Look back at your childhood days.

With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children 8 revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli

intellectually Murdered.

Randolph Bourne, an editor of the
New Republic, in an address recently
said American colleges are institutions
in which youths are intellectually
murdered" and the efficiency sys-
TEN upon which universities operated
has resulted "in card-index sys-
TEN Of education impersonal and
materialistic" This indictment is
true as 10 the field, but there are
many institutions that are not SO
those that consult the spirit more
than the intellect, and that construct
purpose and aspiration rather than
devote themselves to learning and
knowledge. The fact is that the end
of education will never be reached or
mankind be substantially advanced
until the spiritual dominates the In
telIectual in the training Of the youth.
Ii is hard for scholars to understand
that the intellectual is materialistie
but it is.-Ohio State Journal.

One Guess as to What Happened to
Phoebe After Her Extremely
Personal Question.

Phoebe was bored. In all the six
long years of her life she had never
spent such IA miserable day. Circum-
stances at last grew too strong for
her, and she cried. She was one of
those who do not often cry, but who,
when they do, make no secret of it. In
short Phoebe nearly lifted the nursery
ceiling off.
Upstairs came Phoebes mother, al
ready dressed in her smartest clothes
ready to have tea with n friend.

she asked.
Phoebe, standing hopelessly in the
middle of the nursery, only howled
the louder, and refused to see any
thing cheerful about life

arms and cuddling the tear stained lit
tie face against her own. the mother
walked over to the looking-gla

thing Different" From the Usual
Run of Egg Mixtures.

lambs kidneys that have been cut

TREAT CALVES TWICE YEARLY
to Die of Blackleg Before Ad-
minsterng Treatment.

(By G. II GLOVER, Colorado Agricu,.
tural College. Fort Collins)
Calves should be vaccinated for
blaekles twice a year, making ii 8
regular chore, and do not wait until
they begin to die before getting ready
The period of ordinary susceptibility
ranges from three months to two and
one-half years. Most OF the vaccine
on the market is reliable and the un
satisfactory results are usually due
to carelesSness on the part of the
farmer in not following directions in
using 1t.
The agricultural college distributes
the government blackleg vaccine free
to farmers of Colorado. Orders fol
vaccine will not be filled promptly
however, unless the applicant states
that he has vaccinating outfit, which
very necessary to administer vac.
cine in this form. A pellet injector
will not do, neither will hypodermie
syringe, without the remainder of the
outfit, for placing the vaccine in solu
ton.

good humor, but this soon passed
away when the Slaughter bill, appro'
priating about $4,000 TO pay the ex-
penses of the commission which pass
ed upon the Caldwell e Drake claim
against the state, was called UP in a
committee of the whole.

Jacob Trieber, Chief Justice f. II. Nc
CuIloch and J. V. Walker, the commits
sions Senator Edmondson offered an
amendment to reduce the amount to
$4,000, and when this was voted down
Senator Ruff offered an amendment to
make it $500 each. but this went the
way of the Edmondson amendment,
and the section was finally adopted.
The next section provided $4,000 for
John Ike Moore, c. W. Mckay and
Steve Carrigan, Jr.. the attorneys rep
resenting the state. Senator Mon
Grief offered an amendment TO cut
down the appropriation for the two
young attorneys to $4,000, but after
lengthy debate was defeated, and the
second adopted as in the bill No eff
fort was made to further reduce the
appropriation, and the bill was finally
passed with only five dissenting votes.
The chair had ruled that it would take
"a votes to carry the bill, but It had

legality of the passage Of the bill.
The Senate heard the argument for
and against the Alexander bill, appro-
priating $4,000 to complete paving
about the capitol and on West Seventh
street The vote on the bill was % TO
7. after Senator Alexander, who was
informed two-thirds vote was neces-
sary to carry it, had changed from
aye to nay. He afterwards stated
that he would contest the ruling that
twothirds vote was necessary, as this
appropriation is for necessary work
on the capitol grounds.

Senator Owens joke amendment to
ire Burnett house bill requiring rail
roads to bury carcasses of animals on
their right of way created more
amusement in the Senate. While Sen
ator Johnson, vino was interested in
the measure, was out of the chamber
the bill was called up and an amend
ment by Caldwell adopted to change
the manner of disposing Of the car
casses TO burning. Later Senator
Johnston called up the bill, not know
ing the amendment had been adopted,
and asked unanimous consent to have
the amendments stricken from it..
There was objection on account of the
last amendment, and the chair ruled
that the only way the joke amend
ment could be stricken out would be
for the house not to concur in it.
