'J 0 TO QUIET 'niFr "i. Plo BAlTIMOItK, Mil. That there is n InrKo nml over-Increasing numhcr of women Binolicra In Ualtlmore was the opinion expressed by several prom Incnt phynlcliuis and women tlieni' nelvcH. Aloat of tho physicians wore utihusl tnthiK In tholr disapproval of the habit rir. William II. I'oarcc said: "I consider It bad for anyone to smoke, but It Is worse for women than Tor men. It lowers the inornl tone eventually and has absolutely noth ing to recommend It In nny way." When nHkcd If many of his women patients were Rinokers he declared that ho did not know. "It's not tho kind of habit to de mand treatment," ho said, "and as n matter of fact I know positively of only two of my women patients who make n practise of smoking." The greater number or women smokers In llaltlmoro are to bo found among tho "fashionables" the society set, nnd with them tho clgarotto habit Is said to be general. At some enter tainments given only for women tho entire party will take cigarettes as naturally as their husbands nnd broth ers would do. They have their own clgarotto cases nnd mntch boxes, and their own favorite brands, and, while not Haunting the habit in the fares of 11 conservative public, "make no 'Tis the Kellys Who CHICAGO. Several hundred Chicago Kellys have received letters re cently Informing them that they are descendants of ancient Irish kings, and for the modest sum of one dollar they will be sent the famous Kelly coat of arms. . The lottcrs are sent out by a Phila delphia concern thnt makes a business of looking up "family trees," and the Kellys all over tho United Stntes are receiving tho glad news. The "discovery" thnt Kelly was onco a king of Ireland wns made by a representative of the Philadelphia con cern "after years of research in the li braries of Dublin, Cork and Ilelfast." The ancestral coat of arms Is some thing that every Kelly should have according to the letter and ns there are only a few thousand left, It be hooves Kelly to remit his ono dollar without delay. The letter in part is as follows: Mr. Kelly Dear Sir: Wo have Just received from our agent In Dublin n -aro old engraving of the coat of arms Chicagoan to Start CHICAGO. Tho shades of Hen Franklin and the near shades of Thomas Edison aro about to fall upon tho fortllo fields of Lake county. Thanks to tho enterprise of Samuel In still, who has several considerable vegetnblo patches in the county ad Joining Cook, the garden Holds aro to have an electric treatment. When not working on his turnip patch, Mr. Instill Is president of the Commonwealth Edison company. He has also much to do with Lnko county electrical enterprises. They havo elec tricity to burn. This may have some thing to do with tho experiment In gardening which the Insull frlendB, and they nro legion, declnro ho Is about to perpetrato on a county whoso Throws Vinegar in NEW YORK. Mrs. Nathan Jasper, wife of a contractor, saved her hus band from posslblo denth at tho hands of a burglar recently by throwing n cup of vinegur Into the burglar's oyes and blinding him. The man went to Jasper and told him ho was starving. Ills appearance bore out his story. Jasper gavo him money for food, and told him ho would put him to work. When tho Jaspers wero getting ready for bed they round tho matt in a closet of their apart bones" of the matter and readily ad mit that they smoke. Another set about town among whom smoking Is Indulged In freely Includes the artistic and musical coteries Among them there Is al ways a more or less foreign element and Continental Ideas genet ally And favor. Several well-known women physl clans were asked about their observa tions on tho subject and, with one ac cord, they replied that tho habit was general among society women only. "It Is a conspicuous fact," said one, "that few women students of colleges or universities smoke. 1 have never known of a woman tencher who did." Another woman physician said she did not consider It hnd ever been con clusively proved that smoking in mod eration was harmful, but that she thought both men and women were nono the better for It. A well-known suffragist was asked whether a desire to vote on a wom an's part went with the habit of ciga rette smoking. She wns indignant and declared "very few Haltitnore suf fragists smoke, and, anyhow, those who do did It before they beenmo suffragists." Among clubwomen it Is almost un known, nnd in explanation of this they say they have too much to do and think about, and It Is only Idle women who learn to smoke. A well-known physician living on Charles street said thai while smoking might not hurt the woman, he con sidered It a horrid habit am) no woman was "klssable" who smoked. Ho was certain that he would not permit nny of his fumllj to Indulge In It for a minute. Are Proud Now of the Kelly family. We are now pro ducing this for framing nnd printing a pnmphlet, describing it and giving the lineal descent of the Mrst Kelly from Hcrcmon, first king of Ireland, nnd through a long line of Irish monnrchs. Only enough will be printed to 1111 ad vance orders. The price is only ono dollar. Send cash with order." Have you noticed Kelly since he got tho word from Philadelphia? Ho holds his head higher than usual and he will hardly bow to the Crndys and the Rclllys. "Whnfs come over Kelly?" is the question his neighbors are asking. When a Kelly meets a Kelly they shake hands cordially nnd the conver sation is about their ancestral coat of arms. "I always knew that Kelly wns one of tho best names in Ireland,'" said Udwnrd T. Kelly, president of the E. T. Kelly company, publishers, "but I didn't know we were descendants of kings until I got the letter from a 'family tree' concern the other day. More than fifty men of my namo havo spoken to me about it, as they also received letters on tho subject. "There is only ono way to spell tho name, and that is K-e-dnublo 1-y. Those who slip In the extra K between Ij nnd Y aro not the renl Kellys, tho descendants of Irish royalty." an Electric Farm farmers have always been respectably conservative. Von see, to tho presi dent of an electric company the light ing Juice Is cheaper than fertilizer. Think what It means to Chicago diners if the Instill plan bears fruit. Bill of fares will feature electric rnci Ishes, Incandescent onions, which may be odorless; pies from 10,000 candle power pumpkins; kilo-watt potatoes and alternating current cnbbages, In the wake of this eating may c 01110 electrical sprees. The somber citizen nftcr dining on an elect rilled potato salad may glow like a lightning bug nnd warble a few bars of "I Wonder Who's Khsltig Her Now." Each green pea may contain an electric shock nnd the result of eating a single portion may be shocking. If this comes to pass just blame Mr. Instill. There are three kinds of farming, us you probably don't know, unless you have had a illng at It. The tlrst grade Is tho common or garden variety as practised by our forbears. Then thero in tho up-to-date, rotatlon-lncrops, up-plled-eheinlstry brand. a Burglar's Eyes ment, unconscious. Tho closet hnd a spring lock on tho outside and the man had been shut in.

Jasper says tho man ho hud bo. friended was a former employe whom he had discharged on account of his habits. He says tho man stole his Jewelry before hiding In the closet. &sgs jMsM-r'M-fi$ NEED OF GOOD FERTILIZERS Application of Commercial Product Enhances Wheat Grower's Chances for Big Yields. With the ntajoiit' of farmers tho use of commercial teitill.ers In wheat seeding has become quite tho rule. While they do not use particularly large quantities per acre, they have found trout experience that 200 to 100 lbs. per acre aniiiinlly is a good In vestment. in mnny sections wheat has becomo rather an uncertain crop, and those who ralso It year after year, appre ciate the necessity of furnishing com plete cultural conditions and seeing to it that the soil contains sttfllcleut plant food to feed the ciop through to maturity. In other words, taking every precaution that will reasonably as btire fairly good yields and profits. The season just past has demon strated that even hi good wheat years when Holds without special treatment proved profitable, tho application of commercial fertilizers pays, tho ad vantago of applying fertilizers is read ily apparent. Whon fertilizers pny in good years, the results from Its ttso is all tho more striking in off years when tho general crop proves n fail ure. The glowing of wheat, in fact nny crop, Is surrounded with enough un certainties without trying to mnko good yields on poor soils which havo shown their gradual Impoverishment by the decreasfng yield each succeed ing season. Hy applying commercial fertilizers the wheat grower's chances for good yields are materially enhanced, and ns no one can foretell whether tho sea son will prove unfavorable, It Is econ omy to uso fertilizers on every seed ing. Ono of tho chief Inactions of commercial fertilizers with wheat, la to furnish tho young plant with plenty of available plant food right from tho start, enabling them to mnko rapid and vigorous growth nt a tlmo when it will mean most to the Inter develop ment of tho plnnt. With such n start tho roots soon reach down into tho soil wher they gather food rrom tho less available sources. This keeps tho plant growing steadily all through the season. With the uso of fertilizers ther is no standing still, which Is oft en tho case where no fertilizer is used. Tiie most perfectly prepared seed bed will not present a condition sultnblo for rapid growth unless there Is plenty of available phint food near tho surface where tho first formed rootlets can readily find it. SELF-CLEANING LAWN RAKE Simple Wooden Attachment to Ar ranged That Implement WW Thow Off Accumulations. When cleaning u Inwn of dend grnas, leaves, etc., with a garden rako much time is lost In removing tho trash clogged between tho teeth. I was us ing a wood back rako for this purposo and decided to make an attachment for Bolf-clennlng, writes John Mnko of Franklin, Mass., In Populnr Mechanics. I procured a soft and light piece of wood, in. thick, 14 in. wide, nnd nB long ns the rake bor, and bored holos in It to mntch the teeth of tho Cleans the Rake Teeth. rake. Attached to this piece of wood wero two pins which passod through tho back of tho rake. Two compres sion springs plnced on theso pins be tween their heads nnd tho rako back kept tho strip of wood at the baso of the rnko toeth. If tho grass or leaves would stick to tho rako teeth nftcr drawing of tho rnke, all that wbb nec essary to do to clean them was to turn the rnko over and strike tho heads of tho pins on tho ground. Tho teeth would bo cleaned instantly. Plow Lands Well.

SPRAY FOR POTATO BEETLE Most Growers Neglect Applying Poi son Until Insects Have Ob tained Start on Vines. The chief difficulty in spraying for the potnto beetle seems to be that most growers postpone applying tho poison until tho beetleti have obtained a good start upon tho vines. Tho best time to kill them Is Immediately, or soon after they hatch. Tho destructive season of the bee tles upon lato potntocfl llct between July 1 nnd AuguBt 10. The season of greatest destruction from blight upon lato potatoes usually comes between August 1G nnd September 1 e Potato Spraying Machine. Somo fanners nro deceived In think ing that they hnvo the beetlcB under control when tho Inrge insects sud denly disappear. The fact la theso beetles go into tho ground to get their wings, and when tho mature Insect comcB out thoy cause serious loss to tho crop by chewing off tho leaveH and leaving tho stems marly stripped of foliage. They cannot be con trolled at this stage. It Is nlmofst Impossible to prevent swnrmlng whon producing comb honey.

Women's Secrets There is one man in tire United States who has perhaps heard more women's secrets than any other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of ijuilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierco in tho hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women havo been disappointed in their ex pectations is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Pierco havo been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable it tho cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. Hut when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a- mil lion women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal. and entitles Dr. Pierce to the tfratitudo specialists in the treatment of women's Every sick woman may consult Dr. Pierco by letter, absolutely without charge.
