BLOOD CLEANER
A GOOD HOME MADE REMEDY
SAID TO MAKE THE KIDNEYS
FILTER OUT THE IMPURITIES.

You will look a long time before
you will find more effective blood
medicine than the following recipe:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-haIf
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces. Shake well and use I'm tea,
spoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime.
1t cleans the blood OF all impu-
rites and nourishes the blood. In
just few days the skin begins 20
clear OF sores. bolls and plmples.
l. puts vigor and nsrgy into run
down, debilitated men and women
For many years Sarsaparilla alone
has been considered a good blood
medicine. But while II built up and
made new blood. the impurities re-
manned within and the good accom-
plished was only temporary. sarsa-
paril'a, however, when used In com
bination with Compound Kargon
ana Extract Dandelion. works won
ders. This combination puts tho
kidneys to work TO filter and sift
out the waste matter. uric acid
and other impurities that cause dis
ease. II makes new blood ana ro-
lieyes rheumatism and lame back
and the bladder trouble.
The ingredients cost bu. little
and are easily mixed at home Ey
cry man and woman here shoufd
make some up and try it ~ they feel
their system requires good bIooi
medicine and tonic.

VANDERBILT WAS SEVENTY
BEFORE HE MADE HIS FORTUNE

CBurton j. Hendrick in McClu-e's
Magazine for Novembero
The Vanderbilt fortune, once the
greatest financial power in he Uni
Ted States, probably amounts, at the
present time, to not far from $780,
100000. OF this, William Kisham
vanderbilt, who controls he major
ity of the family properties, holds
in the neighborhood OF 100000
600, while tw I've or fifteen descen J.
ants of the Commodore share among
themselves the remaining 100000
600.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact
In the whole remarkable career OF
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt
$ That he did his really important
work and heaped up mis- enormous
fortune after he was seventy years
Old He was born in 1894. and al
most all his energies, until the out
break OF the Civil War, had been
absorbed in the management of his
numerous steamship and steamboat
lines.
Cornelius Vanderbilt when run
ming his steamboats, up and down
the Hudson river, had felt keelly
the competition of the railroad
along its eastern shore. Later de-
'elopments led him clearly to per-
'eive, what most of his contempo-
rGries saw only family. that trans
portation in this country would fol-
low the line, not OF the canal and
he river, but OF the Steel rail. AS
soon as ne had caught this glimpse
Df the future, Vanderbilt character
stlcally acted upon it. Fifty years
before, foreseeing the possibilities
Of steam travel by water, he had
sold his whole sailing fleet and par
chased steam boats; acting Just as
promptly now. he sold all his water
craft and began purchasing rail-
roads.

the West Virginia Experiment StatiSi.
last year conducted some careful tests
to determine whether it is profitable to
feed milk COWS grain on grass. With
out going into the details of these ex-
periments we quote the conclusions as
follows:
This experiment clearly shows that
there was no direct financial gain in
feeding the grain TO the cows while at
pasture. 1t Is true that the cows
which received grain were uniformly
in somewhat better flesh than those
that did not receive grain, but as far
as the milk yield was concerned the
increased flow was produced at an &C
tual loss" Data obtained in similar
experiments at other stations are sum-
married., and from these In comparison
with their own investigations the au-
thors conclude that unless dairy prod
ucts are especially high in price it Is
not a profitable practice to feed grain
to cows at pasture. 1t is true that more
milk is obtained and the cows hold VI
their yield better and remain in bettel
flesh when receiving the grain rations
but under ordinary circumstances Their
is no direct profit from the grain feed
ing, as the increased production usual
ly costs more than 1t can be sold for
