After they had finished butchering,

TOO much cannot be said about the
danger Of fire as the dry season
approaches. Last year Western for
ests suffered millions Of dollars loss
from fire ravages. Hundreds and
thousands Of acres OF grain fields were
destroyed not to mention millions OF
dollars worth Of residences and bust
ness property One Of the principal
dangers TO fields and forests used TO
be throwing cigarettes or cigar stubs
from train windows into the dry grass.
There is now greater danger in the
thousands Of automobiles passing
along the highway from which per-
son flips u cigarette or cigar. Also
camp fires left by persons not fami-
liar with outdoor life. Be careful, put
out fires, see that no waste is left
around your premises, cut the dry
grass next to buildings, clean up the
lily rags around your garage and
lon't take chances.

Needles Long in Use.

Steel needles were found among the
Kaflirs in Africa, and elsewhere, so
that they may have had early aborigi-

The earliest European eyed needles
were of bone and ivory, sometimes OF
bronze In 1870 steel needles were
certainly being made in Nuremberg.
possibly in England also, though until
1868 the raw material came from

Cause of Headache.

By knowing the cause, disease
may often be avoided. This is par
ticularly true of headache. The most
common cause of headache is disor-
dered stomach or constipation, which
may be corrected by taking . few dos
es of Chamherlain's Tablets. Try it.
Many others have obtained permanent
relief by taking these Tablets. They

Opposition of the Brotherhood oil
Railroad Trainmen to restoration
Of railroads to private management is
announced by leaders Of the organiza-
ton. They say the men are pleased
with the present regime. That would
be fine, except that the present re-
gime isn't paying expenses. For the
first quarter Of 1919 the government
has to make up deficit Of more than
176 million dollars II the same con.
ditions continue, and there is no pro-
spect Of sny particular Improvement,
the deficit by the end of the year viii
be 700 millions. This situation exists
in spite Of enormous rises in freight
and passenger rates-rises far In ex-
cess Of anything contemplated under
private management. The increases
have been so large that the manage
ment shrinks from attempting more.
An organization that fails to pay its
way is bound to 40 under, no matter
how pleasing the conditions may be to
its employees. Somebody has to foot
the bill. In this emergency the tax
PAYERS will meet il. But they won't
continue to. No administration could
stand the gaff Of deficit of hun
drcds Of millions in its operation of
business enterprise That is why Con-
gress hasn't taken kindly to the adj
ministration's suggestion of five
year trial Of the present railroad plan.

people generally looked on govern
ment ownership of railroads as inevi-
table. The conveniences and the OPP
portunities for economies were evil

shown that the economies are not to
be compared with the inefficiency that
has developed in the governments at

Az result It will be many years be-
fore government ownership of rail-
roads will become live issue
