1t should not be styled business. but
merely phase of good management,
when the wife has place for every
thing In the house and adheres TO the
practice OF seeing that everything In
the house is put in its place and when
the man OF the house has things so
ordered in the tool house, granary
and barn that he can go in the
dark and put his hands on the thing
he wants. Habits of orderllness like
these do not come by chance. but are
the result of deliberate thoughtfulness
and careful attention. There Is little
question that in dlsorderly households
days are spent every year in chasing
and looking here and there for things
that could be got at once had they def
mite places and were they kept in
them. Have place for everything
and put everything in its place" may
be somewhat hackneyed phrase, but
there are both time and money In the
observance OF the suggestions which 1t

An article in n recent issue OF

writer makes the suggestion that II
was more likely the bogus note fea-
ture and swlndle that was perpetrated
In the sale OF the rods than worthless
rods and fixtures that gave lightning
rods the bad name which they have
today. Figures given show that in the
case Of one Michigan mutual insurance
company 60 per cent of the losses sus-
tanned on farm buildings were caused
by lightning, while $3.50 was all that
the company had ever paid out I'm dam

Melon growers in different sections
are this year complaining OF serious
damage by the melon louise, which de-
velops from egg to mature insect in a
very short period OF time and whose
ability to multiply is therefore very
great. These lice congregate In large
numbers on the upper and lower sides
of the vines, sucking the juice out OF
the leaves TO such an extent that they
are greatly retarded I'm growth or are
Killed outright. Vines that have been
ruined by the lice should be burned at
once, while their attacks on those re-
naming may be checked by the appli-
cation OF kerosene emulsion spray.
which Is only partially effective be-
cause of difficulty in reaching the I'M
derside of the leaves. Where the lice
have appeared In fields, but not in suf-
ficient numbers to do serious damage,
1t Is well to gather all the vines as
soon as the crop is gathered and burn
them. This will destroy insects and
eggs in large numbers.

Other things being equal, farmer
will do the best with the kind of live
stock that he likes the best. One man
we know Is especially fond of horses,
likes to be around where they are and
almost always makes nice profit
when he handles them. Another takes
especial pride In some thoroughbred
hogs, and he manages with them so
well that he makes n good margin of
profit with them above what he could
make with dairy cows. Another we
know, to use his own words, would
rather milk than eat" which is n guar
antee that he does well with his dairy.
II one has an inclination along any OF
these lines, pleasure and profit will
usually attend the efforts he may put
forth in following his preference.

1t Works Rapidly,

The action Of Kuhns Rheumatic Remedy, 4
dollar bottle of which is offered free to every

about. 1t begins its work Immediately upor
its introduction into the stomach and ther
works rapidly to effect a cure. There is real
benefit in every dose and benefit frequently Is
noticed by the sufferer from the very first
dose taken.
This is in marked contrast to nearly every
other advertised rheumatic treatment. many
Of which require a six months course Of medi
cine, assisted by the most rigorous CO
operation in the way of diet, ETC., which taxes
the patience of the sufferer to the utmost
rendering life almost a hardship and FIRE.

constant effort
This Remedy speedily manifests its powers
in the dlminution of the pain in the parts
affected, but this is but the beginning of Its
work. Plasters, liniments, etc, may easily
reduce Inflammation and ease pain, but this is
not CURING Rheumatism, and kuhns Rheuma-
tic Remedy Is a real cure and not merely a
RELIEF. While easing the pain 1t attacks
its cause fighting 1t always with dose after

Patients, bedridden, unable to move either
walk in seven days time return to work in
fourteen days, and report an entire and perma-
nent cure after six weeks use. Its claim to
rapid work Is not mere theory, but the real,
over again by the experience of those who use
it. Kuhn's Rheumatic Remedy needs but little
newspaper advertising Those who use 1t, who
are delighted while amazed at the rapidity of
its cures, speak its praise far more eloquently
and effectively than could columns of news

Kubn's Rheumatic Remedy the proud place It

ANSWERS TO
CORRESPONDENTS.

w. F. G., Chelsea, Mass. asks: 1.
What year were Spenser. Cromwell and
Small hung al the yard-arm of the brig
Somers, Capt. Mackenzie, on the Afri-
can station? 2. Did the U. 8. s. Ore
gon, on her trip from the Pacific to
come thru the Magellan Straits or
around Cape Horn?
1. According to c xcellent authority,
Mackenzie, while in command of the
brig Somers. discovered the existence
of a mutinous plot on board Of his ves-
sci, the principals of which were imme-
diately placed in close confinement A
council of officers was called, which
after careful investigation recon-
| mended the execution at once of the
three young officers who were princi-
pally implicated. This recommended
ton was carried into effect at sea Dec.
1, 1912. The Somers soon afterward
arrived in New York, when a court Of
inquiry was Immediately ordered to in
vestigate the affair. The result was a
full approval Of the conduct of Mac
kenzie. Subsequently court-marial
was held upon him at his own request,
| and the trial again resulted in his ac-
quittal. 2. According to contemporary
records the Oregon was in San Fran
cisco at the beginning of the War with
Spain, and she was ordered to proceed
around Cape Horn and join the Atlantic
squadron.
J. A. l., Rochelle. Tex, asks Has a
monument been erected to the memory
of John Brown; If SO, where and by
whom?
There is a monument to John Brown
at Osawatomie, Kan, and also there is
memorial stone over his grave at
North Elba. N. Y.

gress about old soldiers being exempt

J. McF., Los Angeles, Cal, asks:
What is the value of $40 gold pieces of
1847 and 1919?
Dealers in coins offer no premium
for the eagles of 1s47 and 1s49.
e. s. NJ, Youngstown, o., asks:
What country has the heaviest rainfall,
and what part of the United States has
the greatest variation in rainfall and
temperature?
At Cherapoonjee, India, the records
show an annual downpour of 592
inches; at Maranhao. Brazil, 2S0 inches
Lima, feru, and ThebeS, Egypt, are
practically rainless. In the State of
Washington the rainfall is about six
inches in the central part. while at the
mouth of the Strait Of Juan del Fuca
it is over 100 inches. The widest range
of temperature is recorded at the
Havre (Mont.) Station, where the heat
went to 110 degrees above zero and the
cold SO below. Central Florida and
southern California have perhaps the
most uniform temperature, but in the
former the rainfall is more evenly dis
tributed.

N. Y. has quite pleasant story of
Dennis w. Hickey, who served in the
Harris Light Cavalry, of which Gen.
fitzpatrick was the Lieutenant-ColoneL
Comrade Hickey was mere boy when
he enlisted. and his greatest exploit was
in June. 1864, when he was with Gen.
Wilson's expedition to cut the railroad
south OF Richmond. The detachment
was sharply pursued, and it became
necessary to destroy a bridge to arrest
the pursuit. Hockey was at that time
Sergeant in command of the rear guard,

rades whom he took with him, rushed
to the bridge and destroyed it under a
heavy fire from the enemy. Several

and Serg't Hockey was the last man
that left the work. He was shot down
as he reached the opposite bank, and
