IF YOU ARE A WOMAN
What Mrs. Ford Says Concerning Dr,
Williams’ Pink Pills will Surely
Interest You.
“ I \v:sh I could help other women got
rid of certain physical troubles as com
pletely as I have succeeded in getting
rid of mine," said Mrs. B. B. Ford, of
Pushmataha, Miss., recently. “You
know,"she continued, “that a woman's
health depends chiefly oil the regu
larity of just one function. If she
fails to le ep lliat properly regulated she
has no end of physical misery. I suf
fered from that one cause for two
wretched years, during one of which I
was kept in bed all the time. I tried
medicines enough to cure any illness,
but nothing gave me the slightest bene
fit until 1 began using Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pule People. They cured me.
Why, I was suffering all the time prac
tically from sickness of the stomach,
dizziness or swimming in my head and
pain in luy back. Now I am entirely
free from discomfort of that sort. 1 am
not only able to keep on my feet, but to
do my.work as a teacher, and to enjoy
the pleasures that come through the
possession of sound health.
“ Within three weeks after beginning
the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I ex
perienced such relief that I knew they
must be adapted to the needs of my case.
After using them for a short while longer
I became and have since remaiued a
well woman, and the reason why issim
plv that I took Dr. Williams’Pink Pills. ’
These pills make uterine action reg
ular and painless, banish headaches, lan
guor. nervousness, create appetite, pro
mote digestion, put color in the com
plexion, build up strength and health.
Every woman should send to the Dr.
Williams Medicine Company, Schenec
tady, N.Y., for a valuable booklet en

Right Way to Drink Tea.
From Leslie’s Weekly!
Tea drinking a la Chinese has recently
become one of the amusing little fads of
fashionable life. Russian lea, with its ac
companiment of lemon, has given place to
that delightfully tragrant infusion which
tourists visiting the oriental eating places
of the Chinese quarter marvel at and pay
fancy prices for, but which can be made
quite as successfully at home if one knows
how. This does not mean that only the
Chinese brand of tea may be used, al
though, to a cultivated taste, It is undeni
ably superior, but rather that it is made
as tea should be made, and it is served
with all the attending customs and acces
sories of the flowery kingdom. The poor
est Chinese laundryman or vegetable ped
dler drinks tea of a quality far superior
to that served in the most elaborate homes
or the most expensive hotels. “Melicans
him boil tea—alle same medicine," once
observed Toy, our Chinese cook; and one
day, when speaking of the cream and
sugar habit with tea, he scornfully re
marked: “Heap cheap—tea cost hap dol
lar; one dollar alle same—coat fT dollars
alle same—no can tell.” Most lovers of
the cup that cheers will agree with him
that adding cream and sugar to very line
tea seem almost a sacrilege, and, too,
that the usual method of tea making in
the average American home is bound to
spoil the flavor of the very best tea. The
Chinese laborer drinks tea at intervals of
every half-hour or so, and the beverage
seems to impart an impetus for unflagging
labor.
CONSTIPATION AND STOM
ACH TROUBLE CAN BE
CURED
d. S. Janssen, President of the -Mil
waukee Retail Druggists’ Associa
tion, Talks on the Dangers of
Constipation and Stom
ach T rouble.
—
"Have you noticed the large number of
rases of typhoid fever lately'.'" said Mr. J. |
S. Janssen to a Daily News representative.
"To my notion typhoid fever, malarial fe
ver. appendicitis and many kindred com
plaints ore the result of constipation, which
in many cases Is allowed by the patient to
run along without proper treatment. You
will remember when you were a child and
the doctor was called, his first prescription
was a dose of castor oil! All physicians
know the value of having the bowels thor
oughly opened. People, when they grow up,
allow constipation to become chronic
through lack of attention. Constipation Is
the failure of the bowels to carry off the
undigested food, which collects In the ali
mentary canal and there decays, generat
ing poisonous disease germs. These germs
find their way into the blood by means of
which they are carried to every tissue. The
fever thus created affects not only the
lungs, kidneys, stomach, heart and nervous
system, but in fact any organ of the body
Is liable io break down as a result. The
blood becomes thin and watery. The suf
ferer loses in flesh and strength. Castor oil
and pills will not cure an affliction like this.
Something more than a laxative is needed.
There are many physics on the market and
we sell great many, having probably the
most popular store of the kind in the city.
I do not often talk about manufactured
medicine, but the high esteem In which ;
Mull's Grape Tonic is held by the drug and
medical fraternities has impressed me and
1 know from actual experience right here (
In our store that Mull's Grape Tonic cures
coustipntion and stomach trouble positively |
and permanently.
"Grape Tonic is not a physic, but it lin- |
mediately clears the bowels of the decay- ;
lug food because of the peculiarly strength
ening effects it exerts over the organs of
the digestive system. As a tonic it is su
perior to the nauseating cod liver oil com
pounds. It builds flesh faster and creates
. strength quicker than any other prepara
tion known to medical science. The Ingred
ients are positively harmless, made mainly
from crushed grapes and fruits. Although
a full bottle might be taken at once, no
inconvenience would result. I only wish
that people paid more attention to these
little details, which In themselves In the
beginning are of so slight importance, but
which grow in magnitude until the most
Iserious trouble and some deadly disease
fastens Itself on the constitution. There
is really nothing easier to take than Mull’s
Grape Tonic. I hope you, through the in
fluence of your paper, can bring the read
ers to a sense of the gravity of allowing
• constipation to become chronic."

PROTESTING THE HARNESS.
Every farmer appreciates that the ex
pense of harnesses and for harness repairs
is considerable during the year, hence
'should be pleased at the suggestion of
isome plan which will enable him to keep
[the harness in good condition. A harness
[should always be hung up. Here is a sim
ple plan. Make three Ts of a strong but
light lumber and especially making the
cross bar strong. Fasten these to a joist
in a convenient place with the cross bar
at tho bottom. Simply use the arms on
I
! which to hang the different pa#« of the
iharness. If th!s arrangement ischiot easy
to put in operation then use hooks fast
ened to the ends of stout ropes, but ar
ranging some way so that the ropes may
be looped back over a hook or nail during
the time they are not in use so there will
be do danger of any one being injured by
them. The illustration shows both plans
jplainly. They are entirely practical and
i the use of either of them will add greatly
to the long life of the harness.
|- TREATING HOG CHOLERA.
I While there are a number of remedies
on the market for th'.s dread disease of
swine we believe that If the herd contracts
the disease the best thing to do Is to sep
'arute the well from the sick, dstroy the
sick at once and set about preventing the
well from catching the trouble. This in
the opinion of the veteran raisers of swine
is tfie most sensible thing to do because
no time is lost in saving the well which
would be the case if the time was spent on
.trying to cure the sick. Once the animals
are separated, remove the well hogs to
pens and yards that are absolutely clean |
and thoroughly disinfect the old quarters.
Do not use half-way measures in this dis
infecting, but do the work thoroughly even
to the point of burning the old houses or
a portion of them. Then set about seek
ing to avoid the trouble in the fututre by
having well ventilated, clean and dry
houses and yards. Spend a little timg in
cleaning out these places once a month, ‘
using a strong solution of carbolic acid j
and plenty of lime. In this manner it will ]
be possible to go through years and have |
the herds practically immune so far as i
■cholera i3 concerned. Then remember,
that filthy swill brings on a disease which
while not being cholera is near enough to
it to cause uneasiness on the part of the
owner. If one must feed filthy and more
or loss putrid swill he would better stop
trying to raise swine. i
TREATMENT OF THE PULLET. '
The novice in poultry raising generally
makes the mistake of putting Ills pullets
in a very warm room on the first approach
of cold weather, a decided mistake. Re
member the young bird, if she has been on
the range during the summer, is well filled
with vigor, is used to an abundance of
fresh air and somewhat inured to the cold
so that it is not necessary to warm her a
great deal until quite frosty weather. See
that the house has an abundance of fresh
air though it must be had by throwing the
windows open; the only care is to see that
the birds do not catch cold which they
will do if in a draugnt. If there Is danger
of the weather changing so that it will be
much colder during the night, put the win
dow up to admit the fresh just the same
and protect the birds by hanging a cur- I
tain in front of them. During the day ;
let them stay our of doors as long as the
sun is shining, but also protecting them
from draughts by a windbreak of some
kind and keeping them busy with a hand
!fui of grain thrown about the yard so
they must do considerable scratching to
get it. This treatment will make them
hardy and they will be all the better egg
producers.
STORING ROOT CROPS.
It is not enough that the root crops be
grown for the benefit of the stock. They j
must be stored and stored carefully if they j
are to last for a period which will make j
them the most valuable for feeding. Many
bushels of root crops go to waste through
carelessness in storing. Try this plan.
'Rook over the crop carefully after it has
been brought to the barn (the roots should
,have lain in the sun for a day or two so
as to be perfectly dry before bringing in)
and make three grades of them. The first
grade is to consist of the specimens that
are absolutely sound; the second grade
of those that are slightly blemished and
the third grade of those that are bruised
or in any way disfigured. This third grade
should be fed first, the second grade next
while the first grade should be carefully
handled and kept in the portion of the
storehouse where they will have the low
est possible temperature above freezing
with dry air. Handled in this manner this
first grade can be kept for a long time
and it will be possible to have roots for
tiie stock when they most prefer them, in
the late fall and early spring, while the
bruised roots will do them good early in
•the season.
PRESERVING EGGS ONCE MORE.
So many inquiries are being received
concerning methods of preserving eggs
that once more space is given to what is
known as the water glass method prob
ably the best plan known for this pur
pose. Water glass is obtainable at any
drug store of good repute under the name
of silicate of soda. Roil the necessary
quantity of soft water and when it has
cooled to each ten parts add one part of
the water glass. Then have a clean earth
en Jar and put in it the selected eggs
which should not be over a day or two old
and which should be free from cracks.
Pour the water glass mixture over the
eggs, the mixture being about the con
sistency of thin mucilage, and set the jar
containing them in a cool place. Add more
eggs as desired and also the mixture, the
plan being to keep the eggs completely
covered by the mixture at all times. It
must not be understood that eggs will
keep indefinitely in this mixture, but they
will keep for several months and be per
fectly satisfactory for use on the table in
any way but poached. This is the best
egg preservative known which is entirely
safe.
USE OF SPRAY IN THE FALL.
The work of spraying fruit trees and es
pecially the peach as a destructive meas
ure against scale is quite us effective i:.
the fall as in the spring; Indeed, it is es
sential that this work be done at both sea
eons in order to do it effectively. An ex
pert orchardist advises a 1.1 per cent, so
lutlon of the kerosene and lime mixture
and 20 p»er cent on other trees using 20 per
cent, on all trees In the spring. In the
judgment of the writer the strength of
the preparation must be decided largely by
conditions. On our trees a 10 per cent, so
lution is always effective and there is no
danger of injury to the buds as in the
stronger mixture. We start with fifty
gallons as a basis, taking five gallons of
kerosene, twenty pounds of hydrated lime,
forty gallons of water and five gallons of
sulphide of lime. The kerosene and lime
is mixed and the water slowly added while
the mass is being stirred. Then it is
stirred violently until in a complete emul
sion when the sulphide of lime Is added
and thoroughly mixed with tho other in
gredients. It is supposed that all or
chardists understand thoroughly the im
portance of thorough spraying else the
woik is of little avail. The work should
be done now when the scales are in a
somewhat tender state.
FARMING IN SETTLED COMMUNI
TIES.
A prominent agricultural journal objects
to the picture of farms located close to
thriving villages and particularly so If
manufacturing Is carried on In such sec
tions claiming that the prices of labor on
the farm are Increased by the proximity
of the factory and that the young are
lured away from the farm by the seem
ingly better return for labor In the factory.
That there Is some truth in this cannot be
denied but, on the other hand, there are
advantages which offset the disadvan
tages. One of the most prolific causes of
discontent with the farm is the loneliness
so evident. If the farmer and his family
are socially inclined or are progressive
they naturally chafe at being so located
that they cannot carry out their ideas.
One of the most progressive and intelli
gent farming communities we ever saw
consisted of a section where wise settlers
had laid out farms averaging fifty acres
each with not more than six hundred feet
frontage. This village consisted of nearly
1,000 people, two thirds of whom were
farmers, the other third being the more
thickly settled section in the business por
tion. The people had many conveniences,
earne into frequent contact with each oth
er and so, willingly or unconsciously, the
entire community was benefitted. Men
are naturally generous and if they have a
chance to talk or work with their fellow's
will do much to help another over a bad
place. Don’t frown on closely settled
farming sections but on the other hand do
something to buiid your own section up so
that all of the inhabitants will benefit.
FEEDING BEDDING TO HORSES.
It is not to be said that farmers are feed
ing to horses material which has been
used for bedding; not quite as bad as that,
but they are feeding material which ought
to be used for bedding because it is not fit
for food. One of the most remarkable
ideas among some farmers are those which
have to do w'ith feeding his horses. Dur
ing the season of work the horses are W'ell
fed but when there is little for them to do
the farmer seems to consider that the
ho»\se should not eat, so he Is fed just
L*’.,ough to keep life in him. Spring comes ;
around again and the poor horse, if still j
alive, is put to work much beyond his
strength and utterly ruined. This is some
what exaggerated perhaps but too many
farmers work mighty close to this plan.
True, it will r.ot do to feed the horse as it
is fed when doing hard work but it should
have enough food to sustain life and keep
it In good vigor ready, with a few days of
extra care, to take up any w'ork asked of
it. Use the poor straw for bedding and
give the horse food he should have. Try
the plan of having bread made from the
corn cob instead of the grain; eat it for
a month and you’ll then have a faint Idea
of how the horse feels who is fed on bed
ding straw.
WOOD ASHES IN ORCHARDS.
The application of wood ashes to orchard
soils should be more general for the potash
In the unleached wood ashes will be very
welcome to the soil particularly if the soil
has had but little fertilizer for a consid
erable period. Many fruit growers com
plain of damage from the use of wood
ashes but if such has been the case it was
due to a too heavy application close to the
tree. In our work in this direction we
start three feet from the trunk of the tree
and spread the ashes broadcast out as far
as the branches extend and then work
them lightly under the soil with rake or
harrow if the later can be worked to ad
vantage. We have one old orchard in sod
on'which we used potash in various forms
but largely by means of the unleached
wood ashes and figure that when the trees
become unprofitable because of age, which
will be in a few years, the wood ashes will
have been paid for by better apples and we
will have a meadow left which will be pro
fitable because of the ashes used every few'
years. Jt will probably be necessary to do
x little reseeding after the trees have been
removed but this is a small expense.
A PRACTICAL GATE FASTENER.
A swing gate is somewhat of a nuisance
unless it is arranged with a fastener that
will act as desired. The idea ilustrated
is a simple one as will be seen. Take a
strip of 1x4 mat* rial and cut it of conven
ient length as shown at figure 1; it must,
nowever, be long enough to extend beyond
the cross bar D and the upright piece at
figure 2, both of which pieces are double,
that is, one on either side of the gate. |
rwo iron pieces <b) are bolted to the
boards i and 4 as shown. The fastener
fl
- t.1 ■
vorks in this manner. To unfasten, pull
he board 1 to the left which raises tlie
»nd opposite 1 on account of the placing of !
> and when released drops toward 1
:nd finally rests on the board marked 3.
V close study of the illustration will show
ow simple the plan is and how readily it
nay be put in operation on any swinging
rate provided, always the gate is properly
iung and works smoothly.
Alice Roo>.»»,elt Up to Date.
From Munsey’s.
Alice Roosevelt accentuates her suc
cess hy belonging essentially to her
period, to this period of the Twentieth
century, that permits a girl as much
liberty us it Is good for her to desire.
She shows an appreciation of the value
I of nil the things that make for success
I —fashion in her wardrobe, amiability
In her manner—disregarding the fact
that by birth she would be certain of at
least a share of It. She is neither timid
nor retiring, nor does she stand aloof
as If to show a belief that the presi
dent's daughter may compel all things,
even the admiration of men.
There Is a story of her to prove that
her anxieties have been those of any
girl who hasn't the simplicity to believe
thut belles nro born, not made. She
was at that period of life when the
most horrible tragedy is to be In a
great hall, filled with the sound of
dance music and thronged with stal
wart, black-coated men and graceful,
attractive women, and to sit alone and
forsaken In a corner. Alice Roosevelt
was a debutante invited to a german.
She had the debutante's thrills and the
debutante’s fears. Some one whom she
didn't admire was the first to ask the
honor of being her partner. She ac
cepted with eager alacrity, and then
. confided in her dearest chum.
"But. why on earth,” cried the confi
dante, "were you In such a hurry? Why
didn't you wait for someone you really
like to ask you?"
"Why?” echoed Miss Roosevelt, open
ing her blue eyes wide. "Why? Be
cause X was so afraid of not being asked
at all!”
Since then she has enjoyed to Ihe full
her position of first young woman In
the land, with all the adulation and at
tention It commands. To be ready for
the Inevitable consequences, the public
j prints have allotted her numt>erless
times to one or other of her suitors, or
her sujiposed suitors; hut so far the
announcements of her engagements
lack an Important feature—corrobora
tive testimony.

Home Medicine (’hot in I>:inj;en
The “home medicine chest” is In
