ST. PETERSBURG, June 9.-Nhile the

to the source of its information, a denial
is made that the Japanese inflicted serious
damage on Port Arthur in the attack

TREAT DAIRY HELP FAIRLY.
Employers Willing to Do the Square
Thing Can Always Get Re-
liable Assistants.

In an address to Missouri dairymen,
Robert P~ethbridge said: Successful
dairying cannot be carried on whore
labor is short, or where the hired help
is lacking. In my travels | find this
TO be a great complaint among dairy
men that they cannot get help, but
am sure it Is mostly their own fault,
for | can name many successful dairy
men who have no difficulty in that line,
because their help is treated in a
proper and business like manner, such
as fair wages, regular hours and lib
eral treatment, He must compare the
dairy help with the city laborer in
wages; they will vary in different
parts Of the country in hours of la
Dor; the city man has his ten hours
daily and pay for overtime, whereas
the country mar as a rule works
longer hours and no pay for overtime.
This is one of the great objections of
the mar working on the farm, for
have known by experience that many
a day | have been at work IA hours
in the field with a team and previous
TO that did the milking and feeding
of ten COWS and four horses, and then
at night have to do the same thing
again, when | ought to have been
studying or taking some recreation 10
improve my mind and body, to render
1t better fit for the duties Of the NOR
row. Liberal treatment will do more
to bring employer and employed to-
gether, than wages. The giving of a
cottage with a garden patch and al
lowing them to keep a COW for the use
of the children in addition to the
weekly wage gives the country em-
ployer the advantage over the city and
more work can be accomplished and
your man can be relied on, which Is
very important, In the hiring of Ia
Dor, there are many good dairy hands
coming from England, Ireland, Ger
many and Scandinavian countries, who
are glad to get a job when they arrive
in New York, and they naturally seek
an employment agency, and those who
wish to hire this class can make ap-
plication, and they will not be disap-
pointed if they are willing to do tho
fair thing.

TIME TO HAVE A LOVER,
The Happiest Affairs Are Those That
Come After a Girl Has
Passed 20.

1t Is rather a difficult matter to say
exactly at what age a girl should have a
lover. Circumstances alter cases, and
m G which might be applicable to
one girl would be unadvisable in tbs
case of another, says American Queen.
One Is fairly safe in saying, however,
that In the great majority of love af-
fairs, the happiest are those which are
never thought about until a girl has
passed her twentieth birthday. BY that
time a girl may be said to have reached
he age of discretion. She has probably
had opportunities Of meeting various
types of men, gained a clear insight into
heir characteristics, and acquired that
knowledge of men and their ways which
prevents her fixing her thoughts and af-
f~ections on the first man who ATTRACTS
her particular attention.
She has got past the schoolgirl age.
when a maiden is apt to vote every mem
Der of the opposite sex charming and
lovable, If able to talk and flirt in a fas-
cinating manner. The sensible girl who
Is we'll past her teens, however, probes
deeper beneath the surface, so to speak,
md does not Judge a man when he is
At his best behavior at a ball or a party.
It is quite possible. Of course, for her to
make a mistake, and bestow her affec-
lions on one who is unworthy of them.
But the girl Of 20 or q makes fewer mis-
takes in estimating a mans character
han sweet 16 or II, and consequently
saves herself much u%nhappiness by
choosing at the right time no lover but

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One OF the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changcablc climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem, and oftenitnP15a,Dle.
sooner or lateri it is the inevitable fate
OF every one to catch cold. Care IN
avoiding exposure and the 5 OF proper
clothing will protect from TIE frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest Of precautions they
will come. This is u settled fact oil
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a
draught, II damp clothes, or it may be
one of u thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
|catarrll wherever located. Thousands
Of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once nthe family
Peruna always stays. No home oan
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.

TALES OF THE THEATER,
Some Of the Funny Things Related
by an Actor of Long Ex-
perience. e.

An old actor, telling some incidents Of
"the road" remarked:
while we were in Cincinnati, a party
of young men from away back some
where, being in the city, became pos
sessed of the idea of going to our show.
They decided to make up a pony purse
and send in one of their number. who
should shortly come out and report
whether or not the show was worth their
time and money. This committee of one
happened to get In between acts, and
while the orchestra vas playing an err
tre-act selection. The committee did not
tarry long, but went out and reported
to the full house that he could not see
anything in thar 'ceptin' a lot of fellers
a fiddlin' befo' a big picture an some
folks a settin' around a chinnin'.'
"At another place | heard a mar say to
another: I'd err liked the show pooty
well eff the main Teller hadn't er stopped
two or three times to boiler at a Teller
down the road, askin' him to light an
look at his saddle, an then tellin' him
to fetch him a newspaper, eff he was
goin' to town.
ut was a nasty, chilly night when we
played at Moline. The theater was on a
back street, surrounded by a flood that
reminded me of southwest Chicago in a
spring thaw. There were but few per-
sons in the auditorium, and heard IL
comedian ask the heavy man what he
supposed those folks were doing there,
or how they happened to come in.
"'Probably came in to get out of the
rain and warm their feet the villain
replied"

Baked Apple Sauce.

Baked apple sauce is a very differ
ent dish from the ordinary stewed
fruit. The Boston Cooking School
Magazine gives a good recipe for the
former. Pare and ore the apples, cut
in quarters, and put them in a deep
crock with a cupful of sugar and half
a cupful of water to two quarts Of
fruit, This is less sugar than stewed
apple sauce requires, but the long cook
ing develops the natural sweetness Of
The fruit. Cover the crock closely and
look for an hour and a half, Or until
the apples are a deep red color, II
hey cook too fast, they will be mushy,
out cooked slowly each piece will be
eft while in a delicious cidery syrup.
Let the apples cool in the crock. Serve
hem with cream and hot biscuit or
AXE for desert. For the filling of pies
his sauce is considered very fine.

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds a Bottle of Carbolic Acid
and Drinks It.

While the mother was unpacking an
old trunk a little is months old baby
got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his stom-
ach was so badly burned it was feared
he would not live for he could not eat
ordinary foods. The mother says in
telling of the case:
1T was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally | took him
into the country and tried new milk
and that was no better for him. His
Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts,
and | am thankful | adopted the food
for he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fleshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is en-
tirely well.
81 took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and | would
have to explain how he came to call for
1t as it was his main food.
"The names Of the physicians who at
tended the baby are DR.. Eddy of this
town and DR.. Geo. Gale of Newport, O.,
and anyone can write to me or to them
and learn what Grape-Nuts food will do
for children and grown-ups too" Mime

AS TO NERVOUS COLLAPSE.
Not Enough Good Physical Exertion
on the Part of Modern Young
Women. A

Commenting on the nervous break
downs so common among well-to-do
women, DR.. j. ii. Mcbride, in the Alien
LIST and Neurologist, points out why they
occur most frequently among the classes
hat apparently have the least to worry
about, and increase apparently as we get
away from the plain living of our an
c%estors. He says:
The girls Of the present day who are
brought up under more comfortable con-
ditions than their grandmothers, have
gained much, no doubt, in the change of
conditions; but they have lost some
hing, in that in many homes there is
less of healthy exercise, less OF that kind
Of work that developed the body and
also developed simple and healthy tastes.
There Is, as a result OF this, poorer phys
cal development, less feeling of respon-
sibility in the home on the part of the
young ladies. and not so great a sense
of duty. When every member Of tho
family had everyday work, specific du-
ties. work to do that had to be done,
work that exercised the body as well as
the moral sense in discharging a duty,
such life, dreary and harsh as it some-
times was, and often barren of most OF
those things that we regard as common
comforts, had at least the great advan-
tage of providing work that furnished
physical exercise, and that was also
done under the sense of obligation.
There is a moral and physical healthful-
less in such a life that goes to the maxi
ing Of strong and simple characters
and that puts purity of blood and vigor
OF constitution into descendants. .
The number Of young women who soon
after marriage break down from the
unexpected strain of new duties is very
large. The mother Of a young woman
who had become a nervous invalid with
in two years after marriage said to me
that there was no apparent cause Tor
her daughters illness, as she had been
shielded from everything from child
hood. 49,. Why. indeed, should any.
anyone be shielded? Was it ever the
case anywhere that a person who had
been shielded grew to be a forceful char
acter or proved a success in presence OF
the swift and onerous demands of life?

of eight to ten per cent. of potash,
seven to eight available phosphoric
acid and four per cent. of ammonia

the crop. The roots are dug the first

winter and early spring sales. The
side roots should be removed and cut
in lengths of five to six inches for
planting; this can be done in the fall
before the roots are buried for winter.
The cuttings can be tied in punches

not lnjure them; they may be planted
as early in spring as the ground eau
