Safe and Sound.


The word ''safe" is from the Latin "salu
are,'' to save, preserve. Safe indicates
freedom from harm or danger; sound, un-
scathed, unchanged, secure, whole, as, safe
from disease.
safety, to be relied upon. Its synonyms
are secure, unendangered, sure. s'Salu-
tary" is from the same root, meaning
health, safety. The term is defined by
photographers as wholesome, healthful,
promoting health; contributing to some
beneficial purpose; salubrious, useful adj
vantageous, profitable. favorableness TO the
preservation Of health and prosperity.
How fitting the word, as applied to War
ner's Safe Remedies, which meet every re-
quirement of both materia medica and
etymology.
Their use protects from disease, and IL q
safeguard to the entire race.
Warmers Safe Cure has been extensively
used in this and every other civilized
country, and is recognized as the most
beneficial remedy known to man. 1t has
long been recognized Though not publicly
by the medical profession as the most va;u-
able compound for the general restora-
ton of the human system, by putting the
kidneys in q healthy condition, as when
these great organs are restored to q healthy
action then the poisonous waste matter il
expelled by the only blood-purifying organs
of the system.
Few are aware that the kidneys are the
only organs that can purify the blood.
Fancy the danger Of poisoned blood con
tinually ccursing through the body-65 gal
Ions of blood per hour, or IS barrels per
day, pass through the kidneys, yet the un-
suspecting regard them as OF little i'm
portance until they are stricken down. Poi
sored blood engenders general debility,
pneumonia, lung and bronchial troubles,
paralysis, apoplexy, heart complications,
rapidly failing eye-sight, scrofulous and
cancerous sores, and other serious mala
dies, which might be averted IL the kidneys
properly performed their work and ex
PEELED the poisonous, waste matter.
When the medical profession will strike
at the root instead Of hewing the branches
then we can hope for happy relief from
many Of the ills of the present day. When
diseases are called by their right names, and
the real causes Of death are made known
instead of death from symptoms of kidney
disease, it is then that the people will be
come more fully aware Of the terrible
fatality of diseases caused by imperfec
action of the kidneys.
We have often used our columns for thu
benefit Of our readers to proclaim the merits
Of the great remedy heretofore mentioned
which is daily becoming more popular, anc
we can but repeat the words so often usei
in their advertisements, which are very
simple and very easy, and within the reacl
Of all our readers-viz., to ask your friends
and neighbors about it.

Poultry Culture South.

Persons not specially interested in
the subject can have but little idea OF
the rapid progress that fancy. or thor
oughbred, poultry is making in the
South. Indeed, it is difficult for the
fanciers themselves TO fully realize the
great strides that are being taken in
the improvement of our domestic
fowls. In the ante-bellum days. and
for several years after the great
struggle, the only class OF fowls of any
special note on the Southern planta-
housekeeping. possibly. a few OF
the Brahma or Cochin varieties OF
questionable purity-were the Pit
games, a variety of fowls that then. as
well as now, were admired for their
pluck and graceful carriage, and which
were kept for ornament and also
amusement and sporting occasions.
In fact, the game chicken was the
only one worthy of special mention in
our Southland up to q very recent
period. Even with the advent Of other
and more practical fowls, this noble
bird, the Southern bred game cock,
still holds his own in point OF cour-
age and invincibility wherever he may
be.
But, with the turn of the Southern
mind from the old chivalrous times to
more modern ideas, and the transfer
nation of the Southern soldier into
the Southern miner, manufacturer and
merchant. a. well as advanced agri-
culturist comes the demand for i'm
proved livestock, which includes
poultry Of the higher type. And. %

How That Deposited In the New York SUBJ
Treasury In Guarded.
ub-Treasurer Ellis II. Roberts made
an innovation recently that occasioned
much interest in the building when
considered together with his determi-
nation to put the employees under bonds.
From time immemorial the combine
nations of the locks to the big vaults,
where $1S3. 600, 900 in cash is stored,
have been known to one employee
and the Sub-Treasurer. Mr.. Roberts
changed this. Two men will own the
secret-one to know one-half of the
combination and the other the other
half. He himself will know nothing
These men will be known to their asso-
ciates, but to avoid complications in
case Of sickness or death Mr.. Roberts
has given another two the combina-
tions. These men are not known to
their associates, and are not even
known to each other. Further, to
guard against mishaps, the two men
known to have the combinations have
written, in separate sealed envelopes,
each his half of the secret, and Mr..
Roberts put these envelopes in big
envelope, plastered it with sealing wax
from end to end, and locked it in the
safe. This is for his own benefit, in
case the holders of one undivided half
OF the secret should be sick or die. Mr..
Roberts would then break the great
clump of wax on the big envelope, and
for the first time know the secret him.

disease, diabetes, gravel. or some other
dangerous integral disease Of the organs

HERE AND THERE.

Too much corn to horses in warm
weather will cause profuse perspira-
ton. Oats should be used in prefer
ence.
When you put in melons try the
icing riud watermelon. or cantaloups
use the Emerald gem. The latter is
small, but of excellent flavor.
Take your hoe. look over the
fields and pastures, and chop out the
burdock. 1t is pernicious pest and
should be kept down from the begin
ming.
This is the time when the peach
borer is getting in its work. Be on
the watch for it. and hunt carefully
around each tree.
1t is better to cut away the dead
wood from trees, even If the tree is
disfigured. than to allow it to remain.
This is especially the case with the
peach, which thrives under severe
cutting back.
Bran and cotton-seed meal are the
cheapest and best foods that can
be bought. They not only increase
the flow of milk and induce rapid
growth of young stock, but add to the
value of the manure.
III. B. Fuller, of China, N. Y, had
during the past season small dairy
of four-grade Jersey cows. He real
lied 1909 pounds Of butter, or S021
pounds each, besides the butter used
in the family.
Wood ashes will answer for young
trees. No manure is required. Pear
trees should not be forced in growth
too rapidly. The second year mkt
ure or ground bone and ashes will
make an excellent fertilizer.
ALI who are engaged in butter
making should strip the cows clean. as
the 'strippings contain from twenty
five to thirty per cent cream If
milk is feft in the cows bags to dry
away there will be Jumps in the teats.
If butter is kept covered tight
when put in the ice-chest it will not
absorb the odor of any food lying near.
There is nothing so sensitive as butter,
and yet you may see it at any time
placed near to meat or vegetables.
Old ewes may be sold If the lambs
are weaned. Only strong, vigorous
ewes should be retained. Select those
that yielded plenty Of milk for the
lambs for breeding purposes, and sell
off the rams in order to infuse new
blood in the flock.
-Sorrel thrives at this season ani
crab grass later on. Keep it down a
all costs in order to lessen the number
off plants next season. When Grail
grass appears it is easily destroyed
when young. Constant cultivation il
the only remedy for both.
The clover field is the place for the
pigs that have been weaned. They vii
need very little other food. A mess O
SKINNED milk. or buttermilk, with {
small quantity Of ground oats at night
will cause the pigs to grow rapidly /

FIRST LOVE.

How does woman lover Once, no more,
Though life forever its loss deploro;
Deep in sorrow or deep in sin,
One king reigneth her heart within.
One alone, by night and day,
Moves her spirit to curse or pray
One voice only can call her soul
Back from the grasp of deaths control;
Though lovers beset her, or friends derlde,
Yea, when she smileth another mans bride,
still for her master her life makes moan
Once Is forever, and once alone.
How does q man iovof oncofor all.
, The sweetestvoices OF life may call,
Sorrow daunt him, or death dlsmay,
Joys red roses bedeck his way;
Fortune smile or jest, or frown
The cruel thumb OF the world turn down;
Loss betray him, or love delight
Through storm or sunshine, by day or night,
wandering toiling, asleep. awake,
Though souls may madden, or weak hearts
break,
Better than wife, or child, or peif
Once and forever he loves-hlmself.
Rose Terry Cooke.
