THE OLD FARM HAND.
In the good edd days the old
farm hand was almost a member
of the family. He toiled early am
late. In the summer he arose at
i o'clock, went out into the field
before' breakfast hurriedly, work
ed till dinner time, after dinne
lime worked till supper time" am
after supper time if it was
moonlight night he worked unti
midnight getting in the crops. He
took a personal interest in the
affairs, of the family, ate with
them, taught the boys to do their
work and was an invaluable and
cherished friend. He saved his
money and very often bought tin
adjoining farm and settled down
as a good neighbor. But alas, thi
type of farm hand has now dis
appeared. A young fellow now
hikes out into the cemnlry, earns
some monev during the vacation;
he is of that roving, adventurous
class, here today and there to
morrow. Otherwise, he is
foreigner whom it is difficult to
instruct anel impossible to fellow
ship with. It is stated that Mis
souri alone wants 30,)0o men foi
its winter wheat. Where they
are to get them is a problem. The
old inhabitant of the village used
to take his cradle in harve'sl lime
and go out and save the crops,
but machinery is now displacin
him and his union forbids him
from engaging in this sort of
work, and so we are obligeel to
save our crops wit 11 sucn ex
pedients as we may.

The government crop report is
cralifving. It shows bumper
crops all over the country. It is a
very happy condition that the
stales which had greatest misfor
tune with their corn crop last year
will have the greatest wheat crop
this year. There are, of course,
some localities where crop condi
tions are far from satisfactory,
but the national situation as a
whole is extraordinarily good. The
harvesting of crops is already
creating demand for labor. Busi
ness prospects are much brighter.
The idea has always been pre
valent that ice cream is a luxury,
only lit for the strongest stomach,
but a leading Boston practioncr
declares that it is the best cure for
delirium tremens or plain drunk
enness. "Take the case of a man
who has been on a spree for some
time," says the doctor, " and the
best cure is give him some suita
ble food, thereby saving the stom
ach from digesting itself. Ice
cream has a cooling effect and the
coldness absorbs the heat of the
alcholic inflammation. In ice
cream we nave tne iat 01 reai
cream plus the gelatine, wiiicn
acts as a protective layer for the
mucous membrane. It absorbs
alcohol poison and cools, protects
and heals. A drunkard has alcohol
in his blood in large quantities
when he is on a spree.' When lio
gets candy in his stomach at this
time he digests it and creates
more alcohol out of the sugar.
But, strangely enough, this alco
hol will serve to dealcoholize the
stomach and eventully the sys
tem." ,.

Mrs. F. S. Brinkman, Eleventh

says: "For several years I was
bothered by my kidneys. My back
often pained intensely. Head
aches and dizzy spells bothered me
anel my sight became so badly af
fected that I couldn't read. Doan's
Kidney pills were so highly rec
etnimended that I decided te try
them and got a box at Gering 5:
Co.'s Drug Store. In a short time
they helped me in every way. I
am never without Doan's Kidney
Pills on hand."
