RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
British Roads Have Few Accidents
and American Roads MANY.

The number of persons killed in
train accidents during the last three
months of 1903 was 446, and of injur-
ed 3,17S. Accidents of other kinds.
including those sustained by employees
while at work, and by passengers in
getting on or off the cars, etc. bring
the total NUMBER of casualties up to
II ,485-1, 166 killed and 1879 injured
There was a total of 147 passengers
killed and l. 148 injured, all of whom,
with the exception of fifteen injured.
suffered in collisions or derailments.
The figures are discouraging indeed.
and comparing the record of the three
months in question with that of any
ether previous three months since the
beginning of the bulletins. we find an
increase of about $50 per cent. over
the highest previous figures.
In order to get some basis of com
parison, we must refer to the figures
given by the British Board of Trade.
which exhibit but twenty-five passen-
gers killed during the whole year of
1903. 1t will be remembered that dur
ing the year 1901 no passenger was
killed in collision or derailment on
the railways of Great Britain. and
that in the year 1902 six passengers
only were killed from this cause. IN
the great increase which ;ook place
in 1903, however, almost all of it was
due to collision of unusual sort at
Glasgow. where seventeen passengers
we're killed; and yet, with even such
a tremendous proportionate increase.
the British mortality for one year is
but one-sixth of the mortality in this
country for three months.-Railroad

Feeding Value of Buttermilk.

Prof. w. A Henry of Wisconsin
says.
THE best way to remember the feed
ing value of skimming is to use the
rule laid down by Mr.. H. B. Gurler, De
KALI, Ill, who summed up the sub.
ject in the following sentence: Skim,
milk is worth half as much per hun.
dred pounds for feeding hogs as corn
is worth per bushel. To illustrate: II
corn is worth 40 cents per bushel
then skimmilk is worth 20 cents per
hundred pounds.
Experiments at the Massachusetts
college have shown that buttermilk
when not watered) is of equal feed
ing value with skimmilk From these
statements our correspondent is in po
sition to put a value on buttermilk
Buttermilk is especially valuable for
brood sows and young pigs. Arrange
to feed not more than two pounds, or
three at the outside, of buttermilk for
each pound of cornmeal allowed. II
more than this is fed the full value of
the buttermilk is not secured. This
rule holds also for fattening hogs.

The Preachers Evidence.

Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Diabetes has
so long been looked upon as an incur
able form of Kidney Disease that a
sure cure for it must rank as one of
the most valuable discoveries of the
age. And every day brings forth fresh
evidence that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
cure Diabetes. Important evidence in
their favor is given by Rev. Thos. B.
Norman, the well-known Baptist min
lister here. Mr.. Norman says:
II had all the symptoms of bad
case of Diabetes and received so much
bene fit from the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills that / cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of Diabetes"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
Diabetes, one of the final stages of
Kidney Disease. All the earlier stages
from Backache to Rheumatism are nat
urally much more easily cured by the
same remedy.

Selection of Cocks.

Now is the proper time for securing
new males for the flocks and in this
matter we cannot be too careful. The
male is half of the flock James Dry
den of the Utah experiment station
says:
No poultryman who is in the bust
ness for profit should take the risk Of
introducing a male to his breeding
pens without being assured that he is
from an egg laying strain. Without
knowing anything Of the ancestry, the
male is just as liable to be from a
thirty egg hen as from 230 egg hen,
and such male is liable to wreck the
enterprise and raise the cry that there
is no money in poultry-5ecause the
poultryman has been going it blindly.

deal for the poultry industry along this
line. If every station in the country
would keep several pens of breeding
stock and do nothing else but raise
cockrels from heavy laying hens, or
200 egg hens, if enough come up to
that standard, and sell them with
guaranteed pedigrees to the farmers of
the state at reasonable prices, be-
lieve it would add millions of dollars
to the value of the poultry products

why HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS
Suggestions by DR.. Hartman.-How to
Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anaemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodless for the want of
proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army OF invalds are produced as
direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve centers.
Perfectly diaested food gives these reser-
voirs of life a vitality which creates
strong. steady nerves, and in this man
ner fortihes and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent young
society woman of Memphis. Tenn. in
recent letter from III Alabama street.
writes: To society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the utmost
from lack of rest and irregular meals,
know of nothing which Is of so much
benefit as Peruna. took it few
months ago when felt my strength
giving way, and il soon made itself
manifest in giving me new strength
and health. "---NisS Blanche Grey.

Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
il contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system.
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are n multitude of homes where peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years Such thing could not be posi-
BILE il Peruna contained any drugs of a
narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to inflammations of the

Peruna does this by its peculiar power
over all forms of catarrhal troubles.

A CLOUDBURST
ON WHITEBIRD
There Was a Wild Rush
From Town---No Dam
age Reported.

A special from Grangeville to the
Lewiston Tribune, dated July 3,
says: Word was received here to-
day OF cloudburst on Whitebird
creek yesterday afternoon at 4:3O
O'Clock. The body of water struck
near the Lee Smith ranch and for a
distance wall of four and one-half
feet rushed down the canyon. A
man on horseback made wild ride
for the town of Whitebird where q
celebration was being held and warn
ed the people that wall of water 10
feet high was rushing down the val
ley. The races and sports of the
celebration had just been completed
and the alarm given by the horse
man caused general stampede. The
people rushed from the canyon in
wagons, buggies, on horseback and
on foot but the waters had spent
their force before the town was
reached and no serious damage re-
suited
The most severe electrical storm
that ever visited the Camas prairie
section is reported from Denver. 1t
is estimated that the damage is at
least $1,000 and had not the citizens
been on the alert the damage would
have been much greater. The resi-.
deDce of Reuter-, the Denver merch-
ant, was struck by lightning and set
on fire and the house belonging TO
John Halienum was wrecked Keu-
ter's store was struck twice by light
ming.
