TREATING ULCERS OF CORNEA
Touch All Parts of Sore With Stick of
Nitrate of Silver-Bathe With
Solution of Salt Water.

Ulcers of the cornea in calves may
be caused by several things, such as
bruises, assesses, or boards from fox
tail; or it may be the result of a Sc
we're attack of pink eye. You can tell
ulcers of the cornea from pink eye by
means of the discharge. Instead of
pus, you will find an acid, watery fluid.
If it should be ulcer of the cornea, or
ulcers formed by very violent cases
of the pink eye, the treatment is about
the same. Take a stick Of nitrate of
silver, sharpen as you would a pencil,
get an attendant to hold the head of
the calf, keeping the eyelids back, and
touch all parts of the ulcer lightly with
the stick of silver nitrate. Wait d few
minutes and battle eyes with a solu.
ton of salt water.
Repeat this operation in about three
days. Unless you have a distinct pro-
lection on the cornea of the eye, do
not use the caustic treatment. Battle
several times day with sulphate of
zinc, Is grains to half pint Of soft
water. Protect the eyes from flies,
sunlight, etc.

Night

Norman Bliss had come to River
dale with a happy, hopeful heart He
left it gloomy, disappointed and dis
couraged. Ringing in his ears were
words it seemed he never would for
get:
Il would not marry this country
lout, if he were the last man in the
world"
And Viola Tascott had spoken that
fatal sentence - peerless, beautiful
Viola, whom he had come to Riverdale
tC see, to woo, to wed, if she would
but say the word.
And now, driving his farm team
back to his lonely, lowly prairie home,
the brave stalwart young fellow
tiinched as he thought over the vivid
heart history of the past week.
He had lived in Plainfeld, fifty miles
across country from Riverdale, where
his father died. At the former town
Viola had come to visit a cousin, and
he had met her. They were quite COM
panionable, when old Mr.. Bliss died
suddenly. The family home and some
other property had been owned by
Mr.. Bliss and, of course, Norman
would inherit it. When the estate
came to be settled up, however, one
James Monks, a lawyer, seized the
same under a mortgage
Norman was amazed. Time and
again he remembered his father had
told him that the old mortgage on the
property had all been paid up. The
records, however, did not show any

IN SHAPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
Remarkable Clock That Has Been Con-
structed by Ingenious Kansas Me-
chanic-Eisht-Day Type.

Quite a curious clock has been con-
structed by a Kansas mechanic in
the form of miniature locomotive.
The dial, which is made of imitation
ebony, is fixed on one side of the
highly ornate cab of the engine and
is studded with small ruby and green
colored incandescent lamps.
The interior of the cab is supplied
with several other tiny globes, while
the headlight, which is fitted with
both reflector and lens, also mounts
a lamp. A switch controlled by
the clock automatically turns the
current on at six o'clock in the eve
ming and cuts it off IL hours later.
The headlight, the lamps in the cab,
and those on the face of the clock
are wired in separate circuits.
Each of these groups is flashed in
dependently of the others at inter
walls of about Is seconds and remains
lighted for a period of approximately
three seconds. The clock Is of stand
ard make and of the eight-day type.
1t strikes on the hour and half hour
by ringing the engine bell and while
doing this turns the driving wheels of
the locomotive, which do not touch
the tiny rock-ballasted track on which
they apparently rest A manual switch
at the rear of the cab provides an aux,
iliary control of the lamps-Popular

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,

Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while

Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-

breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-

stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver

Hi THE NY
NEGLECT VALUE, OF RECORDS
Best Investment-Sest to Keep
Track OF Feed and Milk.

Is the cheaper priced dairy COW
necessarily the better investment?
The question is we'll answered in the
following instance: A man wishing
COW for dairy purposes called upon
a dairyman who kept milk records as
we'll as cost accounts. The buyer con.
fined his attention to two cows One
of these would cost him SIS, the other
S175. The former was in good condi.
ton, but the dairy characteristics were
not as fully developed as they might
have been; the latter was the direct
opposite. The records of the two
cows were shown the buyer, but he
was not as much interested in records
as he should have been. He did not
consider it worth while to sit down
and figure out which would be the bet

RESPITE FOR MARY THOMAS
CoIored Woman, Dissatisfied With
Wings, Came Back to Earth for
Another Spell of Life.

Mary Thomas had been on the books
of the benevolent association for many
years. Her rent was regularly paid
from its all too small fund, her clothes
and her medicines were largely pro-
vided for in the same manner At last
one day the treasurer's assistant, a
negro preacher, burst into the office of
his chief, hardly waiting to knock.
MARY Thomas, she done daid, sab, -
he exclaimed.
THE gods are good the treasurer
breathed. sit down, Casey, and tell
me how it happened"
"Ah don't know much bout it, sab, u

gran'chile er Mary's, an All comes up
yhar right away ter tell yer. Use on

out properly. Good monin', sab"
The next day a slow, sad knock
sounded at the door of the treasurer
office, and Casey disconsolately walked
in.
She done come ter life, sah," he
said shortly.

release deed. Monks foreclosed on
the old trust deed and seized the prop
erty.
On the bleak Dakota prairie, half
way between the two towns, Mr.. Bliss
owned a small farm. This was not in
cluded in the mortgage, and was in
herited by Norman, free of incum-
brance. 1t was solitary, desolate
spot, but his only possession. With
manly spirit and hopeful heart, he
took up his abode in the little one
story house, and started in to get a
profit out OF the land.
1t proved to be a phenomenal sea-
son for wheat, and he was proud and
crop and figured up his gains, That
winter Viola was again at Plainfield,
visiting her relatives. Norman brought
his only live stock, his sturdy farm
team, to Plainfield, stabbed it at a
livery and remained a month in the
town.
During those blissful four weeks he
was almost a constant companion of
Viola. Not word of love passed be-
tween them, but he had every reason
to believe that Viola took something
more than a friendly interest in him
self and his fortunes. When he had
hidden her good-by, her brother invited
him to their house in Riverdale i'll the
early spring, and there was positive
echo of the invitation in the express
sive eyes Of his pretty sister.
So, all through the rest of the win
ter, Norman lived on the encourage
ment all this presaged. He hired a
man to run the farm early in May, and
went to Riverdale, as said, with a
happy, hopeful heart.
Young Tascott acted like true
friend, and Viola welcomed him with
apparent pleasure. Norman secured
room at the village hotel. Every
afternoon there was tennis, or a pic
mic or some society function at the
Tascott home, where Norman was re-
ceived as an honored guest. Viola
had her girl cousins visiting her and
they were sociable, jolly group.
Then that unfortunate afternoon
Norman was passing the open win
dow of room in which Viola and
some of her friends were gathered.
He heard his name spoken before he
reached the window. He heard, as he
passed it, those fateful words:
II would not marry that country
lout, If he were the last man in the
world"
What inference could he divine ex
cept the one that he had been under
discussion, and that Viola had spoken
her mind. Stunned, crushed, humili
ated, he fastened to the hotel With
in an hour he was fleeing from River
dale as though it held a pestilence
He left no particular word for Viola
or for her brother.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat we'll, digest well, work
we'll, sleep we'll, look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the. system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
phate On an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
Is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in.

GIVE cows SALT REGULARLY
Where Animals Can Help Them
selves Whenever They Wish.

Don't forget to salt the cows. In
experiments it has been found that a
cow should have three-fourths of an
ounce Of salt day live weight, with
an additional six-tenths Of an ounce
for each twenty pounds of milk pro-
duced, to keep her in the best Of con.
dition.
, Animals deprived of salt become
emaciated and of low vitality, finally
suffering a complete breakdown. Salt
should be provided regularly.
The best plan is to have a box con-
tanning salt where the animals can get
to it whenever they so desire. Either
fine salt or rock salt can be used, al
though we prefer the latter.

From these figures we see that it
would take the SIS COW about ten
years to pay for herself in butter; if
she was middle-aged COW she would
never do it. On the other hand, the
SITS cow would have paid for herself

Would he have done this if he had
appreciated the value of records, and
