women shall marry soldiers to bring forth
more children as future food for cannon.
Rather than this, she kills herself when
her impassioned plea to the king fails to
touch a responsive chord. It is the most
terrific arraignment Of the awful waste Of
war that could be conceived; It conveys
the message Of a million mothers, and
points toward an ideal which perhaps only
woman can bring to pass-the end Of war

Your Dreams and Your Health.

Scientific dream interpretation helps us to see ourselves as we really are, gives us intimate glimpses of the sub conscious as well as conscious desires, fears and modes of thinking that enter into the making of our character and the shaping of our conduct.
 The compilers of the gaudy little pa per-covered dream books once so much in vogue went, rightly enough, on the theory that dreams are symbolic But they erred by assuming that they are always symbolic of future events, and that any particular dream element can arlSySee 5rSers that Paul shfdi as symbolic of the S; h, 14lhse event.
 Whose wl., .nodern science to provide them wftf a dream manual akin to the old dream books, so that everyone may become his own inter- preter at a glance, are consequently doomed to disappointment. Accurate dream interpretation almost always means time and effort. But it is well worth the trouble it costs. All who would discover unSuSpected weak nesses and defects in themselves, who would gain a maximum of health, hap piness and efficiency through right liv- ing, will do well to seek to have their dreams analysed.
 And it is not only for the light it throws on One's nature and character that scientific dream interpretation is worth while. There are dreams which, rightly interpreted, throw light on the state of the dreamer's physical health, sometimes enabling action to be taken that will avert serious disease. There also are dreams which give valuable in- formation regarding people of the dreamers acquaintance. There are other exceptional" dreams, needlessly looked upon with superstitious awe by many persons.-Mother's Magazine.

PROFITABLE TO PRODUCE HAY
set sH eTfs Faff Tier Gan Raise Feed for S1o to $15 Per Ton-Why Pay
 Northerner Bigger Price?

Folks like bargains. If they can buy at cost they will often go to town and load up with things they do not need just because they are cheap. If the merchant placards his goods at cost he has no trouble in selling his stock and great many farmers take advantage of the great sacrifice that must be made in, 30 days"
 It is funny that there are so many who never think of selling themselves something at cost. Take hay for in stance. Suppose that northern hay is selling for $20 ton. Suppose again that the Florida farmer can produce q ton of hay for $10 to S15. He could sell himself that hay at cost and keep the difference, which he would have to pay for northern hay, in his pocket. That five or ten dollars is worth say ing. It is probable also that the profit would be greater since the price of northern hay is usually higher than S20 and hay probably can be produced in Florida cheaper than $1O a ton.- Florida Experiment Station.

Americans Like Noise.

Of all things which Americans de- test, quiet comes first. Take as a proof this matter of pianos and talk ing machines.
 Every workday there now comes from American factories an even 1000 pianos and about 1900 talking ma chimes. You will notice that the piano has not been entirely silenced by me chanical music.
 Indeed the value of pianos made daily in our country is three and one- half times as great as the value of phonographs, but the number of pia- nos now turned out is smaller than it was five years ago, while the number of it's great rival has increased by half.
 Uncle Sam tells us that two years ago we paid $15,000000 for talking ma chimes and $1,000,000 for the records which they played. No wonder talking machine stock is quoted at about $1, 100 share and stockholders bank upon dividends of S120 a share this year. Philadelphia Ledger.

ECHO OF TITANIC DISASTER
Researches of Ice Patrol Boats Have Exploded Many Theories Held
 in 1912.

After the loss of the giant White striking an iceberg, there was much dis cussion in Europe and America as to the possibility of adopting measures to lessen the likelihood of such disasters in the future, says P. T. McGrath in the American Review of Reviews. An international conference for the sav- ing of life at sea-" which was held at London, resulted, among other things, in an undertaking by the principal ma rine powers of the world to maintain an ice patrol on the north Atlantic from February to June in each year.
 It was agreed that this ice patrol should be carried out by the United States on behelf of the various coun- tries represented, the cost to be borne by them pro rata, Britain to pay p per cent of the total, Germany, France and the United States 15 per cent each and Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Holland, Norway, Russia and Sweden from 4 to ? per cent each.
 The American authorities inaugu- rated this patrol service with the naval scout cruisers Birmingham and CheS- ter but later assigned the revenue cut ters Seneca and Miami to this duty, which ships have since continued it. The first season St. Johns was chosen for the work, but ultimately it was found more convenient to utilize Hali- fax, Nova Scotia, because the area patrolled was south of St. Johns and extended farther south as the season advanced and the armadas of icebergs became more numerous.
 A theory exploded by the ice pa- trol ships is that the proximity of ice is marked by notable lowering of air temperature. Experiments covering three years have proved that such is not the case, and that as a rule there is little or no change in the temper ature of the air near an iceberg. Equal ly fallacious is the idea that the pres ence of berg is denoted by lower- ing of the temperature of the water. As matter of fact the very contrary Is the case.
 Other theories, as that echoes indi- cate the presence of bergs, that ice discloses itself through what is known as the ''ice blink" and that submarine "ears" on ships will reveal the near ness of ice by it's peculiar motion through the waves have been proved equally unfounded. In truth, the tes- timony of the commanders of these pa trol ships is that the only safe way to navigate regions of icebergs is to stop | during thick weather and to run very | slowly on dark nights.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
swamp-Root, pr. Kilmer's Prescrip- tion. OyercomeS Kidney Trouole

It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attentioh as thev control the other organs to re- markable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system oy Altering the blood.
 The kidneys should receive some as- sistance when needed. We take less ex- ercise. 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, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kla, neys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. There is nothing else like 1t. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in prl- vate practice and it is sure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your druggist.

(By A. DOANE, Oklahoma Experiment
 Station.)
 Alfalfa seed is rarely ever grown commercially except in semiarid reg ions. It is difficult to grow this crop for seed in the humid sections. About half of the seed produced in the United States is grown on irrigated lands in regions of dry summers. Rain or mOis- ture from irrigation after the alfalfa plants are in bloom has tendency to stimulate new growth from the crown. This greatly reduces the yield. When seed crop is desired irrigation is withheld until the seed has been har- vested. Usually the second crop of alfal- ia is allowed to produce seed. However. in the Southwestern states the third crop is often preferred for seed, while in the Eastern and Northern states it is necessary that the first crops be used for seed production.
 Various factors affect the amount of seed that the alfalfa plants produce, such as thickness of stand, moisture supply and conditions favorable for tripping The heat of the sun often
