Voters ate looking with some degree of alarm upon an expenditure of fully a half million dollars by the Republican state central machine and the men it trill’ support in the election. The people are interested in asking why candidates and their backers can afford to pay such fabulous sums to secure the nomination as candidates for state offices. The big interests which boast of their liberal contributions usually find a way to get their money back with large interest when they can elect and boss governors, and auditors, and treasurers, and public service commissioners, and industrial boards, and tax commissioners and the like, mich as they are now aiming' to control through the Republican party. The voters can not

HARD WORK.

By Walt .Mason. Its hard to keep smiling when troubles are piling their weight on your neck till it’s sprained; it’s hard to keep grinning when others are winning the prizes for which you have strained. It’s hard to be cheery on days wet and dreary, when everything near you looks drowned; it’s hard to be sunny when all of your money is sunk in a hole in the ground. It s hard to keep laughing when wearily quaffing the flagon of grief to the dregs, it’s harder to

frolic when you have the colic, or gout at the end of your tegs. But how will it aid you, when woe has waylaid you, to rumble and grumble and swear? There’s nothing that’s healing in kicking the ceiling, or biting the rungs from a chair. It’s hard to look pleasant when anguish is present, and yet it is strictly worth while; net all of your scowling and fussing and growling can show off your grit like a smile.

Oat Smut Prevention.

Washington, Feb. 17.—The average annual losses from smut in oats are greater than those caused by any other preventable cereal disease in the United States. Treating the seed with hot water or with formaldehyde solution before sowing is an easy, cheap and effective way of preventing this disease. The latter method, which is the one most available for general use, is here briefly summarized. Both methods are described in detail in Farmers’ Bulletin 507, which will be sent free on application to the secretary of agriculture, Washington D. C. Mix the formalin (a commercial preparation which is 37 per cent formaldehyde by weight) with water at the rate of one pound (a little less than a pint) to 40 gallons of water. The grain may be either loosely inclosed in sacks or put loose into a tub or vat with the solution. Agitate the sacks or stir the loose grain occasionally so that the entire surface of every grain will be thoroughly wet. Instead of being immersed the seed oats may be spread on a clean floor or canvass and sprinkled with the solution and shoveled over during the process so that they will be wet evenly as in the other method. Not over a gallon of solution will be needed for every bushel of dry grain. After sprinkling, shovel the seed into a pile, cover it with sacks wet with the solution, and allow it to stand for at IPast two hours before spreading it out to dry. Precautions: The oats may be seeded as soon as dry enough to run through the drill. If the seed is still moist, however, the drill must be set to sow more to the acre than if It is dry. The quantity which should be sown may be determined by measuring a given bulk before and after treatment and figuring the proportion of increase. After treating do not expose the seed to freezing until it is thoroughly dry. Do not allow the treated seed to come into contact with old sacks, bins or machinery in which there may be smut spores. If such must be used, scald them or wash them first with the formaldehyde solution.

Moses and Sanitation.

There has been gathered a collection of facts to prove that the sanitary laws of Moses were not only on a line with the modern rules of hygiene, but in some eases in advance, of them. . The Jew, thousands of years? betore Christ, settling in a semitropical country, was forbidden to eat pork or shellfish, and milk was designated as a source of contagion. In ’hr Talmud a method of slaughtering animal's was prescribed Which is acknowledged, today in our markets as the most sanitary. Five thousand years before Koch gave to the world the results of his re.amri hes- tn’ b icteriology the Mosaic law pointed our the danger to man from tuberculosis in cattle, but did not forbid infected poultry as food. It was only a few years ago that German specialists discovered that fowl tuberculosis was harmless to man. The .Mosaic law also enforced the isolation of patients with contagious diseases and the burial of the dead outside all cities. These hints the gentile World did not fully accept until a century or two ago. The wise lawgiver prescribed not only fasting at certain periods of the year, but the removal of whole families in summer out to camps, where tor a time they could live close to nature. Many of the laws of Moses were prescriptions intended for the health of both mind and body.— Los Angeles Times.

How Two Men Cured LaGrippe > .“Last winter I suffered with a terrible cold and a case, of la grinne ” K - c - Rhodes of Middleton. Ga. , M hen getting well of la grippe I still had a hacking cough and for several months could get no relief. Finally I began taking Foley’s Honey and far and soon I was well of both cougii and cold and it never returned.” . G ' Pr . cvo > Bedford, Ind.. Writes: After having an attack of la grippe it left me with a severe cough and I tried every thing 1 . I lost in weight and got so thin it looked as though * ncver get well. I tried Foleys Honey find Tar Compound and two bottles cured me. I atn now weil and back to normal' weight.” Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound is a healing family remedy and seldom fails to relieve coughs, colds, croup, Whooping cough, raw and inflamed throat, tight and sore chest, irritated tickling throat and bronchial coughs. iSold everywhere.

CHRISTIAN COMMUNISM

•' Acts t:92—s:ls—February 20. Christ’s Sympathetic, Loving Spirit Illustrated In the Church—Love “Seeketh Not Her Own’’ Interests Only. Communism Tried—Why It Failed. “Lore one another from the heart fervently.— t Peter 1:22. CHE Record tells us that the number of believers was more than five, thousand in a little while. The spirit of love began to burn in their hearts—thankfulness to God, appreciation of His favor, a desire to serve Him and sympathy and love for the brotherhood. Some were poorer than others; and, controlled, by the spirit of love, they felt that they would wish all the poorer brethren to have just as good as themselves. First they gave privately one to another, as they realized the needs. Then the matter went further, and they organized a little community. Many of the wealthier sold their possessions, and turned in the money to the Lord's treasury, desiring that a certain amount

be supplied to themselves and all other members of the community—share and share alike. This manifested a very beautiful spirit, and under perfect conditions would have been the wise and proper course. As it was, however, the

community proved a failure. Appar-. ently the Lord permitted that test and failure to show us that no such community amongst His people is possible at the present time. As soon as Messiah’s Kingdom is established, the community principle will prosper wonderfully. But it is impracticable now, as it was in the days of the Apostles. This lesson introduces us to Barnabas, a godly man and wise, a mighty power in the Church. His proper name was Joses; and he must have been a very fine character when the Apostles named him Barnabas—implying that he had a beautiful spirit, and in his daily life was a “son of consolation” to all with whom he had contact Barnabas had a property or estate. This he sold, and brought the proceeds to the Apostles’ feet. He was not an Apostle: for of them there were only twelve, and at this time only eleven, because of the loss of Judas. St. Paul, the twelfth Apostle, the Lord’s chosen vessel, had not yet had his eyes opened to the truth of the Gospel. Ananias and his wife Sapphira also sold their property, and kept back a portion of the price, bringing the remainder to the Apostles as though it were the entire sum. Indeed, in conspiring between themselves, they had agreed to declare that the money which they turned in to the treasury was all that they had received from the property. Our lesson tells how St Peter treated the matter, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, He point ed out to Ananias that the property Was his own, that he was neither compelled nor urged to donate it to this community, that it was his own voluntary gift, and that he had lied to God, not merely to the community. Hearing these words, Ananias fell deadsmitten of the Lord. A little later, his wife Sapphira suffered similarly. Why Repentance Was Not Preached. We query. Why did not St. Peter point-put to Ananias and Sapphira wherein they had erred, urge them to repentance, and join with them in prayer rather than pronounce upon them tin* death penalty? Our thought is that these two culprits were not really God's children—that they had never received the begetting of the Holy Spirit; and that the Lord took this opportunity to give the .Church a greitt lesson—to remind them that they were dealing, not with flesh and blood, but with Jehovah God. From this viewpoint, it was worth while to sacrifice these two persons under Divine judgment with a view to teaching the C’hurch how displeasing in God’s sight is hypocrisy—especially in respect to religious things. If these two were spirit-begotten, their destruction would be the Second Death; and we would have no Scriptural ground for expecting them to have any resurrec-

whom Christ died, and who have not yet received in full the blessings of reconciliation with God through the Lord Jesus. Such glorious favor may lie expected for the world in general during the Millennium, when “all the of the earth shall -be blessed.’ ’ ami brought to a knowledge of the Truth and to an opportunity of accepting unto salvation. Our charitable thought for Ananias and Sapphira is that, not having received the Holy Spirit, they but imper fectly appreciated what;they were doing; that they have not sinned unto death; and that in the resurrection time they will have opportunity to show their loyalty or disloyalty to God.
