V., Roanoke, Va., says: “I suf- fered a long, long time with my back, and felt dragey and listless and all the time. I lost from my usual .. weight, 225, to 170. Urinary passages were too frequent and I had to get up often at night. I had headaches and dizzy spells also, but my worst suffering was from renal colic. After { began using Doan’s Kidney Pills-I passed a gravel stone as big as a bean. Since then I have never had an attack of gravel, and have picked up to my former health and weight. I am a well man, and give Doan’s Kidney Pills credit for it.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a bow Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

Sons of the Bluegrass Will Be There for a Week. “Old Home Week,” which has be come an institution in New England, has been adopted by thf\ Kentuckians, according to Everybody’s Magazine. Founders of states, dauntless pio- neers, great by many names and in many ways—it would be painting the lily to praise the sons of Old Kain- tuck; and the loveliness of the Ken- tucky women is beyond all. praise. Land of colonels and rivers and moun- tains and blue grass; raiser of horses swifter than the wind and mint julips inimitable; rich in statesmen, big, fertile; she of the kind heart and the “glad hand”—come, come, we shall be dropping into poetry next, and Ken- tucky has poets enough of her own. This is to say, “homecoming for all Kentuckians who have wandered to other lands or foreign shores” is scheduled for Louisville this month. Judges and governors by the mile will be on hand. Henry Watterson is to make the main speech of welcome. “Don’t you want to come home and see the folks?” You bet! CLEVER DOCTOR Cured a 20 Years’ Trouble Without Any Medicine. A wise Indiana physician cured 20 years’ stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells: “T had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried allopathic medicines, patent medicines and all the simple remedies suggested by my friends but grew worse all the time. “Finally a doctor who is the most prominent physician in this part of the state told me medicine would do me no good, only irritating my stom- ach and making it worse—that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee. “L cried out in alarm, ‘Quit drinking coffee!’ why, ‘What will I drink?’ “‘Try Postum,’ said the doctor, I drink it and you will like it when it is made according to directions, with cream, for it is delicious and has none of the bad effects coffee has.” “Well, that was two years ago, and I am still drinking Postum. My stom- ach is right again and I know Doctor hit the nail on the head when he de- cided coffee was the cause of my trouble. I only wish I had quit it years ago and drank Postum in its place.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Never too late to mend. Ten days’ trial of Postum in place of coffee works wonders. There’s a reason. Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.” worth $500. one mule was photographed the. aver- ge price of farm labor without board Why It Exists and How It Has Been Solved in Pennsylvania—By Prof. Thomas F. Hunt, of College of Agriculture, Cornell University. No class has gained so much from the ‘introduction of labor-saving ma- inery as did those who formerly did the labor by hand. The reason we are so much better off to-day, the regson we have the comforts and lux- uries beyond the fondest dreams of former generations, is due to the fact that the labor of each man has been made so much more effective through these labor-saving devices. ‘I'he hum- blest citizen shares In this improve- ment. Not all share alike, and not all share equitably, but each genera- cpportunity to go beyond the rudi- ments of the district school, graduates to-day from both high school and col- lege, and thus spends most of his time in school until he is past 21 years of age. There are to-day many farmers lcoking for help because their sons are in college. Much of the help employed on the farm has always been between the ages of 14 and 25. These young men are now in school nine months in the year instead of three months, as formerly. A generation ago it was a common sight to see boys in the dis- trict school between the ages of 18 and ONE.MAN WORKING ONE HORSE AND CULTIVATING ONE SIDE OF ONE ROW OF COTTON. tion sees the race probably sharing more equitably than any generation which preceded. In our first illustration is shown a man cultivating’ cotton with one mule. In cur second illustration,is shown a map plowing for wheat and another harrowing, each with six horses; and even a nine-horse team is not un- usual in the great west. Later the cotton will be picked by hand. ‘The picker will be able to pick not to ex- ceed 300 pounds of seed cotton, yield- ing 100 pounds of cotton and 200 pounds of seed, worth altogether less than $15. The wheat will be har- vested by a machine drawn by 28 horses and driven by one man. With three other men this machine will cut, thresh and bag 700 bushels of wheat, In the state where this / Was $12 per month. In the state where the six-horse teams were photo- 22 for a few months each winter who could scarcely add common fractions. The district school to-day is largely cepleted of children above the ages of 14 because the farmer’s sons and daughters are now attending high schools and other institutions of Jearning. « Another cause for the scarcity of farm labor is that work in the farm offers no direct opportunity for ad- vancement. The fireman on a railroad may hope to become an engineer, the brakeman to become a conductor. There are opportunities in many in- dustrial and mechanical establish- ments for the rise of the industrious and clever, so that a man may enter their service with the hope of being able to marry and support a family. It will probably be said that this ar- ticle deals almost exclusively with | been given the sea, causes and not with remedies. This’ is true. It is easier to deal with causes than with remedies. Causes are gen- TWO MEN, CREASING THE graphed the price of farm labor was $81 per month. Why? Because in the latter case a man’s labor is more pro- ductive. One difficulty with farm work has been especially accentuated by the en- try of farm machinery. I refer to the difficulty of keeping the farm laborer continuously employed. This has al- ways been a difficult problem on the farm because of the variations in the feasons and the variations in the weather from day to day. The wide dif- ference between those industries which are carried on beneath roofs and with- in doors, and farming which is sub- ject to the caprices of the weather, is too obvious to need to be more than mentoned here. The following table shows the average acres. in several crops in New York state and Ohio on the average sized farm: TABLE SHOWING THE AVERAGE ACREAGE PER FARM OF PRINCI- PAL FARM CROPS IN 1900.

Another cause for the scarcity of la- bor on the farm is the fact that the age of the employed has been raised. A generation ago the oldest son’ had time for neither college ner high school education, because he was need- | ed on the farm. It was the boast of the boy: to be able to do a man’s work when he was 16, and even at the age f 12 he did much work that is now EACH WORKING SIX HORSES AND THUS GREATLY IN- RESULTS OF MAN LABOR. eral. Remedies must be local. Reme- cies, however, must be made in the light of causes, and without an under- standing of them are likely to be futile. Farmers must make up their minds that they will have to pay more for) farm labor than they have been doing. | ‘they must so organize their farm that they can afford to pay a higher price. After all, this higher value of farm la- bor is not without its compensations. It makes the farmer’s own labor and his superintendence worth more. Per- sonally, I believe thaf the higher farm labor becomes the better for the farm- er in the long run. Since one of the greatest difficulties on the farm to-day is that farm labor is not needed con- tinuously throughout the year, it fol- lows that the farmer should, if possi- ble, so organize his farm that he can profitably employ help throughout the year. It may be that the problem of farm jread in a Tewspa) a ‘She ‘tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for | wish to visit their hospices in the reer ; = FACTS GUARANTEED Neuraigia and Anaomia are Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilis.

My skin was pale and sal- low and I was troubled with dizziness, fainting spells and fits of indigestion. I ‘Was very nervous and would start at the slightest sound.

The monks of the Grand St. Ber- nard will soon make their debut as chauffeurs, After a struggle lasting over a year they have received the permission from the Valais and Italian authori- ties to run a motor car service be- tween the hospices of Grand St. Ber- nard and Simplon—their properties— and Domodossola and Aosta. The chauffeurs will be chosen from the monks themselves, who will wear cowls. The cars, which are being specially constructed to climb the steep gradi- ents, will at the beginning be em- ployed for the transport of supplies only. Later, however, the monks intend to start a service for tourists who summer season.—Geneva Correspond- ent London Express.

He got together a lot. ot Italian laborers for the purpose of building: a public\highway. He hap- | pened to get this contract completed about the time of harvesting corn. He found that he could let these men out to farmers to help finish tkeir “fall work, This led to a demand for such help and he now keeps 20 to 40 such men constantly on hand, furnishing them a house in which to live and in- cidentally selling them a portion of tbe food which they require. Farmers telephone for help whenever they need it. He pays the men $1.50 a day when they work, but does not guarantee them work, and charges the farmer 31.65 per day for the men. ‘Thus he makes 15 cents per day on each la- borer when they work for others, and also has men on hand to do his own work.

Longfellow Estate Changes Hands. _The famous Longfellow estate in Byfield, which has. been in possession of the family for more than 200 years, has been divided and sold, says the Newbury (Mass.) Dispatch. The. house is now occupied by Charles Longfellow, eighth in line of descent. Notwithstanding assertions to the contrary, it has always been declared by the Byfield Longfellows that the poem “The Village Blacksmith” was written by Henry Wadsworth Long- fellow in recognition of the smithy which. once stood on this very site, and was conducted by Stephen Long- fellow, the second of the name, who was born in 1685. Other famous po- ems were written there. Nothin’ Doin’. “Your poetry is all right,” said the fair maid, “and I love it, but I can never love you.” “Why the distinction?” queried the youth with unbarbered hair. “Your poetry,” answered the maid, “is not as poor as you are.” UNIFORM TEMPERATURE, A Friendly Talk on How It May Be Attained. “John, go down to the basement and shut off that furnace; this house is like an oven.” Down John goes to the cellar, closes all the drafts and returns to Mary’s side to enjoy his evening’s rest. It is a bitter cold night outside and John, in his anxiety to keep the house at a comfortable temperature, had heaped up the furnace with good hard coal, opened up the drafts and “let her run.” The result was as Mary said, the house soon was as hot as an oven, and John had to take another trip to the basement to close the drafts he had an hour previously opened. Time passed quietly and pleasantly in this happy home and John and Mary sat reading, occasionally chat- ting and thoroughly enjoying their comfortable evening together. “It is a terrible cold night?” John remarked, “and I believe the ther- mometer will: get away down in the forties before morning,—I guess I will sit up until after midnight to keep the furnace going pretty strong.” “You had better attend to it now,” said Mary, “for I begin to feel the cold creeping down my back.” Down to the cellar again goes John and opens up the drafts which but a short time before he had closed. John was naturally a good-natured fellow, but when he returned to his cozy chair he muttered, “I wish I had a machine to regulate that furnace.” “Well,” said Mary, “Why don’t you buy one? When I was at Aunt Sarah’s in Minneapolis last year she had what they called a Thermostat in their sit- ting room, and that epened and shut the drafts to the furnace so that the house was always at a uniform tem- perature.” “Why, how could it do that?” said ! John. “Oh, simple enough,” said Mary. “It worked by contraction and expan- sion of metal caused by the change in the temperature of the room. As the metal in the Thermostat contracts or expands it comes in contact with a metal point which is connected with an open circuit battery and a spring motor which is connected by chains running over pulleys to the furnace, so that when either circuit is closed the motor is set im motion and the drafts are opened or closed as may be directed by the temperature of the house.” “That is certainly wonderful,” said John, “but it will keep the house too hot for some people and too cold for others. Different families like differ- ent temperatures.” “That is so,” answered Mary, “but you can set it to any degree of heat you wish between 60 and 80 and it will al- ways respond just where you set the index.” “You certainly have interested me,” said John, “and I will look into the matter further. If it will do what you say I shall certainly have one. Will it work on anything but furnaces?” “Certainly; hot water or steam plants and all kinds of stoves can be fitted with this apparatus, anything that has a front and back draft.” “Where did you say she got it?” asked Jobn. “I didn’t say,” said Mary, “but they are made in M%aneapolis by the Elec- tric Heat Regulator Co.” “Well, I'll write to-morrow for one,” said John. “I know you will never regret it,” answered Mary, The admiration of virtue may be rewarded by a chance to admire heav- en from afa SHIP US YOUR CREAM | We pay top prices and spot cash for y n.
