William Russness was seriously hurt Sat

sion Of dynamite cap which he was pre-
pairing to set OFF a charge Of dynamite while
boring a well
1t appears he was using pair of pliers
to connect the cap to the fuse and dprobably
jammed il a bit too hard which caused the

the explosion his hands were very badly
lacerated and his face suffered terribly.

DENATURED SUGAR FOR CALF
Found to Form Valuable and Econom- ical Addition to Skim MiIk-Re-
 suit of Experiment.

It has been found that denatured sugar forms valuable and economi- cal addition to skim milk for calves. Denatured sugar is sugar to which various ingredients have been added for the purpose of rendering it unfit for human consumption. It is claimed that, contrary to general belief, it does not have an injurious effect on the digestive organs; on the contrary, that it's solubility renders it more di- gestible, and that it has high food value. The amount fed at first is one ounce per quart of skim milk, and 1t Is claimed that 1t can be fed to calves ten days after birth without danger. At first not over 3k ounces is given at feeding, but afterwards the amount may be raised to IA ounces per quart of skim milk.
 Of two lots of four calves each fed on skim milk supplemented by starch and denatured sugar, as an expert ment, the respective profits averaged S13.24 per calf in the lot fed sugar and s6.12 in the lot fed starch. The calves were kept an average of 95 days.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

It is just a year ago that my sis ter came over here to us She had been here only few weeks when her eyes began to be red, and to burn and sting as if she had sand in them Then We used all of the home reme- dies. She washed her eyes with salt water, used hot tea to bathe them with, and bandaged them over night with tea leaves, but all to no purpose. She went to the drug store and got some salve, but she grew constantly worse. She was scarcely able to look in the light. At last she decided to go to doctor, because she could hardly work any more. The doctor said 1t was very severe disease, and if she did not follow his orders close ly she might lose her eyesight He made her eyes burn and applied cleo tricity to them, and gave her various ointments. In the two and half or three months that she went to the doctor, we could see very little im- provement.
 "Then we had read so much how people had been helped by Cuticura that we thought we would try it, and we cannot be thankful enough that we used 1t. My sister used the Cuticura Pills for purifying the blood, bathed only with Cuticufa Soap, and at night after washing, she anointed her eyes very gently on the outside with the Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the swelling was entirely gone from the eyes, and after month there was no longer any mucus or watering of the eyes. She could already see better, and in six weeks she was cured" (Signed) Mrs. Julia Csepicska, 20O5 Utah St., St. Louis, Mo, Aug. 25, 1910.

Bsrmaids in South Australia.

South Australia is suffering from a barmaid famine. Two years ago bar maids were abolished in that state by act of parliament. No more could be legally engaged, but those already em- ployed could remain on condition that they registered themselves.
 There are now only 400 of them left, and the competition for their sery- ices is such that their wages have jumped from 25 shillings to G3 a week The hotels that have had to employ barmen report a considerable change for the worse in their receipts.

WAS TAKING NO CHANGES
Chauffeur Had Had Enough Accidents With People Wearing False.
 Teeth.

Pretty Thais X, who has delighted the audiences of New Yorks vaude- vile houses, was called suddenly to Vermont to visit her sick mother. At a town few miles from her parents home she hired an automobile and asked the chauffeur to drive her with as much speed as possible to her destination.
 The roads were very bad, and the car, making good speed up hill and down dale, ., over rocks and ruts, seemed bound to shake overheard it's occupants.
 After a little of this jolting the chauffeur turned to his fare and de- manded:
 T say, ma'am. Do you wear false teeth?"
 What impudence!' exclaimed Thais K
 "Oh, ma am, it is not from impu- dence," returned the chauffeur, that I asked you the question. It is be- cause the road is bad, the rocks are hard, and if you wear false teeth, you would do well to remove them until we strike the pike. I've had enough accidents of that description

MEMORY BAD
 MIND GOING
But Mrs. Perry of Rolita, Built Up Her Shattered Nervous System
 By Taking Cardui.

Roiita, Tenn.-"I suffered with sick headache for three years" says Mrs. Lizzie Perry, in a letter from this place. "I was so nervous at times, could hardly bear it.
 I had the blues, and everybody thought I was losing my mind. My memory was bad. I had pains in my side, and 1 was hardly able to go.
 I would have been in my grave if I had not taken Cardui. Now I am stronger than I ever was before, and I feel like a new person.
 I am thankful for what Cardui has done for me. wish all women who suffer would take Cardui, and be hap py and healthy"
 Cardui's success in benefiting and curing sick and ailing women, is due to the fact that it is building tonic for the nerves, as well as for the phy- sical system.
 Being composed exclusively of vege- table ingredients, which act gently and sympathetically in a natural way, it does it's work safely, reliably, and without bad after effects.
 Fifty years of success prove these facts.
 Isn't it reasonable to believe that Cardui will help you? Ask your drug gist.
 It is certainly worth trying.
