FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health of its different members Is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
It's effect is appreciated One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwelrs Syru1 Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in it's
action on the bowels, yet positive in
It's effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin il soc and S1.OO
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. w. b. Caldwell,
201 Washington ST., Monticello, ILL.,,

any expense to you whatever.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, In 1882. became afflicted with
boils. which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being infamed
most Of the time. There would be
water blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, SO much so
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, / doctored with the best ply
sicians OF this part Of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX

the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,

notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until I was
well again, and have not had re-
currence of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. l have recon-

ever since, and have great faith In
them as remedies for skin diseases"

After all, however, it is in the various stages
of the transportation of the logs that the snow
and ice yield the greatest aid First or all II SIM
pliies the operation of skidding or dragging the
log lengths from the depths OF the forest. Ih1s
work formerly done by horses, mules or
oxen, and is yet to some extent, but for the most
part the modern donkey engine has suppanted all
other forms of energy for skdding. Supposedly
the skdding operation is designed only to get
the logs out of the forest depths where no log
carrying vehicle could be operated without Infinite
trouble and damage to the standing timber How
ever when the Snow King is in command it some
times happens that similar method may be en-
ployed for moving the logs to the roWay or stor-
age yard, perhaps mile or two distant, where
the logs are held to await the spring freshets or
loaded aboard railroad cars that convey them
to the mills. For this long distance log trailing
there is employed more powerful type of engine
than the donkey above referred to and stronger
wire cable is supplied. The pathway for the logs
is an icy boulevard-kept in condition by flood
ing" circumstances require-and this becomes
smooth from the polishing process afforded by
the passage of the logs that it is practicable to
transport at each operation not merely single
log but whole strings of logs attached end to
end by means of stout chains.
At some lumber camps it is the practice to en-
ploy giant sleds to carry the logs on the first
stage of their journey from the forest to the
mill. OF course snow is requisite to the salts
factory operation of these seds but when
path has been for the sled runners along
the icy roads the vehicles traverse the line thus
furrowed with facility suggestive Of that with

Plans for Tuberculosis Day.

Sermons on the prevention of con-
sumption will be preached in thou
sands of churches on April %, which
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis has
set aside tuberculosis day. Last year
out of 100000 churches in the United
States, over $4,000 observed Tuberculo-
sis day, and millions of churchgoers
were told about this disease from the
pulpit. This year will be the third
observation of tuberculosis day. Plans
are being made to have the gospel of
health preached more widely than
ever before. The movement will be
pushed through the 600 anti-tubercu-
losis associations allied with the ma
tional association and through the
boards Of health, women's clubs and
other organizations in hundreds OF
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try. Through these various bodies
the churches will be reached and In

marvels one better. In principle the ice auto
mobile is not very different from the ordinary
commercial motors which employed for
delivery work in every city. However the self
propelled adjunct of winter logging is provided
with sharp teeth which it sinks into the snow or
Ice as 1t progresses thus insuring steady prog
ress with no slipping sliding the smooth

But because the winter finds the lumber Jacks

20 to 40 degrees below zero it must not be sup

The average logging camp has two main struc-
tures-the bunk house where the loggers sleep in
hunks arranged in tiers and the cook shanty
where the food is cooked and served. To call
this eating hall shanty is, however, something

GREEN FEEDS YEAR AROUND
Nothing Better Than Well Cured CIo-
yer Rowen or Second Growth CIo-
yer Hay-Bran Is Substitute.

(By j. f. SCHUREMAN, u. S.. Depart
ment of -Agriculture.)
There is nothing better than well
cured clover rowen or second growth
clover hay. This should be cut up
fine and steamed. Clover is not only
highly heterogeneous, but rich in lime,
a substance required by the hens for
providing shells for the eggs. Aside
from alfalfa there is no other food
that can take the place of clover. By
allowing a ration of scalded clover to
hens they will keep in better laying
condition and the production of eggs
will be increased. Where clover hay
cannot be secured, bran is a very
good substitute, though not SO rich in
mineral matter
Vegetable food should be supplied
the year around, such as cabbage, DO
tatoes, beets and turnips.
