Too Much Silage Fatal.

1t required an autopsy to learn the
cause for the dying of eight mules,
part Of drove of ninety, that belong
to Kay county farmer, says the Ok.
lahoma Live Stock News. DR.. j. A.
Immersion, the veterinarian, return
ed recently from the farm where he
conducted the examination. The own
er had fed corn silage for several
months, and the mules, to the eye,
looked in fine condition, but recently
some of them became afflicted with
an unknown maladay. They would
get down and be unable to get up and
then only when prodded and were
visibly in great pain. The only ex.
ternal indication of any sickness, was
the heavy throbbing of the arteries
in the throat which indicated the
trouble was in the heart. Several
expert veterinarians were called and
a postmortem examination made. Vi
tai organs were found to be one and
one half times as large as normal, in
Guiding the heart, spleen, liver and
kidneys. The examination showed
that the stock had been owe rfed on
corn silage and alfalfa, having been
on this ration several months. While
it is known that cattle have died
from silage high in grain, this was
the first time it has been fatal to
equine animals.

season and was filled with thrills
from start to finish. Probasco pitch

port except the first inning when two
errors allowed three rms. In the
seventh and eighth innings the home
boys landed on the ball for enough
hits to win out and some to spare.

DANGER OF TYPHOID FEVER
INCREASES

The floods which have recently
done so much damage in various
parts of Missouri will increase the
danger OF typhoid fever, which has
been quite prevalent in Missouri
Doctor Ravenel also says that the
season when typhoid is prevalent is
coming on, and he warns everyone
to take precaution against this dis
ease.
Typhoid fever is always caused
by carelessness or negligence in re-
gard to the disposal Of sewage from
human beings" said Doctor Rave
mel 1T is everywhere a disease for
the health authorities to deal with,
and prevent by insuring pure water
supply and the proper disposal of
the sewage
However, we have another safe
guard which has given remarkable

attending the injections and the pro-

army and navy, consisting of prac-
tically 10000 men, there were only
nine cases of typhoid fever in 1913,

A Valuable Suggestion
IMPORTANT TOEVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other
organs to remarkable degree and
do a tremendous amount OF work in
removing the poisons and waste mat
ter from the system by filtering the
blood.
During the winter months especial
~, when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less
exercise, drink less water and often
eat more rich heavy food. thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended. Evidence of
kidney trouble, such as lame back,
annoying bladder troubles, smarting
or burning, brick-dust or sediment,
sallow complexion, rheumatism. may
be weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more seri-
GUS trouble.
Many physicians claim that an
herthl medicine containing no miner
ais or opiates has this most healing
influence. An ideal herbal compound
that has had most remarkable success
as kidney and bladder remedy is

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruf, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve
this, get about four ounces Of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning. most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it.
You will find. too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is Inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.

Breeding Of MusseIs in River is Now
Attracting Attention Of Federal
Authorities Who Establish
Laboratory.
REALLY NEW INDUSTRY
II Has Been Found That Mussel Is In
Reality Parasite In Its
Growth, Especially One
Species.

The government Of the United
States has gone Into the business OF
breeding pearl buttons. That. at
least, is what the latest venture OF
the bureau of fisheries comes to In
the long run, although 1t is the but
ton material rather than the buttons
themselves that result from this new
field Of administrative activity. In
an illustrated article, the December
Popular Mechanics magazine says:
Within the last few years the So
called pearl button-really made Of
mothe r-of-peArl-has displaced almost
completely all other kinds of buttons
for the white garments of both sexes
in America. One does not have to
lbe very old to remember when the
only cheap button in general use was
made Of porcelain. Today the old
fashioned china button has almost
entirely DISAPPEARED. The change
came about through the discovery that
the shells of the fresh water mussels
which abound in all rivers and
streams tributary to the Mississippi
are the best of all raw material for
button manufacture-easil worked,
cheap1y gathered, and in apparently
inexhaustible quantities.
"a short time ago, however, the
alarming discovery was made that the
musse1 beds are giving out. The
shell fish were not reproducing them
selves as rapidly as they are being
made up into buttons. The federal
government stepped in and estab-
lished limitations to the dredging OF
mussels to certain streams. Still
the supply continued to diminish IN
spite of the known wonderful fertil-
ity of the parent mussels. So more
careful scientific study was made by
biological experts employed by the
government, and some curious and
interesting facts in the life history
Of the mussel were disclosed.
"The diminution in the supply of
pearl button material, 1t was discov-
ered was due to the destruction of
| fish in the rivers.
1T was learned that In its early
stages of development the fresh wa
ter mussel is parasite, It's existence
depending largely upon its ability to
fasten itself in the gills or fms of a
fish. Certain kinds Of the mollusks
attach themselves to only particu-
lar kind CT fish. The "niggerhead'
mussel, for instance, one of the most
prolific and valuable varieties, Is
parasitic to river herring almost ex-
clusively, and the partial extermina-
ton Of this fish has had a material eff
feet upon the natural reproduction OF
mussels. With this and similar in
formation as guide, the government
has now established a research labora-
tory a few miles from Muscatfne and
has gone into the business OF mussel
farming"

TAFT rs OPPOSED
TO SHIPPING BILL
Former President Hopes FIlIbuster II
Congress Will Result In
Killing It.

Correspondent
copyright, 1915, by United Press.l
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Determined
opposition to the administration ship
ring bill pending In the senate, was
declared here today by VIM. Howard
Taft, former president. In an inter
/, view with the United Press, he also
vigorously commended the f1libuster
against the bill, led by Senator Burton
Of Ohio.
Il am positively opposed to the ship
ping BILL, said the former chief excel
tive. do think It will pass? That
seems to depend now on the success of
the flibuster."
Judge Taft passed through this city
from New Haven early today on his
way to the University Of Virginia to
deliver lecture. He is Intensely in
terested in the shipping bill in its re-
llation to commerce and economic con-
ditions.
American private capital will GER
tainly not be invested in business
which comes in competition with the
government, Taft said. THAT is ex.
actly the situation presented in the
shipping bill. am vigorously oppos.
ed to government ownership in any
form I have had some experience
with type of government ownership
the Panama railroad, and the Fan
ANA steamship line. But they were
OF different character.
II agree with Senator Root l do
not know how long the republican fill
buster in the senate can prevent pas.
sage of the bill--but Senator Burton
has had considerable experience as a
Ifilibuster. 1t also depends on the
extra session"
Everyone, think. wants to avoid
a session after March 4. held solely
for the purpose of passing appropria.
ton measures scheduled for this short
! session, but which might be blocked
| by an unbroken filibuster. I can see
no good in the shipping measure and
| my opposition to 1t is unalterable.'
Judge Taft refused to be drawn into
| any political argument. He fatty re
fused comment on Wilson's Indianap
lolis speech. Sixty-five pounds below
weight, as president, Judge Taft ap.
lpeared in perfect condition. He looked
thappy in his role as college professor
land private citizen. Moreover, he
smilingly said he was. He is travelling
alone with a hand bag and a suitcase,
and apparently enjoying his freedom
from secret service men.
The shipping bill was the only pub
lie question which he would discuss
for publication.
