One of the first persons a Hyde Park woman saw upon returning from a sum mer trip to the Michigan lakes recently was her negro washerwoman, who called at the house ready to return to work. During the conversation that followed the woman asked: ’Mandy do you and your husband quar rel like you used to?” "Nom,” replied the negress. •That’s nice. Aren't you glad he doesn't quarrel with you any more?” "Yes'm, 'deed Ah is.” "Well, 'Mandy, what caused you two to stop fighting?” "He died.” replied the washerwoman. YOU HAVEJO RIGHT To Suffer from Cqnstlpdtlon, Bowel and Stomach Trouble. Q. What Is the beginning of sickness A. Constipation. Q. What is Constipation? A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the waste matter which lies in the alimentary canal where It decays and poisons the eu- ! tire system. Eventually the results are death under the name of some other dis ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach and Dowel trou ble, at the present time. Q. What causes Constipation? A. Neglect to respond to the call of Na ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Exces sive brain work. Mental emotion and im proper diet. Q. What are the results of neglected Constipation? A. Constipation causes more suffering than, any other disease. It causes rheuma tism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. It is the one disease that starts all others. Indigestion/ dyspepsia, diarrhea, loss of sleep and strength are its symptoms—piles, appendi citis, and fistula, are caused by Constipa tion. Its consequence* are known to all physicians, but few sufferers realize their condition until it Is too late. Women be come confirmed Invalids as a result of Con tinuation. Q. Do physicians recognize this? A. Yes. The first question your doctor •sks you is “Are you Constipated7* That is the secret. Q. Can it be cured? A. Yes, with proper treatment. The common error is to resort to physics, such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, injections, etc., every one of which is In jurious. Tfcey weaken and increase the malady. You know this by your own ex perience. i/. What then should be done to cure It? A. Get a bottle of Mull’s Grape Tonic at once. Mull’s Grape Tonic will positively cure Constipation and stomach trouble in the shortest space of time. No other rem edy has before been known to cure Con stipation positively and permanently. <i. What is Mull’s Grape TonicV A. It is a compound with 40 per cent of the Juice of^Concord Grapes. It exerts • peculiar strengthening, healing influence upon the intestines, so that they can do their work unaided. The process Is grad ual, but sure. It is not a physic. It is unlike anything else you have ever used, but It cures Constipation, Dysentery, Stom noh and Bowel trouble. Having a rich, fruity grape flavor, it is pleasant to take. As a tonic it is unequalled, insuring the system against disease. It strengthens and builds up waste tissue. Q. Where can Mull’s Grape Tonic be had ? A. Your druggist sells it. The dollar bottle contains nearly three times the 50 cent slxe. Good for ailing children and nursing mothers. A free bottle to all who have never used It, because we know it will cure you. 124 FREE BOTTLE 10145 Send this coupon with your name and ad dress and druggist’s name, for a free bottle of Mull’s Grape Tonic for Stomach and Bowels,to MULL'S CRAPE TOXIC CO., SI Third Avenue, Keck Ielnnd, IUImU Give Full Address and Write Plainly The #i..oo bottle contains nearly three times the $oc size.

Chicago, Sept—The Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, manufac turers of a widely known proprietary medicine, lias brought suit in the Su perior Court of the city of Chicago against the Curtis Publishing Com pany of Philadelphia, alleging that it I lias iieen damaged to the extent of $250,000 by a recent article in the Ladies’ Home Journal. The suit is based on a statement re cently made in that journal that a tes timonial as to the merit of the remedy manufactured by the plaintiff, alleged to have been given by Congressman George H. White of South Carolina was fraudulent, denial from Mr. White that be ever gave such a testimonial also belug printed. The Peruna Company declares that Congressman White did give the tes timonial lu good faith, that It has tw. original letters from Mr. White. It declares that Mr. White was led to repudiate the testimonial through a misunderstanding. This is the second large damage suit that has been filed against the Curtis Publishing Company since it inaugu rated its attacks on “patent medi cines." One Thing Lower. From Judge.

"How was that?” "The literary editor kicked him Into the vasts basket.” SIMPLE PLAN OF VENTILATION There are no small buildings on the farm ' that cannot be amply ventilated by the simple plan here described. Generally such buildings are of the single or sloping roof sort so that the plan can be carried out at small expense. In the rear of the house, near one corner build an air shaft, made by joining at edges four boards about eight inches wide. Set this into the ground or fasten to the floor if of boards so that it will be ilrm. Have It open at the top, of course, and make it three or four feet high. In the side of it next to the wall of the building and about a foot up from the floor cut out a piece so as to have an opening the width of the board and about six inches the other way and in the side of the building opposite this hole In the shaft cut a hole of corresponding size. Cover these two holes as well as the hole In the shaft with wire netting so that no bird or small animal can get in. This is the shaft by which the air enters the building. Then build another shaft long enough to reach from about eight inches to a foot from the floor up* through the roof so that it will come out through the roof a foot or fifteen inches. The top of this shaft must be opened so that the opening will be protected from rain. The lowrer end is to be covered with wire net ting. Fasten this firmly at the roof end and with corner supports to the floor at the bottom. The plan is simple, easy to construct and works splendidly. It is par ticularly good for ventilating poultry houses. In the plain illustration A repre sents the shaft through which the foul air passes and B the shaft through which the fresh air enters. FEEDING WARM MASHES. Now that the season is approaching when the poltry must be houser more or ■ less closely the annual subject of feeding the warm mash comes up for considera-^ tion. We were formerly strong advocates of the warm mash in the morning; then we turned to the plan of giving it at night : and liberally in either period. Now we j stand on a middle ground for with our j flocks mainly of the larger breeds, it was found that the liberal feeds of warm mash ' put the fat on and when the fat gets nn I too heavily the eggs begin to fall short, \ We then worked along the plan of feed- , lng the mash in the morning during mod- j erate weather and at night in colder i weather, but the quantity is far more lib eral; indeed, the fowls are not a little hungry when they have finished, but, on the other hand, they don’t stand around with a dreamy look in their eyes which comes from a full stomach, but get to wrork vigorously to scratch out the grain ( In the chaff on the scratching shed floor. ; To make up for our stinginess in quan tity 6f mash we make it appetizing by using a little wheat in the bran as well as bits of meat and vegetables chopped fine. Experience through two seasons of feeding in this manner has convinced us that it is the correct plan. Don’t go to the other extreme and cut the mash out entirely until this suggestion has been tried. WHAT ARE FIRST GRADE APPLES Several inquiries have been received ask- j lng for additional information along the lines of our suggestions on the assorting and packing of high-grade fruit, one point being to decide as to what constitutes high grade or first class fruit. One author ity claims that the ftrst grade of apples should never be less than a stated diamet er; this is not a safe rule for some varie ties are much smaller than others while with some other sorts the size would be all required while the specimen might be de- j cidedly faulty in other respcts. A safe j guide would be to select the largest sped- j mens that are nearly uniform as to size, ! but a trifle smaller these should be packed separately, yet sold as first class j fruit. Next to perfect specimens it is important that the fruit be as j nearly uniform in size as possible, for in variably the smaller specimens will re- ; duce the price obtained for the lot. This holds good with all fruits and vegetables, j We have seen specimens which were real- , ly third grade as to size sold readily as : good seconds because they were free from j blemish, bringing a price more than larger j specimens less perfect would have brought, j It follows, of course, that when the de- ; mand is great and the supply small the j prices will rule high but even then, if j there are first class buyers among your j customers, it will pay to grade closely. TRY THE HOME MARKET. A grower of good fruit, vegetables and ' poultry ought not to have much trouble In working up an excellent trade in his nearest large tow’n if he will take some trouble in assorting his products, packing them attractively and offering only the f best sorts. Yes, this is the old story we have told before but it needs repetition ' frequently. All of us have seen growers who would go to considerable trouble to j prepare their products for the commission man in the city, yet be positively hasty in the way they prepared the stuff for the home market. They will be careful in assorting for the commission man because they Know the goods will be examined be fore they are paid for, but they will work off all the poor stuff in the middle of the basket for the home market trusting to luck not to get caught. This Is dishonesty, of course, but it takes type to make things stand out in their true light. Many of the men w’ho do this thing do not really mean to be dishonest for I have heard many of them grumble because they could not work up a good home trade, seemingly oblivious to their faults. Just as surely as a good home trade can be worked up by first class products properly and at tractively presented, it is also just as cer tain that failure will resuit If one works along the other line indicated. BALANCED RATIONS FOR SWINE While our hogs get plenty of corn we go to considerable effort to furnish them variety In the rations and try to give it to them in such a way that it forms a bal- . anced ration. We are believers in consld- j erable soft food for swine and consider a ration of wheat middlings and gluten meal wth a small portion of process oil 1 meat a feed that will keep them In good weight and in the finest condition. These grains are mixed thoroughly and then skim milk is used so that the mass is about like thin porridge. This our hogs get twice daily with corn on the cob for the third meal and something in the way of root crops or good kitchen slop in which is mixed vegetable and fruit parings for the in-between meal. This is the food dur ing the summer (except that the corn is cut out) as well as during the winter. The range takes the place of the third meal of slop and vegetables but with these excep tions we try to feed about the same the year round and find that it pays. FALL MULCHING OF TREES. If it is thought necessary to apply mulci* j around the base of trees or shrubs as a winter protection care must be used, not to do the work too soon, particularly if anything in the nature of a fertilizer is needed such as coarse stable manure, for there is always danger of inciting renewed growth in the tree just as it is beginning to go to sleep for the winter and this growth, being extremely tender, will be killed by the first cold weather, probably with much injury to the tree. A better plan is not to apply the mulch until the ground freezes, applying more, if neces sary, later on. By far the best plan of all is to use earth with which to protect the roots of the tree or shrub during the first cold days; put it on several inches thick for three or four feet around the tree. Later, if it gets too cold, a little coarse manure may be put on over the soil. By this plan the tree or shrub will have full protection without danger of inciting a late growth. WINTER PROTECTION FOR VINES Many who have climbing vinos around the house have set varieties that ought not to have been planted. The climate may be too cold for certain tender vines and it will be impossible to winter them with success. The best plan Is to have vines that are entirely hardy in your cli mate. The honeysuckles, the American Ivy and most of the heavily wooded sorts are hardy or so nearly so that they need , only a mound of earth around the base to carry them through severe winters. The Clematis family are readily protected as the tops usually die back so that only care is needed of the roots which Is readily ; given by the mound of earth and over this some coarse half-rotted manure free from straw. In some sections it is the custom to wrap tender vines and shrubs in straw. There is no decided objection to this if the top is left open so that a cir ‘ culation of air will pass over the shrub and if one Is sure no mice will get in near the bottom to gnaw tho tender shoots. The plan of laying over the partially tender ! vine and covering it with soil is also adopted in some sections, but a vine so ; tender as to require this treatment ought : not to be planted. 'FALL PLANTING OF TREES, ETC. In very cold climates the fall planting ! of trees is not feasible, but there is no I reason why the trees cannot be bought I and “heeled" in so as to be ready for ; early spring planting. In the more mod erate sections there is everything in favor of fall planting; the soil Is in good condi tion for the trees, the work may be done with more comfort, and one is apt to get better trees because the nurseryman is not so busy in the fall as In the spring and I neither are you. On the other hand quite , a little more care is necessary in fall planting. The roots must be pruned so that all bruised or broken pieces are re moved, the soil must be well worked in around the roots and firmed down well all the way to the surface of the ground. Then, the tree must be staked if there is likely to be high winter winds and lastly a mound of earth should be heaped up around the base of the tree both as pro tection against frost and to help the tree withstand the wind. With these things done the majority of the trees will V.ve : and thrive. The same thing appli to flowering shrubs, most of which can be planted in the fall to better advantage than In the spring. DOUBLE WINDOWS IN THE BARN Except in the warm south we believe that the windows of every barn should be fitted with an extra covering of wood. In | other words a shutter of wood hinged on the outside and swinging in to be hooked I on the inside. If thq frame will not per mit of this have it anyway and use a button on the outside. One scarcely real izes how much warmer the barn will be for the cows and horses with this double window and the cost is not great. In some cases a double window of glass will answer the purpose and be more orna mental, but in cold locations a curtain of burlap should be used on the coldest nights. In addition to fixing the windows as described go over the barn well and stuff newspapers between the cracks of | the boards. Have some corner of the barn where a window of a size according to the number of animals in the barn can j be placed which will be open most of the time to give as nearly perfect ventilation as possible or have some r>lan like that illustrated this week which is as applic able to the large building as the small one. A CHEAP HOG HOUSE DOOR. There Is no good reason why the door to the hog house should be made of heavy boards and kept shut nor why the house should be without any door if one will work out this simple plan. Take some strong burlap or an old fertilizer bag and get a few laths. Place the laths an inch apart on both sides of the bag (crosswise) and fasten them to each other, nailing through the bag. Hem the edges of the bag so they will not ravel then fasten over the opening in the door letting it nearly touch at the bottom. The laths will weight it sufficiently to hold it in place so that it will keep out cold and storm, yet it will bo sufficiently light so that the hogs can push it' with their heads when they want to get in or out of the house. The illustration shows the plan plainly and It will work better than any door we know of. obviating the trouble of opening the door every time the hogs are to be let out. If desired the regulation board door may be put in place to be closed when desired, j AWFUL NEURALGIA Mr. PortarThought Ha Should Go Mad But Dr. Williams’ Pink Pllla Cured Him. •’ It (meins like a miracle that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills should hnvo cured my neuralgia," wild Mr. Porter, " They are curtainly a marvelous modlolue and \ 1 am always glad to ruoommund them. 1 ‘For two years," ho continued, "I hud suffered almost unendurable pains in iuy head. They would start over my eyes ' and shoot upward most frenueutly, hut they often spread over my face, and ut 1 times every part of my head and face would be full of agony. Sometimes the 1 pains wore so intense that I actually feared they would drive mo mad. " My eyes ached constantly and there was nlwaysa burning sensation over my forehead, but the other pains varied, sometimes they wore acute, and again they wore dull and lingering. I could not sleep. My temper was irritable and I got no pleasure out of life. “ I tried remedy after remedy, but finding no help ill any of them, I be came a despairing man. Even when I begun to take Dt.Williams’ Piuk Pills I laid uo great hope of a cure. " That was in December of 1903 To my surprise, a change In my condition took place right away. The pains grew less intense and the acute attacks were further apart, as I kept on using Dr. Wil liams’ Piuk Pills. The improvement be gan with the first box, and when I had used six boxes I stopped.

The race suicide question has evidence that marriages in Massachus been officially taken up In Mussachus sets by Charles Felton Pidgin, who Is In charge of the state census now In progress. He Is going to tramp on the trail of the man with the small fam ily and discover a few things, which Mr. Pidgin believes will help the state. Mr. Pidgin has an idea that the fact that the population does not increase is to be blamed more upon men who refuse to wed than upon small fam ilies. A list of questions has been pre pared for the women of the state’ to determine whether or not the same birth rate exists among married wom en of the state as among the mar ried women of other states. If the rates are et^ual, Mr. Pidgin says It Is evidence that marriages in Massaehus sets are later or fewer than in other states. If it is evident after the re turns are all in hat the married folk of the state are doing their duty by the commonwealth then it will be the duty of the lawmakers to devise some plan whereby the great unmarried division may be lured or coerced Into matri mony. Advancing the Farmers’ Interests. Traveling agents and salesmen are now sent from the home offices of the Chicago packers into all South Ameri can and Asiatic countries. They are going into every land, no matter what language may be spoken or what money be used. They will exchange their goods for cowries or elephant tusks —anything to sell the product and get something in return converti ble into money. It may seem odd to some folks, but traveling men, carry ing cases with samples of American meat products, can be seen in the desert of Sahara, the sands of Zanzi bar or in Brazil, “where the nuts come from.-’ Croat is the enterprise of the Yankee merchant.

I The Rloheat Helreaa a Florist. From the Chicago Chronicle. Frauleln Bertha Krupp has become lately Interested In horticulture. For more than a year sue attended to the beautiful little florentlne garden her late father laid out for her. but until recently she had shown no particular Interest in gardening; now site Is an araent florist. She has had an orchid house built. Some of the rarest growths have been sent from English growers as well as from South Amer ica. Some of her orchids, by their beauty, awakened the enthusiasm of this reserved girl about whom so little Is known, who leads a strange, retired life within the walls of the Villa Hugel near Essen. Frauleln Bertha Is of the opinion that ornamental gardening Is a calling for which women arc especially flitted and, aided by her mother. Is taking steps to start a school at Essen where selected girls shall be trained for It. Hardly a rumor reaches the outsfde world from the Villa Hugel and serv ants who talk are peremptorily dis charged. Frau Krupp and his daugh ter visit the seaside or go to Florence or the Italian lakes and no one knows In Essen what their movements have been. Deep. Impenetrable shadows scent to rest over the Villa Hugel. There is no longer any talk of Frau leln Bertha's marriage and the general opinion is that the young Cologne banker to whom It was believed she was engaged has been dlmlssed. Beware! From Puck.
