Some Farm Facts.
The need of the rural communities
today is intelligent and consecrated
leadership.
The farm is the power house of all
progress and the birthplace of all
that is noble.
The farm is the nursery of civil-
ization and the parsonage of all re-
ligious denominations.
The farmer asks no special privilege.
The business of farming only wants
the same opportunities afforded other
lines of industry.
It is as much a duty of the country
pastor to exhort us to own a home
while on earth as it is to inspire us
to build a mansion in the skies.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in-
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in
public affairs.

Housing and Health.
Nature intended man to live out-
doors. Civilization has so extended
the geographical range of the human
race that this primitive plan has of
necessity been abandoned by the
great “majority of people who spend
far more time indoors than out.
In the early stages of civilization
houses were sufficiently primitive to
insure a heal;hful degree of ventila-
tion. In recent years there has been
much talk in regard to the improve-
ment necessary in housing conditions.
In the larger cities there are many
miserable tenements which are unfit
for habitation but the great majority
of our modern houses are constructed
on sanitary lines and would be more
healthlful if they were properly used.
All the living rooms and bed “rooms
should have a sufficient amount of
fresh air passing through them ito
keep the atmosphere perfectly sweet.
With the arrival of the cold weather
comes the problem of properly heat-
ing the house. The ordinary hot air
furnace provides for the admission of
fresh air as do indirect systems of
steam and hot water heating but
where the radiators are placed in the
rooms heating too often means rais-
ing the temperature of the impure
and stagnant air which often remains
unchanged for hours regardless of
the number of people who breathe it.
It may add to the expense of heat-
ing our homes and places of business
to permit constant admission of fresh
air and the discharge of that which
has been vitiated. Health, however,
depends upon the quality and quanti-
ty of the air we breathe and the
slight additional expenditure required
for heat plus ventilation will mean
much to health when compared with
heat minus ventilation.
The latter is responsible for the
great increase in pneumonia which
occurs during the winter months.

INCLO-FRENCH TIDE
SWEEPING INVADERS
FAR FROM PARla
FIFTY AVIATORS HAVE
LOST LIVES THUS FAR
DURING PRESENT WAR
PARIS.—The total number of §
aeroplane pilots killed thus far
in the war is estimated at fifty,
divided among the beligerents
as follows: Russian, 16; French,
12; English, 4; German, 18.
This does not take into con-
sideration pilots and crews of
dirigibles, many of which have
been reported destroyed.
London.—Cutting off a great force
of Germans sixty miles northeast
of Paris, the first and second divi-
sions of the British army, assisted
by a French cavalry, scored a com:
plete victory.
Unofficial despatches telling of
the battle state that the British cap-
tured 6,000 prisoners and fifteen
guns. Although greatly outnumber
ed they completely routed the Ger-
mans. Officers report the forces of
" the Kaiser utterly demoralized. The
prisoners taken were half starved
and ravenously devoured beef bis-
cuits supplied them by their captors.
A party of British cyclists surpris-
ed a detachment of German cavalry
in a wood and wiped out 150. The
losses of the attacking cyclists were
severe, but nothing to compare with
those of the Germans.
DEVELOPMENTS OF THE WAR.
FRANCE.—Gen. Joffre, commander in
chief of the French forces, in a
telegram to the Minister of War
says that the French victory ap
pears more and more complete.
“Everywhere the enemy is «in re
treat, abandoning prisoners, wound
ed and stores.” In a further state
ment he says that the German army
is retreating before the French left,
having evacuated Amiens and fall
ing back eastward between Sois-
sons and Reims. In the centre the
Germans still hold the south end
of the forest of Argonne, but west
of this they have retired north-
ward from Vesle and are making no
attempt to defend the Marne to the

eastward has been cut, thus forcing
the invaders to rely on the lines
through the valley of the Meuse and
“through Luxemburg, which are like
ly to be thrown into confusion by
the congestion. The Crown Prince's
force, attacking Verdun, is also
| imperiled. Tvl
BELGIUM.—Passengers returring ta
! England from Holland report that
the Anglo-Belgian forces have re
captured Brussels and are now in
occupation of it. A large Belgian
army under King Albert defeated
the Germans with considerable loss
at Termonde, Ghent and Lierre. It
has driven the Germans in the dis-
trict around Antwerp south and it
is said that the German forces have
been cleared out of a territory fif-
teen miles south of Antwerp. The
purpose of these movements in
Belgium has been to cut off the
German communication with the
German front in France and also to
check the sending of troops to the
French battle front. The Belgian
successes, it is asserted, have been
largely instrumental in effecting
both of these purposes.
RUSSIA.—The reports from St. Pet:
ersburg, Rome and Paris say that
the Russian victories for the past
few days have utterly overwhelmed
the power of the Austrian army in
Galicia. The armies of Gens. von
Auffenberg and Danki have been
shattered in Galicia where they
were making a desperate effort tg
concentrate in the vicinity of
Ravarusska. Caught between riv-
ers and unable to protect their
wagon trains or transport artillery
in marshy country, they were cut
off from supplies of all kinds and
are now completely surrounded. It
is estimated that the Austrian Gen:
erals were unable to withdraw 180,
000 men after the disasters at
Krasnik and Tomaszow. It is said
that the Russians in the last two
of Lemberg.
days have taken 60,000 prisoners,
including 110 officers, and an im-
mense quantity of ammunition and
military stores. The surrender of
Gens. Auffenberg and Denki will
have two immediate results. The
way will be open for the great Rus-
slan army to advance toward
Breslau and thence to Berlin, and
also for an independent force of
Russians and Servians to make a
junction for an advance upon Buda-
pest and Vienna. The Russians
upon completing their operations in
Galicia plan to move directly toward
Vienna.
