DoN'TS.

Don't envy others. The same people
may be envying your soft snap. If
you're content to do your best, kind
providence will do the rest and you
and yours will be well blessed.
Don't use an old Stat corncrib, the
rat pantry and fat hen confectionery.
Don't let fruit rot under the trees
that hogs and chickens will thrive on.
Don't paint a galvanized roof until
the weather makes it rough enough to
hold the paint.
Don't fail to SOW a crop in that poul-
try yard where the grounds foul. Win
ter rye for winter picking.
Don't bury the Ratchet in that roost-
er's head. Use good sticking knife
and bleed him right.
Don't expect to make extra gains I'M
less you take extra pains.
Don't go back to the soil with the
idea that agriculture Is snap and the
same as it was fifty years ago. Such
a hallucination spells ruination.
Don't preach conservation of our nat
ural resources and allow your jaw
power to run to waste.
Don't consider building a rooster the
same as building a box. Some block
heads do that and fall fiat.
Don't guy the preacher because he
dotes on chicken. Remember he Is a
prime poultry promoter and makes a
market for your tough antediluvians.

To Keep Tools BRIGHT.

To keep tools clean and bright rub a
little mercurial ointment over them.
which will form moisture resisting
conting. Mercurial ointment Is also
known as blue butter. 1t is somewhat
poisonous.
Another good mixture to keep tools
from rusting is made by taking six
parts of lard and one part of rosin.
Heat these together slowly until the
rosin is well melted The mixture is
then taken uut into the open air for fear
of fire ana b@nZne added in about the
proportion Of one pint of benzine to
half Il pint Of lard-rosin mixture
When cool the mixture can be rubbed
lightly over the bright steel articles.
Tools thus treated will resist the cor.
tosive action of even salt water.

IMPORTANCE OF
HEALTHY KIDNEYS
Lancaster Readers Should Learn to
Keep the Kidneys Well

The kidneys have big work to do.
All the blood in the body is coursing
through the kidneys constantly to be
freed of poisonous matter. It is a
heavy enough task when the kidneys
are we'll, but a cold, Chill, fever or
some thoughtless exposure is likely to
irritate, infame and congest the kid
neys and interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently begins,
and is often accompanied by some ir-
regularity of the urine-too frequent
passages, sediment or retention.
Thousands testify to the wonderful
merit of Doan's Kidney Pills, a rem
edy for the kidneys only, that has
been used in kidney troubles so
years. You will make no mistake in
following this advice. 1t comes from
a resident of this locality:
A. H. Patch, Bloomington, Wis,
says: Several years ago l used
two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills for
backache and they quickly relieved
me. l got them from the j. A.
Meller Drug Co."
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

HOLDS IMPORTANT POST

Secretaries Of state have come and
gone, administrations have changed,
but for more than a quarter OF a CEN
fury Alvey A. Adee, second assistant
secretary of state, has stood at the
helm of Uncle Sans foreign relations
and steered it into safe waters.
Mr. Adee is commonly credited
with carrying the state department
around in his head, so thoroughly
versed is he in diplomatic precedent
and requirement. Through long prac-
tice and good Judgment the succeed
ing secretaries of state have come to
rely implicitly on Mr.. Adee's word in
diplomatic matters.
The war caught Mr.. Adee on his
annual leave, bicycling in France.
He returned Immediately. The sigh
of relief that went up in the state de-
partment when the venerable secre-
tary walked in, hung up his hat and
started to work, was prodigious.
Much of the work of handling matters
with the war territories and that re-
handed over to Mr.. Adee's jurisdiction,

REDMOND'S NOBLE SENTIMENT

John Redmond, the Irish leader,
in a manifesto issued recently, gives
expression to noble sentiments. He
declares that the Irish people appre-
ciate the fact that the British democ-
racy have decided to give them back
their national liberties; that Ireland
has promised that a concession of ltb-
erty would change dissatisfaction to
friendship and good will, and that
Ireland would be false to her history
did she not willingly bear her share
in the burdens and sacrifices of the
present European war
Finally he makes the following
appeal:
Il would appeal to our country
men of different creed and Of oppo-
site political opinions to accept the
friendship we have so consistently of
fered them and 10 allow this great
war, as TO which their opinions and
ours are the same, to swallow up all
the smaller issues in the domestic gov
eminent of Ireland which now divide

cd has the simplicity of genius. AS

Her indignant look brings a repetition
of the cry, with a slight addition
which does not altogether propitiate
her: Cit out of town-paipers!"

About the Orchid.

In 1853 only 80 specimens of Epi-
dendra were known to be under culti-
walton. In 1872 a traveller noted some
specimens in Japan, but up to 1920
orchids were looked upon as a curl
osity in botanical gardens. The
moth orchid" grown in the Philip
pines, is an air plant, as are many of
the specimens. The price paid for this
rare bloom was 100 guineas

NEW PAPAL SECRETARY OF STATE

Cardinal Domenico Ferrata, secre-
tary of the congregation of the holy
office, whom the new Pope Benedict
XIV has appointed secretary of state,
is regarded as the member Of the
Sacred college best fitted to occupy
this Office, second only in Importance
and influence to that of the papacy
itself just at this time, because of the
heavy burden resting upon the Vati-
can due to the war. He succeeds Car
dinal Merry Del Val, secretary under
Pope Plus x.
Cardinal Ferrata has had a diplO-
matte influence such as comes to few
Of the college of cardinals. He has
had exceptional experience in ecclesi-
astical matters, and he has always
manifested a friendly disposition to-
ward the leading statesmen of Italy
and the reigning house of Savoy. His.
choice of secretary is most pleasing
to the Italian government, and it is
prophesied he may do much to heal
the breach between it and the Vatican.
