UNCLE JOSH'S FIRST THOUGHT
What Might Have Been Expected From Man of Intensely Practical
 Turn of Mind.

They were speaking about looking on the practical side of things, and this incident was recalled:
 One afternoon late in the fall Uncle Josh was slowly driving toward the town when an acquaintance excitedly rushed out to the road and hailed him.
 Say, Josh," he exclaimed in a pal pitating voice, have ye heard the news?"
 No, don't kalkerlate I have" re- sponded Uncle Josh, socially stopping his team. What kind O news is it?"

BIG YIELD FROM PURE SEED
Fairly Remunerative Business Interesting Figures.

Whether we use registered seed. good grade seed or poor seed the cost of production is the same, but the re- turns are different. Why not, then, use the seed which will give us the greatest profits?
 If proper cultural methods are prac- ticed and good registered seed sown, there should be no difficulty in secur- ing yields of sixty-ive bushels of oats per acre. and in some cases a much higher yield may be secured under favorable conditions. This grain should give at least sixty per cent marketable seed depending of course on the season. The price received for the best seed varies somewhat depend ing upon supply and demand; perhaps 90 cents per bushel would be fair average price. Some growers, how ever, receive SIPS per bushel for small lots of choice seed oatsS At these fig ures, then, we would have 39 bushels of seed oats, and 26 bushels of feeding oats in addition to the straw from one acre. Or to state the case more con cretely the feeding oats and the straw would almost pay the total cost of pro- duction, including interest on the valu- ation of the land. The 39 bushels of seed should give a return of $50 to $40. If the total yield of 65 bushels was sold for feeding purposes it would realize not more than s26. With poor seed there would not have been 65 bushels to sell. Thus it is quite evil dent that seed growing is a fairly re- munerative business.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right with the system full
 Of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath?' you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonfui of lime stone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It is in- tended to flush the stomach. liver, kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which, if not eliminated every day become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious at- tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble. kidney misery, sleep, lessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments
 
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to ob- tain quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or store keeper. This will cost very little but is suffl cient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sani- tation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening. so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast ly more important to bathe on the in, side than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities in- to the blood while the bowel pores do. Adv

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and ustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray: also ends dandruff. itching scalp and stops falling hair.

Support for Grape Vines.

A good way to support grape vines that have been set in row is with posts and smooth wire. Set posts very firm in the ground, about ten feet apart, on these posts fasten three smooth wires, fence fashion. and to these wires tie the grape branches with strips of goods of suf- fitient strength to hold the vines in place. After frost the branches should be well cut back.

 time required to accomplish this de- pending upon the kind of timber. Soft woods will be penetrated more readily and will absorb more creosote. When the posts are taken from the hot creo- sote they are placed in cold creosote bath and left there for several hours. The hot creosote causes the air in the wood to expand and forces out part of it. In the cold creosote the internal air contracts again. The par tial vacuum which is thus caused draws the preservative into the wood cells. The same effect may be pro duced by leaving the posts in the first creosote bath until the liquid has cooled. This, however, requires much more time, and if this method is en- ployed, only two patches of posts can be treated in day. Where there are two tanks, one for the hot and one for the cold cresote, the process may be carried On continuously.

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trou- ble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich.

For some reason or another it is impossible to keep
some politicians from breaking away from regular
parties They know and all the world knows that party
government is the best system of government devised by
the passing ages 1t would indeed be impossible to make
democratic government effective without parties. In
France up to few years ago dissatisfied members o. the
chamber of deputies were constantly breaking away from
the main parties and causing cabinets to fall until France
and its government became laughing stock throughout
Europe In great Britain governments became stable be-
cause third parties were froed upon and in the United
States the law that left President i'm power for four
years whether ne had majority in congress or not also
conduced to stability especially his cabinet was nam
ed by himself Of course all nations have several parties
but the ones which have some fixed policy are iuSthabe
The ones that merely aim at smashing another without
having any definite platform of their own IS like the
eleventh man in the jury Such the party started by
Theodore Roosevelt and such were the local cQueS which

 Drugs Cost More.
 A winsted druggist has received some interesting quotations on the price of drugs which have gone tfsky high" as a result of the war. Some of the increases noted are: Salycilio acid, from 26 cents to $4.25 a. pound i; sa1oI from $1.25 to $1ONa pound; cas- tor oil. 231 per cent; carbolic acid, from 60 cents to 800 per cent. Whole salers are said to be cutting down on the amount of drugs allowed retail merchants; for instance, where a druggist formerly bought from one to five pound lots, he is now restricted to quarter and ha,lf-pound lots.
