OF all overworked women probably the
farmers wife is the hardest worked. She
has so much to attend to, with very little
help. Her work can be lightened II she
knows the value of system and she should
try and take a short rest IN the daytime.
A physician who became famous almost
around the world, Doctor Pierce, OF
Buffalo, n. Y, the specialist on woman.s
diseases. for many years practlced med
icine in a farming district in Pennsyl-
vania. He there observed the lack OF
system in the planning of the work.
If it is 2, headache, backache, SEN
sation g irritability or twitching and
uncon. ,oI bble nervousness, something
must be wrong with the head or back,
woman naturally says, but all the time
the real tr0able very often centers in the
womanly organs. In nine cases out OF
ten the seat of ne difficulty is here, and
woman should take rational treatment
for its cure. The local disorder and IN
fammation should be treated steadily
and Systematically with DR.. Plerce's ta-
vorite Prescription.
For all diseases peculiar to woman,
eFavOriSe Prescription Is a powerful res
toratiye. During the last fifty years it has
banished from the lives of tens of thouS-
ands of women the pain, worry, misery
and distress caused by Irregularities and

GIANT PUMPKINS RAISED
BY TOOMSBORO FARMER
Six Feet in Circumference Now and
Have Three Months to Grow.

TOOMSBORO, GAG. W. Web
ster, who lives about two miles from
Toomsboro, has some pumpkins that
are really "some punkins" Two of
these pumpkins, which have only
been on the vines six weeks, are es-
timated to weigh $50 pounds each
and measure six feet in circumfer-
ence. The bloom has only recently
fallen from them, and as they will
have at least three months longer to
grow it is thought they will weigh
800 pounds when grown, and will
probably measure well over ten feet
in circumference.
Mr.. Webster's other crops are also
very fine, and will compare favorably
with any to be found in the state.
He attributes his success to the fact
that he doesn't plant too much to the
plow, and keeps it well worked at all
times.

BILLS DESIGNED
TO HELP FARMERS
Appropriation of $65O,OO0 to Fight
Weevil and 1872, 900 For the
Office of Markets.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The agricultural
appropriation bill now before the
United States senate contains sew
eral items that will be helpful to
Georgia farmers, and members of the
legislature now in session here are
watching the progress of the bill
with with great interest. One is an
appropriation of $650,000 to fight
the cotton boil weevil, and another
appropriation of $650,000 to fight
the work of the office of markets and
rural organization.
The work of this division includes
additional study of cotton grading,
and also the problem of baling to
save the loss of tare. 1t carries spe-
cial appropriation for cooperation
with the states to help bring the pro
Queer of food crops, including fruits,
closer to consumers.
1t will be remembered that the
creation of the markets division was
the direct work of Georgians. 1t
was suggested to Senator Smith by
committee of Georgians headed by
Hon. R. F. Duckworth, at the time
chairman of committee of the Far
mers' Union. Senator Smith prepar-
ed the bill creating the division of
markets, and after two years of per-
sistent effort secured its passage.
The bill also carries an appropria-
ton to continue the study of naval
stores problems placed in the bill by
Senator Smith.

BIG DRIVE OF BRITISH
LAST WORD IN WARFARE
SOME OF THE THINGS THE. AL
LIED ARMIES DID AS PRELIM-
MARY PREPARATIONS.

The British-French offensive In
France is described by the military
experts in that theatre of operations
as the "last word in scientific war
fare"
Here are some of the things the
British and French did as prelimi-
nary to their drive through the Ger
man front near the Somme:
Built 5000 miles of railroads to
facilitate moving the munitions and
troops and handling the wounded.
Put a metal surface on all the
turnpikes.
Rebuilt or strengthened every
bridge and railroad.
Concentrated 100000 fighting
men, backed by 100000 auxiliary
workmen, doctors, bridge and rail-
road builders.
Filled the whole region with hid
den guns of the largest calibre, many
of them 15-inch mortars, and mann
ed these guns with French artillery
experts.
Installed all over the region new
phone system with concrete poles,
augmented by a network of tele-
graph wires and stations and field
hospitals.
Buried ammunition everywhere,
together with medicines and food
supplies, so that, no matter where
the troops moved, in an emergency
they would have shells and food
without the trouble and delay of or
binary modes of transportation.
Concealed from the Germans the
massing of the allied troops back OF
the front. :
Arranged the big guns in arcs in
such way as to provide concentric
fire from many guns on small areas
of the German trenches.
In the preliminary five-day bonn
bardment the British-French army
fired 100000 shells over a ninety
mile front.

PASSED BY HOUSE
Emergency Measure Puts Levy on
Inheritance and Munitions.
Doubles Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Without
any fundamental change the demo
Gratis have put through the house
their emergency revenue bill by a
vote of 240 to 40. Forty-one mi
nority members, thirty-nine repub-
licans, one socialist and one indie
pendent, voted for the bill.

more than S2OO,000,000 a year, vir-
tually doubles the income tax rates,
levies a tax on inheritances and the
production of munitions of war, Gre
ates a tariff commission, embodies
anti-dumping legislation, and repeats
the "stamp tax" sections, but not
the special excise taxes of the war
revenue bill" of October, 1914.
Bankers are taxed under the cor
poration law. The old war revenue
tax of 81 on each 81 900 of working
capital or surplus was eliminated.
Munition makers are taxed from 8
to 8 per cent on gross output. Cigar
cites are taxed 8 cents per 10000.

net estates of $4,000 to $150,00O
to 5 per cent on all estates above
$3.50. 900.

PAY OF MILLIONAIRE
DOG CATCHER RAISED
SPENDS DOUBLE HER SALARY
CATCHING AND CARING FOR
HOMELESS CANNES.

Miss Leonore Cawker, of Milwau.
kee, whose wealth is placed at ST.
OOO,O 900, has received a raise in pay
from the city. She is to get $1,000
next year for being the city's dog
catcher. Last year she received $500
THE laborer is worth part of her
hire" is Miss Cawker's version of
the old proverb, and she added: st
costs me about $4,000 year to do
my work of catching and caring for
tn ecity's homeless dogs and cats"
For ten years Miss Cawker has
been doing this work, more or less
officially. Last year was her first as
the city's official dog catcher.
Before that she cared for homeless
pups and kittens unoficially, and
when she was disguised with the
methods used by the city police in
killing strays she announced in an
advertisement three years ago that
she would guarantee painless death
to animals which must be disposed of.
A year ago she received an official
commission.
Out of her salary of $500 she look
ed after the departmental affairs her
self, hired three men and ran an au-
tomobile for collecting animals which
were to be disposed Of
/ She furnished part Of her stables
on the upper west side, in an aristo-
cratic neighborhood, as a kennel, and
there was an asphyXiating room in
which animals sentenced to the last
sleep might be put away without any
pain.
Eleven years ago there was city
/ dog pound, open for all to see. II
was nauseating place. By means
of ice picks three men killed the dogs
which were to be disposed of.
When Miss Cawker saw a newspa-
per notice that the city council was
to erect a fence about the dog pound
to prevent children tormenting the
dogs as they lay on the ground suf-
fering their last agonies she started
to improve conditions.
With no prospect of civic encour-
| agement, with no encouragement
from any influential source, Miss
Cawker, with stout heart and firm
purpose, pushed the movement fol-
the humane treatment of dogs and
other animals. AS result of her eff
forts she has for ten years had nc
epidemics and few cases of stray dog
nuisances.
Since she has taken up the animal
problem she has expended 100000 in
a practical application of her ideals.
Miss Cawker's spacious stables af-
ford room for other animals thar
dogs. Sometimes when the owner OF
a horse is arrested for abuse of the
animal it is sent to her stable to be
put in condition again or to await
court action on the owner or driver
At one time in her stables anc
kennels all sorts of pets can be
found, one recent day seeing dogs
cats, horses, parrots, an owl, wilc
turkey, pigeons and rabbits in the
same stable at one time in different
cages.
Last year she and her men handled
5000 dogs alone.

do not last long on a Kansas wheat
farm. The farmer boys of Iowa, IL

Kansas in former years and the en-
ployes of big factories which laid off
men during the summer dull season
are all missing this year.

it was announced that wages would

Kansas are offering So a day and

P. j. Mcbride, Kansas state labor
commissioner, and the government
free employment officials obtain
ed from the farmers in the big
wheat counties an estimate of the
actual number of men in those coun-
ties and how many more would be
needed to harvest the wheat. When
the reports were compiled it was
shown that more than 100000 men
and 5000 teams would be needed,
besides those already in the counties.
But state and federal agencies have
been unable to muster the hands.
Kansas has 7,75O,OOO acres of
wheat and about 100000 acres of
oats to cut in the next three weeks.
