THE U OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Pre-
vention of Coughs and Colds.


If people would only fortify
and strengthen the system, the
majority of cases of coughs,
colds and pneumonia might be
avoided. These troubles are fire.
quently due to weakness, which
produces a catarrhal condition of
the mucous membrane, which is
an internal skin of the body.
When this skin is weakened it be-
comes easily infected with germs
which cause many of the diseases
to which flesh is heir, Healthy
mucous membranes are essential
safeguards of the body's general
health.
An excellent aid in the proven
ton of coughs, colds, pneumonia,
and such like infectious diseases,
is a remedy that viii prevent or
cure catarrh.
We have a remedy which we
honestly believe to be unsur-
passed in excellence for the pre-
vention of coughs, colds and all
catarrhal conditions. 1t is the
prescription of a famous physi-
elan, who has an enyiable reputa-
ton Of thirty years Of cures gain
ed through the use of this formu-
la. We promise to make no charge
for the medicine should it fail to
do as we claim. W. urge every
body who has need of such a med
icine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we
could not afford to make such
statements and give our own per-
sOnal guarantee to this remedy
if we are not prepared to prove
the reasonableness of our claim
in every particular, and we see
no reason why any one should
hesitate to accept our offer and
try it. We have two sizes of Rex
all Mucu-Tone, x so cents and
500. Sometimes a 50-cent bottle
is sufficient to give marked re-
lief. As a general thing the most
chronic case is relieved with an
average of three large bottles.

Many people who are otherwise

Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they

Music Lover Has Growing Plants In
Water in Drawing Room.

A matron who is foud of music and
OWNS handsome grand piano says
she keeps it in tune much longer and

near it a big rose jar or a large glass
pitcher filled with dozen or more
vines of tradescantia growing in wa

This vine is better known as wan

water as in soil. 1t comes in the plain
green and variegated leaves, and is n
charming addition to a room as we'll

USE FOR THE SEPARATE TuNlc.
VIII Transform OId.Fashioned Frock
Into Something Smart.

Clever women have found out that a
separate tunic, made of another ma
terial than the gown and draped over
it, is an excellent method of altering
an old-fashioned frock.
There are some skirts that arc too
short to be lifted up even for two
inches on the bodice to give the en-
pire effect, and they are too much
out of style to wear as they are.
IL the skirt and bodice are put to-
gether by their Innings and two or
three folds of self-colored material
neatly draped around the waistline in
order to make it invisible, the founda-
ton work is finished
The tunic may be made Of net,
chiffon cloth, bands of net and en-
broidered satin, or all-ovor lace edged
with fur or gold galloons.
This is cut with seam down mid
die of back and neatly draped three
inches above the waistline, headed with
folds of the material or piece of the
trimming used elsewhere.
This tunic drops from bust to
knees and gives the exact line that it
needs this winter on smart frocks

THIS HEN cHEWs TOBACCO.
Whimsical Fowl Lays Eggs Only When
Given the Weed.

Youngstown, O-The sallicst old
salt that sails the sea does not love q
chew of tobacco better than does a
hen owned by Burt Miller, lawyer of
this city. For more than q year the
hen, which was always industrious and
remunerative, has refused to lay her
customary egg each day unless her
system is toned by tobacco. So, each
day Mr.. Miller sets before her can
chew. The word "chew" is tigurative,
for, of course. nothing is rarer than
hens teeth. This hen pecks at the
tobacco in the can, plainly with great
enjoyment, and, after holding it in her
mouth n while, elects it.
The love of tobacco must be an ac-
CURED taste for hen, just as are
caviar and olives for a man. Mr.. Mil
Ter thinks his hen acquired the taste
by eating cuds OF tobacco which she
found on his grounds after his man OF
all work had no further use for them.
The hen will chew only the best fine
cut of one particular brand. She has
refused TO taste samples of other
brands sent 10 her by their manufac-
turers, who may have had in mind the
value of an advertisement readins.
Even hens are not happy until they
GO our 'baccy'"
Mr.. Miller tried to cure his hen III
the habit by giving her tobacco

eyer, however officacious It may be on

Coats Longer.

Coats of nearly every kind and for
any wear are somewhat longer this
year than formerly. There are, Of
course, some short jackets and some
extremely long coats accompanying
runabout suits, but the minimum av.
erage length for the popular walking
coat is 80 inches.
Right pretty are some of the little
silk coats in la Vatican. shown
among the recent Paris importations.
They are often trimmed with hand
some laces or galloons and sometimes
with rare embroideries.
Silk coats in the tone of the skirt
are more used than are cloth ones like
the skirt, especially in suits to be
worn for anything like dress occa-
sions. These coats are usually loose
and made in odd styles, in imitation
OF % or more years ago.

Poultry is found thriving and yield
ing good returns in SO many styles
of houses that it is difficult to lay
down any hard and fast rules. The
tendency at present is toward cheaper
houses with better ventilation. The
dollhouse style of housing poultry dur
ing the winter has not been satisfac'
tory, many of the houses being damp
and the air in them anything but
agreeable. Disease has been quite
common and the results in many
cases have been disappointing.
Poultry houses should be so ar
ranged as to admit plenty of sunlight,
especially in winter months, as it as
sists very materially in warming the
house and making fowls CHEEKY 1t
also dries up moisture and is one of
the best agencies for killing microbes
and disease germs. Windows should
be arranged to come we'll UP under
the front This will permit the sun
TO shine we'll toward the back part
of the house. Winter is the most i'm
portant time for plenty of sun and
the winter months, hence the impor-
lance of having the windows higher.
At least one-third of the front of
poultry house should be gabled or
open to the south. IL should face the
south or southeast. Windows should
be arranged to slide back or to be
removed in some way. On bright
mild days no covering is necessary
over the opening; on windy or cold
stormy days a muslin curtain should
be used, unless very cold, when the
windows may be kept shut to prevent
the combs being frozen. BY getting
the fowls accustomed TO the condi-
ton as cold weather approaches
they are better prepared to stand
lower temperature with no injurious
results.

DRY ROT OF CORN
Disease Which Is Causing Concern.

According to T. J. Burrill and J.
II. Barrett OF the Illinois station the
groups of diseases of corn known I'M
der the general name of dry rot has
become of sufficient economic impor
lance during the past four or five
years to cause general concern among
farmers in corn-growing regions.
In 1906, the year in which there
was the greatest amount of dry rot, so
far as any records have been made,
the loss was As per cent. of the entire
crop in Illinois. This represents q
loss az over 100000 bushels. having
q v"iue of more than $5.0G0,000 The
loss in 1907 was less than two per
cent. of the crop, or about $1,000 00."
The name dry rot is derived from
the way the ears are affected in the
field. in general the husks tend to
turn rrematurely yellow to sooty, and
the ear becomes partially or wholly
ghriyeled and much decreased in
weight. Sometimes the ears remain
upright with the husks closely adher-
ing to them In other cases the
shanks are weakened and the affected
ears hang limp from their attachment,
or the diseased condition may not be
detected until the husk is removed"
There are several kinds Of dry rot,
due to different causes. The most
common and that which, according
Ia Burriu and Barrett, has during tsoe
past two seasons caused about W
per cent. OF the damage in Illinois.
is du, to fungus known as Diplc-
dia maydia. Ears infected with this
fungus ''shriyel up more or less, dark
on in color, and become light In
weight
1.-THE kernels arc also shrivcled,
very brittle, and loosely attached to

portions of the ear. Kernels. cob. and
busks, and produces many dara-brown.

two-celled spores which serve to prop.
agate the fungus.
There are several other forms of
dry rot which are less important, but
cause considerable damage, which
seems to be on the increase. These
are also due to fungi which belong. for
the most part, to the genus Fusarium
members of which cause serious
damage to quite number of our i'm.
portant cultivated plants. -.
"In the case of the Diplodia disease.
and quite probably in that of the other
forms, the fungus perpetuates itself
over winter on the old diseased ears
and old stalks. 1t is not usually diff.
ficult 10 find throughout the summer
in old corn fields, where the disease
has previously prevailed, many pieces
of old cornstalks which are infected
with the Diplodla fungus. Stalks
known TO be two years cid have been
found still producing spores.
"The fungus does not, according to
present knowledge. grow upon any
-other host, and upon developing corn
only on the ears. Not so much is
known of the other fungi here con.
cerned, but since 90 per cent. of the
rot is due TO Diplodia, less attention
need be given to them. Diseased ears
are fruitful sources of subsequent in.
lection and should be removed au
promptly as possible. This can DO
readily done, at the time of huskjng.
IL not before. Keep them in a sep
aratc receptacle and burn them AZ
soon as practicable. In addition 80
this, in fields where any considerat.,
amount of disease has been four <
the stalks should also have attentirn
whatever crop is TO follow. Sop,s
thing may be gained by carefully plo,,
ing tkem under and leaving them wei.
covered, but burning may be required
even IL this is otherwise bad pro-
cedure. Such a field should not be re-
planted TO corn for at least two years.
IF the first suggestion is always
followed and the others are put into
practice whenever necessity demands
IL. these serious losses may be prac-
tically prevented"
