lovely, interesting bits that come to

Dorothy nodded agreement. She

God has called certain persons to the
state of wealth not through their own
deserts, or for their own advantage,
but in order that they might render
special services to Him and to human
society. Their position has not been
given to them to excise them to AFRO
gance and contempt of others, nor is
their wealth given to them in absolute
irresponsible ownership to be boarded
up or squandered as caprice and ex-
travagance may dictate. They are
stewards and trustees rather than own.
ers of their wealth. They are account
able to God and man for the proper
and unselfish use of the advantages
they have received.

PARENTS WHO RESORT TO EVIL
AND sUPERsTlTIoUs PRAc-
TICES.

The number of healers and practi-
TONERS who, with little or no medical
training, treat sick people, seems to
be increasing throughout the coun-

Attorney Woolwine of Los Angeles
discusses this evil, and the conse-
quences to which it leads, in letter
recently addressed to a Los Angeles
County Medical Society. l..
ut is we'll known to members of
your profession" he writes, chat
parents suffering the fanaticism and
delusions resulting from the teach
lngs of certain cults allow their inno-
cent babes and children to languish
and die of malignant and contagious
diseases, feloniously refusing and
neglecting to provide that medical
aid and attendance required by the
statutes of the State of California.
The number of suffering, trusting and
helpless infants who have been robbed
of life and allowed to die under such
circumstances since this peculiarly
dangerous and inhuman fanaticism
has been promulgated, has undoubted-
ly reached appalling proportions in
the United States. The laws of this
state make it felony for parent to
wilfully omit, without lawful excuse,
to furnish necessary medical attend
ance for his or her child"
The public, the San Francisco
Monitor comments, is tolerant of
many things but it should not permit
superstitious and anti-scientific par

WHERE ARE THE MEDALS FOR
FARMERS WIVES.

We are mourning nationally the
fact that farmers sons are lured by
the city, and wondering what can be
done to hold them on the soil. Mean
while it is well to take account of
most important factor in the argicul-
tural situation-the farmers wife.
The American Lumberman tells of an
investigation made by an enterpris-
ing Indiana plumbing house that pro-
duced some interesting facts. Several
letters of inquiry were sent to 1000
farmers wives, and these letters were
supplemented by interviews. Here
are some of the facts obtained from
this group:
l. The women work on an average
FIFTEEN hours a day in summer,
twelve in winter.
2. In 81 per cent of the homes wa
ter is carried into the kitchen by hand
3. Outdoor toilets. 80 per cent.
4. No bathtubs, "a per cent.
5. No electric light or power, 81
per cent
BUT
6. Automobiles, So per cent.
Maybe the auto makes up for the
rest of it, but we'd like to ask the
farmers wife il she thinks SO. And
while we are discussing the farmers
sons, what becomes of the farmers
daughters?

field and who looks as much like him
as one pea looks like another. He not
only looks exactly like him but talks
like him and acts like him. Once Gar
field went to visit Grant when the lat
ter was living in Paulding and while
there dropped in at the barbershop
patronized by his brother for a shave.
The barber stared at him when he en-
tered the shop and in astonishment
said: 81 thought l shaved you this
morning.
"Sh, ~ uOCoh loOh lthe

in an abstracted sort Of way, wonder
ing how it had got into his mind that
he had shaved this customer few
hours before. When the job was done
the customer got out OF the chair and
with casual remark: "Charge this to
Snow" started putting on his tie and
collar. But when the barber picked UP
his blotter to make the entry, he no
ticed charge for shaving Snow there
and he demanded an explanation. The
Mt. Vernon Snow burst out laughing,
explained who he was and paid his
bill.
