WHu-pkoae-akip BOY DESERVED TO,“GET BY” Chances Are Indianapolis Youngster Will Adorn Legal Profession if He Adopts IL A youngster of ten was eating grapes at the dinner table and making much noise, says the Indianapolis News. “Bobby,” said his grandmother, “you must not be so noisy eating grapes.” “"Wen,” said Bobby, “I have to get the intestines out.” The same ten-year-old went across the street to visit a friend, and some difference of opinion brought on a fight. He came home and told about it. “Bobby,” said his grandfather, “I am afraid I shall have to punish you for that. You go over to his house and then become quarrelsome and dis agreeable and make trouble. Don’t you think I ought to punish you?" "Grandpa," said Bobby, “when I grow up to be a man I am going to be a lawyer, and then I’ll get a whole lot | of other layers and we'll pass a law I that no child under ten years old shall j be punished.” That was how Bobby “got by” that time. _I ECZEMA BURNED AND ITCHED 203 Walnut St., Hillsboro, 111.—“My child had a breaking out on the lower limbs which developed into eczema. The eczema began with pimples which contained yellow corruption and from the child’s clothing they were greatly irritated. They seemed to burn, which made the child scratch them, resulting in a mass of open places. They made her so cross and fretful that it was impossible to keep her quiet. They caused her to lose much sleep and she was constantly tormented by severe itching and burning. “I tried several well-known reme dies, but got no relief until I got a sample of Cuticura Soap and Oint ment, which did so much good that I got a large quantity that cured her in ten days after she had been affected i for two months.” (Signed) Mrs. Edith Schwartz, Feb. 28, 1913.

In the eyes of the law of the state of Nebraska, Emma Booshe is a dead woman, though no certificate qf death has ever been filed with the officers charged wnth keeping the mortality records. Judge Cornish of the district court signed a decree to the effect that “the legal presumption is that she is now dead.” The decree of the court was granted upon the petition of Gerd H. Booshe, who was married to Emma many years ago. In his petition filed in district court a few weeks ago he alleged that Mrs. Booshe left him in 1904 with the avowed intention of going to her old home in Germany. Since that time he has never heard from her. Reward for Discovery of Oil. Fifteen thousand dollars is the prize offered by the state of Ne braska to the first person who shall succeed in locating a steady flow of oil within the state, yielding fifty barrels per day for ‘sixty consecutive days. The existence of this forgotten statute, passed by the legislature of 1903, was rediscovered in State Treasurer George's office following the receipt of a letter from New York asking whether Nebraska has such a law. The lettel was sent from the New York office of a London corpor ation known as the Anglo-Mexican Petroleum Products Company. A short time previously Treasurer George received another query from the same source, but did not answer it. The persistence of the company in seeking" to find out about the state reward is taken to mean that it has some kind of a “tip" as to where oil may be found in paying quantities in this state. If so, it has been able to keep the information secret, as no facts have been made public relating to any such discovery. A few test borings are known to have been mad; in different localities, but these, so far as is known in Lincoln, have aP been abandoned. National Commander Washington Gardner of the Grand Army of the Re public will be in Nebraska next May, according to word received by the state department. He has asked that the dates for the Nebraska encamp ment be set at the time of his visit. The affair will, therefore, be held May 13, 14 and 15. Grand Island will en tertain the veterans at that time. Winter Short Course. The school of agriculture announces that the winter short course will be gin immediately following the holi days, January 6th. This is a course of six weeks’ work, composed of practical lectures, and1 laboratory work on various agricultural sub jects. Omaha now has a full battalion of the Nebraska national guard, the fourth company, D, of the Fourth in fantry, having been mustered in by Adjutant General Hall. Half of Envelopes Addressed. The secretary of state's special force of assistants, employed ' to ad dress 230 000 large envelopes in which printed matter relating to measures submitted under the initiative and referendum will be mailed next year to Nebraska voters, has finished prac tically one-half of the work. En velopes for the voting inhabitants of Lincoln and Lancaster county, the cities of Omaha and South Omaha have all been addressed. The secre tary of state has received lists df voters from all but twelve counties. Want Foreign Potatoes Barred. Possibility of lifting the quarrantine now effective on foreign potato ship ments into this country will be resist ed by Nebraska growers. Dry rot, the worst disease with which the Nebras ka raisers have had to battle, came from abroad and has not yet been en tirely stamped out. The state board of agriculture has taken the matter up with Secretary of Agriculture Houston in the hope that potato growers of other states will join in and put up a fight for their rights. / BRIEF NEWS OF NEBRASKA A commercial club has been organ ized at Cortland. Josephine Humberger is the new postmistress at Plymouth. Morse Bluff’s first church is nearing completion and will soon be ready for use. 'The various towns in the state base ball league are already making plans for next season. For the first time in twenty years corn is being shipped to Tecumseh for feeding purposes. Dick George, near Fairbury, nearly lost an arm in a circular saw. which he was operating, cutting stove wood. Harry G. Platt, a Burlington switch man at Lincoln, suffered a crushed skull when he was caught between two cars in the yards here. Plans for rebuilding the Grand Island Pythian hall, which was de stroyed by fire Friday night, are al ready under consideration. Peter Brehm’s saloon at Lincoln was burglarized three times in as many months, and last week Peter was held up and relieved of $3, all his spare cash. There is an epidemic of diphtheria at Wymore and the city board of health Tuesday issued a proclamation prohibiting the holding of public gath erings. Paul Good of Lincoln has been chosen by the Nebraska committee as next student from this state to enter Oxford university with Rhodes schol arship honors. Sam Noble, a veteran Burlington en gineer, dropped dead just as he seated himself to partake of his noon lunch at a restaurant at Lincoln. Apoplexy was the cause. Joseph Cullen Root, prominent Omahan, financier, lawyer and found er and sovereign commander, of the Woodmen of the World, is dead at Hendersonville, N. C. While steam and smoke were still arising from the ruins of the Gaston Music company at Hastings. the«firm had reopened in another location with a fresh stock of goods. Mrs. A. E. Hatch, wife of a North western brakeman at Norfolk, was slugged by some unknown man when she went to the depot to meet her husband Saturday night. F. A. Sess, a jeweler at Kearney, was found in a dying condition at the foot of the cellar stairs in his store. He died before recovering conscious ness, a victim to apoplexy. Tuesday before Christmas was the biggest day in the history of the Fre mont postofflce. Nearly a third more packages and letters were handled by the force during the day. Through the death of his uncle. Elias Olinghouse, a miner of Wahoo county, Nevada, Paul Olinghouse. thir teen years old, of Beatrice, has fallen heir to an estate valued at $60,000. Herbert W. Wright, who has been assistant secretary of the Beatrice Y. M. C. A. for the past eighteen months, has resigned to accept a posi tion as secretary of the Seward asso ciation. Abram E. Rodebaugh, business man of Bancroft, Neb., was run over by a Northwestern train at Parker, S. D., both his legs being cut off. He was not found until an hour and a half after the accident. An overdose of headache tablets came near resulting fatally to Mrs. Will Buraup of Tecumseh, who was found unconscious by her daughter, who hastily summoned a physician. She is now thought out of danger. A1 Jackson, an Omaha policeman who was shot in the leg several years ago in a duel with Pat Crowe, the alleged kidnaper of young Cudahy, has just suffered amputation of the limb, blood poison having recently de veloped. Roy Northrup of York has some fine specimens of topaz, dressed and mounted. They were found near Hum boldt, and the rough stones sent to a lapidary at Denver, who pronounced them first-class, and made some ex cellent jewels of them. Miss Frances Shorn of Fairbury is in a critical condition from blood poison, the result of puncturing the palm of her hand with a lead pencil some time ago. Petitions for the appointment of a county demonstrator for Cuming county are in circulation and will be presented to the county board of su pervisors. John Sievers had most of the cloth ing torn from his body and escaped death in a miraculous manner when he caught his foot in the belting of a gasoline engine on his farm near Fre mont. Fire at the state house at Lincoln,1 caused by a lighted match igniting some gasoline in a cuspidor, gave the firemen a run and made considerable excitement one day last week. Charles Mitchell, a husky tiller of the soil in Saline county, put two holdup men to flight when they at tempted to rob him as he was en route to DeWitt on horseback. Mrs. Rummell Anderson of Malmo was burned to death by a Are originat ing in a gasoline explosion which de stroyed her home. Her invalid hus band, in the house at the time, was carried to safety. Lawrence King, a well-to-do young man, committed suicide by hanging himself in a cattle barn on his father’s farm near Edgar. 111. health is supposed to have been responsible. J. C. Mitchell, driving an oil wagon at Hastings, was thrown from the seat and severely injured by the wheels passing over his head and shoulders. The eleven-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hall was scalded to death at their home in Round Valley, when a plug came out of a washing machine, letting the contents, boiling hot. splash over her. Fire breaking out In the general store of J. H. Arends & Company at Syracuse, damaged stock and build ing to the extent of $35,000 or $40,000. David City had two Are alarms turned in within fifteen hours. The residence of John Howard toqfe Are Friday evening and the residence of Phil Harper took Are Saturday morn ing. The electroliers, which the county and city are installing around the court house square, are being con nected up and in a short time David City will be one of the best lighted cities in the state. MAINTAINING YOUNG SOWS IN GOOD FLESH A Good Type of Hog Cot. It is held by most farmers that the brood sow must be kept in thin flesh. Following this rule, which is good in a way, many farmers allow the sows an insufficient amount of feed, and hence both sow and pigs suffer, writes W. H. Underwood in the Iowa Homestead. Also the young sow' far rows before she is mature in £ize, and through light feeding she never at tains the size and breeding capacity that she would had she been given larger amounts of feed during her growing period. The sow for several well understood reasons should not be kept too fat, es pecially in farrowing time. She has. however, large demands placed upon her, and hence requires large amounts of feed to sustain normal Medium Type of Yorkshire. vitality. She needs much feed during pregnancy for the development of the unborn pigs and for her own vital needs. After the pigs are born, during the suckling period, the sow requires an extra large amount of nutritious feed in order to furnish a full flow of milk for the little pigs and maintain her own flesh. Too often the sow at the close of the suckling period becomes poor and de pleted !n strength. Frequently she Is absolutely exhausted, and requires many weeks to regain flesh and strength, if it is possible to regain the loss. There is no doubt but that this frequent flesh and vitality weakening impairs the health and value of the animal. Were she kept in good round flesh at all times there is no question but that she would live longer and be more productive in advanced years. The young sow often grows until after her second or third litter of pigs. Then is the period when matern ity tells on an animal most. If to the physical strain of giving birth to pigs and suckling them is added the stunt : ing effect of too light feeding the young sow cannot possibly attain her highest development This will not only affect her future earning power, but will also affect the profits in her ! pigs. They will to some extent inherit her undersize and weakness, and the future stock will therefore be small and poor. If the young sow is kept In good, round flesh until after full maturity ; she will have a chance to develop into I a large mother animal, and be able to transmit her size and strong vitality to her offspring. If she carries an abundance of flesh and some fat near ly equal to that of the prime finished hog for market she will have a sur plus for the draining weeks of matern ity and not become so poor at any time that her system Is materially weakened. It is much easier to maintain a sow in good flesh than to restore it after it has been lpst, and it is better in every way for the animal. A good sow may be fully half the herd in giving quality to the pigs if she is given suf ficient feed and care to make mani fest her full powers. I DAIRY PROSPERITY BY USE OF A SILO Dairymen Should Take Advant age of Every Opportunity to Reduce His Expenses. (By J. E. WORM AN.) If a dairy farmer were told that he could roll silver dollars down a hill and then pick up two dollars for every one he rolled down, and this statement was verified by some of his neighbors, and hundreds of oth er dairy farmers in the country, that farmer would stay up nights to roll the dollars. But when told that he could double the profits by the use of the silo he becomes very indifferent and keeps on in the same old rut, feeding dry feed, wasting nearly half of his corn crop and doing a lot of unnecessary work. In these days of close competition dairymen should be ready to take ad vantage of every opportunity to re duce the cost of production, and it will be found that it is easier if the proper methods are used to do that than to raise the selling price of the dairy product. The results are the same; a large net profit In the corn plant about 40 per cent of the feeding value is in the stalk and 60 per cent, in the ear. When the ear alone is fed nearly half of the corn crop Is wasted. Where the dry stalks are fed at least half of them remain nneaten, while if stored in the silo the loss is almost nothing. Every dairyman knows that cows will do their best on fresh June pas ture. The grass is succulent and pal atable and the conditions for a max imum milk flow are ideal. These conditions, however; do not last very long. The silo comes as near to supplying the ideal conditions as anything that can be found, and it is available every day in the year. It provides a uni form feed for every one of the 12 months. Highly sensitive dairy cows resent any sudden change or violent altera tion in feed, and will show it by a decreased milk flow. The change from fall pasture to dry feed Is always followed by the shrinkage in the milk. In changing from the pasture to the silage is not so great, and often the cows increase the flow when started on silage. Silage is not a complete ration for a dairy cow. Silage is high in carbo hydrates and some concentrates or roughage with a high protein content should be fed with it; such as wheat bran, oil meal, cottonseed meal or alfalfa or clover hay. At the Illinois experiment station it is reported that a selected herd of dairy cows were being maintained on alfalfa hay and corn silage alone. The cows are in excellent condition, and have made good yields and a good profit. Every dairyman should make an effort to grow alfalfa and put up sil age. It is a great combination and all' home grown. This constant buying of milk feed is what cuts down thet profits, and should be eliminated as far as possible. When it is considered that corn can be grown so easily and in every section of the country. It stands at the head of the list of forage crops for this purpose. <, The yield in feeding value and the convenience of handling makes it the best silage crop. The yield will range from 10 to 20 tons per acre on good soli, and even higher yields have been re ported. At 15 tons per acre, one acre will furnish roughage enough for two cows for every day in the year, or four cows during a feeding period of six months. What other crop will do that? Other crops can be used, such as sorghum or cow peas in combina tion with either sorghum or corn. The cow peas improve the silage, for it adds protein, but the yield is small and difficult to harvest. v Stick to the Farm. The young men* are beginning to take notice. The old advice for boys to stay on the farm is certainly be ing heeded. Progress in this respect is certainly in the right direction. Grow Truck Crops. It is better to grow truck-crops for our own laboring men than to ship grain to Europe. Finishing Off. Even rough animals can be finished at an early age with plenty of feed, though the cost far exceeds that with better bred, early-maturing sorts. A young animal when its feed is in creased in moderation useB It to grow its body faster, and if we want to fin ish off young 8tuff jte must feed heav ily enough to furnish food for this in creased growth and enough more to lay on fat at the same time. Re stricted ixerciae helps tc finish young ajiir-.i* as otherwise they roam around bo much during the growthy period as to remain muscular, without that finishing touch the market de mands. Pick Out Paying Cows. Dozens of dairy farmers are feeding and milking 20 cows twice per day each day of the year, when the chances are that 12 to 15 of the number would, pay a larger profit. The whole idea Is, to find out which are the good cows' and then give them the attention they need. .—————————— No sick headache, sour stomach, biliousness or constipation by morning.

Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upeet stom ach. Don’t put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach; remove the sour, fermenting food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. Then you will feel great. A Cascaret to-night straightene you out by morning. They work while you sleep.

Many People Deceived by Coffee. We like to defend our indulgencies and habits even though we may be convinced of their actual harmfulness. A man can convince himself that whiskey is good for him on a cold morning, or beer on a hot summer day —when he wants the whiskey or beer. It's the same with coffee. Thou sands of people suffer headache and nervousness year after year but try to persuade themselves the cause is not coffee—because they like coflee “While yet a child 1 commenced using coffee knd continued it,” writes a Wis. man, ‘ until I was a regular coffee fiend. I drank it every morning and in consequence had a blinding headache nearly every afternoon. “My folks thought it was coffee that ailed me, but I liked it and would not admit it was the cause of my trouble, so I stuck to coffee and the headaches stuck to me. “Finally, the folks stopped buying coffee and brought home some Postum. They made it right (directions on pkg.) and told me to see what differ^ ence it would make with my head, and during that first week on Postum my old affliction did not bother me once. From that day to this we have used nothing but Postum in place of coffee —headaches are a thing of the past and the whole family is in fine health.” “Postum looks good, smells good, tastes good, is good, and does good to the whole body.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
