ders, dizziness and nervousness, it's

BILE, and you should seek a remedy

Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use. No need to experiment. 1t has
cured many stubborn cases in Staun-
ton. Follow the advice of a Staunton
citizen and be cured yourself.

sential and remember that the Arst
years growth is the most important
in their lives. :
Alfalfa mixed with other legunAs
and grasses will provide . great
amount Of feed and pleasing variety
for all classes Of cattle.
Forage crops for soiling will. keep
the young stock growing and main
tain the milk flow of the COWS when
the pastures get dry in late Sumner.
Don't let the high prices Of wheat
and feed grains induce you to curtaM
your live stock operations. Stock
keeping Is an absolute necessity in
modern farming.
It's great loss when the stock
does not have plenty Of green forage.
Temporary pastures Of the small
grains provide fine pasture and are
not nearly appreciated.
This season is unusually late and
pasturage is far behind the average
season. It will pay to keep the pas.
lures in good thrift and not have them
gnawed down to the roots at the be-
ginning of summer.
The breeding bull should be kept In
thrifty condition at all times. He
needs good care and feed to do this.
The sire's physical condition at the
time of breeding exerts much inllu-
ence on the offspring.
One of the great advantages Of
mixed grasses for pasture il that diff
ferent varieties mature at different
seasons and some Of them are at
their prime feeding value at all times
of the pasturage season.

HOW 1T FEELS TO
AWAKE IN JUNGLE
HE GOT DRUNK AND SAW LADY REP.
TILE ALONG WITH OTHERS,
SAYS REPTILE DEALER.

SAYS REPTILE DEALER.
"When you are working in the jungle
you always awake in the morning with
a feeling of uncertainty" says an
American civil engineer, who recently
returned to this country from western
Brazil, where railroad is being con-
structed through the forest. sOf course,
surveying party simply has to hew
its path as it goes along, and your camp
is usually in clearing just big enough
to contain it. About it is thick wall
of trees, vines and underground that a
man cannot pierce without the aid of
an ak, but which of course are filled
with every manner of creeping things.
"When you awake in the morning,
for instance, you may see playful
snake wrapped around the pole over
head, giving every appearance of Sc
lecting the proper point from which to
drop into your mouth. You may feel
something soft and clammy rub up
against your ear, and when yon grab
at it to fling it away, you find it is a
lizard. Or perhaps scorpion may be
playing with your hair.
"Then, when you have decided to get
up and reach for your boots you are apt
to find that a big tarantula has made
up his mind that one of them would
make comfortable house, and has put
himself. and his legs in there so costly
and nice that you hate to disturb him.
We caught one of these johnnies and
killed him and measured him, and
without stretching him at all, it was
eight inches from the tips of his star
board legs to those he carried on the
port side.
"Perhaps your other shoe has been
appropriated by family of giant cen
tipedes, which abound in large guam
titles.
GAS for snakes, the Garden of Eden
wasn't in it at all. Some of the big
ones, the anacondas, are as big around
as your body, and it was not unfre-
quent that some of our men in chop
ping away at what they thought were
giant roots or vines found they had
taken hack instead at big snake,
and then there was some scampering.
'sOne of these big fellows that was
killed by the men of our party meas
ured 2S feet. We had him skinned
and photographed just for proof. You
never see the sun when you are in a
Brazilian jungle, but there is always
something going on, even, if it is only
crawling"

Sheep Manure.

Prof. Roberts of Cornell University
says the fertilizer produced by a sheep
in a year is worth $S.17. While the
most of this is left in the pasture, ita
value to the farmer depends much
upon the condition of the grass there.
Many of our pastures are in such con.
dition that they need breaking up and
reseeding as much as they do fertil-
izers, and until something Is done ia
remedy. this trouble the value of the
manure made by the sheep would to
some extent be wasted. We know
that the sheep improves the pasture
by killing many varieties Of weeds,
and thus gives the grass better
chance; but the sheep should not be
forced to live entirely upon weeds.

HALF BILLION IN CANDY.
AMERICAN PEOPLE SPEND THAT MUCH
ANNUALLY ON CONFECTIONARY.
(ErOp, tho Nau, Vorly PreSc

From the New York Press.)
The American woman is known for
her sweet tooth. Neither in London,
Paris nor Berlin do you see so much
candy eaten during the matinee per-
formances in the theatres, nor are the
CONNECTIONS made to serve the purpose
of informal gifts to girls so much as
here
But it is rather surprising to liarn
from member of the breed of inde-
fatigable staticians that the people of
the United States spend little less than
$500, 900, 600 year on candy, and, of
course, the greatest amount is spent by
or for women. Dentistry items are not
included in the tables compiled by the
statisticians. For several years it has
been an acknowledged fact that the
United States consumed as much candy
as all the rest of the world put togeth-
er; but since 1907 the candy appetite
has grown to such an extent that the
United States now accounts for two
thirds of the entire candy output of the
civilized world.
1t is not generally known, however,
that immigrants are the greatest con-
sumers of candy in America. In New
York fully one-half of the city's candy
bill is said to be paid by the men, wo-
men and children of the tenement
house district, and that becomes all the
more significant when differences in
prices between the Grand street and
Broadway candy stores is taken into
consideration.
Physicians who are aware of this al
most inordinate appetite for sweets
among the poorer classes say. New
York has every reason to congratulate
itself that it has brought good instead
of evil results.
Not many years ago most of the
candy sold, especially in the smaller
stores, was almost poisonously impure
injurious acids and dyes being used in
the manufacture Medical men say
that if candy of that quality had been
eaten in the quantities that candy is
eaten today it would have had terri
BILE effect on the health of the genera
ton now approaching maturity.
Today, however, it is reasonably safe
to buy candy elsewhere, and it's con-
sumption is especially advocated in
temperance circles as minimizing the
likelihood of the growth of a taste for
drink.

How Strange IS a Kiss.

A kiss is peculiar proposition. OF
no use to one, yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing, the
young man has to steal it, and the old
man has to buy it. The baby's right,
the lovers privilege, the hypocrite's
mask. To a young girl, faith; to a
married woman, hope; and to an old
maid, charity.

A good way to get good light In

RurIed on His Horse.

Lord Dacre. who died fighting for tho
Lancastrians at Towton, England, in
1851, directed that If he were killed In
the battle his favorite war horse should
be buried In the same grave with him.
According to his wishes, when his In
terment took place In Saxon church.
yard after the battle a tremendous
grave was dug, and In it the warrior
was buried, seated upright on bis
horse. For centuries reflections were
cast upon the accuracy Of this tradi-
ton, but some years ago while exca-
vations were being made close by the
reputed burial place Of Lord Dacre the
pick of digger struck into great
bone, and upon further search being
made the skull Of big horse was
brought to the surface. AS this was
found almost at the very spot under
which the body Of Lord Dacrc was
said to lie it was accepted as conhrna-
ton OF the tradition, particularly as the
skull was found to be standing Verti-
cally In the SOIL The skull was re-
placed carefully in It's original position
and the excavation filled up.

Queer Creatures.

There are microscopic creatures

bark of trees and are known as water
bears and wheel animalculae. If al

they Gun be seen to shrlvel into shape
less masses, which may be kept for
years uninjured In the dried state. On
being placed, after this long interval
in water they gradually plump up, re-
sumo their proper shape and move
about In search Of food just as If moth
ing had happened. Much the same Is
true for the minute worms which,
from the substances In which they
i've, are known rs paste and vinegar

of the desert snail which, retracted
