the fact that the little kidney
troubles are usually neglected until
they become serious. The slight

drOpsy, Bright's disease, gravel or
some other serious form of kidney
complaint.

FAMINE FOLLOWS The QUAKE
THE RUIN is COMPLETE IN MANY
TOWNS OF MEXICO.
Two Towns Were Destroyed, and
in Others the Population Are
Facing Suffering.

MEXICO CITY-Details arriving
from Guerrero indicate that the re-
cent series of earthquakes in that
state and along the Pacific coast were
the worst experienced in many years
1t is now certain that Acapulco and
Chilpancingo were destroyed. What
buildings the earthquakes of Friday
failed to raze were levelled or rem
dered uninhabitable by the stronger
shocks of yesterday.
In addition to the ruin caused by
the earthquake Acapulco, swept by
tidal wave, now faces a famine
All the markets were destroyed Sat
urday, and the country people are
afraid to bring more produce into
town. The people are camping in
the public squares, suffering hunger
and exposure to tropical rains.
The few buildings that remained
standing are being RACED with dyna-
mite, as they are little more than
tottering walls that are constantly
failing as new shocks come. Seven
ty-three distinct shocks of earth
quake have been felt in Acapulco
since the first shake Friday.
During the heavy shock yesterday
the water in the harbor receded
thirty-three feet and then rushed
back, covering the piers and water
front and causing considerable dam
age. Funds are being subscribed in
Mexico City to relieve the distressed
persons in Guerrero.
In Mexico City the shock of yester-
day was heavier than any yet ex-
perienced AS the work of examina-
ton continues more evidence of dam
age is found, though so far as known
no lives were lost in the latest agi-
tatiOn. Many tourists are leaving
for the United States.

While Sitting in WINDOW.
Homer Santipher a young man
about "a years of age, shot himself
above the heart on Washington
street, in the business section of AL
bany.
His friend, Walter Keaton, was
shot through the left hand while at
tempting to prevent the rash act.
The young men were sitting on a
window sill in front of a business
house. They were talking quietly to-
gether, ana passersby had no intima-
ton of the approaching tragedy I'M
til Santipher suddenly jumped to his
feet with the exclamation, Il believe
II will kill myself"
With the words he pulled out a re-
volver. Keaton also quickly jumped
Ito his feet and grappled with his
friend in an effort to prevent him
from killing himself. In the strug-
gle that ensued Keaton was shot
through the palm of the left hand.
When Santipher succeeded in free
ing himself he placed the weapon to
his breast and fired. He fell to the
sidewalk mortally wounded.
Santipher was an employee on the

PUTS THE LID ON TIGHTER.
Alabama Making Miserable Life of
Man Who Enjoys "Nip."


The Alabama legislature, now in
session, has passed a bill making
more drastic the prohibition law of
that state.
The bill provides that there shall
be no sale or manufacture of intOXi-
.cants in Alabama or any beverage
containing over one-half OF l per
cent. alcohol. 1t shall not be kept
in clubs and distributed to members
as a regular thing; all classes of
drinks, like near beer, hop jack, hop
weiss and the like are interdicted,
and every kind of violation under
the act is infinitely described so that
the courts cannot be mistaken. Con-
viction may be followed by fine of
$50 to 5000 with six months hard
labor, at the discretion of the court,
like amount being possible under
each offense.
Places of reputed violation may be
reached by injunction secured by
officers or citizens of the chancery
court by which doors can be closed
and the burden of proof put upon
the accused to establish innocence.
Places of suspicion may be declared
a nuisance in the same way and
closed up and in every case the pos
session of a United States license
to sell is prima facie evidence of
guilt.

The pleasure OF Eating

is a pleasure that no one should be
denied. Life, energy, brain power
all depend on what is eaten. One
must eat and the food must assimi-
late or there's a decline. Keep your
digestion perfect and you can enjoy
eating.
If You ever have the least distress
after eating it denotes imperfect d.
gestion, and a remedy is needed at
once. The best remedy is POINDEX-
TIERS TONIC. Results are prompt
from this remedy because it restores
right conditions. 1t overcomes fer
mentation in the stomach, and

The device consists of a resistance

KEEPING PROFITABLE COWS.
many Kept In Iowa That Do Not
Pay for Their Feed and
Care.

A dairy authority in Iowa asserts
that there are hundreds and hundreds
or COWS kept for dairy purposes in
Iowa which do not yield sufficient to
pay for the feed which they consume,
for they consume as much feed as do
the profitable ones and require as
much time and care in milking.
There was a time when the dairy
cow was not expected to milk for more
than six months in the year, but with
the present high prices for labor and
feed this condition of affairs can no
longer profitably exist.
The lactation period should be at
least nine months in length. The
amount of milk COW should produce
to be profitable is variously stated at
from 5000 to 5000 pounds annually,
or sufficient to yield from 200 to 240
pounds of butter fat This should
vary, of course, with the locality, price
of labor, feed, etc. However, it is
safe to say that cow with reasonably
good care, that does not produce the
lesser of these amounts is not profit
able animal Yet how large a percent
age of so-called dairy cows will stand
this test?
In order to determine accurately a
cows usefulness as dairy animal it
is well to weigh one days milk every
week or ten days during the lactation
period. At the same time a sample
should be taken for testing. The time
of freShening should also be noted in
order to determine the length of the
lactation period.
The same authority asserts that it is
good plan to keep a book account
with each COW, charging her with cost
of feed consumed and labor expended,
and credit her with value of milk and
calf. In this way it will not be diff
cult to pick out the non-paying in
dividuals.

Hish-VoItage Underground Wires

1t is only in comparatively recent
years that engineers have deemed it
safe to carry electric currents of high
potential or voltage in underground
cables buried under the streets of
cities. But nowadays systems of
5000, 1000, 13,200 or even 10000
volts are employed with entire relia-
bility and safety. 1t is said that when
local and commercial conditions justi-
ify, pressure as high as $4,000 volts
can be used satisfactorily under
ground, even for systems aggregating
100 miles of cable. But no single line
of such system should be longer than
about 20 miles. On comparatively
short lengths underground or under
water, as part Of long overhead
transmission line, cables operating at
10000 volts may be used.

REASONS FOR SOURING MILK.
Lactic Acid Bacteria Cause Milk to
Sour; Introduced Into Fluid in
Various Ways.

Many of the lower plants find sugar
suitable food. In making use of this
food, the sugar is chemically changed
and in its place we find many
new chemical compounds differ
Ing widely from the sugar from
which they originated. Some bac-
terra in this process form various
kinds of acids and gases. Among
these is a large group of closely re-
lated bacteria which cause the souring
of milk by breaking up the milk sugar
into Tactic acid. On account of this
peculiarly they are commonly called
the Tactic acid bacteria. Typical Tactic
acid bacteria do not form gas. They
do not have spores and therefore are
destroyed at comparatively low tenn
perature. They are extremely widely
distributed and it is only under excep-
tional conditions that milk is obtained
entirely free from them. They sell

Partial Cow Ration.

No one should attempt to run a
steam engine that was driving a mod.
ern threshing outfit with but 80 pounds
of steam. Yet many dairymen at.
tempt to get profitable results from
their cows by feeding them a partial
ration. They attempt to run them with
but 80 pounds OF steam" Chemists
tell us that two-thirds of what a COW
consumes goes to maintain her body.
The remainder goes toward milk pro-
duction.
1t is evident to all that the profit
must come from the feed over and
above that which the COW requires for
maintenance, and that the more she
eats the greater will be the profit
There are many good COWS in the
country that are not recognized as such,
and cannot be made profitable unless
they receive more feed. There is no
profitin feeding partial rations to milch
cows. We cannot get profitable re-
suits running cows on go pounds of
steam If there is food shortage,
one might better feed full rations to
half the number rather than feed the
many on half rations. In the latter
case there will be much work and
little profit. In the former, the cows
are sure to give profitable returns,
and the labor of caring for the herd
would be much lessened. Milk Re-

Aluminium Solder.

One OF the things inventors have
been working on for long time is to
obtain an effective solder for joining
aluminium. Lack of such solder has
been one of the drawbacks in the more
extensive use of aluminium in electrical
work.
A new compound for this purpose
has been patented. 1t consists of 6S
parts of tin. 29 parts of zinc, two parts
of antimony and one part of phosphor-
us, by weight. These different COM
ponent parts are first thoroughly heat
ed, separately to liquid form, then
thoroughly mixed and allowed to cool
off and then used in the form of what
is commonly known as bar solder.

DAIRY NOTES.

Hollow concrete blocks make an
ideal silo that will not crack or the
contents easily freeze. Machines for
making silo concrete blocks may be
purchased for about 500.
With the exception of where the
very best cedar Is used, all wooden
silos should often be painted inside
and out in order to preserve the wood
and to prevent leaking. For paint
for this purpose, coal tar is about
as good as any kind. 1t serves well
for filling cracks and is also a good
preservative.
The question of the one purpose and
the dual purpose dairy COW has almost
ceased to be discussed by rational
dairymen. THE difference between
the dual purpose dairy COW and the
dairy cow" says w. d. Hoard of Wis.
consin lis just the difference between
a machine that is made for it's pur-
pose and one that is not. What would
you think of a man who would go
out to cut grass with sewing ma
chine?"
When every dairyman comes to own
his own farm and comes to under
stand the most economical use of
SKINNED milk and manure, dairying
will become a profitable industry
The skinned milk and manure COM
bined may be made to represent as
much as the butter fat of the dairy.
1t is better to build two or three
silos of narrow diameter than one of
wide diameter. When silage is used
for summer feeding it will keep bet
ter with small top surface exposed.
The power of production in COW
is inherited. If the COW is a good
dairy animal by inheritance and is
given good care and feed she will be-
come more productive as she increases
in age. The quantity rather than the
quality of her milk is influenced by
feed.

Increased Use of EIectricity.

The rapidly-increasing use of elec-
trio power is remarkably illustrated
by the report of the United States
bureau of census upon street and other
electric railroads, recently issued for
1907. 1t shows Ala establishments,
as compared with 1920 at the end of
1902, an increase of so per cent, of
which 1852 are municipal, the latter
having increased by 53.6 per cent. The
total mileage of main line is 25, ,547,
compared with 1861 in 1902, an in
crease of 53.4 per cent; and the passen-
gers carried total 9,533,0S0, 766, an in
crease of 63.3 per cent. The fact that
the total output of stations, four and
three-quarter billion kilowatt hours,
has increased by the much larger per-
centage of 1903, would indicate an in
creasing sale of power for commercial
and domestic purposes other than trac-
ton, while the total income of all
plants having been more than doubled
for an increase in plant cost of less
than 100 per cent, is a tribute to the
efficiency of both plant and manage
ment, as well as TO the fourishing
state of the industry.
