Pain Is congestion, pain is blood pressure—nothing else usually. At least, so says Dr. Shoop, and to prove it he has created a little pink tablet. That tablet—called Dr. Shoop’s Headache Tablet—coaxes blood pressure away from pain centers. Its effect Is charming, pleasingly delightful. Gently though safely, It surely equalizes the blood circaIf yon have a headache, It's blood pressure. If if s painful periods with women, same cause. If you are sleepless, restless, nervous, it’s blood •ongeetion—blood pressure. That surely is a certainty, for Dr. Shoop'g Headache Tablets stop ft In 20 minutes, and the tablets simply distribute the unnatural blood pressure.

TURKEY BROILERS.

How the Poults May Sometimes Be Disposed of to Advantage. People living In locations where It would be very embarrassing to care for large flocks of roaming turkeys during the late fall may yet raise large flocks Of poults to broiler size and then dispose of them at a splendid profit before they can become a nuisance to the neighbors, says Mrs. R. E. Florea In Inland Poultry Journal. Good prices may now be obtained for turkeys at any time of the year, the February, March and April markets often bringing more satisfactory returns for hens and late small toms than the holiday markets. In regard to the selection of breeding stock, the hens should be strong and healthy, of medium size. Do not have them abnormally large. Indeed, I consider overlarge hens so unprofitable that were I compelled to use either undersized or unnaturally large females I would choose the former as giving me the best chance, for In that case I could be reasonably sure of eggs and chicks In numbers. Most of the large hens produce but few eggs and mostly Infertile. I prefer pullets that will weigh without being fat, simply in good laying condition, about seventeen pounds each at laying time. Such pullets will grow into mature hens of twenty-one and twenty-two pounds each, which is the best weight for profitable hens. The male should not be too large In proportion to the females of his yard. If your females are small and you wish to Improve your stock, by all moans secure a medium sized male for the first year. This advice is worth heeding, as it may save you disappointment and loss. The male should be a cockerel, and if he Is pure bred aud has been bred right—that is, with plenty of constitutional vigor—the offspring from this mating will prove sufficiently large to justify you iu saving the nicest pullets to keep over, and then secure a large male for the second mating.

Winter Layers.

That it is possible to obtain birds that lay well during the winter months is evident from the oft recorded report of birds that lay more than 200 eggs in the course of a year, au average that is only possible by a fair return during such months, says W. R. Gilbert in Philadelphia Farm Journal. Winter layers are obtainable by hatching birds early in the year and then-helping the pullets through the molt by the judicious use of nutritious foods. The word “judicious” is the key to the situation. Too much food spoils the layer’s eggs. It cannot be too freely reiterated that laying hens should be maintained in a lean, hard condition and on no account be allowed to become fat and flabby.

Fowl Yard Chatter.

The sitting hen does not get fat, but she serves a useful purpose all the same. .Remember that neatness in the poultry yards pays In dollars and cents. Geese and turkeys require plenty of range and ordinarily will not pay unless this can be provided. Salt butter given early in the day before other food will cure ns well as prevent gapes. As soon as the young turkeys are reasonably well feathered one of the best places for them is in the orchard. Never wash eggs that are to be set. The shells are very porous and will absorb sufficient water to spoil them. If eggs taken from under a hen have rotted, It Is proof that they were fertile.

To Keep Out, the Red Mites.

We have finally succeeded in keeping the red chicken mite out of our poultry house, says George O. Brown in Philadelphia Farm Journal. We do It with two sets of perches, leaving one set out in the weather while the other one Is In use. The custom of the mite Is to repose on the under side of the perches and crawl upon the fowls at night when they are roosting. Changing about several times a year gives fresh, clean perches upon which the fowls gjay roost. This plan also obviates any danger from fowls becoming Infected with disease, as scaly leg, etc.

Chickens In Summer.

■Chickens to do well In summer should have shade. Plum trees that attain maturity in a little time and are not objectionably tall make excellent shade for the hen yard. Any thick leaved, branching shrubbery, under which the Biddies may retreat, is de slrable. Gooseberry bushes are very good, but the flowering currant or bush honeysuckle that sprouts and spreads and grows rank and tall is the best shrub for shading.

The Dust Bath.

To keep tbe sitting hens In good health and good humor they need more exercise at this season than they commonly get. Too steady sitting and resitting make a sitter ill natured. A dust bath gives the incubating ben exercise and keeps down lice, that breed so rapidly. A. dusting place should be provided for hens ail the year through.

An Excellent Mash.

An excellent mash can be made by mixing equal parts measure of corn meal and shorts with sufficient ground oats and middlings to stick the mash together without making it gummy or doughy. Vegetables, cut clover or alfalfa may form about 10 to 15 per cent of this mash, and meat food like beef scrap from 5 to 10 per cent.

Milk and Water.

Milk, It should be remembered, is a food, not a drink, aqd as much or more water is needed where milk is given as when it Is not

RIDGLEY’S REPRISAL.

By Edna Kerr.

Copyrighted, 1007, by M. M.Cunnlugham.

Herbert Morrow, bent And careworn, passed the parlor door. His daughter Daisy smiled up at him as he glanced at her In passing, but the smile turned into a sigh as the bowed figure vanished. “Is the run on the bank serious?” asked Deguon. "Your father looks very bad." “I am afraid that It is serious,” she answered. She was engaged to Degnon and trusted bis discretion. “I Baw the .evening papers,” he said, “but I thought that It A'as Just a sensational playing up of an incident. May I go in and see Mr. Morrow?” “I wish you would,” she said. “I seem so helpless. I think he would like to talk it over with a man.” The banker looked up wearily as Degnon entered the library. He liked this clean cut young chap, who had come to Midvale to take charge of the electric plant. Degnon went directly to the matter at issue. “I have come to see if I can be of any service,” he began. “I have some $20,000 that I can get hold of by tomorrow.” “Too little, but I thank you, my boy,” said the president of the Union bank; “Is there no way out?” persisted Degnon. “Just how does the matter stand?” “It is a plot of Ridgley’s,” began the banker. “It cannot be proven, but he practically owns the Provident Savings bank as well as the First National.” “That is news to me,” said Degnon. “And to most others. For some reason lUdgley does not want his connection with the Provident bank known. Now, Just at present there Is a heavy demand for money on short time loans. The high rates of interest have led both the Provident and my own bank, the Union, to send all of our surplus to the city banks. Ridgley sees his chance to put me out of business by starting a run. He knows that there is not

enough money In either bank to meet a run, but the First National will help the Provident. I shall have to suspend until I can recall the money on deposit In the city.” ‘‘l think I see,” mused Degnon. “Both banks need money. The Provident can get it from its sister bank. Your Union will have to admit its inability to pay depositors. They turn shaky about your bank and go to the rival Institution.” “That’s part of the scheme. The rest is this: Next week the Interest accrues. If-there is a run and the money is withdrawn, this interest Is lost to the depositor. The First National will get the use of the money until the scare is over. They announced tonight that their interest would be paid. When the scare is over they will cut off the interest and send the money back to their savings bank, while in the meantime the standing of my bank is lost.” '‘There is Just one thing to be done,” said Degnon, producing a blank form. “Put electricity into your bank.” “How will that help?” asked the banker. “It is a sign of enterprise, but) I am afraid In a few days I shall have no bank to light.” Degnon smiled. “I have an idea,” he explained. “I think it is a good one.” With trembling hand Morrow signed the contract, and Degnon rose to go. In the hall he stopped to say good night to Daisy and explain that he had to see some one on business on his way home; hence his haste. The some one was the mayor’s secretary. and as a result of the visit a permit was issued the following morning as soon as the office opened to tear up the street for the purpose of Installing the light service in the Union bank. Already a little knot of depositors had gathered in front of the two savings banks when the construction gang put in an appearance. The First National. In which Kidgley was silently Interested, occupied a corner building, and the Union, Morrow’s bank, adjoined it. Bidgley’s savings bank, the Provident, stood diagonally opposite, and it was in front of the Provident that the men began to dig to tap the main feeder. The men worked stolidly on, unmindful of the excitement around them. At the Union, Morrow was pay-

log off slowly to defer the announce* ment of suspension, in the hope that help might come. At the Provident, on the other hand, an extra force kept the line moving briskly, pacing off as rapidly as the money coffin be counted Hot. Clerks were busy bringing up money from the vaults'downstairs, and over In the First National other clerks were receiving the money and opening new accounts. Ridgley had devised the scheme as reprisal against Morrow. His son had been Daisy’s favored suitor until Degnon had stepped in and cut him out. Ridgley liid not forgiven tho banker for the fancied slight and, with his usual business Instinct, was making his revenge profitable. It was nearly noon when a clerk dashed out of the Provident and hurried Into the First National. In a moment he came out again, accompanied by Ridgley himself. They were making their way to the Provident through the crowd when suddenly Ridgley stopped at tlie edge of the excavation. One of the laborers, an Italian, was working with a crowbar at the bottom of the pit, seeking to dislodge the bar from some obstruction It had encountered. Ridgley shouted excitedly to the man, who smiled pleasantly Into his face and began to climb out of the pit.

Tho crowd left the line and crowded around the opening. The Italian was waving his permit, blandly coufident of his rights, and In his excitement Ridgley could not make himself understood. At last the Italian seemed to comprehend aud, dropping back Into the seized a pickax and smashed through the obstruction, proudly handing out a bulky cy.inder, n&w gaping wide to show its ! ad of crisp bills. “No taka da mon’,” explained the Italian. "Hones’ man. Ver’ hones’ man. No taka da mon’.” Iu a flash the crowd understood. The Provident was meeting the run by paying out money sent under the street from the First National. The money was making an endless chain, being paid out over and over again. Half a dozen meu in the crowd !>egan to explain how the bank was profiting by the evasion of interest, and lUdgley retired hurriedly. With the crowd In Its present temper he was not anxious to be within its reach. A little talk would precipitate a riot. But Degnon .had planned skillfully, and his orators talked just enough to check the run on the Union. There were muttered threats, but the drain was stopped, and a back flow of depositors was started toward the Union. Ridgley’s reprisal bad proved a boomerang. That evening Degnon explained to Daisy and her father his inspiration. “I was looking over the installation in the First National,” be told them, "and I saw that there was a pipe -of the pneumatic system that led out of the building. . “I thought it odd at the time, and when you spoke of the relations between the two banks I realized the game. They could shift the money back and forth as it was needed, and no one was the wiser. I got a permit to open the street and drove a crowbar through the pipe. That was ajl.” “I should like to give something to that Italian foreman,” said Daisy. “You might give him a kiss,” suggested Degnon. “At college I was one of the stars of the dramatic club.” “You were the foreman?” cried Daisy. “You shall have a dozen kisses.” And she made no protest at Degnon’s prompt collection.

The Round Robin.

The “round robin” had its origin several centuries ago in France. It was used there by officers of the army as a method of expressing their dissatisfaction with the course of the king or his ministers. By signing in a circular form the leaders of the movement could not be ascertained and singled out for punishment. The first instance on record of the use of this form of protest In the navy occurred in 1025. At the Instigation of the Duke of Buckingham, the king’s favorite, an English fl<>et. under Admiral Bennington, was dispatched to Itochelle to assist in the coercion of the Protestant subjects of I.ouls XIII. of France. But the English tars, in common with their fellow countrymen, looked with favor upon the resistance of their coreligionists against the proselyting zeal of the French king, and they signed a “round robin” expressing their determination not to firg a shot against them, and without waiting for a reply they weighed anchor and brought their ships back to England. The admiral, however, received a peremptory order to return to Dieppe, whereupon the whole of the crews quitted the ships without further parley.—London Standard.

Effect of Imagination.

When Sir Joseph Fayrer was with hia ship In the Bahamas he landed on an island, left the boat on shore and went Inland exploring. Presently, to hia dismay, he saw the boat drifting out to sea. He rushed down to the water’s edge, divested himself of all but, some cotton underclothing and plunged in. As he swam something appeared to seize his leg, and he remembered in an instant that the sea swarmed with sharks. He nearly sunk with horror, fully persuaded that his leg was gone. But, mastering his fear, he swam on to the boat Then he found that his alarm had been paused by a tape with which his underclothing was tied below the knee. It had come unfastened, and the supposed shark bite was only a wet tape winding and unwinding abont his leg.
