WASHINGTON, Chief Justice. White
of the United States Supreme
:ourt has appointed a commit
tee to revise the rules of equity prac
tice in the United Stat&IcourS. -The
committee is composed of himself. Jusy
tices Lurton and Van Deventer. the
only members of the Supreme court
who have had experience on the bench
ot the United States circuit court. Jus
tice Lurton since 1893 and Justice Van
Deventer since 1903.
' This move is the initial step in a
great reform In federal court pro
cedure, which has long teen advocated
by-Justice White, who has often criti
cised the antiquated practice on -the
chancery side of these courts.
The present rules were promulgated.
In" 1842. They are adapted in their en
tirety from the ancient rule3 of the
high court of chancery of England,
arid are cumbersome and complicated
In the highest degree, lending them
selves to delays and embarrassing liti
gation rather than expediting causes.

THE fate of the battleship Texas,
once the pride of the United States
nary, recently sent to the bottom of
Tangier sound, in Chesapeake bay, by
the guns of her sister ships, as an ex
periment "in naval science, has called
public attention to the prodigious size
of the nation's naval scrap heap.
Not only Is the government spending
more than $66,000,000 on its . new.
Oreadnaughts now under construction,
but it is throwing away annually mil
lions of dollars' worth of battleship
construction of the older type, now
considered out of date.
On the naval junk pile In the last
ten years 36 vessels have been
dumped. . They cost the government
to build, or to buy ready built, $9,803.

The ships which have been destroy

the numler of abandoned naval ves
sels which total 36 In the past ten
years. The greater part are those

as a public asset, would be of no value
In war and would never again be used
for that'purpose. They are in use as
training vessels for the naval re
serves of various states. The monitor
Prosecution a Check to Mail Frauds
THE bleuths of the postofllce de

The world seems to be growing bet

formerly Indulged in so many get-rich-quick
schemes seems-to be less
active than in days gone by, and the
postofflce officials declare that it vis
all due to the vigorous measures
taken by the present administration
to stamp out public fraud and protect
the unwary.
"Months have passed since we have

Maine Uncovering
ARMY engineer officers at Havana
have estimated that It would be
at least two months after work be
gan on pumping out the water in the
coffer dam about the battleship Maine
In Havana harbor before an expert
opinion could .be formed as to wheth
er it was an inside or outside ex
plosion that sank the vessel.
With the water over the wreck
lowered four feet, the top and sides
of the wreck's afterdeck are in view.
It has been expected that when the
water was lowered enough to expose
the top deck this would probably
loom up as a bank of mud as the wa
ter in the harbor Is very muddy and
the vessel has been "collecting" de
posits for 13 years. When work on
the upper deck is completed there
will be more pumping and more mud
until the water Is lowered to the
deck below. Inspection of this deck
will then be undertaken without un
v due haste. It is believed that the

for Federal Courts
which the United States court rules of
equity practice were adapted have
long since been displaced in the Eng
lish practice, and in almost every
minor jurisdiction in the United Statea
where they were in force in the last
century have been abandoned for code
procedure or amended in accord with
modem ideas and practice.
Members of the bar in commenting
oil the proposed reform without excep
tion commend it. They say that the
rule3 as they now staa-1, if rigidly en
forced, would involve litigation in an
endless snarl, and that the presen
rules have been tolerable only by rea
son of the disregard of many of them
which have been found impractical of
enforcement in modern procedure. But
in such cases they say that special or
t'ers and short cuts in suits are made
to fit the individual case and thus the
whole procedure is "up in the air" or
in the "discretion" of the court," which
is in many cases just as bad.
No intimation wa3 given by Chief
Justice White or either member of the
committee just what form the revision
will take, but It is agreed that it will
look to the expediting of causes, and
the relief of litigants from the almost
prohibitive expense of the present
equity procedure.
The committee is expected to repor
its recommendations to the Supreme
court early in the fall term.
Naval Scrap Heap
Anmhitrite. destined for use at St
Louis, is a type of these ships which
are useful only in providing possible
future recruits for the service.
The Texas was the first modern bat
tlshin constructed for the navy. It
wa3 surpassed in s'peed by the Iowa
the Oregon, and other vessels in the
battle off Santiago, but its name was
written as large as any on the page
which records that day's fighting.
And it will now be but a few years
according to the inexorable rules of
the navy department, before the Ore
gon, Massachusetts, Indiana and Iowa
follow the Texas as targets for the
projectiles of newer vessels or are
relegated to the ignominy of the 'junk
heap.
The Oregon, most costly of the old
type of sea fighters, cost the govern
ment less than $6,000,000. The New
York, biggest of the Dreadnaughts
now building at eastern shipyards, will
cost nearly $13,000,000.

As a matter of fact, the get-rich-
qulck schemers are coming to the
conclusion that the postofllce admin
istration will not 'stand for' them and
that in consequence it will be
healthier for them to keep within the
bounds of the law.
"They know that if they conduct
shady enterprises nowadays they face.
not only the penalties of a fraud or

chance of getting into the peniten

in the 'Harrison case in Cincinnati
had a very salutary effect, and the
prosecution now being pushed against
the officials of the United Wireless in
New York is another object lesson,
showing that the government Is very
much in earnest in its determination
to send moneyed crooks to jail, just
as readily as though they were men
of no means at all.

spection also will be made more diffi
cult as the successive stages of
pumping out progress as daylight will
not penetrate into the hull af the ves

with artificial light.
What can be saved of the Maine
and what it is most expedient to do
with the vesel can only be well de
termined when she is exposed to
view. Many engineer officers fear
she can never be floated and will
have to be taken apart in sections If
it is decided to save her at all. Oth

fall to pieces when the unwaterlng of
the cofferday gets well under way.
301HKT
POULTRY ON AVERAGE FARM
Vlakes No Great Demands on Strength
and Any Person of Intelligence
May Make Success.
In this country poultry includeft
chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, gui
nea fowls, pigeons and occasionally
pea fowls, pheasants, quail and
swans chickens, of course, being the
most important. Something like a
quarter of a billion chickens and other
poultry are consumed in the United
States every year. The consumption
of eggs is about eighteen dozen per
capita. The last census gave the
value of chickens raised on American
farms in 1899 as $136,891,877 of eggs
as $144,2S6,15S. Today the American
people consume about half a billion
dollars' worth of poultry and eggs
per annum. xport3 are Increasing
and one may enter on the raising of
poultry and eggs with little fear of
not realizing good prices on all pro
duce. ,
Probably 90 per cent, of tne farms
in the United States raise poultry as
a side line; feeding Is more econom
ical where general farming Is pur
sued. Still there are manifest ad
vantages in' specializing greater at
tention, knowledge and skill achieve
better results.
Poultry raising makes no great de
mands on strength, and any person
of intelligence may hope to make a
success of it. But some have made
the mistake of supposing thai the
business can be taken up on a con
siderable scale without any experi
ence. Hens lay all the way from
none to 250 eggs a yeaff and it takes
some experience to tell with what
kind of hens andunder what condi
tions, the ..urfer limit can be reached.
- Probably the best course for the
intending Poultry raiser would be to
work for a year or more on one of
the large chicken ranches in order to
learn the important points of breeds,
feeding, fattening, housing, brooding,
incubating, etc. The raising of broil
ers, roastera and capons for the market
may be a paying occupation on an
egg farm, If orfo secures the right kind
of stock and gives the work the
proper attention and management. No
kind ' of poultry is mure profitable
than turkeys.
FOUNTAIN BUILT FOR DUCKS
Uttle Ones Must Be Kept Dry Until
Their Feathers Have Formed
Useful One Described.
Since ducklings slop water around
considerably when they drink, and
since they should be kept dry until
after their feathers have formed, the
drinking fountain illustrated herewith
will be found particularly useful, says
the American Agriculturist. A square
of quarter-Inch mesh galvanized wire
cloth, say 18 inches to the side, 13
tacked to a wooden frame and placed
Fountain for Ducklings.
over a bed of gravel so the water may
easily drain away. If the soil is not
gravelly, a hole should be dug about
two feet dep . and filled with small
stones. The drinking fountain of any
convenient shape should be anchored
in the center of the wire screen. For
little ducks the .weight of a fountain
holding one gallon or more will be
more than sufficient to prevent top
pling over.
PIIMIC
It is better not to keep ducks and
chicks together.
The young chicks should be look
ed over carefully for lice.
The farmer above everyone is the
party to succeed with poultry.
Have charcoal, sand and water al
ways on hand, and feed small grain.
Clean and disinfect the brooders at
least once a week, and better every
day.
Potato peelings fed raw in not
too large quantities are good for the
laying hens.
Now that the chicks are hatched
the main point is to cee that they are
are kept growing.
Collect eggs every day shortly be
fore noon, or preferably twice daily, at
noon and at. dusk.
A chick, like a baby, will get good
or bad habits according to tjje way
It is started in this world.
To keep chicks growing and thriv
ing they must be fed well and often,
and their crors kept clean.
Separate the chicks as soon as sex
can ue distinguished, because one
will retard the growth of the other.
Move the outside brooders every
eek. If possible sow the yards at
least once a year to rye, barley or
eets.
Whitewashing the Interior of the
poultry houso will not rid it of lice un
less a little carbolic acid is added to
he wash.
The Universal
Creed
By Dr. Frank Crane
m
- In the one universal church to which
all good men belong, composed ol
those of all faiths who honestly live
up to the best they know, whethei
Christian or Pagan, Jew or Gentile
Catholic or Protestant, there is a cer
tain fundamental creed. This, the
greatest common divisor of all creeds
may' be thus stated:
1. The good man sees, acknowl
edges, and believes in, first of all, th
difference between right and wrong
When the word ought disappears frorr
one's vocabulary he may be s-ura ol
moral decay. The one man abomina
ble to any decent society is the mar
who thinks nothing matters. We car
tolerate one, even, who doubts there h
a God; but if one believes there is nc
line between right and wrong, then
as Dr. Johnson said, "let us count oui
spoons when he leaves."
2. The good man believes that hap
piness v.ill come to him, permanently
and as a law, only as he practices do
ing right. Joy, peace, and bliss ar
not to be cozened nor juggled iron
God or nature, but are the sure por
tion of them that persistently do wha'
they think right. Doing right, o!
course, does not always bring monej
or fame or other external desirec
things, but-it brings peace and poist
to the soul, as surely as Uiree timet
five makes fifteen. There are no more
exception to this ruie than to a law o:
physics or of gsonietry. The cosmi(
accuracy run3 in spiritual as well as
in material thing3.
1 3. The good man's duty (in which he
find happiness) is first of all .to de
velop his personality. God made hiii
for a purpose; his joy will consist ir
finding and fulfilling that purpose. H
is not to be some one else, not tc
copy; but, using all masters, .to be
come more and more himself.
4. It is his duty to be strong. Ht
can be of use to others only as he has
force in himself. He therefore shuns
all things that tend to weaken his arm
his brain, or his heart.
5. His duty is to be clean. Thit
item of the creed is oldest and new
est; oldest, in that cleansings were a
part of every early religion, the com
mands of Moses, for instance, abound
ing in many lustral rites; newest, in
that the one lesson of modern science
is the power and safety of the anti
septic life. The devil's name as far as
bodily health and mental clearness
and spiritual vigor is concerned, is
dirt. Dirt is the one enemy to be
hated with all one's soul and to be
fought unto one's last breath.
6. His duty is to be brave. The basic
sin of all sins is cowardice. The high
er the realm of life in which we move
the more dangerous is any kind . oi
fear. And the most deadly of all fears
is the fear of the truth, or the fear foi
the truth. Any man or institution that
fights to preserve himself or itself, foi
the sake of "expediency," that Is tc
say, for fear the truth might do harm.,
any man or institution, in the words oi
Zangwill, that proposes to live and die
in "an autocasm without' facts," is
doomed.
7. His duty is to love. Although, ac
cording to the foregoing points in the
creed, he is to develop self und be
clean, brave, and strong, yet he is to
find his motive for all this and the
end for which he does all this, outside
and not inside of himself.
"It is at this point that he rises, like
an aeroplane leaving the runway on
the ground and scaring aloft; here the
man leaves the company and simili
tude of all other creatures. In his
power, to be actuated by unselfish mo
tives he becomes as a god compared
to the beasts.
He lives for his wile, his children,
his friends, his country, his race; so,
in widening waves his radio-dynamic
flows. The good man therefore hates
no living creature. He despises no
human being.
In him is a cen,tqf,i2al power out
flowing to inundate the universe.
8. From this love arise all graces
and virtues as naturally as peaches
grow from peach trees. Lcving all he
cannot soil a soul, nor wrong a fellow
being, nor hurt wantonly, nor usurp,
nor push for precedence, nor be un
kind, nor in any way drift into the
low, poison life of egoism.
9. His one aim, last of all, is to
serve. Strong in himself, fearless and
loving, he arises at length to the plat
form where stands he who was called
"the first born among many brethren."
He is the master's companion and also
can put away all cheap success, all
luxuries of greed and dominance, and
repeat his master's words:
"Let him who would be greatest
among you be servant of all. I, too,
come cot to be ministered untc, but to
minister."

HIRAM CARPENTER'S WONDER
FUL CURE OF PSORIASIS.
"I have been afflicted for twenty
years with an obstinate skin disease,
called by seme M. D.'s. psoriasis, and
others leprosy, commencing on my
scalp; and in spite of all I could do,
with the help of the most skilful doc
tors, it slowly but surely extended un
til a year ago this winter it covered
my entire person in the form of dry
scales. For the last three years I have
been unable to do any labor, and
suffering intensely all the time. Every
morning there would be nearly a dust
panful of scales taken from the sheet
on my bed, some of them half as large
athe envelope containing this letter.
In the latter part of winter my skin
commenced cracking open. I tried
everything, -almost, ' that could be.

12th of June I. started West, in hopes
I could reach the Hot Springs. . I

thought I should have to go to the

earnestly prayed to die. Cracked
through the skin all over my back,
icross my ribs, arms, hands, limbs;
!eet badly swollen; toe-nails came off;
finger-nails dead and hard as a bone;
aair dead, dry and lifeless as old
itraw. O my God! how I did suffer.
"My sister wouldn't give up; said.
We will try Cuticura.' Some was ap
jlled to one hand and arm. Eureka!
iiere was relief; stopped the terrible
Durning sensation from the word go.
They immediately got Cuticura Re
solvent, Ointment and Soap. I com
menced by taking Cuticura Resolvent
three times a day after meals; had a
bath once a day, water about blood
heat; used Cuticura Soap freely; ap
plied Cuticura Ointment morning and
evening. Itesult: returned to my
aome in just six weeks from the time
! left, and my skin as smooth as this
sheet of paper. Hiram E. Carpenter,
hlcuderson, N. Y."
The above remarkable testimonial
was written January 19, 18S0, and is
epublished because of the perman
rcy of the cure. Under date of April
!2, 1910, Mr. Carpenter wrote from his
present home, G10 Walnut ' St. So.,
Jansing, Mich.: "I have never suf
ered a return of the psoriasis and al
hough many years have passed I have
lot forgotten the terrible suffering I
indured before using the Cuticura
lemedies."
