The admirable trade arrangements of
The organization enable it's members
to save other thousands of dollars an
nually.
While the grange can very properly
be used to promote and advance the
home and family interests along every
avenue Of need, yet the browning value
OF the grange to it's membership is in
increasing confidence in their own abil-
aty to do things and to get results.
Farmers are too apt to take somebody
else's offer as the best that can be
realized. In Pennsylvania the oranges
are learning self reliance. When dis
satisfied with the insurance rates Of
Tered by the existing companies, they
went after something better and estab-
.d1Shed their own grange companies.
When dissatisfied with excessive ex-
actions by middlemen, they establish
ed a business system of their own. Pa
irons are becoming more and more con-
:Bcious of their mental development and
OF the possibilities as a united body.
They purpose using this agency to fur
ther educate and elevate the American
farmer.
The accompanying portraits of Mr..
and Mrs. Hill will especially interest
members of the order in the keystone
State. Mrs. Hill has been worthy
dora of the Pennsylvania state grange
and is now lady assistant steward Of
the national grange.
The Grange and the Country Press.
The New York state grange organ
lied the first grange news correspond
ence bureau in the United States. The
press correspondent presented the adj
vantages Of such correspondence at the
Hast meeting Of the national grange,
since which time Michigan, Pennsylva-
mia and far away California have or
gained along similar lines to furnish
grange news items for the weeklies
and interior dailies of their respective
states. In New York state 400 papers
are using the monthly news bulletins
and in Pennsylvania about $50. This
ohOws that there is demand for news
about the oranges. and what is true in
respect to the press of the states above
named must be equally true regarding
the newspapers of other states where
numerous oranges exist, and the vari-
%ous state grange organiza tons will do
well to see that the country newspa-
3pers are supplied systemai cally with
ouch news.

Odd Denth Of a Bird.

A curious instance Of bird death Is
recorded by w. e. d. Scott in his
"Story of a Bird Lover" He tells a
story of a kingfisher who was shot,
pursued his flight. apparently unhurt,
for 200 feet and then dropped dead.
Still, when the body was examined
there was no mark of w-arnd upon It,
which gave rise to the possibility that
wild bird could be frightened to
death. Il have seen the same thing
happen many times since" continues
the story. Il know now the reason for
this \ single shot striking bird in
flight, penetrating the thin side Of his
body and entering his lungs, makes
very small hole, and no external hemor-
rhage ensues. There is little or no
shock to the bird. fancy he hardly
feels pain, but presently the internal
hemorrhage from the great blood yes
sells that have been severed makes him
suddenly unconscious, and in moment
he is dead. The time. however, between
the penetrating of the shot and the in
ternal hemorrhage is sufficient to al
low the animal to travel a very consid-
cradle distance seemingly uninjured."

The Blow on the Jaw.

A man struck with any degree of
force upon the mental area Of the jaw,
although he may be in perfect physical
condition, instantly collapses and falls
to the ground. The attitude assumed
in recovery, which may be instantane
Gus or delayed some minutes, Is most
characteristic. He squirms about,
raises hts head and rolls his eyes In an
attempt TO locate himself. he tries to
get on his side and elbow; he endeav-
ors to rise upon his hands and knees.
II he regains hts feet he staggers like a
drunken man, and should he proceed to
reopen hostilities he Is usually prompt
~ put OUT by his adversary. The
hlow Is practically never fatal; the
hearts action is never unduly acceler-
atat; the pulse and respiration are nor
NAL; the pupils are normal; there is no
headache, DO sweats, no cold extremi-
ties, no pallor-none of the ordinary
signs Of shock or concussion.-Medica

eome Odd Ears.

In human beings the two ears fire.
Qnenty do not match, though. as both
cannot be properly seen at the same
time, this defect usually escapes our
notice. The same thing Is true to some
extent of monkeys and quadrupeds,
and owls have one ear directed up
ward and the other downward, which
enables them to hear both above and
below as they fly.
Taking the word "eur" in a broader
possess two kinds Of these organs. A
fish, for example, has pair of ears
imbedded in its head, and also pc
cuiiar streaiS-the lateral line-rUnning
down each side of The body, which
appears TO perform some OF the func-
lions of bearing, us it Is concerned
with the detection of movements IN the
surrounding water.
The two feeders which project from
the head of an insect are almost GER
tliIIy auditory organs, and when these
are supplemented by ears of another
kind we can say thar tho ears are not
all alike.
Grasshoppers and locnsts have extra
ears in their legs, and the common
house fly has pair of little club shaped
projections behind the wings (bal
ancersl which probably help it to hear.

Hazel Salve is the only Witch Hazel
Salve made that contains the pure I'm.

Dieting Invites Disease.

To cure Dyspepsia or indigestion it is
no longer necessary to live on milk
and toast. Starvation produces such
weakness that the whole system be-
comes an easy prey to disease. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach
and digestive organs to digest and as
simulate all of the wholesome food
that one cares to eat, and is a never
failing cure for indigestion, Dyspep-
STA and all stomach troubles. Kodol
digests what you eat-makes the
stomach sweet. Sold by Nick Doffing
& Co., Extra, Iowa; F. 81. Franklin &
Co., Brayton, Iowa.
