What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy--
sis of the patients urine. He knowc that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs. q
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence OF this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes-50c and $l0O.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

ALLIES HALTED BY BULGARS
Teutonic Forces Hold Road to Monas-
tir Against Advance Of Foe on
Macedonian Front.

London, Sept. 30.ASerbian and
French dispatches make evident that
the Bulgarians are holding the road
to MOnastir against the advance of
the entente allies on the western Mace
dOnian front
Six desperate cOunter-attacks were
made by the Bulgars on the entente
left within the last fOrty-eight hours.
All were repulsed with serious loss to
the enemy and to the troops of Cen
eral Samail.
According to the Berlin official state
ment, the battle in the vicinity of
HernannStadt on the TranSylvanian
front continues. The German report
reiterates claims of success for the
TeutOnic forces.
The Berlin report concludes:
"Our aviatOrs again dropped a
great number of bombs on Bucharest,
which still was burning at several
points as the result of our previous
attacks"

SPREAD OF BLIGHT
IN FRUIT ORCHARD
Remove and Burn Every TWig or
Branch on Which Disease Has
Appeared-Care for Tools.

Every twig or branch on which fire
blight has appeared should be removed
to prevent the spread of the disease
through the orchard. 1t is first no.
ticed by the flow of gumlike fluid
from the bark. Fire blight usually
passes the winter in pear trees but it
may also live in Jonathan, Ingram,
Yellow Transparent, and siIilar ap-
pie trees. Pear trees showing blight
scars or cankers should be very care
fully examined. Blisters from under
the bark and from these the liquid
flows out and is carried by bees and
insects to other trees ara thus tie
disease is spread. AS soon as this Gis-
ease is noticed the diseased parts
should be cut and burned Immediately
and the pruning tools disinfected by
dipping them in a l to 1000 solution
of corrosive sublimate, so that the dis
ease may not be carried from tree to
tree in this way.

More than hundred villa followers

by General TTevinO from Gen. MatiaS

wounded.
General Ramos had left Chihuahua

Tabloid AeropIanes.

The British reason, quite logically,
that the smaller the aerOplane and the
faster it can fly the less danger Of its
being hit by shots fired from earth.
SO the British airmen favor an unusu-
ally small machine, which they call
the tabloid" A very light frame is
fitted with an 80-horse power motor,
which will drive the fraIl machine
through the air at the rate Of 100
miles an hour. The engine is covered
with armOr. The aviator seeking to
drop bomb on the enemy approaches
his target at a height Of 5000 feet.
When straight above it he turns the
nose of his machine straight down and
drops at terrific speed. When within
500 feet Of the target he drops his
bombs as quickly as possible and then
shoots skyward at a tremendous pace.

START MULBERRIES
BY USING CUTTINGS
Slips Should Be Made in Late
Fall When Wood Has Been
Thoroughly Ripened.

MuIberries are best propagated by
using mature cutting. These cuttings
should be made in the late fall after
the wood has been thoroughly ripened,
and tied in bundles of about 25 and
stored in slightly moistened sand over
the winter, so that the cuts will cal
lus over during the winter. In making
the cuttings a little Of the preceding
seasons wood, or at least part Of the
rldged union between the two sea-
sons growth should be included. The
reason for this is that the rootlets
start from that part more easily and
plentlfully and thus better results are
assured. In the spring as soon as the
ground is tilIable, the cuttings should
be set out in rows so that two or
three buds are above the ground and
the rest below. The cuttings start
best under glass. Some nurserymen
propagate by short cuttings, starting
them indoors in February or March.
Mulberries are also propagated by
1VOI cAlhAAdA " way SAAS
apple is often grated. The cheap Rus
sian mulberry roots are used as stocks
for grating the named sorts on.
Spring cion budding is also used to
some extent. The cion contains two
buds, is cut only on one side and is
inserted under the bark as in the case
of regular budding. The cion is held
in place by a string until united to
the wood.
Grating would be the only way that
you could change a nubbin bearing
mulberry tree to one bearing large
fruit. Unless the tree was small it
would be doubtful If it would pay to
do that. This top grating should be
carried on an the same manner as top
grating apples.

1t is we'll to plan u system of caring for

Most of our publications these days

they can be used at once.
Some women do their work three

and in retrOspectiOn. 1t is wise to
plan work well, but after it is done let
1t be done and improve on the next
piece Of work If possible. Men as
rule are not nervous and unstrung /;
more women than men break down
with nerves. One reason is that u
woman's work has more of small de-
tails, she is often called on in emer-

wonder how many people realize
that it is the work they don't do that
wears on the nerves. One may by con-
stant application train the mind to let
go when it is time to rest, not turn
things over all night with tired un-
strung mind and body, making new
day torture.
1t takes much more ability to inspire
and get work out of others than to
be great worker oneself. The first
is commander, the other, one in the
ranks. Cultivate the ability Of getting
work out of others, especially the
young people. They need the train
ing and you need the help. Young
children will work happily with COM
pany, but cannot be expected at first
to take tasks alone and enjoy doing
them.

calm, and said:

might be put up for winter use that
are never thought of. One frugal wOm-
an after putting up alI the blueberries
she felt that she could afford, washed
and dried a bushel. These when soak
ed in water and sweetened make most
delicious pies and sauce and have kept
perfectly four years or as long as they
are not used. 1t is necessary to care
fully dry them and put them into pa
per sacks OF bags that are dust and
insect proof.
Wild grapes are the greatest of
roadside prizes and many are the ways
they may be preserved for thu winter
table.
For green grape jam, pick thy grapes
Just before they begin to turn. Halve
and seed them if you want a delicious
conserve and mix equal parts Of sugar
when cooking. A few pint Jars Of
these will so delight your friends that
you will forget the labor of preparing
them. For jelly. wait until they are
beginning to turn, then you will lave
a most beautiful color. If too ripe
the jelly Is not nearly as good In color
and may lack the pectin found in the
greener grapes.
Spiced grapes make another way Of
varying this delicious fruit; use this
when you are serving venisOn, and be
thankful for such favOrs.
When everything else has been done
with grapes that you can think of, put
up few bushels in the form Of grape
Juice. No more delicious drink can be
offered the parched and tired traveller
than glass of grape juice with tin
king Ice.
The elderberry is another fruit that
need not be overlooked. Make Il pie
and add bit of vinegar or few green
grapes to the pie to give it zest and
you will surely make another very
soon.
