When Everjihing Was Ciieap. In 1896 the good Democratic days of Clevelandism meats were cheap as compared with prices of today, but nobody had money to buy the cheap" goods. ! There were millions of idle men hungry men, women and chil- dren and every city boasted of its soup s houses, while to-day there are no idle men and no soup houses. Perhaps there wish to return ire those who to those old Cleveland days! Of course the responsible for new Tariff is increased th. le cost of living! Supply and ability to buy is the solution of high prices, and no one knows this better than your merchants. Pueblo Sunday Opinion. THE DESOLATE HOME. The desolate home no paint on trie nouse, no honey-suckle over tne coor, ana no iirne or . i i i , money Tor trie comiorts wit run that go to make a home, such conditions are far-reaching in their degrading eitects, especial ly upon children. No amount of schooling can dim the memory or change the effect on the boy ; of such a home, for the picture that is burned into that boy's brain lives forever. Is it any wonder a boy raised under tnese conditions hates the bight of a cow,-und even the farm itself, and is going to get away irom it forever at the earliest opportu nity?. Fortunately, in direct contrast to this, there are other farm homes supported by dairy herds paying large profits, where the enthusiasm of the father has spread to the cnildren. "Sur rounding these homes are neatly mowed lawns, with flowers, trees and vines around the painted, well-kept house; and where money is spent for home comfort. Here the question of how to keep boys on the farm never arises. We are asking for a higher civilization, but civilization costs something, and in order for a man to raise himself in the scale of civilization he must increase his earing power. The possibili ties of increased yield and income from rightly conducted dairying is the lesson sought to be im pressed upon the younger dairy- man, ana wnn tins comes uie wonderful stimulation of an inter est in the things which concern the farm. southern cultivation.

One time a little mother' who was o'nly ' -twenty-five years old, began to feel tired all the time. Her appetite had failed her for weeks before the tired feeling TT . 1 1 - . 1 -1 i-ume. rier mree little gn is, once a joy in her life, now be came a burden to her. It was, "Mama," "Mama," all daylong. She never had noticed these ap peals until the tired fe:.ling came. The little mother also had red spots on her cheeks and a slight dry cough. One day, when dragging herself around, I forcing her weary body to work, she felt a sharp but slight pain in her chest, her head grew dizzy and suddenly her mouth filled with blood. The hemorrhage was not severe, but it left her y weuk. The doc or she had ti I' consulted for her cough and ea let ling prescribed ll Iters made of alcohol, .water and tian. This gave her gen false strength for a while, for it check ed out her litte reserve. When the hemorrhage occurred she and all her neighbors knew she had consumption, and the doctor should have known it and told her months before. Now she wrote to the State Board of Health and said: "I am told that consumption in its early stage can be cured by out door lite, continued rest, and plenty of plain, good food. I do not want to die. ' I want to live and raise my childreu eto make them good citizens. Where can I go to get. well?" The reply was: "The great Christian State of Indiana had not yet risen . to the mighty economy of saving the lives of little molhers frdtfi consumption. At present, the oniy place where you can go is your grave. However, the State will care' for your children in" an orphan asylum after you are dead, and then in a few ye :rs a special officer. will be paid to find a home for them. But save your life Neven. That is a cranky idea," for a member on the floor of the Sixty-fifth Assembly said so. ' 'Besides," said he, 4 'it isn't business; the State can't afford it." ; So the little mother died of the? preventable and curable! disea's?, the home was broken up and the children were taken the orphan asylum. to A big fat hog one morning found he had a pain in his belly. He squaled loudly and the farmer came out of his house to see what was the matter. - "He's got the hog cholery," said the hired man. So the farmer telegraphed Secretary Wilson Of the U. S. Agricultural Department, (who I experts m a mmal and plant cis - oases), and the reply was; LitTU, 1 11 b(ii;U VUU el lllclli ll&ill. away. - cure enougn, tne man .r ' ' ' . Q11 An Anrn 4-It came. He said he wTas a D. Va S., and he was, too. He had a Government syringe and a bottle of. Government medicine in his handbag, and he went for the hog. It got well. It wasn't: cranky for the Government to do this, and it 'could afford the ex pense, for the hog could be turn ed into ham, sausage, lard and bacon. Anybody, even a fool, can; see it would be cranky for the State to save the life of a little mother and it could not afford it, either Moral: Be a hog and be wrorth saving. ' The background of this story is laid in Indiana, but its truth applies with equal -force to our own Ssate. For ' while Indiana! is spending $43,500 'annually on.! her public health, worth uarohna is spending the extravagant sum of $12,000 annually on our public ,neaitn.j j BILIOUS? CONSTIPATED? HEADACHE? 1 I FOR SPEEDY RELIEF. NearhJ Everybody TAKES SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR w&tVOU? GOOD ROADS. We quote from a speech made in the house of representatives by William Sulzer, of New York, on good roads, on June 9th, which we would like all of our people who believe in improving the roads to read and study well and then answer the question if the expense of marketing their .1 1 crops over tne roaas we now have does not consume a large portion of them. Mr. Sulzer said in part: 4 'One of the crying needs in this country, especially in the South, and West, is good roads. The establishment -of good roads would in a great measure solve the question of the high price of food and the increasing cost of living. By reducing the cost of transportation, it would enable tne larmer to market his pro duce at a lower price and at a larger profit at the same, time. It would bring communities closer together and in touch with I the centers of population, thcre- I by faciliating the commerce of i :deaa as wel1 as of material pro- ducts. "When the agricultural pro- duction alone of the United States for the past eleven years totals $70,000,000,000, a sum to stagger the imagination, and it cost more . to take this product from the farm to the railroad station . than from such station to the;. American and European markets, and when tne saving in cost of moving this product to agri culture over good highways in stead of bad would have built a million miles of good roads, the incalculable waste of bad roads ; , J - tucii enorm )ua propui uuns as to demand immediated reformation manship; but great as is the loss to 'transportation, mercantile, in dustrial, and farming interests, incomparably greater is the ma terial loss to the women and children and the social life, a matter as important as civiliza tion itself. The truth- of the declaration of Charles Summer fifty years ogo, that the two greatest forces for the advance ment of civilization arie the schoolmaster and good roads, is -n phasized by the experience 6 1' the intervening years and points to the wisdom of a union of the educational, commercial trans pjitation, and industrial inter ests of our country in aggressive action for permanent good
