good health, with it's blessings, must un- derstand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living alright. Then the use of medicines may be dis pensed with to advantage, but under or dinary conditions in many instances simple, wholesome remedy may beinvalu- able if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it.

BIG COAL TRACT IS SOLD.
Buyer Believed to Be Acting for New York Syndicate, Gets Illinois Land.

Mt. Vernon, H., Dec 12.-Loren N. Wood of New York city closed a deal Saturday with J. F. Rend of Chicago and w. H. Hart and w. w. Williams of Benton, H., for 10000 acres of coal lands in Franklin county, Illinois. This, added with other purchases made in Franklin and Jefferson coun- ties. brings MT. Woods holdings to 4S,000 acres. representing the expendi- tuve of $1,50O, 900.
 Mir. Wood is believed to represent a group of New York capitalists which has been taking over large tracts of coal lands in the local coal field. The lands purchased are underlaid with rich coal deposits and the quality of the coal, according to chemical andy sis, shows high grade. There are three veins in the field and two of them can be worked profitably. MT. Wood is still actively engaged in rounding up more lands with the view of making pur- chases. From the best information that can be procured, it Is believed 100000 acres are to be purchased at a cost of S3,000,00O

Cross-Examination Of Mrs. BrokaW
Wife of Millionaire, Who Suing for Separation and Al
 mony Shows Ready Wit and Goodness Witness Stand

New York, Dec. 13.-The ready wit and coolness of Mary Blair Brokaw, who seeks a decree of separation with alimony of $60,000 a year from her millionaire husband. w. Gould Bro- kaw, were manifested again and again today through her persistent cross ex- animation.
 At the times you say your hus- band threatened to blow out your John F. Mcintyre, counsel for the de- fense.
 Not when he wasn't drinking" re- turned the witness, adroitly.
 Did he say he would or could do it?' pursued MT. Mcintyre.
 'In Paris he said he could and in the south he said he would"
 Well, he didn't. did he?" asked MT. Mcintyre, as a clincher.
 T think" said the witness sweetly, ''you find I still have a few left"
 What "Paralyzed Drunk" Means.
 At another time there was ques- ton as to what Mrs. Brokaw meant by ''paralyzed," an adjective she ap piled to MT. Brokaw's condition on night when she testified she telephoned for his secretary to take care of him.
 Mrs. Brokaw amplified her definition into "a condition of helpless intoxica- tfon," and MT. Mcintyre Immediately wished to know how the witness had qualified as a judge in the symptoms of drunkenness.
 My varied experience after mar riage made me an expert" she retort- ed.
 Society Crowded the Courtroom.
 The worst weather an Atlantic coast northeaster can show did not daunt the curious today. Many women rich ly robed in furs motored over to Mineola. L. T., and crowded the little courtroom. The testimony did not dis appoint them.
 Statement by Mir. Brokaw.
 Mr. Brokaw, just before court con- vened, gave out statement for the press, in part as follows:
 T have been grossly misrepresented by Mrs. Brokaw and by members of her family. Proposition after propo- siticn has been made to me by the plaintiffs side to abandon this case

if should submit to a large settle ment of money"
 Branded as a Lie by Petitioners
 Counsel.
 Mir. Baldwin. Mfrs. Brokaw's lawyer, immediately issued a counter state ment in part as follows:
 The statement given out by the defense that the plaintiffs side had made overtures to him to abandon the case upon payment of large sum of money is an unnitigated and deliber- ate falsehood, and consistent with the policy adopted by the defense by try ing the case by unsur~><ntiated state ments made without the sanctity of an oath"
 Cigarettes and Cocktails.
 After these prelrninaries, both sides got down to the serious business of the day. Mrs. Brokaw was asked if she did not once take poison by mis- take with no intention of killing her self. Now. wasn't that only a bluff ?' queried MT. Mcintyre.
 NO. it was not" she replied indig- nantly, T wanted to die"
 Cigarettes had proved an embar rassing subject for Mrs. Brokaw in previous testimony. Today she tri- umphed over cocktails. of which she had tasted only four in her life, she said, and never before breakfast. Champagne. she thought, tasted very much like ginger ale. Mrs. Brokaw's Outfit BilIs-Corsets
 for MT. Brokaw.
 MT Mcintyre began to delve into Mrs Brokaw's bills for dresses. Her lawyer cut him short with an admis- sion that Mir. Brokaw spent $30,00O on his wife in their first year of married life.
 Mir Mcintyre thought the items spoke for themselves.
 T will hardly agree" he instanced, that d couple of hundred dollars worth of corsets were, used by Mir Brokaw."
 Brokaw himself, who is far from puny, joined in the laughter that fol- lowed.
 ''If I recollect rightly" put in Jus tice Putnam, General Hancock used them during a campaign

DereIict Farms.

The ancient term, abandoned farms" has become obsolete. It took a long time for desk farmers to learn that there were nont. Now the talk is about "derelict farms" That is more appropriate. Our desk agri- culturists want these derelict farms utilized for cattle growing. But they fail to state that raising the beef is only the beginning of trouble. When it comes to selling, the Connecticut rancher will find the beef combine very much in evidence, and inspired with the determination to hamper him. Yet we would not for moment dis courage the discussion. Suggestions of value to practical farmers and those who desire to engage in the business may be found here and there in this flood of advice.-Bristol Press.

The town of Meriden has been made the defendant in a suit brought by Attorney I. H. Mag for William Blake of South Meriden.

Skill of Australians in Using the
 Stock Whip

The stock-whip, in the skilful hands of the Australian, is not only an arti- cle of the greatest untility. but also formidable weapon. Owing to its great length-the lash varies from 12 to 30 feet-and the shortness of the butt, which only measures IS inches, 1t is an extremely difficult and awk- ward thing to wield, and the beginner is apt to seriously hurt himself if he does not exercise care when practis- ing.
 A we'll trained stockman, however, says The Wide World Magazine, can hit cent every time at ten paces distance, and with the dreaded lash in his hand, cracking like pistol shots can keep mob of wild cattle in check. If used with full force, it will
