Catarrh of the stomach is also known
in common parlance as dyspepsia, gas
tritis and indigestion. No medicine
will be of any permanent benefit except
it removes the catarrh.

Although he fed from Ptttston, near

of his home at Berwick and shot dead.
He had deHed the "Black Hand" in
Pittston and refused to pay tribute

death he fled with his wife and three
children to Berwick several weeks
ago. He was followed there and upon
again refusing to pay tribute to the
society, he was told he was a marked
man.
He guarded himself carefully since
then, but believing the neighbors were
summoning help. he answered a knock
at his door at 8 O'Clock and was snot

nootrfne of Hatred in war.

From the Saturday Review.
It is a fresh experience to take up
"a book which breaches a doctrine Of
hatred on the ground that a Giving
personal hatred" is a most valuable
fighting asset, and this is all that can
be said in favor Of these "Heresies Of
Sea Power" Mr.. Jane quotes Nelson
to support his curious theory, and de.
cIares that a crude desire to kill
Russians contributed materially to
the success of Japanese arms in the
late war. 1t is unfortunate for his
argument that Nelson should have
been SO consistently chivalrous to OPP
ponents and that the Japanese seem
to have been anxious to spare and
save life whenever killing served no
useful purpose. This attempt to con-
meet blood lust with victory shows
how diflcult it may be for a civilian
to understand the peculiar sympathy
which exists between fighting men Of
different nations. Il am going, | hope
and trust, to join Nelson" said Gra'
VIVA on his deathbed, and from what
we know of Nelson he was probably
the first to greet his old enemy in the
Halls of valhalla.

To Break a Calf to Drink,

Successful Farming may be amusing

This is one of the pleasantest past

gradually. at the same time pulling up
with the left hand until its mouth is
in proper position to receive its sus-

milk. The calf has had its first lesson.
and after getting the milk you can then
do it over again just rs you did before
BY this time you are in IL frame of

head in the pail, put your fingers in its

il does chow il some. Be firm nothing

and land you on your head in the cor

still more milk and of course the calf
must be fed. If it should now ''snooz-

take it as a joke, the calf don't like to

is plenty of milk. When you catch it

hold it there, don't give up. victory

best. Be patient and calm, whatever
you do, hold it there. hold for dear

1t is doubted if two per cent. of the
people of the United States have ever
seen a thin or paper-shelled pecan, or
tasted this most delicious of nuts.
Those however, who have sampled it
declare with enthusiasm that there is

or even the lordly almond itself

A dozen or fifteen years since Con-
onel w R. Stuart began series of
experiments in pecan culture at Ocean
Springs, Miss, with the result to-day
that there are three or four pecan
nurseries there. and others at Scran-
ton and Biloxi. These nurseries grow,
bud and shell a surprising number of
trees, their books showing orders

more that allthat is necessary is to

your thin shelled pecans, certain
thereafter of a royal income so long
as you shall be given to live.
Among the valuable factors per
tanning to the Gulf Coast as regards
pecan culture is the singular fact
that the tree has two seasons of
growth. That is, it does not bear two
crops of nuts. but the sap rises both
