THE HOSTETTER CO WINS AN
OTHER CASE
Infringements on Their Bitters Not
Tolerated by United States Court
The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
Judge Townsend presiding handed down
an opinion Dec 23 1SD7 granting in
junction and accounting in the suit of
The Hostetter Company against Isaac
Sommers and Louis Joseph for infringe
ment of its Trade Mark The jurist
states in bold and clear language the
rights accruing to the Hostetter Com
pany and the liability incurred by all
who would rob them by fraud or mis
representation of the well earned repu
tation and profits of a business built up
by the efforts of half a century The
Judge says is part
The complainant is entitled to protec
tion against the appropriation of its trade
mark by any and all unfair and dishon
orable means and a court of equity has
power to grant such protection when
ever it is satisfied that an attempt has
been made by ingenious subterfuges to
invade the rights of an owner of a trade
mark In the sharp contest be
tween the individual manufacturer who
strives to acquire and retain the fruits
of industry and honesty and the field of
keen rivals seeking to wrest from him
the prize of the public good will the in
ventive ingenuity of the infringer has
conceived a great variety of devices for
-evading tie established rules of fair deal
ing Courts of equity finding that
their ultimate object and effect were to
enable and induce the retail seller of a
fraudulent imitation to palm it off on an
unsuspecting public for the genuine arti
cle and thus to contribute to the in
fringement upon the rights of the orig
inal owner have not hesitated to apply
the remedy
Cat and Dog
The Instinctive fear which cats have
of dogs is illustrated very amusingly
by stroking a dog and then caressing
a blind and new born kitten with the
same hand that has touched the dog
At once the kitten will spit and fluff
itself up in the most absurd way dis
tinguishing the smell of the beast
which experience for thousands of gen
erations has taught it most to dread

A STORY 01r tiNrr GEORGE
Ilia Answer Was Sufficient to Brine
Down the House
The late Henry George had a special
gift in the rejoinder as a weapon in
argument After his addresses on his
land tax theory he always invited his
hearers to ask questions which he de
lighted in answering Jn 18SS after a
lecture at Howard University in Wash
ington a Western Congressman ac
cepting the invitation said
After all Mr George you advocate
a system of confiscation of property
If I should take wild land and culti
vate and beautify it I would have
won undisputed title to the land itself
and you should recognize my proprie
torship in it
This sally won loud applause from
the audience but the applause was
deafening when Mr George had flung
back this reply
I thought I had explained that all
improvements ought by right to belong
to the improver On that we agree I
go farther All that you produce out
of the land by your labor should belong
to you If I should see you sitting on
the seashore fishing and should see you
catch a large fish or in other words
bring forth or produce that fish I
should maintain your right to it as
your property to use to sell to give or
bequeath but Ill be hanged sir if Ill
agree that you own the ocean from
which you prodace that fish Land
stands in the same relation to man
BAD DIGESTION BAD HEAET
Poor digestion often causes irregularity
of the hearts action This irregularity
may be mistaken for real organic heart
disease The symptoms are much the
same There is a vast difference between
the two organic heart disease is often in
curable apparent heart disease is curable
if good digestion be restored
A case in point is quoted from the New
Era of Greensburg Ind Mrs Ellen Col
som Newpoint Ind a woman forty three
years old had suffered for four years
with distressing stomach trouble The
gases generated by the indigestion press
ed on the heart and caused an irregular
ity of its actiou She had much pain in
her stomach and heart and was subject
to frequent and severe choking spells
which were most severe at night Doc
tors were tried in vain the patient be
came worse despondent and feared im

A STITCH IN TIME SAYES NINE
Heat sense of tenderness and swelling of a part
are all indications tbat there is need of instant repair
the stitch in time Where these symptoms exist on
Hie left or the right side of the womb disease of the
ovary is setting in and soon there will be if there
is not already established a discharge trifling at
first but later copious and irritating Soon also
there will be felt dull dragging pains radiating from
the ovary
Do not my sister let your malady go so far but
those of you who are already suffering m this
way should begin at once a course of treatment
with Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
It will restore the organs to their normal con
dition
In this connection Mrs E L Myers

eased and for almost a year I suffered with se
A Case of Heart Failure
She was much frightened but noticed
that at intervals in which her stomach
did not annoy iher her hearts action be
came normal Reasoning correctly that
her digestion was alone at fault she pro
cured the proper medicine to treat that
trouble and with immediate good re
sults Her appetite came back the chok
ing spells became less frequent and final
ly ceased Her weight which had been
greatly reduced was restored and she
now weighs more than for years Her
blood became pure and her cheeks rosy
This disease is a common one and that
others may know the means of cure we

Swiss Mountain Railways
Only twenty six years have elapsed
since the railway was built up the
Rigi and to day Switzerland has forty
six mountain railroads The most
popular of them at present is that up
the Wengern Alp from Interlaken via
Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald A few
years ago there were only a few hotels
near Wengern this summer seven hun
dred guests jostled each other in the
new hotels while some of the other
resorts complained of a lack of tourists
The Wengren Alp owes its present
vogue not only to the wonderful view
it affords of the Jungfrau snow fields
and frequent avalanches but to the
fact that it is the starting point of the
much discussed Jungfrau railway the
length of which from the Scheidegg
is convenient reduced to sixthousand
feet The motive power will be elec
tricity and the tunneling also will be
done with electric power The total
expenses are estimated at 2000000

It is no small job and requires not
a little lumber to make a grain bin
for the stables having four compart

of securing the same accommodations
Four empty sugar barrels are set in a

Suggestion to Buyers
The obligations of the advertiser of
live stock to his prospective patrons
are well understood He must be hon
est in describing his stock prompt and
courteous in his correspondence and
faithful In carrying out his part of a
contract with a distant customer 3he
breeder who neglects such things as
these cannot meet with success no
matter what advantages he may seem
to have in other respects But the
other party to this business the in
quirer or prospective buyer is also un
der obligations He should know what
he wants carefully describe it and
having secured a price on it from the
breeder promptly accept or reject it
Where catalogues are sent and prices
do not suit no further correspondence
of course is necessary But when a
breeder quotes a price by letter he
should have a prompt answer and it
should be just as prompt if the offer is
rejected as it would have been if ac

To Keep the Heat In
Many poultry houses become ex
ceedingly cold on winter nights be
WINDOW rKOTEC
TION
cause of the rad
iation of heat
from the interior
through the win
dows The best
plan is to have
double windows
but where these
are not practic
able arrange a
curtain as shown
in the cut with
a draw cord run
ning straight up
from the win
dow then over
head and down
to the door or al
leyway if the
house has one It
is then an easy matter to pull the cord
tight on going the rounds at night
dropping it in the morning This is an
inexpensive arrangement and will
greatly aid in keeping fowls warm
Shrunken Wheat for Poultry
There is probably no better nor
cheaper food for fowls than shrunken
wheat It is better for them than the
plump grain as it contains all the
gluten and mineral nutriment that the
plump grain does the difference being
that the latter has more starch which
poultry has no use for except to make
fat Shrunken wheat free from weed
seeds ought to be the main feed for
laying hens It makes condensed nu
triment almost equal to the fresh bone
which should be used as its supple
ment and which serves not only as
food but to help digest whatever else
besides itself is in the fowls gizzard
Soil Inoculation
The -Alabama Experiment Station
has made tests in soil inoculation and
it is announced that the dust blOAvn
from a field over another will fit the
land for a leguminous crop if such a
crop was grown on the field from which
the dust came The result is a con
firmation of the theory of German
scientists that bacteria from certain
crops may be0bottled for transporta
tion with a view of inoculating soils
and thus adapting them to the crops
desired but which previously could not
be grown to perfection on the land
Waste of Pood
To throw down twice as much food
as the flock will eat may save a little
time for the attendant but it is bad
policy and wasteful in the end Soft
food sours and even dry grain becomes
filthy The birds lose their relish for
food and the result is anything but
satisfactory
Heat for Hothouses
The old fashioned coal furnace with
flue is now out of date for cheap and
safe production of heat for hothouses
J It is almost always used by beginners
because its first cost is less But the
coal fire is not always reliable and the
heat cannot be regulated so as to pre
serve an even temperature Sooner or
later pipes with hot water will be used
and in this way the hothouses can be
saved from either extreme Too many
forget that in growing vegetables in
winter under glass an excess of heat
may prove as serious an evil as a frost
as it is harder to recover from
Hauling Loads
When hauling a load it is better to
have the horses draw as much as they
can making the load the maximum in
weight as the horses have to travel the
distance whether the load is small or
large and it is the time lost in travel
ing that makes hauling expensive If
the roads are good heavy loads can be
carried If not then two trips must be
made aud smaller loads carried Let
any farmer estimate how much he
loses as the difference in large and
small loads and loss of time in the
mud and he Avill make less objection
to road tax in the future
Quality in Pork
It is difficult to convince farmers that
more money can be made from a hog
fed on a variety of food having a fair
proportion of lean meat than on a
large and excessively fat one A hog
weighing lo0 pounds and selling for
7 cents a pound will bring 1050
while a two-hundred-pound hog will
seldom bring more than r cents per
pound or 10 Of course much de
pends on the quality of the smaller hog
but the saving is in the cost as the
smaller hog can be produced on less
food and labor and also got into market
sooner
Hogs with Sore Mouths
Where hogs are fed corn they should
not be allowed to eat apples and espe
cially not those which are sour The
effect of corn feeding is to cause acid
ity of the stomach and this makes the
hogs mouths sore When they bite a
hard sour apple or an ear of hard corn
this soreness is so much increased that
the hogs cannot eat at all Soft corn
will produqe this effect as well as hard
corn FeedTiogs in this condition beets
and some ground corn mixed with
wheat middlings until their mouths are
healed
Double Walls for Warmth
In building for warmth it should
never be forgotten that tight double
walls enclosing a dead air space are
much better than a solid wall of any
material These are equally useful to
keep out cold in winter and the exces
sive heats of summer Air is one of the
poorest conductors known and when
it is confined so that no current affects
It there is greater uniformity of tem
perature than can be secured by any
other method
Timber Grown in Europe
Valuable as is land in France Ger
many and other portions of Europe
timber is grown on portions of each
farm in some localities or in large
tracts by the governments It Is known
that tha growth of timber is beneficial
to agriculture in tempering the atmos
phere and regulating moisture and the
lesson taught by Europe with her cen
turies of enterprise should not be over
looked in this country
When Apples Are Best
There is a particular time in the ri
pening of every fruit when it is at its
best for eating and that with some va
rieties is very short So when you eat
an apple that is highly praised for its
flavor do not lose confidence in human
testimony if you do not find it all that it
has been cracked up to be There is
great difference too in apples of the
same variety grown in different locali
ties
Dispose of Surplus Stock
Though food is cheap for feeding
stock it is never worth while to win
ter what even after keeping is sure to
be worth little more in spring than in
fall The young growing stock make
a positive gain in size and weight If
any other stock does not do this see to
it that it produces something to pay
its way or else dispose of it at once
for the best price to be had
Setting a Hedge
In setting arbor vitae for a hedge let
them be small and set them about two
or three feet apart Keep them well
headed and trimmed low until the bot
tom is well filled or they will never
look well afterward If kept free from
grass and occasionally manured there
is no reason why they should not last a
lifetime
Beardless Barley
Beardless barley is not a new variety
being grown to a limited extent in the
East and rather common on the Pacific
coast where it is used for producing
hay The fact that this barley has long
been grown and has as yet made little
headway seems to indicate that its
yield is in no way remarkable
The Cow Will Repay
Rest assured on one point if a cow
be under fed or ill treated she will
make her owner pay for it at one time
or another It may not be to day nor
to morrow but the day will come when
her product will be decreased by just
so much

No Difference
Physical troubles of a like nature
coming from different causes are often
a puzzle to those who suffer pain as to
their treatment and cure as in the case
of lumbago from cold or a strain in
some way to the same muscles The
treatment of such need not differ one
with the other Both are bad enough
and should have prompt attention as
nothing disables so much as a lame
back The use of St Jacobs Oil will
settle the question Its efficacy is so
sure in either case there is no difference
in the treatment and no doubt of the
cure
