4 cLERGYMAN's DISCOVERY

Fredericksburg, Ind, Dec. 2.-Ac-
cording to the positive declaration OF
Rev. E. p. Stevens, of this place, that
gentleman has found a remedy for all
diseases of the Kidneys and urinary
organs. For years he suffered severe
ly with these complaints, inconti-
nence of the urine, making life bur-
den to him, but he never ceased ex-
perimenting in the hope that some
day he would discover a remedy.
After many failures he has at last
succeeded and is to-day perfectly
cured and a well man, and explains
that his recovery is due to the use of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This remedy has
been successfully applied to many
cases of Lame Back, rheumatism,
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and other
Kidney Diseases, and there seems to
be no case of the kind that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will not cure. This is the
only remedy that has ever cured
Bright's Disease.

HERE AND THERE.

Deep blowing and thorough prep
aration by disking and rolling has
often increased the yield of both oats
and wheat by 100 per cent. Then
why not farm that way every year?
in Connecticut the farming land
is high-priced; nevertheless, three
fourths of it is devoted to hay and
pasture grasses. This is merely, but
truly, an indication of the value OF
grass in farm economy
Don't keep too many fowls to-

advice is highly right. 1t is unooubt-

number?
After oats are harvested, cotton,
corn, German millet, sweet potatoes
and second crop Irish potatoes may
be planted with fair assurance of sue
cess. Why should land be required to
produce but one crop, when two may
be secured?
News comes from Rome, Ca, that
there will be at least 100000 new

in price, owing to the enormous de-

running short.
1t is gratifying to know that ru-

This marks the beginning of new
era in farm life. Rural telephones are
also penetrating the country districts

Public Protected,

Hon. Judge Wing of the Federal Court
of Cleveland has issued permanent injunc-
ton with costs and damages enjoining q
lawyer named Corey from the manufacture
and sale of an imitation of Cascarets. Corey
initiated the boxes, the shape of the tablet
and used similar sounding name. ANY
dealer who will offer substitute or say
that something "is just as good" when Cas-
carets are called for, does it for the purpose
of making few cents extra profit, which
must always be at the expense of the Gus
toners health.
Cascarets have been advertised freely in
our columns and as the result Of making
them known, Cascarets to-day have the
largest sale Of any bowel medicine in the
world. They are always packed in metal
boxes with the long tail "C'' on the cover
and each tablet stamped C. C. C. They are
never sold in bulk or from jars. Readers
are warned against limitations or substitutes
of this merftorious medicine, and if at any
time they have been offered substitute
Or an offer to sell something "just as good

Thrown from His Cab ant


The following is most interesting and, in
one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. j. Pope, A Ferrar Read, Streatham,
said:
Eyes, poor chap. he is gone, dead-horse
bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was
driving and killed-poor chap, and good
sort, too, mate. 1t was him, you see, who
gave me the half-bottle of St. Jacobs Oil
that made new man of me. Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great friends:
Some gentleman had given him a bottle Of
st. Jacobs Oil which had done him lot
of good; he only used half the bottle, and
remembering that had been martyr to
rheumatism and sciatica for years, that
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors, and all without benefit, / became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. Well" said Pope. you
may not believe me, for it is a miracle, but
before had used the contents of the half
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow
man gave me, was well man. There it is,
you see, after years of pain, after using REM
edies, oils, embrocations, horse liniments,
and spent money on doctors without get.
ting any better, ] was completely cured in
few days. bought another bottle, think.
ing the pain might come back, but it did
not, so / gave the bottle away to friend
who had a lame back. l can't speak too
highly of this wonderful pain-killer."

BURIAL OF SOLDIERS ABROAD.
Sanitary Methods Adopted to Insure
Preservation for Subsequent
Removal.

According to Col. w. S. Patten, dep
atty quartermaster general, a much
needed reform has been inaugurated
in respect to the burial of soldiers
dying abroad. Upon the recommends
ton of the quartermaster's depart
ment instructions have been issued
placing in effect in all military depart
ments without the limits of the United
States uniform sanitary methods of
burying soldiers remains. This action
will greatly facilitate their subsequent
disinterment and shipment to this
country, minimize the danger of infec-
ton and surround the work with less
offensive conditions. During the past
fiscal year 1925 remains of officers and
enlisted men of the army and navy and
marine corps and civilian employees
were brought home from the Philip
pines, the West Indies, Hawaii and
Guam and given honorable burial in
the United States.
''As might be expected" says Col.
Patten, "the department has suffered
some criticism from relatives and
friends of officers and soldiers at delay
in shipment of remains; due to fail
ure to fully understand existing con.
ditions. The officers of this depart
ment, however, cognizant of the sa-
cred duty devolving upon them, have
shown all possible consideration for
the bereaved families and extended
every available facility for securing
the return of remains with the utmost
dispatch. In many cases this Office has
been the recipient of expressions of
deep gratitude and commentator for
the satisfactory manner in which these
duties were performed, indicating that
the efforts put forth by the depart
ment, as well as the exceptional liber-
atty of the United States government
in this respect are in the end fully ap
preciated"

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

For the navy yard at Charlestown,

Ants have been burrowing under
the brick pavements of Council Bluffs,
Ia, and removing the sand. One
street, for a distance of several
blocks, has thus been rendered unfit

The rapid development and increas-
ing prosperity of the south is now
shown in many ways, but perhaps in
none more clearly than in its lumber
trade. In 1880 Gust 81 years ago) the
output of the southern mills was only
valued at $3s,116,0OO. BY 1890 it had
advanced to Sos, s75,s19. Since then
it has steadily increased, and this
year the production, including mate
rial used for crossties, fuel and fenc-
ing, is estimated between 1925 ZOO, 900
and $3.50, ZOO, 900.

In order to induce a luxuriant
growth of nutritious and tender
grass, a fertilizer containing eight
per cent. phosphoric acid and eight
per cent. potash, at the rate of 500
pounds per acre, should be annually
added.
1t requires good soil and as much
care and preparation to make good,
permanent pasture as for any other
crop, and when once well done, is car
lily becomes the most valuable, as well
as the most profitable portion of the
farm. The same is equally true of
permanent meadow. Well seeded and
literally and judiciously fed, his hay
costs him but little except for the
gathering. 1t is just as simple mat
ter, just as easy, much more satisfac-
tory, and far more profitable, to
gather from three to six tons of good
dry hay from each and every acre
devoted to grass for hay, than it is to
get one or two tons annually from
the same amount of ground. 1t is
mainly question of seeding the land
properly at first, and feeding the
crop literally afterwards.
Bare patches in either pasture or
meadow may be reclothed, yet shall

then harrow or roll, or both. Do
this in the early spring.
Where land is deficient in nitrogen,
and land and grass poor alike, COM
plete fertilizer is necessary. The fol-
lowing fertilizer may be safely relied
on: 90 to $50 pounds of nitrate Of
soda, $50 to 500 pounds acid phos-
plate and 80 to 160 pounds muriate
of potash. On very poor soil, the
minimum application would possibly
be found sufficient; but where the
land is moderately good, the maxi
mum application would undoubtedly
be the best, or the first formula men,

Beneats Of Improved Machinery.

The logical result of using inn
proved farm machinery is not only
to enable the farmer to grow and
harvest larger crops, and consequent
ly make greater profits, but to enable
him in addition to have more time
for rest, recreation and self-improve-
ment. Slaves have a hard time in this
world, because their time is not their
own. The farmer who, in this day
of advancement, uses old implements
and ancient methods, is veritable
slave whose TIME Is all demanded by
the severest of taskmasters, ''conserv-
atism." Labor is not degrading I'M
less it is forced and continuous, and
such labor is no longer required of q
