great variation in the height of the corn, even
in the same field, the binding attachments are
given great range OF operation and in some
machines they are placed as high as go

averages about $3.50. Corn shockers cost
about much as corn binders and weigh ap

acres of corn per day at a total expense Of

The fundamental features OF the corn
shocker are the circular rotating cutters
which cut the corn as the machine advances

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
if this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predispOsition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities Just little in a glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, Is and SOC a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co, Boston, Mass.

leguminous crops, the application Of manure,

been rendered more profitable by rearranging
the fields in order TO make them more uniform as
regards moisture and soil fertility. Soil wash
ing that is, the washing away OF the surface
soil-one of the bugbears of corn growing-is
being prevented by systematic means such as
were almos, unheard of a few years ago.
The big problem Of fertilizers is one which
touches the very heart OF the corn growing
industry and the experts in and out Of the
government service have prepared very eX
pict directions for enabling the corn grower
10 add to his soil nitrogen whatever other
ingredients are most needed to produce the
longedf for prize ears of corn. It has been
found upon Investigation that many farmers
have had very different ideas as to how corn
should be planted and cultivated but at the
same time it mas been discovered that no
hard and fast rules can be laid down as ap
plicabe to the whole country The corn

HERE is no branch OF agricultural
cctivity in the United States
where the past few years has
Witnessed greater improvement
in methods OF cultivation and har-
vesting than in the sphere of corn
growing. This is as it should be
for corn is easily one of our
most important crops. Indeed,
although the fact is not generally
recognized. it is a greater wealth
producer-c0nsidered in the broad
sense-than is the wheat crop.

TWO MORE DETAILS
 ARE GOING TO TEXAS
Adjutant General Scully Says Such Is Order From the War
 Department

Adjt. Gen. Joseph B. Scully was in Bir- mingham yesterday and announced that orders from the war department were to the effect that two more details should be sent to Texas from Alabama militia mem bers. One of the details will be sent to the front May and another on May 70 according to General Scully
 It was believed here that the plans of an armistice had advanced to such an ex- tent that no further details from state troops would be authorized. However. the opinion of General Scully seems to be that the Mexican trouble is far from ad' indication. It is stated that the troops nav remain in Texas and along the MeXi- can border indefinitely and that an ln- yasion of Mexico vase not without the range of possibilities.
 General Scully said he would designate the officers to make the trip within a few days.
 He said yesterday that conference would be held here within few days with local officials relative to the serious charges made before the commission con cerning city hall misconduct and every effort would be exercised to get at the real bottom of the complaint.

DAME NATURE HINTS When the Food Is Not Suited

When Nature gives her signal that
 something Is wrong it is generally with the food; the old Dame is always faith- full and one should act at once. To put off the change is to risk that which may be irreparable. An Arizona
 man says
 For years could not safely eat any
 brealIfast. 1 tried all kinds of break. fast foods. but they were all soft, starchy messes, which gave me dis tressing headaches. I drank strong coffee, too which appeared to benefit me at the time, but added to the head
 aches afterwards. Toast and coffee were no better. for I found the toast very constipating.
 "A friend persuaded me to quit coffee
 and the starchy breakfast foods and use Postom and Grape Nuts instead. shall never regret taking his ads vice.
 The change they have worked in me Is wonderful. I now have no more Of tre distressing sensations in my stor:- ach after eating, and l never have any ,cudaches. I have gained F pounds in weight and feel better in every way Grape Nuts make a de,iclous as wolf as a nutritious dish, and I find that

 MT. Pendley was given life sentence four years ago at Montgomery as result Of trouble in which he became involved there. He served from that time until few weeks ago in Flat Top mines, where, owing to his aptitude for clerical work, he was given assignment in that part of the prison work.
 He embraced every opportunity to maks money and was permitted to carry on eX- tensive correspondence, saving as a re- suit a considerable amount of money while still in prison. During Governor Comer's administration a movement was started to secure his pardon, which was effected recently. He Is a native of Texas, but has elected to spend the remainder Of his life in benevolent work in Alabama, devoting his time mainly to prison work, assisting the prisoners religiously and charitably.

MINE RESCUE MEN TODR|LL LF|REMEN Chief Bennett's Men May Be Taught Use of Smoke
 Helmets

With the official announcement yester- day that the firemen of Birmingham would be drilled free by the bureau of mines rescue corps in their smoke rooms is indicated an entirely new benefit that will probably be derived from the loca- ton of that institution in this city.
 A. R. Brown, foreman of the rescue sta- tion,s announced yesterday that he would make an offer to Chief Bennett soon, and that he hoped the firemen would be per- mitted to take advantage of it.
 "We drill classes in smoke-filed rooms about once every week." said MT. Brown yesterday
 If the firemen care to, we will drill them free in the work of entering smoke charged rooms equipped with government rescue helmets. This service would be beneficial for the reason that at almost any time the firemen may be called upon to enter buildings so filled with smoke as to suffocate them if they are unprotected. If on the other hand they are equipped with smoke proof helmets with air suf- ficient to last two hours, they can fight fire without danger, and atShe same time rescue any persons who may be uncon- scious from smoke and bring them to fresh air and safety
 MT. Brown said that absolutely no ex- pense would be attached to the drilling. as the government was interested in drill ing fremen the same as miners.

EXAMINER BROOKS
 NAME IS MENTIONED
May Be Offered Position as Head of the City's Financial
 Department

Tn filling the position at the head of the finance department of the city, the Board of Commissioners it is understood, will take into consideration H. Y. Brooks, state examiner of public accounts.
 It was learned yesterday that MT. Brooks, who is now in Birmingham, is rot aloof to taking a position with the city, provided the compensation is ade- ouate, and that he would take up work for the commissioners if they requested him to do so and made satisfactory terms
 In the reorganization of the city finan- cial department the question of a head for that department will be rather serious. The commissioners have let it be known that they will take plenty of time to de- eide that point and that most worthy and competent man will be designated.
 George Eustis. comptroller of the public Improvement fund, formerly city treas urer, is one in addition to MT. Brooks who will be seriously considered for the place when the time arrives for it's final solution
