could not do any household work, but
would have to lie down, niul afterwards
I would have very trying nervous spells.”
“ Didn't you have a doctor ?” sho was

“ Yes, I consulted several doctors but
aiy health did not Improve. One day a
friend asked me why I did not try Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. She assured me
that they had proved of the greatest ben
efit in the case of her daughter. In fact,
she praised them so enthusiastically that
my husband got mo a box.”
“And wbat was the result?”
“Before I had taken half of the first
box my condition was greatly improved.
The quickness with which they reached

surprising. After I had used only three j

Passing of the Fire Engine.
Harper's Weekly: The recent com-I
fpletlon of a powerful pumping plant
und a system of Independent high
pressure lire mains In the city of Phil- I
udelphia to take the place of horse or I
motor driven steam fire engines Is
■mote-worthy as Indicating the tendency
toward centralization in modern me- I
• chantcnl engineering practice. While
it may be too much to say that It
tnarks the beginning of the disappear
ance of the fire engine in large cities,
nevertheless, It seems quite clear that
■ such a plant can furnish more effective
protection to a given area, and that,
aside from Its Initial cost, It Is less
•expensive to maintain. The advantage
to the citizens Is shown by the fact
that for the district In Philadelphia
protected by the new plant Insurance
rates have been decreased 15 cents
per $100, and with the increased effici
ency of the system a further decrease
at 10 cents is promised.
In outline the new pumping system
may be described briefly ns follows:
It consists of a number of powerful
lpumps driven by gas engines and lo
cated In a single building 72 to 140
■’feet, and using an Independent and
■ never failing supply of water derived
rfrom the Delaware river. This Is dis
tributed under high pressure through
ra network of specially constructed !
■mains, aggregating some nine miles in I
(length, over the selected territory i
■■which includes about 425 acres. The j
Chose Is attached directly to hydrants :
*«f a special pattern, and It Is possible
to send four streams to the top of the
[highest skyscraper In Philadelphia.
'The plant Is said to take the place of
imore than forty-live engines, and the
■ pressure furnished and consequent ef
:Hclehcy is far beyond that of ordinary
‘tire engines.

the "great white plague" to such a de
gree that she will begin avstematlc ef

Tlie cause of the prevalence of the
disease there U ignorance, the offspring
' of which Is insanitary living. In tills
Vermont certainly is not alone; the

I as It Is by insanitary dwellings and un

The sanitary arrangements of the av

I callings, are unventllated by night or
day, wlille kerosene lamps add their
Impure off-givings to the air. Sleeping
apartments are too often crowded with
occupants who all night breathe air
kept poisonous by tightly closed win
dows. In Vermont this sort of thing
Is coming to its own so completely that
now the state is forced to fight the con
sequences—consumption—In a syste

one day have a state sanatorium for

i A JUSTIFIED BURGLAR.
i .
By Harry Haines.
(Copyright. 1905, hy W. R. Hearst.)
Arnold Todd must have become ac
| customed to It, for periodically bur
j glars relieved him of all his pocket
j money, diamonds and other personal
i bric-a-brac without ever being caught
I in the act or leaving any clue to^ their
discovery. Nothing was ever taken be
; longing to Mrs. Todd, but, as that
woman pathetically said, she had noth
ing they could take except her wedding
ring, which was on her finger, or her
clothes, which would not have repaid
the effort. For Mrs. Todd was a ver
itable household grudge. Her husband
had houses and lands, as well as money
in several banks, but he never gave
her any of his wealth, and she had to
beg for enough money to buy shoes
and stockings for the children. Their
clothes she made over from her own
and their father’s worn out garments,
and in making Mr. Todd’s trousers Into
Jackets for the little Todds she always
managed to work the knees that bagged
into the under side of elbows.
The burglaries did not worry Mr.
Todd—if the truth were told—as much
as they did Mrs. Todd. He usually
waited until the stolen goods could not
be recovered then he purchased a new
outfit and, after hiding them carefully
every night for a few months he would
grow careless and the burglars would
give him another call. Mrs. Todd
consistently promised to lie awake and
watch, but she declared she must have
keen chloroformed, otherwise she would
never have closed an eye.
’’I should thliWr, Mary,” her husband
complained, "that your anxiety about
the children would keep you awake.
Think what an effect It would have on
them to see a burglar in their room."
"But the burglars never go there,”
sahl Mrs. Todd faintly. "Children nev
er have any valuables—at least ours
don't,” she added with unconscious sar
casm.
Une night the unexpected happened.
It was the turning point in Mr. Todd's
destiny. At that hour when he should
have been sleeping the soundest he
suddenly awakened and saw by the dim
night light a strange figure in his room
—that of a man muffled in a black cloak
with a slouch hat drawn over his face
and a silk muffler round his neck and
chin. He was rifling Mr. Todd's pook
etci Mr. Todd did not own a revolver.
He would not have killed a man to save
all his wealth, much as he loved it.
He lay still for a moment, thinking
how to surprise the burglar, then, hav
ing made up his mind to a plan, he
put It Into Immediate execution. He
leapt from the bed with a bound that
took him Into the middle of the room
and pinioned the burglar from behind.
A terrific scream rent the air. Todd
held In a mighty grasp a limp, trem
bling form from which he tore the dis
guising cloak, revealing the partner of
his joys and sorrows, Mrs. Todd.
"Mary!” he gasped. "Mary, you?”
"Yes, Mr. Todd, me.” She turned and
faced him. "Oh, you needn’t be sur
prised. Where did you suppose I got
any money if I didn’t either steal it or
beg it, seeing that you never gave me
any. If I wanted a penny to put in the
contribution box on Sunday I had to
ask you for it, and explain what I was
going to do with it. You never gave me
a sovereign In your life without expect
ing nineteen shillings back In change.”
"Mary!”
It’s the truth, and you know it, Arn
old. Instead of making me a regular
allowance, as any husband ought to,
you make me save and scrimp and go
without everything but food. Many a
time I’ve left my empty purse lying
about hoping you would take the hint
and fill it. And you never did. And
all the time you carried gold, silver
and notes In your pocket—and bought
what you wanted."
"You might have taken them without
disguising yourself as a burglar, Mary."
"You would have suspected me, and
how long could I have kept the money?
No, the burglar was more welcome to
It than I would have been. But I
never dreamed that you would wake.
Now, I do not care for myself—I am
only sorry for you. The man who can
drive a woman to such straits is to be
pitied. I have as good a right to the
money as you have—I helped to make
it, and there is no law to vonvict a
wife for stealing from her own hus
band.”
Mr. Todd was seeing things past and
present, and in those few moments of
time, ns the dying do—clearly and
without prejudice. He took his wife
in his arms.
“You are nervous and tired, dear,” he
said. "Hie down and compose yourself
to rest. I see. Mary, that I am the
real burglar—I have robbed you of
your earnings and your lawful dues.
Before I sleep you shall have a bank
account In your name, and 1 will never
ask you what you do with the money.
And you can give up being a burglar
for good and all."
COOKING WITHOUT FIRE.
Ingenious Idea of a Firm Manufactu ■
ing Soups.
English World’s Work: At various
recent food exhibitions there inis been
on show an invention for heating food
without a (ire and without the usual
troublesome accessories of pots and
pans. An innocent looking tomato soup
tin lias four holes punched at one end,
and immediately this is done the whole
thing begins to fizz and boll. If is left
for five minutes, until the heating ma
terials evaporate, turned upside down,
and left for another rive minutes; then
it is opened in the ordinary way, when
thoroughly cooked soup can be poured
out The food, which is prepared by
some well known firms. Is of the first
quality. About a dozen varieties of
soup can be had, and the same num
ber of entrees, besides coffee, cocoa and
chocolate.
It Is a great find for the motorist
on a tour ror business or camping for
pleasure. Room lias to be found in the
car for the required number of tins
of the usual tinned food size, an l after
a meal, of course, the used tins can be
thrown away. A hundred other in
stances immediately suggest them
selves in which such an invention
would be invaluable—as an emergency
ration for the soldier on the field, while
reeonnoitering, on outpost duty, or In
bivouac: as a means of provision for
the aeronaut, the sportsman, the
yachtsman, the sailor and the explor
er, for a solitary occupant of a city
fleet who has grown weary of restaurant
meals, as an ally of the housewife
when cook is ill or non-existent. It
might even be adopted by the patient
member of a "first-night" theater
queue, or the adventurous loyalist who
waits long hours in the hope of view
ing some imperial processions. And
the wonder of it is that no one has
forestalled the ingenious American
discoverer, for the secret of the process
is that cold water poured on lime
brings it to boiling point.

SHADE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
If there is any member of the farmer's
household who needs comfort during the
Bummer it is the woman who does the
housework and prepares the meals. The
man in the field may think he has a warm
time of it under the broiling sun, but he
has the benefit of whatever air may be
moving; the wife, on the other hand, con
fined to the kitchen has little or no chance
for fresh air. Why not fix a place, such as
is shown in the illustration, so she can do
at least a portion of her kitchen work in
the cool shade. It need not be so elabor
ate as the arrangement shown In the cut,
although this is not so expensive as it
r * k \
r**> *
"[
looks, for it consists simply of a substan
tial frame work, the end and the two sides
filled In with wire netting, which may be
removed during the winter if desired. With
this particular arrangement inside cur
tains are used for additional shade, for
the spot is a sunny one. If partially in
the shade the curtains need not be used,
but a vine trailed to weave in and out on
the wire netting. The additional arbor is
a matter of choice. Take the first struct
ure as it stands, and inside of it arrange
a table or two with convenient chairs,
making the tables sufficiently wide to
hold ail the housewife wants to use in pre
paring for baking or for a meal. Just
imagine the comfort she would have in
this cool, shady spot, away from the close, |
hot kitchen with the range going at full
speed. Cannot one imagine she would get j
a better meal under such conditions. The f
post is much smaller than one thinks and
Is worth figuring over and then building ■
the structure at once.
UTILIZING GROUND FOR ORCH
ARDS.
All of us do not realize what planting an
orchard means. We do not always stop 1
to think that we are giving up soil to the I
orchard, which, after a few years at most, I
must be given entirely to the trees. We I
are also expending money for manure or |
commercial fertilizers, and all this with ;
the hope of obtaining a profit on the In- j
vestment from the fruit of the trees. »
Some of us realize these things but argue j
wrongly when we claim that none of the j
best ground on the farm can be spared
for the orchard, hence we set the trees 1
In soil that has been badly exhausted by
previous croppings and then we growl be
cause we do not get a crop. Then, some
of us having read of the idea of closer
planting, set the trees which are intended
for the permanent orchard and between
them we set all sorts of classes and mix
tures of varieties, anything which we
think will bear fruit. There is no ob
jection to the plan of planting trees of ,
early and quick bearing sorts between the
varieties which are to form the permanent
orchard, provided we set the trees for the
permanent orchard not less than forty
feet apart each way with one filler tree be
tween. Then, when the permanent tree
needs the space remove the filler. The j
trouble is this tree used for the filler is j
not often removed and the result is an j
over-crowded orchard. When we learn !
also that the tree must be fed and cared j
for as any crop must be fed and cared for
we Will have less trouble with the or- (
chards.
COST OF SPRAYING TREES.
An orchardist who is in despair becauso
his orchard is no longer profitable says he
cannot afford to spray his trees. He says
the outfit for the work costs so much, the
labor so much and the Bordeaux mixture
so much, making a total expense which
eats up the profit. This is one way of
looking at it, but he fails to see that with
no saleable fruit there can be no profit.
A first class spraying outfit costs quite a
little, but the labor of spraying is not an
expensive item if we place the value of
of the operator’s time at a low figure, as
we should if his business is entirely fruit
growing, for his time is part of capital
invested rather than a commodity sold to
the highest bidder. The cost of the Bor
deaux mixture varies, of course, with the
degree of strength in which it is used,
but expert fruit growers have proved that
the first class mixture need not cost more
than 7 cents a tree for the entire season
In which spraying is done. Take the cost
of a first class spraying outfit, add to It
the cost of labor even at the highest figure
one would pay If it was hired, add the cost
of the mixture and then figure out the
cost per tree for the entire orchard. As
an off-set place the price received for first
class fruit and one will readily see that,
by comparison with the receipts from the
, fruit borne on trees of an unsprayed or
I chard, the spraying proposition is a proilt
I able one.
| WHAT BECOMES OF THE CALVES?
< If the herd of cows is a good one ^nd
tho sire used as good or better than the
cows it will probably pay to raise the
calves; but, if both cows and sire are
scrubs turn the calves over to the butch
er; don’t have a hand in perpetrating
scrub stock, there’s too much of it al
ready. If the calves are to be raised start
In with them sensibly. Bear in mind they
are to be the cows of your herd and while
they ought to be treated kindly they
should not become the playmates of the
children. Too much petting spoils them
and they become unruly as cows. Then
feed them with a view to their future
work. See that the have the grain and
tho roughage to give them bone and
muscle. Le them feed on the range by
themselves rather than with the cows, es
pecially if the latter are with horns. Be
particular to shield them from storm dur
ing the period of calfhood and do not
breed them too young. Get and keep a
strong, sturdy, kindly treated calf and
you'll have a tirst class cow.
STARTED THE EXPERIMENT
PLOT?
On a number of occasions we have tried
to convince readers of this department of
the great value of an experiment plot. The
j writer took up with the idea twenty odd
years ago. after seeing the test plots for
! new varieties of strawberry plants on the
I grounds of a nurseryman, and believes
! he has saved thousands of dollars in his
operations since by reason of the expefS
i
ment plots. Take the one item of com
mercial fertilizers alone. All of us know
that certain plants require certain plant
foods to do their best, and some of us
think we know just what these are and
just about W'hat proportion they may be
found in the soil. Notwithstanding this
plainly logical argument, we have repeat
edly been astonished at results shown on
the experimental plot. We have found
that the mixtures which we considered,
from our supposed knowledge of the plant
food in a certain soil and the plant food
needs of the crop to go on that soil, just
the proper thing did not give anywhere
near the results that some other mixture
did which was not considered as avail
able except in the experiments. More
over, the larger area has borne out the
results of the trial plot. This is only one
use of the experiment plot. In the test
ing of varieties and classes, as to their
suitability for one’s soil and condition, the
experiment plot is as sure a guide as it is
possible to have, and the beauty of it is
that is costs so little. Again it is earnest
ly urged on the reader.
ANOTHER HELP FOR THE WIFE
It Is not the work of this department to
boom oil stoves, and especially any par
ticular make of which there are a dozen
good ones, but it is quite within our provi
dence to show the farmer and his wife
how money may be saved by the use of
an oil stove as well as how the house
may be kept much cooler in summer than
when a coal fire is kept. The cost of run
ning an oil stove varies, of course, accord
ing to the length of time it is allowed to
burn but when one is through with the
flame it may be turned off and the ex
pense for fuel stopped, which Is not the
case with the fire In the range. Again,
the heat may he had In three minutes
that would require an hour to obtain with
the coal stove. Here we save time. Oil
stoves are no more dangerous than an oil
lamp If they are cared for as thoroughly
as we care for our lamps. One source of
trouble is allowing the contents of the
vessel to boll over and drop down on the
burner which makes it sticky and likely
to spread the flame. An excellent way to
avoid this, when one Is cooking anything
likely to boil over, is to set a shallow tin
pan over the hole and in this set the ar
ticle holding the food. The hard worked
wife will appreciate the oil stove and with
care It will last through several summers.
UAIMfcK UK I Mfc v>Ul»(\tntLg.
As soon as the cockerels can be identified
they should be separated from the rest of
the flock and herded by themselves. If
this can be done before they get to fight
ing among themselves there will be little
or no trouble afterward. If the stock one
has is first class then the cockerels should
be watched so as to pick out the best 1 or
more needed for breeding another season
and the rest sold to the best advantage.
Just as soon as the cockerels are selected
to keep, if the rest are to go to the carcass
market they should be placed in small en
closures and ppshed hard to get them
as plump as possible and then market
them as roasters. There is more profit in
this than in carrying them through the
summer to sell at holiday time. Get them
out of the way as soon as possible so that
your time may be given to the pullets who
will produce the eggs the coming fall and
winter.
BREEDING FOR CONDITIONS.
If one raises milk to sell to consumers
the year around it is most profitable for
him to arrange his herd so that a portion
of them will calve in the fall and a portion
in the spring. If he makes butter, we be
lieve the breeding for fall calves to be
the most profitable for the simple reason
that butter brings a higher price in cool
weather and if the cows are dry or par
tially so during the summer the loss is less
and the food costs less. With swine and
sheep one should breed according to the
market he is to supply. As a rule we do
not believe that two litters of pigs a year
is profitable in the end, though this is
something each one must decide for him
self. We are too much given to follow
ing along accustomed lines instead of
watching the demands of our own partic
ular market and catering to them. The
writer is located near a number of popu
lar summer resorts, so, while we know
that eggs bring good prices during the
winter, our poultry venture is run largely
for the benefit of this summer trade and
we find it more profitable than raising
eggs in winter to sell to the permanent
population of these towns. Were condi
tions different we should operate differ
ently and probably as profitably under
such conditions. Watch your own market
and work for it regardless of what the
other fellow does whose surrounding con
ditions may be entirely different.
THE HANGING ROOST.
There are a number of plans for hang
ing roosts, but the one here described and
shown in the cut we like beter than the
others for the following reasons: It is so
arranged that in a minute it may be left
down flat against the wall and thus give
more room in the house; it is also ar
ranged so that it may be removed quickly
and taken out of doors for cleaning If de
sired. Make the roost of desired material
and on the end pieces have a strip of iron
placed, flat .it one end so that It may be
screwed to the strip of wood, and round
at the other end. Fasten to the side of
the house strips of iron bent In the middle
to form sockets for the strip of iron first
described. Placo two on either side. This
is for permanent roost which is not to be
let down, but which may be taken down
if desired by lifting the strips of iron out
of the sockets. See illustration. To sup
port this with the weight of the hens a
slender chain is run from the side wall to
each end piece. To make a roost which
may be let down simply strap hinges on
the end pieces for the strip of iron and the
sockets.

wonderfully in price—from very little'
for the exposed elevations to $500 perl
acre for good pieces in the little vales.,
The high price of these pieces and lim

there are less than 10,000 acres all told

tivation of the lands. The Islands'

profusion of compact garden growth)
all unite to make the place a dimin

losing his wife, and now that she la

gratitude knows no bounds. He says:'
"My wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She lias been
sick four years. She doctored with two
good doctors, but kept growing worse.
The doctors said she could not live.
She failed from 200 pounds down to;
130 pounds. This was her weight'
when she began to use Dodd's-Kidney
Pills, and now she weighs 190, is well1
and feeling stronger every day.
"She used to have ltheumatlsra so
bad that it would raise great bumps,
nil over her body and this is all gone,
too.
"Dodd’s Kidney Pills are a God

did. They are all that saved her. We
can’t praise them enough.”

Don’t complain of your lot.

Railroad Rato Regulation.
Testifying before the Senate com
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give to
that commission the power to regulate
railway rates:
‘‘I think the railways should make
their own rates. I think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi
ness. I have never advocated any law,
and I am not now in favor of any law,
which would put the rate making pow
er into the hands of any commission or
any court. While 1t may be necessary
to do that some time, while that is
done in some States at the present
time, while it is done in some coun
tries, I am opposed to it. * * * The
railway rate is property. It is all the
property that the railway bus got. The
rest of its proi>erty is not good for any
thing unless it can charge a rate. Now
it has always seemed to me that when
a rate was fixed, if that rate was an
unreasonable rate, it deprives the rail
road company of Its property pro
tunto. It is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad: it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When you
put in a rate that is inherently unrea
sonable, you have deprived that com
pany of its rights, of its property, and
the Circuit Court of t'he United States
lias jurisdiction under the fourteenth
amendment to restrain that. * * *
I lmve looked at these cases a great
many times, and I can only coine to
the conclusion that a railroad company
is entitled to charge a fair and reason
able rate, and if any order of a com
mission, if miy statute of a State Legis
lature takes away that rate, the four
teenth amendment protects the railway
company.” Adv.
