GRAIN CHUTE FOR A r

less than half pitch be satisfactory.
Oats will run through such a pitch with
little difficulty. Wheat or rye will fol-
low even a less slant. but with bulky
stuff like ground feed there is ccnsid-
cradle danger of clogging.
The interior of the chute ought not
to be much less than six inches squares;
six by eight would be even better. The
interior should be free from all OBJ
structions. The unprecedented de-
vice just under the bin is quite neces-
sary with oats and ground feed to give
greater Roadway. The cutoff. a, is an
ordinary draw supported by two
cleats on either side. An extension is
also made to the rear board of the
chute so that it projects about one
half inch outward, thus giving chance
for holding a bag if necessary.-C. P.

Rats have been known to attack hu
man beings in many instances. The
assaults always have been made when
the rodents were rendered bold through
force of numbers and hungry through
enforced abstinence. 1t is probable that
it is extremely lucky for mankind that
the old male rat is given to cannibal-
ism. If tid-bits are not forthcoming in
the shape of table leavings which find
their way to the garbage box, the old
daddy rat will make no bones" of
dining off one-half his progeny in the
home nest. This fact helps keep the
rat plague in check. The father rat de-
stroys the young only after the hardest
kind of a fight with his wife, provided
she is at home to protect her family

A POSTMASTER'S DISCOVERY.

Lancaster, N. u, April 21st.--Mr.
John Remers, postmaster of this vii
lage, was taken with Diabetes four
years ago. For two years he doc
tored with local physicians as well as
several specialists from Buffalo, but
got no better. Indeed he wasgradually
growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors med
icine and commenced a treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and is as strong and
well to-day as ever he was.
He attributes his recovery to moth
ing but Dodd's Kidney Pills and says:
"If I could only talk five minutes to
every one who has Diabetes | am sure
I could convince them that they
needn't suffer a moment longer when
Dodd's Kidney Pills are on sale in
every drug store.
81 will cheerfully answer any letters
from sick men or women, as I think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told
of Dodd's Kidney Pills the remedy that
saved my life"

The temperature of the water should
be As degrees, and practically all the
cream will be obtained. Do not mix
the nights and mornings milk If the
best grade of butter is expected.
Change the water in the tank often
enough to prevent it's becoming foul.

for a churning, raise to a tempera-

less-Cured by
Peruna.

MFRS. ANNA B: FLEHARTY, recent
lVl superintendent of the W. {. L. L.
headquarters, at Galesburg. ILL.,,
was for ten years one of the leading
women there. Her husband, when liv-
ing, was first President of the Nebraska
Wesleyan University. at Lincoln, Neb.
In a letter written from 401 Sixty
seventh street, W., Chicago, ILL.,, Mrs.
Fleharty says the following in regard
to Peruna:
Having lived a very active life as
wife and working partner of a busy
minister, my health failed me a few
years ago. | lost my husband about
the same time, and gradually | seemed
to lose health and spirit. My daughter
is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt
great need of an invigorator.
"One of my neighbors advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was immedi-
ateiy secured and a great change took
place in my daughters as well rs In
my own health. Our appefifes i'm
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and resffuf sleep
soon improved us, SO that we seemed
like new women.
81 would not be without Peruna for
ten times its cOsf. "-Mrs. Anna B.
Fleharty.
What used to be called female dis
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. 1t has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases of the pelvic organs T the
cause of most cases of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that a woman entirely free
| from catarrhal affection of these or.
gans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using Pc
runa for these cases and found it so
admirably adapted to their permanent
ure that Peruna has now become the
most famous remedy for female dis
eases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not a palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured
o women of female ailments than
any other living physician. He makes
these cures simply by using and rec,
ommending Peruna.

The little ones have heard so many

One which has found great favor rep

dolls, a small miss of five was provided
by a fond relative with a set of paper

been a much coveted treasure, and at

most pathetic expression, she said:
why Cousin C, these are all

"Let us play they are widow dollies."

Music Wards on Fatigue.

A Philadelphia contractor, who has
recently returned from the Soudan,
tells of an interesting fact connected
with the building by the English of the
new military railroad in that region.
With every gang of 40 or so men are
assigned two harpers and a flute player.
Music is furnished almost continuous
ly, and so long as the musicians play
the workmen-nearly all negroes-do
not seem to feel the fatigue and their
movements are conformed as nearly as
possible to the time of the music. As
a general thing the players get tired
before the workmen do. To a white
man the melody produced by these
cheerers of labor would not be inspir-
ing, for it is peculiarly plaintive. The
Africans, however, find the music a
great inspiration and work with cheer
fitness and dispatch.-Chicago Chron'
icle.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND
C0NFISCATED IN
NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of St. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a quantity
or stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus TAX
ing effective ear to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is a great temptation for
those manufacturers who make SUBJ
stitutes and imitation goods to use it.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis, but the ordinary h~ousekeep-
er, whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important, can
not make a chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for a
pound can, or that some prize-like a
spoon, or glass, or piece of crockery,
or wooden ware-is given with the
powder as an inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking powder
of established name and character,
and as the health authorities continue
their vigorous crusades, the alum
danger will, it is hoped, finally be
driven from our homes.

these sanltarians recommend Alabastine

The Inter Ocean says: "This is a very

chances?'
How much of the alarming spread of
