What Edgerton Wants to Know
The Answer is Found in the State
ment of an EdgertOn Resident.


From week to week, from year to
year. there have been appearing in
these columns statements made by
neighbors, which we have all read with
great interest, and many of us with
great profit. But what we want to
know is, do they stand the greatest
test of all---the test of time? Here is
conclusive evidence on this point from
an Edgerton man:
John Dave, retired farmer, Broad
way and Fulton SITS, Edgerton, Wis,
says:-'I suffered from disordered kid
ney several years ago. The first
symptom was dull pain in the small
of my back. / sometimes had dull head
aches and felt languid and little like
getting around. had frequent desires
to pass the kidney secretions. Though
took treatments for quite while I
didn't seem to improve | finally / used
Doans Kidney Pills and they strength

Statement given July 22nd, 1900.

Furnishing the Home.

When you plan to furnish your new
home and have just so much money to
spend begin by making two lists, one
Of the things you want and the other
Of things you have to have. Cross off
from one and add to the other and you
will get the best results from your
money.
Plans for furnishing home should
begin with the kitchen. A housewife
spends good share of her time in the
kitchen. and she owes it to herself to
make it as attractive and easy to work
in as possible.
Too many young housekeepers plan
their furnishings and homes with a
view to what their friends will say
about them and not enough attention
to the real needs.
Too many Of us start furnishing our
homes where our friends will see them
first-at the front door-and when we
get to the kitchen there is nothing left

REAL TRAGEDY IN BIRD LIFE
Story of Long Vigil Kept by Scarlet
Coated Songster for Missing
Mate Is Full of Pathos.

In the annals OF bird lore nothing
can be found surprising in pathos the
story which comes from Tarlton, o.
For many weeks, close to the home of
the writer, early and late there could
be heard the loud, clear call of a bird
to his mate. With his scarlet coat in
strong contrast with his surroundings,
and his no less decided military bear
ing, he would perch on the topmost
twig of tall apple tree and from his
coign of vantage scan the little world
around him with his eagle eye, hoping
to glimpse the familiar form of his
lost companion. His alert ear and eye
catching no sight or sound of the alb
sent loved one, he would pour out his
soul in unavailing pleadings for her
return. The little singer in his untir-
ing song proclaimed the fact that he
was waiting with hopeful heart.
One morning, while in quest of the
early worm, he CHANGED to light upon n
bush that stood by a window opposite
the window of another house only a
few feet away, and, seeing his image
reflected so wildly and so close to him,
he flew joyously at the apparition, be-
lieving it to be his long-lost mate. His
enthusiasm knew no bounds. Quick
and hard We're the blows struck with
his horny beak and claws in his i'm
potent wrath until nightfull, when he
sank to rest. The next morning at
early dawn he renewed his clarion
call, and came back to renew the bat
tie. of the previous day with his de-
lusive image This little tragedy in
the heart of the bird has been carried
on for five months. His flaming coat
is just as bright and his kingly bear
ing none the less striking, but a great
change has come over the spirit Of
the bird. He gave no sign of the bat
tie royal that has raged in his breas.

song has fallen into silence-CinciH

SUNS AND WORLDS IN MAKING
Astronomers Admitted to Workshop
of the Universe" to View Won
ders Therein.

We look today on the things of a
century, millennium, ago. Light trav-
cling at the rate of 10000 miles a
second requires more than four years
to come from the nearest star, perhaps
thousands and tens of thousands of
years from the farthest. Hence in
every case we see not what is, but
what was.
Thousands of nebulae have been dis
covered in the heavens. The spiral
pattern of some few nebulae has long
been confirmation of the theory that
they are the real beginners of solar
system. But there has recently come
in much evidence of the spiral charac-
ter of other nebulae, that the conclu-
sion seems forced upon us that practi-
cally all are in q state of rotation, and
are hence supplying the centrifugal
force to throw off the rings which roll
themselves up into planets revolving
about central suns.
When opportunity is given to look
directly down upon nebulae there re-
in rotation. There is no other way of
explaining its remarkable details of
structure. Some look like the propel-
Ter blades of motorboat; some are ac-
tually caught in the act of throwing of
rings, which are seen condensfng at
certain centers, rolling themselves into
planets, henceforth to travel around
their suns. The great nebulae in An
dromeda gives striking evidence that it
is working out another and greater
solar system than our own.
In short, it seems that in studying
the nebulae we are being admitted TO
the very workshop of the universe, and
are permitted to watch the actual pro-
cess of turning out worlds. Nothing
In the heavens is better fitted to fill the
very soul with awe. As in the case of
the fixed stars" our lives are too
brief, too feeble OFF eyes, TO detect the
actual motion.-Frederick Campbelrs

Unrelated Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have not much In
common botanically with their more
familiar namesakes. They have long
been cultivated as food in tropical and
subtropical countries, and were actu-
ally introduced into England at an
earlier date than the common potato
The two tubers were often confound-
ed By writers of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, but the sweet
potato won more popularity than its
rival. STEPPED in wine or made into
a sweetmeat, it was regarded as an
excellent invigorator. Swedish and
agreeable TO the taste, its fiesh-form-
ing qualities are considered equal at
least to those OF the common potato.
