Nervous Indigestion The action of digestion is controlled by nerves leading to the stomach. When they are weak, the stomach is deprived of its energy. It mis no power to do its work. If you want permanent relief, jou must restore this energy. Dr. Miles’ Nervine restores nervous energy, and gives the organs power to perform their functions. "For many years I was an acute sufferer from nervous indigestion; at times I was so despondent life seemed ■ almost a burden. I tried all kinds of remedies and various physicians with little or no relief, until one night last summer I saw Dr. Miles’ Nervine ana Heart Cure advertised. I resolved to make one more trial which I did in the purchase of one bottle of Nervine and one es Heart Cure. In a few days I began to feel better, which encouraged me so much that I continued the medicine until I had taken more than a dosen bottles. I am very much improved in every way; in body, mind and spirits since. I make a special point to recommend the medicine, ana I feel a sincere pleasure in knowing that several persons have been benefited through my recommendations." A. S. MELTON. Ashville. N.

Constipation Baked sweet apples, with some people, bring prompt relief for Constipation. With Others, coarse all-wheat bread will have the same effect. Nature undoubtedly has a vegetable remedy to relieve every .ailment known to man, if physicians can but find Nature’s way to health. And this Is Strikingly true with regard to Constipation. The bark of a certain tree in California—Ckseara Sagrada—offers a most excellent aid to this end. But. combined with Egyptian Benna, Slip. Pery Elm Bark. Solid Extract of Prunes, etc., this same Cascara bark is given its greatest possible power to correct constipation.

attacked In this way. If the plan proves successful It is probable that the Standard Oil company will be attacked next This new Hue of warfare will be pursued against corporations violating the Sherman law. Hitherto these concerns have felt little alarm over the government’s activity, because the infliction of fines was all that the government could obtain, aud fines, while inconvenient, were not fatal. Injunctions and receiverships will be an entirely different matter. The mere threat of such a thing is likely to cause great uneasiness among the trusts, bat it is not a mere threat, but the definite determination of a programme. Both Mr. Bonaparte and Mr. Purdy believe that this line of action will do more to enforce the Sherman law than anything that has been devised or any new law that could be pnt upon the statute books. Mr. Purdy is a native of Ohio, but now hails from Minnesota. He Is for-ty-one years old and has been assistant to the attorney general of the United States for the past two years.

Cause and Effect. “One Fourth of July,” said Senator Beveridge in the course of an after dinner speech In Indianapolis, “two men got into an argument about the Liberty bell in Philadelphia. “’lt is admitted,’ said the first, ‘that the man who rang this bell to proclaim liberty throughout the land dropped dead for joy.’ “ ‘But,’ said the other, ‘did you ever actually hear of such a thing as a man being killed by Joy?’ “ ‘Well,’ was the reply, ‘I once heard of a chap who was found dead on his mother-in-law’s grave.’ ” Miss Beaks, Panama Invsstigator. The wide experience of Miss Gertrude Beeks, who was appointed special commissioner by Secretary Taft to investigate conditions surrounding the Panama canal employees, admirably qualifies her for the task. For many years Miss Beeks has been a student along just such lines. Miss Beeks Is secretary of the welfare department of the Civic federation, a position won after long delving In the fields of sociology, sanitary science and Industrial questions. She Is favorably known In the labor world

Since then her social studies have taken her to most of the large manufacturing centers. In Panama she will look into the boosing, food and recreations of the workers as well as their physical and moral welfare.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Clipping Alfalfa. The information we have concerning the clipping of alfalfa during the first season Is too contradictory to permit of l maklng any geneful rule, says a receipt bulletin of the Indiana experiment station. It seems, however, that clipping has sometimes been overdone and that young alfalfa should rather be allowed to grow undisturbed so long as It is doing well and does not bloom. With early seeding one clipping In the latter part of August will generally be advisable. Otherwise clipping should only be practiced when the growth seems checked or the tops of the plants turn yellow. If not too heavy the cut material should be left on the ground'to act as a mulch. All growth after the middle of September should be allowed to die down naturally for protection to the roots over winter. Shsep Nssd Plenty of Water. It is a mistaken Idea that sheep do not need much water. The contrary la the case. A private experiment showed convincing evidence that sheep drink as much water in proportion t« size as any other farm animal. In August and September a flock of 150 ewes with the same number of lambs were put in a pasture, and they drank a trough of water every day that held 210 gallons, nearly 1.5/average per ewe. They can, however, go longer and do better without water than other stock, but thrive much better with an ample supply. Sheep are clean drinkers as well 4 s clean feeders and will not drink contaminated water unless forced to do It. The Egg Eating Hen. The most effective remedy for the egg eating hen is the hatchet and the block. When the habit Is once acquired it Is almost Impossible to correct It Sometimes placing a quantity of red pepper In the egg through a small bole in the end and allowing the hen to eat this will overcome the habit, but this will fall in a number of cases. Special nests are another remedy. As ’soon as the egg Is laid It rolls slowly out of reach of the bird. —Farmers Advocate. Mashes For the Poultry. - A mash fed the Maine experiment station is as follows in the proportion Two hundred pounds of wheat bran, 100 pounds of corn&ieal. 100 pounds of wheat middlings, 100 pounds of linseed meal, 100 pounds of gluten meal and 100 pounds of beef scrap. Another mash may be mixed as follows In the proportions indicated: One hundred pounds of cornmeal, 100 pounds of ground oats and 100 pounds of wheat bran. Making the Farm Pay. If the farm doesn’t pay, the most common sense remedy is to look at things as they really are. Make every crop and every animal give an account of itself, find what pays and what doesn’t pay and act accordingly. The most dangerous mistake a farmer can make Is to carelessly run In debt. Borrow to earn more, but never to procure what will not pay for itself. When yon can earn, then will be time enough to get things which you can do without.

The Average Yield of Grains. One year with another the average yield of wheat in this country Is about fourteen busilels per acre, hardly that; corn, twenty-eight or a little under, and oats, thirty-tliree. Canada Is producing about twenty bushels to the acre of wheat and Great Britain thirtyfive, but every Inch of England's farming land is thoroughly tilled and properly rotated. It Is also fertilized, of course, by every means known to the art of farming. Keep After the Weed*. Every land owner or worker should, keep a sharp lookout for the new and obnoxious weeds that have been recently Introduced—by accident, of course—from other countries and should use his utmost endeavors to keep them as well as familiar plant Intruder* from ripening their seed. Selecting Breeding Ewe*. Take note of the ewes that raise the good lambs. Often they are not the best lookers at weaning time. It is very likely that the round, plump ewes did not lamb this year. In making a selection for breeding purposes avoid those that do not return profit. Feeding Pigs. Don’t conclude that the pigs do not need grain because they have the run of a good clover or rye pasture. Yon can’t make rapid growth that way. Feed grain or mill stuff all the time, and then the hogs will make the best use of both grass and grain. The Profitable Sheep. You will find that the most profitable sheep are those that keep their hea4s close to their business of eating. They are not always looking around for trouble. but are making the best use of their time whether at the trough and rack or in the pasture field.

Fall Pasture For Hogs. » For late pastures for the hogs sow • mixture of rape, oats and barley on tiie earliest harvested grainfields. Besides furnishing a fine supply of green feed, the hogs will do a good Job la cleaning up the field. Change Bheep Pasture. Try to give the sheep a change of pasture every three or four weeks. They get tired of the same old pasture, and It checks the growth of the young stock, while the mature sheep grow thin.

“Fishing,” said Randolph reflectively, his fixed hypnotically on the blue aiuF white bob dancing on the waters of the creek, “is the most fascinating pursuit 6f mankind.” The girl had braced her pole In the crook of an alder branch and was pinning her white, linen skirt to clear her trim ankles. "I believe I have heard that men were more fascinated by the pursuit than bv- v. H, you ought to be very harp" on-that theory,” she said, peer- ’ into t!' • empty basket at his feet. ‘ Yon ist wait—that fly Is a wonder nr.d ill soon have ’em taking notice.” Mut you've promised to catch udi for dinner, and there are ten Try girls and ten voracious men v.' i can eat like a circus menagerie—to t.ay nothing of the chaperons.” “I'll not try to catch enough to go round; I hate chaperons.” He jerked

“HOLD ON TIGHT!-I'VE GOT YOU!”

his pole up and down vindictively. “We’ve been camping for four days anti this Is the first minute I’ve had you to myself. Four chaperons are entirely too many for twenty people; that’s four-tenths of a chaperon to a couple—too rich for my system.” “And what, may I ask, is your system?” She made a grab at her pole, which had gradually slipped half Its length into the creek. “Dora Newton, you have a most Irritating habit of playing with a man’s words—and with his heart,” he said, his eyes fixed on her fine young arms, bared to the elbow. “I wasn’t playing. I was earnestly seeking Information—the desire for knowledge Is strong within me—and I really wanted to know your—system.” She lauded a tiny perch and helplessly held the rod for him to take the quivering fish off the hook. He put the fish in the basket, and they regarded the lack of proportion of basket and fish gravely. “It needs to be illustrated,” he said solemnly, “not the fish, but the system. I could teach it to you.” “I don’t know' that you are a qualified teacher.” She cast her hook In a Way that made her line cross Randolph’s. “Professor Jordan Is coming down tomorrow to stay In camp with ns two days.” and the Inference was that Professor Jordan, as a teacher, could not be discounted. “Humph! The old fossil!” grunted Bandolph. „ “Fossil? He’s not more than forty—and he certainly Is a man of brains.” “Your tone, Miss Newton, Intimates that I am a mere matter of physical hoik, and you are further aggravating aa by getting yonr line tangled In mine just aa I waa about to have a

She cast her line In a new spot with a sudden show of humility. “Well, you see. I hadn’t realized that you had attained the degree of psychic development necessary to tell—when a fish was about to bite.” “Personally,” he continued, “Professor Jordan bores me immensely. Think I’ll run up to town for the two days he Intends to Illuminate the camp with his intellectual light. Would you mind telling me If you are going to marry that dried up Greek root?" He drew In his line and fixed it for deeper water. “He hasn’t asked me—yet,” with a toes of her head that intimated she was prepared for future developments "I didn’t know my vacation was to be spoiled by that old—dinosaur.” He was delighted that he remembered the word. “Is he really so bad as all that? Sounds three or four Bbades wickeder than a Greek root, but I am glad you are at least generous enough to credit him with versatility.” “Doesn’t make any difference which bead you classify him under. If he’s coming here to spoil the party I might as well go back to town and stay. I asked you to marry me seven times last winter and couldn’t even get you to look at the matter seriously—thought maybe all this scenery and the moonlight nights and the—er—hammocks would develop a little sentiment In yonr soul, but If there’s another man in the case I have nothing more to say.” “So hammocks are Included In yonr aygtem? I never sat in a hammock with Professor Jordan,” reflectively. “I could really Imagine no greater joy than—a hammock and the fossilated Jordan,” he said sarcastically. “I have to thank you for the suggestion,” airily. “When you are in town tomorrow night, gasping for a breath of cool air, don’t think you are entirely forgotten. I shall be remembering your idea and trying the hammock. The moonlight here is fascinating,” she murmured Irrelevantly. His pole dipped down with an unexpected jerk, and with the effort to catch it his foot slipped on the edge of the bank, and he found himself suddenly floundering In the creek. He caught one glimpse of the girl’s horrified eyes, and, with an inspiration heaven born or wicked, according to the point of view, he remembered the trick he had learned In boyhood and disappeared from her sight. She stood motionless, her hands clasped convulsively to her breast When he came to the surface near her, sputtering and gasping with more energy than an expert on the subject would have pronounced natural, she j. dropped on her kuees and clutched him ; by the arm. “Oh, Dickey.” she screamed, throwing her lithe young body on the edge of the creek and reaching her other hand to him, “hold on—tight—l’ve got you!” Randolph, dripping wet scrambled up the bank and helped her to her feet “I—caught you,” she reiterated dazedly, clutching each wet sleeve with nervous fingers, her face white and tremulous. “You poor little girl, I didn’t know you would be as frightened as this,” he said contritely, unhesitatingly putting his arm around the crisp white shirt waist. “I thought you were—d-dead,” she stammered, and Randolph, looking In her eyes, was satisfied with his system. “Dora,” he said finally, the last lingering touch of jealousy dying hard, “you never loved that dried Greek root, did yon?” She freed one hand and stroked the damp hair from his forehead. “I like them—wet,” she gurgled, “but come, let’s run for the camp before you catch your death of cold.” “Humph! Much ganger of cold In this weatheri” When they reached the camp ten minutes later there were many derisive exclamations from the hammocks, and cards and novels were dropped for newer Interest “Of all the earthly spectacles!” shouted the Irrepressible brother of Dora, throwing a pack of cards on the rustic table with such energy that they scattered over Hie grass. “Have vou been divine for shellfish?"

“And where, may I ask, are the fish? We’ve been waiting dinner for them,” called Mrs. Bradley, the chaperon most to be feared. “Dickey”—Dora’s voice was an agonized whisper—“for the love of heaven try to distract their attention until I can slip Into the tent—there’s a—a wet streak across my back where your arm—er”— “Darling!” whispered Randolph fatuously. Then, walking rapidly forward, he bowed low to Mrs. Bradley. He opened the basket where the lone little perch had long since given up the struggle for existence. “Here, madam. Is your fish,” he said humbly.

“Wanted, at once, a rough carpenter, 7 shillings a day. Apply J. Morris, Onehunga.” This advertisement caught my eye one morning, says the author of “Adrift In New Zealand,” when I had been some weeks In the antipodes and thought it time to cast about for work. The 7 shillings appealed to me, and, as the advertiser did not say how rough the carpenter was to be, I decided to apply at once to Mr. J. Morris. I applied and got the job. v In Bpite of my conceit, however, I felt very nervous when the day arrived on which I had to begin my work. I was at the appointed place a" full half hour before my time, tramping up and down in front of two empty houses, wondering what I would have to do to them. At 8 o’clock my £ellow> worker arrived, and after a critical survey of me asked if I were the new man, and on my explaining that I was he had the impertinence to inquire if I knexV anything about carpentering. I was piqued. “No,” I answered very sharply. “Neither do I,” he replied as cheerfully as could be and swung open a gate and walked Into an empty house. Prom that moment we were fast friends.

A Sense of Duty.

Just before the boat capsized Rees Rees had been boasting of his “practical common sense.” “I am nothing if not a man of prac* teeeal common sense,” he averraL “When there is a difficulty to be solved Rees Rees is the man to solve It.” Then when the boat sank Rees’ fellow excursionist, John Jones, found that the plank to which both clung was unequal to the support of their united weight. At this juncture he remembered his companion’s t>oast. “Prove yewer praeteecal common sense now, Rees!” he pleaded, with true Welsh eloquence. "Eu are a single man, with noboddy dependent on eu. I am married an’ got six shildran. If eu drowns noboddy do suffarr. But if I do drown then there- iss my waife an’ six likkle shildran to starrve, an’ yewer praeteecal common sense do tell en that it iss bettarr for eu to drown thou me. Prove yewer praeteecal common sense, Rees, an’ let go the plank—orr I will push eu off it!”—Dundee Advertiser.
