WHERE PAT DREW THE LINE.
Patient and Long Suffering, But No
Man with Face Like That Could
Work with Him.

Pat had been at work for three days
digging a well, and as the foreman
wanted it finished within the week he
had promised Pat another man to
help him. 1t was getting on for II
o'clock. and Towser, the foreman's
bulldog, was looking over the edge of
the pit, when Pat said to himself,
"Smoke-o."
He had just filed his pipe, and was
about to light it when he glanced up
and beheld Towser's handsome fea-
lures.
Slowly removing the pipe from his
mouth, he said: SBe-e-egorra, Owe
worked wild Germans and Hengar-r-
rians, and Owe worked wild Oital-
ians and naygers, but if a man wild a

FOUND IN RUINS OF MEMPHIS
Prof. Flinders Petrie Has Brought to
Light Many Secrets of That
Ancient City.

From beneath the overburden Of
earth and rubbish which has been &C
cumulating for ages, Prof Flinders
Petrie. in his first year of work of
excavating the ruins of Memphis, has
laid bare many Of the secrets of that
great city of ancient glory, which un-
til his explorations began had been
more completely hidden than those
OF any other city of the distant past
The focus of the city was the great
temple of Ptah, or Hephestos, and the
sacred grove, or Ternenos, which in
closed it. The massive wall which
surrounded the temple was traced
piece by piece, although but a single
corner was above ground. all the rest
being buried to a great depth by
debris of every description.
Evidences OF the pillaging hand of
Rameses were visible everywhere.
Some OF the sculpture revealed was

Only Sure Cure for TubercuoIsis.

In view of the constant agitation
and Misrepresentation with regard to
the treatment of consumption, the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis has issued
a statement in which it states that the
only sure cure for this disease is fresh
air, rest and wholesome food. Hardly
a week passes without some quack
doctor or eminent specialist in
forming the public that he has at last
discovered the sure cure for tubercu-
losis. After examining every one of
these so-called cures, several hundred
in number, the National association
states that, one and all, they are mis-
representations or fakes.

Experiments in Germany go to show
that airships are likely to be less dan
gerous in war than many enthusiasts
had anticipated. In fact, from latest
reports the danger would seem to be
the other way. A Berlin dispatch
asserts that it is almost impossible
for dirigible balloons to escape the fire
of field pieces and rifles. The ships
cannot rise high enough or make suf-
ficient speed to get out OF range. New
and improved artillery makes the
chance of escape still less. And the
fate OF an enemy in an airship hit by
shells or balls from hostile weapons
may be better imagined than de-
scribed. Until aviation shall be brought
TO greater perfection the airship in
war promises to be a negligible guam
tity.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink liz

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
1 should want good, hot cup of cot
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and 1 could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking l became a nervous wreck
and thought that 1 simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
1 was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave OF coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
81 began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the Ianguid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but I
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally I began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use of Postum now feel like a
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since I left on coffee"

Effect of Potato Imports.-In the
face OF heavy importations of potatoes
from England, prices grow firm. An
analysis of the situation indicates that
a shortage of 80 900, 900 bushels in the
crop compared with last year is not
likely to be overcome by importations,
says Farm and Home. Receipts from
abroad, however, may cause some cas-
ing of in prices from time to time
Counteracting the heavy imports is
the increased demand at this time for
potatoes for seed purposes. Some anx-
iety lest German potatoes flood the
market prompted an investigation of
conditions. 1t appears that ocean
and rail freights from Germany are
such that potatoes from that country
cannot profitably he handled except,
perhaps, at eastern ports.

TURKEYS NEED
MUCH ATTENTION
Cures for Numerous Ills They
Are Subject To.

The poultry raiser who is fortunate
enough to have n large area of ground
should not overlook the turkey as a
money maker. However, never keep
turkeys and hens together. There are
ailments which are almost harmless
to hens which prove fatal to turkeys.
In raising turkeys keep them free from
lice and do not overfeed them. In the
spring the turkeys need green food, in
sects or animal food and plenty of
fresh, cool water and a good range. Do
not keep them shut up in houses, ex-
cept in winter, and even then, except
when sleet falls or the weather is ex-
tremely severe, they must have plenty
of air. One of the most fatal diseases
to turkeys is blackhead In some
places this disease has wiped out
whole f1ocks.
Diarrhea is the most pronounced
symptom. This, however, som etimes
occurs from other intestinal disorders
and does not alone signify the pres
ence of the malady. The next symp-
tom is the dropping TAIL followed by
dropping of the wings, after which
death soon occurs. When the disease
is at its height the head assumes a
dark color, hence the name black
head" Young turkeys are much more
susceptible or they may be more deli
cate and cannot withstand the inva-
sions of the parasites so well. They
begin by moping and humping as if
they were cold A blackening of the
head does not always occur.
The disease is caused by animal
parasites, which can be detected only
by the aid of microscope. Clean food

ease will infect the feeding ground

be killed at once, and then should be
burned. Medical treatment is not very
successful, owing to the difficulty of
reaching the parasites at the seat
of the disease, yet treating them with
some of the following remedies may
be worth the trouble:
Sulphur, five grains; sulphate of
iron, one grain; sulphate of qu1nine,
one grain; place this amount in cap
sules and administer one night and
morning to each turkey for a week.
If the bird does not respond to treat
ment kill it at once without drawing
blood and then burn the carcass, dis
injecting the coop.
