weeks and complete recovery
after three months, by elimin-

the Salisbury treatment, exclu-

is advocated in all such cases,
and especially in consumption.
Meat is easily digested and con-
tains all the elements of nutri-
ton, but it's mixture with many:
other foods tends to dishar-
mony, which is especially unfa-
vorable to recovery from skin
diseases or cancer.

her they could do nothing whatever
to help her. During that eight years
she had only sol that she did not
earn.
She lived in an attic without any
fire-in Boston winter She studied
in bed to keep warm, her breath MAX
ing frosty clouds upon the air. She
had not food enough to satisfy hunger.
One day she was sitting on the
stairs. She had sat down because she
felt too weak to get to the top. A
woman whom she knew slightly came
along and asked her why she was sit
ting on the stairs. When she found
out she went away and borrowed SCI
from another woman and gave it to
Miss Shaw with the proviso that she
was never to know from whom it
came. That was the only help she
had through her course She repaid
the money after she was graduated
and never knew who lent it.
But about this time she acquired
the warm friendship of Mrs. Persis
Addy, a widow. During the final wear
OF her course Mrs. Addy took her into
her home, and though the student paid
the same board she had been paying,
she had for it the comforts of a good
home and tho devoted care OF Mrs,
Addy. Mrs. Addy had planned to go
to Europe and take Miss Shaw with
her as soon as the latter should have
finished her course. She died Just be-
fore commencement, but in her will
left Miss Shaw $1,000 for the specified
purpose Of taking European trip.
When she was planning this journey
Mrs. Addy's father said to her:
Nov, you will spend that money
and it will be gone forever. Instead
OF cash, let me give you two bonds
worth $1,000 Then l will Keep the
bonds for security and lend you 81, 500
on them. When you get to work YOU
can repay me as convenient, and
when it is all paid the bonds will be
yours again." .a-
She did this, and having acquired a
certain sentiment about the matter,
has done the same ever since. She
has left the bonds on deposit and let
the interest accumulate, and they
have paid the actual travelling ex
penses of her three trips to Europe.
Miss Shaw took the medical course
because during her theological course
she did missionary work in Boston
She found, to use her own words, that
she had nothing the people wanted. "
They did not want either her theology
or her gospel. They wanted help in
their material lives. She took the med.
ical course in order that she nigh:
give them free medical treatment.
It was as a missionary doctor and
preacher In the slums of Boston that
Miss Shaw became convinced that
there were certain defects in an all
male government which called for DO
litical power in the hands of women
She had always believed in woman
suffrage. Now she decided to WORK
for It. She began to speak for the
Massachusetts, Suffrage association
and from that grew her nationa

more frequently than formerly as one traverses
the most travelled roads in America. Such hedges,
however, usually bespeak the indulgence of some
wealthy land holder who is willing to spend freely
for the sake of appearances. The invasion of, the
country districts by this leisure class retired men
of means and socaed gentlemen farmers has also
resulted in the appearance of great numbers of stone
and concrete walls. OF such barriers, like
wise the Uncovered brick walls are costly and par.

thing else which cause re turned travellers to grow

The iron fence has shared in the stimulated
activity but the iron fence, alike to the stone
WALL calls for a pretty heavy outlay, although
if it is kept painted it will endure for many
years that it is rendered fairly reasonable in the
long run. The picket fence, preferably painted
white or white and green, continues to have

originated in New England has spread to many

seen in the latitude now manifested in the height
of the fences in the rural districts A generation
ago pretty much all the fences were about the
same height. Nowadays they vary greatly. In
some instances where the fence hedge is pure
ly ornamental its height is very much restricted
whereas the other hand it is not unusual to en-

west where timber too scarce to be wasted
on rail fences and where there were no stones to
be cleared. The wire fence has proven an even
greater boon to stock raisers, many of whom must
needs fence large tracts and who are not disposed
to bubble over cost if they can get fence thai

or course the dramatic incidents of wire cut
ting days in the cattle country proved that the
wire fence was as easy to destroy as it was quick
to build, but of that turbulent condition is
not that has continued.
And while we are on the subject of the wire
fence it may be noted the regeneration of the
wire fence has been one of the most marked
features OF the present era of more presentabe
farm fences. The treatment that has been &C.
corded many of the old wire fences reminds one
in its ingenious expedient for covering up old ma
terial with new-of the scheme now so frequently
followed in coating old brick houses with layer
of stucco or concrete that gives them a pristine
freshness. In some instances ivy, roses or rap
idlygrowing vines of kind another have
been planted at frequent intervals along wire
fence-say at each post-and in a surprisingly
short time the fence becomes trellis for luxur-
liant growth that is bound to charm even the
most fastidious person and to whom wire
fence unadorned would prove a perfect eyesore.
Another present day ruse for making the wire
fence unobtrusive and yet retaining all it's virtue
as boundary is to have the fence serve as
core for hedge. The bushes shrubs or other
hedge-making vegetation may be planted on eth
err or both sides alternately of the fence and
in a few years the presence of wire strands and
their supporting posts would be complete sur
prise to person who attempted to pass the bar
rier SO completely will they be hidden. Indeed
close growing hedge reinforced by wire fence
has twofold value preventive of trespass
by man or beast and many persons Of wide ex-
perience declare that it is the ideal form. The
hedge may be permitted to grow to any height
and there is, of course, no necessity for farmer
to keep such hedge trimmed in symmetrical
fashion as is done with those in the formal gar
dens 70 the rich.

Until comparatively re-

solely from the stand

was perfectly natural. A

FAMOUS SUFFRA(1|S1
Began Lies Battle Handicapped
by Fate.
Early Struggles of Dr.. Anna Shaw,
Head of the Suffrage Association,
Who Won Success Against
Many Disbursements.

Boston, Mass.-One of the ablest
leaders connected with the woman
suffrage movement in the United
States is DR.. Anna Shaw, president
Of the National Suffrage association
She started for Albion college, in Mich
igan. with just SIS insher pocket. She
had earned that SIS by teaching
school at 81 a week, and after she
had earned it she had to wait one
year for the dog tax to be collected
to get her pay.
DR.. Shaw was born in England, like
these other pioneers Of the suffrage
movement, the Blackwells. But her
parents took her into Michigan SO
years ago, when she was eight, having
stopped four years in Massachusetts
on the way. They travelled days and
days in an old-fashioned prairie
schooner to reach their destination
Then they lived in a log cabin. The
cabin was papered with spare copies
OF Horace Greeley's paper, and Anna
learned to read from the paper on the
walls, beginning with the big letters
IN the advertisements and progressing
to the editorials.
Miss Shaw spent four years in col
lege and another four in the theolog-
ical and medical schools of Boston

own 'lat lie wishes to restricted to given area
But IN the old days no farmer felt that
he could afford to lay out much money in
hXlng such limitations. Almost invariably the
pioneer or early settler in any community
was anxious to find material for his fences
on the place. This will explain the al
most universal use in whole broad farm do
main of the old familiar type of zig-zag rail
fence. And just here be it noted that it is an
admirable type Of fence too. Cheap to construct
II the rails be split from timber on the place;
easy to keep in repair; substantial and enduring:
1t is calculated to yield excellent service This
is the type of fence that Abraham Lincoln con-
structed and its fame may go down to posterity
through the rails which are treasured as precious
relics because he split them
The early settlers in stony districts, such as
New England and certain sections of New York,
including the famous Mohawk Valley in many
instances made their first fences of stone In
this respect they were in one sense ahead of their
times because stone fences are constructed now
adays because of their artistic and picturesque
attributes and are preferred by people to whom
expense is no object. AS matter of fact fence
OF loose stones was never cheap form of con-
structlon. On the fact of things it has always
peen an extravaganza as compared with the rail
renee, but the consideration that leads to it's Sc
lection IN many localities was that the land had

was no more trouble to pile the stones thus col

would serve no good purpose and it took less time

lines than to cart them to some distant dump.
