THEY CURE RHEUMATISM
A Particularly Painful Form of This
Disease Yields to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Ofthe many forms which rheumatism
takes, that which is popularity known as
sciatic rheumatism probably fortunes its
victim more than any other. That DIR.
Williams Pink Pills have cured this
stubhovu az well as painful trouble is a
TACT proven by the following statement.
and no sufferer who reads this can af-
ford to let prejudice stand in the way of
trying these blood-lnaking pills.
Rheumatism is now generally re-
cognized as disease of the blood. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills Enthusiastically
make-pure blood. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs.
Thomas Bresnehan, of 81 Mill street,
Watertown, N. Y, says:
My trouble began with severe cold
which I took about week before
Christmas III 1904. / began to have
rheumatic pains i'll my back and limbs
and after time couldn't straighten
up. I suffered the most awful pain for
months and much of the time was un-
able to leave the house and had to take
hold of chair i'll order to walk and
sometimes could not stand up at all.
The disease was pronounced sciatic
rheumatism and, although had a good
physician and took his medicine faith
fully, I did not get any better. After
some six weeks of this terrible pain and
suffering I tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and that is the medicine that cured
me. After few boxes the pain was
less intense and could see decided inn
provement. ] continued to take the pills
until I was entirely cured and I have
never had any return Of the trouble. =

Tha Zulu War Crv.

The Zulu war cry, used whenever
they take the field by the South Afri-
can footballers now in London, has
puzzled our newspapers, not one OF
which seems able to spell it correctly,
says Notes and Queries. The Daily
Express gives it as sIgamilzho,' and
the Daily Mail as "Gammillo." The
cry really consists of two words, and
should be written .Igama layo.'
"Igama' is Zulu for NAME" and
"layo' is possessive pronoun, mean.
ing either his or their" Thus the
Daily Mail although quite wrong in
its orthography OF the cry, is right in
saying that it merely means .'That is
mis- name" The explanation is that
Zulu etiquette does not allow warriors,
when they rush into battle, to men
ton the names of their enemies, but
the leaders shout out, THAT is his
name pointing to the victims with
their spears.

The Ideal Family Laxative.

Is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

Uncanny Chinese Legend.

There are the two celebrated tow
srs of the imperial city, the Bell tow
er and the Drum tower. AS to the
casting of the bell in the former there
is this legend: There had been two
unsuccessful attempts and the life OF
the founder was threatened in case of
a third failure. His daughter discov-
cred by occult means that nothing but
the blood of virgin mingled with
the molten metal would insure sue
cess. So at the next casting she sac
rificed her life by throwing herself
into the molten metal. leaving only
one shoe behind. The casting was
perfect. But when the bell was first
struck "all were horror-stricken as,
after the heavy boom of the bell,
came a low wall, as of girl in ag-
ony, distinctly saying the word 'heish,
shoe. And to this day people when
they hear it, say, There's poor Ko-ai's
voice calling out for her SHOE =

Edible Menu Card.

In London the latest thing is a "bill

on The sheet on which it is printed
Is the sugar paper used on the bottom
of maccaroons, while the lettering is
cake frosting. The London caterer
who invented the edible menu card
has been honored by the patronage of
the king. The king commanded
the caterer to teach his chef to make
the edible novelty, and the kings chef
produced it for a dinner at Windsor
castle. There was much laughter as
the kings guests discovered that the
menu cards" were good to eat. They
promptly ate them. It is said that
the only bad thing about the cards is
the bad French, and that is quite di-
gestible.

FOWLS WITHOUT LICE.
Don't Give vermin a Foothold, and
Your Task Will Be Easy.

Last summer the editor of the
experiment station. That station has
done great deal in the way of poul-
| try investigation. Conditions there
are of the very best, with the result
that the enterprise is successful. One
of the surprising things found there
is that there are no lice. Conse-
quently no lice killers have to be
used; the chicks do not have to be
creased after they are out of the
shell; the birds do not have to be fed
enough food to supply both them
selves and the lice, and the perches
do not have to be painted with anti
lice paint. All this expense and all
this labor are saved.
1t is wonder that consid ering the
great losses we experience from lice
we do not take more precautions to
entirely rid the poultry houses Of
them. A few years ago the Farmers
Review sent out inquiries to many
poultry raisers as to the cause of their
greatest losses. Most of the replies
said that the greatest losses were
due to lice. It may be that to lice
are due far greater losses than we
have suspected.
We know very little about how con-
tagious diseases are carried from fowl
to fowl. 1t may be that the lice do
more of this work than any other me-
dunn. 1t may be that louise draws
;,,fn
from it infects the next fowl on
which he happens to be.
There is an impression abroad that
there is little poultry disease where
there are no lice and no dirt. 1t is a
good thing to assume this at any
rate. 1t may be an error, but if it is
the error is on the part of virtue.
Prof. Charles Wood, in charge
of the Maine station, was asked by
the writer how he could keep his
fowls free from lice. He replied that
it was an easy thing to do. He start
ed with perfectly clean pens and
yards. He used incubators that had
never been used before, and he put
into those incubators eggs that had
no lice on them. The chicks Matched
had no lice, and no fowls are pur-
chased and brought onto the farm
There has to be a beginning fer the
lice infestation, and the problem is
to prevent the beginning. This is
not a difficult thing to do.
If it can be done at an experiment
station where there are 600 laying
hens and thousands of chicks, it Ger
tainly can be done on any farm

tackled about the hole and around the
sides to make the nest.
A lower shelf is made extending
only part way across the box. As
shown in the cut when the egg, A,
comes down through the hole in the
bottom of the nest proper, it strikes
on this padding, slides off from the
second shelf and drops into lower
compartment and gradually rolls until
it reaches the position of the last egg.
Here it is handy for the hand-hole
when the gatherer comes for the con-
tents of the nest This device is said
to work very satisfactorily and pre-
vents the hen from eating her egg
simply because it disappears from her
sight at once.

cAsTEL GANDoLFo's SECRET.
Cardinal Merry del Val Unearths :
Forgotten Convent,

The Rome correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette of London sends the fol
lowing remarkable story to his paper:
After 1870 Plus TX gave permission
to some clustered nuns from Terni
to establish themselves in the Papal
summer palace at CasteI Gandolfo,
n there they have been over since,
no only unknown to the villagers, but
forgotten by the Vatican itself. When
the Papal secretary of state, Cardinal
Merry del Val, went to the palace for
his "villeggiatIra," what was his as
constituent in going over the building
to find at n point a locked door with
a barred grill. Inquiry drew out the
fact that there were eight or ten aged
nuns living there, who, for over thirty
years a never set foot outside, even
in the garden, and had never received
a visitor. They inhabited the darkest,
most dilapidated, and dampest part of
the palace, and were reported to be
poor to starvation, and in very inirm
health. The Cardinal could not endure
the idea of such neglect and misery.
and together with the Pontif took
their interests in hand, so that they
have been removed into more COM
modious quarters at their birthplace,
Tcrni, where they have at least light
and air.
The poor old ladies were very CRATE
full, but prayed to be left alone to die
where they had lived so long. How
ever, this was not allowed, and now
I am sure they are happier in the
bottom of their hearts.
Their removal passed almost unno-
ticed in the village. Scarcely any one
knew of their resurrection, and they
left after dark, heavily yelled and oh!
so frightened of everything, even their
own shadows. They had probably
seen a railway before, but thirty-six
years of silence had dulled memory to
the vanishing point. Their removal
vas the prime cause of the rumor that
the Pope was going to leave the Vati-
can and go in the summer to Castel
Gandolfo.

A Ration For Work Horse.

G.. w. B. Richmond writes: Will
you give me the best and cheapest
ration for horses at mod crate farm
work from the following feeds:
Shelled corn, sixty-fve cents; oats,
f~orty-five cents; brand, $1.15; cotton
seed meal, $3.50; hay tclover, three
quarters; timothy, one-quarter), $16.
l would add linseed meal, but do not
know the price. The hay is good
quality.
Answer-You will need to feed
from sixteen to twenty pounds of
clover and timothy hay per day to
your horses if they are doing hard
work. Corn is the cheaper concen-
trate, price considered, in the list
mentioned, and you could feed your
horses on corn alone up to as much
as fourteen pounds per head per day
IL they are doing hard work. It
would be better, however, to give
them a variety of feed, say eight to
ten pounds of corn, two to four
pounds Of bran and one to two
pounds of cotton seed meal. This
will constitute a very satisfactory ra-
ton for horses weighing FROM 1000
to 1900 pounds, and the mixture
mentioned will be the cheapest you
can make unless you feed corn alone.
Corn alone is not desirable for horses
as it is too heating and fattening;
the addition of some protein foods
like cotton seed meal to the ration of
corn being very desirable for horses.
Bran has a fine physiological effect,
keeping the coat nice and oily and
in good condition. Therefore, a small
amount of it may be fed advantage
ousIy, even If it is high in price. Oats
are the dearest of the foods men
toned and you could not afford them
under the Observation-Disclosures
