Since the Slugger, Coffee, Was Aban-
doned.
Coffee probably causes more bilious-
ness and so-called malaria than any
ore other thing—even bad climate.
(Tea Is just as harmful as coffee be-
cause It contains caffeine, the drug in
coffee).
A Ft. Worth man says:
“I have always been of a bilious tem-
perament subject to malaria and up
to one year ago a perfect slave to cof-
fee. At times I would be covered with
boils and full of malarial poison, was
very nervous and had swimming in
the head.
“I don't know how it happened, but
I finally became convinced that my
sickness was due to the use of coffee,
and a little less than a year ago I
stopped coffee and began drinking
Postum.
‘'From that time I have not had a
boil, not had malaria at all, have
gained 15 pounds good solid weight
and know beyond all doubt this is due
to the use of Postum in place of cof-
fee, as I have taken no medicine at
all.
“Postum has certainly made healthy,
red blood for me in place of the blood
that coffee drinking impoverished and
made unhealthy.” Xame given by
Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum makes red blood.

Being a Baseball Star.
A star's job is a bard one. The
mental strain is even greater than the
physical. For what he undergoes the
fabulous salaries are not fabulous.
Before going into details let us de-
fine a star—the ball player’s defini-
tion:
“A star is any player who. through
Individual excellence, achieves a repu-
tation for brilliant work, thus attract-
ing fans to the park to see him play."
He is a star only so long as his per-
formances stand out. He is paid the
salary of a star a- long as his reputa-
tion brings fans to the stands and
money to the box office. The day that
sees the waning of his sensationalism
also sees the waning of his salary.—

RESULTS FROM CO-OPERATION

GREAT ASSETS OF COUNTRY
Not Its Mighty Commerce or Gold
Mines, but Its Manhood and
Womanhood. Says Barrett.
Proof of Precaution.
Mr. Lansbury's concern, as ex-
pressed in the house, over the mili-
tary drilling going on in the north of
Ireland reminds one of a story of how
Ireland was occasionally taught to
Bhoot in the past. The war office once
sent a famous officer over to inspect
the militia regiments, and the officer,
after inspecting, asked for a few
words with the drill sergeant
“These men of yours,” he said,
“could not hit a target as big as the
Tower of London. You can't have ta-
ken much pains to teach them.”
“Tach thim to shoot.” gasped the
sergeant. "Of course T did not tache
thim to shoot, yer honor; for. bedad.
If I did there wouldn’t be a landlord
left In Munster.”—London Chronicle.
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers' Union:
The greatest assets of this country
are not its mlghev commerce, its won-
derful acreage or Its gold mines. Su-
preme above all these rise the assets
of manhood and womanhood. And
the boy and girl of today, too often
snubbed and too seldom studied, are
the men and women of tomorrow.
I speak advisedly when 1 say that
never In the history of the republic
have opportunities been vaster or
more plentiful than they are In this
year of our Lord, 1912. I know it is
popular to say that the “trusts" and
commercialism have stifled competi-
tion and muzzled opportunity.
The statement is only a half-truth.
1 have been from one end of the coun-
try to the other 1 have visited every
state. 1 have studied conditions in
practically every city of Importance.
I have observed above and below the
surface In every line of trade and in-
dustry.
And, as a result, 1 am convinced
that the loudest cry today Is for men
and women—not just men and women,
but men and women with trained abil-
ity and character. Across the front
A recent letter from our English
correspondent, F. Dew-hirst, says that
co-operation amongst farmers is a live
topic for discussion in Britain, says
the Winnipeg Farmers’ Advocate. The
government, he says, seem strongly
inclined to give substantial encour-
agement to the movement. All over
the country meetings have been held,
and the substantial benefits to be de-
rived commented upon. R. A. Y er-
burgh, head of the Agricultural Or-
ganization Society, is a vigorous cham-
pion of co-operation, and points out
the advantages of co-operative socie-
ties as compared with ordinary lim-
ited companies. In co-operative socie-
ties the shares are allotted any far*
mer who applies, and profits and
bonuses are divided amongst the far-
mers who are members. With a lim-
ited liability company there is the
strong temptation to declare high divi-
dends. Shares would sell at a prem-
ium, and the profits would tempt out-
siders to invest, and thus divert the
benefits from farmers. When a co-
operative society is kept to farmers,
no one else can touch it or use it
against the farmer.
It is further pointed out that Mr.
Y’erburgh quoted some recent results
of co-operation. In Wiltshire, the far-
mers have built a new milk receiving
depot. They have 600 members, a
capital of £12,000, and the turnover
last year, £100,000. During the rush
of the milk period, when prices usual-
ly drop, owing to the big surplus,
cheese was made, and there was no
milk price slump. A Glamorganshire
association succeeded last year in rais-
ing the price of milk from 6^d to lOd
per gallon, wholesale—a big advance.
A Surrey society bought implements
at £56 which had previously cost £70.
and had a handsome profit even then.
Your farmers, says Mr. Dewhirst,
know how heavily railway rates tell
against them, they tell in England
also. Individual farmers are helpless,
but a Cambridge association secured
reductions of as much as 29% in ^ome
cases.
The Agricultural Organization Sd-
ciety in England was founded in 1901.
There were thirteen societies then;
now there are 396, with a membership
of 24,000, and a turnover of £1,000,000.
All over the world there Is a great
field for work by co-operative meth-
ods to cut out the frequently unneces-
sary middleman, who absorbs so large
a share of the difference between what
the farmer receives and the consumer
pays.

Repartee Off the Stage.
In the big Weber-Fields dressing
room Joe Weber and George Behan
sat tense over a game of checkers.
“I’m working him up to his part,” mur-
mured Mr. Weber, in a kind voice.
“He must go on the stage in a tan-
trum in a few minutes. Every night
I beat him a game of checkers in here
before his entrance. It has just the
right effect on him.” “Every night
you don’t beat me!” cried his oppo-
nent. “I owe you $1.90 in 12 w’eeks. Is
that much?” “Not so much, but I’d
be glad to get it,” suggested the sweet-
voiced Weber.

Joke on the Doctor.
The physicians in Mankato had
agreed that during their Chautauqua
assembly they would employ a call
boy, and each was to pay his share
of the expense. This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, without
disturbing the speaker, as it was em-
barrassing to him and looked as if
they were doing it to advertise with-
out expense. So it all went well until
the afternoon when Strickland W. Gil-
liland spoke. As he was talking away
a certain doctor had a call from the
platform, and he walked out rather
ostentatiously. Some of the people
who knew of the arrangement laughed
or snickered, and the speaker got it.
He said: “Don't laugh, folks. That Is
the way my brother got his start.”
And everybody roared.

Organize Farm Work. .
We farmers must learn to organize,
to educate, and to eo-operate—not
only to hold our own. but to do the
full measure of duty to our fellow cit-
izens. says a writer in an exchange.
Our first attempts may not be ex-
amples. but we obtain strength from
trying The work upon the farm
should be organized. The farmers In
the district should organize and co-
operate in the matter of crops that
the best markets may be sought. This
requires education to the value of
such organization and co-operation.
Results may not come immediately,
but strength will be gained.
Phosphate Manure.
Uterrit.
A new point in favor of phosphatlc
manure has been proved in France,
1 where the soils generally are deficient
in phosphate. Muntz finds that milk,
butter and cheese of the finest quality
are obtained only from pastures ex-
ceptionally rich in phosphates, or that
have been treated with either acid
phosphate or superphosphates Pa-
turel has traced a clear connection
between the quality of wine and the
supply of phosphates. Analyses of nu-
merous samples during the last 10
years show that the best wines are
richest in phosporic acid, of which
they contain about 0.3 gram per quart,
while the second, third and fourth
classes are successively poorer. Fur-
ther, if the vintage for different sea-
sons are arranged in order of their
phosphoric acid content, the list thus
obtained is almost identical with the
order of merit assigned by the wine
merchants.
Easy to Lick Russia.
A couple of little newsies stood in
front of the Y’oungstown (O.) Tele-
gram bulletin recently reading the
printed lines and making comments on
the press reports.
“Gee, it says here 'at there's liable
to be some o' troubles 'ith Russia on
account ob de treaty,” said one.
“What’s de difference?” said the
other. “Dis country don't need to
worry.”
“Oh, I don't know.” said the first
speaker, “it might bring on a war.”
“Huh!” sniffed the second boy. “Un-
cle Sam could lick Russia wid de Sal-
vation Army.”
