WHISKY IN THE PILLOWS
Unique Methods of MOOnshiners In
Promoting Sale of Mountain
Dew.

good many stories are told Of the in
genious tricks resorted to by moonshiners
in disposing of Illicit whisky. Perhaps the
most common is one used by the natives.
1t is to leave a jug and a half dollar on
some particular stump or log; the next
move is to go away for a short time and
on returning the half dollar will be gone,
but the jug will be covered Qnside) with
mountain dew"
Burton Holmes, the traveller, tells the fol-
lowing story of an experience he had early
this fail in the mountains Of Tennessee:
II had Joined a camping party near the
small town OF Jellico, which is on the state
line between Tennessee and Kentucky.
Some one in the party suggested a trip up
the mountains to get pine needles or bal
sam pillows, from the mountaineers who
sell them to the few tourists that reach
this wild region of the Blue Ridge. 1t was
after several hours hard climbing that we
saw our first cabin We went over, and
after several whoops ano calls our efforts
were rewarded by a woman coming to tho
door. We asked if she had any pine pill
lows for sale. Instead of answering she
slowly. and with great care, looked us
over. 1 could see that her inspection more
or less satisfied her. but she said she
didn't know she would have to see,'
and, turning. she went back into the house
Almost Immediately we could hear hur-
ried conversation that was being carried
on in low tones, and in surprisingly short
time a man appeared and asked what kind
of pillows we were looking for mems or
women's Not a little surprised at the
strange question, replied that we would
like a few of both My answer evidently
puzzled him. for his eyes narrowed into
a peculiar squint and he told us he did
not have any women's made up but that
we could have loose balsam, for these, at
the rate OF 90 cents pillow. He said he
had mems pillows all ready, but they
would be $50 each. Finally we were fitted
out with enough balsam to make pillows
for the women and each man in the party
had under his arm rude sack-like pillow
that felt as though 1t contained a brick.
We had all been wondering what made
the pillows so heavy until curiosity finally
overcame one of the men. and with the
help of a penknife he started an investi-
cation. The mystery was soon solved, for
when he withdrew his hand full quart
bottle of moonshine whisky came with 1T.
Needless to say none of us that had pur-
chased mems pillows could use them to
sleep on until slight alterations had been
made. brooklyn Eagle.

BIG MONEY IN SUNFLoWERS
Indiana Township DevOtes It's
Energies to n Profitable
Industry.


Preparations are being made for harvest
Ing the suuflower crop in Bethlehem town
ship, Indiana, thiEty miles up the river
from JeffersonvIlie. 1t is expected the
yield this year will amount to more than
100 tons, all OF which will be sold to Edward
s. Pernett and Charles E. Pernett.
The Pernetts buy all the sunhower seed
hauled to their store, and it is piled up un-
Ill sufficient supply is accustomed to ship
it by boat to Madison, where it is sold.
Most Of the seed gees to St. Louis. A great
deal Of it is ground and made into condition
powders for stock. but occasionally some
is made into so-called "olive oil' that is
said to surpass cottonseed oil.
The father of the sunfiower industry in
Bethlehem township is John Mcdonald
who has made enough money to retire from
farming. Mr.. Mcdonald went into the
business fifteen years ago. When his neigh
bors saw him planting the seed for the
first time they said he was crazy and was
turning his farm into a flower garden. Nc
Donald went ahead, however, and when he
harvested his crop he sold it for cents a
pound. realizing $50 an acre. The laughing
ceased and others began to raise sunhow-
ers for seed. Now he is considered a poor
farmer in Bethlehem township who does
not raise some.
Corn planting time is sunhower planting
time and the two are cultivated in much
the same way. Some of the growers are
inclined to be superstitlous and assert that
unless the seed Is sown I'm the dark Of the
May moon the crop viii not be worth har-
vesting, but others plant it when Il suits
their convenience, aud 1t is said that there
is no difference in the yield. The enemy OF
the sunfower is the English sparrow, and
at this time lie is as numerous in Bethle-
hem township as the sunhower stalks. BY
hard work the birds are fought away suf-
hcently to save most of the seed, but the
/ sparrows become very fat al the early fall
and make good eating. As there is no law
/ against killing them, many are victims OF
the shotgun and birdtraps.
The sunfiower harvest has little about Il
i that Is not prosaic. and II requires solid
4 work to separate the seed from the big pod
/ The threshing is done by hand in a wager
as the crop is gathered, and unless the seeC
is dead ripe It is attended with incon
! venience. as the grain is sticky. At harves
time a wagon containing several men anC

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Few People Know How Useful IL IL
in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take Of IT 1.-THE better; 1t is not a drug at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach and
intestines and carries them out Of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminentIy
safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which col
Iect in the stomach and bowels; il disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges. They are composed of
the finest powdered willow charcoal and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet form
or, rather, in the form Of large. pleasant
with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will soon
tell In a much improved condition OF the
general health, better complexion. sweeter
breath and purer blood. and the beauty OF
IL is that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but, on the contrary
great benefit
A Buffalo physician. in speaking Of the
benefits Of charcoal, says: Il advise
stuart's Charcoal LOzenges TO all patients
suffering from gas In the stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat;
also believe the liver Is greatly benefited
by the daily use OF them; they cost but
3 cents a box at drug stores. and although
in some sense patent preparation, yet l
believe / get more and better charcoal in
Stuarts Charcoal LOzenges than In any Of
