PORT WAYNE. Ind.. March 15.— ; There is an old ada?e Uhat runs sonit? thinp like this: “I’d rather pay the i>utcher than the doctor.” See how well it fits the ease of 'Mrs. Jenny Ramsey, a Fort Wayne woman of •>18 Madison street. Mrs. Ramsey says t/hat she has hut one fault to find with Trutona. the new toni c she has been using and that is this: "her appetite is imast too good, now. “Along about the first of July 1 began having trouble with my ston’adh,” Mrs. Ramsey said. “I commenced having rheumatism pains m my lower limbs. I had Just a fair ippetite but the food I ate didn’t t*tte right and I didn’t seem to be deitv- 1 «ng any benefit from my eating. T would usually feel bloatej after meals

and at times I suffered dizzy spells. Constipation bothered me a sreat deal. My limbs would ache terribly

at times.

“I’ve noticed that I don’t feel tired out and dcaggy since taking Trutona. My appetite is most too goo* I now. My food tastes better than It did !in,| I am getting more good out of it. 1 haven’t Ihad a dizzy spell since first taking Trutona, neither am i bothered with constipation or the former bloated feeling. The pains in my legs are greatly relieved. T*m convinced that Trutona will do just what is claimed for it and I’m glad to re c ommend it.” Trutona is now being introduced and explaine,) in Greencastle at R. P. Mullin’s Drug Store.

One of Them Is the Nyiks, the Seeds Germinate on Parent Tree. The mangrove is not the nniy plant In which the problem of dispersal la solved by the seeds beginning to grow on the parent tree. In Hast Africa, says tha London Standard, there is a tree known as the nyika, the seeds ot which germinate on the parent plant. Here it Is the seed leaves which grow first Instead of the root. These form a sort of parachute, by means nf which the young plants are wafted through the air to suitable spots. Some plants preter to do their traveling by soi. If thay are good rtilors, that is. if they can float and stand long immersion in salt water, this is a very effective way of reaching the ends of the earth. Thus tno seeds of a West Indian plant have been picked up In the Hebrides. They have even been picked up on the bleak shores of Spitzenbergen. In these cases the locality has proved unfavorable. but ifhey show how tar plams may travel in this way. Cocoanut plants fringe the shores in tropical regions. Blown from the trees, the cocoanuts float about in the waters. And when, through the labors of the coral polype, or the exertions of the sub-marine volcano, a new island rises In the ocean, then, sooner or later, one of these ocean waifs lands on its shores. It takes root and grows. Is joined by others and presently the new land has its fringe of palm trees. The great double cocoanut, the Coco-de-Mer, was known as an ocean traveler long before the discovery of its native land among the Seychelles. Stranded ou bleaker northern lands, these travelers from the tropics have not lost their power of germinating. The ‘'sea-bean," a waif from the West Indies, often cast on our shores by the gulf stream, has been raised in Kew Gardens from 5<>,eas picked up on the Azores, Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist, again knew of cases where plants had been reared fro pi seeds of tropica! plants cast ashore on his own northern land. The seeds of other plants arc provided with hooks or hrlstbs, by which they adhere to the fur of animals. Among native plant s burdock, common avers and goose pmas travel In this way. The \vo*>! rmylc::, of Hboeur, In France, used to find mv is of modicaga entangled In the fleeces which they Import fi mi Y.:a.’.il. On I." uy, .sown these sc s, in tyite of tlmlr long journey, v-re four. 1 to grow. Oilier plants travel wiTt the birds. And since in their annual Immigrations many specie ; cover immense distance—in some co s trom north polar to sooth F ilar di trict - i.eods may he scattered for and w.de by their trails. Again, one of the moat puzzling facts to the boo: t or Ireland is tho occurrence of one or two American plants And at rr.ro Intervals certain species of American birds are shot in the same country. Put these two facts together, and the former is, perhaps, explained. Awkward for the Mayoress. The wife of an English manufacturer who had risen from the ranks to the dizzy eminence of a mayoralty invited ail the principle townspeople to a grand ball, and stood in resplendent attire at the head of the stairs to receive her guests. One of the last to arrive was a woman who had years before worked side by side in a mill with the mayi r -s. Thrusting out a large red hand, she cried in a loud voice, plainly! audible everywhere: “I’ve said all through that 1 wouldn’t patronize your ball. ‘A'-rlet lass, seein that you were mean cuougu not to ax me; but this mornin’, over my second cup o’ tea, I says to myself, 'Happen poor 'Arriet, who never could dance any better than an .elephant, will want somebody as homely herself’ to talk to while tho tine ladies and gentlemen are in the ballroom.' So tor old limes’ sake I pocketed the If suit, put on my best blouse, and come i!"

HOW TO GUT BEST RBSULT3.

John Burns’ New Suit. When speaking in London John Burna once had on a new suit whi»h attracted the attention of one of the .udlence, who sneerlngty remarked that agitation seemed to pay. So Mr. Burns told him how he cam'; to get tho new garments. It appeared that a r-pre?ciitatlve of a famous waxvo" t. show waited on tiuu for permi ■ on to exhibit him In wax and alzu for the old suit lie was waring in order to make the pier-entmcnt more natural. This the member of Battersea was willing enough to part with, except for the fact that It was tho only suit he possessed. An exchange rati, factory to both parties was speedily arranged and Burns naa a new suit, l.at r an agent of a rival waxworks establishment came on u similar errand and another exchange was .-peediiy effected.

Parliamentary Ctlguctte. No member of the Britt h pnrtDrnent !s permitted to say bluntly and directly that another is drunk, but he may hint nt the fee*’in periphrase, r,s wlien Mr. Gladstone, replying to an unconventional speech of Disraeli's, remarked: "The right honorable gentinman has evidently had acccEs to, sources of Inspiration that arc not open to n:c." A violent scene has been caused tn the parliament of Victoria, Australia, by a labor member saying of a lc;al eollenguM "The hononhie and learned gentleman was once iii.cd to the bar anil lie hue slnco gone frequently without being called." The angry barrister retorted; “Yon tea-drinking skunk!” Eventually both withdrew and apoiolized.

It Is probably true as claimed by some that corn has done more damage to farmers so far ns the production of -ggs is concerned than can be estimated, and that loss corn would result in more eggs. In England, whete corn cannot be used to a great extern and where barley and wheat take its place, there is a higher average of eggs than in this country, due to the 'aried foods allowed. The farmer who has corn will feud it and has fapl, in 9. He knows that corn !s one of the hies ings the farmer has. Had that .'ill classes of stock relish it. Yet It would he well for ,!, e farmer to consider that while corn has no superior for fattening stock, it is not r. suitable foml for the production of eggs without the use of other grains. As a winter is iully on and the weather is cold, torn will warm the body of the fowl and greatly assist in egg produrtidu f orn and a variety of food should be tm* rule in winter. Th- elements of ash and protein are large,y in the body of a fowl also in I he make-up of the egg, and the poul try-raiser should know that fesds that consist largely of ash or miners] matter, and protein should be fed. They need not balance by the scale, hut by results obtained, which the poultry, raiser can soon solve. Wheat, oats and barley contain ash and protein in fair amounts and are good grains to feed. Corn should bo used as a healer and graded according to the I weather. Whole corn is better in win- j ter than cracked, as it retains all the I protein, some being lost when crack- ' '•d. In concent v.-Ued feeds which shouid ! be fed in dry form or dry mash, and 1 •ie placed in hoppers so that the birds ' can eat nf any time, a mixture of bran, j middlings, alfalfa meal and 15 per cent of beef scraps make a good ration. Add pulverized charcoal to the : dry mash. Too often the poullrv-rais- i •v feeds well and this Is counterbal- ' a need by poorly constructed poultry buildings.

POiATOES AS HOG FEED. When Prices are Low Surplus Pota toes May B; Used Advantageously with Other Feeds. Because of the surplus of while or Iri.-ii potatoes now on Hie market and the consequent low- prices, many farm»)s have been seeking information .as to Hie posidbilitly of tceding them to nogs. Many experiments have been conducted In Germany and other foreign countries a-- well as a few in the United States to determine the value of potatoes as feed for swine. In Ireland and Germany farmers feed large quantities of potatoes annually. From experimental data It has been roncludcd that 4 to 4 1-2 bushel of potatoes when cooked are equal to about onr bushel of eorn for putting gains on hogs. Therefore, if eorn is worth 80 cents a bushel, potatoes when fed to hog wopld be worth only IK to 20 eents a bushel. There may,.however b' 1 instances where it would be morn advantageous for the farmer to feed to hogs right on his own plaeo gf least part of his crop rather than to haul these potatoes to an already overload ed market. According to the consensus of opin I'-n, potatoes are fed to Hie best advantage when cooked or steamed ard mixed with Other feeds. Experiments In which raw potatoes were fed alone have been reported. In certain instances the raw potatoes are said to hare caused scours. Howerer, raw potatoes in small quantities snd in a diet lacking succulence may be con 'Iactive tr health In pigs. In cooking potatoes only enough water should be used to make a mealy mash tthd prevent burning The resultant meal should then be mixed wiili corn meal or other grain supplement. Tankage, skim milk, or meat meal would probably add to *he profit of the mixture. Potatoes x hen prepared In the manner describe J and under the conditions mentioned can often be fed to pics with advantage. The production of squabs from each pair of In-ed-rs varies from 1 or 2 to as high as 10 or 11 pairs a year, but an average of from 6 to 7 palm Is a lair estimate, although some :0iah breeders do better than this. Uquab* usually sell at the highest prick's during cold weather, as pigeons Jo not Freed as freely during tho wibter m <urius; the spring.

Notes and Comment Of Interest to Women Renders

BADLY COOKED DINNERS.

Olive Green eaye They Are the Cause of “Blue Monday.” Every employer of labor is familiar with the phenomenon of ‘‘blue Mqnday." Not merely the manual laborer, but the clerk, and even the grave and consequential superintendent, generally comes to his work cross and wellntgh useless on Monday. Everything goes wrong on Monday. Why Is It? Generally the phenomenon Is attributed to the fact that the employe has tired himself out getting rested on Sunday. Olive Green, tho celebrated author of the cook books, has a different theory about it. which r.he maintains in her latest volume, “Everyday Dinners.” She scys that It Is the awful and irregular Sunday eating that makes ail the trouble. On week days wa eat a light luncheon or none at all. On Sunday, at an unaccustomed hour—say 2 in the afternoon—we eat a heavy and generally badly cooked meal, which we never got over until about Tuesday morning. The Monday morning headache, universal from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the allday Monday grouch, is a direct result of the disjointed culinary programme of Sunday. in Mtss Green’s opinion, if Sunday were a day of fasting instead of a day of feasting, Monday would be a day of radiant amiability. There may be something in this theory. Try the Sunday fast on your mother-in-law, and see if she does not smile all day Monday!

Table Manners 300 Years Ago. One of the prominent women in fashionable circle* here complainthat we are growing lax in our table manners. ’’We are becoming too free and easy." she says, "and women are to blame. They no longer are dignified and restrained at the table, it. is the exception now to see a woman who does not slip an elbow to the side of the table and carry herself as tf it was the proper th!n,t to do." There may be good reason for this woman's plaint, still it seems we are not beyond redemption in this respect. Indeed from some points of view we seem to be improving, for tn a book of etiquette, published lit London 30i) years ago, thess rules ore set forth: "Every gentleman is expected to clean his spoon on his bread and to refrain from picking his teeth with his knife, and from rubbing his teeth with the tablecloth. A lady shall neither dip her fish nor her meat into the sail cellar, nor got her thumb info the wine.

1U hesUth? „

Yet her first thought must tie & negative one: Never, never tamper too much with the eyes; they are the most delicate organs of the body. Do not put patent "drope" in them when they ache or are tired; do not beglect to wear glasses when you need them; do not go for treatment to an optician, but to an oculist. Never read when lying down, or in a dim light, or unless the light comes from over your left shoulder. All this is an old story to most of us; but some of us seem to need its telling still. Judging from what I have seen women do to those precious eyes .of theirs. There are, of course, simple washes which will not hurt the eyes. Weak bluw'k tea is one; rosewater and plantain Is another, for inflammation; elderberry water for itching. Dotted veils are a curse to the woman wlne-e eyes are weak; but it seems impossible to convince women on thii score. Rubbing the eyes is another bad practice; remember the old advics —“Never rub the eyes with anythinj but the elbow." Thlsg of course, does not include the very beneti. ial circular massage for crowfeet. Eyelashes which arc too thin ran bo thickened by painting them with vaseline, using a small ca i el'g-hair brush. flipping is a dangerous method; about half the time the clipped hair never comes back. Color ing the eyelashes Is also highly dangerous: it is only too ca y for the harmful dye to get into the eye i elf. Treat your eyes well and they v, it repay your efforts; eye strain Hi to headache, nausea and nervo.i •:■ >, rod a consequent loss of beauty through loss of health, lb '.!r ti. ■ eyes directly contribute to the beau’? of the hole person by the ox n and charm they give to the I.

If Your Skin Is Dry. If your skin happens to be dry and harsh have you tried the soc-thins • and smoothing effect of the stvallcd Greek bath? That was a favorite remedy by modern beauty doi'c . Mix seven tablespoonfuls of pure <>ii.« I oil and one of lavender water and rub It well Into the entire body.

The Golden Wedding. The decoration for the beautiful and rare golden anniversary can be planned as described for the silver wedding with the substitution everywhere of gilt for sliver. It causes great amusement if the bride and any of the former bridesmaids who happen to be present wear tho gowns worn at the original ceremony. Borre one of the elders should rend a paper of reminiscences of the earlier day bringing in the changes that have occurred in transportation, manner of living and thought since that time. Tha former gtootn might read a poem commemorating tho happy event of 50 years ago. and the brldo should cut a huge cake with the familiar emblem of marriage, splusterhoort and the like hurled in It. The golden wedding usually ends in a dance for the younger generations.

Good Biography a Tonic. A good tonic for the girt who Is short on ambition and long on frivolities is reading of biographies of men and women who have ‘’arrived" after hard ups and disheartened downs. They reproach her for accepting the limitations of her lot, and sometimes inject into her mind a healthy bacillus uf discontent, says the Chicago Tribune. The girl who enjoys biographies enjoys achievement, and vice versa, for the latter point to the former as a soiree uf inspiration and enlightenment. It is best to read c' .i« doings Of such men and women who have reached the top in your own line of work, f v those make the strongest appeal to your will, and If you cannot read between the lines and pick out pointers for yourself you will at least feel the unexpressed challenge to perk up nd do likewise If not a little better

New Beauty Device. Instead of using hot < hcht or steam to get the face Into condition for massaging, tho latest idea i» to use water charged wi i electricity. The water Is applied through a sponge-like substance at the ead ot two tubes attached to an electric wira or battery. The instrument Is o constructed that surplus molstars is carried off in one of the pipes. The advocates of this method say tliern is no danger of too much relaXinz of the muscles, as in the case with steam, and the heat Is so rcguUted that there is no danger of a.-alding the skin, as with hot clutha. Ear* That Grow. "A curious thing about enrf which the anthropologists have only just made known," says "Science Sifting, "is that they continue to grow through life. A woman with small, sheil-Uk* ears at twenty years of age will bn'’* medium-sized ears at forty and rtttfcei largo ones perhaps, at sixty. •' ,0 ouo knows why ears should bewe In this way.
