A LETTER FORWOMEN From a Woman Whose Serious DL ness Was Overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Garnett, Kas.—“l first took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for a ■ complete nervous breakdown following the birth of my oldest child. I got up too soon which caused serious female trouble. I was so weak that I was not able to be on my feet but very little l and could not do my housework at all. 1 had a bad pain in my lef t side and it would pain terribly if I stepped off a curb-stone. One day one of your booklets was thrown in the yard and I read every word in it There were so many who had been helped by your medicine that I wanted to try it and my husband went to town and got me a bottle. It seemed as though I felt relief after the second dose, so I kept on until I had taken five bottles and by that time I was as well as I could wish. About a year later I gave birth to a ten pound boy, and have had two more children since and my health has been fine. If I ever have trouble of any kind I am going to take your medicine for I give it all the praise for my good health. I always recommend your medicine whenever I can. Mra. EVA E. Shay, Garnett, Kansas.

USE OF CONVENIENT HOME-MADE DEVICES SWELLS PROFITS FROM POULTRY FLOCK

Round Coops Are to Be Preferred to A-Shaped Ones.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In a certain small town which needs no name, live William Black and John Smith. They are next-door neighbors and good friends, although totally unlike in temperament and disposition. Last year both of them became convinced of the value of a back yard -poultry flock and each decided to Install chickens in his own spacious back yard to supply his family with eggs and broilers. Mr. Black is the type of man who always quotes w’hen anyone lifts an eyebrow at some of his extravagant purchases, “that the best is always the cheapest in the end." Mr. Smith, on the other hand, believes that often acheaper article will serve the purpose equally well and that the difference in cost looks well in his savings account book. Standardbred Fowls Selected. When it came to selecting a flock Mr. Smith and Mr. Black were agreed that standardbred fowls would more than pay for their increased initial expense by producing more eggs than

would mongrels, so they arranged with a local chicken breeder for flocks of a good egg-producing strain. He was to deliver the birds as soon as accommodations were ready for them. On the matter of housing, the prospective poultry keepers held widely divergent views. Mr. Black hired a carpenter at $6 a day to erect for him a good-looking, nicely finished poultry house. When the last coat of paint was op it truly was as his high-school son declared it to be, “a work of art.” A house so perfectly finished demanded the best equipment and Mr. Black bought it. The number of things which he discdvered, with the aid of a salesman, that a properly brought up flock of chickens should have was

FARMERS ENABLED TO REDUCE LIVING COST

Food, Fuel and Shelter Contributed Direct by Farm. No Han Seems Complete Without Its Family Garden, and Eggs and Milk Are Used in Preparing Meals— Other Economies. * Why can the farmer continue In business when the financial summary of his operations show, at the end of the year, a margin of profit so small as to be insufficient to support his family? It is because of the food, fuel and shelter furnished the family by the farm. “These contributions,” says the United States department of agriculture, “are not a cash receipt from the farm business, but they enable the farmer to reduce materially the cash cost of living.” So far as food, fuel and shelter are concerned twothirds of the farmer’s living is furnished directly by the farm. The food retained for family use may be raised especially for the family or may be taken from the regular farm products raised for market No farm plan seems complete without its family garden. A part of the day’s supply of milk and a part of the day’s collection of eggs Is used in preparing meals for the family. Similarly, other food products are diverted to the pantry, cellßr, or smoke house, instead of being sent to town to be sold. The farm wood lot condemned fruit trees, discarded fence rails and posts, and

amazing to his family and depleting to his purse. Mr. Smith, on the other hand, decided that he could build his own poultry house with the aid of his son. He procured two piano boxes and some smaller packing cases and they set to work. Both were handy with tools and In a short time the piano boxes had been converted into a comfortable, sanitary domicile for the chickens. The piano box house had been located In a corner of the yard, where the fence which was already there would serve for two sides of the yard. A few posts and some chicken netting completed the Inclosure. Quickgrowing vines were planted and soon screened the yard and poultry house from view and the little shed served Its, purpose well. Both Flocks Did Well. Both flocks were given good care and did well and the Black and Smith families enjoyed the strictly fresh poultry products. At the end of the year, however, Mr. Black declared that only a rich man could afford to keep poultry in the city. He was discussing the subject;, with Mr. Smith: “Ofl course, strictly fresh eggs taste better than you can buy, but heavens, man, their cost! All we had cost me about a dozen, not to mention my work In caring for the flock. No, sir, no more back-yard poultry keeping for me. I can’t afford It” Then Mr. Smith spoke up: “Your trouble is that of many others who go into poultry raising. You spend too much on the house and equipment Nests made out of orange boxes or coops made out of barrels may not look as elegant,as those you can buy but they serve their purpose and cost almost nothing. My accounts show that the eggs my flock produced cost us much less than we could have bought them on the market for aside from the flock Itself, you see I had little capital invested in the project.” “I guess you are right,” said Mr. Black, “but I do like everything around my place to be well built.” “So do I,” retorted Mr. Smith, “but until I have a larger income I fear I can’t have everything I want When I built that shack over there for my chickens," he continued, “I didn’t have any guide to go by, but the other day I picked up a United States department of agriculture farmers’ bulletin that tells all about back yard poultry keeping, and it gives instructions about making just such a house as I made. I see they recommend inexpensive housing for .back-yard flocks. It Is Bulletin No. 889, and anyone can get it without cost by writing for it. Wish I had had a copy when I built for it would have proven mighty helpful.”

pruning wood furnish fuel for cooking and heating. These perquisites are not furnished altogether frde of cost to the farmer. They represent labor and invested capital. Much of the labor, however, is performed at times when the work of the main farm business is not very pressing, and frequently a considerable part of it is done by women or children. Thus the actual money cost of these things to the farmer is insignificant or at most is considerably less than it would be if they were bought. Pictures and descriptions of important methods followed tjy farmers in utilizing the food, fuel, shelter and other things that the farm furnishes free of money cost are published by the United States department of agriculture in Farmeps’ Bulletin 1082, Home Supplies Furnished by the Farm. Copies may be had free from the division of publications, United States department of agriculture.

Old Gentleman Had Particular Use for That Peculiarly AtrociousLooking Beetle. On the counter of the Christmas bazaar stood all the usual horrors which an unscrupulous world insists on giving the poor kiddies as “toys.” There were animals, birds and insects which resembled nothing save the creatures of a particularly fierce nightmare. The customer steadied himself by a chair and’ after a careful selection, picked up one specially terrible beetle. •Til take that,” he told the assistant. “How much is it?” “Half a dollar!” replied the girl. “Is it for your little boy?” “No; I want to take It to a dinner party I have to attend.” /‘Whatever for?” exclaimed the girl, surprised out of her carefully acquired -Calais——- :■■■<- ' * / “Well, I’m going to stand it in front of me on the table when the drinks are going round and when I see two beetles —well, it’s time to go home 1"

WILLING TO STRIKE BARGAIN

Wife Quite Ready to Abandon Style if Her Hubby Would Only Do His Part. She was one of those dressy women who always wear Jie latest thing, whether it suits her oi< not - One day her hat touched her nose; next week It rested on the back of her neck. Her last frock barely ebvered her shoe tops, her new ones huddled round her ankles. Oh, she was always “it!” Her husband was no passive resister. Regularly he raised his voice ln_ protest at each craving after fashion.' But the one thing that really annoyed him was when she suddenly scraped her hair straight back from her forehead on top and trained it down like window curtains on each side of her face. “Look here!” he said in exasperation. “Can’t I Induce you to stop wearing your hair over your cars?” “Certainly!” she replied, with a charming smile. “Buy me diamond earrings.”

No Buried Trouble.

Prayed for Cure Finds it After 10 Years Food Would Sour and Boil —Teeth Like Chalk

Mr. Herbert M. Gessner writes from his home in Berlin, N. H.: I had stomach trouble over ten years; kept getting worse. I tried everything for relief but it came back worse than ever. Last fall I got awfully bad; could only eat light loaf bread and tea. In January I got ao bad that wh»t I would eat would sour and boil; my teeth would be like chalk. I suffered terribly. I prayed every day for something to cure me. One day I read about EATONIC and told my wife to get me a box at the drug store as I was going to work at 4 p. m. I took one-third’of it and began to feel relief; when it was three-fourths gone, I felt fine and when it was used up I had no pains. Wife got me another box but I have felt the pain but twice. I used five tablets out of'the new box and I have no more stomach trouble. Now I write to tell you how thankful I am that I heard of EATONIC. I feel like a new man; I eat what I like, drink plenty of water, and it never hurts ms at all. J
