THE TEACHERS.

Prof. F. W. Rauch, principal for the
past two terms, deserves the highest
praise, for upon him the greatest re-
sponsibilIty lay. He is graduate of
Newberry College and has taught sue
cessfully for several years, and the
record he has made in Lexington
places him foremost among the best
educators in the south. 1t will be
learned with general regret that he
will not teach next session; on the
other hand, the announcement that
he will remain in Lexington and will
identity himself with Derrick's Drug
Store, will be hailed with genuine de-
light by his many friends.
Miss Mary Wingard, az first assis-
tant, has rendered valuable service
to the cause of education in Lexing-
ton for many years as teacher in the
institute, and the pupils in her de-
partment always make rapid progress.
This was Miss Carrie Corley's sec
ond year, and the. pupils advanced
rapidly. By her kind, yet positive
manner in dealing with the children,
she is a general favorite and they
fairly worship her.
Miss Rosalyn Shuler, of Selwood.
third assistant for two years, has won
the hearts of not only the children in

WAS WILLING TO FORGET.
Young Man Bore No Grudge Against
Proposed Father-in-Law.

That the young fellow had grit was
evident from the fact that his bust
ness, from nothing. had in a few years
begun to bring in a fairish income. He
made up his mind to get married. The
girl--although the daughter of a
pompous country resident--agreed
with him; but the father did not see
things in the same light.
What! Your" he yelled, angrily.
"You want to marry my daughter!
Why, it is only a few years since you
were c~addying for me-"
That's true!" interrupted the young
man, "but l don't intend to let that
stand in the way. The language you
then used was certainly a triffe-say
blue-tinted; but then you we're under
the influence of disappointment. After
all, you know, a very bad golfer may
make a very good father-in-law. Any
how, I'm going to give you a chance"

A little carrier suspended from an
overhead trcck runs behind the lows
and to a small shed just outside the
barn under which is the manure
spreader. The carrier takes the ma
nure from the stable and dumps it
In the spreader which stands on a
cement foundation that catches and
holds the liquid. BY having a water
tight gutter behind the cows and using
plenty of straw for bedding all of the
liquids are saved and returned to the
land.
A shed to hold the spreader can be
put up for $50 or less. 1t merely o

SKIM MINGS.

A farmer that has a well-kept dairy
of good cows is in a position to make
a certain living.
1t takes capital to run any business,
but the best capital a creamery can
have is plenty of raw material.
Do not fill the churn too full, and
e that the temperature is right. il
you expect the butter to come read
lily.
All flesh that the COW puts on when
dry becomes a deposit which will
be drawn out in an increased yield
of milk.
The Texas Farmer says: Those who
expect to lead in the dairy business
often find someone crowding them for
the same honor.
Are you taking good care of the
straw piles that the COWS may have a
comfortable bed to sleep on during
the coming winter?
Dairying is a science that is being
more thoroughly studied to-day than
ever before. 1t has in it a great deal
more than most people dream of.
Milk will command high prices this
winter; perhaps higher than it has
been for many years. Hence while put
ting away a supply Of feed don't fail
TO get plenty.

WHAT WAS 1T
The Woman Feared?

What q comfort to find it is not "the
awful thing" feared, but only chronic
indigestion, which proper food can re.

Il was troubled for years with indi.
gestion and chronic constipation. At
times l would have such a gnawing
in my stomach that l actually feared
] had al dislike to write or ever
think of what / feared.
Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts
! decided to try it. After a short time
i was satisfied the trouble was not
the awful thing / feared but was still
bad enough. However, I was relieved
of a bad case Of dyspepsia by chang
ing from improper food to Grape-Nuts.
"Since that times my bowels have
been as regular as a clock. ! had also
noticed before l began to eat Grape
Nuts that I was becoming forgetful of
where l put little things about the
house, which was very annoying.
but since the digestive organs have
become strong from eating Grape

POOR MAN AND POOR COW.
The Poorer the Man Is the Less He
Can Afford to Keep a Poor Cow.

No man who keeps cows for the
money there is in 1t is so rich that he
can afford to keep poor ones. The rich
fellow who goes into the dairy bust
ness for the satisfaction he can get
out Of 1t usually keeps the best cows
that money can buy. The poor man
who must depend upon his dairy for
his living and profit too often keeps
poor COWS because the better ones
aost more money. The rich fellow
could well afford to keep this kind,
but 1t is the most foolish kind of fool
ishness for the poor man to own such
cows. He is just the man who should
own the good ows. 1t Is impossible,
Of course. for him to buy the kind Of
COWS the rich fellow does, but this Is
not necessary or advisable. He can
build up a herd Of good COW from a
very few good mixers by using a
good dairy sire, and by studying the
individuality Of his herd. Just a little
improvement each year will do the
business.

BABY c n TERRIBLY.
SkIn-Doctors No AvaiI-Cured

my baby's face and neck were cov-

a year. l took her to a number Of doc
tors, and also to different colleges, to
no avail. Then Cuticura Remedies
were recommended to me by Miss c..
l did not use it at first, as l had tried
so many other remedies without any
favorable results. At last l tried Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and to my
surprise noticed an improvement.
After using three boxes Of the Cuti-
cura Ointment, together with the Soap
and Pills, l am pleased to say she is
altogether a different child and the

Fall Planting Of Spinach.

Spinach IA be produced almost
any time during the year and finds
ready sale. 1t should be sown in
September for the early spring crops.
Fall sown spinach is available during
the winter months. The soil should be
made very rich, using the best Of
compost quite freely. The yield is
largely increased by a to%p-dressing of
poultry manure. Plant7i in drills one
foot apart, using seed very freely, IL
to is pounds per acre and firming 1t
thoroughly. Keep the weeds out and
the soil well cultivated. Thin in late
October II to be used or sold. The
main crop usually winters over with
out loss. but In exposed locations
should be lightly covered with coarse
litter OF leaves.

WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted In Her
4 Endorsement Of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most Of
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was n
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
a trial sermon, and all, In the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along a
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
THE reason I am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, "is because he
has the right kind Of a wife for a
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. l found out a long
while ago-shortly after I was mar
ried myself, in fact-that a man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents 1t on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
We won't hear a peep out of him"
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation really did give
the man a call. According to last &C
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.

One of the greatest triumphs Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the c%onquering of woman's
dread enemy Tumor.
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently it's presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from its early stages OF the
presence Of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri
DDS accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, If
there are indications of Inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con.
vince every suffering m Of its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.

TUM0RS %C0NQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

treatment for a long time without
relief. They told me l had a fibroid
tumor, my abdomen was swollen and
l suffered with great pain. / wrote
to you for advice, you replied and l
followed your directions carefully and
to-day / am a well woman. Lydia E.

PEELED the tumor and strengthened my
whole system"
Mrs. s. j. Barber, of Scott, N. Y,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Sometime ago I wrote you for
advice about q tumor which the doc
tors thought would have to be removed.
Instead / took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and to-day am a
well woman"
Mrs. NJ. M. Funk, v~andergrift, Pa,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
81 had a tumor and Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound removed
it for me after two doctors had given
me up. I was sick four years before I
began to take the Compound. / now
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget-
able Compound far and near"
Such testimony as above is con
vincing evidence that Lydia Il Pink
hams Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for Tumor
Growths as we'll as other distressing
ills of women, and such symptoms as
Bearing-down Sensations, Displace-
ments, Irregularities and Backache,
etc. Women should remember that it
is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women.

something else which he calls "just
