II has been held that consumption Ia
hereditary, and the fact that one person of
family had died with consumption was
considered sure sign that others OF that
family could not escape lit. This is partly
true ana partly untrue. A man with weak
lungs Is likely to transmit that weakness to
his children. But there is no reason in the
world why the weakness should be allowed
to develop Keep the lungs lull OF rich. red

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallOw, sunken-c checked, dis
tressed- looking people you so often meet are
afflicted with kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer
from sleepessness, rheumatism, neuralgia,
brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and some
times the heart acts badly.
The cause Is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
does not find out what the trouble Is until 1t
is almost too late, because the first symp-
toms are so like mild sickness that they do
not think they need medicine or doctor
until they find themselves sick In bed.

and strengthen their weak and diseased kid
neys, purify their diseased, kidney poisoned
blood. clear their complexion and soon they
will enjoy better health.

A Possible New Industry.

Recent reports to the secretary OF
agriculture indicate that the climate of
Washington state is we'll adapted to the
growing of caulif1ower seed, which is
always supposed to be impossible of
production in the United States. If this
is so, a good market awaits Washing
ton growers. At present all such seed is
imported from Europe, mostly from
Denmark. The American vice consul at
Copenhagen writes to the state depart
ment that caulif1ower seed there has
gained Importance az an article OF ex-
port in recent years on account of soil
and climatic conditions, which are espe-
cially favorable. The species cultivated
is known as the Erfurt Dwarf, he states,
called also the Copenhagen caulifower.
or sometimes the SNOWFALL. 1t has been
brought to great perfection. The seed is
sown in September and gathered year
later, the plants requiring constant at.
tention in the meantime, says Wash
ington correspondent Of The American

Material For Covering Ice.

Undoubtedly sawdust is the best ma
terial to cover ice with, but in the part
of the country where l live but little
sawdust can be had because it is long
distance to any place where it is made
in large quantities. Marsh hay is used
instead of sawdust, and by many it is
considered just as good. Glover straw
or oat straw will do very we'll. OF the
two, clover straw with the ohaff from
hulling is the better material, says a
writer in Prairie Farmer.
