DO farmers eat the proper

larger proportion of the food that goes

SOMETHING ABOUT CoFFINs.
Wood Collins Burst Open After They
Become Water-SOaked.

DSCOIl6 NdIGE-OOdkeus
The sinking of the earth in ceme-
teries is mostly due to a settling
down and crushing in of the casket
by the weight of the ground. This
always follows in short time where
casket made of wood is buried.
The wood swells, bursts open or
inevitably rots away and the remains
of the dead lie in the dirt or water
filled grave a long time before COM
plete dissolution takes place.
Only the richest people have been
able to avert this disaster until the
Lead-Coated-Steel casket was pro-
duced within the reach Of the aver
age person.
This burial receptacle is made in
to practically one piece of heavy
steel and rendered more indestructi-
bic by double coating of thick lay
ers of pure lead. The cost of these
caskets does not exceed the expense
of the average wood casket and it is
now possible for everybody to bury
their dead in a manner that will give
absolute protection.
Lead-Coated-Steel caskets are now
shown in a large number of styles
and furnished exclusively to the
patrons of A. ]. Baldwin & Co.

sIovenIy kept one? The most de-
sirable class of people and more of
them locate in the we'll kept towns.
This helps pay taxes and widens So
cial and educational horizons. The
advantages are all and always in ia
vor of a community that takes pride
in it's improvements and appearance.
There is great need of more in
terest in rural improvement by the
individual farmer, as we'll as the
resident in a town. This work can
well begin at home, and few hours
well directed in picking up about
the place, getting the machinery out
of the front yard and picking up the
debris about the house will have a
stimulating effect upon every mem
Der of the household, not to mention
the amount contributed to the pleas
ure of passers- by.
With very little trouble and at a
moderate expense a lawn can be we'll
kept and made attractive with shrubs
and flower beds. When a mans own
dooryard is clean he can join with
others in the improvement of school
yards, cemeteries, highways, public
buildings, etc. Many school yards
are a sight to behold" and the
teacher is not always to be blamed
Children readily reflect the condi-
tons they find at home, and if they
are accustomed to throw all sorts of
unsightly objects in the yard at home
they will likely do the same at
school
In many cases the school yards
need remodeling and perhaps some
grading done. There may be a lot
OF powders to remove and a few
trees to be set. A "bee" called for
the purpose would bring in men and
women young and old, the men do
ing the heavy work and the women
providing coffee and perhaps a
lunch, Aside from the Improvement
the occasion might provide a gem
ulne picnic and be thoroughly en-
]oyable. The operations can be con-
tnued to the setting of shade trees
along the highways. In most rural
cemeteries a little time could be we'll
spent in making them more attract

EX-NuLLIONAIRE A DETECTIVE.
Charles DonneIIy Getting 500
Month. Sued For Board.

/ Charles Donnelly Getting 500 a
Month. Sued For Board.
A Pittsburg dispatch tells the
story of how a court officer serving
summons on Charles Donnelly, Jr.,
found him serving as a county de-
tective at a salary of $50 a month.
Donnelly is the son of Charles Dom
nelly, the well-known Pittsburg coal
and gas man, whose fortune was
roughly estimated at $10,OOO,000
when he died some years ago. The
son inherited a great part of this
fortune, and it appears he lost it.
A fashionable boarding house
keeper is trying by law to collect
$500 back board from Donnelly for
the entertainment at her boarding
house Of his wife and daughter.
Donnelly says the boarding house
keeper and her family are related
to him, and that he and his wife and
daughter stopped at their house by
invitation.
Mrs. Donnelly was Miss Alene
Stocking of Atlanta, who years ago
married Charles Clark, another rich
pittsburger whose fortune went in
night through a court decision.
Later she was divorced from Clark,
and within a short time married the
then very rich Charles DonnelIy, Jr.

Newport, r. l.. Aug. 17.-After sign

Former Mayor Frederick P. Garretson

Mr.. Garretson has been active in

Yesterday he called the attention of
the police chief to the fact that on one
of the streets. gambling device. con-
sisting of a revolving wheel of the
roulette pattern, with an American flag
bearing numbers and serving as
LAY out" was in operation.
The former mayor demanded that
the chief have the device removed. on
the dual grounds that it was desc
Grafton of the flag and that it was also
illegal inasmuch as it was operated for
gambling purposes.
Chief Crowley ordered the flag re-
moved, but, according to Mr. Garrett
son, did not stop the operation of the
wheel.
Warm words were exchanged be-
tween Messrs. Crowley and Garretson
and, it is alleged. the chief placed his
