cut In proper condition for the INSTALL
alton and operation OF the maximum

chase and assemble the plant for con-
structlng the canal; to work out all
engineering problems; to perfect a
government and create system Of ac-
counts. and to formulate a prelimin-
ary plan for carrying forward the
work In each department.

RcHAR CULTIVATION.

Orchards are not secured in a day or
\ year. A crop of grain or grass may
occasionally be. taken from the land,
but it requires time to establish an
orchard; hence it is q serious mis-
take to neglect trees and allow them
to become diseased when the labor
Of making an orchard, and the loss OF.
time waiting for the trees to reach the
bearing stage, is considered. When
an orchard has become overrln with
weeds, OR the trees show signs Of de-
cay, the first work should be to u
away all dead or diseased limbs and
then plow the ground, applying ferfia-
tiers on the lard. Work In ar orchard
is difficult on account OF the tree
roots, but it should DO plowed occa-
sionaily il possible, so as to break up
the hard surface soil. Rye Or GRIM
son clover ma then be- seeded, 1t IN
the fall, and the ground plowed again
in the. spring, turning the rye under.
Cow peas may then be broadcasted on
the ground, after danger of frost Is
over, and, II desired, the COW peas
can be fed OF by sheep, as the AMI
mails will return a large proportion OF
the crop to the sell as manure. With
the application Of the manure or fer
tilizer the orchard may then be seeded
to clover, but no orchard should be
kept permanently In grass. The prop
er plan is to plow the clover Tor II
grass crop under, and then grow late
potatoes, cabbage, or some other crop
that is cultivated between the rows
and which requires manurirg. Peach
trees thrive best when given clean
cultivation. like corn, a crop Of any
kind sometimes doing harm. Clean
cultivation. with a mulch crop such
as rye, sowed in the fall aud turned
in the spring, is usually beneficial to
many orchards.--Philadelphia Record.

IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.

Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges-
ton than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says:
Until two years ago waf1es and
butter with meat and gravy were the
main features of my breakfast. Fin
ally dyspepsia cam. on and I found
myself in a bad condition, worse in
the morning than any other time. l
would have a full, sick feeling in my
stomach, with pains in my heart,
sides n head.
AT times l would have no ppe
tite for days, then l would feel raw
enOus, never satisfied when l did eat
and so nervous l felt like shrieking
at the top of my voice. / lost flesh
badly and hardly knew which way to
turn until one day / bought a box of
Grape-Nuts food to see il I could est
that. / tried it without telling the
doctor, and liked it fine; made me feel
as if l had something to eat that was
satisfying and still | didn't have that
heaviness that I had felt after eating
any other food.
Il hadn't drank any coffee then in
five weeks. I kept on with the Grape
Nuts anG in a month and 2 half l had
gained Is pounds, could eat almost
anything I wanted, didn't feel badly
after eating. and my nervousness. was
all gone. It's a pleasure to be well
again."

What it Was All About.

A Frisco Jap had a bid, all black
and tan, you know, and where other
children went that kid would want
to go. The chap he went to school
one day, and that was against the
rule; it made the white folks mad as
hops to see a Jap in school. They
CRASHED their teeth and tore THEN
hair, and gave an angry shout, and
rose as n man and seized that little
Jap and cast him bodily out. And
this, gentle reader, you understand
is what the row was all about.-An

Paris, Nov. 11.-Unless all signs
fail the count Boni DeCastellane has
succeeded in swinging the French
courts his way and when the verdict
is announced in the suit of his wife,
formerly Anna Gould of New York, on
Tuesday, next, it will not be a decree
of divorce but rather will be an order
for the appointment of a commission
to inquire into the allegations made
on both sides
When NJ. Bonnet, attorney for the
Count raised the point that the allie
cations made against the Count could
not be considered unless specific
names and places were proven he
threw a bomb into the camp of the
applicant for divorce that is likely to
be far reaching.

HE WANTS THIEF BADLY
Offers More for His Capture Than He
Does for the Recovery of
Stolen Horse.

G. O. Swank, a farmer, living six
miles northeast of Eaton, reported to
the police yesterday that horse had
been stolen from his barn Thursday
night and that all efforts to locate il
or the thief had been successful. He
could give no description of the thief
A reward of s25 for the return of the
horse and a re eward of $50 for the cap
ture of the thief IS offered by Mr..
Swank.
The stolen animal is fifteen hands
high about thirteen years old and a
trotter. Chief Bailey states that he
receives notices two or three times a
week OF stolen horses. Horse steal
ing is now almost as common in this
part of the country as it formerly Vas
in the western states before the lynch
law put stop TO the practice 1t is
probable that farmers horse thief de-
tectiye association will be formed in
this and neighboring counties.
