Two great organizations-the Ben
evolent and Protective Order of Elks
and~the Knights of Columbus-are
raising million dollars each to assist
in carrying on the war. The Elks
have decided that their million will be
spent in providing base hospitals be-
hind the firing lines, in taking care of
families of soldiers and in aiding dis
abled men to learn new trade or
profession. Thus, this fund will be
applied directly to the men in action
and their families. The base hospitals
will meet the immediate needs of our
fighting men, while the relief of the
families left behind and the teaching
of new trades will help wondrously
III relieving the wounds of war. The
Knights of Columbus have chosen to
spend their million upon the soldiers
before they go to the front. 1t will
be used to provide recreation centers
for the men in training camps and
thus help to prepare them for the
hard and dangerous tasks before
them.-Tampa Tribune.

The Times Union suggests that all
the men registered and who, tho not
called in this draft, are liable to be
selected in the next, put in their spare
time training. Good advice, and like
other good advice, not likely to be
needed. There is no reason why the
young men of this city who are liable
to the next draft, and who have no
other work to do at night, should not
put in two evenings every week drill
ing on the public square. The prac-
tice would do them good now and
make their work easier if they were
called later. But it is very unlikely
that they will do anything of the
sort.

guard. He was taken out of the
training camp, where he had not even
completed his course as a second lieu
tenant and put over the heads of other
officers into the command of a com
pany. There was evidently gross
favoritism somewhere, and we are
afraid the war department connived
at it. 1t will be bad thing for the
service if it has done so. It's no ex-
cuse to say he had the recommends
ton of the adjutant general of the
state. It's a well known fact that the
adjutant general of Florida doesn't
know enough about military affairs to
command a company, and that the
regular army officers do not pay any
more attention to him than is abso-
lutely necessary; also, he would prob
ably recommend company cook for
a captaincy if Cats told him to do so.
It's no surprise TO US that Cats would
recommend for position or put in a
position any relative or friend or
political henchman. That's what we
expected him to do. But it's not for
the good of the service that the war
department helps him to pull off such
stunt. We remarked, the other
day, that the army and navy depart
ments were sternly set against fav-
oritism and nepotism, but we may
have spoken little too soon.

TEMPERANCE NOTES

tan Temperance Union.)
PUBLIC acknowledgements VIEW.


A Chicago teacher, writing to the
Illinois Issue, calls attention to one
feature of the liquor evil which "edi-
tors and doctors and reformers over
look" namely, the 'immeasurable
waste in teachers efforts caused by al
coholism." In regions, she says,
"where saloons have always been
abundant and conditions of living
usually because of alcoholism-are
bad, at least one-third of the aver
age teachers time is required to
merely hold in check and partially de-
velop the children of alcoholics. Most
of the abnormal and subnormal chill
dren have alcoholism in their families,
and the sins of the father are visited
upon the children even unto the third
and fourth generation.
"These children have one grave fault
in common They cannot concentrate
the mind long on any one subject-not
long enough to follow the thought of
the lesson. In some this takes the
form of irritation or rebellion, and in
others there is the stupor, the dead
ness. that defies the most interesting
lesson and the most magnetic teacher.
''Of course this waste is a loss to
the normal pupils, whose teaching
must lag while these weak ones are
given special help. If we could elimi-
nate wholly the effects of alcoholism,
which would require more than one
generation, elementary education
might easily be accomplished in seven
or even six years instead of eight
years, as at present required.
High school and college teachers
would probably not agree with this
statement, for the simple reason that
the descendants of alcoholics seldom
get to high school or college"

uNFrrNEss DUE TO ALCOHOL.

According to Lieut.. W. Randolph
Angel, o. s. N. R. F., examining Off
Ger of the Boston recruiting station.
nearly every man failing to pass the
physical examinations on application
for enlistment in the United States
Marine corps is refused partly because
of conditions directly traceable to the
use of alcohol before maturity. The
adverse effect of"even the moderate
use Of intoxicants are revealed In the
examinations, and Lieutenant Angel
declares that the conditions which
make such state Of affairs should be
abolished at once.

MANURE AS A TOP DRESSING
It Greatly Stimulates Growth Of Wheat
and Assists to Prevent
Winter KILLING.

(By NJ. r. MILLER Missouri College of
Agrteulturs.)
Every year secs q greater number OF
Missouri farmers using manure as q
top dressing on wheat. There is con-
siderable evidence to show where
wheat is grown In . rotation, manure
can very often be applied to better adj
vantage as to q top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal advan-
tages of this practice. The first one Is
that it greatly stimulates the growth
Of the wheat and helps to prevent win
ter killing with a resulting increase In
yield. The second one is that since
clover and grass are usually sOWn with
the wheat and since manure aids very
greatly in securing q stand Of these
crops when used as q top dressing with
the wheat, this alone may be sufficient
reason for Its application. AS q mat
ter Of fact the top dressing Of wheat
with manure almost insures a stand OF
clover or grass on land which is at all
suited to these crops. The land may
be too sour or too wet to grow clover.
Much land in Missouri is too our If
it is only slightly sour, the manure
greatly aids in getting a clover stand.
If it is very sour, lime is usually es-
sential in addition.

RIGHT TREATMENT FOR ROUP
Use Good Sharp Ak and Then Bury
Carcasses Deeply or Burn Them
Several Forms Of Ai!mcnt.

The best way to cure roup among
poultry is to use q good sharp ax and
then bury the c~arcasses deeply or burn
them. Eoup may take several forms,
appearing ut first like a severe cold.
Use enough perlnanganate of potash
in the drinking water to give 1t Il rich
wine color. Disinfect the yards and
houses with q 5 per cent solution OF
carbolic acid.
Individual treatment should be the
same as for colds or catarrh. Press
the nostrils together with the thumb
and foreflnger and apply pressure be
tween the nostrils and eyes to loosen
the discharge. Then plunge the head
Into q two per cent solution Of per.
manganate OF potash for 20 to 30 Sec
onds. This treatment should be con.
tinued twice daily until all symptoms
disappear.
