INFECTION AND INSECT BITES
DANGEROUS.

DANGEROUS.
Mosquitoes, flies and other insects,
which breed quickly in garbage pals,
ponds of staguant water, barns, musty
places, etc., are carriers of disease.
Every time they bite you, they inject
poieon into your system from which
some dread disease may result. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Liniment. 1t is anti
septic and few drops will neutralize the
infection caused by insect bites or rusty
nails. Sloan's Liniment disinfects Cuts,
Bruises and Sores. You cannot afford
to be without it in your home. Money
back If not satisfied. Only 25c. at your
Druggist.

"Give me the man who loves his work,
However hard It be,
Who only thinksit mean to shirk,
And hates the hireling's plea;
Though hands and face be hard and brown,
That is trivial thing.
Who wears his duty like crown
Is every inch king"
"There's time for work and q time for play.
A time for everything good, each day,
But never time In this short life
For Quarrels and angry words and strife"
Let US do our work as we'll,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house where gots may dwell,
Beautiful. entire, and clean.

Mr.. BIacksnake Wishes He
Had Been Quicker.

Mr.. Blacksnake was in no hurry. He
had plenty Of time Anyway. he thought
he had. He never likes to be hurried
when he Is dining. He long ago learned
the wisdom of taking plenty OF time for
his meals. though to see him eat you
would think him the greediest fellow
alive. for he swallows his food whole.
Now, as he looked in at the doorway of
the home of Drummer the Woodpecker
and counted the five babies there his eyes
glistened. What a feast they would
make! Just before he looked in they had
been calling greedily for food, but now
they were still. Though they knew
nothing about him, they seemed to feel
that this was terrible monster staring
down at them with cruel, hungry eyes,
He drew bacla his head to look about
him before going inside. and he laughed
as Drummer dashed at him, coming SO
close that his wings actually brushed Mr.
Blacksnake, who might have caught him
II he had tried. But he didn't try. He
didn't want tough old bird when right
within reach were five tender young
birds. So he just hissed at Drummer and
all the other birds Of the Old Orchard,
and ran out his tongue at them. The
truth is he rather enjoyed seeing them so
. frightened and angry and helpless. and
that is one reason why he did not hurry
to swallow those five helpless babies.
Now, you know, the Old Orchard is near

boy heard the great racket made by the
J birds as they screamed. OF course he did.
He would have had to be deaf not to.
He listened for a moment, then started
toward the Old Orchard.
There Is either a snake or a hawk
over there" he muttered, for he has
learned much Of the little people who live
there, and he guessed from the sound Of
their voices, the excitement and the anger
in them, that one or the other of their
two greatest enemies was causing all
this trouble. AS he walked he picked up
a stick and stone. '"They may come In
| handy" he thought.
Now, the birds were so excited, and

SHIPS TO PAY $10,725
TO PASS THROUGH CANAL
Many Vessels Have Applied for
Measurement Under Rules
for Waterway. ....

NEW YORK, July 29.-In anticipation
Of the opening Of the Panama canal
fifty vessels have thus far applied to the
surveyor Of the port of New York for
measurement under the canal rules.
Thirty vessels. It was announced today.
already have been granted certificates.
which they will produce whenever they
pass through the canal. There is no fee
for measurement and foreign nations can
also measure for the canal traffic.
Under the canal rules it will cost the
American steamships Kroonland and Fin
land $10.725 apiece to pass through the
canal, or more than $21 600 for the round
trip from New York to the Pacific coast
ports. For fair-sized freighter the
tolls will amount to about 5000, and
for an auxiliary motor yacht about S7S
The fees are without regard, to .displace-
ment tonnage or to what Is contained in
a vessel, and, 1t is said, it may be pos
sible to put through the canal a cargo
whose tonnage is three times that of the
registered tonnage upon which tolls are

Testing Soil.

q have read so much about the use
of lime that 1 ordered a standard soil
tester. Tested some black soil with
a hard-packed bottom, on which
usually fail to get stand. Result
showed no lime. Then tested samples
from all over my farm and it showed
no lime, yet some places are produc-
tive and some not. Please tell me how
| can tell when l need lime"
We do not know anything about the
tester" you used, but there is little
doubt that any soil in your section is
apt to be acid and deficient in lime.
This can be shown, as We have often
given directions by getting some blue
litmus paper from drug store. Mix
up some soil wet, and put a slip of the
blue paper in it and let it stay half an
hour. Then if it has turned red or
pink, it shows acidity and that the soil
needs lime.-The Progressive Farmer.
