new LAW PROVIDES FOR
PENSIONING MOTHERS
7-- 81
MAKES RADICAL CHANGE IN MANNER
THAT POOR MAY Be GIVEN
COUNTY AID.

Heretofore the poor people OF q
county have been placed under the
special care of its commissioners
as overseers of the poor, Under an
arrangement generally observed BY
the different county boards, where
by each commissioner looked after
the needs OF the poor in his partic-
ular district. The new law which
went into effect the first of this
month. makes a big change in this
regard SO far as the needs ofmotla-
ers are concerned.
The new act makes it the duty
OF the county commissioners to
levy All annual tax. not to exceed
one-tenth OF a mill on the valuation
of the taxable property of the
county. for the purpose OF provid-
ing fund for the partial support
Of women whose husbands are
dead or become permanently dis
abled for work by reasons of ply
sical or mental in6rmity, or whose
husbands are prisoners. when such
women are poor and are the motflz
ers of children under the age OF
fourteen years"
Upon verified petition made by
such poor woman, or any member
of the board of county commis-
sioners. or any other charitable or
ganization to the county court, the
judge thereof lis empowered to
iSssssks An allowance 81
ceed fifteen dollars per month fora
mother having one child under
fourteen, or in addition thereto
not to exceed seven dollars per
month for each additional child.
Such allowance is to be made
only upon the conditions: That
the child must be living with the
mother; that in the absence of such
allowance the mother would be re-
quired to work regularly away
from home; that in the judgment
OF the court the mother is proper
person morally, physically and
mentally for bringing up the child.
that it is necessary in order to
avoid breaking up the home, and
that it appears to be for the bene-
fit of the child to remain with its
mother.

ZEN COMMANDMENTS
OF TREE PLANTING
F0afsT SERVICE DEvISES SET OF RULES
FOR THE PLANTING OF AN EFFECT.
I'VE WINDBREAK.

The forest service has devised a
decaloRue for the use Of farmers in
tlle plains regions. These ten
commandments are to be displayed
as part Of the exhibit which the
fofest service is preparing for an
opposition to be held during Oc-
tober at Tulsa, Okla. in connec-
ton with the eighth international
dry farming congress. The COM
4 andments for owners OF wind
Breaks are as follows:
.sI. Place the windbreak at right
angles to the direction of injurious
prevailing winds.
Devote from one-eighth to
one-ffth of the farm to timber.
Its protective value more than pays
for the ground it occupies. to say
Ifothing Of the timber pield.
Plant only species suited to
windbreak use, to the region and
to the locality.
4, Plant rapid growers for
quick results; but. l.nderplant with
slower rowing species. which are
usual J longerslived and more val
Supplement deciduous

sing proper to the species used.
ftp trees should be close enough

poles M alaapld dinoI
be SO crowded as to produce
spir1dling growth.
7. Make the windbreak thick
from the bottom up. especially on
the side toward the wind. This
may be done by using species
which branch near the ground. by
planting outside rows OF low-grow-
ing trees, by encouraging natural
reproduction, and by underplant-
ing.
8. Cultivate the plantation thor
oughly while it is young.
9. Do not allow excessive
grazing where reproduction is de-
sired.
10. Do not thin Your woodlot
too heavily or take out the best
trees for minor uses. Remember
that timber tract should be inn
proved by use and that each clear
ing should leave it in better con
dition than before.
Other exhibits will show the
proper, locations for windbreaks,
suitable species for plantings and
the direction of harmful prevailing
winds in various regions.

Nearly everybody is obliged more or
less to take laxative. There are Of

people also need occasionally to take a

Lincoin's Usual Swear Word.

On one occasion Lincoln, when en-.
tering the telegraph Office, was heard
to remark to Secretary Seward, "By
jings, governor, we are here at last"
Turning to him in reproving man.
ner, Mr.. Seward said: "Mr. President.
where did you learn that inelegant ex-
pression?" Without replying to the
secretary, Lincoln addressed the oper-
ators, saying: Young gentlemen, ex-
cuse me for swearing before you. by
jings' is swearing, for my good old
mother taught me that anything that
had by before it was swearing"
The only time, however, that Lincoln
was ever heard really to swear was
on the occasion of his receiving a tele-
gram from Burnside, who had been
ordered week before to go on to the
relief of Rosecrans at Chattanooga,
who was in great danger of an attack
from Bragg. On that day Burnside
telegraphed from Jonesboro, further
away from Rosecrans than he was
when he received the order to hurry
toward him. When Burnside's telegram
was placed in Lincoln's hands he said,
oh Jonesboro." He then tele-
graphed Burnside as follows:

While our recent national chief eA

and it's summer heat and moved te

Buzzards Bay, Oyster Bay and Bev

ever to remain on guard in the ma

that he would gladly have ridder

Lincoln and the humor;sts.

During some of Lincoln's daily Wis
it's to the war department there were
many spare moments while he waited
for fresh news from the front or for
the translation of cipher messages,
and when he did not fill up the other
wise idle time by telling stories he
would read aloud some humorous ar
ticle from a newspaper, as, for in
stance, Orpheus c. Kerrs droll re-
ports from Mackerelville, or Petrole-
UNI V. Nasby's letters in sarcastic
vein; at other times Artemus Wards
inimitable lectures. Some of Nasby's
letters were irresistibly funny, espe-
cially those relating to the continuous
struggle for the postofflce at "Confed-
rit Cross Roads" and to the backward
ness of some Of our generals, relates
David Homer Bates in the Century.

Is one of these nervous men who con.

happening around the place. He hired
a new bell boy recently, and gave
aim the usual warning:
Remember" he warned, "if any
thing happens around here I'm to be
the first person to know about It,"
Soon after that he was showing
three naughty Daughters of the Con-
federacy one Of the best rooms in the
place, when the new bell boy rushed
In with his hair on end.
Something's happened!" he replied.
The three Daughters of the Con-
federacy turned coldly, and the man.

demanded to know the trouble.

the boy has just had kittens! What

emphasize.
A slight condition Of constipation may

biliousness, 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 IF some acute dis
ease. For either one Of these conditions
q 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 as
household remedy is understood no homo
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
few doses of Peruna vigorous appetite il
produced and if there be any sluggishness
of the bowels their function is gradually
restored.
Most laxatives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become so thoroughly established that
all medicines are superauous. Peruna will
be needed. It is exactly the remedy that
meets numerous necessities of the house
