Numerous Use. of Feathe rs.

Many people neglect to save the
feathers of their poultry, thinking
them of but little value. Such persons
will be surprised at the following uses
to which they are put. The quilts from
the second and third joints of the wing
of the turkey are used for making
feather busters. Large quilts of both
geese and turkeys are used for feather
bone. Dry chicken feathers are used
for cushions, and the feathers from
the large Pekin and Aylesbury ducks
are mixed with those of geese. Feath-
ers are also valuable as fertilizers and
will pay for the saving. Feathers for
market should be clean and free from
blood. Any of the commission mer-
chants will receive them on consign-
ment.

4 Marvellous Change-How = Future of
Gloom Was Averted-The Present
Full Of Joy and Hope.
From the Herald, Helena Mont.
AS rugged and hardy as one Of the pines
which grow in the rocky mountain region is
g. E. Ticknor, of Helena, Montana. For
twenty-four years he has resided in the
mountain country, but his vigor is not due
altogether to the bracing air of Montana.
Last fall MIR. Ticknor was what might well
be termed physical wreck. For eight
weeks he lay on his bed suffering from q
severe attack of sciatic rheumatism in one
Of his hips. Physicians and medicines gave
him no relief and the future looked gloomy.
Added to his troubles was the anxiety con-
corning the care of a large family. By
chance one day Mr.. Ticknor saw an account
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He said to Herald reporter that he was not
in favor of proprietary remedies, but in this
instance something in the article caught his
attention and he determined to give the pills
a trial. In the interview with the Herald
representative the other day, Mr.. Ticknor
spoke in the most emphatic terms OF the
marvellous change in his condition. "Before
week had gone by" he said, 81 was able
to get out of bed and move about. 1had
hardly used one box of the pills. By the
time l had taken three boxes I felt
twenty years younger. In fact I was a
new man and have been perfectly well ever
since. can't say too much for Pink Pills
and never miss an opportunity to praise
them.''
When the Herald representative saw Mr.
Ticknor he was making some repairs on the
school building on Boulder Avenue: He
swung his carpenters hammer with all the
vigor of lusty young man and looked as
hale and hearty as any man of his years to
be found in the entire rocky mountain coun-
try. He is ffty-nine years old and is able
to do days work at his trade of carpenter.
Pink Pills can always be found in his house.
Mr.. Tic]1nor lives at 1919 Boulder Avenue,
near the American Biscuit Manufacturing
Company's plant, where he will be glad to
see anyone who wishes to verify this &C.
count Of his experience with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of Weakness They build up the
blood, and restore the glow Of health to pale
and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excuses Of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never
in loose bulky at 80 cents a box or six boxes
for $3.50, and may be had of all druggists, or
direct by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine

POSY RINGS.
Some Of These Posies Are Very Quaint and

Some Of These Posies Are Very Quaint and
Curious.
When posies inside of wedding rings
were first introduced does not seem to
be known, says Chambers Journal.
Time has covered that, as he does so
many things, with the MOSES of obliv-
ion, but we know that from the six
teenth century until the middle Of the
eighteenth it was customary to have
them engraved on rings. These pos
ies or notices are seldom to be found
with more than two lines of verse, and
often with only one, but there IRE few
instances known where three lines
ore used. Some of these posies are
very quaint and curious, and a few
reach high standard of poetic beauty.
In 1912 small collection of rhymes
was published with the title of Loves
Garland; or Posies for Rings, Handker-
chiefs and Gloves, and Such Pretty To-
kens That Lovers Send Their Loves" 1t
contains some posies that are not to be
met with elsewhere, and is 4 very inter-
esting work, though butfewpeople seem
to have heard of it. The South Ken
sington museum has a good collection
of posy rings, and among them we find
the following: Omitted hearts death
only parts" "Let us share in joy and
care" Love and live happily" There
is a story to the effect that DR.. John
Thomas, who was bishop of Lincoln in
1883, caused to be inscribed inside his
fourth wife's wedding ring:
IF I survive
I'll make them I've"
II this be true, and not the fable 1t
appears, we can only judge that the
lady who wore the ring meant to out
live her spouse. How the story arose
is not known, but most likely it is oil
imagination, for we find the same thing
said about Lady Cathcart and her
fourth husband in 1913.

door shut as soon as she spied the tat

retreating down the hall when the
bell began to ring again and so vio-

door again. Her husband came, how
ever, prepared to kick the wretch
downstairs. but the look of pain on
the visitors face restrained his wrath:

PRODUCTION. There is no computing the

such persons lose by hedging them
selves in with this stupid fence of fas-
tidiousness. We have always found
more of this feeling among persons

about it. A great deal of intelligence
is floating around the world without
being labeled, and those men or wom-

are educating themselves, but con-

buttons to economics or history have
been made-nOt even the language Of
Adam Smith, though, of course, we,
could have studied him if we had the
chance, and | mention the lack of a
professor of English merely as throw
ing light on the general situation. But
we had no chance to study Adam Smith
or any other real economist.
Even Mill, though he was the ac7
knowledged authority on the science
until nearly a score of years later, was
closed to us. He was an 'infidel," as
a score Of years later was Spencer,
whose "Study of Sociology" the then
president ruled out of the course. So
a scholar whose speciality was Greek,
and, later. international law, put us
through p%arrot-like r~ccitations in eco
Monies from 4 compilation that 1 often
