SOME FARM NOTES.

Cow pea hay is the ideal feed for the
farmers mich cow in winter. If YOU
want milk in winter grow cow peas and
make into hay, and then if you have a
COW to feed the hay you will get the
milk and butter. Every farmer should
grow enough for the cows at least. A
good crop can be grown after the oats
have been harvested. The American

That this vegetable is not appreciated
as 1T should be in country places where
it frequently abounds.
That watercress fiourishes for nine
months in the year.
That it can be used for fall Appetite,

That it is, perhaps, inappropriate to
call it a vegetable, even when used 70,
salads, as it is a weed pure and simple,
and it is claimed that it can never be
anything else.
That under artificial treatment it loses
the faint, piquant mustard flavor that is
its especial charm, and assumes much OF

That during its season of growth the
watercressi is constantly renewing itself
and the large, coarse leaves of the ole
plants may be left to wither and only
the young and delicate stems picked.

Many eloquent speeches were made

In his dual capacity as Chief Exec
utive of Atlantic City, N. j., and
president of the board of governors of
the City Hospital, Mayor Stoy has pro-
mulgated new edict to saioonkeepers
who permit patrons to riot and furnish
business for the hospital. In the future.
proprietors of such places must be pre-
pared to not only be held liable for
punishment for keeping disorderly
houses. but also to pay such claims as
the hospital may have for the repair of

The liquor question as a political
issue IN Virginia is fast assuming the
aspect of regulation or prohibition. It
Is now at the stage of regulation in the
public mind, and there it will be per-
manently fixed if all the interests con-
cerned are wise, conservative and con-
ciliatory. But if they are not, and the
policy of regulation is rejected, then
there is the prospect in Virginia of local
option fights and prohibition campaigns
with all the acrimony and bitterness at
tendent on such contests. The avenue
OF escape from this is now open in a
proper regulation of the liquor traffic.
and it should not be disregarded. Index
Appeal.
The anti-saloon tornado struck EN-
poria and Belfeld recently with power
which paralized the liquor traffic and
left it in a condition that almost makes
church supervision sine qua non of its
continuance. The blow comes like
bolt from clcudless sky, for probably
Emporia was one of the last places in
Virginia where manifestation of anti
saloon power was expected. The evil
dences are multiplying everywhere that
regulation of the liquor traffic is the
fixed and determined purpose of public
sentiment in Virginia, and the only al
tentative is prohibition. The signs of
the times are plain, and those that will
not read them and profit by them may
have to suffer the consequences. Index |

DON'T NEGLECT a COLD.
Neglected Colds Lead to Consumption.
How Consumption Develops.

Nine cases of consumption out OF ten
occur in this way:
| A person catches cold. The cold is not
properly cured, and another cold is
caught.
| This cold is dilly-dallied with, either
by no treatment whatever or some treat
ment that is Intellectual, and the cold
continues.
Then another cold is caught and
cough develops. Cough syrups are re-
sorted to, but they give only temporary
relief.
BY and by the patient gets tired of
taking medicines and cough syrups and
gives up in despair.
| The cold continues to develop and Ine
cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called in, only tor
discover that the patient is in the first
stages of consumption.
1t was just in this way that Miss
Powell, of Aurora, Ind, became sick.
She caught n cold, and not considering
1t serious, neglected it, thinking as
many others do, that it would swear ofr -
However, it chung to her tenaciousIy,
and in two weeks she found her health
In serious condition.
Fortunately, Peruna had been brought
70 her notice, and she took course OF
this remedy before it was too late.
In week the cough and cold were
broken, and a three weeks treatment
completely restored her to health.
This Is what Peruna is doing all tho
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour passes in which some one does not
have similar experience with Peruna.
Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid
Consumption.
The first step toward consumption is
cold. The next step is failure to cure
promptly. The third step is the de-
velopment OF catarrh, which gradually
becomes chronic. The fourth step, the
catarrh begins to spread from the head
to the throat, then to the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. 1t is
then consumption in the first stage.
| Atany time during the progress of ca
: tarrh, from the first onset of the cold to
its final settlement in the lungs, Peruna
!, can be relied upon to stop the disease.

= without delay. Ono bottle in the be-
ginning will do more good than a half
