ILLINOIS CENTRAL GAINS
Annual Report Just Issued Shows h. creased Revenues of $5,553,ooo
 for All Departments.

St. Lauis, Sept. 12.-The annual re- port of the Illinois Central Railroad company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, just published, shows an increase of $5,553,0 ,0OO in operating revenues over the year previous. The revenue from the transportation of freight and passengers was the great est in the history of the company, it is explained
 The increase in freight revenue over any previous year was $1,0S5,00O and the like increase In passenger revenue was S11S,300. The increase in freight revenue over 1912 was $4,707,000. The total operating reve- nue for the last year was $63. .280. 900. The net income was $6,575,00O, an in- crease of $3,10S,00O over 1912.
 Regarding the decrease in the divi- dend, the report states
 "The directors of your company concluded that under the unusual con ditions of the last two years, not only those affecting general business, but also those bearing especially hard on your company, it was wise to declare a dividend of 21a per cent upon the capital stock for the second six months of the fiscal year, making 6 per cent for the year. This was fully earned"

DANGEROUS CALOMEL
 GOING OUT OF USE
A Safer. More Reliable Remedy Has Taken It's Place in the
 Drug Store and the Home

A few years ago, men, women and children took colonel for a sluggish liver and for constipa- tion. They took risks when they did so, for calomel is a dangerous drug. Your family doctor will be the first to tell you this if he discovers you dos ing yourself with calomel.
 But the drug trade has found safer, more pleasant remedy than calomel in Dodson's Liver Tone.
 Hesterly Drug Store tell us that their drug store sells Dod- sons Liver Tone in practically every cacse of biliousness and liver trouble where calomel used to be taken.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is veg etable liver tonic that is abso- lutely harmless for children and grown people. It sells for 50 cts. a bottle and is guaranteed to be entirely satisfactory by Hesterly Drug Store who will refund your money with a smile if it does not give quick, gentle relief without any of cal omePs unpleasant after-effects.

HIGH COST TRACED TO FARM
With Few Exceptions Farmers Are Paid More for Products Now Than
 in 1912, U. s. Report Shows.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Back to the farm the department of agriculture has traced some of the responsibility for the high cost of living. In re- port just issued the department sets forth that prices paid farmers for their products were more, with few exceptions, on Sept l than they re- ceived Sept 1, 1912. Among the arti- cles which showed an increase were.
 Potatoes, 10.3 cents a bushel; but. ter, 1.7 pound; chickens, Il cents a pound; eggs, .04 a dozen; oats, 4.3 cents bushel; barley, 1.7. and cotton .O5 a pound. The price of corn de creased 2.2 a bushel; wheat, S.7; flax, 34.8; rye, 7.S; buckwheat, 6.6. and hay 25 cents a ton.
 The farmer also received more for the meats, except lamb, on Aug. 15, 1913, than he did at the same time last year. Hogs increased 6S cents hundred; beeves, 53 cents; veals, 91 cents, and sheep 6 cents The price of lambs decreased 10 cents per 100 pounds. Horses increased only $1 a head and milch COWS increased $S.70 each.

POWERS NUT A CANDIDATE
MAN CONVICTED OF GOEBEL MURDER TO QUIT CONGRESS.
Does Not See Much Chance of Doing Things While Democrats Are in
 PoWer-Many Want Seat.

Winchester, Ky, Sept. 12.-Caleb Powers has announced that he will not make the race for congress again in the eleventh district. While as serting that he is as strong in the district as he ever was. and could be reelected, he says it is not his inten- tion at this time to be a candidate He says:
 No Republican member of con gress can hope to be instrumental in placing on the statute books much constructive legislation as long as all the departments of government are in the hands of the Democratic party have the truest and best friends in the world and l am under debt of lasting gratitude to them"
 When asked if Charles Finley of Williamsburg would be a candidate, though it would be easy to nominate and elect him.
 Asked who would now likely get into the race since he was out of it., Powers replied that he did not know, but that in all probability Senator Jo- seph Bosworth, II. H. Asher and Jack son Morris of Bell county; Judge Will liam Lewis and possibly D. C. Ed wards of Laurel county; Judge s. w. Bethurum of Rockcastle county and Judge II. c. Kennedy of Pulaski coun- ty, and s. T. Siler of Whitly county might enter the race
 When asked who his choice would be, Powers replied that there would be plenty of time to decide that ques- tion when he saw who entered the race.

Is there not some way to kill the
enemy without killing the friend,
some way to prevent fermentation
while still preserving the flavor of
the original fruit? Yes, this can be
very satisfactorily done.
The ferment is caused by sporadic
bacteria, a sort of mildew, which
permeates the drops of the juice. We
say it is sporadic because it produces
spores, kind of seed. Now these
spores are hard shelled like many
other seeds and it will require almost
if not quite 90 degrees of heat to
kill them, but the bacteria themselves
the minute little plants which grow
from the spores and cause the fer
mentation-cannot survive tempera-
ture of 100 degrees. Upon the other
hand, heating to 1870 degrees will not
destroy the race of the fruit. There
fore if you will heat the juice to Ito
or 180 degrees you will kill all the
germs and leave only the spores in
the liquid. After a few days the
greater part OF the remaining spores
will terminate. By careful watching

BOTTLING BERRY JUICE.
By Charles M. Robinson.

This is the season of berries and
cherries. By and by "the winter
cometh' and then there will be neither
berries nor cherries. At least none
of the fresh ones can be had for the
seeking. But men are wise and they
have invented many ways of subjugat-
ing nature and having the good things
she produces even out Of their season.
stance and much of the flavor of the
original in the day of it's most lus-
cious freshness, are deservedly popu-
lar These will cloy the appetite in
time, however, during the long season
between the short periods of fruition.
Fruit juices, preserved without the
pulp, will generally be found a well
come change later in the following
winter. But the juice must be bottled
now, when there is fruit from which
to obtain it, and kept through the
intervening months. Here is the rub.
There are so many invading enemies
ready to destroy it if any opportunity
is afforded them.
Bottling will exclude most of these
enemies. In fact the walls of the
bottle will suffice to preserve the
juices against practically all of them
excepting one, the ferment germ.
You can count on the bacteria which
produces fermentation being already
present in the fruit and in the Juice.
1t cannot be excluded and will GER
tainly work its havoc unless it is kill
ed. This is not so hard to do to be
sure. Boiling the juice before it is
sealed up is very effective way. The
spores and germs will all perish if the
juice is raised to 2l2 degrees, Faren-
heit, which is the boiling point at
sea level. But this process tends to
destroy the rare flavor of the
fruit. The juice will be found to
have lost much of its relish and to be
rather insipid after it has once reach

western states than the Russian
thistle. 1t harms the crop by crowd
ing it in some instances to such an
extent as to render it not worth har-
vesting. Its presence also adds great
ly to the labor of harvesting, especial
ly when the growth made has been
strong. It also gives much trouble
in summer fallowed lands and Guilt
waited crops by the strong and rapid
growth which the plants make on
these lands in the latter part Of the
growing season.
The farmer is in sense defenseless
against invasion from this plant.
That is one Of it's worst features. It
is almost impossible to fence against
the thistle owing to the ease with
which it is carried with the wind. A
demonstration farm at Elgin, N. D.,
is surrounded with woven wire
fence five feet high. In the summer
of 1912 part of the land was summer
fallowed and kept quite clean. At
this date. April 81, 1913, the young
Russian thistles are abundant on his
land and are from one to two inches
high, growing from seed that was
scattered during the winter. More
than once during the winter the
thistles were piled up outside of the
fence until they, with snow that drift
ed in, formed an inclined plane as
high as the fence, over which the
thistles that came later rolled with
ease, scattering seeds as they went
In other instances the dried thistles
would be caught up into the air by
guests of wind and carried right over
the fence without touching it. The
regretful feature is, that land which
may be made clean by the farmer one
season may be again re-seeded with
thistles before any crop is planted on
it, Until the farmers make common
cause, therefore, against this weed,
it will not be exterminated.
What then can be done The best
that can be done at present is to
manage the newly sown grain so that
the thistles may be prevented from
doing it any serious harm. This can
only be done by the judicious use of
the harrow and weeder until the
grain has reached the stage when it
will overshadow any thistles that may
terminate later. In dry seasons
especially the thistles will be greatly
harmful to the grain unless they are
in some way checked.
The use of the harrow alone may
suffice to do this, and the same is
true of the weeder. But, usually, the
two in combination will give better
results than either alone. The pro-
cedure in many instances will be, in
outline, as follows: First, the harrow
should be run over the ground as
soon as the grain begins to appear,
giving the teeth a backward slant
during the operation. This will stir
the entire surface of the ground and
destroy the thistles that are just
starting. Second, when the grain is
two or three inches high the weeder
should be used instead of the harrow,
to avoid burying the grain. Third,
use the harrow again when the grain
is five or six inches high. The idea
