English Spinners Seek to 'Be Inde- pendent of America. In the hope of some day securing a raw cotton supply independent of America, the International Fed- eration of Master Cotton Spinners' land Manufacturers' Association of England has launched a scheme for the establishment of a model cot- ton plantation in Punjab, India. Considering the advances already made in India, it is estimated that before many years the Indian crop will be almost as large as the Ameri- gan crop. The model plantation in India will'demonstrate the benefits which arise from intensive fatming thereby encouraging the landed pro- prietors to adopt this system and to improve the yields per dcre and the quality of the fibre. "The land will be sown with as large percentage of American cot- |. ton seed as possible, and the Agri- cultural Department of Punjab will have the right to purchase any of the surplus seed produced which is not required for the estate, for dis- tribution in other districts, The Federation has secured a twenty years' lease of 7,500 acres close to the railway and water sup- ply. A modern ginning mill is to be erected; and as there is scarcely any population in the vicinity, mo- del villages are to be established for the workmen, who are to be brought in and instructed by ex- perts, Leading members of the Federa- tion: believe that within a few years it will be possible to increase the Indian cotton crop to ten million bales - without encroaching on the area required for food. ufac- turer in all countries using Indian cotton are subscribing to the pro- ject, -- ge GOOD CHANGE. _ Tea and Coffee to Postum. The large army of persons who have found relief from many chron- ic ailments by changing from tea 'and coffee to Postum as a daily beverage, is growing each day. It is only a simple question of trying it for oneself in order to know the joy of returning health as realized by this young lady. She writes: + "I had been a coffee drinker nearly all my life and it affected my stomach--caused insomnia and 1 was seldom without a headache." (Tea is just as injurious because it contains the same drug, caffeine).

This quiet place is a room for sei- entific research, especially built Jo in Leipzig, but that was not entire- ly successful. The means that Pro- fessor Zwaardemaker used are worthy to be recorded. In the first place, he built three rooms, one inside of another : then, since a vacuum is a poor conductor of sound, he had the air all pump- ed from between the walls. The interior walls of the rooms were one layer was of stone blocks, treat- | ed by a special process. The cavi- ties Yeonecn the stones were filled with horsehair; next to the stone were placed layers of wood and ¢ork. The other coverings were lay- ers of lead plate, sea grass, and paper. The walls were further lined with tapestry to absorb the inter- nal counds. Not the slightest sound can penetrate to the innermost chamber. In that room there rules an absolute quiet, a quiet that can be found in ot other place on earth. mete I eee THE SQUARE DEAL PAYS And square with the enemy every man gets when he separates himself from his corneé by Putnam's Corn Extractor.

We refuse to judge a man's char- acter by his actions in public. Love may be blind but the girl's small brother sees things. Many 'a, harmless-looking bottle contains a lot of fish stories. And one good action is worth more than a hundred good inten- tions. It's a lonely day in a yellow dog's life if nobody hands him a kick. Gold may be the key to society, but poverty is the strongest bar. Good judgment frequently ena- bles a man to use the good judg- ment of others. Faith, hope, and charity belong to the man who lends his new um-~ brella to a friend. : A maid of twenty tries to act like 4 widow of forty, a widow of forty tries to act like a maid of twenty --and there you are. .
