BUILDING AN ICE HOUSE.
Directions in Detail for Putting VI
n Splendid Structure for Orr
binary Farm Use.

From my experience in building ice
houses there are two or three weak
points in the general construction of
this class of buildings. The first is in
making poor foundation, thus secur-
ing lack of drainage. The second is
the roof, on which the sun generates
such intense heat that the inside of
the house is. more like an oven than
place for keeping ice. Some time ago
l desired to build house that would
hold over 40 tons of ice, and it was
built on the follow plan. | give you
herewith only the general directions,
for those who are differently located
may want to change the plans some

ABOUT THE CORN CRIB.
Those Who Follow the Suggestion
Here Outlined Will Thereby
Save Much Annoyance.

Every corn crib should have some
means by which corn may be put in
without having to pitch over the top
from the first, and by which it can be
easily removed at the bottom. The
illustration represents good method
of doing this. Between two of the
uprights which are several feet apart,
the boards are sawed out with bev-
eled ends before mailing on. The
boards are not only beyeled but are
cut on an angle crosswise, so that in
the section of the board cut out the
longest edge is above. They are so
beveled that the longest side comes

THE TEST OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara j. Sherbourne, Profess
sional Nurse of 257 Cumberland. ST..
Portland, Maine, says:-
81 heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be more
than surprised. My back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who dag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was cpl
demic, 1 was worn out with constant
nursing, and when L contracted it
myself it left me in very serious
condition. could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys were
too active or the secretions were too
copious, and knew what was wrong,
but how to right it was a mystery.
1t seems odd for a professional
nurse, who has had great deal of
experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to Ell. II. Hay & Sons drug store for
box. But I did, however; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
! did l would have been 10th to be-
lieve it. You can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me, and l will be
only too glad to tell them personal
ly. AS long as I live I will be firm
advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills."
Cure Confirmed Years Later.
"Lapse of time has strengthened
my good opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills, first expressed in the spring
of 1896. I said then that had any
body told me that it was possible
to get relief as quickly as 1 did I
would have been 10th to believe it.
Years have passed and my continued
freedom from kidney complaint has
strengthened my opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills and given me a much
higher appreciation of their merits"
