Travel for Health VS.. Dieting.

A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in
little change in his diet says:
81 was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years and two doctors here in Ke-
nosha that treated me for over year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then / had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then
followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times
month for, four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me to
take a trip across the ocean, which L
did in the year 1899 and came home
about as bad as when / started The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full OF sores. Then l began to study
my own case and learned Of the diet
recommended by the Postum Cereal
Co., so | gave up coffee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using Postum
Food Coffee Gradually | got better and
better until | am well now as | ever
was in my younger days, have no trou-
BILE and eat anything fit to eat.
Sometimes away from home am
persuaded to drink coffee, but | only
take sip of it, for 1t tastes bitter and
dlsagreeable to me, but the longer use
Postum the better / like it and the
better I feel. / could say a great deal
more of my experience with Postum,

BILLY
THOMPSON'S
CHOICE
By EDWIN j. WEBSTER
Copyright, 1904, by Daily story Pub. Col

hDILLY" THOMPSON, formerly
) Will and Mr. Thompson, was
lo0kins gloomily out of the ear window,
apparel ly inteLt on the passing seen
cry. In reality his thoughts were far
away, and they were far from pleasant
thoughts. For Billy was on his way TO
the penitentiary. That Billy was not
wearing handouts was due to a point
of pride with Sheriff Wilson, in whose
custody Billy was.
Amy time when Tom Wilson needs
handouts to take care Of only one pris-
oner, it will be because he is an older
and a weaker man than he is these pres
ent days." the sheriff used to remark
a little grimIy. THE boys know that If
any of them try to make break when
I'm taking them to the pen it will be a
case for the coroner instead of the peni-
tertiary warden"
Sheriff Wilson was not only an I'M
usually strong and active man, but a
dead shot and mighty sudden on the
draw" in the language of his admiring
constituents.
1T is all my own fault" thought
Billy Thompson, gloomily, as the train
sped on it's way. Il had a good chance
of success when left school. | threw
that away. Then, after the first break
came that position on the railroad. Even
after that l had plenty of chances to get
on honestly. / threw them away, too.
Every time had choice offered me /
chose the wrong way. And now I'm on
my way to the pen"
Billy was aroused from his gloomy rev.
erie by little gurgling, gasping noise.

LOCUST PLAGUE IN EGYPT.
Invasion of Insects Very Serious One
Destroy Everything in
Their Path.

There is every probability OF the
plague of locusts which has now de-
scended on Egypt proving very seri-
Gus one, writes the Cairo correspondent
of the London Daily Mail Great anx-
iety is felt for the young cotton and
other crops.
The locusts first arrive in compare
lively small numbers, but they multi
ply very rapidly as soon as they reach
the edge of cultivation. Within ten
days the young insects, though still
wingless, advance in a solid phalanx
sometimes two or three feet deep and
several miles in length
1t is essential that at this stage they
should be destroyed, as it would be i'm
possible to check the ravages of fly
ing locusts.
The method adopted during the last
visitation. that of 1890, was to dig deep
trenches, sometimes miles in length,
between which and the advancing
swarm huge heaps of straw were laid
and fired. Any locusts which succeed
ed in escaping the flames and smoke
fell into the trenches, where they were
destroyed By natives under the super
vision of English instructors.
1t is a providential habit of young
locusts never to turn back or aside
when once started, no matter what OBJ
stacles are put IN their way.
The eyes of the birds that fly by night
are generally almost double the size Of
those of day birds.

CHEAP SUMMER SHADE.

of course can be done and in some cases
may be desirable, but ordinary earth is
the best bottom for anything of this
kind.
The shed is six feet high at the in
closed end and seven feet at the door
end. 1t was made of ordinary boards.
The runners are 2x6's, the cross pieces
2x4's, and the uprights 2x4's. The roof
is ordinary one-foot boards, with bat
tens, and the rear the same. The shed
should be placed so that the rear points
toward the south. This furnishes much
relief to animals during the heat of the
day.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Farmers as business Men

Successful farmers must be business
men. There is no more reason why
they should succeed with careless
methods than should the manufacturer
1t is just as important that the farmer
know how much it costs him to raise a
hog and to care for horse or produce
bushel of corn or oats as it is for the
wagon maker to know what it costs to
manufacture a wagon. When this part
of the business is looked after more
carefully, there will be less foundation
for complaints of improbable seasons,
mortgaged farms and the Improbable
ness of agriculture in general.-Ameri-

In an opinion handed down last

no women, in the case of Charlotte
Karlson, appellant VS.. the Hanson

supreme court holds that where the
wife sells her separate property
without joining her husband in an
instrument in writing conveying
the same, as provided by section
349S, revised statutes, and the pur-
chaser receives, uses and consumes
the property and is thereafter sued
for the purchase price, he is estop-
ped from interposing the defense
that the contract or sale was not
entered into in the manner pointed
out by the statute. The court holds
further that section 549S, revised
statutes, was enacted primarily for
the protection of the wife against
fraud and duress and was NOT in
tended as a shield for the defense of
those who would cheat and swindle
her.
