THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK
Many Dallas Readers Find Toll A
Daily Burden.

The heavy tax of overwork-the strain
upon the back that is so common t.
many trades and occupations, is %,
great. The kidneys begin to fail in Il cir
work, and there is double danger to
health. The poisonous matter collects
in the system, and the kidneys them
selves begin to break down. Pain in
the back is only warning of trouble in
the kidneys. An inflammation has set
in, and disordered condition of the
urine soon becomes apparent. Too
much or too little urine, with constant
desire to void the secretions any notice.
able deviation from the normal color ;
the appearance Of a sandy sediment,
proves a disordered condition of the kid
neys that needs quick attention. If
your work seems hard for you, if you
have lame, weak or aching back, if
you seem tired and listless, and seem to
be running down without apparent
cause, begin at once with Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the great kidney remedy that
has cured so many of your neighbors.
1t has given thousands of working men
and women strong, sound backs for
their daily work.
Home proof is convincing evidence of
the efficiency OF Doan's Kidney Pills.

maggots may be discovered in the
manure. A few may do no percepti
bic harm, but a large number will cal

thread to develop single mushroom
MANY kinds of insects are apt TO
swarm In warm cellars. together with
the egg laying varieties which cause
the maggots. regardless of foul air
which may often accumulate and
which is an injury to the mushrooms.
In each succeeding bed in large Gel
lars insects follow up the new beds
and become more vigorous. A high
temperature such as we had last fall
is conducive to their continued exist
ence in summer garb. A good crop,
however. can be secured in spite of
them when the houses are kept at all
times cool.
When mushrooms are grown In glass
houses the return pipes are best run
under the walks. In the usual way
of heating, where the pipes run under
the benches, paper placed over the
beds will be found beneficial as pro-
tector from excessive heat and drying.
With good, vigorous spawn, properly
compost and care about the
of heat and moisture, a
good crop is positive certainty.
There are garden crops equal to If not

dispense with much that Is necessary
in our old country. But, all the same,
think the fruit might be benefited If
you did some of the things that every
French grower does. France is the
country Of detail, you know, and we
think it pays in fruit growing just as
1t does In cooking.
"The fruits we pet and pamper most
are the peach and the grape. The ma
jority Of peaches grown in this coun
try would seem to Frenchman to be
distinctly Of the second order-that Is,
in the language of his fruit culture, a
peach de pleln vent or one grown on
trees in an orchard Between peaches
grown thus, open to the wind and
those trained on trellises against walls
the French make a sharp distinction.
1.-THE trCllls, or 'espalier,' peaches
are the only ones that appear on a
carefully regulated table and are uni
versally cultivated. They always com
maud much higher price than the
tree peach, and at Montreull the fruit
has been brought to such perfection
that they habitually sell for from 40 to
80 cents apiece.
even more elaborate Is the proce-
dure with fine table grapes. Hothouse
grapes are not highly In favor among
French eplcures, for they are held TO
lack the rich flavor Of the fruit grown
In the open. At the same time grapes
nre 80 much in demand as a table
dellcacy that 1t is desirable that their
season should be prolonged as far as
possible into the winter The difficulty
of this situation has been met by
system which, complicated rs 1t is, is
quite generally in use.
"The grapes are grown on trellises
exposed to the sun and six or seven
yards apart, like the peaches. When
the clusters are ripe they are put with
the stem and leaves in sort of glass
box or bottle, which is placed In

birds cannot eat hairy caterpillars, but
they are a choice delicacy to the
cuckoo, which slips quietly through the

DWARF APPLES.
They Will Be Grown on Account Of
Their Convenience.

They Will Be Grown on Account oi
Their Convenience.
G. T. Powell Of Columbia county, N.
Y, has been conducting some interest
ing experiments on the value of dwarf
apple trees in business orchards 1t is
the idea Of Mr.. Powell that trees of a
low habit of growth will be required
more and more because of the need OF
convenience for spraying and harvest
ing. The scale insects make 1t almost
impossible to thoroughly treat large
trees, and the cost of labor makes
saving at harvesting time of great i'm
portance.
Two styles Of dwarf trees are under
trial. The SO called Paradise is very
dwarf and is short lived. The Doucin
stock Is half dwarf, making trees six
teen to eighteen feet high, and prom
| ises good results in commercial or
charding. The trees are planted two
or three inches below the union of
stock and top. In Mr., Powell's or
chard the trees of Paradise stock are
set as filters between those Of the lar
ger dwarf kind. The rows in the Or
chard are twenty feet apart and the |
trees ten in row. The wide spaces
between the rows allow plenty Of room
for cultivation by horsepower, while
the trees In the rows will be thlnned
out as soon as they become crowded
The dwarf trees give fruit in a few
years from planting, and the amount
gradually increases. The small dwarf
kind lasts six to eight years and the
semidwarfs for about twenty years.
For dwarf trees the Spitzenberg, Jona-
than and Mcintosh are found success
full They produce fruit of very fine
appearance and quality, suitable for
packing in boxes for the choicest trade.
For the half dwarfs the Northern Spy,
Roxbury Russet, Twenty Ounce, Astra-
khan, Baldwin and Greening are salts
factory. ,
The dwarf trees must receive good Z
culture, with plenty Of plant food and I
,areful cultivation. The soil is plowed Z
md narrowed In the spring and is kept
n cover crop Of clover during the
summer. Scale and other Insects are
,asily treated in the dwarf orchards.
rhe idea appears SO promising to Mr..
Powell that he is pruning his larger
rees on the dwarf plan, cutting back
he tops Of the standard trees in order
o cause them to spread out and to re-
move the high parts of the tree, which
make so much difficulty in spraying
i'd trees.

COST OF FOOTBALL.
Public Puts Up Something like $1,000.
900 Il Year for Game,


Although the season is comparative
" short, 1t is estimated that the public
puts up something like $4,000, 900 a year
TO see the various college athletes do
battle on the sridiron.
That seems a fabulous amount to any
one not familiar with the inside deal
ings of college football, but it really is
a conservative estimate. In the east all
the games draw from 5000 to 100000
and the price OF the seats ranges any
where from 81 to ST. Yale always re-
ceives over $4,000 as its share of the
b Yale Harvard game.
Despite the immense amount of
money taken in at the gates, practically
none Of the colleges, except the big
ones in the cast or west, do any bet
ter than break even. The expense con-
nected with preparing a football squad
is a big item
The manager of the Yale eleven last
year estimated that at least 100000 was
paid out preparing the team for the
final big struggles of the year. The
head coach at Yale receives $1,000 for
his short term of work, while all his
assistants get a nice salary. and there
is generally Il small army at any of the
big schools
The training table at Yale costs $500
4, week, and each one of the many doc
tors gets $1,000 81 year for looking after
the athletics injuries. Trainer Mike
Murphy OF the University of Pennsyl-
vania. who looks after all of PENIS
athletes, gets $500 year. While none
Of the other trainers get as much, all
Of them get fancy salaries.
