Many a city family man, when he
comes to pay from S. to 81 for his
Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey,
will be quite ready to affirm that per
sonally he has no objection to the
passing of the turkey forever, even as
a holiday piece de resistance.
Last year in the largest cities first
class birds brought from % to so
cents per pound, and a IS bill was
hardly adequate to secure a bird that
would sufficiently serve an ordinary
sized family.
The fact is hat fewer turkeys are
being raised every year. the decline in
the Industry having started six or
seven years ago, when the terrible
disease of ~blackhead began to destroy
the 1ocks in the New England states.
The ravages Of this disease have be-
come SO great that in Rhode Island.
which was nee the great turkey state.
very few are now being raised. The
disease has spread to other states
throughout the east, and its ravaging
effects have been SO disastrous that
thousands of farmers in Massachu-
sets, New Jersey and New Hampshire,
all formerly good turkey states, have
practically given up the business.
This disease has invaded the west
to some extent, but its ravages have
been checked because the means of
preventing it r now much better
understood than ever before. owing to
the Industrious and intelligent in
vestigations started several years ago
by the Rhode Island experiment sta
ton and supplemented by the work
OF the U. S. department Of agricul-
ture.
Blackhead is a disease of the liver
and fntestines which produces a form
OF %dysentery and is caused by minute
parasites, and called blackhead be-
cause the heads Of the affected birds
turn black at a certain stage of the
disease.
In many cases birds die from
complications induced by the presence
OF the disease rather than from its
immediate effects.
Blackhead destroys about four-ffths
OF the young turkeys before they are
six weeks old, and of the remaining
one-ffth, according to Prof. Cooper
Curtiss of the Rhode Island station,
onetenth to one-ffth die at a later
date.
While there has not been great
progress made in the control Of this
disease the limits of ignorance have
been clearly defined, and it is believed
that the scientists will, in a very short
time. discover effective remedies.
The advice given by experts in the
disease is to quit breeding turkeys

Nearly everybody is obliged more OF
less to take a laxative. There are OF
course a few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic. Probably few households exist
that do not make use of tonics and
laxatives.
The remedy Peruna is a laxative
tonic. 1t not only operates as a gentle
laxative, but also as a tonic.
The benefit derived from such a
remedy is a great deal more in the
prevention of disease than in the cure.
After a person has really become sick,

TOOL CHEST VERY
HANDY FOR FARMER
List of Implements Given That
Are Quite Indispensable
Reduce Repair Bills.

Pleasure and profit meet in the
farm tool chest. The good workman
takes a just pride in bright, well kept
tools. They cut down repair bills.
They avoid the delay and cost of
sending for a carpenter. They are
especially needed at this time of the
year in repairing buildings for the
winter.
The exact tools to be provided vary
with the nature Of the work to be
done, the size of the farm and the
means and personal tastes Of the far
mer. Every farmer should have at
least the following tools:
Hammer. rip saw. hand saw. jack
plane. square. ratchet. brace. expan-
sive bit; bits u. IS, Y, Is and q in;
chisels u and IA in; mailet. draw
knife, screw driver. rule. marking
guage, wood rasp. oil stone.

place for every tool and every tool In
It's place. 1t does not take long to
lose quite a bit of money II tools are

BOY oBEYED ORDERS GIVEN
Meant Well, But Information MAJ Not
Welcomed by Hotel Manager
Just at That Time.

A certain New York hotel manager
is one OF these nervous men who con-
stantly warn their employees against
keeping them in ignorance of any
happening around the place. He hired
q new bell boy recently, and gave
him the usual warning:
Remember" he warned, IF any
thing happens around here I'm to be
tie first person to know about it."
Soon after that he was showing
three naughty Daughters of the Cou-
federacy n of the best rooms in the
place, when the new bell boy rushed
In with his hair on end.
Something's happened" he yelled.
The three Daughters of the Con-
federacy turned coldly, and the man
ager, anxious to get rid of the boy,
demanded to know the trouble.
That old cat down stairs" said
the boy, has just had kittens. What
shall We do?"
The managers suggestion was
rough.

A TONIC LAXATIVE

Should Be In Every Home

OF a good tonic laxative the great major.
ity OF cases of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna Is . remedy that should be kept
ID the house. Its virtue az q preventive
to disease is the thing l wish chiefly to
emphatic.
A slight condition of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels.
b~liiousness, re-absorption of poisonous ma
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy of
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
STA or to the acquisition Of some acute dis
ease. For either one Of these conditions
a few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. This is why the
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna az .
household remedy is understood no home
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded. Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would have no place. With a
few doses of Peruna a vigorous appetite is
produced and if there be any sluggishness
of the bowels their function is gradually
restored.
Most laxatives are weakening i n their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become 30 thoroughly established that
all medicines are superfuous, Peruna will
be needed. 1t is exactly the remedy that

From that time on l used Postum

Women Are Constantly Being Restored to
Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

"Worth mountains of gold" says one woman. Another
says, Il would not give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for all the other medicines for women in the
world" Still another writes, Il should like to have the
merits Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound thrown
on the sky with searchlights so that all suffering women could
read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills"
We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo
tations taken from the letters we have received from grateful women
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound ACCOMPLISHED
such a universal success? Why has it lived and thriyed and kent o
doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more
than 80 years?
Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim
ply because there is no other medicine so good for womens ills.
Here are two letters that just came to the writer's desk-only two
OF thousands, but both tell a comforting story TO every suffering vo-
man who will read them-and be guided by them.

The great need of the county farm,
according to the Purdue experts is a

Conditions can then be studied and
plans instituted for more efficient
management. The commissioners will
probably agree to allow the represen

farm to give suggestions. The only ex
pense the county will be put to will be
the travelling expenses of the repre-
