Poisoned, impure blood would explain the cause In nine out of ten such cases. It matters not if the blood be poisoned by inoculation, or by the failure of one or more of the important glands of the body to perform their duties, a powerful alterative or blood purifier, is necessary to cleanse it, and in so doing removes the cause. Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is the most thorough and powerful alterative or blood purifier ever known, a fact which is firmly established, and supported by testimony of hundreds of grateful people. It is harmless as it is effective, and .sold at one dollar a bottle at all drug stores. CARDS AT Y. M. C. A. Directors May Permit Dormitory Boarders to Play in Their Rooms. IS OPPOSED BY GOODWIN At the December meeting of the directors of the Young Men's Chistian association, the subject of permitting the dormitory members to play cards in their rooms will probably be taken up and although George L. Goodwin, secretary of the association, says that this amusement is looked upon with disapproval, it is probable the directors will not issue an order prohibiting it. so long as it is carried on along legitimate lines. This permission will probably b3 modified to the extent that week daygames will be permissible, but that on Sunday, all decks of cards must be face down. Mr. Goodwin evidenced surprise at the inquiry, as to whether cards would be permitted. He said that he was not familiar with the fact that the dormitory had members with whom the "national games' were favorites. Pride. There is a paradox in pride. It makes some men ridiculous, but prefrents others from becoming so.

ITS RESULTS WONDERFUL Farmers in different parts of the county, whose hogs have been affected with cholera this season, and, in fact, all raisers of swine, are interested in a serum which is being experimented with and which is proving to be a cure for the disease. Several have had their hogs treated and excellent results have followed, only a small loss being suffered. It is claimed by those who have been using it, that if used in time, the serum will always effect a cure. If the claims of these are true, its great value to the farmers can readily be seen. Every year, the loss from hog cholera amounts to millions of dollars. This is the first remedy which has accomplished what has been claimed for it. In Henry county. Dr. Bolser of New Castle, has treated several herds with the new serum. His success so far has been so great that he has received calls from all parts of the state. Dr. Bolser says that in treating a hog, it must be washed with an antiseptic preparation, until perfectly clean and the injection made inside its thighs. In a small hog. a dose of about two ounces is sufficient, while a larger and older animal requires a dose about double that amount. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.

While ex-President RooseTelt was on his famous Louisiana bear hunting trip he passed by an old colored, man's cabin and saw two tine bounds io the yard. Mr. Roosevelt made several offers for the hounds, each larger than the last, but the man shook his head. Filially the president said, lf you knew who I am you would sell me those dogs." "Who is you?" exclaimed the man. "Who is you. anyhow? "I am President RooseTelt, was the reply, uttered in an Impressive tone. The old man looked at him a moment and then said. "See heah. I wouldn't care if you was Bookah T. Washintsn you couldn't get dem Aawgs!"

Moving pictures for rifle and revolver practice is the latest use of thewondcrful cinematograph Human figure targets that not only move but fire at the marksmen are now being used to train the English soldiers hov to shoot. The marksmen aim at moving pictures on a screen, the figures advancing, retreating, running walking crawling and firing at the marksmen. In this way the marksman uses his rifle under conditions that are nearer the real thing than any former method of practice.

What can be accomplished by the mere fact of a thorough cultivation of the soil has been brought to the writer's attention very forcibly during the past few weeks. A fifty or sixty acre field belonging to a farm which has been share rented for the past twenty years and hence gradually robbed of its fertility for It has not been manured or replenished with clover was given a deep plowing and this year planted to corn. Prior to this year the field had been sort of an agricultural byword, little being expected of it and as little being realized from it. This season, however, different tactics were followed. The field was put in good tilth as a seed bed, good seed planted and a good stand of corn secured. During the growing season it was cultivated thoroughly five times. The result was an eye opener. Not ouly did this handling result in a good growth of 6talks which were well eared, but so mellow was the surface kept that the crop was able to withstand protracted dry weather in much better shape than richer and heavier land which was not so well tilled, not-1 withstanding it had a coarse gravel j subsoil. A lot of farmers who have driven past this field have been wondering what magic was used on it. It was just a matter of cultivation of the soil which unlocked its possibilities. In spite of the fact that its fertility was : badly depleted. The same cultivation. coupled with manure and clover, would accomplish even better results. These three things ought to be tried on thousands of farms through the cotton, corn and small grain belts. PROXY FARMING. One of the greatest curses of present day American agriculture Is the all too prevalent system of proxy farming, or absentee landlordism. Go into any section one will and the most rundown places are almost without exception those owned by men who live In town and have turned the virtual management of the farm over to a cash or share renter, who in all too many cases, being on a short lease, thinks he does best for himself by skinning the land to the limit. Very likely tbe owner came into possession of the property when land was got for a song or inherited it from some thrifty parent, and it is natural enough if he receives a fair interest return on what he considers is invested that he' should not be as alert along the line of seeing that its fertility is kept in repair as he ought to be. Best results are obtained In the farm management when the owner works it himself if he has any business head at all. Next best is the leasing of the farm to a careful man on a long time lease, so that both tenant and landlord may share jointly in the benefit which may accrue from stock feeding, clover growing and dairying operations. CHEAP PLOWING. A north Iowa gasoline engine manufactory, the largest of its kind In the world, some little time ago established an experimental farm on which during tbe season closing all of the plowing, disking and seeding operations have been done with traction engines. In the matter of comparative crop yields the figures have not been fully worked out, but in the plowing operations it was found that the cost in labor, oil. etc.. of plowing an acre was 3o cents. While the large areas on which steam or gasoline tractors would give most effective and economical results are in a way incompatible with tbe widespread tendency toward a division of these large areas and the following of a more intensive type of tillage.' the fact remains that there are still a good many sections where the small tractor might be used with decided advantage as a substitute for horses In plowing and other farming operations. A feature of the above machine plowing that ought to be mentioned is that it was done at a depth of from seven to eight inches, which is nearly twice the depth of ordinary horse plowing. NEEDED INOCULATION. An Illinois farmer who sowed fourteen acres to alfalfa last year had an experience which might be a help to some of his fellows. He sowed tbe seed in the spring and did not take the precaution to Inoculate the soil with bacteria laden soil from an old alfalfa field or sweet, clovjac catch.

)c r9. y. -

the Farmers The field was a complete 'failure except for a quarter of an acre, on which the alfalfa grew luxuriantly. He was at a loss to understand this, but after , doing considerable thinking he remembered that some thirty-five years be-1 fore bis father had attempted to grow some airaira (tnen cauer lucerne) on this particular spot While the stand was not very good, enough of it developed to Inoculate the soil with the necessary bacterial life. It Is more than likely that many a failure with alfalfa is trace'able to paying no atten tlon to the matter of soil Inoculation. Sponging the back of an animal with crude petroleum will fix the ticks. If there happens to be a woman's club in the neighborhood, encourage the good wife to join it It will widen her outlook on life and furnish a much needed variety. The two or three messes of green lima beans which come from the home garden are such a rare treat that they pay well for the trouble taken in raising them. A heavy freeze which struck the Michigan and Wisconsin cranberry fields at picking time ruined the crops of many growers. As a result of this the festive berry will be high at Thanksgiving time. The natives of Hawaii can't go out In the back yard with a big slice of watermelon and enjoy It with the same zest as we do In America, if they are finicky at all, for the melons grown on tbe islands arc likely to be Infested with maggots, which appreciate a good thing as much as folks do. One of the surest as well as most profitable crops for the Pacific coast horticulturist is the English walnut The trees are , remarkably free from tbe insect pests and fungus which so often attack fruit trees, while the crop is one that Is much less perishable and can thus bo held If prices are not satisfactory. If the little people who come into the home are to reach a respectable maturity, scalding water, fly poison, rough on rats and headache tablets should so far as possible be kept out of their reach. Hardly a week passes but one sees chronicled in the daily papers the death of helpless little babies who run afoul of some one of these things. A town the writer visited the other day was an improvement over many others in that a considerable number of its vacant lots were busy growing alfalfa instead of being allowed to produce a rank growth of burdock, mustard or what not It furnished a good bite of nutritious hay for cow or horse and was quite an advertisement of the possibilities of the soil of the locality. While lime is in no sense a substitute for manure and should not be used with this thought in mind, it does serve as a corrective of soil conditions sweetens sour soils and puts them in shape to furnish food for growing plant life. A ton of lime per acre is usually sufficient to set things right, and it may be applied to the land with manure in the shape of the freshly air slacked product or it may be put on alone. Ventura county, Cal., produces threefourths of the world's supply of lima beans, the output last year being 68,000,000 pounds, worth $2,730,000 to the growers. This is one of the special agricultural interests which impress the traveler through southern California, fields of beans in the district devoted to growing them stretching as far as the eye can reach. The fields are planted to permit of horse cultivation and are kept remarkably clean. One of the many Interesting exhibits in the forestry building at the Seattle exposition was a section of a pile taken from Galveston bay last year which had been doing service for thirtythree years. That it was able to withstand the attacks of the teredo, a molluscan borer, during: this long period was owing to the fact that it was treated with creosote before being driven. Had it not been so treated it would have been riddled and worthless In a very few months. The high prices which have prevailed f or small gjahis for the past two

mm

yeafs Have eaustM"a good many more farmers to stack their grain than for many years past, due to their desire to hold it and not market it with a rush as soon as thrashed. This will result In a brighter and better quality of grain which of itself will fetch a higher price than that badly discolored. More than this, the stacking of the grain has made possible good progress in the plowing of the stubble and tbe beading off of a scad of weeds In next year's fields. With every year that goes by that easy way of harvesting corn, bogging it down, makes new friends, and this because it saves the job of busking and because hogs fed corn In this fashion do better and make more rapid gains than in the usual method of pen or lot feeding. Not only do the hogs get the corn, but at the same time a good deal of gTeen forage, which keeps their systems in good condition, enabling them to consume a generous ration of corn with the largest possible advantage. This method requires good fencing, but the gain in one season will usually pay for this. A bunch of lambs will find abundant feed In the average cornfield from the time the corn dents until December. One who has tried this plan states that the lambs will clean up the grass and weeds first and, while they will Inter browse some on the leaves of the corn, rarely disturb the ears or break down the stalks. Not only is such forage a waste that would count for nothing, but tbe devouring of it and the tramping of many seeds into the soil mean an Infinitely cleaner field the next season. Sheep will do more for a weedy, unkept farm than almost any other single agency at the disposal of the : tiller of the soil, and a flock of them i should be kept on every well managed 1 farm, when the above plan can be given a test. It Is usually the tabby cats that ar most often found kicking around under one's feet which are the poorest mousers and of least account It requires from four and one-quarter to four and one-half bushels of wheat to make a barrel of flour, while a barrel of flour will make about 280 one-pound loaves of bread. A sick animal on the farm should be isolated at once. This not only makes it possible to give the special -care needed, but will lessen the likelihood of a spread of tbe trouble provided It should prove catagious. Several counties in Wyoming were lately pl ced under quarantine by the federal authorities for the purpose of preventing what Is styled as the Hp and leg disease among sheep, an ailment somewhat similar to tbe foot and mouth disease in cattle. There is one present day fad which has a deal of common sense to back it and that is tbe rapidly Increasing tendency of people in cities and smaller towns and in some cases the country of sleeping in tents on their porches or In their back yards. It has health fulness and solid enjoyment to commend it The State Poultry association of Connecticut has brought pressure to bear on the members of the state legislature and secured tbe passage of a bill which compels dealers to sell eggs for what they really are. A placard must be placed in each receptacle containing eggs stating whether they are fresh or cold storage. A good, square look at a piece of meat reeking with tuberculosis germs, and the exhibit is being made frequently these days, Is calculated to make the consumer of meat and milk products thankful that some one in the past decade had patriotic concern enough for the public health to assist in giving this dread plague its present publicity. A Pennsylvania farmer we heard of the other day very effectively solved the problem of loosening up the clay bard pan soil of a long cropped field by sowing the field in the spring with seed of the long horn turnip and plowbag the whole crop under in August He found that the long taproots of the turnip bad penetrated the hard soil to a foot or more, and when the roots decayed the field was very effectively perforated, making possible a ready circulation of air and moisture. Alfalfa performs a similar service in loosening the son. but the turnips get action In a much shorter time.

A bright young person could outline a very sat- , lsfactory course for himself, which. If follow ed out conscientiously, would be of great value to him. while to him who may hare a trifle more spare time excellent courses of correspondence la special and even collegiate courses are offered by schools and universities of hUih staudiug. More than one earnest younu student has acquired the major part of a college education in this way. ; The chief requirements are Industry. I patience and perseverance. i

While it Is true that a tract set apart as an orchard should not be turned into a bog lot, it is nevertheless worm remembering that it is a real benefit to the trees and results in fruit that Is free from worms If a drove of hogs can be giveu tbe range of the orchard for three or four hours a day from the time when the windfall apples len to litter the ground. These drops aro usually wormy, and the worms are destroyed when the apples are consumed. When the drops reach a merchantable size tbe hogs may be kept out of the orchard until after harvest, when there will be considerable more stuff they will clean up. Besides cleaning up the apples and destroying a lot of witius. they will also devour n good many grubs and insects of one kind and another. A plain spoken friend of the writer, in referring to the practice of those on a rural party telephone line In taking down their receivers and listening to conversations when their neighborV ring sounded, dubbed it as "barkin oa the line." Not Infrequently a telephone patron will cot hear a call distinctly and will thus unwittingly overhear conversation that does not concern him. There is excuse for this, but mighty little for the practice which prevails in some sections where from two to half a dozen receivers are takea down every time a ring is given for some other patron on the line. Those who have got the habit of "hark in on the line" probably have given the practice little scrutiny, but In the last analysis it is akin to sidling up to two people engaged In private conversation on tbe street for the purpose of overhearing what they may have to say or secreting oneself behind a door or under a window to hear conversations not concerning him in the least It makes matters no better that the offender cannot be detected, but rather tbe more disgusting and small. Where it develops into a habit it is an abject admission of insufficiency and poverty of both chancier and experience aa well as prima fade evidence of morbid curiosity and poor breeding. HOME MARKET BEST Wayne county turkeys sold for less in the eastern markets than in this city, according to a local dealer. This was due to the early shipments received from different parts of the country being so large in the east that the dealers were overstocked. The warm weather experienced before Thanksgiving made it somewhat expensive to keep turkeys in cold storage for the holidays, and so the price was "nipped" slightly. It varied according to the city, but the average price is said to have been 20 cents a pound. Here the lowest price was 23 cents, and, in some places, 24 cents a pound. HOW AWFULLY RODE Mrs. S. S. Chauncey, formerly Miss Alice Carr, of this city, who Is now a conspicuous figure in London sociiy, was much non-plussed recently when the custom officials of New York refused to allow her baggage to pass through the port without first investigating her claim as being a non resident of this country. Epilepsy, Fits "My son was cured of a very bad case of epilepsy with Dr. Miles' Nervine." MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, O. "My little daughter who was afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance is now entirely well after taking Dr. Miles' Xeivine only four months." MRS. C. G. BENNETT, Alma, Mich. Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus' Dance and Spasms, are all nervous diseases. They have been cured in so many instances with Dr. Miles Nervine that it is reasonable to conclude that it is almost sure to cure you. With nervous diseases of a severe type, persistent use has almost invariably resulted in a complete cure or lasting benefits, worth many times the cost of the remedy. The best evidence you can get of its merits is to write to those who have used it. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
