 You may suffer q great deal with pain in the back. headache. loss of ambition, nervousness and may be Respondent and irritable.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. kilmer's swamp Root, q physicians pre- seription. obtained at any drug store, re- stores health to the kidneys and IS just the remedy needed to overcome such con. 1itions.
 Get fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store.
 However. If you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kllmer < Co. Binghamton. \. l.. for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.

 Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, coloriess and scraggy hair Is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff.

A little Danderine topight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderlne from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance whis fl is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actual ly see a lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-growing all over the scalp.

START IN POULTRY BUSINESS
Spring Is Good Time to Besin-Either Obtain Breeding Pen or File
 Order for Euas.

Spring is good time tp start in the poultry business. Either obtain good breeding pen from someone who is reliable and who raises the breed you fancy, or else send for eggs. You do not have much time to obtain breeding pens, for most breeders of purehred stock have their pens mated by th!s time and without doubt will have disposed of their sur plus choice breeding males by adver- Using them Inst faii and selling them to parties wanting good breeders.
 The other plan. then, Is to send to these breeders and obtain their price lists at once. Even if you do not eare to have the eggs for month or so, send now and obtain the price lists and get your order booked, for others are doing the same thing. and most breeders send out eggs in the order booked Delays oftentimes cost much, due to inability of the shipper to fill hts many orders as promptly as he may desire.

and his blood has as many red cor puscles as yours or mine. Now, Ar thur, you've heard my diagnosis. Do you think you can get well?"
 T think l could if could stop dreaming" the lad answered. l saw his father shoot a swift glance at him
 You haven't told anybody else about your dreams?" asked lmmanuel
 No, doctor. They wouldn't take any notice
 What do you dream?"
 T don't remember. except that they leave me dreadfully unhappy and de pressed and weak, and I always seem to be worse when I have dreamed"
 And then you wake and find your. self in the ehapel?" said Immanuel suddenly
 The boy was taken by surprise; he looked at the other quickly. Yes sir" he murmured.
 You see, gentlemen. the dreams are the immediate cause of his ill. ness said the Greek Two hundred years ago we should have said that he was possessed. A hundred years ago we should have tried to beat the devil out of him. Fifty years ago we should have sent him to sea But today for the first time in human history we can : treat such cases intelligently. We can recall these unknown dreams to him.
 Under hypnotism?e
 Yes. and can cure the cause. Freud has shown the intimate connec. tien between dream life and waking life. l have shown that there is often another connection; that in dreams we live again in dead, past lives, other. wise totally forgotten That is the only difference, and it is one of theory not of procedure. You can safely in. trust your sons cure to me"

BEGIN FIGHT ON PARASITES
Insects Become Numerous-Dust Birds Thoroughly.

A common practice among poultry men is to wait ln the spring until llee and other parasites have become so numerous that they will be noticeable By far the better plan is to begin the fight early and keep them from getting tt start.
 One of the hest means of doing this Is to dust the birds thoroughly with q good insect powder. at regular inter- vals, beginning in late winter There Is no harm in giving the hens an appli- cation occasionally even it midwihter since they are never entirely free from lice. and everyone of these pests killed before the breeding season may mean Il million or two less to fight next sum mer.

 Watch this" said Immanuel Now, see it revolve. There are between four and five hundred revolutions a minute. Yes, blink your eyes as much as you like, but don't turn them away. Sir John, will you lower the lamp a trife?"
 Watch closely" continued the phy- sieian in low and very soothing tone. "Now-you perceive that your eyes are becoming tired and yet the strain is pleasant. You could not turn your eyes away now if you tried Your consciousness is growing clearer, but Is concentrated on this. You can. not think of anything but this. See how brightly it spins. Now you may close your eyes. You cannot open them" :"
 The boys eyes closed.
 You are not asleep" continued the doctor, but you are in sleepy con- dition. You must not go to sleep but you will go down to where sleep is What did you dream about last night?''
 He shut off the battery and discon, nected the instrument, replacing both in his pockets, and moved over to the boy and placed his hand gently upon his forehead

 "Generally-yes Confidence begets confidence. Besides, it is difficult to l hypnotise anyone against his will, ex- cept in certain abnormal conditions.

 It is rather hard to select young cockerels, as they may often deceive one when they are quite young. Like q calf, colt, or Il pig, there Is much speculation in selecting for breeding purposes. Nevertheless, there are certain characteristics that may be noted. From these careful breeder will determine the male birds for his flock.
