Fish Earminu.

That fish Gun be raised as q profit
able farm crop Is the belief of the
state College Of Agriculture at Cor
nell. The college authorities are plan
ming to add to their present fish hatch
cry II series of ponds in which the fish
may be kept and reared to maturity
under known conditions. Up to the
present time there has been scarcely
any scientific fish raising, and most OF
the hatcherles are ralsing ''fry" and
turning them loose in the streams tC'
shift for themselves. The only places
where trout are raised to any extent
are on commercial farms, and even
there the process has not been stand
ardized nor has the problem received
the study necessary to place fish raiS-
ing on n practical basis. The QUeS-
ton of the best fish foods and how to
provide them, the selection Of breeding
stock and the best methods of FISH pond
management have been neglected. 1.Dd
IL is these questions that the college
hopes to solve.

WONDERFUL FEAT OF NELSON
How a Writer Got Things Mixed on
Incident In Life Of Great
Admiral.

II is. of course, necessary that writ
ers of historical "reminiscences be mas
ters Of a certain amount Of accurate
information about their heroes II they
are to avoid mistakes. There Is IN
amusing instance of how one writer
lacking such information, got things
mixed with reference to an incident In
the life Of the great Nelson.
Not so long ngo a reviewer in Lon
don paper. criticizlng a book on Mel
son, related on his own account the
following episode of the eminent Brit
ish naval commander:
"While in chase. Of Vllleneuve's
French feet he was informed OF the
enemy heaving in sight, at which IN
formation Nelson evlnced the highest
satisfaction and gleefully rubbed his
hands"
WhereupOn some one Immediately
pointed out that this incident had oc-
CURED in 1905. and that Nelson had
lost his right arm in the attack on
Santa Cruz, Teneriffe. in 1701-eight
years prior to his pursuit Of VILE
neuye's fleet.

FIRST STARTED PUNCTUATION
Venetian Printers Were the First 70
Develop Rational and compre-
henslVe System.

The first to develop a rational ana
comprehensive system Of punctuation
we4e the famous Venetian printers,
Aldus Manutius, his son, Paulus, ana
the latter's son, Aldus, Jr. Aldus Ma
nutlus, also known as TeObaldo Ma
nucci and AluO Manuzio, was not only
the founder of the famous Aldine
Press and one Of the greatest scholars
of his time, but he was the father OF
punctuation In modern times.
AristOphanes, the ancient gramma-
rian, invented q system Of punctuation,
but 1t was wholly lost during the Dark
Ages, and no attempt was made to re-
vive It until the reign Of Charlemagne.
Under the latter's direction, Warnes-
fried and AlOuIn formulated punctu-
ation system, but there were few rules
governing the use of their signs, and
they were practically worthless Al
dus AIanutius and his successors OF
the AldIne Press increased the num-
her Of punctuation marks and estaD-
lIshed fixed rules ior their use. Later
grammarians have introduced some
improvements, and the rules Of punctu-
alton have been changed somewhat
and new ones added, but the punctua-
tion system Of the Manutlus formed
the foundation for that now In use

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrir-
ton, OvercOmes Kidney Trouble

Il is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
rs they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid.
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DIR. kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will

A few drops of this new ether COM

surrounding skin.
