Swent Over Niagara. This terrible calamity often happens because a careless boatman ignores the river’s warnings—growing ripples and faster current- — Nature’s warnings are kind. That dull pain or ache in the back warns you the Kidneys need attention if you would escape fatal maladies— Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright’s disease.

Doctors say take Cod Liver Oil— they undoubtedly mean Scoffs Emulsion. It would be just as sensible for them to prescribe Quinine in its crude form as to prescribe Cod Liver Oil in its natural state. In Scott’s Emulsion the oil is emulsified and made easy to take—easy to digest and easy to be absorbed in to the body—aAd is the most natural and useful fatty food to feed and nourish the wasted body that is known in medicine today. Nothing can be found to take its place. If you are run-down you should take it.

The old fashioned way of dosing a weak stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out this error. This is why his prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—is directed entirely to the cause of these ailments, the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn’t so difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys, If one goes at *t correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Test it a few days, and see! Improvement will promptly and surely follow. Sold by all dealers.

OBITUARY. Melslna Grizzle was born in Tennessee, December 31, 1821, and departed this life here in Monticello Saturday, April 17, 1909, aged 87 years, 3 months and 16 days. When quite young, the deceased came with her parents to this state and settled in Terre Haute, and was there in 1842 united in marriage with Reason Casto. To this union eight children—four girls and four boys—were born. All of whom this aged mother saw precede her in the spirit save one son, William, who was spared unto her as a comfort and solace of her declining years, and to see that her body was laid to rest after her spirit had been set free to pass into eternity. The husband of her youth was called to his reward in 1876 and she lived < widow until 1899 when she married Stephen Losh, who died in 1904. More than fifty years of her life was passed in Jasper county which she saw come up out of the wilderness to bloom and blossom as a rose After the death of her second husband she came to Monticello to make her home with her son. In her younger womanhood she made the great profession in the Faith that saves, and in 1855 united with the Methodist church to be a faithful worker in the same until in 1894 when in Milroy township, Jasper county, she united with the Christian Friends’ church. Loyal to her blessed Savior and Redeemer unto the last, she was ready for the call. Hers was a fitting close to a long life when she was garnered home .as a fully ripened sheaf. One son, nine grandchildren and ten great grandchildren were left to mourn. xx

People past middle life usually have some kidney or bladder disorder that saps the vitality, which is naturally lower in old age. Foley’s Kidney Remedy corrects urinary troubles, stimulates the kidneys, and restores strength and vigor. It cures uric acid troubles by strengthening the kidneys so they will strain out the uric acid that settles in the muscles and joints causing rheumatism. A. F. Long.

WILL BE OUR FASTEST SHIP

Torpedo Boat Destroyer Smith, Named For Civil War Hero,, Is Launched. Philadelphia, April 20.—A little vessel, which will be, when she is completed, the fastest ship in the United States navy, was launched here today. She is the torpedo boat destroyer Smith; the first of a new type. She is expected to have greater speed and a wider steaming radius than any other destroyer on the naval list. The Smith is named after Lieutenant Joseph B. Smith, who was in command of the warship Congress when that vessel was sunk in Hampton Roads by the Confederate Ironclad Virginia, March 8, 1862. Lieutenant Smith was killed in the action. Mrs. Edward B. Richardson of Brookline, Mass., a relative of Lieutenant Smith, acted as sponsor at the naming of the little vessel when she slid off the ways.

Barley and Oats Mixed.

Barley and oats grown as a mixed crop at the Ontario experiment station gave in 1907 the highest yield of grain, 1,979 pounds per acre, where four pecks of each were used per acre. The mixture of Manshury barley and Daubeney oats has been found to ripen well together and to produce a large yield of grain. The results with crop mixtures of twelve and eight kinds of grain in combinations made up of uniform weights of seed or of quantities in the same proportion as when the crops are grown separately showed the supremacy of Manshury six rowed barley when used in this way. In the average of six years’ work and the results of twenty-four tests this variety represented 17. G per cent in the mixture.

The Cow and Silage. Why should good milk result from sour smelling silage and poor milk from onions? If a very thin slice of onion, turnip or cabbage Is examined under a high power magnifying glass the tissue will be seen filled with minute drops of a sulphur oil which Imparts the peculiar odor and flavor. The system of a cow tries to burn up and get rid of all that would injure the milk, but these sulphur oils are among the most difficult to eliminate from the system, and unless fed In small quantities will produce a bad effect on the milk. On the other hand, the odor and taste of silage are connected with the acids of fermentation, which are easily destroyed by the cow. —Denver Field and Farm.

Poultry Notes. Protect your fowls from the different pests. Weed out your poultry the same your garden. Few fowls can do well when roosting In trees under all conditions. The importance of grit should be recognized by every one having fowls. A stumbling block over which many fall is in undertaking to breed too many different varieties. There are three important factors Id getting eggs—good hens, proper sur roundings and suitable feed Honestly, would you be any happier if the earth were peopled with individuals just like yourself? Be sure to lead the simple life. It is more than the other—whatever that is—and much more artistic. Come to The Democrat office for fine job printing.
