een Os Zs RESTCRED TO HEALTH. Many weak, suf- fering women do not know that their kidneys are sick. Backache tells of sick kidneys, and so,do urinary disor- ders. Sick kid- neys make bad blood, and bad blood makes bad digestion, heart palpitation, dizzy headaches, nervous- ‘ness, sleeplessness, sciatica, rheumatic pains and constant depression. Can’t be restored to health until the kidneys are cured. Read how one woman was restored by using Doan’s Kidney Pills: Mrs. H. A. Var. Sickle, 311 6th Ave., §. W. Roanoke, Va., says: “Kidney trouble was hereditary in our family and I had been so continually afflicted with the disease that I began to des- pair of even temporary relief. Some- times I suffered so severely that I was confind to my bed. The aching in my back was intense and the kidney dis- order caused an excess of uric acid in my blood which impaired my diges- tion. I was compelled to deny myself of many of the little delicacies of diet. The doctors diagnosed my case as congestion of the kidneys. I had about given up hope when I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills, but ! took only a few doses when their curative powers were proven to my satisfac- tion. I have never been without them in the house since.” Doan’s Kidrey Pills are sold by all dealers; price 50 cents; or mailed on receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N, Y.

The sweet thing tripped into the of- fice and laid a receipt on the counter. “Is this the American Express com- pany?” she asked. “No, ma’am, it’s the United States,” said the clerk. “Oh, well, that will do. This says American, but of course United States is all the same.” And it took five minutes to convince her that it wasn’t—New York Press. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis- eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf: is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube {s inflamed you have arumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf- ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal cond!- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous gurfaces.

Mrs. Park—No. I’m sure he just said it in the hope that I wouldn’t ask him to buy me a new one.—Judge. His Yearn.

Several years ago John Jerome was in the ticket office of one of our prom- inent play houses. ‘Ali Baba; or, the Forty Thieves,” was the attraction. Seats were scarce and the prices high. A farmer approached the office and laying down a $5 bill asked for the best seat in the house. He had prob- ably never paid more than 50 cents for the best seat in the ‘‘opera house” in his town. John handed him a tick- et for a seat high up in the bald-head row and 50 cents in change. The countryman looked at John and passed the ticket back to him, saying: “Son, keep the ticket; I don’t care about seeing the thirty-nine.”—Phila- delphia Public Ledger. “Forty THIN DIET. No Nourishment in It. It is not easy to keep up when cof- fee has so ruined the stomach that food won’t digest. A Mo. woman says “I had been an invalid for two years from stomach trouble caused by coffee, gotso bad I couldn’t digest food, and for quite a while I lived on milk and lime water —-nothing but that—a glass of milk and lime water six times a day. In this way I managed to live, but of course did not gain. “It was about 5 months ago I be- gan using Postum Food Coffee; I did not need the milk and lime water after that, for I gained rapidly and I can now eat a good meal and drink from 1 to 3 cups of Postum each meal and feel fine. “I would not go back to coffee for any reasonable pay. I like Postum better than coffee now, and make Pos- tum by directions on box and it is just fine; never found a better way to make it than on box. Now this is all true and you can easily prove it.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum is a brew from field grains with all the nourishment left in. It makes red blood and rebuilds partic- ularly well where coffee has done damage as it does to nearly all who drink it. A 10 days’ trial of Postum in place of coffee works wonders. There’s a reason.

When traveling around from place to place it is a nuisance, but he wants it so often whem he has arrived at his destination that he often wears it or carries it with him in a hat box made for the purpose. In the former in- stance he is under necessity of having it ironed frequently, and in the latter he is troubled with a bulky package which is of no use to him except when the hat is in it. The advantage of this box illustrat- ed is that when not in actual use it can be folded flat and placed on a car seat or on the floor without occu- pying much space. When it is desired to place the hat in the box the owner has only to open the box as he would a collapsible drinking cup, setting the wire struts in position to prevent its closing again, when the hat may be in- serted and the cover closed, as though Folds Up When Not in Use. it were a stiff box. The sections are all united by a flexible cloth lining, which is drawn tightly from top to bottom when the box is expanded and lies loosely vetween the sections when they are collapsed. James Frye of Toronto, Canada, is the inventor. Fires from Electric Wires. It was claimed at one time that the substitution of electricity for gas and petroleum in lighting would result in a lessening of the danger from fire. But a recent report issued by the Montreal Fire and Light Committee tends to show that the danger has been increased rather than diminish- ed by the change. The report gives a record of 150 fires due to electric currents during the last three months of 1903, with an aggegate loss of $1,500,000. When classed according to causes, the list shows that twenty-two fires were due to the contact of tele- phone, telegraph and other low poten- tial wires with electric lights and other high tension circuits. Wires grounded on gas pipes were respon- sible for nineteen fires. Eleven fires were due to the defective wiring of gas fixtures, five to the puncturing of gas pipes by the currents on flexible cords wrapped around them, three to short circuits in moldings, three to open link fuses in porcelain cut out bases, fifteen to overheated resist- ance 2oils and heating devices, and nine to incandescent lamps coming in cantact with inflammable material. In the same report 135 fires are re- corded in which electricity was sus- pected of being the cause, but in which all material evidences of origin were destroyed.—Toronto Globe. Great Things Promised. At present the phenomena of physics are, as it were, divided into two camps: acoustics and heat, which are explained from the laws of me- chanics; and electricity, with its sub- division, light, which has not been satisfactorily thus explained. For half a century we have tried to explain electricity mechanically, and may be said to haye failed; let us now try to explain mechanics electrically, and see where that will lead us. Perhaps it is a mere matter of words whether we say that all matter is electrically charged or that all matter is modified conclusions if, in explain- ing phenomena, the laws of electricity should be taken as the premiss from which we start, instead of, as hitherto, the inertia of matter. And, inasmuch as the more nearly any explanation approaches the truth, the better does it point the way to fresh knowledge, the fact that so radical a change may be about to take place is one of the reasons why there is a feeling of ex- pectancy in the air. It-is hoped that light may be thrown upon universal gravitation and other obscure prob- lems, and it is suspected that science is trembling on the verge of something | great.—Nineteerth Century. New Safety Razor. All razors may be converted into safety razors by means of a recently patented guard. The novel features, aside from its universality, of this de- vice as enumerated by the inventor are simplicity, economy and lightness of structure, ease with which the guard may be removed for cleaning and the dispatch and convenience with which it may be placed in posi- tion. The essential and characteristic ‘construction of the shank, or guard, is the clamping mechanism, by means of .which it may be locked on one side or the other of the blade, or be con- stantly removed. The guard is struc- ‘turally formed to slip over the razor back by an_ endwise longitudinal movement, in which position the edge lies along the cutting edge and sub- ject to proper spacing. The common ‘sight of a cut chin, particularly among self-shavers whose age has affected their steadiness of hand, attests the necessity that exists for a convenient PEN’ FOR FORTY HOGS. Structure in Which the Live Stock Will Always Thrive. M. L. S.—I would like to see a plan for an up-to-date pen to accommodate from thirty to forty hogs. I have plen- ty of suitable lumber to construct it with. Ans.—The accompanying plan is for a@ pen 58 feet long and 20 feet wide. It can have a flat roof, or an upper story may be put on to hold bedding, feed, etc, and to open up for a slaughter house by having a windlass above. If the roof is flat and no upper story is provided the windows should be placed in the roof, but oth- erwise the windows would require to be set in the wall. The walls and ceilings are continu- ous, practically air tight and consist of the following layers, commencing from the outside: Inch lumber, two plies of building paper, four inches of kiln dried planer shavings, two thicknesses of building paper and one Ground Floor Plan of Pen for Forty Hogs. layer of inch lumber. The door and troughs are composed of cement-con- crete; the troughs are marked T and stand under the woven wire fence. The pen is ventilated by openings near the ceiling and floor, which pass through the wall, and point down- wards on the outside. The partitions between the pens and feed alley, marked F in the cut, are of heavy woven wire, so that all the pigs may be seen from any part of the pen and a.t parts of the building are equally well lighted. The pens hav> elevated sleeping beds, which are always dry and clean; these are marked S. P., and are about three feet from the floor and have narrow ledges at the outer edges to hold the bedding. Con- nected with each pen is a small yard marked Y, inclosed with a woven wire fence. Each yard is about 10 feet square and floored with cement. The feed passage, which is eight feet wide, has a boiler marked B, for steaming feed at one end. Close to this is a trough or box S. F. for steam- ing feed, and next to that are the feed bins. Feeding Pullets; Eggs for Hatching. E. S.—Will the feeding of pepper and prepared poultry food to pullets during the breeding season injure the hatching quality of the eggs? How should eggs be saved for hatching? The use of black pepper occasional- ly in the mash, in small quantity, will be rather beneficial than otherwise. It must not be continued too long. Pre- pared poultry foods—in fact, all sti- mulants to winter egg laying—are cal- culated to weaken the germs in spring eggs, especially if the birds are close- ly confined. The best way to save eggs for hatching is to have them laid when the germs of the eggs are thought to be stronger; that is, when the fowls have had a run out after their long term of winter confinement. Where hens have had a run during the winter in barn, stable or shed, it is possible that the germs of the eggs laid by them may be strong at an earlier date. The eggs should be placed with small end down and kept in a cool, but not cold temperature, and they should be put into incubator or under hens as soon after they are laid as possible. Moss in Meadows. E. C. W.—My meadow is badly in- fested with moss from one to four inches high. How can it be destroyed without plowing the land? Ans.—The usual treatment for mea dows infested with moss is to give them a top dressing of lime, and it is probable that this does some good, but it is sometimes not very effective. 1] do not think that there is any good method of freeing land of such a thick growth of moss as you describe, ex- cept by plowing it up and giving it a heavy dressing of stable manure. The presence of the moss indicates that this treatment is necessary. If the land requires drainage, the question must be considered whether it is worth that extra expenditure. Where a little moss occurs in a field in tufts, these may be sometimes got rid of by sowing in the hummocks, which opened up by frost in the spring, a good handful of orchard grass and white clover. Of course any other grass suitable to the locality would do, but it would be well always to in clude the white clover.—J. F. Thin Shelled Eggs. H. B.—My hens lay eggs with thin shells and very tough skins. They are fed mash of bran, corn meal and meat scraps in the morning and whole corn, oats and buckwheat at night. Ans.—The hens require lime. This may be given by placing a piece of lime in the drinking water and by leaving bits of wall plaster about on the floor of the house. Finely crushed egg shells and small quantities of lime added to the mash would also help the condition. It is considered by many poultry keepers that the grain should be given in the morning and the mash late in the afternoon. The grain should be thrown among litter of cut straw so’that the birds will get vigorous exercise while procuriig their breakfast; this stimulates their circulation for the day and keeps them safety razor of universa’ application. { in fine trim for laying. 28 Army venerals Send Letters of E ndorsement To The Inventor of the Great Catarrh Remedy, Pe-ru-na, King of Confederate Army, Writes: “I unhesitatingly state that I am convinced Peruna is a medicine that will effect all the cures that is claimed for its use.”—J.
