Harvesting Wild Oats.
By DR.. j. W. Holland.

He looked up from the pillow of {
hospital bed, where his wan ant
bleached-out face made pathetic
figure.
Said l, Il hope, my boy, that you
are getting better"
Said he, 81 am afraid not"
Said 1, "What is the trouble ~
Said he, 81 am harvesting the wild
oats that | sowed ten years ago"
l tried to encourage him, but de
spair was slowly settling down over
his broken spirit and slowly dying
body. l babe him goodbye with a
sick sensation in my heart.
/ wish l could stand every Ameri-
can youth by that bed, and let him
hear the click of the sickle of Des-
tiny cutting through the grain OF
that young fellows life.
l wish that every young girl, grow
ing into wonlanhood, might pause
there and see how the laws of GOO
treat the law-breaker.
l wish that every father and moth
er could have heard the wall of de-
spair that quivered in the voice OF
that doomed youth.
1t is not pleasant picture, I'll adj
nit But it is true picture. Centu
ries ago the Great Teacher said
Whatsoever man soweth that shall
he also reap" 1t is still true.
Everywhere, whoever sows discord
will reap strife. Hate will bring
forth wars. Suspicion will fill the
soul with reptiles.
The other side of the truth is more
alluring.
They who sow their home with the
kind words of appreciation and love
will reap heaven on earth.
He that sows the spirit of a kind
neighbor will reap his reward of mu-
tual kindness. He that sows social
up-lift will get pulled up himself.
Whoever sows the seed of indus
trious and frugal hours will reap the
harvest of abundance and security.
The school boy or girl who sows
patient study will harvest a trained

Backache Is DiscOur-
aging
But Not So Bad If You Know How to
Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys and calls for prompt treat
ment. The best recommended remedy
is Doan's Pills. Profit by this nearby
residents experience:
J. S. McCorkell, Wabasso, says: 81
was troubled great deal with back
ache and every time stopped, sharp
pains darted into the small of my
back. The muscles across my kidneys
were drawn and sore and l felt tired
and all worn out. My kidneys did not
act often enough and the secretion
burned intensely in passage. l start
ed using Doan's Pills and one box
gave me much relief. 1 was rid of
the backache and my kidneys acted
regularly again. Doan's cured me
of kidney trouble and made me feel
better all over"

Musical Comedy,

Albany Knickerbocker Press: They
have jazzed ''Humoresque' and re
made the Melody in F for the wall
of the sobbing saxaphone; they have
recreated the great dramas of the
world in shadows and PAPER mache
until they have lost the substance of
reality and Quasimodo is no longer
the finest hewn grotesque in the his
tory of literature but a screen joke.
Now they would have ''Peter Pan"

girl gobs, perhaps to shrill ooh, the
Girls Are Lovely by the Sea Shore
or some other jazz song with high
kicks and stamps for punctuation to
supply the pond illusion and the owl

ARMY GIVES FISH.

"Fish Day" comes twice a week in
Minneapolis now.
Under arrangements completed by
The Salvation Army tons Of fish are
distributed Wednesday and Friday
mornings without charge to the poor
of the city.
The fish, chiefly carp, are seined
from nearby lakes by the Hennepin
County Sportsmen's Association in a
move to make the county safe for
game fish,.
Several hundred men, women and
children thronged the street in front
of The Salvation Army Industrial!
Home at the first distribution last
week The fish, some weighing as
much as 20 pounds, furnished many
of the families with meals for two
days.

Good Care, Sanitation
Will Curb "Hog Flu" .

What is commonly called hog flu"
is taking toll in scattered herds over
Minnesota, according to county agent
reports received at University Farm.
This is a very contagious disease
of hogs" says DR.. w. A. Billings, vet :.
ellnarian with the agricultural extern
sion service of the university. 'It is
especially fatal to the younger pigs.
The period of incubation, from the
time the pigs are infected until symp-
toms of the disease are apparent. is
short, usually about ~ hours.
GAS rule a large number of pigs
become sick at once, or within a short
time. One instance is given when as
many as 200 pigs became sick within
ten days. Animals more than one
year old are said to be relatively i'm
mune The symptoms are complete
loss of appetite, high temperature,
rapid breathing, coughing and redden-
ed eyes which may show discharge.
Hog flu has rather low death
rate in spite of the high temperature
it causes. When a pig dies post
norton examination usually shows q
pneumonia. The treatment is very
simple Reduce rations, house the
animals carefully in warm, clean and
we'll bedded quarters, and provide
plenty of fresh air and lots of water.
$50 far as known, the vaccines have
not been entirely successful. Coco
care and sanitation are most essen
tial."

Paper Makers Complain
of Scarcity of Rags

IL seems like barking back 20 early
days that the manufacturers OF high
grade papers have called on Secretary
Hoover OF the Commerce department
10 ala them In procuring reserve
stock OF rags. Some OF the mills had
less than weeks supply on hand
when they made the request, and
none OF them had any considerable
stock.
In the days following the Revolu-
ton paper manufacturers advertised
in the newspapers urging housewives
to save their rags that they might
have a sufficient supply for their use.
This was before the discovery that
paper could be made from wood pulp.
says the Brockton Times.
In the early days OF paper making
tombs were rifled and the wrapplngs of
mummles were converted into paper.
For many years most Of the rag
stock for paper mills had come from
across the sea. Smyrna was the great
shipping point, and thousands OF tons
were sent here every year.
Due perhaps 10 the prevailing pow
erty, Europe Is sending less than half
the usual amount OF rags. Probably
the people are still wearing them.
