UTILIZING THE SUNS RAYS.
Cheap Fuel Used by Residents Of
Southern California.

The residents of Southern California
have gone into partnership with the sun.
There the sun is more plentiful than
coal, and so they put the former to
work, utilizing the heat rays for many
purposes, one Of which is known as the
"solar water heater"
By the plan they have adopted they
make the sun heat the water in the
kitchens and bathrooms in the houses
and for other domestic purposes. In
California and other states where the
sun may be depended on the item of
fuel is entirely eliminated, and however
cheap fuel may be, no fuel is cheaper
than the sun.
The domestic arrangement for keep
ing water hot at all hours of the day or
night is effected by inserting in the roof
a solar heater, consisting of number Of
mirrors rejecting the suns rays, SO that
the heat is concentrated upon the water
in metallic troughs, which absorb the
heat rays and soon bring the water to a
nearly boiling temperature.

lis ARRESTED FOR SPLITTING.
Postmaster EnforCes the Rule
Against Splitting In Public
BUILDINGS,

Last week Postmaster James Beard
caused the postofiice building to be re-
papered, and the wood work reprinted
on the interior of the building. The
floors were scrubbed and the room was
put in splendid condition. Complaints
had been made to Postmaster Beard by
the ladies of the town because Of the
tobacco juice which soon made it's APP
pearanco on the floor every morning
after the room had been thoroughly
swept. And this too in spite of the
city ordinance against expecIorating in
public buildings, notice of which was
posted on the walls Of the postofice.
Mr.. Beard concluded to take matters
in his own hands, and after the office
was prepared, posted. signs informing
the tobacco users that they were pro-
hibited from splitting on the posto1ice
floors, under penalties Of being arrested
and fined. Nicholas Uglow was the
first offender, and Mr.. Beard swore out
an information for his arrest Saturday
morning. Mr.. Uglow was arrested by
Sheriff Miller and taken before Mayor
John German, who assessed fine of
five dollars for violating the city ordi-
nance. 1t was pretty costly spit for
Mr.. Uglow, and others will be more
careful. Mr.. Beard will be upheld by
the people in the vigorous measures he
is taking to keep the postoffice in re-
spectacle order. Nerve is one quality
that Mr.. Beard has never lacked, and
he will see that the anti-spit order is
enforced as far as the postoffice is con-
cerned.-Mt. AYR Record.

Trlumphs OF Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections Of veins; an
tiseptic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns, and like injuries before
Inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlin's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. It is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. IL
also allays the pain and soreness. Keep
. bottle of Pain Balm in yony home and
it will save you time and money, not to
mention the Inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale by

Attention
Farmers

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can
work out doors every month
in the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now "eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the rigors
Of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both flesh-forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Florida
produce in abundance the vel
vet bean and cassava, the first q
flesh producer, the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
material known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gem
eral farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck gardening
along our road in the South
than in any other section of
the Union.
If you are interested and
desire further information on
the subject, address

Farmers sometimes make the mistake
of turning cattle on to the pasture too
early in the season. They should be
kept of until the grass gets good start
because the young grass is watery and
containes but little nutriment. Cattle
should not be deprived Of grain all at
once when turned into pasture, because
the sudden change from dry food to
grass is often harmful and causes
'shrinkage. 1t is better to keep up
grain feeding for several days after
turning into pasture, as animals will
then show less shrinkage and their di-
gestive organs will be less liable to dis
turbance.-The Associated Farm Press.
