The Manufacturers Record,
published at Baltimore, believes
that the editor of a newspaper
should be more than sounding
horn to carry what the big in
terests want to go to the public i?
Upon being criticised for point
ing out the dangers that exists
in this country to this country
at this time instead of en-
phasiqing the bright things the
Manufacturers Record explains
by saying:
when a man sees that his
family has unconsciously be-
come surrounded by rattlesaak-
es, he cannot stop to tell them of
the beauty and glory of the Sc
emery and the loneliness of the
flowers beneath their feet. The
scenery in all it's glorious magn-
ificence may surround them; the
heavens may be full of the
brightness of the sun; the air
may be full Of the perfume of
flowers, but while deadly rattle
snakes menace a mans family
he feels that his first and sup
RENE duty is to save his family
by them of the impending dang
er or by killing the rattlesnakes.
The man who spent his time in
telling of the scenery and
sweetness of the flowers while
the rattlesnakes were crawling
closer and closer to the very
heart of his family would not
be a wise guide or protector for
them"

PEOPLE MUST HAVE TURKEY
Always Willing to Pay High Prices for
the Chief Feature Of Thanks
giving Dinner.

New York spends about S3,000,0G0
on its Thanksgiving dinner with tur
key as its chief feature. The deal
ers say if it cost dollar per pound
they would sell just about as many
Turkey on Thanksgiving is traditional
in America, and the farmer knows it,
He fattens his best birds and saves
them for this day. Without realizing
it the farmer thus corners the mar
ket until the price gets high enough
Then he sells. But the people will
have their turkey and this year the
dealers expect greater demand than
ever, although they are selecting
smaller birds in order to meet it.
The great part of the city's turkey
supply comes from the Middle West
Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Mary
land and Kentucky send large consign-
ments. This year turkey specials"
are run from ST. Louis. A year ago
one of these trains brought $4,000
birds for the local market.
Vast numbers of turkeys are raised
In Missouri and Texas The product
of the latter state. where the birds
feed on sage and sunflower seeds, is
highly regarded According to reports,
however. the output of both of these
sections las been effectively cornered
this year.

ANOTHER VICTORY

For more than three years the
u. S. Public Health Service has
had a colony of lepers in Hawaii
under treatment by the use of
Chaulmoogra oil and now re-
ports that the treatment is a sue
cess, more than seventy lepers
having been cured, or at least so
nearly cured that no evidence of
the disease can be found even by
a microscopic test of the skin
blood and tissue.
1t is impossible for us in this
clamet to realize in even a small
degree what this means to the
great body of lepers now living
in isolated canlps, banished from
all mankind, and until now with
out a single ray Of hope.
Leprosy and Syphilis are the
twin scourges which are now be-
ing controlled. These diseases
are very similar in the way they
destroy the body and in the gem
eraI course they run. Both are

These hangers will solve the difficult

canvas hangers extremely unsatisfac'

started towards Mexico. Only the
