OF GREAT use IN
BREAKING UP COLDS
KelIogg's Tasteless Castor Oil Is
Thing Long Desired

Everyone knows the value of castor
oil in breaking up fall and winter colds,
but most people have found it too hard
to take
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil does
away with this only objection. 1t is
pure, simple castor oil without taste or
odor. Nothing is added; nothing good
taken out.
In making castor oil tasteless, Spencer
Kellogg & Sons of Buffalo have discov-
cred secret that had evaded chemists
for 5000 years.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil works
better than the old evil-tasting, evil
smelling kind. 1t operates pleasantly.
without gripping, and does not upset the
stomach. Children take it easily.
Do not confuse Kellogg's Tasteless
Castor Oil with prepared, mixed or fla.
vored castor oils 1t is the only true.
pure, tasteless kind Sold in all drug

QUICKLY STOPS
WORST BACKACHE
Makes Kidney, Bladder Disor-
ders and Rheumatic
Pains Vanish

If you suffer with backaching kidney
trouble; have disagreeable bladder and
urinary disorders, or are tortured with
rheumatism, stiff joints and heart
wrenching pains, you viii be surprised
how quickly and surely Croxone will
relieve all such misery.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, cleans out and
strengthens the stopped-up organs, neu-
tralizes, dissolyes, and makes the kid
neys sift out and filter away the uric
acid and poisons from the blood, and
leaves the kidneys and urinary organs
clean. strong, active and healthy.
1t matters not how long you have suf-
fered; how old you are, or what you
have tried. 1t is practically impossible
to take Croxone without results, for it
starts to work the minute you take it.
If you suffer with pains in the back or
sides; if you are nervous, tired and run
down; bothered with urinary disorders,
or have any signs of kidney, bladder
troubles or rheumatism, don't spend an
other needless day suffering.
Secure an original package of CroxOne
to-day, and prove for yourself right
now, as thousands of others have done,
just how quickly it viii end your misery.
Croxone is inexpensive, and every
druggist is authorized to return the pur-
chase price if it fails in a single case.

large sums to charity during his life
time. Excepting a few small individual
requests, the entire estate goes to the
widow and three daughters, to 90 on
their death to their issue. Mrs. Hearn

SOME CRITICISM.
OF Methods Employed in Arrest of
Mrs. Pankhurst.

London, Dec 6---The threat of the mill
liant suffragettes TO resort t. violent
methods in revenge for the arrest of
their leader, Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst.
had not yet been carried into effect yes
terday morning except for the destruc-
ton of mansion at Wemyss bay, Scot
land, some attempts to destroy letters
by pouring fluid into mail boxes in sew
eral districts and isolated cases of
window smashing.
1t was believed, however, that the
women had plan to do something SEN
sational and the police everywhere kept
strict watch
In the meantime Mrs Pankhurst re-
manned in Exeter jail. She had already
begun hunger strike" and was in a
state of collapse.
Passengers on the Majestic, on board
OF which Mrs Pankhurst made the voy-
age across the Atlantic. on their arrival
in London told of the indignation of the
travellers at being detained for over an
hour in Plymouth harbor in order to
enable the police to outwit the sufFra-
gettes who purposed reseuing Mrs. Pank-
hurst
As one American put IL: "All this to
arrest one little woman"
The English press also is rather in
clined to sneer at the elaborate police
plans, which the Manchester Guardian
describes as possessing san. absurd dis
proportion between the actual danger of
disorder Of rescue and the plans of the
authorities" The Westminster Gazette
says it is absurd to describe the arrest
OF Mrs. Pankhurst as a triumph for the
police.

Boys and Girls of the State
of Ohio Promote the
Movement
STATE SENDS 1900
TO WASHINGTON
Secretary Houston Will Pre-
sent to Them Di-
plomas

Washington, Dec. 6.-The vanguard OF
an army of boys and girls who are do
ing their share to further the "stay on
the farm" movement, have arrived in
Washington. The party numbers about
| 200. They came from Ohio, where they
won the trip as reward for the excel
lence of the corn grown by the boys and
the baking done by the girls. Secretary
Bryan, who addressed the boys and girls
at Continental hall Wednesday night,
said he was kept busy lectur-
ing to keep little farm in
Kansas running. At the same time he
declared that the farm was the future
of the young man and that it offered
greater opportunities than any other vo-
cation. He went on to say that his
Kansas farm was in the nature of a
sinking fund and that ultimately he ex-
pected to get more out of it than he
put in.
Next week representatives of boys and
girls clubs in other states will reach
the national capital on sightseeing
trip. There will be champion member
of boys corn club from each of the
southern states; champions from girls
canning clubs from southern, western
and northern states, and girls and boys.
potato clubs in Massachusetts, Ohio,
Utah, Iowa and Michigan. Colorado will
send a sugar beet boy.
Those who have come from Ohio ar
rived in six special trains, on which there
also were several hundred friends and
relatives, making an excursion of near
ly 1000, who trooped over the public
buildings of the city and paid visit TO
the tomb of George Washington at
Mount Vernon. While here the party
will visit President Wilson and Secre-
tary Houston, who will present them
diplomas. The second delegation OF boys
and girls will reach Washington on Dee.
IL. They viii meet at one of the large
hotels, where get acquainted meet
ing will be held. Immediately thereafter
will begin the round of sightseeing that
has been outlined for them by officials
of the department of agriculture.
The excursions are being made at the
expense of the citizens of the states from
which the youngsters come The Ohio
excursion, it is estimated, viii cost the
business men of that state nearly $780,
600.

PERHAPS THE LAST
Convention Has Been Held for the Nom
nation of Candidates for Presidency.

Washington. Dec. 6.-The issue OF d.
rect presidential primaries, brought into
public discussion by President Wilson,
promises to be an important factor in
the deliberations of the national Re-
publican conference here.
Congress may provide primaries that
will do away with the need of any NOM
mating conventions before the next pres
idential election.
The decision of the law committee OF
the Republican national committee just
made public leaves but one change III
Republican rules to be made by ma
tional convention.
That relates to the basis of repre-
sentation. While Republican leaders
here believe the national committee will
call convention for March or April,
some think the direct primary may in
fuence some committeeman against it.
1t was pointed out that if direct pri-
mary law was passed before the 1916
elections the need for a change of Re-
publican representation would disappear.
Senator Jones, a member of the law
committee, returned to Washington yes
terday and said plans were going for
ward for national convention.
81 am in favor of some form of d.
rect primaries in the states, with ma
tional conventions in which delegates
would sit in proportion to the vote in
the states.
Each state would apportion its dele
gates according to the strength of the
respective party candidates and the ma
tional convention would make the final
choice"
Senator Cummins, one of the most &C.
tive advocates of rules revision, and
chairman of the Cancellation committee,
appointed in Chicago last spring, said
yesterday that discussion of presidential
primaries should not interfere with the
holding of a special convention.
81 am strongly in favor of direct pri-
maries," he said, "but there is no as
surance that the direct primary laws
will be passed or, at least, that they
will not be long deloyed. 1t is our duty
to go ahead with the convention plans
we have outlined and complete the for
nation of Republican rules that will
make the party machinery thoroughly
responsive to the will of the voters"

They Force Approval of a
State Wide Primary
Law
AT CONFERENCE OF
N. Y. REPUBLICANS
State Chairman Barnes Is
Defeated - Radicals Led
by Henry L. Stimson

New York, Dec. The radicals ruled
the Republican state conference yester-
day and forced the approval of direct
statewide primary law.
State Chairman William Barnes mo-
ton to reaffirm the more consecutive
primary plank in the last Republican
platform was defeated by vote OF l92
to 1877.
The radicals led by Henry l.. Stimson,
former secretary of war, split with
Barnes and his followers over the cues
ton of retaining party conventions.
The radicals carried resolution de-
claring all candidates should stand on an
equal footing; that the direct primary
should be an adjunct to and check upon
rather than substitute for deliberation
and conference of the party's representa-
tives. 1t favored the principle OF the
short ballot.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
Streaming AND STERILIzING
BY c. B. LANE.
Department of Agriculture.

Department of Agriculture.
Boiling water and steam are cheap and
| effective agents in the destruction of
bacteria or the minute plants which
cause milk to sour. In the process of
cleaning great emphasis should be laid
upon the word boiling. as water that is
simply warm" has little effect upon
germ life. An accurate thermometer
should be used freely, as "guesswork"
will not produce results. To illustrate, a
farmer with fair degree of intelligence
washed his milk pals, as he thought,
very thoroughly. In fact, he claimed
that he used boiling water The fact
was that he did place boiling water in
the first pail, but boiling water poured
from one pail to another does not ster-
ilize. In this case it was found that
the temperature of the water remaining
one minute in the pail before using had
dropped to 1877 degrees. When poured
into the second pail and held there for
the same length of time to LAT degrees,
and to a third to l27 degrees. This
farmer thought he was sterilizing his
utensils when he was merely rinsing
them out. The best test of the clean
illness of dairy utensils is their odor.
Ii they smell clean, we can assume that
they are nearly sterile. Utensils which
have open seams, where milk can accu-
mulate and remain from one washing
to another, cannot be cleaned. Seams
and cracks should be flushed with solder
so there will be no creyices in which dirt
can collect.
In certified diaries where extreme care
is used to sterilize, all utensils are not
only exposed to steam, but remain an
der pressure in metal steam chests for
half hour or more. 1t is possible by this
system to actually sterilize them, This
is not practical, however, for the every
day farmer. All he needs is a stove with
a large kettle With this he can secure
all the boiling water he needs This
boiling water, properly used, will keep
his utensils sweet and clean, although
not absolutely sterile There are GER
tain spores seedsl which are not de
stroyed by boiling water, but boiling
water viii destroy all dangerous disease
germs For practical cleanliness, there
fore. boiling water is sufficient. 1t is
not expected that the. average farmer is
going TO have sterile utensils and pro-
duce sterile milk when 10000 germs to
the cubic centimeter fifteen drops are
allowed in certified milk.
One precaution the farmer should take
with his utensils-that is, they should be
kept bottom side up in pure air after
being cleaned to prevent their being con-
taminated again before use. One farmer
will obtain good results from tea ket-
tie. while another will fail even with the
most expensive sterilization outfit.

WASTE ON THE FARM.
This Is Responsible in a Great Measure
for High Prices.

Philadelphia, Dec. Wastefulness on
the farms and in the cities, failure to fer
tilize and cultivate millions OF idle acres
of land in the United States, inadequate
means of getting products of the soil
from the producers to the consumers and
extravagant desires of housewives are
set forth by speakers at the agricultural
conferences here as contributing causes
of the high prices of food products.
United States Senator Gore of Oklahoma
was the first speaker at the opening ses-
sion, taking for his subject, "The Inter
Relation of city and country" In speak
ing of the shortage in production he said
many farms had been mined" the
strength of the soil had been exhausted
with no attempt at fertilization. and the
fields abandoned He called this treat
ment national calamity and added that
an agricultural bureau would change
such conditions. (which, together with
wastefulness both in marketing crops
and in the cities, is responsible in great
measure for the cost of living"
Both the farmer and the retailer were
blamed for the prevailing high prices of
eggs by G. L. 0pperman, formerly of the
United States department of agriculture.
He declared that the farmer, with full
knowledge, sold bad eggs to the country
merchants and commission houses and
the profits were not made by the cold
storage houses or the middlemen, but by
the retailers.
+. w. Benjamin of Cornell university
gave a description of the cooperative
methods adopted by the agricultural de.
partment of Cornell, by which the col
lege marketed the eggs of small pro-
ducers, charging an advance sufficient
only to pay rent and the cost of handl-
ing. The speakers included Mrs Edith
e. Smith, president of the New England
rural progress association
