positions In the colored schools, the re-
port of Supt Chancellor on secret So

Always To Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morn
ing with dull headache and tired,
stretchy feeling. it is an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels, or
both are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest and
best of all doctors, takes this means to
give warning that she needs the help
and gentle assistance which can best be
obtained from that old family remedy,
Brandreth's Pills, which has been in
use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative tonic
pill your grandparents used, when doc
tors were few and far between and
when people had to have q remedy that
could absolutely be depended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

We are not the only ones who think
highly of wheat for laying hens. One Of
our contemporaries says: While grower
ave long recognized the value of wheat
or laying hens, attention has been re-
GENTLY accidentally called to its value as
an egg producer At the time we hauled
mr. wheat to the barn, the hens hadb
most ceased to lay The wheat was On
oaded from the wagon outside of the
arm, and the scatterings were picked up
tine hens. In few days the EGG pro
net increased from or 6 to IS or IS
nd SO continued for about two weeks.
I'D then again droffed off. Three weeks
alter the threshing was done, and the
hens access to the straw stacks, especially
mong the chaff that remained on and
near the ground. The result is about
two dozen eggs a day now. We have
taken the hint and are now feeding about
two quarts of low-grade wheat day
among the chaff in the scratching room
At that rate bushel will last about two |
weeks. The money value of the increase
s about 81 20 a week. "-Exchange.
