HEADACHE DISTRESS.
Those That Suffer from Headache and
Can not Get we'll Take Cascarine.

Those That Suffer from Headache and
Can not Get well Take Cascarine.
Suffering men and women, why is
it that you go on day after day with
that horrible feeling in YOUR head?
Why is it that you will persist in TAX
ing headache powders and other in
furious articles, which in time, in
stead of curing you, will ruin your
health and make you an invalid for
life? The cause of your headache and
depression is in your stomach and
bowels. They are out of order and
need repairing. What you need is a
tonic which will stimulate the liver,
improve the appetite, dissolve i'm
purities from the body and purify
your blood. Every man and woman
who has headache should buy bottle
of Cascarine and follow the directions
on the bottle. In a short time they
will notice decided improvement in
their health. They will feel better all
over; more ambitious, more vigorous
and considerably happier. Cascarine
is made from roots, barks, herbs,
plants and berries and is natures true
remedy. 1t is not new thing nor a
wonderful thing, nor do the discover
ers claim anything remarkable for it
IT is simple remedy for those who
suffer fron constipation. bilIiousness,
headache and other similar diseases.
At your druggists, so cents per bottle.

Strength Of a Mules Tail.

Mr.. Howard Saunders in "Across
the Andes and Down the Amazon
says he never understood why the
vaqueros of Central America when
at work lassoing cattle always fas-
tened the end of the lasso round
their horses tail instead of to a
ring in the saddle until he saw an
accident on mountain path.
A team of mules passed his party.
These mules were tied, the head of
one to the tail of that in front, and
so on, and as Mr.. Howard Saunders
passed one of the mules kicked out
viciously, missed its footing and
went over the precipice. There it
hung, scrambling in the vain en-
deavor to get a footing, while the
mules to which it was fastened
stood like rocks on the path above
till the men succeeded in passingea q
lasso round the hanging beast and
drawing it up. The tail was cut to
the bone, but the mule was other
wise unhurt. The incident shows
the remarkable strength of the
equine tail.

Due to DeneutIa.

" =
G. B. Burpee was called to Pine
Island on Wednesday by the sad in
telligence that his brother, S. M. Bur
pee, was dead. It has since been
learned that Mrs M. Burpee had
been taken to Minneapolis for treat
ment for mental disorders, and that
probably in fit of insanity, he had
taken his own life by cutting his
throat with an ordinary pocket knife.
Mr.. Burpee was in prosperous cir
cumstsnces, and no motive other than
insanity can be assigned as the cause
of the deed. For Mr.. G. B. Burpee
in the loss of his brother, and to Mrs
Sawyer in the loss of her son. much
sympathy is expressed.

Football Season Closed.

The football season seems to be
closed SO far as the Morris team is
concerned. Supt Kingsford, OF
Litchfeld, wrote last Friday that
the Morris-Litehfeld game should
be played last Saturday or not at all
but Supt. Buckland refused to allow
the team to play on grounds in the
condition that they were last Satur-
day. The game is therefore, probab-
ly off for this season.
The boys were fattered the first of
this week to receive a challenge from
the Central high school team, of St.
Paul, one of the best amateur teams
in the state. The game had to be de-
ciined, however on account of the
condition of the Morris grounds,
where the st. Paul boys wish to play.

shark Skins and Shark Fins.

In all the equatorial islands of
the north and south Pacific shark
fishing is very profitable industry
to the natives, and every trading
steamer and sailing vessel coming
into the port of Sydney or Auckland
from the islands of the mid Pacific
brings sGme tons of fins, tails and
skins of sharks. The principal mar
kets for the former are Hongkong
and Singapore, but the Chinese
merchants of the Australasian colo
MES will always buy sharks fins
and tails at from six to eleven
pence per pound, the fins bringing
the best price on account of the
larger amount of glutinous matter
they contain, for which they are
highly relished by the richer class of
Chinese as a delicacy. The tails are
also appreciated as an article Of
food in China, and, apart from their
edible qualities, they have a further
value as a base for clear varnishes,
etc.

WHEAT
TO HOGS
WHILE PRICES ARE so LOW
Agricultural Experiment Station
Issues a Bulletin on the Feed2
ing Value of Wheat.

The Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton has issued bulletin advising
farmers that the most profitable way
to dispose OF their wheat at the pre-
sent prices is to feed it to hogs and
stock. The bulletin gives the results
which have been obtained at several
othe, experiment stations as well as
at our own, and summarizes the con-
clusions as follows:-
The results obtained when wheat
was fed at the various experiment
stations show that, as a food fol
growing pigs, it is somewhat pre-
ferable to corn; but that for fattening
pigs there is but little difference be.
tween wheat and corn. The best re-
suits, however, are obtained when
wheat is ground and fed with other
grains. A mixture of equal parts OF
ground wheat and corn gives better
results than either wheat or corn
when fed alone. Experiments show
that ground wheat is ten per cent
more digestible Shan whole wheat,
When wheat is low and it can be pur-
chased for the same price per pound
or less than corn, it will pay to use
wheat in ration. The manure from
wheat fed animals is more valuable
than that from corn fed animals.
AS / food for dairy animals, ground
wheat has been found 10 he fully
equal to either corn or mixture OF
corn and barley, and when fed to fat.
ten steers, ground wheat produced
about the same results in a ration as
ground corn. From the experiments
that have been conducted, it would
appear that the value of wheat, as a
food, depends, to a great extent upon
the way in which it is fed. and the
foods with which it is combined.
When properly used and combined
with other grains, wheat is valuable
animal food, In addition to its being
equal to corn for fattening animals,
and superior in growing animals, it is
also equal to corn in a dairy ration.

Goal. Damn and Dry.

IF load of coal is left out Of
doors, exposed to the weather, say,
for a month, it loses one-third of
its heating quantities. If a ton of
coal is placed on the ground and left
there -and another ton is placed
under shed, the latter loses about
25 per cent of its heating force, the
former about AZ per cent. Hence
it is a great saving of coal to have
it ina dry place, covered over on all
sides. The softer the coal the more
heating power it loses, because the
volatile and valuable constituents
undergo slow combination.

WATER IN THE AIR.
Even at Great Heights There Is Con
siderable Moisture.

siderable moisture.
It is seldom realized, save bv
aeronauts and mountaineers, how
much watery haze the lower air con-
tains. Blue sky itself is but the
ultimate fading out Of haze, and
when whole lower layers Of the at
mosphere are surmounted the blue
above is bluer than before only by
reason of the haze there being more
attenuated. The result of investi-
cations carried out chiefly by high
flying kites goes to show that,
though at great heights the air may
be spoken of as dry, this is but a
relative term. Commonly about
one-half Of the water vapor in the
air is left below by the time the
first mile and half is climbed, but
the actual moisture present varies
with circumstances. Thus up to. a
few thousand feet the air is drier
during winter and at night and
damper during summer and by day
than it is near the ground.
In the light of these facts it be-
comes easy to conceive how in GER
tain conditions of moist weather
and on dark night. the light Of a
large town reflected in the heaven
may be seen even at long distance.
Under the clear skies of other lands
reflection may be seen on the under
surface Of cloud over great ranges.
Thus the cloud heaps over thunder
storms on the American prairies
may sometimes be seen at night on
the horizon at a distance amounting
to some 2005 miles.
Again, it will be easy to grasp
the further fact that haze in the air
is more clearly manifested to the
observer who, whether in q balloon
or on mountain side, has climbed
above it's lower moister levels. Here
the explanation is simply that from
his new point Of view the haze Is
seen against the dark earth while
being itself illuminated by the light
from the sky above. Gentleman
