ECONOsiIC RULE IS UNBR0KEN
The More Money, the Higher the Prices, Has Been the Law Since
 Earliest Days of World.

When the Indians of New England found plenty of seashells out of which to make their money called wampum, the more of it they would give for a blanket, basket, kettle, pair of mecca sins or feather bonnet, says Glrard in the Philadelphia Ledger.
 The political economy of King Phil- lips race and time still prevails. Ev- cry day this year the rest of the world has dumped a cool $3,000,000 of gold upon the United States. Now we have nearly $1.000,000O00 more gold than we had when the war began.
 If we had cheap wheat, shoes, over coats, vegetables. or coal after hay Ing added nearly 90 per cent to our gold hoard, we should be obliged to tear up all those fine-spun and dusty political economy books We were taught In school.
 But the books stand, and rightly so for the very paper they are printed on has been boosted upward by this colos- sal wave of gold. When this un- matched crest of yellow metal breaks and recedes after the war-wefi, we shall follow King Phillip and his warn- pun and pay smaller amount of it for what we buy.

PLYMOUTH ROCK IS POPULAR
Breed as First Originated Was of Barred variety-White Is Hardy
 and Adapted to Farms.

The most popular of all American breeds of poultry Is the Plymouth Rock. This breed as first originated was of the Barred variety, which is yet the most popular of all the eolors. Early in the breeding of Barred Ply mouth Rocks fanciers reported the ap- pearance of white chicks. They were
 sports and some were bred together, producing the present variety of White Plymouth Rocks. They have attained great popularity, widely bred, both for utility ands fancy.
 They are hardy and especially adapt ed to farms. The hens lay large dark brown eggs of grade much sought In certain localities.
 The chicks are vigorous, strong and active, and grow exceptionally fast on range reaching maturity at from five and one-half to six and one-half months old. They are readily salable for the highest grade of market poul- try at all ages from broiler size to full maturity, and are very popular in some sections for the production of eapons.

GIVE SOUR MILK TO CHICKS
Found Beneficial In Cases of White Darrhea by Professor kaupp
 of North Carolina.

When white diarrhea attacks a flock of young chicks many of them die, while those that survive are more or less stunted. Feeding freely on sour milk has been found beneficial. If sour milk does not act against the disease 1t at least gives the chicks greater strength and vitality so they are not seriously affected if attacked.
 In some tests by Professor Kaupp of North Carolina be found that chicks fed on sour milk quickly recovered when attacked and the loss was only 10 to 16 per cent. In similar lot, handled and fed the same except for the milk, the loss was 24 per cent the first month, while the remainder were in such weakened condition that at the end of eight weeks 36 per cent had died.

TO GET EGGS DURING WINTER
Comfortable Houses Must Be Provided to Secure Most Profitable Re-
 turns From Hens.

Times have changed since chickens roasted out on the trees and fences. Once in while you may see such farms where hens are permitted to follow this old way of foraging. But as a rule every hen must pay profit or she goes to market and at an early age too. Hens are measured by the number of eggs they lay instead of by the number of pounds they weigh. Ex- pensive houses are not necessary but must be comfortable to insure proper egg laying. A house should accom- modate as many hens as space calls for without crowding; about two square feet of floor space per hen Is about right. This keeps un rhe tenn perature in cold nights and st.ll gives scratching room to insure egg produc- ton.

To PreUent Old Age
 Coming Too Soon i!

Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown out by the kidneys. The kidneys act us filters for such products. If we wish to prevent old age coming too soon and in- crease our chances for long fife. we should drink plenty of pure water and take a little Anuric." says the world famed Dr. Pierce of Buffalo. N. Y.
 When suffering from backache, ire quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired. worn-out feeling. the simple way to overcome these disorders is merely to obtain little Anuric (double strength) from your nearest druggist and you will quickly notice the grand results. You will find 1t many times more potent than lithia. and that it dissolyes uric acid as hot water does sugar.

 T had seen an advertisement for Tanlac and had heard of the remark able results being accomplished by this new medicine, but never thought would have need for any. One day as l sat in the swing on our little front porch I thought of this adver- tisement and somehow or other I got ray of hope. With one of the few remaining dollars 1 had. bought q bottle.
 Doctors Are Amazed.
 0kHY wife was so weak I only gave
 WI her half the amount recom- mended. In a few days I noticed q strange improvement in her condition. I could have wept for joy. After I had given her one bottle of Tanlac the doc tors called one day and were surprised to find her sitting up in bed eating some toast and drinking some milk. They were amazed.
 "When my wife had taken two bot ties of Tanlac she was able to sit in a rolling chair and she continued to im- prove rapidly. Those were indeed happy days. I forgot my previous suf- fering. I forgot that our little home was gone. I thought of nothing ex- cept that my wife was alive and rap idly recovering her health and thank God for letting me do what did. To-day she is a perfect picture of health. She can eat anything she wants. Such things as meat, turnips. and hard boiled eggs do not bother her a par ticle and she sleeps as well as she did when girl In her teens. She took eleven bottles of Tanlac and gained 30 pounds.
 'So, this is my statement It Is true that spent all that had saved try ing to restore her health. I don't know until this day what actually ailed my wife. but I do know how healthy and happy she is today and can truthfully say that nothing on earth did this but Tanlac."
