How to Look Good. Good looks are really more than skin .deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs. If the liver be inactive, yog have a bilious look: if your kidneys be affected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health and you will surely have good looks. ‘‘Electric Bitters*’ is good alternative and tonic. Acts directly pn the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pimples, blotches and boils, and gives a*good complexion. Even- bottle guaranteed. Sold at J. R.

Dipping MKeep Car Tick*. tPurdue.University Agricultural Experiment Hatton, Newspaper Bulletin ^o. ST, April 27.18*.) The injury inflicted by the sheep tick ujpou the flocks in this state can only be roughly estimated. Ticks do not cause death directly, nor injure the wool, but cause untold torment by their biting and wandering about over the body. This saps j the rigor of the okl sheep, retards thej growth of the lambs, and makes both J suscept ible to .dipease. * The tick is a wingless fly about a quarter j of an inch long, haring a large, strong, j reddish-gray body, apd six legs. The head is square and set directly on the body- The: biting {>arts consist of a stout proboscis j armed with a row of teeth. It lays only a ; few eggs during its lifetime, and these contain young ticks. The parasites pass ] their entire life upon the body of the sheep, j and live .by s.ucking the blood. They can | live for only a few days when removed from

the sheep. Their destruction is comparatively easy, as they are susceptible to nearly all the agents that destroy parasites. The most opportune time for killing ticks is just after shearing, as the ease of handling and the coat of dip is reduced to the minimum. Nearly all the ticks will leave the sheep for the lambs..so that the work will be very effective if only the lambs are dipped. It is better, however, to dip both old and young. The sheep should _ be examined carefully about three weeks after dipping, and if any eggs escape destruction the sheep should be mlipped. The apparatus necessary may consist only of a box or barrel, into which the animals may be submerged, and a table upon which they may be allowed to drain. Such temporary arrangements necessitate considerable labor and loss of dip. A special tank may be purchased or built, if a large number are to be handled, as one will soon be repaid for its use. The tank should be about eight feet long at the top and two feet wide, ft shun Id be 44 feet high and one,end made vertical. The sides should slant so that the bottom will be from five to eight inches yrjde. The bottom should be about 34 feet long, and one end made to slant so that the sheep may walk out. The tank should lie set into the ground and a chute made go tljat the'sheep may be driven I into the tank. A good tigfit wagon bed may be used as a dram floor, and the back end plated over the end of the t§nk to return the dip. With such an arrangement several hundred sheep may be dipped in a | day with comparatively little wqrk and a | great saving in dip. On the who)e it is more economical and satisfactory to use some of the good sheep dips offered upon the market. These dips usually contain arsenic, extract of tobaceo, or products obtained from creosote or tar as the destroying agent. As the latter dips are effective and less dangerous in the hands of most people, they are to be preferred. The following, known as the Curtice dip. is higaly recommended, and, may lie prepared by anyone: Tobacco leaves, 50 poutn.s; sulphur, 10 pounds; water, 100 gallons. The tobacco is steeped for an hour *nd a 1mlf, the leaves are strained off and t ae sulphur added and again boiled for an huur. Keep well stirred and use while warm. A. W. Hitting, Veterinarian. ---_

Whoopi ug Cough. I had a little boy who was nearly dead from an attack of whooping cough. Mv. neighbors recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I did not think that aiiy medcine would help him, but after giving him a few doses of that remedy I . noticed an improvement, and one bottle cured him enti.ely. It is the best cough meilicine 1 ever had in the house.—J. L. Moore, South Burijettstown, Penn. For sale by J. R. Ad*, ms A Son. m Sipie and i'line Indicted. The grand jury after being in session four days last week returned an indictment Thursday afternoon charging Frank Sipie and John Cline with the murder of F. P. Sin ith. The indictment contains four counts each chargmg^Siple and Clink with giving Smith poison which caused his death. No indictment was returned against Jacob Bailies, one of the men who was arrested at the time, but he is held as a witness under a $500 bond which he gave. The prisoners were taken before Judge Ely $oon after t he indictment was returned. Siiple and Cline were arraigned upon the charge and each answered not guilty. The trials were continued to the June term of court and will come up for hearing on the 27th day of June, that being the second week of the term. Sjpie will be defended by Dillon $ Greene a ad Cline by C. L. Holcomb. The prisoners were remanded Jo Jail without bail, they being charged with murder to the first degree, which is not bailable.
