The waste Of war Il bad enough at

to justify nation in exposing the lives

The soldier should remember that he
owes his country the full strength Of a

both for him and for his country to
come back from this war wounded By
an adversary blow than to come back
unscathed by our enemy but marked
with the inefaceabie stain Of disease.
The young American who makes
up our armies Is wholesofne-mInded,

that he knows how to use knowledge.

FEW SITTING IDLY BY.

OF all the reasons that may be urged
against the use of alcoholic drinks
Especially during the wary the two
that must appeal to physicians with
irresistible force, are (1) the action Of
alcohol in lessening all forms Of eff
cheney, physical, intellectual and moral,
and (2) the intimate connection al
ways found between drinking, prostitu-
ton and the spread Of venereal dis
eases. The evidence against alcohol
on these accounts is so overwhelming,
so well-established and so generally
known that 1t does not seem necessary
to 60 into details. Only the other day
an experiment was mentioned in the
Journal which showed that 80 grams
Of brandy caused a depreciation in the
craftsmanship Of expert shots of 80
per cent in rapid firing and so per
cent in slow firing. What sense is
there in training men to become eff
cient and then sit idly by and let the
hard-won efficiency be taken away by

freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot

will positively rid ones feet Of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
oess or the danger Of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound.

does not inflame or even irritate the

GREAT GAINS TO LABOR.

Conditions in Shreveport, La, a dry
city, are thus described by Mr.. Thomas
]. Greer, president Of the Louisiana
Federation of Labor:
"Since the influence of the liquor
traffic has been removed from union
politics we have made tremendous
gains in Shreveport since the town
went dry in 1908. Membership in Ia
Dor unions has increased from 1900
to 800, and home-Owners among
union men have increased 40 per cent.
The carpenters union has increased its
membership from IS to 1915.
When Shreveport was wet the paint
ers' union had 35 members, working ten
hours a day for $2.75. Today the paint
ers' union has 145 members, eight
hours day and IS cents an hour, or
a scale Of $40 per day. BARRIERS have
shortened their hours Of labor, raised
wages continuously and have 100 per
cent organization. A brewery under
the wet regime employed six non-union
brewery workers; today an ice fac
tory at the same location employs 40
union ice workers."

Prof William II. Hornaday, the
noted animal preceptor, cites this In
stance Of ape sagacity:
II once became quite chummy with
an unframed, Gagged, menagerie orang>
Outang by the name Of DOhOng. De
was son of the jungle and intense
ly concerned in matters that came into
his narrow life. All that he learned
outside of his inherited instincts he
learned himself. His cage contained
a number Of horizontal bars attached
to brackets on which he took cOnsid-
cradle solemn exercise. One day he
concluded that the bars ought to come
down. Bracing his feet against the
solid wall of the cage, he pulled every
bar from its fastening and flung 1t on
the floor. Larger bars were substi-
tuted, which the ape vainly tried to
remove. After straining his back In
this futile effort, he walked up and
down in his cage and was apparently
intently studying the situation. Event
ually he procured the crOssbar Of his
trapeze and using 1t for a lever, he
not only pried every horizontal bar
from it's brackets, but he likewise
pried the iron bars Of his cage apart
so that he could stick his head
through the opening and satisfy his
curiosity regarding his neighbor In the
adjoining cage"

TO FIGHT ANIMAL DISEASE
Department Of Agriculture Will Wage
Battle on Hog Cholera and Dreaded
Cattle Tick.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture,
A more intensive fight than ever be-
fore will be waged by the United
States department Of agriculture on
hog cholera and the cattle tick with
funds made available by the recently
enacted food production bill. Between
them, hog cholera and cattle-tick fe-
yer cause annual losses of approx
mately $6O,OOO.OOO. In an effort to
stem these losses and go, in effect, to
increase meat production, the depart
ment will put greatly enlarged staff
of specialists to work In the field with
in the next few weeks. Tick eradica-
ton, which is essential to building up
cattle raising in sections of the South
now infested by ticks, will be extend
ed in all affected states. Twenty-Five
veterinarians will be added to the de-
partment's staff to carry on the work
against hog cholera throughout the
hog-raising sections Of the country.

determination Ia Fall.
determination of boil weevilS in the
fall has not been adopted as widely
as 1t should be, but individual in
stances everywhere show its value. In
one of many experiments performed
by the bureau of entomolOgy-this
one in Calhoun county, Texas-the
stalks growing on 40 acres of land
were destroyed early in October.
Careful records kept during the fall
each season showed that this work had
Increased the production more than
One-fOurth of bale per acre over the
crop on a check area nearby where
such work was not done. Circum-
stances surrounding the experiments
show that the advantage was probably
considerably greater than indicated by
the estimated increased yield, which is
very conservative.
Proper Time for Work.
No definite rule can be laid down as
to the proper time for destroying
weevils In this way. In general, the
proper time is whenever the weevils
have reached such numbers as to in
fest practically all of the squares that
are being set. This may occur much
earlier In some seasons than In others.
Fall destruction as late as November
will accomplish much, but several
times the number of weevils can be
destroyed if the work is done In Oc-
tOber. The rule should be to destroy
infested plants at the earliest possible
date in the fall. 1t is much better to
sacrifice a small quantity of cotton
than to defer the operation. The loss
will more than be made good by an
Increase in the next crop.
In regions where the loss of organic
matter from the burning of stalks is
important, 1t is advisable, the special
list says, to cut the stalks by means
Of the machine usually employed for
that purpose and bury them deeply as
possible. This will cause the destruc-
ton Of many of the immature stages
of the weevil in the squares and bOlls.
Other fall measures against the
weevils include blowing under infest-
ed squares, grazing cotton fields with
cattle. sheep, or goats. and prevent
Ing the growth of volunteer cotton or
sprouts from the old stumps.

g Notes q
CATHOLICS AND PROHIBITION.

The liquor publicity bureaus are
making much Of the fact that Cardinal
Gibbons is opposed to prohibition
They would have the public forget the
many stalwart champions of the anti
liquor cause In the Roman Catholic
church. They would like to blot from
Its memory the words of Archbishop
Ireland: Were God to place In my
hand a wand with which to dispel the
evil of intemperance, / would strike
the door of every saloon, every distil-
lery, every brewery, until the accursed
traffic should be wiped from the face
of the EARTH" They would erase from
the remembrance of the communi-
cants of that church the scathing in
dictment of Archbishop John J. Keane ::
IF could cause the earth to open and
swallow up every saloon in the world,
I would feel that was comforting up
on humanity blessing. The saloon is
bad for the home, the church and the
country. 1t has no redeeming feature"
They would have good Catholics for
get the advice of Cardinal Manning: :
"The drink traffic is public, perma-
nent and ubiquitous agency of degra-
dalton. The drink trade is our shame,
scandal and sin, and unless brought
under by the will of the people, it will
be our downfall. Do you know how
you can help to break up this unholy
alliance between government and the
greatest fraud of the age? Vote

If every cotton grower having
weevil-infested fields would push cot
ton picking to early completion and
then destroy the cotton plants before
the boil weevil hibernate, the destruc-
tive work Of the insect the following
year would be largely minimized.
Hand In hand with early fall de-
struction Of weevils goes the practice
of planting cover crops after the
stalks have been removed. Such crops
not only improve the soil but furnish
feed of kind Southern farmers now
need. Thus the proper step to take
in controlling the boil weevil will in
crease the production of forage and
assist greatly In the production Of
meat.
At Mercy Of Planter.
"Weevils are at the mercy Of the
planter In the fall as they are at no
other time" says Farmers Bulletin

Gently issued by the department. IF

ticable to burn the stalks they can
still be uprooted, thereby destroying
the greenwood supply of the weevils
and preventing the further increase Of
the insects. The cotton then can be
picked as the supply of labor permits
Fall destruction of weevils insures
crop for the following season."
This measure of control, it is point
ed out, cannot be applied alike to all
infested regions. 1t is the greatest
Importance in localities of the extreme
South where the bOllweevil problem is
most serious. Farther north the cold
err winters make this step less impor-
tant. As the practicability of fall de-
depends upon the supply of
labor available and upon the size of
the paintings, 1t is measure partic-
ularly applicable to the southern and
parts of the cotton belt
