 WIFE DRIVES MAN
 TO TRY SUICIDE

St. Louis, Aug. 9.-Philip s. Kicker son, 26, a salesman who attempted suicide by slashing his wrists, with a razor. declared in a hospital yester- day, that he wanted to die because his wife of seven months hugged and kissed him too much.
 She hugged and kissed me so much it got on my nerves, Nickerson de- clared. "I love my wife but she wasn't reasonable. When I arrived home she would begin to kiss me and for the rest of the evening she'd either keep on kissing me Or insist upon sitting on my lap. I didn't have time to smoke my pipe or to do anything else. It was nothing but kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss g

HONEST MEDICINES
 VERSUS FAKES.

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs law in it's relation to Prepared Medicines, does rot refer to such standard medicines as Foley 5 Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of in gradients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical pro- tession itself as the best known rem edial agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract. For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has been a standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat. chest and lungs for chil- dren and for grown persons, and it retains today its pre-eminence above all other preparations of its kind. Fo- ley Kidney Pills are equally effective and meritorious. F. B. Brill and Cur tis Pharmacy. P3 s135

against his native State and he believed
that 1t was absolutely necessary for
every man to throw himself heart and
soul into the struggle. rocking not OF
self or anything else save the best SER

Hence his mind was so wholly oc-

found no time to array himself in fine

This absorption in patriotic duty ex

when at home no man could have been
moro particular and immaculate in his
dress than General Jackson.
General Jackson was no lover OF
war. declaring emphatically how he
deprecated 1t, and only the sternest
sense of duty drove MIN into It; but
having been educated as a soldier, he
felt impelled to discharge every rule
according to military regulations, and
hence he was often misjudged as harsh
and unjust by those who had less
knowledge of military law. though his
heart was really as tender as that of
woman. ! remember In one of my
visits to Lexington, Va. General Lee
said TO me so sadly: "Ah! Mrs Jack
son, II all OF our officers and men had
done their duty as your husband did,
the result of the war would have been
very different"

A NOVEL INCUBATOR.
Suspended in Pool of Natural Hot
Water from Artesian Well.

From St. Nicholas.
On a ranch in a valley of the Colorado
desert new and strange method of
Matching chickens is being practiced.
Many artesian wells are in this valley to
furnish water for irrigation.
One hole was drilled for $50 feet into
with a temperature OF 102 degrees. Since
chicks will hatch when eggs are kept just
as warm as this for twenty-one days, the
people who own this well decided to use
its heat to hatch eggs.
The earth was dug away from the pipe
so that the water as it flowed over formed
a pool in which an incubator can be SUBJ
merged. A round can of galvanized iron
was made eighteen inches in diameter
and six inches deep with a chimney pro-
jecting above the water. BY stretching
the arm and hand down this chimney the
eggs are placed on straw on the bottom
of the can. In this way. too. they are
turned twice each day. and out of the
chimney the chicks are drawn when two
days old. They are then placed in brood
ers.
The can is securely fastened in the
warm pool by weights. The only things
that appear above the water are the
chimney and the end of a small tube
which is inserted in the bottom Of the
can and curves upward. Through the
chimney the foul air rises and escapes
Into the tube rushes fresh air with moist
ure which ascends as vapor from the
water. Both are necessary to give health
and strength to the little birds growing
in the shells. These chicks are as strong
as any chicks have ever been, and hatch
ed in this way it is claimed that they are
out of their shells one day earlier than
when a hen sits on the eggs.
