MUSSEL MUD AS FERTILIZER
Organic Remains of SheIlfish Secure
Fertility to Poorest and Most
Exhausted Soil.

Consul Frank Deedmeyer writes
from Charlottetown. p. E. l., Canada:
In most of the bays indenting the
shores of Prince Edward island are
found extensive deposits OF mussel
shells. so called locally, being organic
remains of countless generations of
oysters, mussels. clans. and other BIZ
valves of the ocean, and of crusta-
ceous animals generally. The shells,
usually more or less intact, are found
imbedded in dense deposits of mud
like substance and this ombination is
a fertilizer of high value and potency.
1t supplies small quantities of phos-
pilates and alkalies. An ordinary
dressing of it secures fertility in a
striking manner TO the poorest or most
exhausted soil. The shells decay slow
ly, year by year, throwing off a film
of fertilizing stuffs The deposits
around Prince Edward island vary
from five to twenty-five feet in depth.
They are taken up by dredging ma
chimes worked from RATS in summer
or from the ice in winter

London. - That Foreign Secretary
Won JaSow, of Germany, is to retire
shortly, TO be succeeded by Under
Secretary Zimmerman, is asserted.
Won Jagow is to give ill health as his
excuse, but in reality it is due to two
blunders-the fact that Austria sent
her note to the United States pro
testing against shipment of arms,
without consulting Berlin, and be-
cause of revelations in the Belgian
grey book. that Won Jagow was con

GETS 2-CENT MONEY ORDER
Two-Cent Balance Is Paid Through Elk
press Company by Kansas
Woman.

The smallest money order ever made
out by the agent for the local express
company was given to a woman to pay
on an account owed to a mail-order
house. according to a Blackwell story
printed in the Ardmoreite. The WON
an had received letter from the mail
order house notifying her that she
owed the firm two cents. Indignant
and unable to realize the spirit that
would prompt anyone to mail a bill
for two cents, the woman decided that
a post office stamp would not suffice
and that only money order would do.
The fee for the order was three cents
and the postage stamp necessary to
carry it cost two cents more, so that
with the two-cent postage stamp that
carried the bill to the woman seven
cents was expended in collecting a
two-cent debt.-Kansas City Journal

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is a try-
Ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
inyigorator of the female organism.
