When yon refer to a certain lady as "an old cat," " a dried-up prime" and "long-neckod giraffe" and then happen to turn around and find thit the lady has been standing} directly behind you and taking it all in. We may be mistaken but it is hard for us to understand how 3 man can be a good Secretary of Agriculture and then turn aroum" and fill the office of Secretary of War satisfactorily. Five hundred h-p^rs are reported to be at large in the V nitd* State*. This situm >u is far more serious than any danger of war with Europt and everv . uergy should be directed towards seeing tha the di?ease is prevented from spreading. Something to be proud of: ? That without us. the population of the United States would be 101,20^.314 instead of 101.208.1115. ElizaU-th City is working to Wat the ears on her county fair pr- p osition but the work that is being done in Washington in this dire lion is still too wt*ak to make itself heard ?-r '??en. A ijirl in New York proposed by wireless. It'? no use. If they want a fellow he might, as well give up striigsliuz because they'r p^ing to get him anyway. TIIE EASIEST JOB IN THE WORLD. Next 10 calling out the stations on an ocean liner or keepinc pieces of the^fust of Mara from bitting the earth, the position cr editing a news-paper is probably the softest cinch there is ? according to the ideas that are held by some persons. The job takes very ]ittl? brains or training and consequently everyone feels that he is u capable of running a paper as any other man. As a result of this attitude there is often considerable indignation expressed when an editor blue-pencils an ar tele that is sent in for publication. The writer of the article haughtily asserts that "lit* doesn't understand what can be meant." lie has received a bettei education and believes that he knows as much about things as the editor. Why should the latter have the nerve to "cut" an articlc that Ho sent in i We have had several cases of this kind lately and the persons whr> sunt in .:??? articles ovi Jowly believe? -according to what we hav heard ? that their intelligence and education have been questioned. We hasten to assure them that such is not the case. Some of the most prominent men in the city have written articles for publication in the past ? and they are men with college educations ? and we have been forced to use the blue pencil because their pieces were not written in the proper style. Although we hate to dispel tho illusion *.hat any person ran run a newspaper, we are forced to gently insist that there are certain rules, certain forms and certain regulations which a newspaper must abide by and of which the layman knows very little. A Burgeon can make a suggestion to a dentist, but he doesn't expect the dentist to act upon his advice; a grocery clerk can make a suggestion to a livery man, but he doesn't feel insulted if his suggestion isn't carried out and a merchant admits that a' pilot, may know a little more about running a boat than he does. The same idea holds true regarding newspaper work. It is not our intention to give the impression taat we do not de sire articles for publication or suggestions, for that is not true. What, we are trying to drive at is that we do not want our friends ro feel insulted when at "imes we believe that it is advisable to rnak* some changes in the articles they have sent in. DOES IT PAY? It may be a tine thing to obtain several thousand dollars for arguing a rase, for being pointed to as a prominent suffragette, as a woman who ran face the world as bravely as any man and as a per son who Mas shown thar woman is man's equal in every wav, but ? DOES IT PAY ? We think not. Imagine taking a woman like tliiir in your arm-, pulling her head down on your shoulder, mussing up h r hair and informing her of the startling fart that she's the "tweetest 'ittle girlie-girl in the whole world, b'ess *oor tweet heart!" If yon chu imagine THAT you've got. more imagination than we lirtve. ROOSEVELT'S UKAOOADOriO. V Colonel Koosevelt is credited with having said the following: "There are only two thing* Wilson is afraid of. I am one, and the, Kaiser w the other." Roosevelt is probably right. Wilson is afraid of him. -He is afraid of him in tho sllhe manner as an engineer of a fast express train ia afraid of a child oo the track, or as a scientist at work on an important experiment is afraid of an idiot roaming around at large >,-? through Jbis laboratory. But that is about as far as Mr. Wilson's fear of the Colonel goes. Instead of boasting that the president is afraid of him, it would lie more to the Colonel's credit if he felt ashamed of the "fear" he ha* aroused. Nothing that, he can do will cause Wilson any great amount, of worry. Ho has "gone up in the air" and "off the handlf*" too many times since ho was ousted out of office to cause much of astir-? no matter what he says or what ho doe*. ? a . * yK-.'/-, When we receive definite permission to organize a military eom fflpj pany in Washington it may prove interesting to see just how many m-' real patriots wo h^vo among our citizenship.

By E. E. R1TTEN HOUSE. Pr?d?t U, Ext?naoa lna?ute *"plIE physically substandard and impaired group in our vast popula | t ion numbers millions. In spite of our progress this greatsbody of . low powered Americans is apparently increasing out of proportion to the increase in the population. T1IIS IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE NATION BE CAUSE IT IS A SELF EVIDENT FACT THAT UPON THE HEALTH ANT> STRENGTH OF THE PEOPLE DEPEND THIS I SAFETY OF THE STATE AND THE PERPETUITY OF- TIIR bace. Neither our freedom nor our race can be protected and developed by I weak limbed, soft muscled, low powered men. It is clearly the duty of j ihe nation to do its utmost to upbuild the power of our peoplo to resist , fatigue and physical deterioration. 1 therefore urge the organization of a national vitality commission composed, say, of fifteen eminent authorities in the various fields of life conservation, to be authorized and financed Ity congress and appointed br the president. 1 /. ?.< . ^ | ITS DUTY WOULD BE TO I N V E ST I G ATtfTH* TREND OF NATIONAL VITALITY AND TO RECOMMEND TO THE* PUBLIC THE EDUCATIONAL AND OTHER METHODS BEST ADAPTED TO REDUCING THE EXCES SIVE WASTE OF VITALITY NOW GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY. Our health departments and our schools should be used to teach in dividual hygiene as well as public hygiene. Our excessive individualism, our time saving mania, our increase in wealth, have bred extravagance and overindulgence in both work and play and produced a nervous strain that is responsible for our large army of neurasthenics and has contributed greatly to the vast low powered ^roup in our population. American Repyblics Must Stand Together Against Foreign Foe By JOHN BARRETT, Director General of the Pan- American Union THERE is no doubt whatever that if any foreign foe ever succeeded in extending its dominion over a considerable part of Latin Amer ica and if the nations of Latin Amerier should become dependen cies it would inevitablv foUew^that the United States would meet the <arac fate, BECAUSk NO FOREIGN FQE COULD ACHIEVE SUCH A RESULT EXCEPT BY A VICTORY OVER THE UNIT ED STATES. All Pan-America will rejoice if the scientific conference shall give the inspiration, though it might not be able to write the act, because it ig nni .1 political gathering, for the actual evolution of the Monroe doc trine into a pan-American* doctrine which will mean that the Latin Arneriean republics, in the event the United State* were attacked by a foreign foe, woxild, with all their physical and moral force, stand for the protection and sovereignty of the United States just as quickly as the United States under corresponding circumstances would stand for their sovereignty and integrity. WITH A PAN-AMERICAN DOCTRINE RECOONIZED AND APPROVEO BY ALL THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS THERE W<?ULD BE NO DANGER FOR THE SOVEREIGNTY AND PEACE OF PAN-AMERICA, AND THE GREATEST STEP POSSIBLE FOR PRACTICAL PEACE AMONQ ALL N K TIONS WOULD BE ACHIEVED.

Art im Ala Need ttter^lee to JCeop Them In Proper Condition. Hour to k??p tba itaUlon In prime coDdltlou^at a minimum coat daring the winter season Is a question fre qoentty iiked. aaja tba Kanaoa Farm er. Many valuable rtalUona are aert oualy Injured during thla season or the /ear from poor care and Improper feeding. It la argued by eome that they cannot afford to feed tbe atalUon much during tbe winter becauaa It I* a aaaaou of no income. Therefore tbe borac la atarred ?nd neglected. It would be rnuco better for the horse breeding Industry of tUia country if all Aa a rule. the artrtxt Belgian home will remain In good Oeah un der condition* where the ordinary bone would ret thin. Belgians are eaay keepers because they are rath er ahort of length and leg. It will usually be noticed that a horae of moderately ahort leg and body will keep In better fleeh on ahort rations than will one of the looeely built, rangy type. The. Belgian stall ion shown is a fine type of the breed. Cough# that "haeg on" after U vripp? exhaust the strength and lower (ft* viui resistance. V. O I'revo, Bedford.

H??w;w4 JV& 4 stallions vere worked. The feeding of the etalllon that works la an eaa> problem In comparison with feeding one kept In Idleness. To be a success aa a breeding animal the stallion must be In the best* of con dition. and be cannot be so kept with t proper exercise. When kept in the x stall he cannot get enough exer cise. and even If a small yard la pro vided It la eeldom that the stallion will exer>-lse enough for his own good. There Is always more or less danger that a horse will Injure himself In at tempting to exercise In the small yard as a result of the short turns that must necessarily be made. Breaking the horse to work In the burn ess Is the almplest way out. This can easily be done, provided the man who works him understands stallions and knows how to give them the proper care while be ing handled In this way. The stallion should be broken for hsrness before be Is two years old. Few are broken, ho+fever, at this age, and those who work stallions must of necessity break tbem after they have reached maturity. It Is not a specially hard job to break a stallion to harness. They are seldom a/rald. It must al waya be remembered that the stallion, even though big, Is usually soffnind must be gradually toughened to work. He should be given only a few hours of light work each day for several months. During the season when not used for breeding purposes, the stallion, after becoming hardened to it, can do a full day's work and at least half a day's work during the breeding season. A successful horseman of Kansas who alwaya works his stallions n*es a Jock ey stick on them when they are In the harness, une end being fastened to the bit of the horse and the other to the hames of the harness on the other horse. The stallion at work ahould be fed the same as other work horses are fed. They should not have too mcch hay. The amount M grain to feed will vary, of course, with the work the horse is doing and big general condition. He should not be permitted to run down In flesh, but corn or Kaffir ahould not be used as the exclusive grain ration. Bran Is always a valuable supplement to these grains, and It is Always well to feed some oats If t^gj/areviot too expenxlve. Treatment For Thrush. Thrush Is caused by flltb and wet in the stable. Treatment: Cut awfty toose or onderruo horn of the frog, and then perfectly dense, including the cleft of the frog, says the Farm journal. Then swab with a 1.000 solution of oorroslve ?ubllmate. and when dry pack the cleft and on each ?p* of It with a mixture of e^na'l parts of calomel, srib nitrate of bismuth and bbrte seta, held in place by oaktftn or absorbent eotton packed on top Renew rbe dressing once dslly. Keep the stall clean and dry, and bed with shavings br sawdust. Worte'OT abundantly exercise the bofse every dsy. Feed lightly Use the '-or rosire sublimate solution ? ignis If re covery is sJow.
