Lame Back Prescription.

Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the increased use of whlskey for
lame back rheumatism. 1t Is an al
most infallible cure when mixed with
certain other ingredients and taken
properly. The following formula is
effective: ITO ono-half pint of good
whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com
pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa-
rflla Compound. Take in tablespoon
full doses before each meal and before
retiring"
Toris Compound Is a product Of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Chicago, but 1t as we'll as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.

Now for Airship Laws.

If the various aero clubs are sue.
cessful next year sky sailing will be
regulated by statute. Navigators
of balloons and aeroplanes will be
forced to qualify in meteorology,
chartmaking, air currents, expansion

cloud lodging. The endowment OF
chairs in our leading universities may
soon be confidently expected, and the
B. A. degree will stand for proficien-

clare a perpetual close ceason for bal

Look Out for the Drains.

In every house there is of refuse
material large amount. On washing
days many gallons, often barrels, of
water in which our clothing has been
washed, and which contains all the
filth that the skin has thrown off dur
ing the week, must be disposed Of
AS a rule, it is thrown into a drain,
which is, perhaps, covered only by a
board, and carried only a few feet
away, when it forks into the ground
or spreads out and evaporates into
the air. If the soil is pervious, it may
soak into it and some of it eventually
find its way into the well.-Weekly

Mr.. William F. Vahlberg, Oklahoma

"One bottle of Peruna which / have

best physicians.

only tried Peruna as last resort.
II shall continue using it, as | feel sat
isied it will effect an entire and per-
Hndnent cure.
81 most cheerfully recommend Peruna to
all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last resort,
Doctors have been tried and failed, Other
remedies have been used, Sanitariums
have been visited. Travel has been re-
sorted to-.
AT last Peruna Is tried. Relief is found.
This history is repeated over and over
again, every day in the year, 1t is such re-
suits as this this give Peruna its unas-
sailable hold upon the people. We could
say nothing that would add force to such
testimonials as the above. That people
who have had catarrh and have tried
every other remedy available, find relief in
Peruna, constitutes the best argument that
could be made.

Jan Insect Kills Gypsy Moths.

One of the most promising enemies
of the gypsy moth is small parasite
brought from Japan. This little insect
lays it's eggs on the caterpillars. The
young hatch and burrow into the cat
erpillar, soon causing its death. The
young insects then attack other cater
pillars in the same way, destroying
large numbers. According to Secre-
tary Kirkland, the Japanese insect
seems to be firmly established and
promises good results by another
season. In Japan the gypsy moth is
successfully held in check by the par
asite, and it is not too much to hope
that it will do as well in this coun-
try.--American Cultivator.

Pure Bred Fowls.

Some think that by crossing pure

cross.Rred, Jersey-Ayrshire Cows.

Which is the best COW for farm and

rience would go to show that the grade
Jersey is essentially the farmers COW,
an act widely appreciated. The mark
of the Jersey is now noticed on every
hand in the beautiful and picturesque
colors and graceful forms of the cows
seen grazing in the meadows and dot
ting the pastures. No other COW Is so
easily kept, or more docile, or gives
a richer return in butter for the food
consumed than the grade Jersey. But
something depends upon the cow from
which the grade is raised. Unless the
dam of the COW is a copious mixer,
and is able to transmit this quality to
her progeny, the principal end sought
In the crossing is missed. The Ayr
shire is the most prolific milk COW.
For large yields and for easy keeping
she is unsurpassed. To cross the
Ayrshire COW with a well selected
Jersey bull, ought to give the best
dairy COW that can be readily pro-
duced. The large milk yield of the
Ayrshire is united with the large
cream yield of the Jersey, and we
have all we can procure in the way
of the Jersey, multiplied by the excess
of the yield of the Ayrshire-Weekly

coffeyviIIe Custer Suits.

Two custer suits were filed in the
supreme court by Attorney General
Jackson against Mayor J. H Wilcox
and against the city of Coffeyville.
Because of the practice of collecting
license money from the jointists in
the form of fines, the attorney gem
eral asks that the court GUST Mayor
Wilcox from Office and issue an custer
against the city forever prohibiting
it from exercising such unauthorized
powers. The two suits are similar.
except that one refers to the city and
the other to the mayor. They are
also similar to the custer suits
brought against the cities of Junction
City, Pittsburg, Wichita, Atchison and
Leavenworth and their mayors The
attorney general charges in the suit
against Mayor Wilcox that since he
has been in Office he has continuously
and purposely violated and neglected
the duties of his Office. It charges
that he has co-operated with other
city officials to license gambling
houses and saloons; that he has CO.
operated to collect a tax from these
unlawful businesses. 1t also charges
that he has entered into agreements
with certain jointists and gamblers
under which they pay money to the
city and are given protection in re-
turn. The attorney general further
charges that Mayor Wilcox not only
refuses to aid the county attorney
in securing evidence against the VIC
lators Of the law and in securing wit
nesses against them, but that he will
hot permit the jointists and gamblers
to be prosecuted. 1t is charged that
this condition has existed since he
went into office, early in the present
year.

Credit Given Teachers.

Credit for great part of the wave
of law enforcement which has swept
over the state was given the teachers
of the schools and educational insti-
tutions by Fred S. Jackson, attorney
general of Kansas, in his address of
welcome at the opening session of the
18th annual gathering of the State
Teachers association in Topeka. At

relation: There is SO much SINH

sisting in the administration of the
laws of the state that / feel 1 shall

words in that line. In fact l do not
hesitate to say that no inconsiderable
part of that wave which, regardless
of church, or creed or politics has
swept over the state and nation de-
handing a just and efficient enforce
ment of all laws, had it's origin in the
school rooms and educational institu-
lions of the country. 1T was the
school teachers of Chicago who insist
ed that the corporation of that city
should pay their just proportion of
the taxes, and the result has aroused
the industrial and administrative con-
science of the land.

HE Cor THE CHICKEN.
Old Soldier Tells How He Kept Hi,
Word with the German.

In the following yarn" which am
about to relate .fess up to stealing
a chicken. says an old soldier in Ma
tional Tribune. Marvel not when tell
you that it was the only chicken that
1 stole during my four years serv-
Ice I reckon the soldier who in war
times would have stood still and al
lowed a chicken to come at him and
bite him would have been regarded as
a rare curiosity. But for my story:
One day, in the summer of 1864,
while we were in camp a little way
back from the depot at Kingston, Ga,
I called upon my good friends, a de-
tachment of Dutchmen, who occupied
neat little shanty near the railroad.
From the appearance of their quar-
tiers and surroundings they had been
there long enough to have things
fixed up in a very attractive style; for
instance, the cat lying on the rug. the
dog doing at the threshold and the
flock of chickens picking up crumbs
in the dooryard gave the place a very
homelike appearance. / will explain
here that while I was not entitled to
wear the insignia of that rank, yet
among my comrades 1 was dubbed
Major" OF course, I noticed the
chickens, and marveled that they had
thus far escaped the clutches of GER
tain nearby predatory parties that /
wot of, remarking to my friends that
those chickens must roost mighty
high. ooh, no; not so ferry HIGH" they
informed me, showing me an oak
bush near the door; deere ees we're tay
roosts." 1 then told them that we ex-
pected to receive marching orders in
few days, but before we leave l
said loosely, '1 promise you that i
will steal one of those chickens" And
then with one accord they replied,
'All rigid, Machor; eef you kin kit
away NIT Won of tenn shickens you ish
Welcome to it,"
Not long after this, when my com
pany marched to Resaca, I was left
