Happenings i'm Missouri.
Its Poor Well Cared For.

Barry county has, 1t is asserted,
the most complete and modern poor
farm building in the state OF Missouri
and probably no other county in all
the country takes more pride in the
care and comfort Of its unfortunate
than does Barry. The farm Is stu
ated just at the edge of the town OF
Cassville, and the building stands or
hill which overiooks a wide ex'
panse of country The building is OF
brick, two stories in height, and with
a we'll kept lawn surrounding it. The
building is heated by steam and light
ed by electricity, Modern arrange
ments as regards baths and lavatories
are found on each floor. The building
was erected in 1905 at 4 cost of S7,21C
but in spite of its comforts few OF
the county's poor are to be found
there, most of those unable to care
for themselves being given homes by
relatives.

HOMEMADE REMEDY
INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE-.
PARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve 6ackaehe
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness Though Harm
less and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving q simple prescription, as formu.
lated by a noted authority, who claims
that he has found positive rem
edy TO cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment, in the following simple prescrip-
tion, II taken before the stage OF
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hat
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well.known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy
or the mixture would be put up il
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as 1t has peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or.
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those who suffer
can make no mistake in giving it a

seven years had been cured Of the

fortnight later by furious itching and

She suffered a great deal and for three

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream Of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is a well
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Relnbold, the expert German chemist,
In a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream Of
Tartar powders. He says that If the

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps In Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest In
everything that goes on in the world
is well known, but few are aware OF
the trouble he takes to keep In touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas OF all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that OF the interior, has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
naE.ed and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperor's perusal.
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are ttfen scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer.
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.

Folk to obtain back salary as circuit
attorney of st. Louis at the rate of
$4,000 a year he contended was due
him. the governor will receive in back
pay from the city of St Louis s2,052,
instead OF the s5,S33 for which he
sued. During the term of office Of
Circuit Attorney Folk the salary was
increased from $4,000 annually to
$4,000 by the legislature. City Coun-
selor Bates decided that the circuit
attorney could not profit by an act
raising the salary of the office during
his incumbency. Folk refused to ac-
cept any of his salary thereafter and
later filed suit to recover back salary
at the increased figure.

White River Boats a Success.

The success that attended the two
trial trips of the boat recently built
for the navigation of the White river
as far up the stream as Forsyth
has been such that another boat has
been added to the river traffic, and it
is reported that probably two others
will be constructed for the work. The
feasibility of such line is no longer
an experiment, but has been a tinan-
cial success. The territory tributary
to the White river as far north as
Forsythe lacks modern facilities for
handling the output of the territory,
and the effort to utilize the waters of
the White river was a matter of ne
cessity to a large and growing section
of Missouri and Arkansas.
