lates his experience thus: IT have been
a hack driver for q number of years
past and this is an occupation in
which, through exposure to weather
and much jumping UP and down from
the vehicle, one is particularly liable to
kidney complaint. I suffered myself
from lame back for long while. and
in my anxiety to get rid of it tried
several things which did not reach the
root Of my trouble. An advertisement
acquainted me with what grand work
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were

While all wheat growers recognize
the necessity for late sowing of wheat
TO avoid, ms far as possible, the raw
ages of the hessiM fly, all do not see
the necessity for early preparation of
the soil. 1t is generally believed that
much of the loss from winter freez-
ing might be avoided by the early
blowing Of the ground for winter
wheat.
Early preparation Of the seed bed
is easier than late blowing; it gives
one chance to get rid of the weeds
more effectively, the seed bed may
have one or more extra borrowings or
rollings and, altogethet, put in much
better condition than yhen the plow-
ing is done late. TlYsn, too, should
the ground be not in lae best condi-
ton at seeding time, thd Storough prep
aration previous will Hunt for II
great deal, enabling one to catch the
ground for the final narrowing and
rolling whenever 1t chances to be right
for such working.
The question of varieties should also
receive more consideration than it does
and nm excellent way is to look up the
best wheat fields in your county, on
similar soil and ascertain what varie-
ties are grown. III addition to this
every wheat grower, large or small,
should have test ground for new
Sorts 1t will pay for its cost in Civ
ing one accurate knowledge of sorts
on their own grounds.

sethcr. Tie game commences by each
choosing the kind of turtle he in
tends to be. One perhaps is a land
tortoise, another snapper, another
mud turtle, and so on. Then they all
sit in row, resting their chins on
their knees, and each holding his left
ankle with his right hand, and his
right ankle with his left hand. This
is very difficult position to keep.
At a given signal the turtle start for
goal short distance away.
1t is the object of the game for the
turtles to waddle to the goal and back
TO the starting point without remov-
ing their hands from their feet. Many
let go before the proper moment, the
others shout 'tdead turtle" and keep
on, leaving their unfortunate COM
pa'nion in the background. The rules
of the game demand that he wait there
until the first successfuhracer reaches
him on his way back, and touches MIN
with his elbow, by which he is sup
posed to instill new life into the poor
dead turtle. The latter Immediately
starts out again, and finishes in the
best style he can. As there are al.
ways several dead turtles he is never
lonely in his effort to succeed. The
winner is, of course. the one VINO re-

Tortoia, West Indies, came forward
with a plan which was approved from
the first and is substantially the CEN
trail structure of the present Capitol.
DIR. Thornton's design can he traced
in the picture of the building in 1875,
on the right hand side of the page, by
removing the cupolas at either end,
lowering the dome and changing the
rectangular portico i'll the middle into
Il circular wing with pillars and steps
surrounding it. The design was agreed
upon in March, 1893. DIR. Thornton was
appointed n Commissioner of the Dis
trict of Columbia. in 1894, and he
quarreled with Hallet over alterations
for year after the cornerstone was
laid on September 1s, 1893.

Is
beauty of the Capitol-a.ready called
a miracle of architecture. The build
ing is far from finished. The dome
lacks neelful support and the central
building-the old capitol-is s,ibordin-
ated to the new wings on either side
1t is now proposed to correct these
faults by erecting an extension to tile
central structure, so that the eastern
front, with its portico and steps, will
be on line with those of the wings.
As for sentimental objections-to such
n change, 1t need merely be stated that
the adopted plan was made more than
n quarter of a century ago. and COM
pletes tile alterations of which the
dome and legislative wings formed
parts.
A History In Pictures.
On this page is pictured the eyolu-
ton of the Capitol. Thus only can the
history of the building he traced and
the proposed alterations given their
true Significance. The structure we
know was not designed, in the usual
meaning Of the term. 1t has been
growing slowly during the last 40
year,. No single mind is here repre-.
sented. The story of the structure re-
sembIes a list of quarrels and competi.
lions in which nearly every President
and certainly every architect ana
builder connected with the work, took
vigorous part. These quarrels have
made tho building what 1t is--a com
posite structure. representing the best
thought and skill Of the American pco-
pie.
A rude sketch shows the ruins of the
Capitol after its destruction by British
soldiers August "a, 1914. Compare
this picture with those above it Of the
Capitol US it is and probably will be,
aud NIL sentimental objections TO the
alterations are silenced.

between the capital city of today and

Burned by the British.
Evil days were to fall upon the Cap.
itoi. During the summer of 1914 the
Atlantic seaboard was threatened by
the Republics enemy, the British.
About the middle Of August some sixty
English ships sailed up the Chasa-
reake. and General Ross landed 5000
British soldiers. defeated the Amer-
ems at Bladensburg, a few miles from
Washington and on August p march
cd into the infant capital to destroy it.
Washington then had about 500
houses, scattered over three miles Of
open country, and bordering on ave.
nues which were merely dirt roads.
The invaders found that the Capitol
consisted of two wings Joined, where
the central pavilion was afterward
erected, by wooden passageway, 145
feet 'lorg, which Congressman called

ton and was very hot in the summer

The timbcrs of THE Oven furnished

Legislative chamber, and rockets plnced

A British officers remark, that 1t was

as the Hall of Representatives. did not
save 1t from destruction. The two
wings of the unfinished Capitol, the
Presidents Palace and the long
bridge across the Potomac, formed
parts of confiagration thnt could be
seen in Baltimore. forty miles distant.
Thus was realized the ruin outlined
in the middle picture. The walls and

fire, and We're replaced. The material
was sandstone. and cont of white
paint concealed the smoke marks. In
this manner the Capitol and Executive
Mansion were changed from dull yell
low TO white buildings. and the latter
earned the name of White House."
The Old Capitol Finished.
During the next thirteen years the
old Capitol was finished. President
Madison was authorized by Congress
in 1915 to borrow $4,000 for the re-
building. The legislative wings were
reconstructed and occupied III 1910.
