Sixty women of the Congregation
parish met in the vestry yesterday af-
ternoon and told how they earned dol
lar each, which they contributed as the
first money toward the fund for provid-
ing larger quarters for the Sunday
school. Some not present sent their dol

of how the money was earned some
told in rhyme, were varied, interesting

The machine was travelling at a good
rate when a forward wheel struck a
stone in the road The impact turned
the steering wheel in Mr.. Tudors grasp
and the car went careening down the
eight-foot bank and into an apple Or
chard. Mrs. Tudor was thrown through
the Windshield and sustained several
cuts, but no bones were broken and she
was brought to her home here. Mr., Tu-
dor was not injured and the car was
not damaged as he threw on the emer-
gency brake. Mrs Tudor was able to sit
up Monday, and has practically recov-
cred from the shock.
Recent improvements and the addi-
ton of new equipment make the cloth
ing store of II. p. Wellman &
Co. extremely attractive and thor
oughly modern in every respect. The
latest addition in the way of equipment
is a large plate glass clothing cabinet,
of dark oak frame and dark marble
base, in which are hung the blue AMI
black suits protected from the dust.
The hangers are suspended from a met
al support so arranged that II will re-
volve easily, bringing the suits from the
rear of the cabinet to the front as de-
sired Farther down the store are sew
eral oxijized metal standards support
ing long rows of hangers on which are
suspended the overcoats, raincoats and
suits other than blue and black. The in
stalation OF the cabinet and standards
has enabled the firm to discard the
tables on which the clothing formerly
was piled, except a few for the odd
trousers. etc. A new show case of the
silent salesman" type has been added
making four of these modern pieces OF
store furniture. They are of plate glass
with dark marble bases. Other conven-
lent fixtures have been put In recently
also new shelving, and the whole in
terror has been decorated In white
greatly improving the appearance OF

Captain Monte set out in an aero

The woman who "keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she il weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, houseWOrk becomes
9 heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain Of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of ''blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills APP
pears, together with a discolored condi-
tion of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
ous, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

so you can see the difference"
After q bit their instructor brought
out two hogs. Berkshire and
Large Yorkshire, and proceeded with
his lesson Calling the boys up close,
he said, These two pigs are being
fed for the butcher. One is Berk-
shire and we say he is Of the lard
type. The white hog is of the bacon
type. First, notice the backs of the
two. One is very broad. and when
you place your hand on it it feels
mellow. That back Is wide and
thick with a covering of fat. This
the butcher usually cuts of IN long,
thick slices and melts them down
into lard You notice the back Of the
white one is much narrower and it
does not feel so mellow under the
hand as does rhe other. Now, l will
Ehange the position of these hogs SO
you can see them from q side view.
What do you see?"
"The white one Is the longer"
said the two boys together "Yes,"
said the professor, when hog
shows narrow back and long sides,
we say he is of the bacon type. If
the back Is thick and fat, the sides
are almost sure to be so and you do
not get good bacon. If the back is
harrow and the sides are long and
deep, with not too much fat on them,
we get the best kind of bacon. That
white hog is said to be of the bacon
type because his form plainly shows
bacon production. Some years ago
people in America did not care much
for bacon, but now it is becoming pop
ular Did you ever hear of the Irish
mans pig, which is said to be made up
of streak of fat and a streak of lean
and then another streak of fat and an
other streak of lean? Well, the bacon

"Now, that 1 thiEk Of 1t, have. seen
both kinds among those father feeds"
said Jim.
"There Is an important lesson in
that said the professor. "You can't
mix up the type of market hogs and
get as good price for load, as you
type. The butcher always sorts over
his purchases and he pays more for
them when they are alike in type
than when they are otherwise. Come

BOY DISCOVERS THE BODIES

Appleton, Wis.-There is much mys
terry over the discovery of four dead
bodies in the farm house OF Lewis
Mailahn, near Binghamton. fifteen
miles northwest Of this city. The IA
ther was dead. from a gunshot wound
and his three children had their
throats cut. A suicide and double
murder is suspected.
The dead:
Lewis Mailahn, aged sixty-six years;
shot In head; William Mailahn, aged
twenty-one years; Dora Mailahn,
aged sixteen years: John Mailahn.
aged eight years.
The bodies were discovered by
George Mailahn. aged fifteen years
when he returned from the district
school, which is two miles from his
home. The boy found his sister life
less on the kitchen floor He informed
his brother, Walter, aged fourteen
who accompanied him from school,
and another brother, Edward, aged
twenty,four who had brought the two
home on a sled on which he had been
hauling wood.
The Oldest brother Immediately
notified the district attorney.
Lewis Mailahn's body was found ir
the barn, and those of John and vii
liam were discovered in the smoke
house.
The opinion Of those who visited
the home is that William Mailahu
was responsible for the four deaths
William Mailahn, according to the
neighbors. had been acting strangely
The supposition is that he murdered
his father, sister and brother and then
took his own life He had been angry
at his father since last fall.
A fancied grievance over favors ex
tended to other members Of the fam
lily is thought to have inspired the
deed.
Presumably the three who were
slain were attacked while performing
their accustomed duties about the
farm.

In doing spraying Of any kind it Is,
of course, supposed that the fruit
grower will be supplied with good
equipment. A good spray pump and
one that has strong agitator is es-

reason why many farmers have not

that they have attempted to spray

course, is practically useless. Fifteen

of the same color type and breed
Now" said the teacher, Il am go

drove out a bunch of red and black
and black and white pigs. do you
see the difference?" said he. YES"
said each boy, and Luke whispered to
Jim, Those black beauties for me
every time"
The professor then ed the boys
to another part of the yard and said,
Before we leave this little lesson on
judging hogs, want to show you
something important that l have not
spoken of. l am going to have two
hogs brought out for you to see. "
Soon an attendant brought out two
hogs and these were placed side by
side, with their hinder parts nearest
the boys. Pointing to the one near
est him, the teacher said. Here at
this end are the hams, the most valu.
able meat in the hog in the opinion
of many. Now there Is a great deal
OF difference in hogs here. Some have
long. thick. deep, meaty hams. while
others have long but thin hams. with
out so much meat on them. Do you
see how thick this black hog is here
in its hams, how wide apart it stands
on its hind legs because its mans are
so thick and meaty that it can't get
it's feet close together? Then notice
the white one How thin its hams
are, and how It's legs stand much
closer together! It's hams are not
very good. The truth of it is. If a
