TO do with the proposition laid

Congress. The proof Of this Is

It was asked to do, and which
It did do."-Mr. Hughes In His

The shaving on one side only OF the
heads and boards of prisoners OF wal
was obviously done to prevent any at

other motives for such half shaving
which occurs at all sorts OF points In
history. Sometimes the act has been
pure insult. as when Hanun, king OF
the children Of Ammon, shaved on
half of the boards Of David's servants
In these days the victims would have
mended matters by shaving the othel

his kidneys for eight years before he
finally used Foley Kidney Pills. he

Foley Kidney Pills were recommended
to me. and the first box removed the
pain and after taking only three
boxes the bloating was all gone and
has never bothered me since"
Just about everybody who has used
Foley Kidney Pills Is anxious to
recommend them. From every state
In the Union come letters praising
Foley Kidney Pills, because they so
tone up and strengthen the kidneys
that by their vigorous. healthy action
all the i'll results of sore, weak, ALL

Just q Lemon.

Everybody can tell us many uses fol
the juice of the lemon, but every one
can not tell much about the rind. Well
here is hint.
Save all rinds, in using lemons, and
when dish towels or any white articles
become dingy, drop several pieces IL
with the clothes when they are scalded
or boiled, and you will surely be sur
prised at the result; they are finely
bleached.
When making hot or cold lemonade,
always use the skins, washed very clean,

Bird. m Lamps.

The natives Of Trinidad make use OF
the young guacharo IN an unusual man
ner. The young are very fat and are
frequently found to weigh more than
the full grown birds. Their fat Is used
by the natives to produce an oil which
Is a substitute for butter. Also 1t is
frequently the custom Of the natives
to draw wick through the body OF a
young guacharO and use 1t as a lamp
or candle. Thus the guacharo Is some
times called the OIL bird.

4 YEAR OF IMPROVEMENTS.

The year 1915 was one of the best
ever known for farm improvements.
Journals who keep track of approx
mately the amount of money spent FOR
such things tell us that our soil
tillers were liberal spenders for lum-
Der, hardware, fencing material, drain
pipes, brick and cement.
This being the case, it will be inter
esting to watch for the statistics of
this year on the subject. Last year
bumper" crops were reported from
all over the nation; this year they are
not SO "bumper,' due to untoward
weather conditions.
Farmers of Arkansas should not
allow one ordinary year to interfere
with their zeal to improve their pro-
pertiss. And there is no evidence that
they are going to do so. They can
very we'll be carried on from last
years surplus, if necessary.
