LIFE'S STRUGGLE WITH ILLNESS Mrs. Stewart Tells How She Suffered from 26to45 years old How Finally Cured Euphemia, Ohio. "Because of total Ignorance of how to care for myself -when verging into womanhood, and from taking cold when going to school, I suffered from a displacement, and each month I had severe pains and nausea which always meant a lay-off from work for two to four days from the time I was 16 years old. "I went to Kansas to live with my sister and while there a doctor told me of -the Pinkham remedies but I did not use them then as my faith in patent medicines was limited. After my sister died I came home to Ohio to live and that has been my home for the last 18 years. "The Change of Life came when I was 41 years old and about this time I saw my physical condition plainly described in one of your advertisements. Then I began using Lydia E. Pinkham' s Vegetable Compound and I cannot tell you or any one the relief it gave me in the first three months. It put me right where I need not lay off every month and during the last 18 years I have not paid out two dollars to a doctor, and have been blest with excellent health f or awowoman of my age and I can thank Lydia E.Pinkham'sVegetable Compound f or it. "Since the Change of Life1 is overit have been a maternity nurse and being wholly self-supporting I cannot over estimate the value of good health. I have now earned a comfortable little home just by sewing and nursing since I was 52 years old. I nave recommended the Compound to many with good reiults, as it is excellent to take before and after childbirth." Miss EVELYN Adelia Stewart, Euphemia, Ohio.

THE FARM GARDEN HOTBED INCREASES PROFIT By C. E. Brehm, Department of Horticulture, Purdue University School of Agriculture. Purdue University Agricultural Extension.
Sow the Seed In Drills for All Transplanting Stock. Crops to Be Matured in the Bed Are Generally Reset at Least Once, and Are Spaced.
The hotbed is a necessary adjunct to any farm or suburban garden. It is true that practically all vegetables that are forced in hotbeds can be grown outdoors, yet there are many advantages in the use of the hotbed which will more than repay the small extra expense and labor involved in their usage. By forwarding the crops in this way two or more crops can be grown on the same ground in the same season, with systematic successive cropping. At the same time the most important advantage is that the farmer has vegetables earlier in the season than his neighbor who trusts to sowing his seed outdoors. The hotbed should be located where it is convenient to farm buildings and where water is available. It should have a full exposure to the south in order that the sun's rays may do the greatest amount of good. Protection from the north, either by a board fence or a building, will give more satisfactory results. In preparing the hotbed, the pit should be dug in the fall before freezing weather sets in- and then mulched with a straw and manure to prevent freezing. It will then be ready for use early in the spring before the frost is out of the ground. The soil should also be prepared and mixed in the fall and placed near the beds and mulched over with manure. In fact, all operations should be performed in the fall before it is 4 cold and materials so protected that the work may start off in the spring with out any delay. The pit is dug IS to 2,4 inches deep and 6 feet wide. It may be any length, dependent on the heeds of the individual. However, three hotbeds will bo sufficient for the ordinary farmer's garden, which woultf make the length of the pit nine feet. Sash come in sizes three feet wide and six feet long, the width of the pit being dug- to accommodate the length of the sash. The interior of the pit is boarded up "with one-inch pine lumber, the north side of the bed being six inches higher than the south side. This gives a slope of six inches to the south. The soil for the hotbeds in which the seeds, are to be sown should not only be rich m plant food, out u should be loose and friable. It should be of such a nature that the water will permeate it uniformly throughout and vet the surface should dry out readily. The soil should also retain sufficient moisture to supply the needs of the plant, and at, the same time should never pack or become cemented together when watered. . Such a soil can be prepared by skinning sods from some old pasture. These sods are piled in tiers four to six inches thick and alternated with in vor nf stsihlp manure of the same depth. The compost pile should be allowed to stand for a year and dur- - int-' flip lnt.r.pr -nart of this period -t ' O . w .jr . v when the sods and manure have become thoroughly rotted, ttie pne ? -Bhould be forked' oyer two or three times in order to break up the sods and manure and further reduce the mass to as fine a texture as possible. Another method of preparing the soli is to take the manure from the stable and pile it in low. flat piles four feet deep. Turn it frequently to prevent heating. As soon as danger of heating is past, allow it to stand until it is thoroughly rotted. Then during the latter -part of the year fork it over several times in order to reThoroughly Compost All Manure
cure a
duce it to as fine a texture as possible. This manure should always be piled on sods so that the sods absorb the liquid ingredients and none leach away. This rotted manure is then mixed in equal parts with ordinary garden loam. Such a soil will give excellent results. Never use fresh manure mixed with the soil, in which you expect tjo sow seeds, for the results are uncertain. About the first of March is the time
to start the hotbed, if the earliest vegetables are desired. Preparations shoukl commence about two weeks before the seeds are to be sown. Manure from the livery stable is most satisfactory for hotbed use. This should be firmly tramped in piles. In a few days it will heat up and the pile should then be forked over again and the outside turned in. In three or four days the manure will begin to heat up. As soon as the manure starts to ferment after being forked over throw it in the bed. Care should b6 taken in filling the bed that the manure is tramped in firmly. Particular attention should be paid to the sides and corners. The aim should be to have the surface smooth and even. After the manure is in the pit, screen the soil so that there are no large lumps in it and cover the surface with soil to a depth of six inches. In a few days the temperature will go up to 115 to 120 degrees. However, it will drop in about a week to 95 degrees and when the temperature gets that low the time has arrived for the sowing of the seed. For this reason a soil thermometer should be kept in the bed so that the temperature may be known at all times. Some glass covering will be necessary for the beds. There are two kinds of sash the single glass sash and the double glass sash, the latter being commonly known as the double daylight sash. The single glass sash are easier to handle since they are not so heavy and are not so expensive. However, at night they must be covered with a mat in order to prevent the escape of heat from the interior. The double daylight sash have two thicknesses of glass with a dead air space between. They retain more heat in the bed, but. are heavier to handle and the breakage when sucn occurs is twice as uua7 emu mwvfore more expensive. They will keep the beds from eight to ten degrees warmer than the single glass sash. Every farm garden should have its hotbeds. They are inexpensive and add materially to the garden yields and profits. Extend your garden season by means of the hotbed so that i 1- ww r -n rl l,r10you may have Christmas lettuce next season. Dairy Shorthorns. ' 1 The Dairy Shorthorns ;tre very popular in England. At recent sales it is said that Shorthorns with records for heavy milk production! have brought as high as $1,250. while many sales of milking cows on a commercial basis have been made at from $150 to $30. The Dairy Shorthorn has a good many friends in America, but in comparison with the highly-specialized dairy breeds her interests have been sadly neglected. Propagating Berries. Dewberries and black raspberries are propagated in the same manner as blackberries. Used In the Garden Hotbed So as to 3t-

BOOKS HAVE A PERSONALITY
It Makes Their Influence, According to One Authority, G reater Vhän That of Man. The real population of the world is not-composed of its human bodies, but of its books. Men come and go; books remain-. Life is merely a feeder of literature. Things, which Johnson said are the sons of heaven, pass away, while words, which he called the daughters of earth, remain. There is the Bible; the men who believed it and the men who disbelieved it have fallen like autumn leaves, and the book itself is ever green. Here is Dante's poem, still standing like a cathedral, while the author who built it and the thousands who have walked in it lie buried in the churchyard. Here is Shakespeare's book; tho men and women in it are more alive today than were the queen who pat ronized and the crowd that gaped at his plays. The characters of Dickens have more reality than Dickens himself; the nobles and millionaires he looked up to are already forgotten, while Uriah Heep and David Copperfield are intimate realities to eacu succeeumg A book has a personality of its own, quite apart from its author, just as a cniia cannot oe accounteu lor uy i x 1 - -I his mother and father. A book leads its own life. It extends its master over men independently of their Struggles against it, or it dies despite their most meticulous incubation. It wresties not with flesh and blood, but with other books. . . , What is a man, any man, compared to a book? In real value what has any conqueror done to influence the lfvps of men. comDared witn wnat books have done? What are the ex ploits of Timour, Alexander and Char lemagne to the results of "The Pilrrrim'fi Prosrrftss. "Das Kanital." "Le Contrat Social" and "Progress and Poverty"? New York Independent. So What's the Use? At a downtown restaurant the other day four men, who did not know each other, were seated at the same table, and each in turn ordered water without ice. The first to want water uncooled suggested that they compare reasons. "For my part," he said, "I think ice cold water retards digestion." "Frankly, I fear the ice may come from ponds and dams full of decayed hio mattpr and may have mnlaria or tvnhoid." exnlained the second. "r dislike the chemical taste of ar tificial ice." said the third. 'It's just habit with me," spoke up the fourth. "I'm an Englishman, and wna hrnnerht un to take water uniced." But the man who didn't want to re tard his digestion drank a Stein Of ice cold beer. The one wno rearea germb ordered raw oysters! the one who riieiivpri the "chemical taste" drank V4 lUilltV V4 Tom gin, and the Englishman ordered sauerkraut. New York Mail. Complications in Answer.

Katherine is two and a half years old. Her father came home one after noon, after working three days and three nights at high pressure, with almost no sleep. He lay down with the feeling that he did not want to wake up for a. week. Half an hour later, from the depths of his dreams, he heard a small, clerr voice: "Father!" The sleeper stirred and turned his head on the pillow. "Father! Father!" He stirred and moaned. "Father! Father!" He struggled and resisted and floun dered, and finally raised his eyelids like a man lifting heavy weights. He sav, Katherine smiling divinely beside hAs couch. "Father! Father!" "What is it, daughter?" "Father, are you having a nice nap?" Youth's Companion. It Brings Them Down. Courtland Field Bishop, who is an expert in airmanship in all its branches, smiled at a dinner in Lenox over Grahame White's contemplated trans-Atlantic flight by hydro-aeroplane. "The mere discussion of such a flight," he said, "makes the young lady's joke about flying seem true and serious. " T can't understand the attraction of flying an elderly man said to this young lady. "She answered, smiling demurely: "'Don't you think it must be the attraction of gravitation?'"
IDEA ANNOYED OLD GOLDE
He Kne.w From Experience That College Education by No Means Unfitted Boy for Work. "Woodrow Wilson naturally believes in a college education for boys and glrl3 alike," said a banker at the Princeton club in New York. "Mr. Wilson, lunching with me here, onc said in his quaint way that the old idea about a college education unfitting a lad for work had quite died out. "We no longer hear," he declared, "stories like that of Gobsa Golde. "When Gobsa Golde's son Scattergood," he explained, "desired to go to Princeton, he said to the old man: " 'Pater, is it true that boys who go to college are unfit for wrork afterward?" "'Of course it ain't true!' snorted the old man indignantly. 'Why, I've got a Princeton graduate runnin' my freight elevator, two of my best coal heavers are Harvard A. B.'s and a Yale S.
