well
may cause concern to others as well
as church authorities, says the Bloom
ington Paragraph. Too much money
and too much time are being spent on
that phase of life to- the neglect OF

OUR MEXICAN PROBLEM

General Carranza has been insist
ent that President Wilson fix time
limit for the withdrawal of the Amer
ocan troops now in Mexico and Presi
dent Wilson, in refusing to accede
to this request, has acted as every
American must want him to act.
Carranza's desire to have Ameri-
can troops withdrawn from Mexico
has seemed to US Just a shade i'm
pertinent, even a little insolent.
Especially is this so in light of re-
cent outrages at Glenn Springs and
Boquillas. 1t fails to show due ap-
probation Of the eternal fitness of
things and of American generosity
toward the setting up of the present
de facto government.
Without the recognition of the
American government the Carranza
leadership would today be an even
more precarious thing than it is. 1t
might even have passed away by now.
We afforded Carranza international
recognition, virtually set him on the
Mexican presidential chair; we await
ed his action on many breaches of
international courtesy and of interna-
tional law when we might have sum
marily dealt with him. Finally we
sent our own troops across the bor-
der to quell an uprising that his own
power was insufficient or too indolent
to suppress.
In return for this oft repeated
kindness Carranza's demand for the
withdrawal of American troops is in
gratitude indeed.
But President Wilson, though he
Rock Island Argus., 1916-05-16

has refused to set a definite date to
withdraw the United States troops
across the border, has put time
limit on their stay in Mexican terri
tory that should appeal to Carranza
if the first chief has any sense of
fairness left in him. He has offered
to withdraw our soldiers just as soon
as Villa has been captured or killed.
This puts matters squarely up to
the Carranza government. If it wants
the Americans to- withdraw it<need
only display a cooperation that has
hitherto been entirely lacking in the
Villa pursuit. 1t will do its share of
bandit catching, will push its own ex-
petitions against him and aid the
American expedition by offering the
use Of railways.
If Carranza does none of these
things then we will have no other
choice but to believe that he is not
sincere in his expressed wish for our
withdrawal; or else we may choose
to believe that he is not sincere in
his expressed wish for the capture of
Villa. In either case we may elect to
stay bit longer. Carranza's wishes
TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
We may even,, should we be i'm
pressed that Call'anZa is not doing
his share to suppress lawlessness in
the republic, decide to keep what
troops are already there in Mexico
and reinforce them with sufficient
more to suppress even the Carranza
government and restore order as we
found it necessary to do in Cuba,
Haiti and Santo Domingo.

UP TO GERMANY.

The absurdity of the contention that
Wilson was trying to promote war
with Germany" is clearly shown by the
promptness with which the president
accepted Germanys new assurances
at their face value. Well-informed
opinion in the United States was hon
estly divided on the acceptability of
Germany's reply. 1t was intimated in
many quarters that the notes cOnces-
Sions to American demands were more
apparent than real and that the tone
of the first portion offset to large de-
gree the few conciliatory passages in
the latter part. Nevertheless, Mr.. Will
son, desirous of peace at any reason
able price and hopeful of a sincere
reformation of German submarine
tactics, unhesitatingly staked his faith
on the integrity of the German govern
ment in its proffers of concessions.
It is apparent, however, that the
president means exactly what he says
in his acknowledgement of the German
reply:
THE government of the United
States will rely upon scrupulous ex-
ecution henceforth of the now altered
policy of the imperial government
such as will remove the principal dan
ger to an interruption of the good re-
lations existing between the United
States and Germany"
In other words, while anxious to
retain Germanys friendship and good
will and ready to accept her assur-
ances at face value, the future rela-
tions of the two countries are in Ger
many's keeping. And it is safe to say
that nobody, either in the United
States or Germany, desires more
ardentIy than Woodrow Wilson that
these peaceable relations may never
be interrupted.

First, have your Bright's disease de-

First, have your Brights disease de-
tected before your health fails. This
may seem like beginning hundred
years before your birthday to be well
born, but it is much easier than that
All you have to do is report once
year to your family doctor and, like
the Hebrew who was informed that
the new doctor charged only SO for
the second call, greet the doctor thus:
We'll, Doctor, here l am again" And
let him see how you compare with the
specimen you were year ago.
The average case of Bright's dis
ease (nephritis) endures for about Is
years. Without realizing that there is
anything more than dyspepsia "ner-
vousness," liver trouble" sick head
aches" "anemia" or "biliousness" the
matter, the patient is liable to cut
himself off much sooner than that
the victim of Bright's disease really
and truly digs his grave with his ap
petite Not with his teeth. He doesn't
give his teeth enough to do. 1t is ap-
petite that kills. We poor ignorant
civilized beings are obsessed with the
fear of starvation; we hurriedly eat
more than we can metaboliZe and the
kidneys have to stand the strain. The
hardest thing doctor has to do is
to persuade an invalid or a near-in-
valid to skip a meal.
A three or four day fast is the near
est thing to cure of diabetes yet dis
covered. A one day fast is wonder
fully helpful in acute Brights disease
(uraemia especially, and an occasion
al fast enables the kidneys to catch
up when handicapped by chronic
Brieht's disease. We welcome persons
with Bright's disease as members of
the Bread and Milk club. One day
of bread and milk diet in each week
is a distinct advantage in the treat
ment of the disease
Be vegetarian if you have Bright's
disease. The animal proteins place
the heaviest strain of all foods upon
the kidneys and vegetarian diet can
supply better energy and endurance
than any kind of meat.
Wear lightweight, knitted, all-wool

Correspondence of The

greatest iron and steel corporations
have just published their balance
sheets for the last year, and both show
huge profits.
The Alpinen Montangesellschaft
shows a clear profit of nearly four
million dollars as compared with less
than $1,S00,000 in 1914. The dividend
paid was y per cent. In 1914 it was
only IL per cent. The board of ad-

other allowances amounted to con-
siderably more than 100000.
The second corporation, the Oester-

which was 100000 more than in the
preceding year. The dividend declared
was Is per cent against 1912 per cent
in 1914. These are the highest profits
made since the corporation was or
ganized. The principal stockholder

The powers of Latin-America will

should be contemplated. Notification
to this effect has been given to the
secretary of state by representatives
of the interested nations. Their gov

patton of Mexico is a mistake that
the effect has been to undermine Cen
eral CarranZa, whom they recognized
as provisional president at the in
