Cardui Wins Suit.

After Il trial in the United States
District Court of Chicago, before Judge
Carpenter and federal jury, the jury
found the American Medical Associa-
ton guilty of libeling Cardui, the wom-
ans tonic, which they had denounced
as Il ''nOstrum."
This is vindication of the medicine
and a proof that it has merit, which
was recognized by jury after trial
of three months, one of the longest
civil cases on record.
Many doctors and chemists testified
on both sides and The evidence tOtaled
nearly four million words.

Easy to Trim Handkerchief.

Everyone likes to use dainty and
good-1ooking handkerchiefs, but they
cannot be bought cheaply, and often
are beyond the purse. Cheaply
trimmed handkerchiefs are in very bad
taste, and it is far better to use sim
pie ones than resort to them.
However. with little trouble every
girl could make herself collection OF
nice handkerchiefS at about half the
cost of buying them.
White sales should be watched for

KILLDEER
tOxyechus vociferus)

Length, ten inches. Distinguished
by it's piercing and oft-repeated cry
kildee.
Range: Breeds throughout the Unit
ed States and most of Canada; win
tiers from central United States to
South America. 10
Habits and economic status: The
killdeer is one of the best known of
the shorebird family 1t often visits
the farmyard and commonly nests in
pastures or cornfields. 1t is rather
suspicious, however, and on being ap-
preached takes flight with loud cries.
1t is noisy and restless, but fortunate
ly most of it's activities result in
benefit to man The food is of the
same general nature as that Of the
upland plover, but is more varied The
killdeer feeds upon beetles, grasshop-
pers, caterpillars, ants, bugs, caddis
flies, dragonfies, centipedes, spiders,
ticks, oyster worms, ~earthworms,
snails, crabs and other c~rustacea.
Among the beetles consumed are such
pests as the alfalfa weevil, cotton-boll
weevil, clover-root weevil, cloverleaf
weevil, pine weevil, billbugs, white
grubs, wireworms, and leaf beetles.
The bird also devours Gotten worms,
cotton cutworms, ~horseflies, mosqui-
toes, cattle ticks, and crawfish. One
stomach contained hundreds Of larvae
of the saltmarsh mosquito, n of the
most troublesome species. The kill
deer preys extensively upon insects
that are annoying to man and injuri-
u to his stock and crops, and this
should be enough to remove it from
the list of game birds and insure its
protection

CITIZENS.

The local Board of Health desires
to call the attention of those occupy
ing homes within the city of Pleas
a~ntville that now is a good time to
attend to matters of cleanliness before
the advent of hot weather. Cess
pools are each year becoming more
numerous and require more attention.
The cesspools that receive from both
the toilet and the kitchen should have
the most strict attention. Owners
and tenants are requested to examine
now their condition and have those
emptied that are likely to become filled
later in hot weather and not wait for
them to overflow. After having the
cesspool emptied of all the contents. a
pint or quart of coal oil should be put
therein. This can be easily done by
pulling the hopper of the toilet in the
bath room and while the water is flow
ing pour the oil on the flowing water
and it will be carried down to the
cesspool. 1t will form a film of oil on
the top and prevent breeding of mos
quitoes and flies, etc. Those Who have
kitchen sinks and a cesspool for kitch-
en- waste IAN use the oil by pouring it
in the basin and let the water run
from spigot.
Those who have open outside toilets
should now remove contents and deep
ly bury same. A light covering of
air Stacked lime before covering with
sand will prevent fly breeding. A lit
tie lime sprinkled in the closet at fire.
quent intervals will promote SANTA
ton and prevent fly breeding. Sta
BILE m bins should be emptied
and air Stacked lime freely used as
this is the most prolific source of
house fly breeding. The oil and the
lime are not costly, but lack of at
tention through thoughtlessness often
is. If every one under the conditions
named would go to the small amount
of labor and cost, the city could be
practically freed from flies and the
house mosquito. Both of these insects
are disease-carrying and discomfort
producing filthy pests. By giving the
attention above requested, such dis
eases as typhoid fever may be pre-
vented in your own family and Infan-
tile spinal (child) paralysis may be
guarded against and your little child
may be saved from being a lifelong
cripple, as both of these are carried
and transmitted by the common house
fly.
Each property owner or tenant may
empty or clean the cesspools, provid-
ed there is a suitable location (not
near wells) for burying contents.
Otherwise there are licensed cleaners
who will attend to the matter.
This is a request of the local Board
and they wish it given your attention
for your own benefit and the benefit
of the city at large.

Pleasantville,

ries were imposters, working upon the
credulity of the people. The populace
was ready for just such leading in the
reverse direction. AS a result, st. Paul
was stoned, and dragged outside of
the city, where he was left for dead.
AS the disciples stood about the Apos-
ties PROSTATE form, s%upposing that he
was dead, he arose and returned to the
city. We are not to suppose that all
of the citizens Joined the mob which
stoned him, although there must have
been general sympathy IN the part of
che majority. The next day the mis-
eionaries went to Derbe, a distance of
thirty-fve miles. This implies that the
Lord wrought a miracle in Paul, that
he might continue his journey.

Length, ten inches. Most easily dis
tinguished from the similarly colored
loggerhead shrike by the absence of a
conspicuous black stripe through the
eye.
Range: Resident from southern
Mexico north to California, Wyoming,
Iowa, Ohio and Maryland; casual far
Their north.
Habits and economic status: Be-
cause of Its incompatible medleys and
initiative powers, the hooking bird Is
the most renowned singer Of the west
ern hemisphere. Even in confinement
1t is a mastery performer, and former
iy thousands were trapped and sold
for cage birds, but this reprehensible
practice has been largely stopped by
protective laws. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that the hooking bird
should receive protection principally
because of its ability as a songster
and it's preference for the vicinity Of
dwellings. Its place in the affections
of the South Is similar to that occu-
pied by the robin in the North. 1t is
well that this is true, for the bird ap-
pears not to earn protection from a
strictly economic standpoint. About
half Of its diet consists of fruit, and
many cultivated varieties are at
tackled, such as oranges, grapes, figs,
strawberries, blackberries, and rasp-
berries. Somewhat less than a fourth
of the food is animal matter, and
grasshoppers are the largest single ele-
ment. The bird is fond of cotton
worms, and is known to feed also IN
the chinch bug, rice weevil, and boil
worm. 1t is unfortunate that it does
not feed on injurious insects to IN ex-
tent sufficient to offset its depreda-
lions on fruit.

them to the best of his ability. They
rewarded him by turning his hut into
a gorgeous temple, and punished the
others with a flood. This tradition was
perpetuated by a statue of Jupiter at
the city gate as its protecting god.
1t is easy to discern how a compare
lively ignorant and superstitious peo-
pie might jump to the conclusion that
the visit of the missionaries was a
repetition Of this visit of Jupiter and
Mercury, handed down through tradi-
ton. They called st. Paul Mercury,
because in their tradition Mercury was
the speaker; and Barnabas they called
Jupiter. Forthwith the priest of Ju-
piter prepared to offer a sacrifice of
oxen before the statue of Jupiter, at
the city gate, In honor of the supposed
gods present with them a. men.
