ST. LOUIS, July 21.-Another
chapter has been added to the re-
markable career OF Broughton
Brandenberg, magazine writer and
adventurer, by the second disap-
pearance from this city of his little
stepson. James Shepard Cabanne
Ill. Brandenberg already stands
accused of kidnapping the child
once and taking him to San Fran
cisco. 1t was there he was ar
rested on charge of selling a
forged interview with the late
Grover Cleveland.
Cleared of the forgery charge in
New York court. Brandenberg
had to stay in cell here until bail
was procured for him on the kid
mapping charge.
James Shepard Cabanne, father
of the child, has left st. Louis also.
His whereabouts are concealed by
members of the aristocratic Ca.
banne family, the oldest west of
the Mississippi
1t is strange story, this of the
Cabannes, aristocrats of great
city, and Brandenberg, adventur.
Gus world traveller, with a long rec,
ord of exploits TO his credit, as
well as a record of Imprisonment
in many places.
Through it all one can see rep
etition of the old story of how a
woman's love for man Will lead
her to the end of the earth for him
Brandenberg married Mrs. Ca
banne after a divorce sensation
The boy vanished, was brought
back by officers, then vanished
again. The second time the family
feared a kidnaper was holding him
for ransom. A man was seen talk
ing with the boy near his home, or
Cabanne avenue, and this man was
supposed to be a member of the
black hand.
Now the child's mother and
Brandenberg are believed to hole
the secret of the boys present
whereabouts. The child will return
and testify for Brandenberg, it is
believed, when the trial of the au
thor for the first kidnapping held
In September.
Gossips say, too, truce has
been declared between Cabanne
former husband, and Brandenberg
present husband, of Mrs. Minnie
Cabanne-Brandenberg. She has ad
justed the enmity between the mer
and now becomes the central fig
ure in the case.
Cabanne will not appear, his law
yer says, and the word of woman
with romantic past will be de
pended on to save Brandenberg
whose life story reads like an an
Gent chevalier's exploits.
What i'll star has followed Bran
denburg? And why has he escaped
all his accusers after bitter fights
Is it the charm of his wife, VIII,

self when her husband faces Inf

AMERICANS CUT DOWN USE OF
BEER BY TWO BILLION OR|NKs
BY gibson GARDNER

WASHINGTON, D. c., July I'll
AS result Of the prohibition wave
the actual quantity of beer and
whisky consumed in the United
States has decreased markedly dur
ing the last two years. Between
four and five million barrels of
beer marks the decrease for the
current year. The whisky figures
are not complete, but it is in pro-
portion to the beer decrease.
In 1907 the treasury department
collected it's dollar tax on 59,567,
S1S barrels of beer. With the fig
ures for one month still to come in,
the year of 1908 shows a consump.
ton of only 50,993,042 barrels. Els
Inmates for the month of June sug.
gest the addition of between four
and five million barrels for that
month. This makes the decrease
between four and mive million bar
rels, or more than billion pints.
The average drink of beer is half
a pint, so Americans may be said
to have taken some two billion
fewer drinks of beer in 1908.

Parasites on Poultry.

Several varieties of parasites live
on the body as well as on the heads
Of poultry. The latter, however, is
limited to the one species known as
red mite which breeds rapidly and if
not checked soon predominates not
only on the birds but in the houses
as well, seeking shelter in the cracks
and crevices. The head louise on
young chicks can be controlled by
greasing the top of the head with
lard or sweet oil, exercising care not
to overdose the parts. The best time
to do this is after dark, when the
birds have gone to roost and are suf-
ficiently asleep to facilitate handling.
For, body lice in adult fowls, distribute
insect powder literally through the
plumage, exercising care to get well
into the under coating Of the birds:
In addition it is also well to use
liquid lice killer or kerosene on the
,roosts and even spray the inside Of
the house with it.

CONTINUOUS DOOR IN A sILo
Plan That Works Admirably and by
Which Acme of Convenience
and Durability Secured,

Some years ago, when building our
second silo, l cast about for design
that should unite the good points Of
the circular silo with the conveniences
of the continuous door of the square
silo. finally hit upon plan which
works admirably, and by which the
acme of silo convenience and dura-
bility is secured, writes r. Walker
Mckeen in Rural New Yorker. The
Illustration explains the plan quite
well. The material used may be any
good lumber, fairly free from knots.
Mine is made of hemlock, others near
by are made of pine. Slaves the de-
sired length are sawed two by four
inches, and for inside silos they need
be neither planed nor beveled. Two
doorposts, six by six inches. are
framed together by being dropped on
to short sill and by dropping plate
on top. Additional strength is given on
putting bolts through just above the
sill and just below the plates, and in
silos more than twenty feet high an
additional rod may be put through
the middle of the posts. Another sim.
liar post, called binding post, is pre-
pared to stand on opposite side Of silo.
The doorposts have fve-eighths inch
holes bored through them, leaving
lust two inches space between edge of

hole and inside of post. These holes
are fer the hooks, the first ones being
as near the bottom as possible, the
second IS inches above, and the third
one "a inches above the second, so on
extending the distance as the top is
approached, using ten hoops on a. 20
foot silo The illustration shows 20,
but this is a mistake. The hoops are
made of one-half-inch round iron in
half lengths with large head on one
end and thread nut and broad washer
on the other.
A solid, level foundation is first
built, on which a circle the size of the
silo is drawn. The door-posts or
frame, is then stood up at the proper
place and securely stayed. Slaves
are then placed on around the circle,
staying each one temporarily by tack
ing old barrel slaves horizontally
across it. When one-half around the
circle, the binding-post, which has pre-
viously had as many five-cighths-inch
holes bored in it as both door-posts,
is stood up in place of a stave, then
Is reached. Hoops are then thrust
through the holes in the right door
post, on around to the binding-post,
through it and turned up tightly.
The left side is treated the same
until all the hoops are in place. AS
finishing touch, the inside of silo is
banked up with cement, making the
bottom somewhat kettle-shaped and
insuring an absolutely tight joint be-
tween the cement and the ends of the
slaves. The door-posts have grooves,
two by two inches, rabbetted out of
the inside corners, into which the
ends of the boards used for doors fit
These doors may be made of any
straight-edge boards of even thick
ness, laid double with paper between
them, the edges breaking joints. This
silo can be we'll built without skilled
labor, and for about one dollar per ton
capacity. This plan has been fol-
lowed by all who have seen them in
use, and in various states, and always
gives satisfaction.

DRY FARM QUESTION

Gov. Norris Of Montana, Says Arid

Dry farming is big question-one

means an increased prosperity to arid
regions. rural homes for those in CON
sested centers, occupation for the I'M
employed, food for the hungry. 1t
means wealth and happiness for
thousands now living and millions yet
unborn"
This significant statement was
made by Gov. Edwin L. Norris Of
Montana, president of the Dry Farm
ing congress, during the address be-
fore the National Irrigation congress
at Spokane. In the course of his adj
dress. Gov Norris said -
Il am not unmindful of the fact that
to those not familiar with conditions
in the semi-arid west, it may appear
a.at dry farming is entirely foreign
to the subjects under consideration
here. Such, however, is not the fact.
Dry farming is becoming one of the
most important and far reaching ques-
tons the west will be called upon to
consider Familiarity with conditions
brings the conviction that irrigation
and dry farming will be twin factors
in promoting development in all sec

not sufficient to produce crops

population is rapidly increasing and
that both the home and foreign de-
mands become larger each year The

A HUMANE WORK.

During the meeting OF the medical
association at Atlantic City, sugges-
ton was made that the women physi.
clans of New York and other towns
of the north should cooperate in the
work of teaching the poor to avoid dis
ease, says the Florida Times Union.
Thus and individual work has be-
come one OF strength and union. The
physicians of the female persuasion
have already begun at their humane
task, and the poor, infected children
of the crowded quarters will be saved
by it. The great philanthrophy of this
movement can scarce be weighed IN
til one realizes the want, the igno-
rance and the disease that reign over
the tenement districts of New York.
The women especially will be taught
to take hygienic care of their little
ones as well as of themselves. What
is the use of supplying pasteurized
milk to the infants If the mothers
don't know how to feed it to them in
q Clearly, sanitary manner. Besides,
pasteurized milk does not disinfect
room where baby lives. neither does
it make him immune from the dis
eases which attack his elders with
whom he is in too close contact.
Teaching the poor, ignorant mothers
is saving the race, and no other class
of women can be better teachers of
the miserable masses than the woman
who holds medical diploma.
