Besides aiding the farmer on the labor question, the woodlot can supply a portion of the building material, the bulk of the repair material and a large part, if not all, of the fuel used on the average farm. In addition, the well-kept woodlot may be made a source of outside income through sales of timber, ties or fuel wood. Not of Courses but Dishes. Three courses seem to have been the customary menu in medieval limes for a state banquet, less ceremonial feasts comprising only two, ami no private dinner more than one. But each course might comprise from eight to a dozen different dishes. Thus nt the wedding banquet of Henry V there were' only three courses, yet over 30 different dishes are mentioned in the records, irrespective of fruits and wines.—London Chronicle.

Dreaming of an Absent Ofil. To dream of grieving over the absence of anyone is said to be a sure sign that the person you dream of will soon return, and with friendliness or love grown all the stronger through absence. But to dream of rejoicing at anyone's absence means that you will shortly receive news you would rather be without.

Physicians undoubtedly did taeir best, battled with this case steadily and could do no more, but often the most scientific treatment is surpassed by the medicinal properties of the good old fashioned roots and herbs contained in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If any complication exists it pays to write the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for special free advice.

BETTER THANCALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They arc the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So' do, strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but jto let Dr Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipation and* a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel “loggv” and "heavy." Note how they "clear” clouded brain and how they “perk tin" the spirits, ’ 10c and 25c a box. All druggists.

TRULY A WONDERFUL SOIL Remarkable Things That Are Credited to Ground of the Great State of Nebraska. The soil In the little valley among the Brown county hills Is admittedly rich In productivity, but it In ns arid an the Snhnrii desert when compared with the soil of Nebraska, If oue man's testimony may be believed. A former Brown county farmer, now living In Nebraska, was Halted us to the productiveness of the soil on his uew fiinn. "Never saw anything like It," wits the reply. “A neighbor Ims to mow the gruss of his sodhousc floor every tiny to find the baby, the gruss grows so tall in the night.” "Pretty tali yarn, that," wns the response. “<>li, that’s nothing! There is a family living near mo that has twin bnbies with a cradle for only n single "iui~lA.' The kl'l that has to sleep on the floor grows twice as fast as the other.” "Your live stock must be wonderful,” was the comment. "It is,” said the Nebraskan, "but, strange to say, the soli seems to have more effect on human beings, Where the soil Is richest a man dues not dare stand on one foot any length of time, lest the font on the ground grow longer than th* other foot. Fact, sir."— Indlanupolis News.

LOONEY’ MEANS ‘MOONEY’ Primitive People Have Habit of Carry. ing an Umbrella at Night to Keep From Getting It. When .Tulin Armstrong Chaloner escaped from a Now York Insane asylum and telegraphed his relatives the pertinent question: “Who’s looney now?" lie merely gave currency to a word and connotation that are much older than our language. “Lunn" is the Latin word for moon, and “lunacy,” which is derived from “hina,” has been attributed to the baneful effect of the moon’s rays since ver.v early times. Just as night air Is thought by primitive people to cause ill health, so the light of the moon Is believed to derange the mind. A strict definition of the word i’luuatie” is ‘’moonstruck.” • In some Latin-American countries, notably Haiti natives eften may be seen carrying umbrellas about with them at night, during the light of the moon, to safeguard their mentality. The Romans had n goddess culled Luna. There is a good English word, “lunambulism." which means “somnambulism attributed to the Influence of the moon.” So “looney” only means “niooney," another way of saying "bereft of reason on account of exposure to ligh| rays reflected from the sun by a dead satelite,” if you insist upon exactness. Subsidizing the Poet. We seem to be as much nt sea in this matter as they were about 120 A. D., when the critic cursed the town for keeping alive s > many poets anti cursed it again for striving so many of them; wanted to know hew a man could behold the horses of the chariot of the sun if he had to grub for a living, and wanted to drive most poets buck to grubbing for a living as soon ns he < bservd their manner of beholding the heroes of the chariot of the sun; said you ought to fatten poets to make them sing, un i became violently angry the moment a fat poet began singing; blamed a rich man for feeding a pet lioij instead of subsidizing some author at mneh less expense, and was all for feeding the author to the lion on reading what he wrote. He wanted authors protected, but the literary choices made by the protector almost drove him mud.—New Republic.

For Invalids. A raw egg is one of the most nutritious of foods, and may be taken easily if the yolk is not broken. A little nutmeg grated upon the egg, a few droits of lemon juice added, some chopped parsley sprinkled over it, or some salt and a dash of cayenne pepper will vary the flavor and ipttke it more palatable when taken as a medicine. In case of intestinal troubles, a partly beaten raw egg, taken at one swallow, is recommended. It is healing to the Inflamed stomach and intestines and relieves the feeling of distress.'Doctors say that four eggs taken in this manner In 2d hours will furnish the best kind of nourishment as well as medicine for the putieiit. Temple to Goddess of Childbirth. One of the most important archnelogical discoveries < f recent years has just been made nt Gcnnoi, near the vale of Temple in Thessaly. The Archaeological society ’ms just unearthed what is plainly a sanctuary to the Goddess Artemis and among the articles found on the spot are some of the most remarkable votive offerings yet discovered. One hun, red thirty-eight marble shafts have inscriptions from which it is plain that the shrine was devoted to Artemis as a goddess of childbirth, "Artemis genltlx.” Unanimous.
