Reading for a Boy.

We wish we could get the boys TO
read "In Tune With the Infinite" Lub-
boch1s pleasures of Life" Drum
mond's Natural Law in the Spiritual
World Wagner's The Simple Life"
Serviss' Astronomy With an Opera
Glass" and similar books, all of which
could be read in the time that boy
usually frittcrs away. 1t needn't take
away n moment of the time devoted to
fun and play, though it might divide
time with the usual branches of study.
We speak of the above books be-
cause they tend to awake ones divine
energies and make ones life nObler
and happier. The greatest part of n
lad is his spirit. With that, impulses,
aspirations and tendencies are created.
Without it, his life becomes negative
and vague. These books in places may
be little difficult to appreciate, but
n boy can get some flavor from them
that will be decided benefit to him.
1t is the way to acquire diligence, pur-
pose, insight into the meaning of
things, the love of duty, the grand
heights of self-reliance, traits and
qualities that glorify boy.
The fact is the boys spirit is mis-
used at home and school because it is
not fed on the food that strengthens
it. 1t cyphers and parses and refuses
to admit to its heart, courtesy, cour-
age. work, aspiration. reverence and
other divinities that are knocking 10
get in. The reading of these books
will change all that and actually put
n boy in tune with the intinite.-Ohio

as simply, quickly, and surely as pos
sible, dismissing the wounded that you
cannot keep under your care in such
condition that they may be transport
ed farther without danger from any
possible accident. Losing sight of the
great majority of his cases. the mill
tary surgeon lacks any self-criticism
of his results.
ITO Il physician first visiting the
front after serving in large base hos
pital is presented an entirely new
phase of surgery absolutely different
from any of his previous teachings or
experiences. In n war such as we
have today, where there has been
continuous fighting for months with
out any armistice, all his carefully
planned and marked-out ideas of first
aid are shattered, for he. finds that
the dead and wounded soldiers can
only be removed by stretcher-bearers
from the field of action at night, and
that when this is accomplished, the
motor aIhbulances cannot take the
wounded to the field hospitals, be-
cause by showing lights they would
draw fire. Many unfortunates, there
fore, are forced to lie outside the lines
for hours, sometimes days and weeks,
in the mud of manured fields until
their torn clothes and wounds are SO
soaked in mixture of blood and dirt
that it is often impossible to. get the
wounds clean.
The 'Hilfsplatz' is the first place
the soldier reaches when carried from
the field. 1t is usually located in
some available building such as n rail-
road station, barn, townhall or church.
Here the wounded soldier receives his
first attention. The heavy cases are
separated from the light ones and are
sent to the 'verbandpiatz,' lazarets
or hospitals farther behind the line
and of better equipment"
Doctor Tullidge states that the first
duty of the hospital corps is to pre-
pare the wounded for transportation,
so that no harm or accident can come
TO them en- route. Not only have tis-
sues sloughed away from the almost
explosive effect of the modern rifle bull
let, but fresh complications arise from
broken bones. The ideal way would
be to set the bones in plaster of paris.
regardless of complications. Since lit
tie plaster of paris is to be had upon q
battlefield, splints must be improvised
from any material long and hrm
enough to keep the joints ut rest i'm
mediately abo.e and below the frac-
| ture.
Telescopes, sabers, bayonets, bun
dies of twigs, newspapers, wrapped up
as they come from the post; hammers,
shovels, lcggings, books, boots, even
stockings filed with sand and earth,
are among the extraordinary possibil-
tiles which Doctor Tullidge has seen
used as splints. If no suitable splints
can be obtained, rs n last resort the
patient is bound to n stretcher, with II
sheet wrapped completely around him
and the stretcher.

evoke his finest qualities; only under
such condition will men truly be un-
equal.
There Will always be leaders there
viii always be men to be led. There
are men who want to lead who want
to be powerful. They will find their
place.
1T is natural for some men to want
power. Today in America money is
power. To be powerful the American
accumulates money. Not for the money
itself; man can use so much and no
more, the rest he works to give away.
The normal man wants money for the
power it brings with it. Only the
miser, the unbalanced man, wants
money for itself.
Money Means Power Here.
In other countries, Russia and Ger
many, for Instance, reputation is pow
er. Equally great minds are attracted
by the power that attaches itself to II
great scientific reputation or that of n
great artist, an inventor or II renowned
physician. In the United States, how
ever-called by many the land of
money-money alone is power. Here
the most frequent way to acquire pow
er is to acquire money first.
"Under socialism the true leader
will be in the right place. Money will
not be necessary; the man with abll-
ity will have power"
The labor situation was described
graphically by Doctog Steinmetz.
industrial reorganization is taking
place. All forces are working toward
it. The Socialist party represents po-
lidcal power the unions industrial
power.
'Syndicalism, however, l consider n
symptom of labor unrest totally un-
American. The members of the or
ganiZation are generally foreign pau
per labor. These men cannot be
reached by political or industrial or
ganization. You will never find n
strong Socialist party or labor. union
where the Industrial Workers of the
World is fiourishing.
"Only nation with wide open doors
| to immigrants would have such n prob
| lem. 1t exists nowhere else, except
perhaps in the English colonies. In n
homogeneous nation the problem of
sporadic labor unrest does not exist"
! Labor Unions Grow Strong.
Labor unions are growing stronger,
Doctor Steinmetz explained. The So
cialist party is growing stronger. But
the pressure, indirect, brought on the
other political parties brings about
more socialistic measures than If the
Socialist party We're in office.
Under social democracy" said Doc
tor Steinmetz, under the pressure of
the Socialist party everywhere the
parties in opposition and in power
have been forced to consider measures
that are fundamentally socialistic. 1t
is sign of the beginning. The direct
pressure behind the political parties In
power is showing its effect. The coun-
J try is becoming socialistic, no matter
what party is victorious. Socialism
is coming"
So predicts the master mind of cleo
| tricity, the man who stands head and
shoulders above his fellow workers,

VALUE OF MANURE SPREADEF
Saving of Labor 10 Only One Of Man,
Advantages Offered by the Use
of the Implement.

Most farmers believe that the great
est value to be derived from a ma
nure spreader is in the saving OF labor
As a matter of fact, this is only one
0f the advantages offered by the use
OF such an implement.
Another advantage which is even
more important in many ways. is the
fact that manure scattered evenly and
rather thinly over a wide area will
rive very much more return per ton
,L-n where scattered irregulaTly and

This increased return is due to the
ilct that there Is less loss in fermenta-

THE RAvAGBs OF LA GRIPPE.

of persons attacked this year is prob

to be most dreaded, after all, is the
