The Worst Form

Multitudes are singing the praise OF
Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digesting what
they eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by transforming their
blood to the kind of pure, rich, red
blood that makes you feel good all
over. Mrs. Cranfll of Troy, |. T.,
writes: "For number of years l was
troubled with indigestion and dyspep-
STA, which grew into the worst form.
Finally l was induced to use Kodol,
and after using four bottles [ am en-
tirely cured. heartily recommend
Kodol to all sufferers from indigestion
and dyspepsia" Take a dose after
meals, it digests what you eat.

FOrestrvsTaught in the Colleges.

Forestry is gradually assuming a
prominent position alongside of the
older lines of professional work. Until
recently but little attention was paid
in the schools and colleges of America
to this important subject, but with a
better appreciation of the possibilities
and almost certain destructive results
of careless ard wanton numbering
there has arisen a demand for proper
instruction. The latest canvass shows
that at the present time forty-seven
institutions of learning offer courses
in forestry.

MISSION OF SOCIAL AGENT"
Woman Employed in Solving La
Dor and Capital Problem.

With a view of solving the serious
problem of the relations Of capital and
labor, says the Chicago Tribune, the
Mccormick Harvesting Machine COM
pany is experimenting with what is
known as 'social agent"
Miss Gertrude Beeks, young wo-
man of extended experience in socio-
logical work, has been employed solely
to look after the welfare of the army
of employees in the harvester works.
Their comfort during working hours,
their care in sickness and their pleas
ures all come under her attention.
Suggestions which she makes to the
officials of the company are taken up
for consideration and in a large num-
Der of cases adopted.
The success of Miss Beeks' work is
said to be shown best by the freedom
from labor disturbances which the big
harvester plant has enjoyed since she
entered on her novel duties. The Nc
Cormick shops are not what is known
as 'union shops" although union men
are employed without discrimination.
Long and bitter strikes have taken
place there in the past, but at present,
it is said, the company is more popular
with it's employees than ever before.
Miss Beeks went into her work
equipped with the experience of
number of years spent in sociological
work, having been connected with the
Civic federation for ten years. Her
first efforts were among the 400 girls
employed in the binding Irvine depart
ment. She inspected the mill during
the first week of her engagement and
found many things which her feminine
insight told her should be corrected.
Owing to the heavy dust about the
machines the girls are compelled to
change their clothing before going to
work and wear a close fitting cap
which entirely hides the hair Their
dressing room had a single diminutive
mirror for the use of the entire force.
Miss Beeks saw that the room was
we'll supplied with looking glasses.
Then she organized a number of the
girls in the Sisal club, named after the
material of which binding Irvine is
made, and has made the club center
of amusement. When a girl is i'll, Miss
Beeks visits her and sees that she is
given good care and food. If means
are lacking to pay a physician, DR..
Fiske, the company doctor, is called.
From the Irvine girls the work has
been extended all over the place. The
men are given to understand that Miss
Beeks has their welfare at heart, and
she makes many visits to their fam
lilies. The medical service is extended
to them when they are sick and also to
their families when the wages of the
husband and father are too small to
meet all requirements.

Now Plan for Peters Pence,

Finding that the international COLI
tributions of Peters pence have sunk
to a comparatively insignificant vol
ume owing to the expense and fatigue
of pilgrimages to Rome, the vatican
has adopted a new method of raising
revenue. says the Rome correspondent
of the Chicago Daily News. The sys-
tenn has been successfully inaugurated
in Mexico, where the papal representa-
tive is empowered to confer certain
spiritual advantages, those receiving
these advantages contributing Peters
pence at their places of residence.

Coal in New York State.

Coal has been discovered in the Sha-
wangunk mountains, near Wurtsboro,
Sullivan county, N. Y, about sixteen
miles northwest of Middletown, N. Y.
The discoveries are two brothers named
Greene, who were miners in Pennsylva-
MIA and who on account of the coal
strike went to Wurtsboro and found
employment as woodchoppers. They
noticed pieces of rock that contained
sulphur and looked very much like
coal. They found just under the sur
face a vein of coal eighteen inches
wide, which became wider as they dug.
The coal is anthracite, but it is not so
aard as that found in Pennsylvania.

The man that buys a cheap SOW fro

The Farm Scales.

The value of a good farm scale to The
farmer can scarcely be over-estimatCd.
If he is but a small farmer and sells
most of his products at a home mar
ket it is certainly important that he
should know when he is giving enough
and not too much. If he sells 70 city
markets they will be apt to let him
know If his goods are Of short weight,
but may not be as communicative If
they are getting n few pounds over
weight In buying goods ii is many
times an advantage to know If one is
getting all the weight paid for. In
feeding any stock 1t is well TO weigh
an average ration, particularly Of the
rough fodder. TO know about how much
is being given. This may not be neces-
