Staunton People Have Abso-
lufe Proof Of Deeds at Home.

1t is not words, but deeds that prove
true merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
for Staunton kidney sufferers, have
made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Staun-
ton people who have been cured to stay
cured.
William L. Rohr, 1041 Front street,
Staunton, Va, says: 81 used Doan's
Kidney Pills, and the results were sat
isfactory. Kidney complaint was
with me for long time and suffered
from severe pains in my back and
sides. STOPPING or lifting caused sharp
twings to dart through me and 1 had
to have assistance in getting out of
bed. The kidney secretions were very
irregular in passage, and 1 had but
little control over them. L tried sew
eral advertised remedies, but received
no relief until procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Thomas Hogshead's drug
store. l continued taking Doan's
Kidney Pills until 1 was completely

Taffy to Farmers.

Capitalist papers are these day,
handing the farmer great gobs of taffy.
The total value of all the crops for 1909
is paraded as proof that the farmer is
exceedingly prosperous. But you know
how prosperous you are. A total crop
of eight billion dollars, when divided
among about sixteen million farmers,
does not spell big things. On the 9TH
er hand, the total product of manufac-
ture was something like fifteen billion
dollars, nearly twice what the product
of the farm was, and this sum is to be
divided between less than a half mil
lion owners of the industry. Do lit
tie figuring and see how you horny
handed sons of toll have prospered as
compared with the captain of industry.
Why do you not hear more of the Won
derful product of manufacture as proof
that the rich are growing still richer,
seeing that that product was SO much
greater than the product of the farm
1t is simply because the papers are
handing you grangers jolly for the
purpose of inducing you to vote for
system which is enriching others and
leaving you poor. Do get your eyes

CARING FOR CABBAGE PLANT.
Experiments at Wisconsin Agricultural
Station Find Tarred Paper
Disks Valuable Aid.

Tarred paper disks placed around
cabbage plants will prevent the cab
bage maggot flies from laying their
eggs at the base of tho stem of the
plant. Experiments have shown that
the odor of the tar has a repellent
effect on the insects.
1t is important that the disks be
applied before the eggs are laid, other
wise they are Ineffective. Plants which
have become badly injured by the
maggot should be destroyed. Those
slightly damaged should be treated
with carbon disulphide and well ferti-
Hzed to promote growth and vigor.
The disks may be made in the fol-
lowing manner:
The disks are hexagonal in shape
and four inches across, and should be
cut from roll of single-ply tarred
felt or paper. Place the paper on a
table and unroll upon smooth board
as needed. Make a hexagonal form
of wood one-quarter inch thick, with
tack through the center to prevent
the form from slipping and to mark
the center Of each disk. The form be-

PRODUCES Pins BY THE TON
Important Manufacturing Industry
in City of Birmingham.
GERMANY AND UNITED STATES ARE
GREAT BRITAIN's TWO CHIEF
COMPETITORS.

COMPETITORS
Of brass, iron and steel pins between
fifteen and sixteen tons (2,240 pounds
to tom are made each week in the
United Kingdom. In view of the great
difference in the size of the pins, which
necessarily affects their weight, it is
impossible to calculate how many mil
lions OF pins are represented in this out
put, but the number must be almost
incalculable. A great majority of the
pins manufactured in the United Kind
dom are made in Birmingham by two
firms, one of which has been manufac-
turing pins for over eighty years and
the other for about century. The
only other country except the United
States which manufactures pins in
great quantities is Germany, whose
output is said to be about twelve tons
per week.
A few steel pins are made in France,
and the United States makes an enor-
nous quantity of pins. In view of the
prominence of the British pin-making
industry, comparatively few pins are
imported into the United Kingdom.
These come from Germany and, 1 am
informed, are of the cheapest grade,
but the aggregate is not more than fif-
teen tons year. The chief pin-using
countries are the United States, Great
British, Germany and France.
OF the United Kingdom production,
about 25 per cent. is exported by the
manufacturers, not including pins pur-
chased by merchants, many of whom
undoubtedly buy for export. None of
these go to Germany, but large quanti-
ties go to the United States and France,
while other countries take pins in COM
paratively small quantities.
The pins that are exported to the
United States from the United King
dom come almost exclusively from Bir-
mingham, from the two firms mention
ed, and the pins exported from the
United Kingdom are almost exclusive
ly pins of the highest grade, and are
invoiced at prices as high or perhaps |
higher than pins of American make
are sold in wholesale quantities in the
United States. In fact, the American
market demands on the average pin
far better than the British market, and
one cannot buy in the shops in the
United Kingdom as good quality of
pins as in the United States.
The German pin, it appears, is not as
good as the English pin of the best
quality and ranks about with the
pin, although the color of
the German pin is said to be little
better.

MONARCHS AS SMOKERS.
THE GERMAN EMPERoR's CIGARS AND
THE KING OF sPAIN's CIGARETTES.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR'S CIGARS ANI
THE KING OF SPANS CIGARETTES.
From Tit-Bits.
During the last few days the Sultan
of Turkey, was shut up in the Yiidiz
Kiosk he is said to have smoked over
thirty cigarettes every hour to "cool
his nerves." For years Abdul Hamld
has smoked dozens of strong cigarettes
every day, and it can be said without
fear of contradiction that he has been
the most ardent devotee of the fragrant
weed that was ever seated upon a
| throne.
King Edward likes cigars, cigarettes
and pipe. He, however, has no hk-
ing for American-made cigarettes, his
favorites being mild Turkish. In his
young days his majesty smoked cigar
cites and nothing else, but he is more
fond of good cigar than ''tobacco
wrapped in paper" His everyday
cigar is specially made for him in Cuba
OF the finest tobacco
The German Emperor smokes cigars
and cigarettes out Of doors, but when in
the privacy of his study he puffs at a
small wooden pipe of the type favored
by the average smoker, and costing
about half crown. The Kaiser con-
sumes various kinds of tobacco, some
times mixture, and his cigars, which
come from Cuba, cost about two shill-
ings each.
The King of Spain keeps strictly to
the cigarette. This is rolled in paper
ungummed, and requires very careful
smoking to keep whole. Alfonso's
cigarette is about as peculiar as the
cigar which the Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria used to smoke. The
latter was fitted with straw tube, and
had to be held in candle flame for
minute or two before it could be made
to draw.
The Gar of Russia and the Prince of
Wales favor the pipe when in private,
but their smoking implements are of
little value A small pipe of the "bull-
dog" type is affected by each, and the
tobacco they consume is of the COM
mon, inexpensive kind.
Bismarck was an ardent devotee of
the weed, and it was his boast that he
consumed over hundred thousand
cigars in fifty years. Thomas Alvo
Edison probably holds the record for
the number of cigars smoked daily by
one man, for he has confessed that
while ten cigars are his normal allow
ance, he consumes double that number |
when deeply absorbed in work. Edwin |
Booth, the tragedian, often smoked |
twenty-five cigars a day, and his dress
er used to stand in the wings with a
lighted cigar in his hand ready for the
great actor when he made his exit.
DR.. Norman Macleod, a famous Scot /
Bish preacher, used to keep box of
cigars in his vestry, and after service
would regale himself with ''puffn
much to the horror of the elders.
Tennyson's love for the pipe was pro-
verbal. 1t was the great poets boon
and an Irish clay was his
'avorite. Baskets of clay pipes ready
or use were stacked around the walls
If his study, and as many as 200 were
o be found lying loose on the floor.
