FOR SCATIC
RHEUMATISM
Try the Treatment That Cured
This Pronounced Case In
Minneapolis After Other
Treatments Failed.

Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatio
nerve. Its origin is generally rheu-
matte and is the direct result of taking
cold. For this reason the disease is
commonly known as "sciatic rheuma-
tism." That DIR. Williams Pink Pills
cure this disease is shown by numerous
cases like that of Mrs. J. B. Hansen, of
No. 221 Twentieth Ave, So, Minnea-
polls, Mimi. She says:
ga few years ago following an attack
of the grip was taken with sciatica.
For six years / suffered untold agony
and thought it would be- a blessing to
me if I could only die. There were
sharp, shooting pains in both Of my
limbs and my shoulders and arms were
affected also but not so severely. If /
moved about quickly, the pain would
catch me so that had to scream. MY
limbs would swell until could hardly
walk. / also had terrible dull pain
in my back which was often unbear-
able was confined to bed for week
or two at time. While suffering from
the sciatica | was further rundown by
weakness common to women of my age.
t'I received SO little RELIEF from the
Doctors medicine chat l became dis
couraged and quit it. My husband
urged me to try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills as he had read how they had cur
ed cases like NINE / felt better after
had taken the pills short time but
took several boxes until / was certain /
was cured. l give this statement of my
cure thinking that other sufferers may
be helped as was through using DR..
Williams Pink Pills"
The tonic treatment with DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills succeeds where other
treatments fail because it is based on
the sound medical principle that the
health of the nerves depends on pure,
red blood.

Cloth Ton shoes.

The wearing of cloth tops to match
the gown with the vanished leather
shoes seems to have gripped every
ones fancy just now to surprising
extent
Women seem to have grown quite
accustomed to the rounded toes of the
shoes, and the heels which we would
formerly have dubbed rather contemp-
tuously as Sensible" but which are
now distinctly fashionable, as well.
The white cloth tops of the shoes give
exactly the same effect as the white
stockings, and seem to fit very neat
" into the picture when the black
skirt and white coat are worn, vogue
which many of us are inclined to de-
plore, but which is certainly carrying
all before it In Paris at the present
moment.

New Material.

One of the prettiest materials Of
the moment is soft crepe voile, pat
termed with Turkish toweling. The
latteg fabric has not, on the whole,
much to recommend it as summer
choice, the coarseness of the ruffled
surface giving woolly effect, which
makes it hardly ideal for the hottest
summer weather. In a combination,
however, of porcelain blue and white,
the two fabrics look delightfully."- cool,
the toweling forming border to the
hem of the skirt and the wide cuffs
of the bodice, while above the hem,
on the plain surface of the crepe, oc-
ours row of raised china blue roses
in toweling.

STATE CROPS BELOW
AVERAGE IS REPORT
Poor Condition Is Due to Lack of
Rain During June.
BOARD TO ISSUE BULLETIN
Freakish Statistics in Parts of State
Outaeamie County Goes Cabbage
Crazy and Plants Eight
Times Usual Amount.

Madison.-The crop bulletin TO be
issued by the state board OF agricul-
ture covering conditions up to July l.,
will show that crops are below the
average owing to the lack of rain in
the month Of June. Recent rains,
however. have relieved the situation
throughout the state.
A freak feature of the bulletin will
be the report sent in from Outagamie
county, which has gone cabbage
crazy" The report from that county
says that some farmers have planted
as much as 80 acres Of cabbage, and
that eight times more than the aver
age of cabbage crop has been planted
this year
While crop conditions covering
June are below the average, tndica-
lions are that the recent rains which
were general in Wisconsin have at
least temporarily saved the crops. In
some instances the rains were SO
heavy that crops were damaged by
too much rain rather than by not
enough rain.
Inc average ylelu Oh tame ndy III
June was 1 IL tons per acre The
average yield of alfalfa was tons
per acre, the yield being heavier in
the northern part of the state than
1t was in southern Wisconsin.
The damage reported by cut-worms
was from 20 to 20 per cent. in some
counties and less than that in others.
The damage throughout the state was

SEVERAL FACTS ON POULTRY
Flock VIII Not Do Much During Az
gust and Few Eggs Are to Be
Expected-Time to Clean.
tRy PROF.. L. sw1NEY.l

(By PROF. /. SWINEY.)
AS a general rule the flock will not
do much during the month of August.
Some hens are still broody; some
are beginning to moult and one may
expect but few eggs for while.
Then. too, most of us are apt to
grow careless about the poultry BUSH
ness, since it is not, at present. bring
ing us in anything worth mentioning,
We neglect to clean out the drop
pings as often as we used to; tho
roosts are never washed and aired
out; no fresh new nests take the
place of the old, filthy ones; while
the heat coupled with all these pro-
duces a scent both nauseating and
dangerous to the flock.
Lice and mites thrive under these
conditions and unless we keep close
and constant watch they sneak in and
are playing havoc before we realize
it. So, let's dip the hens about the
time they begin to moult and spray
the poultry house thoroughly with
some effective, homemade solution
There are many such and they cost
next to nothing.
Let's wash the roosts with ten
quarts of good. strong soap-suds to
which have been added quart of
kerosene and some strong brine, or
use a good coat of whitewash.
Let's see that every atom of the
droppings is removed from the build.
ings, then, to make sure we have done
a clean job, spade up the dirt floor to
bury the last vestige Of filth. This
should bring matters back to normal
and with an occasional spraying,
ought to insure the flock beginning
the fall and winter egg-laying cam
paign early.

Care of puckIInua

Ducklings require special attention
for two or three weeks, to insure
their not getting wet. After that they
can be raised with less risk or care
than chicks, are hardly ever troubled
by disease, and are free from attacks
of lice and mites. With a mash feed
morning and night, and grads range,
they practically take care Of them
selves.

Cheap Disinfectant.

A cheap disinfectant for the poultry
house is a whitewash made by slack
ing fresh lime to the consistency of
cream and adding a gill of crude car
bolic acid to every pailful of the
whitewash. The whitewash will help
keep out the chicken mites. The best
treatment for lice on birds that have
feathered out is to give them good
dust bath.
