Long Doctoring Means Wrong Doctor
ing


II You are afflicted with chronic and
lingering disease ii is safe to conclude
that you are doetoring on wrong lines.
Ii proper medicine could not over
come your disease, the disease would
long ago have overcome you. The
trouble is that you have been treated
for something wholly foreign TO your
complaint, and the medicine either
has had no effect or has made YOU
worse. The wise thing to do is to
consult DIR. Greene, of "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, the discoverer
OF that greatest of all remedies, DIR.
Greene's Nervura. Call on him If
you can, but il that is inconvenient,
write him fully about your case. Yon
can tell him in letter many things that
you might forget in a personal inter-
view. Ii will cost YOU nothing, as
DR.. Greene makes no charge for con-
and advice.

SOME PRETTY GOOD FISHING
A sportsman known to forest and
stream was once on the beach at the
outlet of creek in New York state
looking for shore birds when he saw a
colored boy, who was fishing for perch,
lay down his pole at the call of his
mother to do some errand.
The sportsman put his gun aside
and took the cane pole and fshed, adj
ding dozen perch to the boys string
and then sneaked off. Presently a
second sportsman, happening that way
asked the boy the usual question and
received this answer:
"Yess'r, dey's good fshin heah.
Wen I stop to run to de sto' fo' to get
some cawnmeal fo' mann, de perch dey
come outen de crick an jes' strings dey'
selves avn my string. l dom on'stan

NEW GYPSY QUEEN TO BE CHOSEN
Representatives of all the Gypsy tribes
in New England and the middle states
are soon to hold congress in Plain
field, Pa, says recent press dispatch
for the purpose of choosing a queen tc
succeed "Snake Mary" the present
ruler, who is passing beyond the abili'
ty to administer the affairs of the va.
rious tribes. "Snake Mary" is 81
years old, and for so years has been
the ruler of the New England and
middle state. She is Of the Cooper
tribe, which, with the Harrison tribe,
is the strongest of all Romany nomads.
Her nephew, John Harrison, is head
of the band with which she travels.
1t is at her request that the congress
is called, because she feels that she
has but a short time to live, and is
anxious to see the selection of sue
cessor made during her lifetime. The
choice of successor lies between the
two grandchildren of the aged queen,
Laurel Harrison, aged II, and Rosy
Dean Harrison, aged 16. Either OF
these would suit "Snake Mary" as a
successor, and she will leave the choice
to the congress. The successful candi-
date will simply bear the title without
assuming the rule of the tribes until
the death of "Snake Mary" The
Harrisons and Coopers are camped
near Flainfield, as they have done for
years, and live an ordinary life, troub-
ling no one. They live by trading
horses and fortune-telling and bring
every year considerable money to
Plainfeld.

PERSPIRATION A HEALTH ESSENTIAL

PERSPIRATI0N A HEALTH ESSENTIAL.
"Persplration is essential to health" !"
writes Edward B. Warman in the Au-
gust Ladies' Home Journal. "a per-
son in good health never suffers from
the heat or the cold unless unduly ex
posed. One may be inconvenienced by
excessive perspiration, but it is con-
dition of health rather to be sought
than to be avoided. Too much of a
good thing, however, is not desirable.
Proper care of the body, proper diet,
proper exercise, with proper bathing,
will produce the normal condition--in
which condition the heat will not op.
press anyone. Let me especially eau.
ton against the too sudden checking
of perspiration. Millions of canals or
tubes from the inner part of the body
open their little mouths at the surface,
and through these channels, as cease
less as the flow of time, fluid con-
tanning the wastes and impurities of
the system is passing outward and is
emptied out of the skin. This fluid
must have exit or we die in few
hours. If it does not have vent at the
surface of the body it must have some
internal escape. Nature abhors shocks
as she does vacuum. Heat distends
the mouth of these ducts and promotes
larger and more rapid flow of the
contained fluid !; on the other hand,
cold contracts them, and the fluid is at
first arrested, then damned up, and
then it rebounds. If these mouths are
gradually closed nature has time to
adapt herself to the circumstances by
opening her channels into the great
internal waterways of the body, and
no harm follows hence the safety and
wisdom of cooling off slowly after any
exertion, and the danger of cooling off
rapidly under the same circumstances.
Encourage perspiration, under proper
conditions and with proper precau-
tions. Always keep the surface of the
body warm and clean, and at the end
of the season you will be mentally,
morally and physically sound"

FATTENING HoGs.-No country on
earth can produce pork as cheaply as
we can. No fault can be found with
the hams and shoulders of American
hogs, and only the absence of lean
streaks prevents our bacon from taking
first place. Under present conditions
we can not afford to produce bacon
such as comes from Denmark and Ire
land, because there is more profit in
producing weight with corn. With all
these advantages of cheap food and
favorable climatic conditions, we can
produce pork very cheaply, but we
should not be content with this. We
should try to produce better pork than
we do without adding to the cost.
Very few farmers would say they do
not know all about raising hogs, but
the truth is, very few really do know
the best way to feed for the best re.
suits in quality, gain in weight and
healthfulness.
Most farmers are inclined to think
the best way to feed lot of hogs is to
put them in lot and keep corn by
them all the time. Corn and corn
alone is enough for hog, they think,
and to feed this in an unlimited quan-
tity requires neither judgment nor
sense. The average farmer does not
read, nor does he bother himself much
with thinking. The man who is above
the average reads and thinks, and he
knows there is much to learn in even
so simple an operation as raising hog.
He knows that corn alone does not
furnish all the elements chat 60 to
make perfect work. The thinking
farmer provides pastures of clover or
blue grass for his pigs and gets them
up to 100 pounds or above with grass,
wheat, bran, skim milk and such nj
trugenous feed as make lean meat and
bone. Then he feeds corn and oats
and bran, and toward the last feeds all
the corn the animals will eat with a
good appetite, and goes into the mar
ket with a finished product that he
may be proud of, which has not cost
him any more than a full corn-fed hog
would have cost. When all farmers
follow this course then will American
pork have come into its own and the
price will rise to its true value.-Ne-
braska Farm Journal.

WOULD YOU LIVE A CENTURY,?

In recent lecture delivered in Bir-
mingham, Sir James Sawyer gives a
few rules to follow if one would live
to be a centenarian. They are not
hard to keep, and, in the interest of
those who do not tire of this worlds
pleasures or pains we subjoin the list
1. Sleep eight hours day.
9. Sleep on the right ride.
8. Open the windows of ones bed
room at night.
4. Put screen in front of the door.
5. Place ones bed away from the
wall.
6. Take bath the temperature of
the body every morning, not a cold
douche.
7. Take exercise before breakfast.
s. Eat little meat and make sure it
sehoroughly cooked.
9. (For adults. Do not drink milk.
10. Eat much grain in order to nour.
ish the cells which destroy the germs
of disease.
II. Avoid intoxicants which destroy
these cells.
12. Take daily exercise in the open
air.
13. Keep no animals in living rooms.
They may have the germs of disease.
IA. Live as much as possible in the
country.
Is. Drink water, avoid humidity and
the neighborhood of sewage pipes.
16. Vary ones occupations.
II. Take from time to time short
holiday.
18. Limit ones ambitions.
10. Restrain ones natural character.
We have no idea that strict follow
ing of these regulations would enable
one to pass the century mark, but the
observer would be better and healthier
by reason of living along these lines.
The rules are we'll filled with common
sense, and there is an absence of fad
ism, which makes them all the more
commendable. Try them on, and
when the 100 years are up give US a
written certificate as to how you are
getting along.-Cincinnati Tribune.
