SALT POISONS CHICKENS AND
SWINE

1t has been determined that twenty
five grains of salt per pound of live
weight is sufficient to cause death in
birds. In fact, the poisoning of hogs
and chickens by eating salt or drink
ing brine is much more common than
supposed and the losses quite large. 1t
may be caused by eating salt pork or
fish, by drinking brine left from freez-
ing ice cream, or the brine thrown out
from the pork barrel. Brine that is
four or five months old is especially
dangerous because of the poisons it
contains, half a pint beng a fatal dose
for a pig.
The symptoms of salt poisoning are
loss of appetite, dullness, sitting, mop
ing and unsteady gait, nervous dis
turbance resulting from poisoning of
the cerebro-spinal system, paralysis, in
creasing weakness followed by death,
often in a very short time. The treat
ment consists of a full dose of castor
oil followed by demulcent drinks, or
milk, but is difficult to administer, and
unless one has valuable breeding hogs
or fancy show birds is hardly worth
the effort since usually the animal is
beyond help before being discovered.
Prevention is better than an attempted
cure. Hogs that are fed regularly a
small quantity of salt become accus-
tom to it and are probably benefited.
II is the arge dose taken al one time
that acts as an irritant and poison

HIGH cosT OF LIVING
(TO BE CONTINUED)

In an interview today with DR.. P. P.
C~laxton, Commissioner of Education in
the Department of the Interior, he
made the fcl:owing statement regard
ing the high cost of living and a par
tial solution of it:
High cost of living" is on the lips
of all people in all cities, towns, SUBJ
urbans communities, and manufacture
ing and mining villages in the United
States. 1t is discussed in the editions
of every newspaper and magazine. 70
millions of laboring people and pro-
fessional people on small salaries it is
a very real thing. To hundreds of
thousands with large families of chill
dren to support and educate, it has
come to be a feareful thing; to many,
torture and death.
For the high cost of living there are
many causes. Two of these are the
unusual lack of food, and the fact that
most of the food is consumed far from
the place of production, which makes
the consumer pay the cost of storage
and transportation, and the profits of
the middlemen, many of whom, in
times like these. take advantage of the
wants Of the people to make profits
larger than they should.
"Is there a remedy? There is a par
tial remedy at least, but not wholly in
Investigations or legislation. This rem-
edy IS so simple and close at hand that,
| as is so frequently the case, it is over
looked. In the schools of the cities,
towns, suburban communities. and
manufacturing and mining villages of
| the United States there are approx
mately 5000, 900 boys and girls between
the ages of nine and sixteen. Most OF
them are idle more than half of the
year. They are in school less than
1000 hours in the year, and allowing
10 hours a day for sleep, are out of
school more than 1000 waking hours,
more than an average Of nine hours a
day, not counting Sundays. National
and State laws make 1t impossible for
most of them to do any profitable work
in mill, mine or shop. and many OF
them are forming habits OF idleness
and falling into vice. Even during the
vacation months only about 10 per
cent have any profitable employment
only about S per cent Of them go away
from their homes except for a few
days. Still. they must live and be fed
and clothed.
"For four millions Of these there Is

There would be no %pretense," he
answered frankly. 81 do care for you.
but 7 will rot dishonor my thought Of
you by thus deliberately scheming to
outwit your husband. / am IA man OF

was a boy have / dwelt in civilization,
but in all that time | have been COM

and cannot be guilty OF an act OF
treachery, even for your sake. Per
chance my code is not the same as the
perfumed g~allants' Of Quebec-yet it Is
mine, and learned In a hard school,"
He went on quietly, There are two
things / cannot ignore-one Is, that
I am an employee OF this Francois
Cassion. pledged to his service by my
own free will; the other is, that you
are his wife, joined to him by Holy
church, and although you may have
assumed those vows under coercion,
your promise Is binding. I can but
choose my path Of duty and abide
therein"
His words hurt, angered me; l
lacked power Of expression. ability to
grasp his full meaning and purpose.
"You-you desert me then? YOU
you leave me to this fate?"
81 leave you to reconsider your
choice Of action" he returned gravely,
his hat still in hand, his lips unsmiling.
II do believe your womanhood will
find q better way to achieve It's lib
erty, but what that way is I must
trust you to discover. l am your
friend. Adele, always-you will be-
lieve that?"
l did not answer; l could not, be-
cause Of the choking In my throat, yet
/ let him grasp my hand. Once l
raised my eyes to his, but lowered
them instantly in strange confusion.
Here was a man | did not understand,
whose real motives / could not fathom.
His protest had not yet penetrated my
soul. and | felt toward him an odd
mixture OF respect and anger. He
released my hand and turned away,
and l stood motionless as he crossed
the open space between the trees. At
the edge OF the bluff he paused and
glanced about, lifting Ills hat in ges-
ture of farewell. l do not think l
moved or made response, and an in
slant later he was gone.
/ know not how long I stood there
staring into vacancy. haunted by re-
greet. tortured by fear and humiliation.
Slowly all else crystallized into indig-
nation, with a fierce resolve to fight
alone. The sun sank, and all about
me chung the purple twilight, yet l
did not move. He had been unjust,
unfair; his simple code Of the woods
could not be made to apply to such a
situation as this Of mine.
I heard no sound Of warning, yet as
I turned to retrace my way to the
camp below I became suddenly aware
Of the presence Of Cassion.

and girls and men and women might
easily produce on the available land an
average Of SIS each in vegetables and
fruits for their own tables or for sale
in their immediate neighborhood; fresh
and crisp through all the growing
months and wholesomely canned and
preserved for use in winter. This
would add $3.50, 000, 900 to the best
form of food supply of the country
without cost of transportation or stor-
age and without profits of mIddlemen.
The estimate is very conservative, as
has been shown by many experiments.
''In addition to the economic profits,
there would be for the children health
and strength, removal from temptation
to vice, and education of the best type;
and for older persons, rest and recrea-
ton in the open air and the Joy Of
watching things grow.
This might all be attained at COM
paratively little cost by putting into
the public schools for every hundred
children between the ages of nine and
sixteen, one teacher skilled Il garden
ing and paid for all the year One
such teacher could easily direct the
work of 100 children, and of the $50
older persons belonging to the families

munity. Thus 10000 teachers of this
kind would be sufficient for the entire
country. These teachers might easily
be had for an average additional sal
airy of $500 or a total of $20,0 900 900.
There would be some cost for seeds
and some for fertilizers and tools, but
after the first year the cost of these
last two items would be comparatively
little. The proceeds would represent
profits to a greater extent than in any
other kind of production. The miracle
of it is in bringing together idle land
on the n hand and idle children and
tired people on'the other. Alone, Meth
er is productive, but all would be bene-
fitted by the combination even if the
vegetables and fruits produced had no
value; the land by the cultivation, the
children by the hea%Ita-giving, educa-
tional labor, and the older people by
the hours outdoors and the contact
with the soil"
