Parsnip Complexion.

1t docs not require an expert to de-
tect the sufferer from kidney trouble.
The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes,
the dark, puffy circles under the eyes,
the sallow parsnip-colored complexion
indicates il.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in
the back or over the hips, stomach
trouble, desire to urinate often, or a
burning or scalding in passing 1t; il
after passing there is an unsatisfied
feeling as if it must be at once repeat
ed. or il the urine has brick dust de-
post or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present.
no time should be lost in removing
the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel. catarrh
of the bladder, Inflammation, causing
stoppage, and sometimes requiring the
drawing Of the urine with instru-
ments, or may run into Bright's dis
ease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trouble.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
discovery Of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is positive RENE
dy for such diseases. Its reputation is
worldwide and it is so easy to get at
any drug store that no one need suf-
fer any length Of time for want of it.

OHIO Experiment Station Bulletini
Irrigation cannot be regarded as indis
pensable to success In strawberry cui-
ture, as, by means of heavy mulching,
sufficient water may be retained In the
soil for the necessities of the crop In
ordinary seasons. but an abundant sup
ply OF water simply makes success
more certain. and where intensive cul-
ture Is practiced an irrigation plant
ought to be a part OF the equipment.
Strawberry plants require an abund-
ance Of moisture at all stages Oh
growth, but this is most easily secured
during the first season by attending to
the proper details in preparation OF the
soil and in cultivation. Early and
continuous cultivation saves the moist
ure to greater extent than Is COM
monty supposed. 1t has been found
that the loss OF moisture from unplow-
ed ground may be In excess OF that
from cultivated soil to an amount equal
to an inch and three-fourths OF rainfall
in one week. A man with team and
water on an acre OF land as fast as II
escapes by evaporation from the soil
when 1t goes of at that rate IL he had
to haul the water one-fourth OF a mile.
The Importance Of stirring the soil
soon after shower Is generally known.
but In practice cultivation after slight
showers is often neglected. This Is be-
cause no crust forms after slight show
ers; hence the necessity OF stirring the
soil at once is not apparent. A slight
wetting Of dry soil. however. In
creases the upward flow OF water. hence
there is more water added to the sur
face soil at such times than comes In
the form OF rain. The sun and wind
soon 'dissipate the slight rainfall and
along with 1t much OF the water which
came from the lower layers OF the
soil. leaving the soil drier than before.
AS the two are commonly used. cul-
tivator Is better machine for irri-
eating than a sprinkling cart.

ARMY AND NAVY WIVES.
Bearing Up BrAvely ~ Their Husbands
Go to the Front.


Go to the Front.
A Chicago woman who was In
Washington when Captain Sigsbee,
formerly OF the warship Maine. left to
take command of the st. Paul, hap
pened to be at the railway depot when
he took the train. The captain was
accompanied by the members Of his
family and when seen by the people
at the station was given hearty
cheer. The captain kissed the women
Of his family affectionately before he
passed through the gate for his train,
but they made no fearful demonstra-
ton. They looked thoughtful, but APP
parently had themselves under per-
feet control and refrained from max
ing even the slightest suggestion OF a
scene. The Chicago woman and some
female friends who were with her
marveled at the quiet parting and
could not help commenting on the
scene. How can they let him go at
that?" they inquired OF each other.
After what he has been through.
saved from death only by a miracle
less than two months ago, how can
they see him departing to face more
danger without being simply out OF
their minds? II he were my husband
he shouldn't goi" The women who
made these comments did not bear In
mind the fact that this sort of self
restraint, which appeared so strange
to them, is as rule the fruit Of years
OF training on the part of women
whose male relatives are attached to
the land or the sea forces of the gov
eminent. Self-control is bred In the
bone of army and navy women. In
no country in the world is there so
much service" intermarrying as there
Is in the United States. There are ex-
traordinary ramifications of relation
ship by marriage in the American
army and navy. The results of this
is that most of the women whose hus-
bands, fathers and brothers are now
likely to mix in the thick of the i'm
pending war are thoroughly imbued
with that spirit Of abnegation that an
mates the men. They are subscrib-
ers to code Of nerve of their own
and the very first clause OF the I'M
written but all-peryasive code is that
it would be quite as weakened and
cowardly for them to wilt in the face
OF trouble as it would be for their men
to show the yellow. There is, OF
course, no lack of womanly feeling on
the part of the feminine members OF
the households OF American army and
navy officers, but their whole environ
ment is such as TO bring out the
strongest common sense of which hu.
man beings are capable when the dan
ger to their men becomes more immi-
nent. Their spirit is such that they
would take shame unto themselves II
they interjected any whimperings into
the preparations for the departure OF
their men

SOME RAILWAY STATISTICS
one Passenger Must BE Carried five
Miles to Earn a Cent

One Passenger Must Be Carried Five
Miles to Earn a Cent.
Last year the railways Of the United
States carried over 1900, 900 600 mas
sengers one mile. They also carried
s5,00o,000,000 tons of freight one mile.
The total amount paid in dividends ON
stock was 1888, 371-caIl it sSS oOO.-
900. OF the total earnings of the rail
ways about 20 per cent came from
freight service and 30 per cent from
passenger service. Let us assume
then, that Of the S8s.0-O 900 maid in al
vidends 10 per cent. or gG1 900 600 was
profit on freight service and s26. 400. 600
was profit on passenger service. Let
us drop fractions and call il sG2 600 a0o
from freight and s260J0,O00 from mas
sengers. BY dividing the passenger
proht into the number of passengers
carried 13.000,0 600 Oo0) we find the
railways had to carry a passenger 500
miles in order to earn 81 of profit or
five miles to earn / cent. Their aver
age profit, therefore1 was less than
two-tenths Of ] cent for carrying n
passenger land his baggage) / mile.
By dividing the freight profit into
the freight mileage COS, 000, 900 .0O0) we
ind that the railways had to carry
one ton of freight 1880 miles in order
to earn 81, or over fifteen miles to
earn cent. The average profit.
therefore, was less than one fifteenth
Of a cent for carrying a ton of freight
(besides loading and unloading it) one
mile.
