to you for Peruna. miss Kate Brown.
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by a neglected cold Diseases of
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gsns are all frequently the result of a
neglected cold
Hundr eds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause OF
them is discovered, there will be nc
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine. diarrhoea medi
cine and constipation medicine is of nc
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause The catarrh must be treated
The cause being removed, the derange
ments will disappear
Peruna cures eatarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any Of
the internal organs.

Farm POULTRY.

The vigor of farm poultry must be
kept up in order to have profitable
stock. as weak, inbred stock does not
thrive or lay we'll. There is a mis-
take made in calling for extremely
heavy weights in a breed. Select birds
about the standard weight for the
chosen breed, and get them thick
fieshed and solid. Avoid a knock
kneed or crooked-back bird, and a low
comb is preferable in dressed birds.
The active, alert hen is the layer. Sc
lect eggs from your best layers for
Matching, and use pure breeds by all
means. as they dress more uniformly,
and will give best all-around satisfac-
tion.-Myron A. Gee in Farmers Re-
view.

Importan. POINTS in PouItry care.

Important Points in Poultry Care
Cleanliness is essential to success
with poultry. Young chicks should
not be allowed to eat stale or sour
foods. The drinking vessels or foun-
tains should be watched closely, and
should be always kept full of pure
water. Keep them free from bad odors
by scalding with hot water occasion
ally. AS the fowls approach maturity
food should be given them in such a
manner that they will take exercise.
Plenty of straw or leaves should be
put in their houses, and a little grain
of some kind scattered therein several
times day to keep them scratching.
Be careful not to overfeed or they will
become too fat and will not hay.
Avoid feeding too much corn in the
warm months of the year. During the
winter months it can be fed in the
evening. as it supplies more warmth
than any other food. For morning
feed alternate soft mash with wheat
or oats. Give also an occasional feed
of vegetables either raw or cooked.
They will be beneficial and much rel
ished by the fowls.-J. R. Brabazon.

ield. gives a clever idea for a new
feature" at an evening entertain
ment.
"A Matchmaking contest would be
something new in the way Of an
evenings entertained. Let each Of
the guests be furnished with a piece
Of small rope Of suitable length, and
with illustrations and descriptions OF
the knots TO be made. Simple prizes
could be awarded to those who make
the most knots correctly within a
given time, and BOBBY prize to the
one. or ones-for there would quite
likely be a number-who stumble
into making 'grannies.'
The only qualifications needed
for the granny is total ignorance OF
the art and science OF Matchmaking.
Lay the end OF the two pieces Of rope
together, and-well just knot them.
There you have your granny. Put
pressure on the rope, and one of two
things will happen; either the knot
will slip until the ends are passed
and you are as you were. or else the
knot is drawn together so fearfulIy
tight that It seems as II no power
on earth will possibly unite it.
Matchmaking is a pleasant and
useful hobby. and a liberal education

with their hands. Every one should
learn at least the simplest knots"

Oats for Fowls.

We notice that a contemporary says
that wheat is undoubtedly the best
grain for poultry. We must differ
from that opinion. We believe thu
grain most adapted to the develop
ment Of chicks is oats 1t is indeed
true shat birds have to be accustomed
to eat oats before they will eat them
constantly and in large quantities, but
once accustomed to them they eat
them with great avidity. Naturally
fowls prefer corn to oats. But habit
reVerses this preference. The writer
remembers one case where he had
kept oats from his hens for some
days. They had been accustomed to
that grain for months. When oats
we're again given it was in the form
OF mixture of corn and oats. To
his surprise the hens picked out the
oats in preference to the corn, eating
the latter only after the oats had dis
appeared. One objection raised against
oats is that they sometimes puncture
with their sharp points the tender
membrane in the crops of young birds
and even pass through the skin. The
writer fed oats for years and never ex-
perienced any such mishap with his
poultry. 1t might be possible in case
half-starved birds were fed oats and
then watered. But oats should be
kept before the fowls all the time, and
they should be permitted to pick at
them at their leisure. They never
then eat too many. In addition to the
nutriment in the oats there seems to
be stimulant which the scientists
call avoine. This is thought to be .
valuable part of the oat as a feed.

Former Resident of Audrain County
Drowned himself After Death OF
His Son Near Hardin, Mo.


In reference to the death OF Herman
Kombrink, formerly of Audrain
county, mentioned in the LEDGER a
day or so ago, the Richmond Conserrd-
tor says:
Herman Kombrink, who lived south
Of Hardin, this county, committed
suicide one day last week by drewn-
ing himself in Crooked river, near the
Santa Fe railroad bridge, two and one
half miles from his home.
Mr.. Kombrink, who was about 6S
years of age and who made his home
with his son, disappeared Wednesday
Of last week and a search was at once
instituted for him The search was
continued during Wednesday and
Thursday without results and on
Friday tracks were found leading to
Crooked river. The tracks on The
bank were those OF man and the
river, at that point, was dragged,

brink, before going to the river, secur'
ed large sack, in which be placed be-

neck and waded into the water and
was drowned.
On October 23rd, Henry Kombrink,
son Of the deceased, died at. his home
near Hardin, and relatives and friends

congrs,sional Power Of Incarceration

From the New York Evening Post.
To the Editor Of the Evening Post,
Dear Sir: Commenting, on the 18th
instant, upon Judge Grosscup's opin-
ion that the Trust question may be
controlled by national law Of in
corporation, you credit him with
originality in so far as be asserts that
such law would be Constitutional,
and, continuing, say, The power Of
Incorporation was never in dispute in
the Constitutional Convention.
But the question Of granting the
general power of Incorporation to the
Congress was directly before the Con-
gentiOn. On July 26, when that body
had proceeded so far as to be agreed
upon Constitution, but not in detail,
the proceedings were unanimously re-
ferred to Committee Of Detail 'to
prepare and report the Constitution. "
On August the committee reported,
and, among the other powers granted
TO "the Legislature OF the United
States" was that "TB regulate COM
merce among the several States"
In considering the report OF the
Committee of Detail, each clause Of
the Constitution as reported was dis
cussed, adopted, amended, or rejected.
Mr.. Madison thought the powers OF
the General Legislature too limited,
and proposed among Others to be
granted that 1t be given power "Tc
grant charters Of corporations in cases
where the public good may require
them and the authority Of single
State may be incompetent, MIR.
Pinkney proposed tbe general power
'"ro grant charters of Incorporation. y
When it was proposed 70 add this
power, the clause to regulate COM
merce among the States had been un-
animously agreed 70.
In the reports of the proceedings Of
tine convention the proposed amend.
ments offered by both Madison and
PinkDey seem 10 have been lost sight
Of until the entire instrument had
gotten into the hands OF the Com.
mittee OF Style; and, on receiving the
report OF that committee, Mr.. Madison
again made an effort 10 have added 10
the powers Of Congress that Of grant
ing charters Of corporations. The
motion was 50 modified as to limit the
power TO granting charters for canals,
and, being submitted. was lost by the
vote Of eight States against three for
il.
Mr.. Wilson, Of Pennsylvania, il not
the ablest, always conceded one Of the
ablest lawyers OF the Convention,
while fayoring the grant Of the power
as proposed by Madison, yet thought
that as to mercantile corporations the
power was already included in the
power to regulate commerce tSee
