about nine miles. Kramer didn't quit
because he was "all in" but because
he knew further efforts on his part
would be futile. At eight miles the
tandem that was pacing him pune
tured, and he was left so far in the
rear before help could be given him
that he didn't have a chance in the
world to win. After the race Kramer
said he felt all right, but he wouldn't
make any prediction as to what the
outcome of the race would have been
If he hadn't suffered from a bad
break. l know that Kramer was
anxious to win that race, and ] would
liked to have seen him in at the finish
@
To Goullet goes the big honors of
the race. though Rutt surely gave
him great battle. 1t was Rutt who
made the race such a grueling one
and it was Rutt who ordered mis-
pacemakers to tear all the way"
Now and then when the change Of
pace came he would order his men
to go easy" but as a general thing,
he was shouting to them to go on"
When it came near the finish, Goul-
let, through a gallant effort on his
own part, secured a commanding
lead, and it took Rutt's paeemakers
all their time getting near Goullet in
the last lap. Goullet admitted he was
tired and he followed his pace right
up into the stretch. Rutt stuck to
his men until the middle of the Mum
avenue turn was reached when he
came through with fine burst of
speed. Goullet. ever watchfnl, saw
the "Weltmeister" coming, met his
challenge and beat him to the tape,
although Rutt was gaining rapidly at
the end.
o
The race was enjoyed immensely
by the large crowd of fans and the
cheers for Goullet were long and lib
eraL. He is certainly the white
haired boy" these days, but let us
hope he will not let his Importance
interfere with his good sense, as it
has in the case of another little
boy, who isn't SO much in the lime
light just at present. Goullet is won
derful and all that. and the fans
should give him all due credit, but
he isn't Kramer yet-not yet-and
he VIII have to remember that fact
Personally, I am much delighted at
the way Goullet is riding, for have
always commended that Goullet was
the next best man to Kramer wher
"Goullie" was at his best. He is al
his best now, and he may even beat
Poor Old Steve" If he wants the
match he should have 1t, but he will
find that If Kramer is lacking ir
speed he still has his great Ole

The network of nerves in your body,
like the network of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything Is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain is
a useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals Of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning Of
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull. nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
Of u%rination, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy, Respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS a special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all owe the civilized
world. and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly, using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots Of pure water.

(By MILLER WIS.,


A great many fiocks of hens are fed
90 much. When this Is the case the
hens get hot, their muscles become
dabby, and they do not lay well.
Hens which are fed literally take
on fat very quickly unless means to
compel them to exercise is furnished.
This may be accomplished by throw
Ing their feed grain into litter of some
kind where they must scratch it out.
Hens that are exercised in this way
remain healthy and strong and lay
regularly, unless too much grain Is
thrown into the litter.
Naturally. hens thai are underfed
will not lay, sc it becomes a matter Of
Importance to know just how much
should be fed to a hen to keep her
healthy and in laying condition.. This
matter has been tested many times
and the conclusions do not seriously
differ.
In my own experience I have found
that a Leghorn hen will maintain
health, vigor and capacity t. lay regu-
larly on three ounces of mixed grain
a day, with half an ounce of dried
and ground beef scraps substituted
for the same weight of grain every

other day, if this be fed regularly.
Some green feed was given at the
same time, but this was not consld-
cred, although doubtless of value to
the ration. On a farm, milk would be
a good substitute for the meat.
This ration is for hens confined in
yards where they cannot get any feed
except that given to them.
Hens at liberty do not need meat
e during the warm months when
insects and worms abound, o do
they need any green stuff Of any kind.
A Leghorn hen needs more feed in
proportion to her weight than does a
Wyandotte or Plymouth Rock. l would
say that a good ration for IN of the
larger breeds would be foul ounces Of
grain per day, with meat every other
day, as in the case of the Leghoris.
Hens may be fed a much largeS ra
ton than they need, for they will eat
as long as they can swallow-thei1
craws not seeming to have any feel
ing Of repletion.
The properly-fed hen will lay to the
limit Of her capacity on considerably
less feed than is generally given. A
good many hens do not a because
of too liberal feeding.

HAD CEASED TO BOTHER HIM
6eIf-Possessed Young Person Took
Extreme Measures With Head
gear That Offended Him.

There Is a certain young woman Of
Brooklyn who possesses a hat Of which
she Is inordinately proud. 1t was a
small hat originally, but the owner
had increased its proportions materi-
ly by the addition of willow plumes
attached to wire ~backbones.
Now, she wore this hat to a music
festival not long ago, and she felt
very much dressed up. AS she leaned
back gracefully and complacently in
her chair, she felt a gentle Juggling at
the aforesaid hat from behind.
So she turned and said to a self
possessed young man in her rear:
"Does my hat bother you?"
MOT at ALL" said the young mai
She Of the hat thought it over for a
while. 1t occurred to her that per-
haps she had been ungracious. Ac-
cordingly she turned again, this time
with this query:
Perhaps the plumes interfere with
your view of the stage?"
AT first they did," confessed the
self-possessed young person, "but l
bent 'em down"

TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT
If Customer Was in Luck in Getting
Hat to Fit Him, How About the
Shop Keeper?

After playing a matinee perform
ance recently in Omaha, relates a
popular actor, l discovered my hat
was missing from my dressing room.
This was really a serious loss, for,
being possessed of an exceptionally
large head, it is lot unusually neces-
sary for me to visit every hat shop in
the town before | can find a hat to fit.
Finally, after a lot of effort and deter
mination, l found a hat shop where
they had just one hat that would lit
me, l inquired the price of it, and the
shop keeper answered with an en-
couraging smile that it vas five dol
lars. 1t struck me that the hat wasn't
worth that, being somewhat out of
date, l offered him two and a half.
Two and a half" he exclaimed,
Struggling his shoulders. why you
ought to be mighty glad to get that
even for five dollars. Where will you
be able to find a hat large enough to
fit our head?"
THAT may be true" 1 answered,
but where will you be able to find a
head large enough to fit your hat?'
I got the hat for two and a half.

ROAD-DUST BATH ESSENTIAL
Natures Way of Freeing Fowls From
Mltes-LittIe Work Now Saves
Worry Later On.

Fowls need some kind of dust to roll
in, as that is natures way of freeing
them from mites. Road lust is the best
of all, and the fowls seem to like it
best. 1t requires only a little time to
wheel in a few barrels and dump it in
some dry place for winters use. Then
arrange a frame about six inches deep
and three feet square and keep it filled
with the dust.
Arrange the frame in a sunny place,
as the fowls seem to like a bright spot
when busting. If a bath of this kind is
provided, one need never fear mites of
any kind. Coal ashes are also good.
Wood ashes should never be used, as
the I've often irritates the skin, but
fowls enjoy picking over them for
stray bits Of charcoal. A little work
now will save lots of worry later on.

POULTRY FREE FROM VERMlM
Most Difficult and Trying Problem Is
to Keep Plant Free From Lice
Proper Procedure.

One of the most difficult and try
ing problems which the poultry keep
er has to meet is that Of keeping his
poultry houses and stock reasonably
Tree from lice, mites and other exter-
nal parasites. There are many pro-
prietary preparations on the market
designed to accomplish this end In
one way or another. Most of these
preparations are, in proportion to
their efficiency, very expensive.
In keeping a poultry plant free
from lice there are two points of at
tack: One, the birds themselves; the
other, the houses, nest boxes, roost-
Ing boards, etc. For the birds them
selves experience has shown that
the best way to get rid of the lice
Is by the use of a busting powder to
be worked into the feathers. In u.s.
ing any kind of lice powder on poul-
try, it should always be remembered
that a single application of powder
Is not sufficient. When there are lice
present on a bird there are always
unmatched eggs Of lice ("nits") pres
ent too. The proper procedure is to
follow up a first application of pow
der with a second at an interval of
four days to a week. If the birds are
badly infested at the beginning 1t
may be necessary to make a third ap-
plication. To clean the cracks and
crevices of the woodwork Of houses
and nests of lice and vermin. a liquid
spray or paint is probably the most
desirable form of application.
When the pullets are ready to go
into the laying houses they should be
free from lice. The laying houses
should be given a thorough cleaning.
They should be first scraped, secured
and washed out with water thrown
on the walls and floor. with as much
pressure as possible from a hose.
They are then given two thorough
sprayings, with an interval of several
days intervening, with a solution of
cresol. Then roosting boards, nests,
floors and walls to a height Of about

The lice paint Ckerosene oil and crude
earboIic acid described aboTs}. Final
ly, any y%earlings, or older birds,
whether male or female, which are to
be kept over for the next years work,
are given two or three successive
dustings, at intervals Of several days
to a week between each application,
with the lice powder described above,
before they are put into the cleaned
houses.

A REB ELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot of
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
OF the pasty, starehy, greasy stuHTs on
which it has been made sick.
Then Is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
years ago I was very i'll with catarrh
Of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. I laid in bed four
months and my stomach was SO weak
that I could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind Of food and was SO
weak and emaciated after four months
of this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me In my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, it
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
II am now strong and in better
health than for a great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. l rely on Grape-Nuts for
much Of the nourishment that I get.
The results have certainly been won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is SO weak it will not digest
Grape-Nuts.
