Fields as Well Cultivated as Gardens, Says Agricul-
 tural Report
36, ,96O,OO0 ACRES
 PLANTED OVER II. s.
Country's Crop Second Largest Ever Recorded With Prospects of Pro- duction Better-Big Inn
 provement Shown

Washington, July Ion the second largest acreage ever recorded, and with the prospects of production probably equal to or better than those of last year. the growing cotton crop of the United states today was reported by department of agriculture as being 7e.s per cent of normal. with the area in cultivation as 36.96o.ooo acres.
 The condition is slightly less than per cent below the average condition on June 15 for the past 10 years. Bad weather in the season caused low condition in number of states but during June conditions in those locali- ties improved greatly. In Texas. where on May 25 the condition was 6a per cent of normal, the June 25 report showed a condition of Ii per cent; in Oklahoma 1t improved from 6S to 70; fin North Carolina from 76 to s2; and in South Carolina from 7s to S1.
 The area in cultivation Is 4ss. .oo0 acres or 1.S6 per cent less than the revised acreage in cultivation a year ago. Oklahoma reported an per cent decrease and Texas and Virginia n j per cent decrease In California the area was more than doubled. and Louis jana reported an increase of 10 per cent in acreage.
 Outline of States
 This outline of cotton's condition up to June 25. in the various states was issued in connection with the depart ment's estimates:
 Virginia; There has been improve ment during the month and the crop Is practically all up, though the fields are uneven The plant Is smaller than usual at this time.
 North Carolina; There has been pro- nounced improvement over month ago. Good rains ln nearly all parts # the state brought up practically all cotton. Fields are uneven. but tho plants are strong and growing rap idly.
 South Carolina: All portions of the state, except the northwest, have had bountiful rains since the middle of the month. causing cotton not pre- viously germinated to come up. The stand is practically full. though of un- even appearance.
 Georgia Probably 12 to t5 per cent of the total planted acreage, mainly in the northwest portion. did not come up until early in June. The remainder of the crop is In splendid condition. All indications point to a large crop. There are no reports of insects.

tried many remedies, all of which
seemed to cause pain without giving
much relief. 1 finally tried DR.. Miles
Laxative Tablets and found them ex-
cellent. Their action is pleasant and
mild, and their chocolate taste makes
them easy to take. I am more than
glad to recommend them
"Clean up the bowels and keep
them Clean" is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual con-
stipation. Do not delay too long,
but begin proper curative measures.
DIR. Miles Laxative Tablets are a
new remedy for this old complaint,
and great Improvement over the
cathartics you have been using in
the past. They taste like candy
and work like a charm. A trial
will convince you.
- DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at rs cents

found satisfactory after trial, re-
turn the box to your druggist and

her own life spoiled. as she thought,
by the man against whom she had
been warned. But now, with renewed
health and resolution, she was about
to commence life again, to build up
from the wreck. Halstead listened
quietly until she had finished, then
broke out:
You know there amt no need for
it. Kitty. You know I've been wait

earnestly. You're too good a man

as to harm man like that. Now,
Halstead, please his arm
as she saw the grim amusement on
his face-"don't make me go on feel
in I've ruined your life. There's
Nelly Bocup. She likes you, an"
Halsted laughed aloud.

he interrupted. Il want you, an if l
can't have you now, I'm willin' to
wait awhile. When it gets too hard
l shall grab you up an run SO fast
an far you won't be able to get
breath to say no."
I'm sorry, Halstead." There were
tears in Kitty's eyes, but her voice
was firm. Il shan't ever marry any
man to hamper him. 1t won't be no
use for you to wait and ask me
again, ever"
There was much sickness in the
town that fall-a malignant spotted
fever, highly contagious one by
one the poorer portions of the town
were put under quarantine. Then one
evening Halstead helped what he
thought to be a drunken man to his
home, and the next day the man came
down with the fever, and within a
week was dead. Within an hour af-
ter Halstead heard this he was on his
way to the woods for what he said
was to be few days hunting. In
reality, it was to watch himself.
One morning before people had be-
gun to appear on the streets, he stag
gered to the sidewalk outside the
fence Of his sisters home, where
Kitty boarded.

great many bungalows are built with
out paying any attention to this fea-
ture. and it is = mistake. an unneces-
sary mistake, because it may be SO
arranged by selecting plan Of this
kind. Another great convenience in
this bungalow plan Is the cupboards
In the kitchen, which take the place
Of a pantry. They reach from the
floor to the ceiling, with drawers and
shelves all the way up. and the front
OF the cupboard is closed over with
doors. Bungalows are intended. as
usual thing. more for summer use, and
the housekeeping ia not supposed to
be OF a very heavy nature. Supplies
are bought daily at most summer re-
sorts, the same as In the city, SO the
large storage rooms are not absolute
ly necessary. But cupboard con-
yeniences are appreciated in bum
galow the same as In larger house,
and should be provided at the time OF
building.
The water pipes for the kitchen and
for the bathroom are close together.
SO they may be very short. II the
house is to be occupied only in the
summer, special attention must be
given to placing the pipes In such a
way as to facilitate drainage, as they
should be SO connected as to be easily
taken apart. otherwise the frost Will
split them and cause considerable an
noyance and expense. But they may
be fitted with drain cocks and put to-
gether with unions without adding to
the first cost.
A pump is another essential that
needs special attention. Almost any
cheap pump will work for a short
time. bu. II you expect to winter 1t
over to use again next year, get a
good one. Then see to 1t that 1t is SO
put together that 1t may be easily
taken apart when a new valve 'sneed-
ed or when the cottage is abandoned
