OF Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong. but great many
women, unfortunately. are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women Of today, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for q bottle Of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. II they would just get a
box Of Brandreth's Pills and take them
regularly every night for time, all
their trouble would disappear, as these
pills regulate the organs OF the femi-
nine system. The same dose has the
same effect, no matter how long they
are used.
Brandreth's Pills have been In use
for over a century and are sold in
every drug and medicine store. plain
or sugar coated.

Cure for Hoe Cholera.


After many years Of experimenting
for the cure Of hog cholera the De-
partment Of Agriculture has worked
out q method which gives promise Of
being an effective remedy. The meth
cd consists In the injection Of serum
fren the blood Of an immune hog, after
the immune has been treated similarly
with the serum from hogs affected with
the disease.
DR.. Marion Dorset, Of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry, who has worked out
the process, has had 1t patented in the
name Of the department and given the
invention without price to the coun.
try. In this way the possibility of any.
one monopolizing the new treatment
will be avoided. 1t Is estimated that
the money loss from hog cholera
reaches $15.0O0,OOo annually.

influence Of DehoPning.
Fourteen cows were subjected to the
tuberculin test BY the Wisconsin Sta
ton and then dehorned. The milk Of
these cows, as regards yield and CON-
position, was compared with the milk
Of cows dehorned but not tuberculin
tested, Of cows tuberculIn tested but
not dehorned, and Of COWS neither de-
horned nor tuberculin tested. The re-
suit showed on an average a decrease
Of about per cent in the yield Of
milk for the first few days after de-
horning, but loss of only about 2 per
cent In the yield Of butter fat De-
horning, therefore. increased the fat
content Of the milk .027 per cent. These
results are noted as being in accord
with the results of investigations at
other experiment stations which are
cited. The tuberculln test was appar-
emily without effect upon milk secre-
ton.

Of sugar and starch. At these esd.
