TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate lee Able, Of
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
lured himself with piece of heavy ma
chinery, across The abdomen He was
so sore he could not bear TO press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed les lbs, and fell off until he
weighed 10 lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and il looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with ali their medicine, his
bowels failed TO act. He would turn up
ten-cent bottle Of castor oil, and drink
il two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.

Children CRY
FOR FLETCHER'S
Q a 8 TO RIA
Great Men Died Learning.

1t is well to remember that the very
greatest men died learning, like Ba-
con and Pasteur. Socrates was enter
ing old age when he drank the hem
lock, but / do not think anyone would
say that his last words were, there
fore, of no worth. The greatest bene-
factions to humanity, the greatest
services to human thought have not
all been bestowed or rendered by men
under twenty-five or even under forty
years of age, a fact sometimes worthy
of remembrance. Do not, then, fall
victims to over-confldence and close
your mind. The injunction is as i'm
portant for youth as for age; easy Of
attainment for the former, difficult for
the latter possibly for both. The past
and the present, youth and age. new
and old, all have their place In the
sun; all are needed for the widest
learning, for the highest achievement,
for the best development Of mankind.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.

National Forest Helping
Increase OF Meat Supply

Washington, Aug. 27.-As a war
emergency measure the National For
est ranges are carrying this summer
approximately 100000 more cattle
and 100000 more sheep than in or.
binary years, according 70 the grazing
experts of the Forest Service. Ordins
arily the National Forests furnish
pasturage for about l,S00,0O cattle
and horses and $4,000 head Of
sheep.
The number OF livestock permitted
on the Forests is limited in order to
prevent damage TO timber growth,
water supplies, and the range itself.
This year exceptional weather condi-
tons combined with the general food
situation 10 create an unusual emer-
gency, called for special provisions to
take care of the stock. A severe
winter and late spring exhausted the
hay supply and forced use of the
spring ranges before they had reached
their normal state. To lessen the
osses which the western livestock
industry faced, the National Forest
ranges were opened early. AT the
same time, the number of stock per-
mitted for the present season was
raised to the maximum consistent
with safeguarding future productive
ness.

Her Memory Faulty.

She was middle-aged, stylishly
gowned and apparently sane. And she
was looking at the paintings In the
Corcoran Gallery of Art through q
gold-framed lorgnette, that dangled
from a jeweled gold chain.
Another woman was standing before
a canvas, and, in a desire for informa-
ton, or, perhaps, for the sake Of social
interchange, the lady Of the lorgnette
inquired, affably:
'Ts that a picture Of the death OF
the LordT

Pay. Pray and PEG Away.

In Long Island village there used
to be and still is group Of people who
thought a good deal Of each other in
spite Of what they said, which was
frequently Of an unsympathetic ma
ture, according to the New York Sun.
The group existed under various self
imposed names and had a semi-humor-
ous motto which ran, "Pay, pray and
peg away"
All the members Of this little asso-
citation are still alive, kicking and
good-natured.
Now seems an apt time to suggest
that their motto be made public and
urged for more general adoption.

OF all the kings of England, perhaS
Richard, the hunchback, has the most
sinister reputation, his only rival being
the crafty John. He died on Bosworth

gained by murder. II is a matter Of
history as well as of Shakespeare-not
always the same thing-that the tide
of success turned against Richard

There is no peace from the dull

No rest from the soreness, lame

are disordered you can't reach the
cause too soon.

beautiful, striped little cub was
orphaned one of the bears in tbo

AL. G. Barnes conceived tho idoa
of strapping the cubless bears four
feet and permitting the motharlass
hybrid to take the place of the ,i,tlo
dead bear cub
Instead of objecting tha hoon
seemed rather to like the strange

but was unable to rally from the NAL
ady that Lad secured such a firm grip
upon him.
