THE MONTENEGRO BLUFF.

Montenegro is playing its diplomatic cards clear
up to the limit Its statesmen may be rather prirni-
tive and their methods of diplomacy bit elemental
but they succeed admirably in making their nten-
tions clear They are unable to understand why
Greece should hold Janina and Saoniki why Bulgaria
and Serva should retain their territorial gains while
Montenegro should give up its great prize In that
regard they are just natural and human enough to
understand that the sympathies of the world will
run to them.

The balance of power in Europe tends to waver
away from the Austro- German partnership. Italy

The non-contributory kind of per-

debate and discussion which took place
during the frs; sessions. When the
victory had been obtained a motion was
made to make il unanimous and this
carried with a hurrah, although some

still felt that they were more likely
to get aid from Congress for this sort

FARNUM SUPERB in
"LITTLEST REBEL"
HE AND ,1o-YEAR-oLD IEADINc
LADY" DIVIDE HoNoRs
IN DRAMA.
(From New Orleans Item.)

1t was a good old fashioned ovation
which Dustin Farnum received Sunday
night at the Tulane theater-a hearty
reception in which cheers appeared to
be on the point Of bursting through. 1t
is not often that conservative Tulane
audience exhibits such weakness, but
Sunday nights assembly in the fash

liked little Mary Niles EIinter, the com
pany's 10 year old leading woman
and liked THE Liittlest Rebel" which
serves as a setting for Mr.. Farnum
and his associates. And there was no
hesitation in making it known that the
drama and its interpreters had found
favor.
THE Littlest Rebel" is a sturdy
American play, a Civil War drama
which gives offense neither to the
North nor the South, but on the con-
trary, is likely to arouse enthusiasm of
the most pronouncedly unconverted
partisan on either side. While the
piece is war play it does not resem-

handsome and magnetic young Ameri-

physical charms and graces he has the
mellowest of deep-toned voices and is

The title role is played by Miss
Mary Miles Minter, a 10 year old little
girl whose home is in Shreveport, and
who is touring the country with heI

ter where it would flow naturally il
allowed to run through pipe.
Gravity can be further utilized to
put water in house and barn. THE
rainfall can be caught in a tank ele-
waited as high as the floor of the sec
ond story. From this the water can
be conducted to the kitchen. bath
room and the stock pens and barns.
1t is very good idea to place the tank
on the second floor of the barn where
the water is better protected from
both heat and cold. Not infreauently
ponds are situated at a greater alti-
tude than the barns. It is far better in
such cases to pipe the water to the
buildings than to take the stock to the
pond. Time is saved and the water is
kept purer than when the stock wade
into the pond to drink.
Almost all labor-saving water sys-
TENS call for storage vessels of some
kind. A strong spring that is brought
to the house by gravity or a large
spring that is pumped by a ram
working under favorable conditions,
are exceptions. Ordinarily, however,
the ram, and always the gasoline en-
gine and the windmill must be supple
mented by something to store water in
as a reserve.
This may be a cement lined reser-
voir, located on an elevation, a wood
en- or metal tank placed on a tower or
on the second floor of building, or a
compressed air tank kept in a cellar
or in the basement Each kind has
points of superiority and weaknesses.
Many home sites do not have the
necessary elevation for a reservoir
When they do, as rule, good deal
of piping is necessary to conduct the
water to and from it. Water in a
reservoir is less affected by heat and
cold than when stored in above ground
tanks. Metal and wooden tanks can
be located anywhere to give the re-
quired pressure and they give no trou
BILE except that they do leak some
times. The compressed air-tank can
be placed under ground where the
water will not freeze nor get very
warm. 1t has the drawback of being
absolutely useless when anything gets
wrong with the air chamber.
Every farm should have a labor say
ing water system. 1t will make life
more pleasant and will usually pay il
dollars and Southern Agricul
turist.

AS a rule there is an absence of sys-
TEN in providing water. The average
farmer carries water from spring or
draws it by hand from the pond or
well. Such methods are antiquated.
The cost in time and inconvenience is
too great and there is not water in the
abundance that it should be furnished.
If people would estimate how much
time is spent in drawing water from
the we'll or cistern or in carrying it
from the spring, more improved sys-
TENS would be put in. Suppose the
spring is $50 feet from the residence
and that so gallons of water are used
per day. This would .necessitate 12
trips or walking l 2-3 miles day, a
total of about 600 miles in year. If
a rate of 2 1-2 miles per hour is made,
"a ten-hour days will be consumed in
carrying water for the year. Should
the family get along with half this
amounnt, the labor of carrying water
for the year would be reduced to 12
ten-hour days. Pumping from wells
and cisterns takes less time unless the
well is very deep, but in year many
hours are spent drawing water. That

GrolUir1g Children
Need Good BoweLs
Growing Children Need Good Bowels
Give a Mild Laxative Occasionally To
Insure Regular Bowel
Action.

AS child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention from
the mother, and as the functions of
the bowels are of the utmost impor-
tance to health great attention should
be paid to them.
Diet is of great importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
1t Is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not
yet settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally according to the individ-
ual circumstances, is DR.. Caldwell's s
Syrup Pepsin. This Is laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that it is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective in the most robust constitu-
tion. At the first sign of tendency
to constipation give small dose of

Labor Saving Water System
(By L. R. Neel.)

/ the spring does not come so cheap
after ALL 1t costs labor, and labor will
produce crops that sell for money
! 1t costs to lead or drive work stock
and the COWS to water hundred yards
or more from the barn. Fifteen min,
utes day spent at such work amounts
to one and three-fourths hours a week.
or 81 hours or nine days year. This
would pay for installing a cheap sys-
tenn in few years.
The hydraulic ram, the gasoline en-
gine and the windmill will pump water
cheaper than it can be drawn by hand.
Each has it's place and all need to be
supplemented by a storage tank or
reservoir.
The hydraulic ram can only be used
where the source of the water supply
is a spring or branch. Where it can
be used it is the cheapest and best.
1t Is operated by the running water,
calls for almost no attention ,and is
not costly at the start. Some fall must
be secured either by piping the water
away from the source to a point where
there will be enough fall or by dam
ming it. The latter is preferable
where practicable. This method of
securing fall may be utilized far more
often than is commonly supposed. A
spring may be walled up when the sur
roundings will not permit Of damming.
One foot of fall will lift portion
of the water thirty feet. The same
ratio holds good with additional feet
of fall. Where there is an abundance
of fall larger part of the total sup
ply can be raised. Where a creek and
spring are together the former may
be used for power to pump the water
of the latter.
The gasoline engine is coming more
and more into favor as a source of
power for pumping water. 1t is GER
tainly the best for average conditions
where the ram cannot be used The
first cost is small, the cost of operat-
ing is light, few cents pumping many
hundreds of gallons of water, and it !
can be started and left to work by
itself.
Wind power is cheap where condi- |
tions are favorable. This gives the
windmill a place for pumping water. |
1t has drawbacks, however. The first |
cost is considerable, especially if a
high tower is used. This kind is u.s.
ually needed to get above obstruc-
tions. 1t is not a pleasant task for
the average person to oil machine
forty or fifty feet above the earth. AS
a consequence most windmills do not
get enough oil. Sometimes a calm
period comes when the wheel will not
turn enough to pump as much water
as is needed. The strong point in the
favor is that the motive
power comes free. The owner has
only to oil the machinery and keep up
repairs.
Natural fall or gravity is the most
economical and satisfactory manner of
placing the water where wanted, when
this is available. There are yet those
who carry water frdm the spring down
hill to the house, but the number is
decreasing. Worse economy could
hardly be imagined than to carry wa
