DRINK PLENTY
OF GOOD
PURE WATER
Try This at Home For Kidneys and
Bladder

"The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed a well-known authority.
"The number of cases of stomach
trouble, kidney and bladder diseases
and rheumatism are mainly due to
the fact that the drinking of water,
natures greatest medicine, has been
neglected.
Stop loading your system with pat
ent medicine and cure-alls; but get
on the water wagon. If you are real
ly sick, why, of course, take the
proper medicines-plain common
vegetable treatment, which will not
shatter the nerves or ruin the stom-
ach."
When requested for such a pre-
scription for the cure of rheumatism
and kidney trouble the answer was:
You must make the kidneys do their
work; they are the filters of the
blood. They must be made to strain
out of the blood the waste matter
and acids that cause rheumatism:
the urine must be neutralized so It
will no longer be a source of irrita-
tlon to the bladder, and most of ali,
you must keep these acids from
forming in the stomach. This is the
cause of stomach troubles and poor
digestion. For these conditions |
would suggest the following prescrip-
tion, which is composed of only veg.
etable ingredients, which can be OBJ.
tained from any good prescription
pharmacy. Any one can mix them
by shaking well in a bottle. Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com.
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. To be taken in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and at bed
time, but don't forget the water,
Drink plenty and often" This valu.

Bathroom Comforts.

A mat of perforated white rubber which prevents all danger of slipping in the tub and is easily kept clean. Two nickel hangers come with the mat, which prevents it from becoming creased.
 Glass shelves with nickel racks. with the glass fitting under two small clamps. Above the glass is nickel rim which lifts up, enabling the shelf to be removed and washed.
 Hooks whose branches are on re- volving rods, and when the door is opened they fold quite flat, thus pre- venting any scratching or breaking of tiles in the walls.
 The newest towel racks have rods of glass; with nickel supporters. 9th CTS of white enamel wood and nickel are also shown.
 Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes in nickel and enamel and are separate or combined with towel rods, tooth- brush holders and soap boxes.
 Pretty washable rugs, bath mats in every color imaginable and foot tubs are shown in bewildering variety.
 In brushes there are all shapes and varieties, designed for all manner of uses, but the most important are the Ilong-handled vault brush for cleaning and the equally long handled scrub brush for reaching that particular spot between the spine and shoulder blades, which no arm is long enough to rub.

 cannot recall those terrible days without the deepest emotion It was no longer the country In danger that kept my nerves strung up. but the suffer- ings of all her children. There were all those who were always fighting, those who were brought in to us wounded or dying, the noble women of the people, who stood for hours and hours in line to get the necessary dole of bread, meat, and milk for their poor litle ones at home An, those poor women. could see them from the the ater windows, pressing up close to each other, blue with cold, and stamping their feet on the ground to keep them from freezing, for that winter was the most cruel one we had had for twenty years. Frequently one of these poor, sil- ent heroines was brought in to me, either in a swoon from fatigue or half frozen.

 This map was hung where the pupiio could have access to it. and signals were first published by the floating of flags from the high tower of the insti- tuition. This was. the United States weather service 50 years ago. Since the civil war and the subsequent trans fer of the weather service, first to ehe signal corps of the army, and then as a separate bureau of the department of agriculture, the Smithsonian institution has superintended the compilation of valuable meteorological tables and pro- noted original studies 4n metecrology, such as those now conducted by Dr. Rotch.

 pr. Rotch has this year travelled in Europe, studying the methods and re- suits of foreign meteorologists In oo- tober, however, he proposes making further researches, assisted by his first hand knowledge of what others are do- ing along the same line.
 Since te study of meteorology as an organized science in this country was practically originated by the Slnithson- ian institution through it's first sec retary, Prof. Joseph Henry, 1t has been the policy of the institution to encour- age researches in this direction. The present secretary, Charles D. Walcott, has just signed further grant from the Hodgkins fund to aid in the con- tinuance of Dr. Roteh's investigations
 Here in brief is what the institution has done in meteorology: AS early as 1847, year after the founding of the institution, the board of regents, it's governing body. appropriated flor in- struments and other expenses connect ed with meteorological observations, $1,Oo0" Later, in connection with new ly-established semiofficial weather ser vlces," conducted by the navy depart ment and the patent office through hosts of correspondents, the Smithsonl- an institution became bureau for the diffusian of knowledge of the weather and of storm warnings. The most ef- feotive step In the development of the Smithsonian weather service, however, was taken in 1S49 by Secretary Henry. It was the securing from 8 number of telegraph companies. "at certain per iod of the day, the use of their wires for the transmission of meteorological intelligence"
 Says a government official of the adoption of this system:
 Such was the beginning of the tele- graphic weather service, and by means of these reports predictions of coming storms, with all recognized advantages to the country at large. were made pos sible. This service was continued until the disturbances of the oivil war"
 Several years later the idea of post ing an outline map of the country with weather symbols was put into effect, An old manuscript, written by Prof. Henry himself, speaks of it in these words: "The first pracrIoal application which was attempted of the principle we have mentioned was made by this institution in 1856; the information car ried by telegraphic dispatches in re- gard to the weather was daily exhibit ed by means of differently colored to- kens on map of the United States, so as to show at one view the meteor.

 Long before he reached home. the youth had made up his mind, He knew that he should never shoot his gun again. He had entered new phase of life. The desire to kill was no longer strong in him. The instinct of the hunter had left him forever.

Where the Doll Comes From.

Doll-mahing did not become con-
spicuous as an industry in the Thurinr
gian Mountains until the middle OF the
nineteenth century, when a citizen OF
Sonneberg brought from London a
doll which was regarded as a great
curiosity. 1t had come originally from
China, and its head, legs, and arms
were movable. This furnished an
inspiration to the ingenious Thurin-
gian toy-makers, who promptly Ina
proved upon it. Up to that time they
had made dolls only of wood and
leather. but soon they evolved the
wax hedd-at first crude article. the
wax being applied with brush, but
later brought to high perfection
thanks, 1t is said, to an accidentsl
discovery. A man engaged In making
the heads dropped thimble into his
pot of fluid wax, and. on taking it Out,
found it covered with smcclh and
beautiful coat of the substance. He
was not slow TO sieze the idea, the
result being the adoption of the dip
ping process. the final touches es
color being put on with camel's~
hair pencil. Later on the movable eyes
and closing lids, TO feign sleep. were
added. and the fleece of the Angora
goat was substituted for human hair
in the making of wigs. holding ~
color and curl much better. the doh.
as it is known today, thus assuming
its final and highly artistic form.
Dressing the dolls after they are
made has become an industry In
which numbers of women and girlS
are employed. For the small, inexpeFs
sive dolls, little chemises. finished
with a ruffle of lace around neck and
arms. are made by hundreds and re-
quire no skilled labor for their con
struction.-Rene Bache. in the Circle

Setting Out Fruit Trees

Many do not like fall sett ng, but
believe, from what experience and OBJ
servation have had, that it makes
little difference whether trees are set
in spring or fall, If you take care Of
the trees, says a writer in the Ohio
Farm Journal. | have seen orchards
set out in fall in which every one
lived, and others in which every tree
died. | prepare to set out few each
time and find there are some advan-
tage in fall plating. Some years ago
young orchard was set on this farm
in the fall. The land was in grass.
but was plowed and narrowed well be-
fore the trees were set Then the
trees were placed in hole of thin
mud to give the roots immediate
moisture. The holes were dug large,
and the tree set in, and some of the
top soil was placed around the roots,
when some water was poured In, aud
in short time the hole was filed up.
the best soil was put In the bottom OF
holes around the roots, and the clay
from bottom of hole was but on Top.
The entire surface of the orchard was
kept cultivated for several years ana
the trees did well. Another orcnart,
was set out at the same time with
trees from the same nursery, and to-
day there are only three or four trees
to mark the place. If you are not go
ing to look to the trees in the future,
better not spend the money for the
trees, or the TIME to set them.
We have more time to set the trees
In the fall. Many times Il we nave
trees shipped in spring, they will not
come quite so early as We would like,
and then when we get into the busy
work we have to stop a day and Sc,
them. THIS is one advantage Of hav-
ing them shipped in the fall. We can
have them come. and then either
heel until spring, when we can set
when we wish, and not have to wait.
or we can set the trees then as we
have more time to do ii right. | can
not see but what 1t is just as wen to
set in fall as spring and possibly in
many cases It is better, as most
nurserymen dig all stock in fall and

New Gas Engine Fuel.

Since the passage of the measure
providing for the removal of the in
ternal revenue tax on denatured al
cohol little has been done toward
bringing this fuel into the market as
a competitor of gasoline. So writes
Howard Greene in The Technical
World Magazine. AS matters stand
at present. alcohol is not in posi-
ton to compete with gasoline as a
fuel for interna, combustion engines.
Chief among the engineering rea-
sons for this state of affairs is the
fact that alcohol, vaporized and mixed
with air, burns slowly as compared
with the combustion of gasoline
vapor. To use alcohol advantageously
the engine speed must be low and
the compression high. Stationary mo-

A portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
which those who are familiar with it
believe to be very rare one, hangs up
on the walls of Lewiston law office,
says the Boston Globe. At all events
no one has yet been found who re-
members to have seen one just like it
among any of the very many of the
leading magazines of the country.
The picture is Autograph, evi.
IDENTIFY taken from crayon drawing,
nd shows Mr.. Lincoln as somewhat
younger man than the majority of his
portraits do.
Under it is a fac simile of his auto
graph, together with the words: Re
publican candidate for president,
1860" showing that it was ev IDENTIFY
used as a campaign portrait during the
campaign preceding his first election.
The portrait was obtained by the
late John Read, father of ia present
owner of it at Quincy. ILL.,, during that
campaign, but who took the original
from which it was made is unknown.

who saw it claimed to know some.
thing about it and said that it was
taken soon after the convention at
which Mr.. Lincoln was nominated, and
that the original photograph was
taken at the request of Mr.. Medill of
hicago, for campaign purposes. Fl
said further that when Mr.. Lincoln
went in to the photographers to sit
for the picture he had just come from
the barbar's and his hair was plastered
smoothly down upon his forehead, but
that. happening to catch sight of him
self In a glass, Mr.. Lincoln remarked
that no one would know him with his
hair so smooth as that and ran his
hands through 1t giving it the dis
heveled appearance Of the portrait
He said further that in making the
enlargement for the Autograph the
portrait was somewhat idealized and
much OF the natural ruggedness OF Mr..
Iincoln's features was smoothed out.
Whether this man was correct in his
belief as to the origin of the portrait
1T is undoubtedly true that it is con-
siderably idealized, as will be seen
from the copy, the portrait, while re-
tanning the essential features which
are so well known, nevertheless max.
ing him a far handsomer man than he
is currently reported to have been.
And yet Mr. Read, who had seen
him often as young man, always

and that It looked just as Mr. Lincoln
did at the time he made his famous
debates with stephen A. Douglas. on
oct. Is. 1858.
