HOME FOR THE SICK.
This lns tuition Was Formally
Opened Yesterday.

The Home for the Sick, located in the
two story brick building which has been
rented by the gentlemen of tho Roanoke
Hospital Association, was formally
opened by the board of lady patronesscs
yesterday. All day several ladies Of the
board were at the building to receive
donations, which were being brought in
by the generous people OF Roanoke.
This homo was established by the
Roanoke Hospital Association with tho
assistance Of the board of lady patron
esses, to establish long felt want,
where the sick can receive treatmen mt
that it is impossible for them to have in
boarding houses. No fees will be
charged to those who are unable to pay.
The board of lady directors who are
taking such an active part in this chari-
table work is composed of the president
Mrs. s. w. Jamison; vice-president,
Mrs. j. Allen Watts; treasurer, Mrs. &.
R. Henderson, and Mrs. r. s. Koehler,
Mrs. George Gravatt and Mrs. Bring
man. The matron, Mrs. William T.
Patton, will occupy the building with
her husband.
The house contains ten rooms, all Of
which, except the matron's room, will
be for the use of the patients. The
patronesses have obligated themselves
to furnish the house, and, with the as
sistance OF other ladies, have nearly
completed their work.
One room has been handsomely fur
nished by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Railroad Mems Christian Association
and will be reserved for sick and in
jured railroad men. Among the articles
that were donated to the home are sew
eral sets of table ware, lamps, tables,
stoves, a refrigerator, table linen,
towels and napkins, beds, bedding and
numerous other articles.
The railroad men will be attended by
Doctors Koiner and Gale, the city pa
tients by DR.. Leigh Buckner, and the
patients who pay can, Of course, suit
themselves in regard to medical attend
ance. This house being surrounded by
several vacant lots, and thoroughly
cleansed and renovated, will mako a
very suitable temporary home for the
sick.
There has been already one applica-
zion for admittance, that of little girl
afflicted with rheumatism.

SolLlNG EXPERIMENT.


Indications BASED on Tests Made at the
Iowa Experiment Station.
The indications from experiments
carried on at the Iowa Agricultural
Experiment station at Amcs Ia,
James Wilson, director upon soling
milch cows. may be stated as follows:
The average COW will eat about sew
enty-6ve pounds of green feed day,
kept in the stable with grain ration
added.
That cows fed on oats and peas,
clover and corn, fed green in the stable,
in midsummer, will give more milk
than when feeding on good blue grass
pasture.
That a COW fed on green feed in
stable darkened and ventilated. will
gam IN siAht more than she will in a
well shaded pasture.
That the COW responds as promptly
to a well balanced ration of grain
while eating green feed as she does on
dry feed
An acre Of peas cut green weighed
1875 tons.
An acre of peas anl oats cut green
weighed "a tons.
An acre of corn cut green weighed
sac tons
The second cut Of clover in a drought
81 tons.
1t is not necessary to cut green feed
oftener than twice a week. if IL is
spread TO avoid heating.

Good judges say that one Of the next To-
oalities 10 achieve distinction by jumping
from substantial town 20 a thriving me.
tropolis In few years will be the oity of
Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, without
the effort and struggle through which In
terror towns have passed while eftectlng
the same result Untila year or two ago
the average man did not stop 20 think that
Superior as a monOpolist OF the water and
rail terminl at one end Of the lakes Is IN the
same position as Buffalo at the other end.
Figures are uninterestlng unless given
briefly, but comparisons are always impor-
tant This little Superior, credited by its
last census with only $1,000 people, handled
moro coal last year than did Chicago; of
grain, IL shipped nineteen million bushels;
of -four, sixteen hundred thousand barrels;
OF wool, four million pounds; OF merchan-
disc, TO the value OF thirteen million dol.
lars or all lake oities this business was
second only 20 Chicago in magnitude.
There is an economical reason for this con-
diuon Of things. Its that the rail rate on
freight sent west OF Lake Michigan Is one
cent per ton per mile, while the water rate
Is one-tenth Of one cent per ton per mile.
This position at the extreme western end OF
Lake Superior Is what gives the city Of SUI
perior its prestige, aud is making it grow
faster than Chicago ever did Besides one
hundred aud one smaller industrial con-
Germs, Superior has located twenty eight
large manufacturing enterprises in the past
eighteen months, including the American
Steel Barge Company, the builders OF the
famous 'whalebackn vessel which Is revo-
lutionizing the lake and ocean freight car
ryng trade The twenty eight institutions
above mentioned, include iron and steel
plants, flour mills, stove foundries, wagon
factories, pump makers, shipbuilders and
saw aud shngle mills. The most eonsorya-
tive business men in the Northwest believe
that Superior will grow faster in the next
ten years than any other city in that pros
porous sectiop.of the country, and many of
them claim that Chicago, st Paul, Mime
apolis and Milwaukee have never seen the
rapid growth that will come to the head of
the great chain Of lakes and the city Of Su-
perior.

much enriches the land on which il is

been attributed 10 the deep roots Of
the plant and the long shading of the
surface. favoribg the formation Of the
nitrates, but under the light afforded
by the discovery Of the important part
played by microscopic germs in ths

The shelves, p, are eight inches wide,

The seed as planted

"used up" Malarial, typhoid or
bilious fevers spring from it-all
sorts of diseases. Don't take any
risk. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery invigorates the system
and repels disease. 1t starts the
torpid liver into healthful action,
purifies and enriches the blood, and
restores health and yigor. As an
appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets
at work all the processes of digcs-
tion and nutrition, and builds up
flesh and strength. For all diseases
that come from a disordered liver
and impure blood, skin, scalp and
scrofulous affections, it's the only
remedy that's guaranteed. If it
doesn't benefit or cure in every
case, you have your money back.
You pay only for the good you
get.
