RESTORE STRENGTH
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Actually
Mako New Blood n Good
Health Follows.

The evil effects that follow many dis.
eases - particularly the grip and the
wasting fevers, such as typhoid and
malaria, are caused by the bad condition
in which these diseases leave the blood.
As a result, the flesh continues to fall
away, the sufferer grows nervous aud
irritable, and even slight exertion causes
shortuess of breath. These are danger.
Gus symptoms aud indicate that the
system is in q state that invites pneu.
monia, bronchitis or even consumption.
What is needed is a new supply of rich,
red blood to carry health and strength
to every part Of the body.

KITTY.

She Had the Hat that Exactly Suited
Her Customer.
| Two friends moved down the street
in silence. Mabel's face was a study
in scowls. Elsie, her guest, was pom
dering over the limits to which friend
ship may legitimately be taxed. A
succession Of exasperated shop girls in
half a dozen fashionable shops had
failed to suit the particular Mabel with
a hat. Elsie was considering going
home tomorrow.
Suddenly Mabel exclaimed:
''IIl just go to Kitty and get my
hatw
Elsie, following in discreet silence,
only looked her surprise as Mabel en-
tered an unpretentious shop in a side
street.
"Oh, Kitty" cried Mabel, animated
", discovering a tall, plain young
woman arranging ribbons in a show
case.
Miss Mabel"! The plain face light
ed up. "I'm awfully glad you've come.
I've got just the hat for you"
Mabel's face had undergone trans
formation. Elsie, too, felt decidedly
better. Perhaps, after all, she would
| finish her visit.
"Yes'-Kitty came up flushed from
under the counter-'I was 80 worried
for fear Miss Gorton would take it.
| But finally she took the other hiatt
| lust suited her coloring-and this ones
still here"
Mabel was removing her hat. Elsie
leaned forward, Interested. Kitty,
reaching across the wide counter, deft-
ly extracted an unwilling hatpin and
set '1ust the hat on Mabers head.
"Why Kitty exclaimed Elsie, un-
consciously adopting the friendly little
name that somehow .jnst suited its
owner, swhat long arms you have"
yes" responded Kitty, "and they're
Just the thing for me. Do you know"
she laughed a contagious little laugh
II really believe my arms were made
lust to reach acres counters and try
on hats"
Later the two friends were again in
the street, Mabel wearing the hat
which Kitty's long arms had nrst
placed on her head.
ST understand perfectly" broke out
Elsie, presently. why You bought thl,
hat, Mabel, althoush"-she stopped
then plunged boldly on-"althoush
you've tried on q dozen prettier hat,
to-day"
"This hat just suits me-" said. Ma.
bel, stoutly.
"It's well worth wearing any sort o.
q hat" pursued analytical Elsie, 'just
to come into that girls atmosphere
How many people do you suppose
really believe their arms were made
to do what they are actually doing
Most OF us think ours were made to Del
on bracelets"
~ don't know what you're talkin,

exactly what l wanted. I'm only dis
gusted because i've wasted all m,

The Massachusetts experiment sta
ton kept track Of the cost of feed eat
en- by three farm horses for five years.
The feed consisted Of hay, corn, oats
and other common feeding stufs. The
cost Of the ration averaged from 1917
to 24A cents per head daily. At the
Oklahoma station Kaffir corr was used
quite extensively: With Kafir corn
and ordinary corn at 20 cents n bushel,
oats 25 cents, bran % cents per 100
pounds, the average cost Of a work
horses daily ration was IT cents. If
all horse owners understood how good
oats are for horse feed there would
be better horses in the country. Corn
Is almost unfit for the hard worked
horse. If you feed oats the horses may
not look quite SO fat, but they will be
in better condition. They will lave
more life and feel more like working,
and it is a settled fact that they will
do more work during the season by n
great deal, enough more that 1T will pay
we'll to feed on oats.-Farm Home.

A New Movement I'm Education.
The Missouri State Board Of Agri-
culture in cooperation with the Agri-
cultural College has just in~augurated
a new educational campaign. Lectur-
ers are being sent to the country school
houses in various parts Of the State to
speak to the children and parents upon
practical problems Of farming. Usually
two lectures are given at each place,
one In the afternoon and at night.
In many places Is to 100 farmers at
tend the meetings, often going miles
over muddy roads. The funds IN the
hands Of the board are not sufficient to
enable 1t to send lecturers to every
schooIhouse, but the enthusiasm with
which the farmers receive the instruc-
tion leads to the belief that Missouri

Curing Hams. aC
Hog raising has declined 70 much in
some sections that farmers are reduced
to the purchase Of the coarse and
chemically treated hams sold In the
markets. These are far inferior to
farm, raised, SORT and milk fed hogs
Of the smaller breeds with the hams
cured in the old-fashioned manner. A
plan still practised is to hang the hams
in q barrel which connects by q con-
.duits with a great hole In which are
burned large quantities OF cobs. The
cobs make a very clean, wholesome
smoke and there ID no danger OF fre, as

Potato Eye. Mailed.

"|Go .E| .r-
Many of the seedsmen mail potato
eyes put up in plaster, so thai they
will reach planters in good shape. The
eyes are taken put of the tubers with
a knife made expressly for that pur-
pose, which carries a pretty good-sized
piece Of the potato. They are quite
sure to grow and make a fair crop re-
CARELESS of the small beginning. This
is a cheap means Of getting started in
new varieties or Of obtaining pure
stock from some Of the standard varie-
ties.
One hundred eyes, assorted to in
clude a half dozen sorts, may be or
dered packed in one box. These will
cost about 81, with charge prepaid.
The cost is hardly worth mentioning
when compared to the advantage Of
having some pure stock Of known va
rieties. They are no mailed until

This disease Is sometimes called
%strangles. It usually causes an abscess
to form in the neighborhood Of the
throat or root Of the tongue and when
this discharges the horse soon gets bet
ter. A hot poultice should be applied
to the throat and changed twice a day
until the swelling bursts or disappears.
Give soft feed, do not work the horse
and give twice daily a teaspoonful Of
powdered chlorate of potash.

OLD ROMAN BATHS.
They Held Theaters, Temples, Feast
ing Halls and Libraries.

The ancient Romans were eXtrava-
gantly fond of bathing They got their
notions about the bath as luxury
from the Greeks, and at one time there
were nearly 900 public bathing estab-
lishments in Rome, some of which were
the most beautiful and elaborate struc-
lures in the world.
The baths of the Emperor Diocletian
covered more than half q square mile
and contained, uesidG5 immense basins
and thousands of marble recesses, the
alters, temples, halls for feasting, prom
enades planted with trees, Libraries,
schools for youth and academies for
the discussions of the learned. The
bathers sat on marble benches below
the surface of the water, around the
edge Of the basins, scraping them
selves with dull knives of metal and
ivory and taking occasional plunges In
to the water.
DiSSipated Romans would spend
whole days in the bath, seeking relief
from Overindulgence iD eating and
drinking the night before. Everybody,
even the emperor, used these baths,
which were open to every one who
chose to pay the price of admission.
IT was not usual for the old Romans
to have baths in their houses, though
at a date 1900 years before that, or
$500 years ago, the noblemen of an
I cient Greece had their dwellings sup
piled with baths of terra Gotta.

st. Petersburg, July 5.-Emperor
Nicholas has taken the almost unprec-

Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaieyitch,
commander of the forces in the mill
tary district of st. Petersburh, to in
vestigate and take measures to stop
the disorders relieving Prince Vassil-

corps from duty and dismissing in dis
grace General Ozeroff, commander of
the first guard division and General
Gadon, commander of the Feobrajen-
sky regiment, the first battalion of
which was recently disgraced for ex-
pressing pathy with parliament
and protesting against doing police
duty. GadOn is said to be a descend
ant of an American named Gordon,
the name having been Russianized by
lapse of time.
All attempts to purge the army of
The spirit Of disloyalty, now that it
has invaded the pampered regiments
of the guard, will, however, probably
prove futile. No isolation Of the
troops will any longer suffice to pre-
vent the spread of the contagion.
While the majority of the troops
probably are faithful, the undermining
of the military support Of the gov
ernment is proceeding very rapidly.
The revolutionists are rejoicing at the
success Of what they regard as being
the final phase of the work of pre-
pairing for the coming revolution
A further extension of the agrarian
disorders, accompanied by the burn
ing of a manor house, is reported to-
day from the provinces of Penzea Ka.

districts of Borogoditsk and at Karsk.

in parliament are secretly celebrating
a plan to bring matters to head. AS
the first step they propose to pass a
resolution in the house demanding i'm
mediate relief on several subjects If
this fails, the group OF Toll proposes
to issue a manifesto to the country.
Their purpose is plainly to drive the
government to attempt to dissolve par
