THE RAIN.

"The rain was falling, falling, fall
ing. Harder and harder it came down,
jumping about on the earth and ON the
flowers and on the people who were
out that day" said Daddy.
"SOme of the Army of Raindrops
and some of the Rain children scam
pered and played on the roofs of
houses; others had games on the tops
of umbrellas, and still others ran
races and had jumping matches with
each other.
But many of the Rain children
were falling down upon old Mother
Ocean, and old Mother Ocean laughed
as they did so.
"'Why are you laughing? asked the
Rain children.
Its such a joke, said old Mother
Ocean.
"'Do tell US what the joke is" they
asked.
you're making me laugh said
Old Mother Ocean, for what you are
doing is such u joke
"'And why, pray tell" asked the
Rain children.
Because said old Mother Ocean.
I don't mind you in the least, and it
is a joke to have the rain come down
right over ones face and all, without
minding it a scrap, not even tiny
scrap.
When you fall down upon people,
even if they have umbrellas over their
heads, you're very apt to get them
wet and they don't like that.
But do you suppose old Mother
Ocean minds getting wet? Not a bit
of it!
I'm wet already, and a little more
or less water makes no difference to
me. You're so naughty at times, COM
ing down when you're not expected,
and playing all sorts of pranks.
"'But old Mother Ocean never
minds how naughty you are or how
many pranks you play She doesn't
mind in the least. She doesn't mind
if you play all over her face, for her
face is wet, anyway, and besides, she
loves a wet face
old Mother Ocean wouldn't have
dry face for anything, Gracious
me, no! She likes to have a wet face

Spirit of God in the Church.

There may be some who ask, "Does
the Holy Spirit fill the church today
and transform the hearts and lives of
men as He did in the days of the
Apostles? Yes He does. when the
people of the churches become more
anxious for the gift of the Spirit than
for outward showing, when the most
earnest prayers are uttered for the
giving of the Spirit of God. In our
devotion to organization, and clubs,
and guilds. we sometimes forget the
need of the Holy Spirit. And yet we
know that souls are not saved by
clubs and societies, and concerts, and
by moving pictures at the evening
services, b-t by the presence of the
Spirit of God in the church, In both
pastor and people.

has to bother to wash her face. 1t is
always washed.
THAT'S a great comfort. At least
I'm sure some people would think SO.
And I keep my face so clean that I
never have to use soap.
"Fancy old Mother Ocean with
cake of soap! Dear me, l don't have
to bother about such a thing.
81 don't have to scrub my face to
get the dirt off because 1 see to it
that my face is always clean.
81 don't mind it because you're

joke that 1 don't mind it, for you Rain
children rather like to be complained
about. You're such a naughty lot
"'Still you do a great deal of good.
The flowers would never grow if you
didn't help, and the grass and the
fields would all dry up without you.
And the little brides would not know
what to do for drinks of cool water if
1t weren't for you. They like to battle
in the nice puddles you leave behind
too.
"'Oh, yes, you do great deal of
good Rain children. But still you
like to be naughty too And you like
to play pranks. That is true, indeed.

but on the threshold of tremendous advances that
and will be made through the efforts of
search work. Every scientist today realizes that
it needs only effort with willing, conscientious, and
untiring workers, and the proper provisions for
carrying efforts of this kind, to discover and
control diseases in way that never was dreamed
of in the ages gone by. Already the nucleus of
corps of men specially skilled in tropical and pre-
ventve medicine has been selected and is await
ing assignment to work soon as the laborator-
les are ready. Almost all the leading institutions
have expressed an interest in the work and de-
sire to send the best of their research workers to
take advantage of the privileges they will be of
fered at this institution for an endeavOr of this
kind
1t is hoped that many scholarships will be de-
veoped in the great educational institutions which
will enable deserving young men of high attain
ments who wish TO make life work of these sub
iects to be sent to the GOrgas Memorial institute
for thorough grounding that will enable them
to carry on throughout their lives in all countries
the purposes that will mean much to the we'll
being and happiness of their respective countries.
1t must be remembered that the dangers of trop-
ical diseases not confined to the Tropics alone,
but on account of world intercourse are constant
ly being carried to the non-tropica countries, en-
dangering their health and well-beng. With this
institute at Panama, associated it will be with
the health department of the republic and that of
the United States, whose officers stationed in
the Tropics through the canal to the northern and
non-tropical countries will be under most careful
supervision and any dangerous element should be
discovered and taken care of at this point. The
splendid chain of hospitals already built and build
ing in Panama, which are the equal of any in the
world, furnish opportunity for the care, isolation,
treatment, and study of any infected persons that
may be found. In view of this practical applica-
tiOn of the work of the institute is felt that all
countries involved will be interested to assist in
the maintenance of the institution when once es-
tabshed.
To my mind one of the important and special
departments of the institute VIII be its library 1t
is our hope to gather here the most complete and
the finest library the subjects of tropical and
preventive medicine in the world.
1t should be mentioned in this connection that
the headquarters of the provisional board have
been established at the Pan American Union un-
der the personal supervision of the director Dr.
L. S. Rowe, who is member of the provisional
board.
1t is easy for one who has been in Panama to
picture this beautiful and useful institution stand
ing upon the shores of the Pacific and surrounded
by the buildings of the new SantO Tomas hospital
and those of the Panama Exposition, with their
beautiful gardens and artistic embellishments and
to realize how splendid will be the ultimate result
of these endeayors perpetuate the life and work

PLAN TO DESTROY CUTWORMS
Pests Work at Night and May Be
Killed With Aid of Paddle
and FIashight.

Cutworms sometimes give consider
able trouble if the nights are cool and
the weather unsettled. good way
to get rid of cutworms in the garden
is to go out in the evening after dark
with a flashlight and paddle and kill
the pests. They may be found on the
surface at work at night. 1t will take
but a short time to get rid of cut
worms in the garden. This is quick
er and more reliable way than using
poisoned mash.

BIG VALUE OF FOREST TREES

Such as Poles and Wood-Pro-

Forest trees grown on the farm add
TO its value and beauty. They supply
material for farm use, such as poles,
posts and cordwood; and they afford
shelter for live stock, and protect
crops and buildings from the hot

APPLY LIMESTONE ANY TIME
Usually Done to Best Advantage IN
Late Summer. When Teams ana
Men Are Available.

Limestone may be applied at any
time when men and teams are avail
able but this usually is done to best
advantage in late summer, fall or early
winter. 1t will seldom, if ever, pay to
nut on less than ton to the acre, and
more should be used if the soil is
very sour. Applications usually are
not made more frequently than once
in four to six years. The usual appli-
cation varies from one to two and one
half tons an acre.

KEEPING DOWN STABLE FLIES
Stack Straw So That 1t Will Not

The numbers of stable flies can be
kept down by caring properly for
stable refuse and by properly stacking
or otherwise disposing of straw in
way that will not make it attractive
as a breeding place for the flies.
Flies cause much distress among ami
mails and at times heavy losses. Con-
troI measures are described in Farm

GIVE HARNESS PROPER CARE
Made of Good Leather and Heavy
Enough, Set Will Last for at
Least Fifteen Years.

Harness made of good leather and
heavy enough for the work required
of it will last for many years if cared
for properly. 1t is more economical tG
buy harness that is too heavy than to
buy that which is too light for the
work. With good care, harness of the
proper weight and quality will last at
least 10 years, and in many cases har-
ness used on the farm has been in
service for p years or longer.

for a single layer, it being realized
that refrigeration is more perfect if

pressure on such tender tissue as
chicken muscle is eliminated as far
as possible. On this account heads
are wrapped in waxed paper and
turned back where they do not rest
against the soft flesh of the breast
or thighs. No longer does the packer
thrust old cocks, brOiling chickens anG
fowls indiscriminately into a big su-
gar barrel, pressing them down in his
effort to pack tightly, and so bruising
the flesh and tearing the skin.

Not a day passes that inspectors
employed by city, state or federal gov
ernment do not condemn food of one
kind or another because it is unfit for
human consumption. Sometimes this
is due to deliberate adulteration, an
intention to defraud the purchasers,
but more often it is the result of inn
proper packing, neglect to consider
temperatures to be encountered in
transporting from point Of origin to
destination, or failure to consider the
time which must necessarily elapse
before the product is likely to reach
the consumers tables.
All this entails not only great loss
In money, likely to be reflected in
prices demanded of the public, but
also it endangers the public health
because occasionally some unworthy
article slips through inspection and is
served as food. Enough food products
spoil every week to form a very i'm
