SHORT STORY WITH A MORAL
That II Pays to Read Advertisements
Is Proved by This Happening
In New York.

The wise man reads the advertise
ments in his favorite newspaper as
closely as he does the news. One of
these men of wisdom is Samuel Glib
bons of this city. Because Mr.. Glib
bons is a close reader of Herald adj
vertisements four American heirs to
a Canadian estate valued at half a
million dollars have been found.
The story of this romance in real
life was told recently, In its search
for the heirs to the estate of Mrs.
Martha E. Campbell of Prescott,
Ont, the Trust and Guaranty Com
pany, Ltd, of Toronto placed an adj
vertisement in the personal column
of the Herald. Mr.. Gibbons read it.
William T. Doherty, one Of the long
sought heirs, was known to Mr.. Glib
bons and was soon put in possession
of the news that meant so much tc
him, his sister and his two brothers.

Mainz is regarded by those who

The west of Europe. Situated on the
eastern front of the Rhine, which
it dominates, it commands also the
natural way to the Danube, and the
routes leading to the Elbe valley, to
Cassel and to the Black forest. Next
comes Koenigsberg, on the Baltic,

Dieme canal.
Metz, the greatest stronghold in
Alsace-Lorraine, is protected by
eleven forts, and in peace time it is

Lexington people, especially
mothers with small children, will
be glad to know that the new
Outside" treatment for Group
and colds, that has made such a
success in the South, will shortly
be introduced here. A number
the leading druggists are arrang-
ing to give away packages free.
If your druggist is one of these,
the coupon below will entitle you
to receive free a full-size 25-cent
package.
This treatment is entirely diff
ferent from the usual internal
medicines which disturb the di-
gestion and are especially injur-
ious to the delicate stomachs of
chlldren.
1t is the form GA a salye that is
applied externally over the
throat and chest. In severe cas-
es it is covered with a warm
flannel cloth. The heat of the
body releases the soothing, an
tiseptic vapors of Thymol, Eucal-
yptol, Menthol, ETC., which are
inhaled with each breath. Al
the same time the preparation is
absorbed through the skin, TAX,
out the soreness and tightness.
In cases of Group a little rubbed
over the chest will render thu
breathing easier in five minutes
and in fifteen minutes the trou
BILE is over. The most severr
head or chest colds are usual.

relieved in one night. For all
bronchial troubles, tonsilitis,
hoarseness and difficult breath
ing this new treatment will be
found wonderfully effective.
1t is a positive protection
against pneumonia in its earlier
stages and in advanced cases the
medicated vapors inhaled loosen
the phlegm and ease the difficult
breathing, without interfering
with other forms of treatment.
And the best part about it is
that this preparation can be used
with perfect safety on the
youngest member of the family.
The full formula is given on ev-
cry wrapper.
None of the druggists have as
yet received their shipments, but
as the free supply is limited it is
advisable to present your coupon
at once and ask your druggist to
reserve you a free package.

the corn slower the ewes will eat,
has been found satisfactory. but
not as successful as where silage
is used. Another ration that has
been tried at the Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station con-
sists of corn silage and grain
without any hay. This was only
fairly successful. When the price
is not prohibitive it will be found
advisable to add some clover or
alfalfa hay to this ration. Corn
slower and grain has also been
used but in this case about 10
to "a of a pound of grain was
necessary to keep the ewes in
good condition. The grain ration
should not consist Of corn, but
of a laxative feed, such as bran
and oil cake which will keep the
ewes from having compaction
and other digestive troubles.

@UCH COAL LEAVES COUNTRY
Exports From the United States Are
Rising Rapidly-Figures for
Last Fiscal Year.

The United States, which produces
40 per cent Of the worlds coal, ex-
ports annually 21.50O,OOO tons, or
about 5 per cent of the output. The
total export for the fiscal year end
ing with June 30, 1914, was valued
at SS6,00O,00O or less than half the
value Of the coal exports of the Unit
ed Kingdom and slightly less than
those Of Germany. Certainly not an
accomplishment to deserve any COM
mcnt, until we look back a few
years and find that the exports of
coal from this country have consider
ably more than doubled in the last
ten years, The increase has been
S,500,OO0 tons in 1904 to 10, ,0OO
tons in 1914, the latter total being
the largest with the one exception of
the Immediately preceding year, on
record. Since the beginning of July
and more especially from August on
the export coal situation has been un.
certain, but on the whole encourag.
ing. There have been large increase,
particularly in the South American
and Mexican trade, and Italy has be-

PURE WATER FOR SOLDIERS
Elaborate Precautions Taken by Heads
Of Armies to Insure a Proper
and Ample Supply

Suitable drinking water is Of vital
Importance to an army, and this is
only one Of a multitude of problems
that must be studied carefully by
those who conduct a successful cam
paign.
The water supply of a camp is a
matter of great Importance, the Sci
entiic American says. Only running
water is used. In the German army
the upstream water is used for drink
ing purposes and the downstream
water for watering horses and for
bathing. Suitable signs notify the
men which water is safe to drink and
which may be used for bathing. In
shallow streams basins are dug or
small dams built so as to form a res
ervoir of ample dimensions. Step
ping stones are provided to keep the
water clean, as well as board protec-
ton to prevent the banks from crum-
bling. Basins are dug for watering
horses; troughS are provided only in
case of necessity, and are then
propped on posts and filed by means
Of pumps. Pipes may be driven if
water lies at a reasonable depth-in
other words, not more than twenty
feet. Depending upon the size, these
pipes will deliver from four tc
twenty-five gallons per minute. II

which has been knocked out, is placed

Care of the Breeding Flock.
By Howard Hackedorn.

A large number Of Missouri
sheep breeders and feeders prof
tied by that part Of the program
during Farmers Week at the
University, that pertained tt
their business.
Most of the sheep feeders have
had a very successful season.
The majority of them claim to
be making a good interest on the
investment in their breeding
focks. One important factor in
making spring lamb production
profitable is low cost of mainte-
nance. A breeding flock will
CLEAN a living in the stubble
field and corn fields during the
summer and early fall from
grasses and weeds that other an
imals will not eat. During the
winter the breeding flock should
have a good rye or bluegrass pas
ture to run over. In this way
they will get plenty Of exercise
which is necessary to the good
health Of the flock. In addition
to pasture they should have some
feed.
The kinds of rations for breed
ing ewes in winter will depend
upon the condition. A eve in
good condition can be s~atisfact-
orily maintained during the win
ter on from 312 to 4 pounds of
good clover hay a day. The addi-
ton Of some grain about a month
before Landing is advisable I'M
der most conditions, except when
the lambs are late and the ewes
can be LANDED on a good blue
grass or other pasture.
After Landing the eve SHOULD
receive from three-fourths to !
pound of grain in addition to al
the hay and silage or Other
roughness that she will eat.
The grain rations that have
proven successful at the Nilsson
