"Good Old Times” Again.
Hospital patients of today are bet

good old times.” Mr. Wheatley, in
his book on "London," quotes from a
Scottish act of parliament of 1386 to
the effect that “if ony man brings to
tho market corrupt swine or salmond
to be sauld, they shall bo taken by the
baiilie, and incontinent, without ony
question, sail be sent to tho leper

only “eall they be destroyed utterlie.”
The same pleasant custom obtained In
Oxford in tlie fifteenth century, where
all putrid meat and fish was by statute

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR
To allay Itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe
cial treatment Is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an Inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women’s hair.

YAGER FINDS PORTO
RICO IN BAD SHAPE
New Governor Paints Dark
Picture of Financial and
Industrial Affairs.
A dark picture of financial, commer
cial and Industrial conditions In Porto
Rico was drawn by Governor Yager In
his first message to the Insular legis
lature. which is now In session. It
was a surprise to those who believed
that the Island was never more pros
perous. He suggested the immediate
appointment of a legislative committee
to study the situation and discover
where economies can be made.
Of the monetary conditions in Porto
Rico. Governor Yager says:
‘‘The financial condition of the Isl
and and treasury I have found to be
so serious that to this subject I in
vito the utmost force of your atten
tion.”
He then proceeds to tell how last
year, when the total revenues of the
I —-I ’/flv'-'
GOV. ARTHUR YAGER.
government were $4,500,000, the treas
ury department increased old taxes and
levied new forms of taxation to bring
the annual Income up to $6,000,000 this
year. Former Governor Colton esti
mated that the new income would be
$6,082,500. The legislature immediately
appropriated for all purposes an
amount slightly in excess of $7,000,000,
and when the present governor reached
the island the various departments had
arranged their expenditures upon this
basis. This was bad enough, and im
plied n deficit of about $1,000,000 by the
end of the year; but the new taxes
have proved disappointing, and up to |
the present time they have shown no j
possibility of yielding the revenue that
was expected of them. According to
the estimates of the treasurer, now
made in the light of the first six
months of actual experience, they will
not produce more than $600,000 of in
creased revenues, and the decline in
customs receipts, caused by the reduc
tions in the tariff schedules, will most
likely absorb one-half of this. So that
it now appears that the revenues of
the island will exceed those of last
year by only about $300,000, while the
expenditures, if carried out upon the
basis upon which they were started,
will exceed those of bust year by $2,
600,000.
Commerce and Industry Checked.
Continuing, Governor Yager says:
"As to commerce and industry i
found that the island was suffering the
first check which it had experienced ill
several years and which is depressing
the industrial activities of its people.
This check Is uue, m the main, to
causes over which we have no control
and is affecting most seriously the
sugar lnduotry, which is now the chief
Industry of the island. It is feared
that this check to our prosperity has
not yet produced its full effects, and
that our commercial life for a year or
two to come will be greatly restricted
because of it. Already its effects are
being felt by the people as a whole,
due to a consequent decrease in wages
and lack of employment. The revenues
of the government have also been af
fected, especially by the reduction in
the general tariff schedule, which has
cut down our receipts from customs.
As the insular government did not in
any way produce this condition. It is
impossible for it to do much in the
way of remedy.”
Situation Not Hopeless.
Although the sugar Interests have
suffered. Governor Yager sees some
thing of an offset in the outlook for
tobacco, coffee and fruit. He says:
"Even In sugar a large part of the
present depression Is due to the meth
ods of the past, which were speculative
and unsound and which are now being
thoroughly reformed; and another
large part Is due to the dread of free
sugur, which, while It now seems In
evitable, may never come. Therefore,
It seems to me that the industrial sit
uation, while serious, Is not hopeless,
and an attitude of resolute enter
prise and determination should every
where be encouraged.”
The governor recommends resorting
to public loans for necessary public
improvements, deploring especially the
curtailing of the building of school
houses, roads and bridges. He urges
the establishing of an agricultural
bank, and he asks for JE.000 a year for
five years for Insular co-operation with
the New York Academy of Sciences and
the American Museum of Natural His
tory In making a geological and na
tural history survey of Porto Rico. The
scientific Institutions named have of
fered to contribute Jl.iOO a year for
five years.
In conclusion the governor begs the
Porto Rican legislature to prove Its ca
pacity for self-government by showing
“the power to meet a crisis like this
vigorously and yet calmly and firmly.”
The Darkness.
rhe darkness has been very kind to me:
She has shut out the white flame of the
world.
Hidden the sun of sorrow when It hurled
Its beam on me. and I was lost In light!
8he brought the velvet healing of the

When I w as frantic with the staring day
TUI round about me her great spirit lay,
A W'aveless ocean, drowning my dismay.
The darkness hns been very kind to me:
Like a still prayer thought by a lonely

Her quiet Is; the day’s griefs, one by one
Prtft to the shore of long-forgotten things
And hushed are the loud eurth s old echo

Peep in her bosom, deep, oh. very deep,

And sink at last within the pool of sleep.

FRENCH TEMPERANCE
WORKERS OPEN FIRE
ON LIPUOR TRAFFIC
National Drink Bill $236,000,000 Year
ly—France Consuming More Al
cohol Than Any Other
Country.
Paris, Special: A bill to stop the
opening of any more drinking estab
lishments In France Is to be presented
to parliament as the opening wedge for
the antl-alcohollc campaign which is
being taken up anew by temperance
advocates.
Here are sprae of the facts with
which they are trying to drive home
the need of restraint:
If the drinking places already es
tablished were so apportioned there
would be one for every group of 80
inhabitants of France.
In some districts drinking places are
so thickly placed that there is one
for every 17 persons.
New drinking places are springing up
throughout the country at the rate of
six a day.
More alcoholic drink, including wines,
is consumed in France than in any
other nation in the world.
In the form of spirits alone it is es
timated that $236,000,000 worth was
drunk in France during 1911.
"Complete prohibition is beyond the
wildest dreams of any French temper
ance reformer." says Henri Schmidt
who is author of the bill about to come
before the house of deputies, "and the
most we can hope at present is to
forbid the opening of any new saloons.
By refusing to grant new licenses we
hope in the course of time, as some of
the present drinking establishments
fail or cease to exist for other reasons,
to reduce the average of drinking
places to one for 200 Inhabitants. We
shall not, however, try to prevent the
opening of restaurants where drink is
sold with meals.
"But even such a mild anti-alcoholic
measure as this is likely to meet with
much opposition in parliament. How
difficult it is to pass temperance leg
islation in France may be judged from
the fact that in 1912 only 126 out of
600 deputies voted in favoij of a milder
bill which originated in the senate and
was 12 years passing through the upper
house.
"Wo hope, however, that the general
elections this spring will considerably
increase the temperance vote in the
chamber and we are organizing an en
ergetic non-party campaign throughout
France, urging each political group to
obtain from their candidate a declara
tion on the drink question and if pos
sible a pledge to support anti-alcoholic
legislation.
After the passage of the law at pres
ent before the house there are two
other projects which we hope to realize
In course of time. On Is the absolute
prohibiting of the sale of absinthe.
Official statistics show that the con
sumption of this liquor which stood
at 700,000 litres In 1874 had Increased to
28,000,000 litres In 1910. The Increase of
crime In France during recent years Is
largely due to absinthe drinking. Our
mad houses are filled with lunatics who
would have been sane and healthy
men and women but for absinthe.
“The second anti-alcoholic measure
will be for abolishing the ‘privilege’ of
spirit distillers to manufacture a quan
tity of spirit free from taxation for
consumption by themselves and their
families. The amount of spirits thus
manirfactured is enormous, especially
In the cider districts such as Normandy
and Brittany, where every peasant is a
distiller of spirit In a small way. The
government has no check whatever on
spirit manufactured under the ‘privi
lege,’ and of course It Is not by any
means consumed by the distiller and
his family. It is estimated that if the
spirits manufactured under the privi
lege were taxed ut the same rate as
other alcohol It would bring a revenue
of at least $25,000,000.
“We propose no legislation at present
against the drinking of wine. In dis
tricts where nothing but wine Is con
sumed there Is very little alcoholism
Unfortunately Inhabitants of the fam
ous wine growing districts of France
are no longer content to drink wine
alone. They have acquired the taste
for more pernicious drinks and at the
same time more absinthe Is being drunk
each year In the Midi than In any other
part of France.”
Mme. Leon Brunschwleg, general sec
retary of the French Union for Wom
an’s Suffrage and a prominent temper
ance reformer, says: “Antl-alcohollsm
Is one of the chief planks in our plat
form, and I believe the granting of
votes for women will be the only means
of securing a temperance majority In
the French parliament.”
GERMANY ALSO TO CONSIDER
PUTTING BAN ON LIQUOR
Berlin, Special: The German parlia
ment, like that of France, will soon be
called upon the consider measures cf
restraint upon the liquor business of
the empire.
The Federal council has prepared for
consideration a bill which is the result
of years of agitation against the issuing
of liquor licenses regardless of whether
there is any real demand for more
drinking places. Under the existing law
municipalities are authorized to refuse
licenses where the need for their issu
ance Is not proved, but the new meas
ure makes such refusal mandatory. It j
also requires applicants for licenses to
show that they are persons of good I
character and can be depended upon to
conduct their business properly.
The new measure is general in its ap
plication, but is aimed primarily at
Berlin, where the development of
drinking places of a dubious sort in the
last three or four years has been amaz
ing. Quiet residential districts have ,
been invaded by gaudy restaurants and
cafes, and institutions known as
"American bars," equipped with bar
maids and exotic fiddlers, and serving '
mixed drinks termed "American.” To j
these places come hangers on of both
sexes: none of them close their doors
before 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning and
in most of them business is at its
height at these hours. i
Proponents of the new licensing bill
declare that not one in 10 of these re
sorts exists to meet a real need, but
rather to create one, and they are pro
lific breeding places of immorality.
Particular objection is raised to the
so called "animierknelpen." or "anima
tion bars," places where the guests are
encouraged to drink as much as possi
ble. AU these resorts have barmaids
whose greatest assets, from the stand
point of the house, are their good looks
and ability to put away drink for drink
with their customers. These women
work on percentage, which naturally
spurs them to sell as many drinks as
possible.
The difficulty in combating places of
this sort by a general law la found in
the fact that a great number of highly
respectable places employ women as
barmaids or waiters. In south Ger
many, indeed, the female waiter is the
rule. In view of this, the federal coun
cil bill leaves it to the governments of
the Individual federal states to make
regulations governing the employment.
manner of occupation and method of
paying women employes. It is prob
able that the adoption of the bill will
be followed by measures on the part
of the Prussian government to decrease
greatly, if not wipe out entirely, the
“animation bars" and similar resorts
of the capital city.

ITALY WAGING WAR AGAINST
LIQUOR; NEW LAWS PASSED
Rome, Special: A committee of
pharmacists has undertaken organized
effort to help enforce the new laws
against alcoholism in Italy, the out
growth of the recent international con
gress held in Milan.
A circular Issued by the committee
reads:
“The superior council of public
health recognizes that grave effects
from intemperance have not as yet
shown themselves in Italy, but it con
siders conditions favorable for starting
an anti-alcoholism campaign, particu
larly In the form of prevention.
“With the purpose of insuring a more
efficacious defense against the insid
ious advances of intemperance we
recommended:
“(1) That courses of education 1n
hygiene, including particularly the
dangers of alcoholism, be Instituted in
the public schools and that in sections
where the evils of alcoholism already
exist more forcible propaganda be in
stituted under auspices of the police.
“(2) That the government shall
favor the institution of asylums for the
care and cure of drunkards."

WHY MEN DON'T GO TO CHURCH.
A Lively Essay on the Subject by
One of 'Em.
How often we hear the ques
tion asked, why don’t men go to church?
Being one of the many who do not, we
will try to answer the question.
At the start, we ask the question, why
don’t the church go to the men? It holds
itself aloft and like a house built upon a
mountain, it is hard to reach its height,
it is too distant.
There is too much strife between
churches. It seems like an effort to swell
membership for a certain denomination
rather than an effort to make Christians,
regardless of creed.
One of the most important parts of the
church is the man behind the sermon.
Pay more salary and get more for the
money.
Speaking of money reminds us that It
is hardly safe for a man to go two Sun
days in succession to the same church
unless he expects a touch for the preach
er’s salary. Salvation is not free. But
why the haste?
Too many ministers scold the men
whenever they get them in church. The
average man gets enough of that in
business and, presuming he is married,
also at home, without a minister making
an effort to chastise him on the Sabbath.
There is too much sameness in the
sermons and services. Many ministers
are afraid to express a new thought for
fear of offending some of the elders or
bishops. They are only sheep men who
follow their leader and bleat at his heels.
God don’t like a coward.
What is wanted? There is the secret
saved for the last—more encouragement
to not only go, but to continue to go to
church. Point out the beauties of right
living. Show how it prolongs life and
future happiness, in fact, makes life
worth the living. Try to Induce people
to do right because it is right and not be
so strong with the promise of a place in
the celestial orchestra. Take from death
its sting and from the grave its terrors.
Paint the rainbow of hope in the horizon
of despair. Show there is really not the
sacrifice, trials and tribulations experi
enced in living a pure life and neither is
it as lonesome as some would have us be
lieve. Push the clouds away and let the
sunlight in. Give us the gospel of happi
ness. Give us a religion not only good to
die by, but also good to have as a com
panion while living. Lay aside the rival
ry of church creeas and extend the right
hand of fellowship to anyone regardless
of church affiliations. Let him know that
whosoever will, may come and drink of
the fountain of good cheer freely. He
need take no private road or be a slave
to any sect. Remember that a little
pleasure now and then is relished by the
most of men.
Don’t have all the flowers in the ser
mon, have plenty around the interior of
the church edifice.
“For whoso careth for the flowers.
Will much more care for Him!"
Safeguarding Marriage.
By Bean Sumner.
If a man wishes to sell bananas from
a pushcart in Chicago he must bring a
citizen with him, when he applies lor
the license, to testify as to his good
character. But if the same man desires
to marry and raise a family, he can
go alone to the city hall and secure his
marriage license without even so much
as a questiongbeing asked.
Because no attempt has been made to
safeguard marriage, except in late
years, the country now has 3,000,000
insane persons and criminals locked up
in its institutions at a cost of J200.000,
000 annually.
There are three ways to safeguard
the marriage relation. First, by agree
ment among those who perform the
marriage ceremony; second, by legis
lation, and, third, by education. The
latter method promises the earliest re
sults.
The bovs of this country are learn
ing that they have a calling just as
sacred as the call to motherhood, and
that is the call to fatherhood. The
boy can be taught sacredness of his
body at ills mother's knee. The par
ents who neglect such teaching ars
omitting a great opportunity.
Mothers, take your boy to your heart
and sav, "Somewhere, my boy, some
mother's little girl is keeping herself
pure for you; aren't you willing to keep
yourself pure for her?”_
“Sly Looie.”

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham*
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.
Recently was published the fact of
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers in several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
is that of Messrs. J. C. Hill & Sons
of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in a hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck of oats belonging to the Ca
nadian growers above mentioned, and
alongside of these was a like quantity
belonging to a Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe
tition because he was at one time the
winner of the trophy—the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
Judge’s bench. It would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight—50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous in favor of the Saskatche
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
ope greatly to the credit of the Ca
nadian product was that the oats,
grown in 1913, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This, the third winning,
gave them for the third time the
world’3 championship and full posses
sion of the splendid $1,500 silver
trophy contributed by the state of
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid ad
vertising card, were grown 300 miles
north of the international boundary
line, proving that in this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
12 to 48 pounds to the bushel, and
with yields of from 60 to 100 bush
els per acre. Wheat also does well,
grades high, and yields from 30 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said of any portion of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed
over the world not only as a country
where championship grains are grown,
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also carry off championships and
where wild grasses are abundant
yielders, cultivated hay and alfalfa
»re grown, thus giving plenty of feed,
and with a good climate, sufficient
shelter and plenty of water, bring
about results such as western Canada
has been able to record. Thousands
of farmers from the United States
who have their homes in Canada bear
ample testimony to the benefits they
have derived from farming in west
ern Canada.—Advertisement.
Not Much of a Mystery.
Two newspaper men met on the
Street of one of the large cities, spoke
their minds freely, and told the truth,
one to another. “Well," said Smith,
“I hear that old Jones, editor of the
rrumpet, was found dead In his office
last night.” “Yes, so I hear,” an
