Very Useful.

Joplin, Mo-, Sept, a8.-Mrs En-
ma Coffman. known in this city az

of Tanlac, the new medicine, and
heartily indorses it. She said:
For a number of years I have
suffered from stomach trouble
My digestion was very poor. Gas
formed in my stomach after had
eaten I suffered from severe
headaches and was completely
worn out most of the time. The
least noise or anything unusual
would cause me to become extreme
ly nervous and my heart would
f1utter.
"Tanlac has done me more good
than all the other medicines l tried
combined, This is the first time I
ever recommended a proprietary
medicine but l would be indeed I'm.
grateful not to recommend Tanlac
after the relief it gave me. Tanlac
really is very unusual medicine
and will do any man or woman
good"

especially beneficial for stomach,

complaints, rheumatism. nervous
ness. loss of appetite and the like
and is a fine blood purifier.

Still Time 10 Build Silo.

If you don't get crop of grain,
save your corn forage by placing
it in silos. II you haven't silo.
there 10 still time to construct one
If you get busy at once.
Corn prospects in many parts of
the state are not bright. In fact,
in some districts injury to the crop
is beyond repair.
1t is we'll known that when the
development of the grain is checked
but the forage natures normally,
the stalk of the corn plant contains
greater amount of food nutrients
than when large ear is produced.
Many farmers in the middle
section of the state found that the
heavy forage but light grain of the
crop of 1914 made the choicest of
silage and proved a valuable crop
when SO handled. Even in 1913
when there was no grain and the
forage was small and of inferior
quality, the silo proved to be the
salvation of many a stockman.
Hence, the man who has a silo, or
silos, ready for the present crop is
not worrying over the present pros
poets as is the man whose depend
ence is the grain. Ordinarily the
latter realizes on 50 to 90 per cent
of what he grows in good years and
much less IN poor years, while the
former realizes on nearly all the
crop all the time.
There is no question about the
value of the silo as an investment.
The farmers who have tried it are
unanimous in their verdict in its
favor and the bankers are ready to
back it with loans.
The important thing to remem'
Der is to get silo. and have it Of
as good material and workmanship
as possible, considering time anG
money available. Wood. stone
brick, tile, cement. steel, or any
other material that will hold water
keep out air. and have strength
enough to withstand the outward
pressure, will serve the purpose

IRISH NOT A POOR PEOPLE

1.-THE people of the United States

This Is far from the fact. There are

there are beggars. professional mendi-

Yucatan's Water cayerns.

Since Yucatan, where the Mayas
built their strange cities. is of coral
limestone formation, IT follows that II
would have been desert but for It's
subterranean rivers and the cenotes. or
water caverns. which give access to
them.
The Mayas noted the course Of the
underground streams and built their
towns round the cenotes. Many cenotes
are now found surrounded by ruins,
and give indications of the methods
employed by the Mayas to reach their
cool waters. In Uxmal cenote about
forty feet deep is inhabited by a pc
culiar species of fish. At Bolanchen
there is a cenote having five openings
in the rocks at the bottom OF the cav
ern. Ladders made by tying tree
trunks together lead down total dis
lance OF 1.400 feet. but the perpendicu-
lar depth from the surface to the water
Is not more than 500 feet.

Passing of Doe and Roe.

In the legal calendar the oath day
Of October is worthy of notice, as on
that day In 1852 two individuals,
though personally known to no one and
enjoying an extensive reputation among
lawyers, ceased to exist In England.
These persons were John Doe and
Richard Roe, and no two persons were
more frequently referred to In legal
documents. In every process of eject
ment instead of the real parties to the
suit being named, John Doe, plaintiff,
sued Richard Roe. defendant. Their
names were also inserted In criminal
proceedings. This fiction was intro
duced into English legal practice In the
time Of Edward III. In consequence,
1t was said, of provision In Magma
Charta which required the production
OF witnesses before every criminal trial
and henceforth, John Doe and Richard
Roe were inserted as the names Of the
alleged witnesses, a custom which was
carried across the Atlantic to this
country.

Lot of the Poor Peasants In
Roumania Is a Hard One

From time to time, since 1910, the
Roumanian government has divided
the land among the peasants. This
land, then, must remain In the family.
AS families increase. however, this
patrimony becomes less and less suffi-
cient for the clan, and there Is moth
ing left for some Of them to do but to
take service out. That is putting one
self In the hands Of the manor-lord or
his steward. The usual method is to
assign the peasant a section OF the
immortal lands. to be TILED by himself
and his family and oxen on "halves"
of the crop. Over 20 per cent of the
people are illiterate. however, owing
to laxity In the enforcement of the
compulsory school laws; and so 1t re-
quires no very great degree TO fleece
them out of their proper shares.
