SOME GOOD ADVICE Strengthened by Rensselaer Experiences. Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At the first sign of backache, headache, dizziness or bladder weakness, you should give the weakened kidneys prompt attention. Eat little meat, take things easier and use a reliable kidney tonic. There’s nd other kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan’s Kidney Pills. Rensselaer people rely on them. -Here’s one of the many- statements from Rensselaer ipeople. Mrs. J. C. Beckman, Van Rensselaer street, says: “Judging from my own experience with Doan’s Kidney Pills, I gladly recommend them as a reliable medicine. Doan’s have always relieved me of backache and other symptoms of kidney disorder.” i Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Beckman had. FosterMilburn Co., Props., Buffalo, New York. —Advt.

Mourning the Departed. The newest thing in mourning is' dark blue. It is not for the sod half of! the menage, but for the widow who: disagrees with her othe’r half, whoi seeks the courts to cut the knot. Such a person was seen yesterday and when asked if she had lost some one replied: “Yes, my husband.” “When did he! die?" “Don’t understand.” “I di-1 I vorced him. I felt for a time that I' should retire quietly, and now that I have emerged I wear a compromise color —blue. I didn’t really dislike my husband, but I had to divorce him. The mourning is half for him and half for; the memories. But, poor boy, he married again. His stenographer.”—New York Tribune.

BITTER FIGHTS OVER BEARDS

Tartars and Persians Long in Conflict Because They Held Varying Opinions on the Matter. Before now the wearing of beards has caused a bitter war and made the executioner’s ax cut through many a neck. The Tartars waged a long war , with the Persians, declaring them th-1 fidels because they would not shave their beards after the fashion of Tartary. The Greeks wore beards until the time of Alexander, who ordered the Macedonians to be shaved lest their j beards should give handles to their enemies. The ancient Romans wore beards, but in England they were not fashionable after the conquest until' the thirteenth century and were dis- 1 continued at the Restoration. Peter the Great kept a squad of officers whose duty it was to cut the beards of unwilling citizens by force. Before 1840 shaving was almost universal in the United States. There have been numerous Instances of women with long masculine beards. Margaret of Savoy, daughter of Maximilian I, had a long stiff beard, and a Woman was seen in Paris with a black bushy beard that reached to her waist. At the battle of Pultowa the Russians captured a bearded woman, whom they presented to the czar. She had a beard five and one-half feet long.

Gifted Writers Indolent.

De Quincey has called Coleridge “a man of infinite title pages,” and he says he heard Coleridge admit that a list of the books he meditated but never executed would fill a large volume. In this respect the two opium eaters were rivals. Perhaps their fer-1 tllity in projects was due, as Coleridge fancied, to an overactivity of thought, “modified by a constitutional Indolence,” and had nothing to do with opium. On the other hand, De Quincey believed that his opium eating prevented him from writing the book he intended to make his life work, the slow and elaborate result of years of toil, to which he had “presumed to give the title of an unfinished work of Spinoza’s, viz., ‘De Human! Intellectus.’ ” In a later mood he devised a “Prolegomena to All Future Systems of Political Economy,” and made arrangements with a provincial printer for its production, but its author never even got as far as the preface.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Hog Production Committee Holds Important Meeting At a recent meeting of the Hog Production committee of the County Better Fairming association, the following recommendations relative to increased hog production were made: We recommend that the county agent and the livestock committee appoint a hog grower in each township to report to the county agent any desirable sows or gilts that may be for sale and the frames of parties wishing to buy such stock. The following forage crop® are recommended for any locality in which the soil is adapted to ‘ their culture: Dwarf Essex rape at the rate of 4 to 6 pounds per acre. If a mixture is desired add one bushel of oats per acre with rape. An early variety of sweet com drilled in rows immediately after the field crop is planted will furnish a splen-1 did forage in the latter part of July, August and September. In addition, add 4 or 5 pounds of rape seed per acre at the last cultivation. Common red clotver is a good forage crop for hogs wherever it can be successfully grown. For wet or seepy lands we recommend alsike clover. For permanent hog pasture we recommend blue grass and white clover. For hogging off corn we recommend a suitable variety of soybeans planted with the corn at planting time. We recommend the Ito San for this purpose. The bulletin, “How to Care for the Sow and Her Litter,” should be mailed to every hog raiser in the county. We reco'mmend the organization of a pure-bred pig club for boys and girls from the age of fourteen to eighteen years. We recommend the holding of an annual livestock show in the county. We recommend that steps be taken to encourage the use of purebred sires. In accordance with the above recommendations, the following men have been appointed to assist in the distribution of breeding hogs: Carpenter .Will Ott Jordan .... .n ...George Sage
