WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their UnceasinS Work Keeps Us Strong
And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this Impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many
diseases and syrnptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
G. K. Page, real estate and in
surance agent, of Corpus Christi,
Texas, says: My wife thinks a
great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull ach-
ing pain in her back which had
given her considerable annoyance
for over a year. They also cor
rected the action of the kidney
secretions which had been rather
irregular. Knowing this to be a
fact I have no hesitation in endors-
ing this remedy, and trust it
may be means of helping others
afflicted.

INQUIRY IN ARMY SCANDAL.
Officers in Philippines Said to Have Had
Furniture Made in Government Shops.

Washington, D. C.-Under Sec
rotary Taft's direction, an inves-
tigation is now being made of
Army methods in the Philippines,
with special to the operation of the
so-cal1ed Government shops in
Manila.
Army officers and civilian officials
are alleged to have made it a
practice to have their houses re-
paired at the cost of the Govern
ment through these shops. They
have had furniture repaired, new
furniture made and various articles
of woodwork and other kinds of
work made for which they have
never Paid a penny, though the
bills seem to be on file.
It is said in the Quartelmaster
Generals Office in this city that the
debtors of the Government include
practically every rank in the Army,
from Lieut.. Gen. Corbin down to
Second Lieutenants. 1t is asserted
emphatically by Quartermaster
Gen. Humphrey that i'll each of
these debts there is not a scintilla
of graft or the suggestion Thereof.
Some of the accounts have oeen
running seven or eight years, and
the purpose of the present inves-
tigation is to determine what por-
ton of the account charged against
him each officer owes for himself.
and when this is learned, Gen.
Humphrey says, the sum will be
collected from the officers.
Gen. Humphrey explains that
the custom of having work for
officers done in Government shops
arose from exigency of the situa-
ton. The officers were thousands
of miles away from home and hun

RevivinE Old Fruit Trees.

A Maryland fruit grower has after
several years of experimenting discoy-
cred a way to revive old fruit trees
and keep them in bearing condition
long after their supposed stage Of use
fulness has passed. AS the cause of
decay in a tree is its inability to carry
the sap to all Of it's branches, heading
the tree lessons the area to be travers-
ed, the amount Of top to be removed,
varying according to the farmers judg-
ment Bone-dust and ashes must then
be administered as a fertilizer, the nat
ter in the autumn and the other in the
spring. This treatment will revive old
trees, the cutting off the branches, tend
ing to increase the number Of fruit
buds formed, and the ashes and bone
dust tending to stimulate the tree

CPOn-BOun6 Fowls.

Every farmer is familiar with what
Is called "crop-bound" in fowls. The
crop becomes packed with food that
has ceased to pass into the gizzard
of the bird. If the contents Of the
crop consist of grain only, the fowl
should be kept from food for some
days. In addition, the crop should be
manipulated with the hands. This will
tend to loosen the grain and start it's
passage into the gizzard.
Sometimes the condition is caused by
feeding cut hay, dried alfalfa or clover,
which have packed at the point where
the food should pass out Of the crop.
One poultry raiser in cases Of this kind
pours sweet oil down the throat Of the
bird, and this loosens up the mass. In
bad cases he opens the crop by cut
ting and removes the collected food,
afterward sewing up the crop. He says
that this does appear to cause the bird
much pain. After this Is done the bird
should be fed only milk or other light
food for some days.

No stills are used and the upright
studs take the place of posts. Two for
each post are set on the foundation on
each side. Between these the cross
plank is placed and spiked SO that it
will extend the width Of the barn and
tie the two sides together. The scant-
lings on each side Of the barn floor,
forming center posts, are then raised
and spiked in place. Upon the outside
Of each upright is spiked a plank Of
the same size as and parallel with the
first cross plank. This gives three 2xS
inches for cross stills through the cen
ter of the barn, each joint or bard be-
ing fixed in this way. End joints, using
boards instead Of plank on outside, give
the bedwork Of the barn. At the sides,
between uprights in place Of sill,

The Farm Garden.

No farmer can afford to do without
a good garden. 1t is not to be expected
that every one will be a fancy gar
dener, but every one should give suffi-
cient attention to the subject SO as to
produce all staple vegetables earlier
than can be produced in the field. 1t
is not only essential to the health and
proper enjoyment of the family, but
it is actually matter of profit. Could
your whole farm be made as smooth,
dry, rich and as we'll cultivated as a
good garden, the increased product
would pay a large per cent of profit
upon the outlay. In the garden, or in
a separate compartment, may be culti-
waited Strawberries, raspberries, black
berries, currants, grapes and dwarf
pears. They can all be had at very
small cost of money or labor, and will
add immensely to the enjoyment of
the household.

The Farm Labor Question.

Much is being said just now about la
Dor on the farm. The farmers complain
that labor is both scarce and inefficient,
while the farm hands grumble about
poor pay and long hours. AS to the
matter of wages, l believe the hired
man Is right; while the farmer Is often
correct as to the poor quality Of the
help to be had. The reason for this is
1ot far to seek. Other occupations have
offered greater inducements to the man
without capital, and the best men have
left the farm and gone to them. There
Is, it must be confessed, little induce
ment for a strong, willing energetic
young man to work on farm at $12
or $15 per month and board. He can
usually do better elsewhere, and else
where he goes. This is true of all
grades Of service; and not until the
farm can offer the man Of muscle and
the man of brain as much for their
services as they can get elsewhere can
the farm hold them. Higher wages for
farm hands are, to my mind, inevita-
BILE; and this means that many farmers
will have to learn how to better handle
their men. What is needed is not cheap
labor, and lots Of it, but good labor and
skillful management for it. While this
Is true Of the labor problem as whole,
lit is equally true that the main ques-
ton is that Of individuality. A farmer
who treats his hired man as he would
wish to be treated if he were the wage
Garner can usually get men, and the
laborer who looks after his employers
interests as his own can always find
employment. You can no more leave
out the individuality in considering the
servant question" What is in great
est demand is mutual confidence and a
mutual desire to do the best that can
be done. A difference in wages of a
dollar or two a month is small thing
to the difference between a good man
and a poor one, or between a good
place and a bad one.-E. E. Miller, in

Collar and saddle Calls.

Calls on horses are due to several
causes, but frequently to saddles and
harness that press unevenly on the
body. The collar should fit the horse
perfectly, and it cannot be too good. A
loose girth to saddle may allow it to
shift When gall is noticed there is
something wrong with the saddle or
harness, and no remedy will be avail
able until the cause Of the gall is re-
moved. An examination of the harness
should be made whenever the horse is
brought up from work at night, and it
should be kept in good condition or the
horse will suffer.

COTTON MILL PROPOSITION AGAIN

The Indiahoma Farmers union has evolved
plan to secure the location Of cotton mill in the ter
rtory For each bale of cotton sold by members Of the

ed to put the enterprise on its feet and the funds from

Union is one that has already been adopted and is
meeting with much favor among the farmers Of Tex

prove success.
Undoubtedly within the next few years many
cotton mills will be built in the Southwest The indus

South during the past decade IS marvellous and i is

ed to the fact that there IS no reason why should

to tie manufacturer and freight the products that
are retGrned and the same arguments apply in this
section Within the past few years cotton mills have
been established and successfully in Texas operated
and just recently Guthrie has taken the lead in the
territory and organized SToo,ooo company to
build mill
Chickasha is located in one Of the finest cotton
countries in the world and her position renders her
the natural gateway to the great cotton regions Of
Southwestern Oklahoma. Over 10000 bales we're com
pressed here last and the figures will probably
reach great total this year, Why should not the
farmers Of this section sell their product directly to
the consumers right here? It means much to the cot
ton grower and it would mean much to Chickasha if
we could establish mill here. q

Senator Rsyoridge to Protect Children.

AT recent meeting of representa-
tives of the Y. M. G. AS of Indi-
ana and Ohio, held at Richmond,
Indiana, Senator Albert j. Beveridge
stated that upon the opening day of
the coming session of Congress he
intended to introduce bill prohibit
ing the labor of children throughout
the country and hill to make more
rigid the present meat inspection law.
He aaid the child labor bill will
provide that no railroad, steamship,
steamboat or other carrier or inter-
state commerce shall transport or ac-
cept for transportation the product
OF any factory or mine that employs
children under fourteen years of age.
The bill, he said, would provide that
every carrier of interstate commerce
shall require an affidavit from every
factory or mine owner shipping it's
produce that it does not employ
children under fourteen years of age,
the form of affidavit to be prescribed
by the Department of Commerce
and Labor, or the inter- State Com
merce Commission, with heavy pen
alties, both civil and criminal, for
violation of the law. The bill, if it
becomes law, he believed, will stop
the practice of running future citi-
zenship by working children of ten
der age in factories and mines.
There is no other way, he said, to
reach this growing evil.

suits were fled against Clemson Col

to $4,000 for damage to lands owned
by farmers in the neighborhood be-.
cause of a dyke built across one of
the streams. The suit was thrown
ont in the lower courts on the
grounds that the courts did not
have jurisdiction, because the State
of South Carolina cannot be sued
without the consent of the General
ASSEMBLY, and the college was part
of the State. This view was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court. The
action of the Court is of more than
usual interest because there has been
some complaint that the State has
had insufficient protectorate over the
affairs of the institution.
