Catarrh of the Stomach

When the stomach IS overloaded;
when food Is taken into 1t that fails
to digest, 1t decays and inhames the
mucous membrane, exposes the
nerves and causes the glands to
secrete mucin, instead of natural
Juices of digestion. This Is called
catarrh of the stomach. For years
I suffered with catarrh of the stom-
ach, caused by indigestion. Doc
tors and medicine failed me until 1

Our Eccentric Phrases.

Why do we always talk Of putting on
a coat and vest? Who puts on a coat
before n vest? We also say putting on
shoes and stockings? Who puts on shoes
before the stockings? We also put up
signs telling people to wipe their feet
when we mean their boots or shoes.
And father tells boy he will warm
his Jacket when he means to warm his
pantaloons. We are little eccentric
in our phrases at times.

A curious feature of the voting, according to
Professor Bdrnunds is that the boys vote on
party lines. The Speaker has taken the trouble to
canvass the political faith of the members OF the
House, and studying the voting lists at various
times has proved that the boys ignore their po-
litical beliefs when approving disapproving a
measure. and vote entirely in accordance with
their views the usefulness otherwise OF the

Atlantic City, N J.. April p (SpeciaD-The pre-
diction that there would be little intermis-
sion between the Easter and regular summer sea
on here is being verified more fully than was
really expected The crowds driven from the shore
by the wretched weather of Easter week have re-
turned with a rush, and the boardwalk to-day IS
almost as crowded two weeks ago. All OF the
leading beach front hotels practically filled. and
the reservations indicate that this condition will
continue until the formal opening of the summer
season in June. During the early and latter part
OF the week all trains from New-YOrk and Phila-
deIphia were run in sections, and each train in
cludes solid section of parlor cars. This has
led to considerable comment the part OF rail-
road men. who assert that more parlor cars are
In service between Atlantic City. New-YOrk and
Philadelphia than between any other two three
points in the world. Except on occasions OF spe-
cal interest, only two parlor cars were at
tached to each express train until this season.

Farmers Can Cooperate.
New York Independent.

FiftyLfarmers tnear the town of Sol
omon, in Central Kansas, embracing
men Of all political parties, last sum-
nier formed cooperative grain-buying
C mpany. Their number included 80
per cent of the wheat raisers of that
elton, some producing as much as
10000 bushels and most of them hav-
ing at least 5000 bushels rs the season s
yield. Their Investigations showed
that the local BUYERS were paying IA
cents bushel less than the Kansas
City market, while cents margin
would meet the expenses. Their conf
pany had but 81, 500 capital each men,
Der had hut one vote; the officers elect
ed included banker, former men,
Der of the legislature, and, as manager,
a practical grain buyer and miller.
They bought a small elevator, instruct
ed the manager to pay within cents
OF the market, this margin meeting the
transportation charges, and began busi-
ness. As was to be expected, the rival
buyers sought to take away the busi-
ness by paying more than the farmers
company, and did so for several weeks.
Here was where the farmers met the
situation. Under their agreement,
whenever more was paid elsewhere the
members were instructed to install the
market, but for every bushel sold thus
one cent was paid to the cooperative
company. As result, the farmers
elevator stood still but the treasury was
kept full and the members gained six
to seven cents bushel on their wheat.
One day railroad blockaded their ele-
vator with coal cars. They made no
complaint but transferred their ship
ments to another road. The cars were
soon moved, and since then plenty of
transportation has been furnished. AS
the rival buyers ceased high figures the
elevator began business and during the
summer and early fall has purchased
so per cent of the wheat marketed at
that point. The profits have been
enough to pay dividends amounting to
about so per cent on the original in
vestment of the members. The success
of the plan has resulted in the organ
izatiOn of many other similar COM
panies.
The plan of these farmers is purely
individualistic and sane 1t is nothing
more than cooperative bargaining, and
differs from the usual cooperative effort
of farmers in that it is managed by ex-
perienced business men. The same
collective impulse that has been the
basis of manufacturing combinations or
trusts" is here applied to the farmers
affairs and furnishes an example of
what can be accomplished when there
is at the bottom, not politics or re-
venge, but business.

Asiatic Lady Rng.
lacksonville Sentinel.

There appears to be a reasonable like
lihood the Asiatic lady-bug beetles, sup
piled by Professor Cordley Of the state
agricultural college, by the department
of agriculture and placed by him in an
old orchard in Mr.. Britt's pasture, are
going to survive their transfer to their
new home in Oregon. That these Asiat-
ic lady-bugs feed exclusively upon the
San Jose scale has been conclnsively
proven by the agricultural department
entomologists and it has been also proven
that the native lady-bugs, of which there
are more than 20 varieties in the United
States, feed very little on this most des-
tructive of all OF the scale. AS these i'm
ported beetles come from Northern Chi
ma, where the climate is like that of the
Dakotas, it is quite certain that they can
stand the dry and comparatively warm
winters of Southern Oregon, and as they
increase more than hundred fold each
season it will be but few years until
they will be in such numbers in the
Rogue river valley that they will be able
to eradicate the San Jose scale from all
the orchards in this section. II they sue
ceed in that work it will bring saving
of thousands of dollars each year to the
orchardists of Southern Oregon, and re-
move one of the worst pests known in
this section, and which makes fruit
growing to the person having but few
trees, and who cannot afford to spray,
an impossibility. The outcome of this
experiment is watched with interest by
scientific men as we'll as orchardists, for,
its success will be another proof OF the
theory of entomologists of the agricultu-
raj colleges that the way to fight insect
pests now so destructive to many farm
crops, is to employ other insects that
are their natural enemies, to kill them
off
