Thousands Of American women
IN our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make lifea burden.

nected by small pipe. Wind or gaso-
line would work the pumps. He pre-
sents diagram of the idea.
Doubtless this would work quite
well, remarks Breeders Gazette. In
order to have a continuous flow of
water there should be two of these
reservoirs, and if above them there
was a separate reservoir for COM
pressed air, all the better, since the
windmill would not always operate.
The main difficulties are two: it is
costly to open a large we'll and most
modern wells are drilled ones, and air
is not real easy thing to pump with
a windmill, since a slow motion is
very wasteful in operating an air
pump. AS matter of fact, a great
deal of thought and experiment has
been expended on this and similar
problems, and thus far little use
seems to have been made of the idea.

BAD ITCHING HUMoR.
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw
Feet swollen-SIeep Broken
Cured in 2 Days by cuticura.

Some two months ago I had a hui.
NOR break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they itched and burned. They
were so swollen that l could not get
my shoes on for week or more. 1
used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching
less. For two or three weeks the suf-
tering was intense and during that
time 1 did not sleep an hour at time.
Then one morning 1 tried a bit of
Cuticura. From the moment it touched
me the itching was gone and 1 have
not telt a bit of it since. The swelling
went down and in two days l had my
shoes on and was about as usual.

DRAGGING ROADS.
Points Which Must Be Remembered
to Do Good Work.

The following points are to be borne
in mind in dragging a road:
Make a light drag, which is hauled
over the road at an angle so that a
small amount of earth is pushed to the
center of the road
Drive the team at a walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re.
turning on the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the
mud is in such condition as to stick
to the drag.
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea
sons of the year. If road is dragged
Immediately before a cold spell it will
freeze in a smooth condition.
The width of Travelled way to be
maintained by the drag should be
from is to 20 feet; first drag a little
more than the width of a single wheel
track, then gradually increase until the
desired width is obtained.
Always drag little earth toward
the center of the road until it is raised
from ten to twelve inches above the
edge of the travelled way.
Remember that constant attention
is necessary to maintain an earth road
in its best condition.-Wisconsin Geo.

If parents realized the fact that cot

is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before Civ

sips Of coffee. AS my parents used

knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
And so l contracted the coffee habit
early. l remember when quite young
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the

Lima Beans

Lima beans need a long season. By
this the pole Lima is meant. There
are bush Limas which grow more
quickly, but they are not productive.
1t does not need many hills of pole
Limas to supply a family and the
beans are delicious. The yield which
may be obtained by good treatment
is surprising. They may be started
early in cold frame by planting on
inverted sods, but this is not always
convenient way of doing. The cold
frame is needed for other purposes
and 1t is expensive to provide one for
this use alone.

Married in Gasoline Eloper.

Various Chicago couples have been
married on railroad trains, on boats,
on housetops, on roller skates and on
ice skates, in the water, and as many
more unusual places; but not long ago
DR.. G.. r. Churchill, Chicago dentist,
was married to Miss Lottie Andrews
while riding in an automobile, and has
attained the distinction Of having
been the originator of this latest
unique place of marriage.
1t happened year or so ago on a
crisp day in October. DR.. Churchill
had planned quiet marriage at the
home Of his favorite preacher. The
owner of 1865 was cast in the role of
best man. A run was made to the
clergyman's house, but to the chagrin
of the couple the minister was not at
home and would not be back for half
an hour. A spin over the bouleyards
was taken, and when the wedding
party rumbled up to the curb in front
of the clergyman's house it was found
they would not have time to go in
So the clergyman was called out to the
machine and the knot was tied from
the curb.

BEFORE DEMOCRACY WAS BORN.
country's Leanines to Aristocraey In
Washington's Time.

When Washington took the oath
of office Democracy was only name
in this country. and much-despised
name. Manhood suffrage was not seri-
ousiy considered. Properly cast, the
ballots held the Offices, and only the
more daring agitators protested
against it's domination. The aristc-
cratic wealth of the new nation openly
favored a monarchy with George
Washington for king, and the masses
we're yet further affronted by the or
ganization of "The Society of Cincin-
natl" a federation of the officers of
the revolutionary army. in which 1t
was provided that representation
should descend through the eldest lin,
cal male, thus preserving the hatred
rule of primogeniture. While the pop
ular suspicion of The Cincinnati was
unwarranted 1t still prevailed. and
was one of the factors which gave
impetus to Tammany and to the whole
Democratic and anti-Federalist move
ment.
