WORDS FROM HOME
Statements That May Be Investi-
gated. Testimony of Langdon
Citizens.

When a Laugdon citizen comes to the
front, telling his friends and neighbors
of his experience, you car rely on his
sincerity. The statements of people re-
siding in far away places do not COM
mand your confidence. Home. endorse
ment is the kind that backs Doan's
Kidney Pills. Such testimony is con-
vincing. Investigation proves it true.
Below is a statement of a Langdon

can be had.

Marquis" the new variety of Fife
wheat is becoming very popular with
experts in farming. In growing Its ap-
perance is like red fife, but the stem is
stiff and straight and not so liable to
lodge. The kernal is thicker and more
nearly rouno. 1t natures from a week
to ten days errlier than fife, and there
have been many phenomenal yields re-
ported. This wheat carried off the
$1,000 first prize at the New York land
show and the $500 prize at the Canadian
dry farming congress. On a small plot,
a little over eighty bushels per acre and
on another over seventy bushels and on
another seventy bushels we're the result
of experiments. This wheat as seed sold
for SIS per bushel in 1911 and for S44 in
1918. AS the amount planted this year
was very large, prices should be quite
reasonable this fall, and the farmer
should make it a point to ecure enough
of it to give them a good start another
year. This wheat is no experiment. but
is an assured success, and it Is our opln-
ion that farmers can gain more by
oh hanging seed than in any other way.
The same variety of grain if grown IN
the same locality for years will yield
poorer and poorer, and a new seed grown
on a far different soil should be obtained
evary few wears to obtain the best re.
suits.

AS the returns from threshing ma
hcines come in it is apparent that the
greatest foe of the farmer at this time is
the wild oats nuisance. In some locali-
ties the wild oats are so thick that
wheat is locked from Is to 30 per cent
while there is scarcely any that escapes
a dockage of less then three to five
pounds per bushel. One farmer who
brought a load of wheat to the Langdon
market last week was locked twenty
tushels, or nearly half his load. 1t cost
him nearly as much to thresh and
harvest the wild oats as it did to thresh
and harvest his wheat. In other words
he paid double price for threshing his
wheat. So serious has become the stu
alton that farmers have become thor
oughly aroused and are seeking inform
alton as to the most effective way of
stamping out the pest.

HOUSE STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING
Farm Home Near Calvin Hit and
Badly Damaged by Bolt While
Family Eat.

The house On Archie Sillers, Jr. farm,
east of Calvin was struck by lightning
last Friday evening at about eight
o'clock. Holderman Bros, rent the
farm and living in the house, and the
above happened while the family we're
partaking of the evening meal. The
bolt entered the chimney on the east
side of the house, smashing it to pieces,
came down to the first story and tore a
large hole IN the east end OF the build
ing, then dropped to the floor where it
made another large hole and left the
building. Every window on the second
floor was broken and several down
stairs we're shattered to smithereens.
Plaster was scattered all over the floor
and things mussed up in general. None
of the occupants of the house we're in
jured, but naturally were considerably
frightened. The loss IN damage to the
building is fully covered by insurance.
Carpenters are already at work repair.

Milton was thrown into a state of IN

the explosion of the boiler of the thresh-
ing engine belonging to T%hrondset &
Wroolie, when the crown sheet of the
boiler blew out with terrific force, tearing
the heavy boiler sheet from it's fastnings
OF seventy-two stay bolts. The accident
happened about half past five while the
outfit was in operation in the Wroolie
farm yard. The explosion was &C.
companled by a report like a heavy dis

ashes from the engine when the
boiler exploded scattered in every
direction and scalded several men at
work on the separator sixty feet distant.

THE GRIM REAPER
VISITS DRESDEN
Wife of Carl R. Williamson an In
valid Passed to Great Beyond
Last Sunday Morning.

Pearl Payne. the wife of Carl r. Will
Hanson, died on Sunday morning about
seven o'clock at the family home near
Dresden. Although the deceased had
been in poor health and suffering from a
weak heart for almost a year past, part
of the time in the Langdon hospital and
later under medical attendance at the
JOS. Radford home in this city, it had
had been the hope of the family and
friends right up to the last that she
might be restored to her former health
and strength. Mrs. Williamson was in
her twenty-nlnth year, and although she
was born at Orelia, Ont, the daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Uriah Payne, one of a
family of nine children, she has been a
resident of this county the past twelve
years. Was married to Carl r. William
son in 1902, the family left in the tender
care of the bereaved husband being
three daughters and one son, Lutte,
aged ten; Bruce, aged eight: Fannie,
aged two and a baby girl born about four
weeks ago. Her mother died when the
deceased was but a mere child The
father, who removed from this county to
Maidstone, Sask., some years ago was
physically unable to attend his daugh-
ter's funeral owing to a recent accident,
but her three surviving sisters, Mrs. A.
S, Williamson, Mrs. Edwin Olson, both
of Stilwell and Mrs. Amos Tompkins, of
Meota. Man, were at the bedside to say
good bye when she passed away. Dur
ing her last illness in addition to being
given almost constant medical attention
she was nurSed with devoted care
by Mrs. Radford of this city and DR..
Ellen Williamson, of Minneapolis, both
relatives of the family and the latter
a neighbor and constant companion of
the deceased while the family resid.
ed in the Twin Cities. The funeral was
held Monday afternoon at Stilwell, the
old family home of the Williamson's
since first coming to the county some
thirty years ago. Rev. Scadeng con-
Quoted the funeral the remains being
Civ n a last resting place in the nearby
cemetery, marked with the graves OF
many loved ones who have previously
journeyed to the home above.

Where the Feet Perspire ProfuseIy.

~ ~
This is Il very great cause of corns
and general pains in the feet. and the
cure is so simple that it is neglected.
Frequent bathing in cold water, with
gentle massage, will do more toward
helping this trouble than almost any
thing, yet few but fill their perspiring
feet with some sort Of powder, which
clogs the pores and in the end makes
matters worse. A good formula is to
mix one ounce powdered alum with
two of salt and one Of borax. Put half
a tablespoonful Of this in a foot tub Of
tepid water at night and battle the
feet well. Keep a little jar Of mutton
tallow that has been melted and a
teaspoonful of witch hazel added to an
ounce. When the feet have been thor
oughly soaked in the bath wipe and
rub in this pomade; then bind them
with antiseptic gauze, because the
grease will spoil the %bedclothing. Do
Ibis night and morning and there will
be great relief. the gauze preventing
the hose getting greasy during the
lay.
Another way is to battle with salicyl-
ic soap every night. Dry we'll and wipe
with a lotion made Of an ounce Of
glycerin with three of perchloride Of
ron and add ten drops essence berga-
mot. Be sur that every part Is
:ouched, between the toes especially.
Then powder with a mixture of twen-
ty-five grams Of violet talcum. ~
grams powdered starch, az burnt alum
and It gram of powdered salicylic acid.
Change the hose every day, wearing
the thin cotton that can be rubbed out
after being worn once Have two or
three pairs of shoes and change every
day. 1t is the old, partly dried perspi-
ration remaining in hose and shoes that
hurts the feet, causes them to swell and
perspire worse.

Mllady's
Mirror
Disgusting Facial Defects.

StoSAsSittS TaSidI OSiSCto.
Many Il girl whose beauty is marred
by a slight facial defect gives herself
up to despair or to the firm conviction
that nothing will help or relieve her
affection. She generally proceeds to
render herself less attractive by worry
ing or fretting and marring her ex-
preston.
IT the cheek bones are too high, do
not strain the hair back from the face
and accentuate this defect. Wear a
broad couture with the hair fluffed out
near the ears. The hat should always
give the effect Of a background and
frame combined, and the softly waved
hair will detract attention from the
high cheek bones. Cheek bones that
are set high in the face give an IN
pleasant impression. They make Il wo-
man look less gentle and less feminine
and youthful.
There is 40 reason why the eyes
should not be the feature to attract at
t%ention, and ven if they are not large
or deep the eyebrows and eyelashes
can be made to enhance their charm.
One cannot change the color or the
conformation, but the surrounding It's

can be modified by the individual,
greatly to the benefit of the eyes them
selves and to their appearance. Many
occupations carry with them the handi-
car of Y strain. In all work reUuir-
ing the use Of the eyes, whether with
extra exertion or not, caro- should al
ways be taken to protect the eyes
themselves from glare and so to ar
range that the bright light shall fall d.
rectly upon the work without shadows.
To prevent and relieve an infamma-
tory condition of the eyelids it is
necessary to use some mild astringent.
The most generally useful eye wash,
which should be always on the wash
stand. is made of ten grains of boric
acid to an of camphor water
not spirits Of camphor. Salt and water
give a good eye wash for the cup and
can be used several times a day. An
excellent ointment to be used Upon the
eyelashes is the following:

Oil of Is drops
Mix thoroughly and apply to the
lashes with a tiny toothbrush. Be
careful not to get this into the eyes. as
the oils will inflame them.
