Plover, Iowa.-“From a small child
mY 13 year old daughter had female
weakness, i spoke
to three doctors
about it and they did
not help her any.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable un
pound had becu of
great benefit to me,
so I decided to have
her give it a trial.
She has taken five
bottles of the Vege

corcung to directions on the bottle and
she is cured of this trouble. She was
all run down when she started taking
the Compound and her periods did not
come right. She was so poorly and
weak that I often had to help her dress
herself, but now she is regular and is
growing strong and healthy.”—Mrs.
Martin Helvig, Plover, Iowa.
Hundreds of such letters expressing
gratitude for the good Lydia EL Pink

proving the reliability of this grand old
remedy.
If you are ill do not drag along and
continue to suffer day in and day out but

Alfred Noyes, the exponent of "pay

Princeton.
"One morning,” he said, “my work
was interrupted by a westerner. He
rushed in on me enthusiastically. He
bruised my hand with the power of his
cordial clasp. He made me sit down
and write my name 50 times on a
sheet of foolscap that he drew from his
pocket—he wanted to distribute, he
explained, my autograph among all his
friends. He even urged me to write a
poem for him—to dash a poem off
while he looked on. This failing, he
would not go till I had read him a
good half-dozen selections from my
works."
Mr. Noyes sighed.
"And all the time,” he ended, “the
dufTer called me Boyes.”

FIRST STORY OF TRIUMPHAL ENTRY
OF CFRMNS INTO BRUSSELS
[By Cable to the Chicago Tribune.] I
Brussels. — The Germans entered
Brussels Thursday without firing a
■hot
Yielding to the dictates of reason
and humanity, the civil government at
the last moment disbanded the civil
guard, which the Germans would not
recognize. The soldiers and ordinary
police were then intrusted with the
maintenance of order.
After a day of wild panic add slum
berless nights the citizens remained
at their windows. Few sought their
couches.
Cry “Here They Come."
The morning broke brilliantly. The
city was astir early and on all lips
were the words: “They are here,” or
“They are coming.”
The “they” referred to were al
ready outside the boundaries of the
city in great force. The artillery was
packed off on the road to Waterloo.
Horae, foot, and sapper were packed
deep on the Louvain and Tervervue
ren roads.
An enterprising motorist came in
with the information and the crowds
tn the busy centers immediately be
came calm.
Burgomaster Gives Up.
At eleven o’clock it was reported
Hint an officer with a half a troop of
hussars hearing white flags had halt
ed outside the Louvain gate.
The burgomaster claimed for the
citizens their rights under the laws
of war regulating an unfortified capi
tal. When roughly asked if he was
prepared to surrender the city, with
the threat that otherwise it would be
bombarded, the burgomaster said he
would do so. He also decided to re
move his scarf of office.
The discussion was brief. When
the burgomaster handed over his scarf
it was handed back to him and he
was thus entrusted for the time being
with the civil control of the citizens.
The Germans gave him plainly to un
derstand that he would he held re
sponsible for any overt act on the
part of the populace against the Ger
mans.
Triumphant March Begins.
From noon until two o’clock the
crowds waited expectantly. Shortly
after two o’clock the booming of can
non and later the sound of military
music conveyed to the people of Brus
sels the intimation that the triumph
ant march of the enemy on the an
cient city had begun.
On they came, preceded by a scout
ing party of uhlans, horse, foot, and
artillery and sappers, with a siege
train complete.
A special Tea tore or tne procession
was 100 motor cars on which quick
Brers were mounted. Every regiment
and battery was headed by a band,
horse or foot Now came the drums
and flfee; now the blare of brass and
soldiers singing "Die Wacht am Rhein"
and "Deutschland uber Alles."
Death Head Hussars There.
Along Chausee de Louvain, past St
Josse and the botanical gardens, to
the open apace in front of the Gare du
Nord, the usual lounging place of the
tired twaddlers of the city, Bwept the
leglona.
Among the cavalry were the famous
Brunswick Death’s Head Hussars and
their companions on many bloody
fields, the Zelten hussars. But where
was the glorious garb of the German
troops, the cherry-colored uniforms of
the horsemen, and the bine of the in
fantry? AH is greenish, earth color
gray. AH the helmets are covered with
gray. The guns are painted gray.
Even the pontoon bridges are gray.
"To the quickstep beat of the drums
the kaiser's men march to the great
square, Charles Regler. Then at the
whistling sound of the word of com
mand—for the sonorous orders of 'he
German officers seemed to have gone
the way of the brilliant uniforms—the
gray-clad ranks broke Into the famous
goose step, while the good people of
Liege and Brussels gased at the pass
ing wonder with months agape.
Crowds Want Revenge.
At the railroad station the great
procession defiled to the boulevards
and thence marched to encamp on the
heights of the city caUed Kochelberg.
It was truly a sight to have gladdened
the eyes of the kaiser, but on the side
walks men were muttering beneath
their breath:
“They'U not pass here on their way
hack. The allies will do for them.”
Many of the younger men in the
great array seemed exhausted after
the long forced march, but as a man
staggered his comrades in the ranks
held him np.
It was a great spectacle and an Im
pressive one, but there are minor inci
dents that were of a less pleasant char
acter.
Officers In Shackles.
Two Belgian officers, manacled and
fastened to the leather stirrups of two
uhlans, made a spectacle that caused
a low murmur of resentment from the
citizens. Instantly German horsemen
hacked their steeds into the closely
packed ranks of the spectators, threat
ening them with uplifted swords and
stilling the momentary revolt.
At one point of the march a lame
hawker offered flowers for sale to the
soldiers. As he held up his posies a
captain of hussars, by a movement of
his steed, sent the poor wretch sprawl
ing and bleeding in the dust Then
from the crowd a French woman, her
heart scorning fear, cried out: "You
brute,” bo that aU might hear.
Bear In Belgium Uniform.
There was oae gross pleasantry, too.
perpetrated by a gunner, who led
along a bear, evidently he pet of his
battery, which was dressed in the full
regalia of Belgian general. The bear
was evidently intended to represent
the king. He touched his cocked hat
at inervals to his keeper.
This particularly irritated the Bel
gians. but they wisely abstained from
any overt manifestation or any un
pleasant feature of behavior.
The soldiers as they passed tore re
peatedly at the national colors, which
every Belgian lady now wears on her
breast.
Refuse Gold in Payment.
A more pleasant incident was when
a party of Vhlans clamored for admit
tance at a villa on the Louvain road
They disposed of a dozen bottles of
wine and bread and meat. The non
commissioned officer in command
asked what the charge was and offered
some gold pieces in payment. The
money was refused.
Near the steps of St. Gudule a party
of officers of high rank seated in a
motor car, confiscated the stock of
the news venders. After greedily
scanning the sheets they burst into
loud laughter.
March Forward 'for Hours.
Hour after hour, hour after hour,
the kaiser's legions marched into
Brussels' streets and boulevards.
Some regiments made a fine appear
ance. It was notably so in the case
of the Sixty-sixth, Fourth and Twenty
sixth. Not one man of these regi
ments showed any sign of excessive
fatigue after the grueling night of
marching, and no doubt the order to
break step was designedly given to
impress the onlookers with the pow
ers of resistance of the German sol
diers.
The railway stations, the post office,
and the town hall were at once closed.
The national flag on the latter was
pulled down and the German emblem
hoisted in its place. Practically all
the shops were closed and the blinds
drawn on most of the windows.
What It Costs to Kill One
Man in Modern Warfare
The cost of killing a man is ob- j
tained by dividing the total cost of a
war to any of the belligerents by the
number of men killed on the other
side.
In 1870-1871 Ffance spent $400,000,
000 in the actual expenses of the war.
Repairing materials and giving succor
to the victims of the war, expenses
that are justly to be added, cost an
other $200,000,000. France paid $1,
000,000,000 as war indemnity, plus an
other $400,000,000 In interest on the
Bum, loss of revenue, forced contribu
tions by the enemy and upkeep of the
German army of occupation. This
third category of expenses, not being
Inevitable in all wars, cannot properly
be included.
On a similar basis here are some
facts about other wars:
Russo-Turkish war (1877-18781 —
Turkey. $400,000,000.
Russo-Japanese war (19051—Russia,
$1,200,000,000.
The number of men killed or who
died of wounds in these wars were:
Franco-Prussian war—Germans, 28.
600. /
Russo-Turkish war—Russians, 16,
600.
Russo-Japanese war—Japanese, 58,
600.
Whence It results that the cost of
killing each man was as follows:
In 1870-1871, $21,000.
In 1877-1878, $15,000.
In 1905, $20,400.
What will kill the greatest number
and reduce the effective force most
will be not the rifle or cannon, but
fatigue, typhus or cholera.
Phantom Ships.
British war vessels swarm (Just out
of sight) off our coast, says the Hart
ford Courant. German war vessels
(Just out of sight) are hovering about
the Atlantic to capture French or Brit
ish ships. Mysterious searchlights flash
along the eastern horizon for the en
tertainment of those at the seashore.
Startling, indeed—and then '‘nihil fit.”
What does it recall to the adult mind?
Don’t you remember that mysterious
“Spanish fleet," which spread a scare
all along the coast, not by any means
omitting Washington? There never
was any such fleet, but that made no
difference. Thoughtful residents of
Boston quietly transferred their safe
deposit contents to similar depositor
ies in Worcester. Conservative New
Haveners went to Hartford and put
them in safe deposit there. The fleet
never showed up, but the scare did,
and now the ghost, the same old spec
ter, Is on the job again. Will it map
terialize this time?
Modern Russia’s Founder.
Alexeievitch, usually styled Peter
the Great, was the creator of modern
Russia, the father of such civilization
as Russia may be said to possess, and
the founder of St. Petersburg, as well
as the first czar of Muscovy to assume
the title of emperor, as students know.
The students also know that the father
of his country, while reforming others,
neglected to reform himself, an omis
sion not peculiar to Peter—and re
mained to the last a coarse and brutal
savage and tyrant, addicted to the
meanest vices and finding his greatest
joy in torturing his enemies. Often he
lopped off ten or twenty heads in suc
cession, and was immensely proud of
his horrid dexterity with the sword.
TAKING OF BRUSSELS
IS OF NO ADVANTAGE
That the Germans are going out of
their way in occupying Brussels was
the declaration of Gustave Vuylsteke.
a Brussels banker who passed through
Chicago on his way to his native land.
"Brussels’ Importance as a military
position amoilnts to nothing,’’ he said.
“It is north of the main army’s line of
march. Those hordes could have aimed
their invasion of France through our
country without touching It. The Bel
gians are a commercial people, and
not keen for war, but we fight In de
fense of our native land.
"It was better for us not to make a
show of resistance in Brussels, for, of
course, the place couldn’t withstand
an assault. Among other things the
purpose of the flight of the govern
ment was to prevent the destruction
of the historic buildings. Many of
these have a long history and interest
ing associations. Brussels is the 'Lit
tle Paris of Europe.’ ”
TIMELY NOTES OF THE SUMMER HOG LOT I
» - -
' . ^^I
Large Stock Tank on Farm of Illinois Farmer.
Pasture and pure water are the per
fection of pig feed for summer.
Mud holes and wallows have no
place in a hog pasture.
Every pig that goes to pasture
should have a ring in his nose.
For summer bedding a few loads
of clear white sand is excellent.
Eliminate cabbage, turnips, etc., a
few weeks before butchering time.
Do not let the yards become foul
and unsanitary. Plow them often.
Cast-iron troughs are the most san
itary, although plank will do if kept
clean.
Fifty hogs in a bunch will thrive bet
ter than a large number.
The perfect mother bunches her
brood in some corner and settles down
a few feet from them.
Never select a young boar with a
coarse, homely head and expect re
sults that will be satisfactory
When a sow is cross and ugly to
two litters in succession, sell her.
Prolificacy must not be lost sight
of in the general-purpose hog.
The pig’s digestive apparatus must
be developed to its full capacity be
fore the fattening period begins.
Select sires and rams from large
1 i tteraT
Excessive flesh produces a crowding
of the Internal organs that is detri
mental to fecundity.
The digestive powers of the hogs
are the feeder’s foundation of success.
Similarity of breeding stock pro
duces offspring of much greater value.
Do not compel the pigs to lie In wet,
muddy nests over night and never al
low them to become chilled.
Pneumonia is just as likely to oc
cur with pigs as with human beings,
although the pig is more certain to re
cover; however, it is an unfavorable
condition and is not wanted.
Young pigs should have fresh sod
thrown in to them occasionally if they
are not allowed to run out into the
large yard. The best thing for young
pigs is to get them out on the ground
and in the sunshine. It is almost im
possible to secure thrifty young pigs
unless they have sunshine, exercise
and a yard to run in.
The business of breeding pure-bred
swine, is a business by itself and it
should not be undertaken by anyone
who cannot keep records straight and
who Is not willing to invest good
-jnoney for improved blood.
The most conservative course is to
select the breed most popular in your
vicinity and improve upon the com
mon individuals by the use of im
proved breeding boars.
The idea of perfect comfort should
predominate in every building that is
constructed for hogs.
As farrowing time approaches be
sure that the old sow is in a good pen
with a strong rail or plank around
the sides standing out some 15 inches
and standing about a foot from the
floor.
Great care should be taken not to
overfeed the sow for the first few days.
The skillful feeder will regulate her
feed so that her milk supply will in
crease about as fast as the demands
of her litter for it increase until at
about two weeks of age they are ta
king about all their dam is capable
of giving when on full feed.
A large proportion of the growth
obtained while the pig is less than
live months of age costs only a
little actual money and to make the
business profitable it is essential that
we secure the most gain possible dur
ing the first few months of the pig's
life.
When pigs are kept eight months,
when fully as good weight could have
been obtained at six months, the profit
is anything but what it should have
been.
There are good openings for men in
the pig business, who will feed city
swill. It is good material for pig feed->
ing, but must be fed with judgment
Before feeding, it should be heated up
and fed before it becomes cold. In
many ca£es outbreaks of disease come
from feeding cold swill.
OAT HAY FEED FOR
THE YOUNG COLTS
Cost of Threshing Is Saved and
All Animals Like It—Fits
in Rotation.
It Is often a matter of wonder why
those who mean to feed out an oata
crop should handle it in any other
way than as hay. The cost of thresh
ing is saved by handling the crop in
this way, and all animals are fond of
it and thrive upon it. While oats is
not so good on the soil as some of
the legumes, it fits well into the
rotation and makes one of the best
cereal hay crops, says the Western
Farmer.
If it is intended to feed them from
the sheaf, they should be cut several
days earlier than when they are to
be threshed. The grain will be prac
tically as good as later and the rest
of the plant will be a good deal more
palatable and more digestible. The
later cutting gives a more woody
straw, and some loss from shatter
ing of the grain. If one has plenty
of storage room the bundles can be
piled away under cover as soon as
sufficiently cured. Or, if a good Job
of stacking can be done, oats will
keep outdoors until the following
spring with very little loss with
either grain or straw. When oats are
to be cut with a mower they should
be cut earlier than when they are to
be bound into sheaves. Just after
the milk stage is the best time in this
case. It is necessary to give mowed
oats room in the barn, for it is diffi
cult to stack them so they will keep.
If it is attempted to stack the o&ts
hay outdoors, it should be covered.
Horses and y£mg colts find hay of
this kind well suited to their needs,
and a number of leading cattle-grow
ers have been using it for several
years and find it entirely satisfac
tory. The cattlemen salt the hay in
the stack and find that the cattle eat
It all and do well on it. It is also a
good dairy feed, combining grain
and roughness and furnishing variety
In the ration.
„ Feed for Sows.
Sows that have raised a spring lit
ter, when pigs are weaned must be
fed well for a pig can be easily stunt
ed when born. Pasture alone will not
do.
Increase Profit in Sheep.
The profit in sheep is not within 16
per cent of what it could be if care
were exercised in time to prevent foot
rot, scab, etc. *
Sun the Poultry House.
Poultry houses should be sunned
out some during the day, but it is far
from advisable to have the sun beat
into it during the biggest part of the
day, resulting in making the house
more of an oven than a roosting place
for hens.
Fall-Planted Fruit Trees.
In an experiment covering three
years, the Missouri agricultural col
lege has found that fall-planted fruit
trees produce 33 per cent more growth
than spring-planted trees.
\
DIPPING FOR MANGE
AND LICE ON SWINE
Most of Coal-Tar Dips Are Quite
Satisfactory If Strong and
Warm Enough.
(By M. H. REYNOLDS.)
Treatment of hogs for mange
should begin with a vigorous scrub
bing with brush, soap and soft water
so as to remove the crust. A variety
of coal-tar dips are on the market.
Most of these are quite satisfactory
if of sufficient strength and warm
enough (about 1X0 degrees F. Do not
boll). The hog should be given a
good, thorough soaking in the dip, not
less than two minutes. The hog must
go under, head and all, at least once.
Treatment must usually be repeated
one or more times at Intervals of
eight days. Treat the whole herd and
do it thoroughly.
An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows:
Four gallons crude oil.
Sixteen gallons water.
One pound soap.
The soap should be dissolved in the
water by heating. An emulsion is
then made by adding the oil and thor
oughly churning the mixture. Water
in different sections differs very great
ly in the way it will combine with
soap. If this amount of soap does not
give a good emulsion simply add more
soap. Avoid oily dips in cold weather.
While the hogs are taking the dip,
thoroughly clean and then disinfect
the pens. In case of true mange the
fence posts, trees, and everything
against which the hogs can rub must
also be disinfected. Use a strong dis
infectant and plenty of it. After
treatment do not put hogs back into
lousy or mangy pens.
Secret Not Yet Found.
In spite of the great amount of
work which has been done by scien
tific investigators in studying mate
rials for combating fungous diseases
and insect pests of orchard and gar
den, the ideal spray material has not
been discovered. This is not so much
from the standpoint of efficiency in
the control of the pests and diseases,

It is a common practice among
farmers to use a little buttermilk
from one churning as a starter for the
next batch of cream. This is the eas

if the buttermilk is good, it is very
satisfactory. '

Possibly In His Civic Pride Man Could
Not Imagine the Possibility of
Their Being Another.
A New York artist, who Lad just
returned from Jamaica, West Indies,
showed in his studio some paintings
of Jamaica scenery.
One day a man who had been stroll
ing through the studio stopped before
a certain picture and said: “What is
this?”
"A scene in Jamaica,” said the art
ist.
“Jamaica?” repeated the visitor.
“That's strange. I don't remember
ever seeing anything like that in
Jamaica.”
“You have been there then?” asked
the artist.
"I live there.” «
"Then surely you must be acquaint
ed with this place. It is a street
scene in the principal tcrwn of the
island.”
The man from Jamaica looked at
the artist for a moment as if he
thought he must be daft. Then he
said:
> “I live in Jamaica, and there isn’t
a street in the town that bears the
slightest resemblance to that pic
ture.”
The mention of Jamaica as a town
cleared away the mist.
"I see,” said the artist, “you live
in Jamaica, L. I.”
"Sure,” said the other. "Is there
another Jamaica anywhere?”
From His Point of View.
"Why aren’t you over in Europe,
fighting for your country?” asked the
American of the European who wanted
a nickel to get a drink.
“I fought over dere once,” answered
the foreigner.
"Ah! And did you stand your
ground when a real battle came?”
“No, sir; I runned away.”
"What! You ran at the first shot?”
“Yessir, mister. An’ if I know eet
come sooner, I run before dat!”
"That's an awful confession of cow
ardice. Do you consider your life
worth more than other people’s lives?
Is your life worth more than the life
of your brave captain, of your valor
ous colonel, your intrepid general?”
"Yessir, it be worth more.”
"What do you mean, worth more?”
"Vorth more to me, ain’t it?”
Unmade History.
At the President’s first call for
troops, militants took the field with
ardor. All they asked was to be
shown the enemy.
But the casualties of the ensuing
campaign were appalling. The re
sources of the Red Cross were piti
fully inadequate. At times half the
combatants were seriously If not
mortally freckled.
Inevitably spirits drooped. A pickle
and a banana were added to the daily
ration, but the response was not com
mensurate with the expense.
“What shall it profit a woman to
prove that she can fight as well as a
man and lose her complexion?” sol
diers were heard to ask one another
ominously.

At 114 in the Shade, Farmer Didn't
See Necessity for Shortening
Hours of Labor in the Field.
^ A St. Louisian who responded to tha
Macedonian cry for help from tha
Kansas wheat fields tells this story:
"The farmer told us we were to
work ten hours a day, but that wheo
it got hot he would knock ofT an hour.
One day, after we had been out in tha
blazing sun until we were panting for
breath, we came in to dinner to find
the mercury up to 114. We thought
the farmer would say something about
short hours that afternoon, but he
didn’t. As we started out to work I
said to him:
" ‘One hundred and fourteen in tha
shade!’
“ ‘Yes,’ he answered. 'Do you feel
it much?’
“ ‘No,’ I said. ‘I don't mind 1$ par*

FACE FULL OF PIMPLES
4240 So. California Ave., Chicago, 111,
—"About a year ago my face was full
of pimples and red spots. To sleep
one night without Itching was almost
impossible. Some of the pimple*
would get big and red and if I touched
them they would pain, while other*
would get white heads on them and
when they broke open some matter

and I scratched them so that some
