AMERICAN INVENTIONS.
iii -Agriculture.
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN.
Agriculture.

In no other realm have the labors OF
the American inventor served a better
purpose than in the development OF the
apparatus with which the farmer pro-
duces the things men eat and the raw
materials from which he makes his cloth
ing. without the farm machinery which
the American inventor has given the
world, mankind still would be q race Of
small farmers. There could be no big
cities: a thousand arts and sciences
could flourish only in an Indifferent way;
mans principal battle would be to get
the bare necessities Of life-its luxuries
would be out of the question.
The development Of agricultural ma
chinery has so enhanced the productive
power of the individual farmer that fully
three-fourths OF those who formerly OBJ
tanned their living by tiliing the soil now
may find profitable occupation in other
vocations.
The economists declare that every re-
duction in the cost Of food production
works unreasonable benefit to the en-
tire race, benefiting in turn every trade
and profession In which men engage.
That the American inventor has been
able to effect such q reduction Is shown
by the cost Of harvesting century ago
and now According to q reliable compi-
lation Of figures. to cut an acre Of wheat
with the old-time sickle cost $4.90. When
the grain cradle was. brought into service
the cest Of harvesting was reduced TO
s2GO an acre The modern binder re-
duoed that cost to $1.25 an acre. The big
steam harvester-threshers have lowered
1t to 80 cents an acre.
when the Chicago worlds fair was held
a delegation Of foreign agriculturists was
taken to q big Dakota ranch and SHOWN
how the American wheat crop is har-
vested at a smaller cost bushel than
the cost Of the mere food OF slave labor
under old-time conditions. 1t Is estimated

Catarrh of tine Stomach.
A pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
Effectual Cure For It.

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been consid
cred the next thing to incurable. The usual
symptoms a full or bloating sensation after
eating, accompanied sometimes with sour OF
watery risings. a formation Of gases. causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing, headaches, tickle appetite. nervous
ness ard general played out. languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and II the interior Of the stomach
could be seen 1t would show a Shiny, !niamed
condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate trou-
BILE is found in a treatment which causes the
food to be readily, thoroughly digested before
it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces OF the stomach. To seclre a
prompt and healthy digestion is the one ueces-
sary thing to do. and when normal digestion is
secured tho catarrhal condition Will have disap-
pcared.
According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and
best treatment Is to use after each meal a tab
let, composed of Diastase. Aseptic Pepsin. u
little Nux. Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug stores
under the name Of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
and not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion Will follow their
regular after meals.
Mr.. r. s. Workman. Chicago, H., writes:
..Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head. whereby the lining
membrane Of the nose becomes infiGmed and the
poisono Is discharge therefrom, passing back
ward into the throat, reaches the stomach. thus
producing catarrh Of the stomach. Medical au-
thorities prescribed for me for three years for

welcoming him to his home. That
this was hardly safe line Of reason
ing any one who knew the Wallo-

that Mr.. Walloway was somewhat per-

peraments. Just so it Is with color.
We cannot always give reason for
our preferences. but we are sure they
exist. and most people are sensitive
to color to a greater or less degree.
Ones favorite color brings repOse and
enjoyment. is conducive to health and
exercises an actual influence on our
life and moods. But even in crafty
ing this preference wisdom must be
shown. for there are many colors Of
which little is enjoyable when a
mass would be uncomfortable. Constant
ly surrounded by glow Of vivid scar
let would be like close companionship
with brass band. but touch Of
scarlet amid dull surroundings is a
pleasing sensation.
AS fur as effect is concerned. the
color of room makes its atmosphere.
1t may be cheerful or sad. coy or dis
turbing. according to its quality and
force. Without color 81 room is much
like a bare canvas. which might. but
does not. give vivid picture OF some
phase Of life. The colorleSs room has
nothing to tell of the character of its
occupants.
Color in a house includes much that
is classed IS furniture. 1t applies to
carpets. draperies and ornaments. but
it is first and pre-eminently applied to
wall treatment. In selecting color for
single room or for an entire house
certain points must be borne in mind.
The first is that one person does not
make home. 1t takes the combined
influence and personality of every per-
son living under the roof to give its
true character Every book. every pic
ture. every carefully selected piece Of
furniture. brought into the house
makes it n part Of IL beautiful whole.
and no house can be absolutely perfect
without all these evidences OF family
life.
Good rules to follow in selecting col
ors for any room are to make the
choice on this basis:
With reference to the light in the
room.
With reference to other colors in ad-
Joining rooms.
With reference to the general char
acter Of the furnishing.
Interiors with southern exposure
should be treated with cool, light col
ors. such as blues and green's In
various tones. water green. emerald
green and blue green; also the SILL
very tones OF gray. iiooins III which
little sunlight is admitted must be
frightened aud be- given the effect Ut
sunlight This may he impaired by
using warm cUlors III its decorations.
These are yellow. red brown. reds.
yellow with hint OF red. olive and
gold green.
1t Is we'll to bear in mind that al
most every color has cold and a
warm tone. The first is produced by
combining blue or green with the orig
inal color, while the warm tone Is
made by combining rcd or yellow with
1t. Thus brown With hint of blue Is
cold. while brown With a hint Of red
