NOW A SPANKING MACHINE
Time viii Be Saved to Housewives.
by an Electric Device That Will Be
Welcome in Every Home.

There should be no bad boys, soil
ed clothing, rheumatic sufferers or
impure air in New York for at least
one week. A body of generous scien-
tific men have found a way to dis
pose of these numerous evils and are
going to take the public into their
confidence at the new Grand Central
Palace, where the 1911 electrical ex-
position opens.
The one contrivance that has
aroused unusual interest, particular
~ among mothers of unruly young
sters, is a spanking machine. This
device, which is operated by electric
ity, is guaranteed so far to surpass
the old fashioned paternal walloping
that the management of the exposi-
ton is confident that it will be well
coined in every home after 1t has
had fair trial. It is so cleverly de-
vised that a mother of large fam
lily, who is frequently interrupted in
her days work to apply the antiquat-
ed spanking to several of her brood,
will find it great time saver.
The only work required of the
tired housewife is strapping the I'M
ruly boy in the machine and pressing
a button, While she is filling the
baby's milk bottle or wrangling with
the ice man the spanking machine
will be merrily whirling, while the
rubber disks beat a steady tattoo on
the area under treatment

Your Money Back If You Are Not
Satisfied With the Medicine.
We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipa-
ton, no matter how chronic it may
be, that we offer to furnish the medi-
cine at our expense should it fail to
produce satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides their use becomes
a habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestine or descending colon.
To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
these organs and restore them to
healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our recommendation. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take, be-
ing eaten like candy, and are ideal
for children, delicate persons, and
old folks, as we'll as for the robust.
They act directly on the nerves and
muscles of the bowels. They appar-
entity have a neutral action on other
associate organs or glands. They
do not purge, cause excessive loose
ness, nor create any inconvenience

time, day or night. They will posi-.
lively relieve chronic or habituaI

or by scooping out a hollow in some
low ground on his farm so that the
water can drain into it.
The state also proposes to allow
5000 to each farm for each pond if
the dam or pond is constructed of
masonry.
1t is not intended that this water
should be used for irrigation, but it
can be used for this purpose if the
farmer desires, and he gets his tax
assessment reduction just the same.
To Stock the Ponds.
The state has had plans made and
printed for building ponds. 1t had
engineers at the state university and
agricultural college draw a dozen
sets of plans for pond construction,
under different conditions, and the
farmers are offered these plans free
of charge. If none of the plans are
suitable to the conditions which the
farmer has to contend with the state
will send an engineer to his farm to
draw special plans for his ponds, and
no charge will be made for this work
or the expenses of the engineer.
In addition to this the state will
furnish trees to plant around the
pond at the cost of transportation.
The state also offers to stock all
these ponds with fish free of charge.
Several associations of farmers in
western Kansas and several bankers
have announced prizes which will be
given for the best yields of different
crops on farms where ponds are be-
ing constructed. In Decatur county
alone farmers have signed agree
ments to construct 1000 ponds this
winter.

COTTON ON BIG TREES
CONSUL DAWSON OF PUERTO
CORTES, HONDURAS, MAKES
INTERESTING REPORT.
A SOUTHERN PLANTER TALKS

Cotton Tree Found in All Parts of
Honduras Reaches Height of 20 to
80 Feet. What a Former Georg-
gian Now a Resident of That
Country Says.
WASHINGTON.-For many wears
stories have come to. the United
States from time to time regarding
the possibility of successfully grow
ing cotton on trees, but few of these
stories have been seriously consid-
cred. Now, however, there is strong
probability not only that the cotton
may be grown, but that the custom
of so doing may be more or less
common within the next few years.
Consul Claude A. Dawson of Puer-
to Cortes has just made the following
report to this government concern
ing the subject:
at is related that during the Cot
ton States exposition at New Orleans,
in the early eighties, there were ex-
hibited, as from Honduras, samples
of native tree cotton and cultivated
cotton grown locally from seed i'm
ported from the United States, and
that during succeeding years some
of the cotton samples remained on
exhibition in the cotton exchange at
New Orleans.
Occasionally an inquiry reaches
this Office as to the possibility and
pTacticability of making commercial
use Of the cotton tree fiber and as to
whether cotton from the United
States could be successfully cult
waited as a money crop.
ct may, therefore, interest Amer
lean planters to know something of
the possibilities of Honduras in this
direction, which can be best told by
an old cotton planter formerly of the
state of Georgia, whose residence of
thirty-odd years in this republic has
not only made him thoroughly &C
quainted with the character of the
soil, climate, ETC., but whose lifelong
acquaintance with the cotton indus
try in the United States enabled him
to intelligently demonstrate those
possibilities.
Speaking of the cotton tree,
which is indigenous to Central
American states, he says:
TT is found in all parts of Hon
duras, from the low coastal lands of
the north, throughout the hill and
mountain region of the interior, to
the mangrove swamps of the Bay of
Fonseca. 1t is literally a tree reach
ing a height of twenty to thirty feet,
with a corresponding spread of
branch It is a perennial growth,
producing a rich foliage and bolls
quite similar in appearance to the
cotton plant of the north. -

being oOlu since January.
BERLIN.-The prices of all kinds
Of meat have risen to such an ex-
tent throughout the Empire that
horse flesh has become an article of
common consumption. In the first
six months Of this year 35,277,495
pounds of horse flesh were sold as
against 45,458,683 pounds of NUT
ton.
In view of the great agitation for a
decrease in import duties on food
stuffs and the abolition of the export
bounty system which raises the price
of fodder the Prussian minister of
agriculture has issued a decree in
which he points out the great differ
ence between wholesale and retail
prices, especially in regard to pork,
which is the faVorite meat of the
Germans, forming more than half of
the total of meat consumed. The
minister enjoins the cities to endeav-
or to bring about an understanding
with the retailers, and if they are
unable to do so to take effective ac-
ton by selling meat, vegetables, fruit
and more especially fish, themselves,
and to this end he promises to ar
range that reduced railroad freight
tariffs shall be accorded to munich
palities which provide retail food
stores for the benefit of their citi-
zens.
Wilmersdorf and other suburbs of
Berlin have already started munich
pal fish stores which are a great sue
cess, and Berlin has just decided to
open 70 stalls for similar purpose
in the public markets. Many pro-
Vincial cities are following suit.

KANSAS COAxING RAIN
THE FARMERS, THE BANKERS
AND THE STATE ARE ALL
SUPPORTING MOVEMENT.
NOVEL SCHEME BEING TRIED

Thousands of Storage Ponds to BE
Built and Trees Planted Around
Them in Hope They May Induce
Increased Precipitation During
the Summer Months.
TOPEKA, Kans.-The farmers OF
this state are embarking on one OF
the most peculiar schemes ever tried
in the country to coax water from
the clouds; and if it should prove
successful they will have many imi-
tators in the dry regions of the west.
Thousands of small reservoirs are to
be built this year to store water and
melting SHOWS, in the belief that wa
ter draws rain and that the ponds
scattered over a wide area will lead
to an increase in the rainfall during
the hot dry months of summer.
It is a well known fact that the
heaviest rains fall along water
courses where there is always open
surface water and where there are
trees. There are not many streams
in western Kansas, but wherever they
are there is usually sufficient rain to
mature the crops every year. By in
creasing the area of surface water
by the building of ponds it is possible
that the rainfall during the hot sum-
mer months, just when rain is needed
most, will be increased. A little pond
with a row Of trees around it also in
creases the beauty of the farm, pro-
vides plenty of water for the stock
and furnishes shade for the stock
and cattle.
State Lends Support.
Bankers, wealthy farmers and even
the state itself are supporting the
movement and urging the expendi-
ture of vast sums in the aggregate
in the building of ponds. The state
has announced that it will relieve
farmers of a share of the taxes each
year if the farmers will build ponds
on their farms. Under the law each
farmer that has a dirt pond that will
hold sufficient water to cover ten
acres of ground one foot in depth is
relieved of 800 valuation on his tax
assessment each year. Four ponds
are allowed for each quarter section
of 100 acres, so that it is possible
for farmer to reduce his tax assess
ment $500 a year by a few days
work building a dam across a ravine
