Epilepsy,
Fits

"My son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with DR..
Miles Nervine."
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, 0.
MY little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely we'll after taking
DIR. Miles Nervine only four
months"
MRS. c. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

FARM AND RURAL SCHOOL
Dongs of Practical SangamOn Farmers and Indiana Educational
Authority, Superintendent Cotton, Quoted.

For the last six years there has
been a spirited campaign in Indiana
to secure better schools-for better
scholarship and better wages Two
important laws were secured. One
classified the schools into three di-
visions. To teach the third division,
the teacher must be graduate of a
four-year high school course or its
equivalent; must have had II weeks
in normal school and possess third
grade certificate. The salary cannot
be less than S45 to $50 per month
and the average is about $50. After
another term in the normal school
and a second grade certificate tgood
for two years. the teacher gets $56
to 500 per month. The average is
$50. After the teacher has complet-
ed three years in the normal school
and obtains three-year or life GER
tificate. the pay must be $71.26 per
month. As a matter of fact it is $7i
or $75.
The normal schools are in the
hands of a state board of education
Ten of the IL members are engaged
in teaching, so the problem is safe
with them. The board fixed stan
dard for this work. Last year TO-

500 teachers and others were thus
given normal instruction. There was
a prompt increase in scholarship and
salaries have been increased accord
ingly One feature of the Indiana
system is that it provides trained
teachers in the country. The hope
is that young men from the rural
communities will go back to those
communities to make the best teach

Economical Shed and Crib.
One of the Ridgely tenants in San
canon county, who has shown some
special ability for raising and hand
ling mules, is having new building
put up for him by Farm Manager F.
w. Ladage. 1t is 60x64 feet, with
hay shed 2Ox60 feet through the
center and with 20-foot posts to the
caves. Sheds 14x60 feet extend
along the sides, the roofs joining the
central part four feet below the
caves. One of these will be used as
feding shed and have managers
along the hay side. Eight-foot cribs
extend along the outer sides The

Fred w. Ladage. manager of the
Ridgely farms in Sangamon county,
has for two years done successful
blowing with traction engine pull
ing two gang plows that turn seven
14-inch furows. These gangs are
conveniently hitched to truck of
triangular frame which he had made
for the purpose. The plows cost
$3.50. OF the $50 acres in corn this
year he plowed 100 acres last fall
with this engine and outfit. 1t is
necessary to circle the corners, leav-
ing about five acres out of 40 to turn
over with small pillow. Three men,
one to haul water, one to guide the
gangs and the engineer, can pillow
16 to Is acres any day, no matter
how dry the ground or how hot the
weather.
This saves lot of hard work upon
the horses when thew need the re-
lief and Mr.. Ladage considers it both
practical and economical. He figures
that the cost of coal and men is about
the same as to carry stock of
horses to do the same work with the
ordinary plows. The man who hauls
water has an hours work to do about
three times a day and the rest OF the
time he is employed cutting weeds.
When two men work the machine
and stop to haul the water they can
pillow 2 or 13 acres day.
A special advantage is in getting
a large amount of fall plowing done
quickly and thus saving time with
the spring work. Mr. Ladage plow-
ed his stubble last fall with a trac-
ton engine when other farmers quit
work because the ground was so
hard. The engine cannot be used
so well in the spring, when the heavy

The success of Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. 1t may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, infiam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-down feeling, fiatulency, indi-
gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra-
ton.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial.
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should it
not cure you?

Arrest Salvationists.-The Salvation
Army was in trouble again Saturday
evening. 1t was the same Old trouble
The city authorities have permitted
the band to hold its meetings on Brady
street just above Second street and
when the complaints became too nu-
merous the mayor notified Captain
Graham that on Saturday evenings the
meetings must be held below Second
street to avoid the congestion that has
occurred there every Saturday evening
since the band has been there, Satu'-
day evening the police found that the
meeting was being conducted in the

orders. The result was that the band
was taken up to the police station and
Captain Graham was locked up for
several hours.

Can Company Closes. = The local
plant of the American Tin Can COM
pany. near the Glucose works in the
west end of the city, has discontinued
operations for an indefinite period, the
employers having been laid off until
they are again needed. The closing
down is caused by an over stock OF
cans, which the company has on hand,
according TO officials of the company,
who say they do not know when they
will resume work. as it will be neces-
sary to dispose of much of the stock
on hand before active operations will
be resumed II is impossible they state
at this time to say when that will be
as the consumption of cans depends
very largely on the crop of corn that
is canned this year. and it is now toe
early to foretell how much that will
be. If the crop handled is large the
plant probably will again start work
in few weeks, but if it is not, 4
longer suspension of work will be the
result. F. A. Seeman. general foreman

Says Sheriff is Liable.-At the re-

opinion has been prepared by Attor-

controversy between the board of sup

feeding of prisoners. Mr.. Wood de-
votes special attention TO the legal
phases of the situation and cites the
Illinois statutes and court decisions to
substantiate the following points: /.
That the county board has the power
TO fix the compensation TO be paid the
sheriff for dieting the prisoners, in its
discretion. at such sum as will cover
the actual cost, as a matter of pro-
lection TO the county. This law was
reenacted last January by the state leg
lslature. 2. 1t is the duty of the sher-
if to provide the supplies necessary for
feeding the prisoners, the bills TO be
paid by him and not by the county
| board. If the sum so expended BY
him exceeds the amount provided by
| the county board, and he has used
proper endeavor to keep within the
limit of the compensation fixed he
can file his claim for extra compensa
| ton with the board, for ito is liable to
the sheriff for the actual cost.

Costs us forty cents a pound,

Having spared it, and the prunes
Are the finest and most filling
We have seen for many moons;
And, whereas, the reign Of terror
Mothered by the suffragette

And the polar controversy
Has subsidized for bit,
Leaving us to reassemble
Our disseminated wit;
And whereas, the railroads have

November gets it name from noveh,
the Latin word for nine. It was an
GENTLY the ninth month, but that
brought it around at the season when
the Roman explorers were getting in
from Britain and other parts and rails
ing such a hallaballoo with their
claims and counter claims, that 1t
was finally made the eleventh month,
when the atmosphere had somewhat
cleared. and there really was some
thing for which to be thankful. In
credulity in those days was much
worse than it is now. When Caesar
returned from Rome and claimed to
have divided Gaul into three parts
he precipitated dispute in the vic.
lence of which both his Eskimo were
assassinated and the empire rose and
fell four or five times.
The countersign for November is
supplied by Charles r. Crane, who
was for a minute minister to China.
