RESTORE STRENGTH
Or. Williams Pink Pills Actually
Make New Blood and Good

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 result, the flesh continues to fall
away, the sufferer grows nervous and
irritable, and even slight exertion causes
shortness of breath These are danger
ous symptoms and indicate that the
system is in a state that invites pneu-
monia, bronchitis or even consumption.
What is needed is new supply OF rich,

to every part of the body.

Whistle Language of the Gomeras.

They have a whistle language on Co
mera island, in the Canary archipelago.
They can whistle there as articulate ly
as a Bostonian can speak.
And since they can whistle very loud
and shrill. the Gomeras can converse q
long way off A Gomera hunting a mile
from home can ask his wife what there
lis for lunch, and if the menu does not
please him he can scold her and order
a change as well as though he stood be-
side her.
The Gomeras talk in a sing-song, and
their whistle language reproduces the
spoken ones intonations. For instance:
Children all over America have
taunting cry
Hiss for shame, hiss for shame
Everybody knows your name.
This cry is not sung 1t is intoned.
And so the Gomeras intone their gut
tural language.
1t would be quite easy to whistle intel
lightly the Hiss for Shame" cry. So it
is quite easy to whistle the Gomeras

Children and Sea Bathing.

Many child has had it's pleasure in
sea bathing destroyed by the wel-meant
but misguided efforts of its elders to
make it enjoy the experience Who has
not seen some unfortunate little child
borne, kicking and yelling, into deep
water and dipped into what must seem
given to the sensitive nervous organiza-
ton of a child is thing not to be treat
ed lightly. That the little creature may
be racing merrily on the beach within
ten minutes after it's immersion is by
10 means proof that no harm has been
done. 1t is much better to let children
choose their own depth near the shore
and paddle about at their own sweet
will. When an anxious mother fears q
chill from this partial bathing, baby can
usually be coaxed into sitting down in
the shallow water. and then be gently
wet all over.-Harper's Bazaar.

CLIPPING THE HORSE.
HECOM MENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
Clipping Improves the Health of
the Horse, Makes Him Feel Bet
ter, Work Better, and increases
His Value.

"A horse is a valuable asset, and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be we'll fed, comfortably
stabbed, carefully groomed and clipped

these attentions he will work we'll and

giving him a comfortable bed to lie on.
Farmers in England and France have
been clipping their horses for many
years, and American farmers are not
clipped horse dries out rapidly after
hard days work, and will rest comfort
ably and be refreshed for the work the
following day. An unclipped horse is
liable to catch the heaves, pneumonia
and all sorts Of colds, rheumatism, etc.
More especially is this so in the early
spring, when his hair Is long and he
is soft" II worked hard he will per-
spire freely and the moisture will be
held by his long hair, and the food that
should go to nourish him will be used
to replenish the heat that is being con-
stantly taken from his body by the
mass Of cold wet hair. If clipped, the
perspiration will evaporate almost as
soon as secreted, and when put in the
stable he rests comfortably and his
food does him good.
Some years ago a Buffalo street car
company tested the value of clipping
in the following manner: They owned
500 horses, and $50 Of these were
clipped early in the spring and 2o0
were not clipped. A careful record was
kept Of results, and it was found that
Of the $50 unclipped horses 153 were
afflicted with coughs and pneumonia,
while of the $50 clipped not one case
of sickness was reported.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very good health if he did hard manual
work clothed with heavy underwear, a
heavy suit and fur overcoat, and
after perspiring freely, as he naturally
would, go to sleep without removing
same. It is just as ridiculous 20 expect

NEW EXPERIMENT ON PIE PLANT.
Can Raise Rhubarb Pant in Dark Cellar
During Winter.


An odd experiment in farming, but
one which seems likely to prove Of real
value to housewives as we'll as of inter
est to students of agricultural questions,
is in progress in Menominee county,
Mich. 1t has to do with the cultlva-
ton of pie plant, SO commonly called,
in dark cellar during the cold winter
months.
The tests are being conducted by a
market gardener named Carlson, living
FIVE miles out of Menominee on the new
county road. Carlson has met with con-
spicuous success in his efforts, and for
some time past he has been able to turn
out from three to four dozen punches of
fine pie plant each week, disposing of
the product to a Menominee grocery
store.
The market gardener has large root
cellar especially prepared for the pur-
pose. Here fire is kept going in a stove,
and the heat therefrom is an active
agent in inducing the plants to grow,
which they do in most healthy manner.
The body is good and the flavor excellent.
Grown in the darkness, they are
bleached, instead Of being of the usual
green color.
One drawback developed by the ex-
pertinent thus far, however, is the fact
that the otherwise perennial root of the
plant dies after one years growth in the
cellar dollhouse, and new roots have to
be planted each fall This tends to
make the culture rather expensive, be-
sides increasing the amount of work
necessary to conduct it.

Strange Injuries bv Rails.

1t is well known that the tendency for
rails to creep OH trestles is frequently
very strong. A section crew of the Ter
minal railroad of st. Louis recently had
an unfortunate experience in removing a
rail from one of the elevated tracks of
that company.
The rails had been creeping and were
under heavy stress. One Of them had
buckled sidewise. and as the spikes were
withdrawn it suddenly few out of place,
breaking the limbs of three of the work
men, one of whom had both legs broken
just above the ankles. Still two other
members of the crew were injured so
seriously that they had to be taken to a
hospital.
A similar accident occurred on the
Union Pacific railroad some years ago.
In that case the rail sprang out of place,
striking the foreman and breaking his
legs.-Railway and Engineering Review.

too strenuous, but you can say all you like
about Irish politics. II you hear more of
Ireland than of Germany, don't feel obliged
to sing the Watch on the Rhine unless you
are willing to take the consequences. How
ever, when the proper time comes to sing
that song you'll find a lot Of harps in har-
mony."
