name "Cyclone" is given to the follow

catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease, no matter where located.
To prepare the mixture : Get from ntiy
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce Com
pound Kargon and threo ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shako well
and use In teaspoouful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
This Is a harmless. Inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upo'u
the elimlnative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to illter nnd strain from
the Mood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which. If not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane,
and an open sore or catarrh is the re
sult. Prepare some and try It, as It Is the

Experience with onion rinsing cover
lug several years leads to the belief
that the most economical as well ns
the most satisfactory preparation of

According to the observations of W.
Dietrich, of tlie Illinois -Experiment
Station, the following suggestions as
to the location and construction of hog
houses are given :
"A hog house should he located so
that It Is well drained, well lighted, and
gives access to pasture. gid shade,
pure running water and clean mud
wallows.
"The two principal kinds of hog
houses are the Individual houses and
the large houses with Individual pens.
aeh has Its points of advantage.
"For sanitation the building should
be constructed so thnt It Is dry, ven
tilated, free from dust and drafts and
so that the direct rays of the sun fall
uniii the floor of the iens at the
time the winter crop of pigs Ui far
rowed. These rays should also be ex-
luded during the summer.
'The building should be made serv
iceable by being built so that It can
be used every day iu the your, and ls
arrauged so that the largest amount
of work may ho performed with the
smallest amount of labor.
'For large houses gates and parti
tions made of wire are heat, because
they do not obstruct the light and heat
rays from the sun. do not hide the pigs
from view of the attendant, nor from
n-li other, and do not furnish lodg-
picut for disease germs.
'The large hog house Is operated ho
that two litters per year are farrowed
mid grown for market, and so that
the pigs are put on the market at the
most favorable season."

Is superior to the best hard wood and
Is surpassed by coal only In the respect
that It contains fromcwhnt more carbon.

How to Exercise the
Bowels
Your Intestines are lined Inside with
millions of little suckers, that draw the
Nutrition cut of food as It passes them.
But, If the food passes too slowly, It
decays before it gets through. Then the
little suckers draw Poison from It Instead
of Nutrition.
This Poison makes a Cas that Injures
your system more than tho food should
have nourished It.
You see, the food Is Nourishment or
Pol3on, Just according to how long It stays
In transit.
The usual remedy for
this delayed passage
(called Constipation) Is to
take a bi dose of Castor Oil.
This merel makes slippery the passage
for unloading the current cargo.
It does not help the Cause of delay a
trifle.
It does slacken the Bowcl-Musclcsmore
than ever, and thus weakens them for
their next task.
Another remedy Is to take a strong
Cathartlo, like Salts, Calomel, Jalap,
Phospate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or
any of these mixed.
What does the Cathartic do?
It mere flushes-out the Dowels with a
waste of Digestive Juice, set flowing Into
the Intestines through the tiny suckers.
But, the Digestive Juice we waste in
doing this today is needed for tomorrow's
natural Digestion. We cannot afford to
lose it.
That's why Cascarets are the only safe
medicine for tlie bowels.

They do not waste any precious fluid of

They do not relax tho Intestines by
