BrAia Food Nonsense.

Another ridicuous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..

LoRENA SUNK.
Went Down Friday at Merriman.
Damage Trifling.

The Pittsburg and GAINESVILLE
packet Lorena sunk Friday at
Merriman's rifle, a few miles this
side of Pittsburg. The stage was
low and the damage was small.
The Lorena was on her way to
Pittsburg. At Merriman. a point
which has been made dangerous
to river craft by work that the
government has done there, the
packet swung against a rock IN
the bed of the river and a large
hole was made in her hull. The
Greenland, coming upon the i'll
fated steamer, Captain Gordon
Green ordered his boat stopped,
and went to the aid of the sunken
packet. Syphon pumps were put
at work and in a short time the
leak was patched up.
The Lorena was placed on the
Pittsburg docks on the Mononga-
hela river, where the damage will
be repaired. The Lorena will not
lose more than one trip. The dam
age is nominal.
On account of the delay the
Greenland did not arrive here I'M
til yesterday afternoon.

Late-Hatched Chickens.

1t is not usually profitable to carry
the late-hatched chicks into winter
quarters. for they will not lay until
midwinter or early spring, hence will
consume more food than their eggs
will pay for. We have found it an ex.
cellent plan to keep the late-hatched
chicks on the range as long as possible,
and when they must be brought in and
fed place them in quarters by them.

enough room to take moderate exer

Japs on Offensive.

The Japanese assumed the offensive
on October q, at Yansintun, half way
between Bentsiaputze and Fengtiapu,
on the Mukden road. The whole day
was passed by the artillery in prepara-
tion for bombardment of the Russian
position. Toward evening a whole reg
iment moved out to capture the hill,
on which is Buddhist temple, a mile
south of Yansintun. The temple was
held by Russian battalion with two
machine guns. A fierce fight with cold
steel strewed the summit of the hill
with corpses. The Russians were out,
numbered, their machine guns were
dlsmantled and they were compelled
to fall back upon their main positions,
carrying with them the barrels of their
machine guns. The Russian artillery
then swept the hill with such a hail
of projectiles that the Japanese were
unable to remain there. Heavy losses
were inflicted on both sides.

LINEVITCH TAKES COMMAND,
Will Lead the Siberian Army Corps
lull in Fiqhtinu

st. Petersburg arrival of Lieu
tenant General Linevitch at Mukden
to assume command OF the Siberian
corps is the most interesting item OF
Saturdays war news. The announce
ment of his appointment, which was
telegraphed by correspondent of the
Associated Press, confirms the general
expectation that he will be summoned
by General Kuropatkin to resume an
important part in the conduct of the
command.
General Linevitvh is &c years of age,
but is as active as young man, and
immensely popular among the Siberian
troops, whom he commanded during
the Boxer war. He acted as command
er in chief of the Russian forces prior
to General Kuropatkin's appointment
and arrival in Manchuria.

Growing Special Crops.

Each year there are numbers of
GROWERS among farmers who wish
they could find some branch Of agrl-
cultural work less arduous than mixed
farming. 1t Is admitted that on some
farms hard work is about all there is
to be found, and yet the conditions
surrounding many such farms are
such that only mixed farming can be
carried on with any degree of success.
On the other hand. there are farms de-
voted to general farming which should
be turned into speciality farms. Then,
too, we find farmers who are peculiar
ly successful in growing some one or
two crops.
In such cases the way Is plain. II
the soil and conditions seem suited to
these one or two crops one can grow
better than his neighbors such crops
should be made speclalties-not the
entire farm devoted to them but suf-
ficient Of 1t to bring proper returns.
We believe the ideal farm to be the
one which is made to produce the liv-
ing-that is, the food-for the people
and the stock on 1t, and the remaining
acres devoted wholly to specialties
which experience has proved of value
In this way one is sure of living and

climatic and market conditions; but
