1t Hid n Luxurfant Suit of Straight
and Very Dark Hair.
The Father of his Country concealed
luxuriant suit of hair beneath his queue
wig. Many now wish the old fashion were
in vogue, to conceal thinned hair or bald
ness. Yet no one need have thin hair nor
be bald, if he cure the dandruff that causes
both, Dandruff cannot be cured by, scour-
ing the scalp, because it is a germ disease,
and the germ has to be killed. Newbro's
Herpicide kills the dandruff gern1-no other
hair preparation will. Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect" There's no cure for
dandruf but to kill the germ.

The first house in Marinette to be
lighted by natural gas, and probably
the first in the state of Wisconsin,
is the home Of A. Gustafson. He
struck gas in his yard at a depth of

reader of this bottle
absolutely

Women suffer untold misery because
the nature of their disease is not al
ways correctly understood; in many
cases when doctoring, they are led to
believe that womb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible
for their ills, when in fact disordered
kidneys are the chief cause of their
distressing troubles.
Nervousness, headache, puffy or
dark circles under the eyes, q dragging
pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing down sensation, pro-
fuse or scanty supply of urine, fire.
quent desire to pass it night or day,
with scalding or burning sensation,-
these are all unmistakab1e signs Of
kidney and bladder trouble.
DIR. Ki1mer'S Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
A trial will convince anyone.
Ii there is any doubt in your mind as
to your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place it in
a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty
four hours. If on examination it is
milky or cloudy, if there is brick
dust settling, or if small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are in need
Of Immediate attention.
When the heart is acting badly, have
you ever thought that it may be due to
kidney trouble, as is often the case?
Other symptoms showing that you
need Swamp-Root are sleeplessness, di.

in Poultry Monthly. Such was my ex-
perience. My pullets flew the fence
a six-foot fence. / then put on two
more feet, and they mounted that. 1
then strung a wire over it all. but over
the wire they went, balancing them
selves neatly. | consulted friend,
who said there were only two things
to do; Either clip their wings or put
up a 100-foot fence. They were too
pretty to be mutilated by clipping, and
/ was not prepared to erect such
fence. Whereupon i set to thinking.
and devised a scheme which worked
beautifully, and my Leghorns now stay
in the yard, and wings have not been
clipped. l put up wire fence TOUR
feet high, and then at an angle OF
about As degrees ! added three feet, in
clined towards the pen. Mistress Hen
stands at about two feet from the base
of the fence, and flies up as straight as
she can, hits her head against the
sloping fence, and comes down dis
couraged She tries this some half
dozen times a day and finally gives
it up Disguised. The hen is rather
stupid animal and is unable to reason;
she never thinks to stand off at dis
lance and fly for the top of the Stop

DELICIOUS NEW FRUIT.
It Is Called Dumbbel'. and Tastes Like
Peach Favored with Pineapple.

The newest product OF scientific gar
dening is the dumbbell fruit. 1t re-
sembles a Siamese twin peach and
tastes like a peach favored with pine
apple. 1t is said to be delicious-far
surprising any known fruit in the del
icacy of it's flavor.
There is a romance connected with
the story of its cultivation. In the
wear 1886 a scientist named Jehreys,
embittered by an unfortunate love at
fair, turned his back on clVlllZaton'
and, with Cingalese servant, MADE
his home on small island LULU
miles south of Ceylon. Here he re-
manned until his death, in 1898, occu-
pying himself with scientific studies
and the cultivation of fruit trees. BY
grating and other methods he pro-
duced several curious varieties. his
most astonishing success being the
dumbbell fruit.
After the death of Mr.. Jeffreys the
native servant took a few samples OF
the new fruit and set sail in trading
vessel for Bombay. The merchants to
whom he showed his specimens at once
formed syndicate and have since
Seen diligently cultivating the planta-
tions.
Several ship loads have been sold In
the seaport cities of Australia and In
aia. and the syndicate is making prep
arations to meet an enormous demand
,ext season In London, where the
lumbbell fruit has appeared this sea-
son in small quantities, it has met
with much favor from those fortunate
enough to obtain il. suburban con

Butter Making In Normandy.

Crossing fourteen or fifteen miles OF
water we land on the northwest coast
of France, in a region long noted for
dairying, especially bu'-er-making.
Here we find the Normandy cattle
large, coarse boned, with heavy, home
ly heads and horns, and nothing to
show the possession of dairy qualities.
Their udders are especially poor. They
appear more of beef than dairy
breed Yet the people make living
with them as dairy animals. In type
they are very much like our Brown
Swiss, although inferior in every re-
spect. You have to pay $50 or 5000
il you want a good COW there. Nor
mandy cattle have thrifty calves. and
this section is noted for its superb
veal. In fact the best veal / ever
tasted was in France. These i~eople
carry on dairying at great disad-
vantage. They have no means of cool
ing milk or determining what they lose
in butter fat The butter is not sailed
and is sold twice a week. Daughters
and wives of dairymen take it to near
est market and in two hours from
$1,000 to $4,000 pounds is sold. AT
these markets are four or five princi-

Negro Guide
Knocked Out
by cal Duck

Abel Washington. negro. who lived
and picked up dollars by pulling skiffs
for duck-hunters, has gone to another
region and probably into another busi-
ness. A teal cured him Of his fond
ness for getting up before daylight and
rowing to q duck-stand. incidentally
the teal proved that while it is not so
last as bullet, it is effective as mis-
sile.
Abel, with sportsman in the stern
seat left the hotel one morning in De-
rember half an hour before daylight.
The lake had been much shot over and
the birds were even then astir. The
teal were coming out of the sedges in
swarms and were seeking other feeding
grounds.
AS is the case with them always
when doing this they We're in a hurry.
Because it was black dark they were
flying low.
Several f1ocks passed over the boat
not more than ten feet above it. but
the whistle of the wings had only the
effect to make the gunner swear under
his breath and adjure Abel to hurry
It was a marked trait of Abel that he
never hurried.
Suddenly he dropped both oars. fel
