Hendricks was in high spirits the

as she worked about the kitchen,
knowing that his peculiar style Of
humor was always acceptable to her
and received in the right spirit.

EaNE HEALTH CLUB

Buying Hea. h: No matter how many excellent physicians there may be in your community no matter how great the skill of your family Soctor, no matter how many Jays may be passed regulating the practice of med ictne or the sale of drugs. there is a certain amount of uncommon, not common, sense that must be used by each individual for himself if he would retain health.
 There are some sayings or quota tions that have been passed from one generation to another that bear fre- quent repetition and one Of them is that after the ageN of 40 a man is either a doctor or a fool Now, I think that. the person who first ex- pressed that idea did not mean that every man must be a graduate in medicine, but that by the time he has lived 40-syears he should know, by observation, if in no other way, enough of the natural laws Of health and of the simple natural methods of cure that he could at least pre- serve his own health and teach it's laws to his family
 Since [ began to teach the prac- ticaI laws of health through the pub< lie press, something near a quarter of Q century ago, there has been a tremendous revolution in this country and the fight which then started against vicious patent medicines, pods-

that the majority of the symptoms are due to what is called a structure of the sphincter ami. The immediate cause of piles is the tightness Of the internal rectal muscles, which tight ness seriously interferes with a free circulation of the blood in the rec turn. The remote cause of piles is that condition of the body which pro- duces this tightness of the sphincter muscles, the most common condition being chronic constipation. although chronic diarrhoea is a frequent cause, as is also that form of bowel trouble in which constipation and diarrhoea alternate. Tn fact, any bowel trou- ble which irritates the internal rectal muscles may produce piles. I say may because many people have suf- fered from such diseases for years without having piles, simply because their veins were in excellent condition. Some people are peculiarly liable to could get tomorrow if they were free of the rectum, just as others suffer from Overdistension of the veins or the lower Iin1bs-vartcose veins.
 A surgical operation is not neces- sary to cure this condition and the m ethod of treatment I would suggest would be simple method of di1ation by means of rectal dilators. It is an absolute fact that hemorrhoids C@AhoA eAlst WIlen lnS SphAhCIef AAAA is elastic and easily dilatable. In the face of such self-evident facts how absurd it is to attempt to cure this trouble without dilat1on. There is, however, additional treatment requir- ed in a condition off such long stand ing yours, for the purpose of over coming the pain in the back, which is undoubtedly a reflex pain from the anal trouble.

ans or,tates. narcotics and whiskey is no longer a one man fight. Many able medical men in all parts Of the country are constantly supplying well written articles to the weekly and daily papers of the cities and in their own local papers, teaching the laity how to avoid disease. In many states the laws regulating the sale Of drugs have been so fully carried. out that many makers of vicious and habit forming medicines, have been put out of business. One most excellent law that, is in, force in some states re- auires that every proprietary medi- cine shall be registered and the rem edies used shall be stated in plain English terms, whereupon a eerttt1- cate authorizing the sale is issued. By this simple plan one may easily learn the real value of any remedy offered for the home treatment Of ail- rnents, when sold in those states.
 About a score of years ago I gave, in the Home Health Club lectures a series of talks on the Medicinal Plants of America and others. Those that saved the lectures or procured them later in book form, can readily learn the help or harm that may be had by the use of various proprietary rem edies. The formulas for making var io4ls herb remedies and how to use them is thus known to many of you and it is not necessary to run to the drug store and buy highly advertised remedies put up under secret formu las.
 Buy knowledge and then live up to what you learn and you will thus be your own doctor. Don't try to buy health in a bottle, the contents of which are known only to the rich ad- vertiser The simple, o1d-fas1lioned, herb remedies are safe and good. If you cannot get them ready made ac-

Dear Doctor: 1 am greatly 1I1 need of your advice as have been troubled with bleeding piles for nine years and often they cause a great pain ana what is almost worse very, achy ana tired feeling. which units me for my daily work I consulted a. doctor some years ago, but got no relief and have since tried quite a number of renle- dies. I am told that an operation is the only cure. I am not consti- pated, sometimes quite the reverse and have been careful with regard to diet. The last two years, have had another trouble, especially during winter. About B. or 4 o'clock in the morning my back begins to ache, par ticu1arly if I should lie on my left side, and instead of feeling refreshed feel. quite jaded when it is time to arise.a After I have been up for one or two hours it usually leaves me. cannot account for it and have wondered if it was connected with the piles in any way. l have not a weak back and am fairly strong, but these two troubles threaten to hinder my usefulness and make life bur den. I shall be very grateful for any help.

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 ad-
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 ad-
vertisement in the personal column
of the Herald Mr.. Gibbons read it.
William 7. 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 to
him, his sister and his two brothers.

ROad-Makiug Demonstration.

On July goth, road-making
demonstration will be held at
Bedford, to which you are invi-
ted. According to letters to this
office from A. B, Ross, a piece of
bad road, the like of which it is
seldom ones privilege to see,
will be quickly made over into a
good road by the use of a newly
invented machine. Mr.. Ross in
sists that the cost per mile by
the new way will not be more
than the average tax per mile
levied each year, and all done
while you watch. Mr.. Ross fur
ther states "the cheapest things
in the world are advice and criti-
cism; they cost nothing and usu-
ally that is what they are worth.
The supervisor gets a lot of that
cheap sort of contribution.
Now is the chance for the
voter and the supervisor alike to
get accurate knowledge; to see
how to construct roads that will
stand up and how to do it for the
least money. If you come your
advice to the supervisor will no
longer be inexperienced or cheap
it will be based on what you have
seen and understood" "
We would like to see the work
of this wonderful machine de-
monstrated over some of Fulton
county's gullies. Please show US

NOrkmen TO Patrol Roads.

Beginning August 1st, one
hundred and ninety men will be
placed at work as patrolmen on
the State Highways to constant
ly keep them in repair. These
men will be distributed through
out forty-six counties. Each man
will be given piece of road to
keep in repairs, the length of his
section depends on the character
of the road, six miles being the
limit. Each man will be equipped
with shovels, pick, pushbrush,
wheelbarrow, &c. Piles of fine
ly broken stones and barrels of
asphalt will be placed along the
road at short intervals with
which to make repairs as soon as
discovered. By a system of su-
perintendency the men will be
required to make good" or be
dismissed. Under the present
system it is costing over $500, 900
a year to keep up the roads; but
by the patrol system it is figured
that S120,000 will cover the cost
"a big saving to the State, to say
nothing of the doing away with
the annoyance caused travellers
by their having to jolt over bad
places for months until somebody
finds time to repair them. "A
stitch in time saves nine" is true
of the work of keeping up roads.

Enqllshmen lnterned by Napoleon
Passed the Time In Character

An important center OF action IN
the present war, Verdun, was a Ia
miliar name to Englishmen 100
years ago. In it were interned the
most important of those who were
caught on the continent when the
peace of Amiens came Unexpectedly
TO an end in 1903. From then until
Waterloo the French town had a
British colony numbering about 500,
who, with dinners and dances,
steeplechasing and cock fighting, re-
produced as well as they could the
conditions of life. at home. There
we're five exclusive English clubs, and
even a pack of barriers.
They gambled for very high stakes.
It was estimated that during his stay
at Verdun Lord Blayney lost at cards
something like $25O,OOO a year. That
nobleman exhibited to the last the
national insouciance. When peace
permitted his return from exile he
travelled leisurely to Boulogne, and
then suddenly decided to go back 70

so as, he said, to be able to bathe and
fish in the Meuse and have a pleas
ant retreat whenever he felt inclined

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 successful cam
paign.
The water supply of a camp is a
matter of great Importance, the Sci
entifc 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 to
twenty-five gallons per minute. If
water lies very near the surface a
hole is dug and cask, the bottom of
which has been knocked out, is placed
in the hole to form a basin. If the
water lies at a greater depth the ba-
sin may be formed of box sections,
driven in one on top of the other.
