Ailment Largely Result Of Hogs Pilins
Up In Sleeping Quarters.
1t is the belief Of DR.. c. c. Lipp of
the South Dakota experiment station
that pneumonia in pigs is preventable
During the winter months this ailment
Is largely the result Of hogs pillng up
in their sleeping quarters and in turn
being exposed to the cruel elements of
winter 1t is a fatal disease, and for
that reason every swine breeder should
consider it worth while to take certain
precautions, according to Dr. Lpp.
The trouble is prevented in large
measure by taking time during the
winter to see that the hoghouse is
warm enough so that the hogs will not
pile up and to enforce the policy Of
using plenty of dry bedding. If the
hogs sleep on a cement floor and this is

Scope of Prohibition Arguments.

The Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association dc
clares officially that the adoption OF prohibition
would cut off $50 ooo, 900 year in State and mu-
nicipal excise taxes; would throw $4,000 men out
OF work; would vaCate 2S 900 stores and buildings,
and would destroy business with 81 so ooo, 900 of
capital invested in it, These arc important items
for consideration, to be sure They OF interest
because in them are involved the problems Of ad-
ditional direct taxation, the absorption OF an army
of idle men into other industrial pursuits the de-
probation Of real estate values and the principle
of conhscation by statutory enactment
But the kernel OF the nut is found in none OF
these, vital they to particular interest.
After all, it may be argued with some truth that
ii we concedc the success OF prohibition, the $eo,-
100000 year would be small price to pay for
universal sobricty; loss OF employment to $4,000
men is matter OF grave concern to them and their
families only, and the State has a right to con-
hscate ST. ooo, 900, or any other sum- if its own
welfare is at stake and conhscation will conserve
it. The State is sovereign.
The argument against prohibition is not COR
fined within narrow limits The pregnant truth
is that prohibition assails the liberty OF the ind
vidual, making him ward instead OF d citizen Of
the State; destroys his sclrcspect and stimulation
to initiative by exercising over him a benevolent
patcrnalism and officially notifies him that he is
rot capable OF taking Of himself that he is a
defective when it comes to the selection OF food
and drink.
Prohibition may be all right in Russia, or Ger
many, other countries centralized in their po-
ltica structure, but prohibition for is organized
opposition to our system of governmcnt-Ncw

United States Responsibility.

The government Of the United States has a
plain duty to perform Even though it cannot be
demonstrated that the border cities are to be used
for the launching of a German raid against Cam
ada, precautions should once be taken to nip in
the bud any movement OF the sort. A consider
able part OF the regular army OF tho United
States, and especially of the field artillery should
be located within striking distance of the frontier
cally weak State militia would not be left unadcd
to oppose the progress Of armed Germans toward
the border. 1t may be taken for granted that if
the invasion Of Canada is seriously contemplated
the invaders from breaking the law Nothing
short of display Of overwhelming force would
safeguard the honor of the United States-Toronto

easily put by. War between the two
hauons had come close enough 20 give
both very disturbing glimpse Of pos
sible fatal sntagonisms
The spring OF 1869 saw armies upon
all the long borders Of the Coufed-
eracy and fleets upon the coasts and
on the western rivers
The area OF the war WAS defined
Before the end OF the year its whole
scope and character were determined.
In the West stroke after stroke OF
the federal arms forced the confeder-
ate lines southwark.
The accumulatiug Northern armies
and hOtillas broke their way down the
valleys OF the western rivers like an
irresistible, crushing weight.
In the East. on the contrary, all
things hung doubtful.
The federal commanders there had
not the gifts OF the men In the West
and fought against antagonists who
outplEyed them at every move. They
found no way 20 concentrate their
force upon the southern armies: were
puzzled how TO take the best way OF
attack and yet keep Washington COW
cred: and Richmond seemed more inac-
cessible than the heart OF Alabama
Men who had the character and th-
capacity to succeed in the field made
their way one by one TO federal com
mand In the West at the very outset:
conspicuous among them Ulysses
Grant. quiet soldier whose qualities
OHly a day OF action could bring out
He had won \ first IiCuteuancy az

few except his immediate superiors
had noticed how his capacity had
shown itself upon OCCs sion In that

Writing in the current issue of the New Ar
menia, Hadji Avnoullah Mahdi Bey says: 81 re-
sent emphatcally the constant imputation that the
Turks and the Germans are alike. We are above
the Germans-the civilized world ought to recog-
nize this fact-and culture is superior to the
German kultur. That in alliance with the
Germans does not prove anything. We needed
a powerful European ally for the triumph of our
Moslem religion, and Germany was anxious to
serve our purpose People call US the tools of the
Germans but it is the Germans who are our tools
They have served US in every capacity; they have
furnished with money, ammunition, aeroplanes,
submarines, battleships; but nevertheless we de-
spise them. No Mohammedan would ever dishonor
Mohammedan woman or Intentionally destroy

LEARNING.

You know how to write and read
Worthy gifts are they, indeed,
But when trouble draweth near
Have you learned the Road to Cheer?
When some blight her pail doth fling
Has your heart learned how to sing?
In the darkness of the night
Have you learned the way to light?
In the grip of some despair
Can you free your soul Of care?
Reading, writing, and their kind,
All are splendid for the mind,
But who'd Happiness control
Must be learned in Heart and Soul.

living called by such names as goodness or santli-

that the success has brought its penalties in tho

worthy motives, such envy or jealousy. Oftener
they are enslaved by the critical habit so common

There arc, OF course, conditions in life where
we are all eager helpers. When, after long failure
a man wins success, how the applause rains upon

when we see failure. Then encouragement is

For all people an atmosphere OF disapproval OF
criticism, of encouragement to incentive and to
self-respect, is hard to bear. 1t is also the cause
of many disaster to character, through leading to
the sef-depreciation and to the indifference that
makes effort seem futile Those who take us at
generous valuation inspire us to our best. Even
If what we regard as our best may not be much
more than seeming, it nevertheless draws from us
recognition Of true worth. Furthermore, it plants
in the mind an ideal that may flower into reality.
Many weak character has been made strong
