TO MARK OLD AUGUSTA.

Last week Senator Hummel of
Seiinsgrove introduced a bill in the
Senate appropriating SS0OO.OO tor
the purchase by the State of part of
the site of Old Fort Augusta atSun-
bury. This place is replete with
ancient historical occurrences and
during the early settlement of this
country was the scene of many a
conflict between the whites and red
skins. During the colonial period,
the place was known as Shamokin
and was the home of that renowned
and beloved Indian chief, Shikelimy,
for many years. This was also
place of rendezvous for travellers who
as Il rule followed the river. twas
here also that Conrad Weiser spent
a great deal of time. An Indian
blrying ground has been recently
discovered on this very tract and the
place is worthy of the attention OF
the great State Of ofPennsylvania. The
history ofthis place is perhaps best
and most fully describeda and narrat-
el by John F. Meginnis, the his
torian of the West Branch valley.
The present movement to buy the
site of Fort Augusta was started by
the Daughters OF the Revolution.
We trust Senator HummePs efforts
to get a billthrough carrying with it
the provisions above recited, will be
crowned with success.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inaamed you have rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which IS nothing but an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Don't try to make good butter when
milk and cream are kept in unventi-
lated cellars.
Turn off the old cows. 1t is not wis
dom to keep COWS after they are eight
years old, as rule.
Whenever you see black pepsin rec
commended for the increase of the but
ter product, count it as fraud.
Do you know what profit each of your
COWS yield you? If you are butter
maker it is possible and profitable.
If your land is hilly, select that va
riety of cows which will thrive best.
Heavy cattle cannot climb hills readily.
In selling COW for mixer, be hon
est with the persons to whom you sell.
Establish a reputation for fair dealing.
If any of our readers milk eight or
ten cows they cannot afford to set the
milk in cans. Separate. Get a sep
arator.
The dairy is, without question, more
profitable than wheat growing in Min
nesota and in many sections of both
Dakotas.
If, after feeding the proper milk
making food to your cows, you are still
unable to obtain a good quality of milk,
try giving her fat-making substance
and dispose of her.
When anyone gets where he thinks he
can learn nothing he might as well die,
and perhaps he will get somewhere
where there is something to learn.
There is good deal for the best of us
yet to learn in the dairy.
Every pound of butter made in the
country should grade as prime butter
and will if all buttermakers will learn
all that readily can be learned about
the business.-Western Plowman.

IN FAVOR OF THE cENTAUR co.
Judge Adams Granted an Injunction
in the Castoria Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centaur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel w. Eslinger, of st.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
1t was stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles H. Fletcher is president, is the
sole manufacturer of "Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those of the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for to restrain the defendants from in
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had a right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by af-
fdavits. Judge Adams, without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was a species of robbery and he would
granr the injunction sought.
The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar to the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago, indianapolis,
District of Columbia, Texas and New
Jersey, in all of which the courts grant
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
don and Blair, of st. Louis, and F. H.
Scott, of Chicago, for the complain
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
PENDANT. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
will be adjudged when the case has its
final hearing.
The bottles of the original "Castoria"
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident, Charles Fl. Fletcher, on the label.
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
pitchers Baby Castoria" 1t is said
that criminal proceedings will follow,
and that several arrests may be made.

Living by Not Eating

In a recent letter to a correspondent
Gen. Sir Arthur Clinton attributed his
extreme age to his habit of eating very
little food indeed. The idea was sug-
gested to him by noting the small guam
tity of food eaten by the people of the
east, where he lived so long. Suisse
quent experience confirmed his belief
that people should eat on an aver
age about three-quarters of what they
do, with absolute fasts occasionally if
they seem to be at all out of order, and
there would not be tenth of the sick
ness there is" Sir Arthur has been n
teetotaler for the last 30 or 40 years,
and he believes. that alcohol and lobac-
co are absolute poisons." - London
