SOME CROP.

Out near Neodesha, Kan, Mrs. Dora
Long has a crop of 1000 bushels
of June wheat worth $4,000. She
was not expecting so large yield,
because the season had been back
ward at the start, and her problem
is now one of storage. For the
present, in addition to her barns, she
is using her bedrooms, as well as
other apartments of her home, as
wheat bins. This, however, will
amount only to temporary incon-
venience. A woman with $4,000
worth of June wheat on hand can
afford to put up for awhile at the
county seat hotel.-Christian Science

FEEL WORSE AFTER VACATION.

The change from outdoor activity
of vacation time to the quiet of reg
ular employment sometimes makes
one feel heavy and stuffed up un-
comfortable and bilious with a mean
headache, a nervous unrest and thick
ly coated tongue. Instead of com
planning that "a vacation does no
good" it is better to remove the
trouble, which usually is the result of
indigestion. Foley Cathartic Tablets
give quick relief with no unpleasant
ness or costive after effects.-S. G.

had earnestly wished for. 1t was a
motorcycle accident and the man had
broken his leg. The girl confiscated
the walking stick of passerby and
broke it into three pieces for splints.
She blushingly took off her under
skirt for bandages and was enthu-
siastically cheered by the crowd.
When all was complete she summon
ed a cab and took her patient to the
hospital "Who bandaged this limb
so creditably ?" inquired the surgeon.
81 did," she blushingly replied. "Well
it is done beautifully, but / see you
have made one little mistake" said
the surgeon. "You have bandaged
