Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, are merely symptons of a deeper ailment. Don’t make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment is treating the result of your ailment and not the cause. Weak Stomach nerves—the inside nerves—means Stomach weakness, always. And the Heart, and Kidney’s as well, have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves, and ’you Inevitably have weak vital organs. Here is where Dr. Shoop's Restorative has made its fame, No other remedy even claims to treat the ‘‘inside nerves.*’ Also for bloating, biliousness, bad breath or complexion, use Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Write me today for sample and free book, Racine Wis. The Restorative is sold by A. F. Long'.

WHITECAPS IN COURT

Accused in the Latest Case Give Bonds for Their Appearance for Trial. THEY WILL DEPEND ON ALIBIS Story of a Conviction of the Wrong Man—Husky Octogenarians—- . Indiana Newa. Columbus, Ind., Aug. I.—Jacob Kirk. David Fox, Lovell Bowers and Chas. Sylvester, all living In Monroe county near Smithville, were here yesterday morning accofnpanled by ex-Rep-resentative Robert Miers. of Bloomington, their attorney. They appeared before Justice Kinney and waived preliminary hearing and gave bond in the sum of SI,OOO each, to appear Tuesday, Aug. 13. The men brought bonds signed by Monroe county men of ample means, but these bonds would not be accepted by the prosecuting attorney and the court unless they had the signatures of some local men. Ixical Attorney Makes 'Em Good. Lion J. Cox, a local attorney, who is interested in some of the other defendants; signed the bonds and they were accepted by the court. William P. Vanest, the man who was white capped, was in the court room at the time the four men gave bond and while they said nothingVanest believes he recognized one or two of them as having been at his home the night he was whipped. One man in particular he thinks is the one who pulled him out of bed. Great la the Alibi. It Is said they will attempt to show that they were elsewhere on the night of the whitecapping, and that they are ready to prove an alibi. Tn this con nection a local attorney who has had considerable experience with Brown county whitecappers is telling a story He says that several years ago a man was arrested for assisting in the whit* capping of Ids son. The man was rath er aged ,and walked with a cane. He never bad anything to do with the wbitecapping. and maintained constant ly that he was innocent, but when the trial was finished be was convicted and sentenced to a term In jail. How They Secured His Convfctieo. A year or so afterward the whitecappers told bow the conviction was obtained. One of their number was a good mimic, and he dressed on the night of the whitecapping in some cast off clothing of the accused man. He wore a mask, below which some white ■whiskers reached, and lie walked with a long cane, such as was used by the accused. The likeness was so great that theman’s own grandchildren swore on the witness stand to having seen their grandfather help whip their father.

BROODER CHICKS.

Methods Employed by a Capable Poultry Woman In Raising Them. Mrs. C. B. Walker of Brownsburg, Ind., thus explains her method of raising brooder chicks for the benefit of the readers of American Poultry Journal: The first thing after the chicks are out of the shell and dry we take them to the brooder, being sure the heat is not less than 95 degrees. We never feed until the chick is' about forty-eight hours old; then we give dry breadcrumbs mixed with hard boiled egg, and a little bit of black pepper also. I dry the eggshell and pulverize this and mix in feed, which I find the chicks are very fond of. This we feed for two or three days, with plenty of water or milk. The chicks should be fed only as much as they can eat clean, allowing no food to be left over, as It is better to feed three or four times a day. We cover the floor of the brooder with paper, as this can easily be removed with all filth and burned, this being done every day. After the chicks are a week old we make corn bread, as for table use, using pepper and eggshell for grit This may be given three times a day “or as often as chicks are hungry,” with a little fresh meat ground fine. We always keep a small pan of grit in brooder so chicks can go to this at will. Now, to the brooder we attach a box for a run, the box being four feet long and one and a half feet wide. In this we have plenty of alfalfa litter on floor, with small grain, such as Kaffir corn, cracked corn or wheat thrown in, so this will give the little chicks plenty of exercise. When they are a week old, we raise the small door of brooder and let them Into this run, which you will find they greatly enjoy. At three weeks we begin to give potatoes, cabbage or any convenient vegetable for green food. We also find they are very fond of onion chopped fine. We never feed sloppy foods or mashes to young chicks, as we think are the cause of so much bowel trouble. Right here let me say I find nothing so good for this trouble as ginger tea—a teaspoonful of ginger, with a teacupful of boiling water, after cooling. You will find the chicks are fond of this. Be sure there is no other water they can get to. We give this drink often while trouble lasts, if it appears. It will be all right to give them this drink once a week until five or six weeks old. Keep before them plenty of grit and charcoal, and as far as feeding is concerned the chicks will grow to be healthy and happy if everything connected with the brooder is kept perfectly dean. After the flrat week we reduce the temperature of brooder to 75 degrees and the fourth week to about 00 degrees.

Dicta For Duck Raisers.

Ducks are much easier raised than chickens. They are not retarded In growth by the many diseases the chicks must contend with. The best remedy for duck ailments Is plenty of sliced raw onion in the mash, and a dry, soft bed. When you desire ducks for egg production have four to five ducks with an unrelated drake. Two ducks and one drake produce toe large a percentage of drakes.

“Do not let the ducks run with fowls. Disease is sure to visit the chickens that are allowed to drink from the vessel the ducks have paddled in. Always catch a duck by the neck; too often their legs are broken by being caught by them.

Male and Female Guineas.

Authorities on guinea raising claim that it is always best, no matter how small a flock you may have, to have two or more males running with the hens. As a rule one cock guinea is enough for every four hens, but sometimes the birds will pair. Some breeders claim that it is best to breed them in pairs. There is only one absolutely certain way of telling the male from the female and that is by the call or cry. The female has a peculiar call which is never uttered by the male and resembles “Buckwheat” or “Come Back.” The call of the male is a shrill, rasping scream.

Preserving Eggs.

Eggs should keep quite well for two or three months In a cool dry cellar. They would deteriorate somewhat in that time, but would probably be stale, not decomposed. Eggs in cold storage are kept in a cold dry air. Dampness in the storage rooms will affect the pasteboard fillers in the cases and impart a most disagreeable odor and taste of wet brown cardboard to the eggs. So far as I have seen reports of tests with water glass, says a writer in Farm-Poultry, the eggs have been put in stone jars and the jars covered.

Why Keep Mongrels?

If the production of eggs is the most valuable branch of poultry culture, how, asks the Feather, can any one who may.be engaged even to a greater or less extent in their production bf so shortsighted, so foolish, So careless, or so neglectful of their own intertests, as to brush aside the only valuable feature of success, and to hold on to the mongrel product, which scarcely ever pays for Its keep?

How to Make the Molt Easy.

Having fowls come through the molt in good condition Is wholly a matter of good food and care, backing up (or supporting) the naturally good constitutional strength and vigor. In other words, it is having the birds in first class condition when they go Into the molt and then helping them by good food and good care.

American Varieties the Beat.

The British Fancier thinks that the American varieties of fowls—the Rocks and Wyandottes—are the best general purpose fowls In existence.
