Almost Every Human Ailment Is Directly Traceable to I'm purities in the Blood.

You cannot overestimate the impor- tance of keeping the blood free of im- purities. When you realize that the heart is constantly pumping this vital fluid to all parts of the body, you can easily see that any impurity in the blood will cause serious complications
 Any slight disorder or impurity that creeps into the blood is a source of danger, for every vital organ of the body depends upon the blood supply to properly perform it's functions.
 Many painful and dangerous dis eases are the direct result of bad

THE JUNK MAN
 HAS GOT TO GO

Officials at the city hall forecast a quiet session of the city commission to- day. No signs of sensation appear in the offing, so they claim.
 However, something may be started when Commissioner Truss introduces a resolution to put all the. junk dealers out of business. It appears that one was convicted in the recorders court yester- day and fined a raft of money and a lot of days because manhole cover, the sacred property of the city, was found in his possession. In the past, as may be recalled, railroad brass, and lead pipe, and copper wire, and steel bridges, and Turkish rugs, and brass andlrons, and automobile parts and equipment, and victrolas, and in fact everything that has value have been traced directly to or in the direction of some of the city s junk dealers, and no ear-splitting howl disturbed the city's repose.
 But an iron manhole cover, with the insignia of the city commission there on, ye gods! how horrible.
 'Tis the last straw, Annabclle The bad old junk man has gotter go.

Lookouts Gel Early Lead
 and BdrOns Suffer Defedt
Breaks of Game Against LocasRay Jansen Former Baron Stars With Wiow-Barons Have Numerous Chances to Score, But Pinch Hit Is Missing
By J. F. GILREATH

uv uvit Chattanooga, May 2S.-(spe-
 cial3-The Barons were held to
 four hits by Bacon today and ai-
 though he issued four bases on e balls, the pinch hit was lacking
 and the Lookouts took the first
 game of the series. to 1. Per-
 lyman had good control. but got
 into trouble in the first inning and
 his teammates could not stake him
 thereafter to enough runs to over-
 come the Lookout lead.
 Ham Hyatt the Lookouts rightfielder, resurrected an old charley horse while stealing second in the first round and Tim Bowden replaced him. Perryman's s troubles developed after he had retired the first two men facing him. After Syl- vester had been thrown out at first and Gleason had lifted fly to Webb, Jan sen smashed one of Perryman's swift ones over the left field fence. Hyatt hit to center and stole second
 Graf drew free pass Sheehan then singled to right field, and Southworth then threw wide of the plate, the ball pass ing Toland Hyatt and Graf scoring FL berfeld went out on a pop to Doc John- ston.
 BARONS SCORE TALLY
 In the second inning the Barons put across run after two were down. Clark drove double to left and stole third and Caton brought him home with single to center. Toland was thrown out at first by Graf.
 In the third, with one down, Jansen lifted another home run over left field fence. but as on the other occasion, had nobody on bases ahead of him. a The Barons began the fourth by getting a walk for Coombs. Southworth was re- tired on fly. to left. Ellis then hit to Gleason, forcing Coombs at second. and uark's bounder to Elberfeld resulted in | similar fate for Ellis. In the fifth | ming Caton got his second hit, a hard \ iven single to left, but could not get around. Toland raised foul to Sheehan, Perryman went out at first and was fol- lowed to that grave by Webb.
 ANOTHER THREAT CHECKED
 In the sixth another Baron threat came to naught. Johnston was safe on Graff's boot and Coombs was walked. South worth laid down a perfect sacrifice, put ting runners on second and third. Ellis hit the ball squarely on the nose, but it went straight into the pitchers hands, and the out at first was too quick to permit Johnston to attempt the dash home.
 \ Although Caton had hit twice, Bacon purposely walked Clark to get to the Baron shortstop. Caton hit the ball di- rectly in front of the plate and was hurled out at first by Peters After Toland and Perryman had been retired in the seventh Webb walked, but !. again the breaks was against the icsarops, as Doc Johnston's drive was cap aisared by Sheehan, who had to take a high he ap.
 2fvgoombs hit a long drive to right field oSn the eighth for three bases, but South worth and Ellis each famed and Clark went out at first. With Caton retired in the ninth on a pop, Molesmorth put in Haworth to hit for Poland, but the catch CT went out on fly. Mcdonald, hitting for Perryman, struck out.

FARM ACCOUNTS.

It is becoming more and more ap- parent that no expert, specialist or county agent has an inexhaus5ible SUD- ply of scientific agricultural informa- tion or generally applicable formulas that he can peddle broadcast which can be put into practice universally and which will result in new success on our farm. At the same time, it is becom ing increasingly clear that, in nearly every case, any man who takes the pains to go over his farm business as a business end to compare it with the business of his neighbors who are reasonably successful can work out for himself a method of making his busi- ness profitable.
 The greater part of the value of farm accounts lies in the fact that they provide the best stimulus to such think |. ing about the farm business and furnish the best basis on which to make plans. We have too much use of the imagina. tion in planning the farm business. Bookkeeping in general and farm ac. counting Ill particular has seemed to many men an uncertain and difficult mdGJ6I, Ou0 WLlCu Cdllou 1OI pdEblCu- lar training in accountancy. AS g matter of fact, any man who is able to write in such a way that he himself can decipher it and to add, subtract and divide can do such farm account. ing as will give him the necessary facts about his business. All that he has to do is, whenever he makes purchase or a sale, to set down in suitable place the date. the thing purchased or scld, and the amount. Of course it is easier to draw conclusions from the figures if he has gathered together on separate pages the receipts from particular sources. and the purchases for separate departments.
 Simple farm accounting, rightly used, means some money and lot more fun from the farming business.-A. w. Manchester, County Agent, Litchfield County.

. EGGS IN WINTER.

Early matching is the secret of win ter egg production, say specialists in the U. s. Department of Agriculture. The bullet that is matched earlymatures early and is ready to lay eggs in the fall when the supply is scarcest and prices highest. Chickens that are ex- pected to be revenue producers for their owners later in the year should be out of their shells by April 30 at che latest. If they are properly cared for there after they will begin to lay eggs at the very time that eggs are most wanted.
 To great extent the poultrymen of the country have overlooked this simple fact. For one thing, birds matched later in the spring or summer are not inclined to become broody until late the following season and thus an un- profitable circle is formed. Each year bullets mature too late to produce in the fall and winter, and they sit too late for their offspring to do any better. The poultryman who wishes to get really good returns from his flock must break this circle.
