out healthy perspiration. The trou-
BILE with the vapor baths is that they
produce pcrspiration without afford
ing the participant any exercise. The
luxurious steaming does not bring out
the healthy glow that handball gives
to the skin. You have to think quickly
and act quickly in handball, and no
one can tell me that the sport does not
better man. Then think of the tonic
to the system in the healthy rundown
and shower bath that you get after
say three hard games each day."

IMPROVED STANCHION.
Its Designer Thinks 1t Is More Scrv-

My plan of making COW stanch-
tration, is, l think, simpler than any
that has been presented ia your read
ers. The bottom piece. a, has a by I
mortiscd SO that it will fit the bottom
of the stanchion post, b. These posts
are tapering toward the top, as they
look better and are just as storing.
The top piece of the stanchion is made
of two 2x4's between which the tops of
the uprights are placed. Let the fixed
stanchion extend through and beyond

Cows with POmpndOur Tuilx,

The COWS tail doesn't bother a GER
tain Holstein dairyman while milking.
Stepping in his stables, I noticed that
just out of reach of my hat, about seven
feet from the floor, above the cows
hips. a No. 0 wire, drawn tight, ran
the whole length of the stable. On
this. in the rear of each STALL was a
small ring or harness clasp. from
which hung stout cord attached at
its lower end to the cows tail at about
the point where the brush or long hair
begins. This cord was long enough to
allow the animal to switch with com
fort. The device answers the purpose,
but the sight of stable full of cows
with pompadour tails is sure to pro.
woke smile.-M. G. Kains, in Farm
and Home.

Hon. H. \. Hull of New London
Conn, makes a strong point OF law
against the conStitutionality Of license.
He claims that government has no
right TO discriminate against any le-
gitn}se business by imposing taxes
upon t for more than its Just share Cf
the common expenses of the govern
mcnt. Pharmacists. physicians and law
ycrs are all examined and pay fee
which covers the cost Of such eNamina-
tiou and certificate of their fitness TO
practice in their several professions.
Liquor sellers can be legitimately eX-
amined Is to their fitness 10 conduct
the business The hazards and costs
to the state of business can be csti-
mated as is done in the case of dog
kp"ping, and the license fee can be
made 10 cover cost of examination Of
dealers and damages of the business,
but no more. And. then. as in the case
of dogs killing sheep and fowls the
injured parties can recover the amount
OF the loss so in case of damage from
liquor selling the aggrieVel parties Can
rightly recover from the state the sum
Of their loss.
Place this trade on its proper basis.
Make it pay only its just share of eX-
pruSes, and the voters. when they are
no longer bribtd with the idea of re-
duction of their taxes by the large
amount of liquor license money, will
suppress the saloon as Il nuisance and
disgrace. The present license fee
bribcs the common voter to tolerate Il
trade which will carry an uncon>titu-
'tionul burden of taxation and relieve
his own just share.

THE WIDTH OF TIRES.
1t II Regulated By Law In All the
Countries Of Europe That
Have Good Roads.

Prof II. F. King, physicist of the Wis
consin agricultural station, in the bull
letin prepared by him on the construc-
ton and maintenance of country roads,
says concerning wide tires:
When we come to have a system Of
good roads and the means for main.
tanning them it will be necessary to
have ordinances regulating the width
OF tire and diameter of wheel which
may be used on the roads when carry
ing the specified loads. In Europe,
where better roads are found and bet
ter system for maintenance exists.
there are ordinances which fix the
width of tire to be used with given
loads. In Bavaria the regulations are
as follows:
Two-wheel carts with two horses,
4.133 inch tires.
Two-wheel carts with four horses.
$50 inch tires.
Four-wheel carts with two horses,
9.596 inch tires.
Four-wheel carts with 1--WE to eight
horses, 6.1S0 inch tires.
Carts with more than four and war-
ons with more than eight horses are
not allowed to use the roads without
special permit from the authorities.
Other countries of the old world have
found similar ordinances necessary
and it is clearly rational and just that
such matters should be regulated, for
otherwise one man may easily put in
jeopardy the interests of q whole COM
munity.

THE ONE MEDICINE

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which afflict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure yuu.
