AS HEALTH OFFICERS SEE IT.
Dr. Haven Emerson, health cornmis-
jsioner of New York city:
“It is, as I conceive it, the cluty^of
iepartments of health to teach, teach,
teach, persuade, demonstrate, exhibit,
[exhort, prove that alcohol as a bever-
age 01 in patent medicines is a men-
ace to personal and community health,
is a common source of sickness and
death, is blocking the path of preven-
tive medicine and is a menace to the
physical and social development of the
labion.”
Health Commisisoner Ford of Cleve-
land, O.:
“Teaching the effects of alcohol is
public health function. There is
^nothing more important than this ques-
tion”
Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary Indiana
state board of health:
“We know that alcoholic liquor is a
^vile and evil thing. It is a horrible
thing from an economic and social
point of view; It is always and ev-
erywhere injurious from the physical
standpoint. Every drop is a poison. I
Its use is always injurious, and if I !
iad the power I would close every
rpublic saloon as a public dope shop.1*
Dr. John Dill Robertson, health
Commissioner of Chicago:
“In the city of Chicago, where the
leath rate is approximately 100 a day,
)t is safe to say that at least 25 per
|?nt of these deaths are caused direct-
or indirectly by alcohol. Alcohol
produces acute inflammation of the
(stomach, hemorrhage of the pancreas,
mart disease, cancer of the stomach,
[Rright’s disease, fatty liver, hardened
liver, inflammation of the nerves, epi-
ppsy, hardening of the arteries and
^multitude of other afflictions of the
Tdy. Those are known medical facts. |
is not only a causative factor in the j
iseases and afflictions mentioned, but j
it invades the mental man and pro-
duces insanity.”
The New Jersey Health Officers’ as-
sociation passed a resolution recom-
mending that campaigns of publicity

departments of health for the purpose

ages.

Structure Furnishes Comfortable
Stabling Room for 24 Cows
and Seven Horses.
ALSO SAVES MUCH LABOR
Farmers Now Thoroughly Understand
the Value of Sanitary Conditions
and Ventilation, Such as Is
Supplied in a Building
of This Type.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pei’taining to the
Bubject of building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all Inquiries to William A. Rad-
ford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago,
111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for
reply.
The good farmer of today is like an
expert checker player in that he con-
tinually carries in his head a definite
plan which will guide him through
several “moves” to come. He must
tion dairy and horse born such as is I ^
shown in the illustrati'tqw.
This particular structure Is 86 feet
in width by 60 feet in length and fur-
nishes stabling for 21 cows and seven
horses. It is designed according to
the latest practice in farm-building ar-
chitecture. The width is based upon
tbe proper size of stalls for the cows,
together with a correct allowance for
feed and litter alleys. .Since the horse
stalls are placed crossways of the barn
they do not enter into .the determina-
tion of width. Eight feet of clear head-
room Is allowed over tbe cow stalls,
and nine feet over the horse stalls.
These values are based upon what is
considered correct from a standpoint
of ventilation.
The whole foundation is of concrete
with footings and piers reaching down
to solid ground, below frost level, and
firmly embedded to prevent settling.
When the mow above the stables is
filled to the peak, a great weight is
added to the building and this neces-
sitates the construction of a good un-
derpinning which will keep the build-
ing square and plumb and will prevent
cracks in the concrete work. The en-
tire floor is made of concrete, with gut-
ters and mangers formed in it for the
cow stalls. The proper slope is giv-
en all standing floors, and the feed
alley floor Is raised slightly above
these.
The equipment of the barn Is such
as will eliminate all possible manual

“Beer promotes efficiency,” says the

(Copyright, 1916. by W. G. Chapman.)
Albion Dare was a contented and
happy man. He had been brought up
on a farm yielding a comfortable liv-
ing. He had won Minna Royce, belle
of Bayview, for his bride and now
there was a two-year-old little cherub,
Norman, to fill the vine embowered
cottage with animation all day long.
Then came a new run of what his<
friends called luck. He was made town
marshal. John Rush, his predecessor,
had become old and slow in his meth-
ods. They needed a younger man to
rule the police destinies of Bayview.
Not that the duties of marshal at the
well ordered little village were at all
active, onerous or perilous, but there
was a civic pride in keeping the town-
ship clear of tramps and criminals.
“All this suits me pretty well, Min-
na,” said Albion to his wife. “It’s a
six hundred dollar salary dropped right
Into my lap. It won’t interfere with
me continuing to run the store.”
“But suppose you have to battle with
bandits, and arrest burglars, and cap-
ture murderers!” voiced Minna awe-
somely.
Then, slight as he was in build, mild
and inoffensive as he was in his talk
and manners, Albion smiled quietly
and replied:
“I’ll try moral suasion, dear, and if
that fails why—” and he exhibited the

sot be content with knowing what is
«o be done today, but he must know
vliat follows tomorrow and the next
lay and the next. Farming is every
lay becoming less and less an “easy-
go-lucky” life, suitable for the man
(vho is foo lazy to do anything else,
md it is becoming a systematic busi-
ness requiring careful planning and
alert attention to details.
The modern farmer has already rec-
Dgnizezd the fact that he cannot work
without the tools of his trade, and he
has set about finding the best way to
do the man ytasks of farm life with
the minimum expediture of manual
effort. The result is expressed in the
many faun implements and devices
which have during recent years beeD
placed upon the market. Time which
may be saved by the use of machinery
Is time which may be devoted to more
careful planning and the establishment
Df more perfect organization in the
system of management which governs
the farm work.
Even the farmers who own only
small tracts of land are finding use for
the latest: types of harvesting ma-
chinery, gasoline power for pumps and
other devices requiring moderate
amounts of power, gas and other light-
ing systems, hot and cold water in
their houses, and all sorts of modern
barn equipment. They are replacing
their older buildings for new ones of
the more modern type and they are
paying more attention to sanitary con-
ditions and ventilation in their live-
stock-housing quarters.
At this time of the year many farm-
ers are looking forward to tbe winter
months and are building new barns'
which will provide them with the best
possible means of housing their cows
and horses in quarters equipped in
such a way that healthful conditions
may be maintained without excessive
labor. Those who have found the wis-
dom of feeding ensilage have usually
had their new silo constructed and
work in doing the chores.' Silage is
taken in a feed carrier down the feed
alley to the mangers, on either side,
from the small feed room at the end
of the alley. A hopper is provided
in the feed room so that the material
is loaded directly into the carrier with-
out extra handlmg. This carrier is
also used to take feed to the horse
mangers from the chute. Litter is tak-
en on two tracks from the litter al-
leys directly to the manure spreader
or to the manure pile at the silo end
of the barn. Feed and litter carriers
are a great help to the farmer and
they may be arranged in many ways
to greatly aid in establishing a sys-
tematic method of maintaining sani-
tary conditions.
The final point of importance in the
design of this barn is the ventilating
system. The value of good ventilation?
in a dairy and horse barn can hardly
be overestimated. It is. not only of
prime Importance in keeping the live
stock in the best of health, but it even
goes so far as to effect the amount of
■feed which Is required to maintain the
stock. Fotfl air, robbed of its oxygen
co tent, is not effective in keeping the
temperature of the animals up to the
normal value which is required for
good health, and as a result the cattle
and horses must eat more food to bring
up the temperature of their bodies.
Three sheet-steel ventilators are used
in the system installed in this barn.
The central ventilator is used exclu-
sively for the ventilation of the mow.
Each of the two end ventilators is con-
nected to two foul-air passages. These
passages are carried down the four
corners of the barn to the stables.
Fresh air is guided into the barn In
such a way that it Is liberated at the
center near the heads of the animals.
This Is the only correct system of
barn ventilation. Air which is al-
lowed to float aimlessly around in &
barn will soon become stale and com-
lamina t ertf.

That Fails, Why—”
handle of a big revolver in his hip
pocket.
“Oh, how brave and fearless you
are!” breathed Minna, but she shud-
dered at a sight of the gruesome
weapon. “Have you written Uncle Ben
about your getting ahead?”
“Yes, I thought it wouldn’t harm, al-
though he hasn’t paid much attention
to us of late years. I told him, too, of
little Norman—called after his middle
name. A queer old fellow is Uncle
Ben. I hope he won’t think we named
Norman after him just to get his good
will.”
“Suppose he did?” flashed forth the
motherly Minna. “Is there a finer child
in the world? Uncle Ben ought to be
proiid to know that he’s got such a
smart, handsome namesake!”
Albion did very well a^s marshal.
Single handed and valiantly he cap-
tured Knifer Dodd, a troublesome foot-
pad who had made night traveling dan-
gerous on the roads leading into Bay-
view. The man was sent up for five
years nnd threatened “to get even”
with Albion.
“You serve your time like’ a gentle-
man and get good time by behaving
yourself,” advised Albion in his quiet,
good hearted way, “and I’ll give you a
new start in life after you’ve paid your
debt to the state.”
No answer came from Uncle Ben,
but the Dares heard that he was away
from home. About a month later
there was a grand scare for Minna.
She was seated chatting with Mrs.
Rush, the wife of the former marshal,
when the letter carrier handed her a
package across the garden gate. It
was directed to her husband, long,
ftmnd and wrapped In heavy manila
paper.
“Mrs. Dare,” spoke her neighbor ab-
ruptly, “I don’t tike the looks of that
package.”
“Why, wlmt do you mean?” inquired
Minna is surprise.
“ lust what I say. It makes me shud-
j^\aud one morning we found just such
a queer looking parcel as that, under
the door step. It bad a half burned-
out fuse on it. M.v husband took it to
the town hall. It was a bomb, an in-
fernal machine—dynamite -!”
Minna uttered a sharp scream and
made a movement as if to throw the
package into the street.
“For mercy’s sake don’t drop it!”
warned her agitated visitor. “Don’t
you know it goes off by concussion and
may blow us all to pieces?"
“O-oh ! whatever shall I do with it?”
shivered Minna.
“Put it on the window sill on the
porch,” advised Mrs. Rush. “Care-
fully, now. Your husband will be home
soon to dinner and he will attend to
it.”
The neighbor left and Minna sat on
the lowest step of the porch with many
a shuddering glance at the mysterious
package. Baby was asleep in the ham-
mock at the other end of time porch.
Minna got so anxious that she went
down to the gate looking longingly
down the street.
“Oh, there he is at last!" she ex-
claimed joyfully and hurried down the
street to meet her husband.
“Why, Minna, you look all dis-
turbed,” spoke Albion as her trembling
hand rested on his arm and he noted
the unusual palor on her face.
“1 am nearly frightened to death,”
confessed Minna. “Oh, Albion ! I fear
your being marshal is going to cost you
enemies and danger.”
“Why, how is that, little woman?”
“Someone, maybe the friends of
Knifer Dodd, has sent you a bomb
through the mail!” and Minna flatter-
ingly described the arrival of the mys-
terious package.
“U’in! we’ll look into this,” said Al-
bion. “Where did you say you placed
it?”
“On the window sill—Albion!” fairly
screamed Minna—“it’s gone !”
“Why, that is strange,” commented
Albion, as both reached the porch.
Thump—thump—thump !—tbe eyes
of both were turned to the far end of
the porch. Baby, it seeined. had awak-
ened. Baby had gone out of the ham-
mock. Baby sat pounding with some-
thing on the floor of the porch which
he applied to his mouth and pounded
some more.
“Albion!” shrieked Mrs. Dare, “it’s
the dynamite! Oh! get it. Oh! he’s
been eating it and it may kill him. Oh!
oh! oh! and in a hysterical fit poor
Minna sank into the nearest seat, over-
come.
She roused to her natural self to find
her husband laughing till he shook all
over. He had baby in his arms and
baby was crowing loudly. In his little
hand he held the dreaded “dynamite
stick.” Its battered end, the result of
the pounding on the porch floor, hud
been stripped down an inch or two by
papa and upon it young Norman was
feasting. ?
“Why!” gulped Minna staring, “it’s
candy!”
The big red and white striped stick
diffused a distinct odor of peppermint.
The stick was six times the diameter
of the ordinary one-center.” Albion
took it from baby’s grasp and stripped
off the rest of its manila covering. As
he did so he brought to light a strip of
letter paper.
“From Uncle Ben,” he advised.
“Note says, ‘biggest stick of candy 1
could buy.’ ”
“Oh, Albion, how silly I have been !’f
breathed Minna.
“I also add a small gift for my
namesake. Will duplicate each year if
he behaves himself.”
“Norman misbehave himself! The
idea!” cried the fond mother. “Whaf
is it, Albion?”'
A tive-hundred-dollar bill,” an-
swered Albion, fluttering the bunk note
in question.
“Oh, it can’t be possible I”
“Look for yourself and be con-
vinced.”
“And I had my scare al! for noth-
ing,” narrated Minna to Mrs. Rush.
And Knifer Dodd had no idea of
blowing us all to smithereens. And
wasn’t Albion brave, starting right
into the jaws of danger!”
“To discover an innocent stick of
peppermint candy!” laughed the
neighbor cheerily. “Oh, dear! it
teaches us always to hope for the
best, doesn’t it, now?”
Monkeys' Playful Antics.
The merry antics of monkeys are
many and diverting. Humboldt was
acquainted with a monkey in India
which took delight in riding a pig.
Every moruing the creature caught
one, leaped astride his back, and cling-
ing, there with great firmness, took his
fill of riding. Another monkey, do-
mesticated by a missionary, usee to
put the family cat; a strong, good-nak
ured animal, to the same use. „
