A Sure Cure for Gout.

DR.. William Osler, in one of his
Baltimore lectures, recited a quaint
old cure for the gout-a cure, from
seventeenth century medical work
that was designed to show gout's
hopelessness.
First pick" said the old cure, "a
handkerchief from the pocket of a
spinster of 35 who never wished to
wed; second, wash the handkerchief
in an honest miller's pond; third, dry
1t on the hedge of parson who
never was covetous; fourth, send it
to the shop of physician who never
killed a patient; fifth, mark it with
lawyers ink who never cheated a
client, and, sixth, apply it, hot, to the
gout-tormented part. A speedy cure
must follow"

LARGE Fossils Found.

Scientists of the University of Cali
fornia, who have been searching for
prehistoric animals on the Nevada
desert for the past few months, have
succeeded in finding skeletons of some
sea mammoths on the dry wastes.
One of the specimens is 29 feet long,
and, packed occupies 81 boxes. This
specimen was found on the great 40
mile desert in Humbolt county and
is considered one Of the most valu-
able fossils ever unearthed. Before
finding this one the scientists sue
ceeded in locating several smaller rep
tiles, which must have lived in that
region ages ago.

Why Feed the Balanced Ration.

Line upon line seems to be neces-
sary to impress COW owners that to
insure any sort of success with cows
it is necessary that they have a well
balanced ration. The Daily Produce
gets close to an explanation of this
matter in the following:
by a balanced ration we mean
ration or feed which has in it the
elements necessary to yield a large
amount of good milk. In good May
or June pasture we have a balanced
ration of natures making. That is one
reason why fresh cows always do their
best in May and June. 1t is not the
only reason, for in these months the
fly does not trouble, and otherwise con-
ditions are at their best. Many farm
ers fall down by not feeding a bal
anced ration. They expect their cows
TO work miracles, to make bricks with
out straw, to provide milk without
having the proper raw material We
have abundant examples of cows being
picked up by the experiment stations,
notably in Kansas, just common coun-
try cows, that when brought to the
college and properly fed prove to be
exceptionally profitable mixers. They
were not profitable on the farm, be-
cause the farmer did not give them a
balanced ration.
This balanced ration is not some
new-fangled scientific notion gotten up
by agricultural papers, colleges and ex-
pertinent stations, but, just a plain,
everyday, common sense, practical
proposition. 1t is just giving the COW
what she needs for the work she has
on hand, just as our grandmothers
gave us pork and beans-the pork fur
nishing the carbohydrates and the
beans the albuminoids; Just as they
give us bread and butter, the bread
furnishing the albumoids, the butter
the carbohydrates; just as they give
us roast beef and potatoes, the beef
furnishing the flesh-formers, the pota-
toes the carbohydrates; just as they
give us a good old-fashioned New Eng
land boiled dinner, which has in it
about everything you can think Of
some meat, potatoes, turnips, parsnips,
cabbage, carrots-all going to the right
spot-the cheapest and best dinner
that a man can get at restaurant.
Now we must apply this same com
mon sense to the feeding of dairy
cows, If they are to be profitable. There
is nothing better than good pasture
and its grasses during May and June.
There is nothing better during the
winter than corn silage with alfalfa
and clover hay. The one question
which dairy farmers and all other far
mers must study with increased dill
gence during the years to come is what
constitutes a balanced ration, or the
ration that goes to the right spot and
does the business.-Indiana Farmer.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia f. Pinkhnm's Vegeta-
bic Compound. Their letters are on file
In Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
OF this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter of
q century?
Simply and surely because of its ster.
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant-not because il is
o palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures, and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where 1t is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound In severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that II will effect cure.

A Queer Thinu About JULY.

How we came to pronounce July
as we do now with the accent on the
second syllable is one of the unsolved
mysteries of speech. Named of
course, after julius Caesar, it should
really be pronounced to rhyme with
duly" and so our forefathers actu-
ally did pronounce it. Spenser, for
instance, has the line, Then came
hot July boyling like fire." and even
so late as Johnson's time the accent
was still on the "Ju." 1t is one of
many words which would startle
those ancestors of ours spoken as
we speak them now.-London Chron-
