SHOULD GET LARGER CROPS
American Farmers Might Largely In
crease Their Production Through
Scientific Methods.

Our Pennsylvania Dutch are good
farmers, but not SO good as their rela.
tfves in Germany. For every bushel Of
wheat a Pennsylvania farmer produces
from one acre the German grows two
and a tenth bushels.
His farm is small, but the man who
delves beyond the Rhine makes each
acre produce exactly twice as many
potatoes as do our farmers.
The man who bows to a kaiser In
stead Of a president extracts just a
half more oats and over q third more
barley and about 60 per cent more rye
from each acre than does the improvi.
dent American.
The man who has but a dollar can
live for a long time on 1t, whereas the
prodigal a waste a $40 bill on one
dinner. The German has SO little
ground that he makes 1t work doubly
hard.
When the United States has 200,-
100000 population our farm production
an acre will likely have doubled from
sheer necessity.-Public Ledger.

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa
It is true that nature and a woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
q remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more eficacious than any
other combination of drugs vel COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands Of letters from women seek
ing health many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

White promises to be as popular as
ever this summer for beach wear, but
all white cannot be pronounced as
fashionable as white combined with
color. The color, however, must be
rightly chosen and rightly placed.

Much Used Remedy WIN Not
Prevent Malaria.
Naval Surgeons Make Report on
Tropical Observations.

Washington. Oct 2s.-Ordinary
doses Of quinine will not prevent ma
LARA, but it may retard or delay the
symptoms. This Is the conclusion of
naval surgeons based on their expert
ence obtained after considerable trop-
ical service with the Atlantic battle
ship feet.
A special report on the subject has
been made to the navy department by
Surgeon w. L. Mcguire, In which he
says that persons infected with ma
laria may NOS show any evidence of
the disease while taking quinine, but
when 1t is discontinued will suffer at
tacks Of acute malaria paroxysms- In
fact. Quinine may be harmful from
another reason because after taking it
for long period q certain tolerance
of the drug may establish, causing
great difficulty In curing these dis
eases.
1t is admitted that an expeditfonary
force during a short active campaign
In malarial country might hold the
malaria in allegiance. temporarily. by
taking quinine from i've to ten grains
daily for each person.

SHE DARKENED HER
GRAY HAIR
She Tells How She Did It.

A well-known resident Of Kansas City,
Mo, who darkened her gray hair by-sa
simple home process. made the following
statement: ANY lady or gentleman can
darken their gray or faded hair, stimu-
late its growth and make 1t soft and
glossy with this simple recipe, which they
can mix at home To half pint OF water
add o. of bay rum. small box OF Bar
DO Compound and 4 o. of glycerine-
These ingredients can be purchased at any
drug store at very little cost Apply to
the hair every other day until the gray
hair is darkened sufficiently, then every
two weeks. This mixture relieves the
scalp troubles and is excellent for dand-
run and falling hair. 1t does not stain
the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does
not rub on. 1t will make gray haired
person look 10 to 20 years younger.''-Adv.

SEARCH OF CITY RECORDS
DIsCLOsEs INTERESTING FACTS
City Clerk NJ. +. Cannon TabuIatos
List of City Officials Who Have
Served Since Pullman Was
Incorporated in 1888

A search of the city records made
recently by City Clerk Matilda r
Cannon, who tabulated for ready
reference the entire list of officials
who have served since the town was
incorporated in April of 1883. has
disclosed many facts which will ba
of interest to old-time residents of
Pullman as we'll as furnishing an in
teresting page in Pullman's histor-
zeal transcript.
The town of Pullman was incor-
pprated in April, 1888, and at that
time boosted population of less
than 500. Farm property on the out
skirts of the city, which is now val
ued at as high as $110 an acre. could
at that time be purchased for $40 an
acre in any quantity, and the future
of Pullman was a question which IN
to that time had not been taken serl-
ously, the handful of residents con-
tenting themselves with eking out an
existence and paying little attention
TO making future plans for the little
community. With the incorporation
OF the town, however, the residents
became at once imbibed with the
feeling that Pullman was destined to
find her place among the cities Of
the Inland Empire, and at once be-
gan campaign for a bigger and bet
ter Pullman, which has continued
uninterrupted until Pullman is now
recognized as the center of the rich
est agricultural region in the world.
and the home of the greatest educa-
tional institution in the West.
Of the city officials who took Of
flee upon the incorporation of the
city, r. Lanning, the first marshal,
is the only one who still claims Pull
man as his home. For two years
the destinies of the town were ably
looked after by a board of trustees.
but early in 1890 the town was
raised to the fourth class and the
municipal system of a mayor and
councilmen still in vogue was adopt
ed, w. v. Windus being elected tha
first mayor.
In 1898, with Thos. Neill, now OF
ColfaX, serving as mayor, the town
was still further advanced, and this
time was put in the rank of the
third class towns.
j. S. Clark, the present city treas
urer, has the distinction of having
served the city in official capacity
for the greatest number of years
For two years Mr.. Clark served as a
Qouncilm an, three years as clerk and
