FLOOD IN TIENTSIN COSTLY
Forced Residents in Foreign conees-
sion to BuIld Dixie at consid-
cradle Expense.

Tientsin has recently suffered from
devastating floods and has just com
pleted high dixie around the foreign
concessions. Thousands Of Chinese
were put mt work and the cost, $4,000.
was paid by the foreign residents with
no aid from China.
"At the end Of October water stood
five feet deep over almost every
square yard of the compound, which Is
below the normal level of the Pelho
river" according to ii. J. Turner, It
prominent merchant of Tientsln, says
East and West News. He adds :
"There is no hope that this water Will
ever drain away. The only solution
for the foreign residents is to pump
the water into the river. This opera
tion will cost another $4,000. The
next dilemma that confronts the peo-
pie of Tientsin is the coming of hard
freeze. Every winter the river at
Tientsin freezes from three to six feet
In thickness, so that if cold weather
should suddenly appear before the wa
ter inside the dixie is pumped out it
will solidify and remain so until next
spring. This means that the central
heating systems of all houses occupied
by the cOnsulates and others will be
out of commission all winter"
The flood at Tientsin differs from
that at Galveston, Tex, because the
latter was caused by a tidal wave from
the Gulf of Mexico, while the former
was due to unusual rise in the Peiho
river.

CatarrhaI Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
.he diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one. way. to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When. this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be DESTROYED
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition Of the Mucous Surfaces.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for any
case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by HALLS CATARRH

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation Of his water. This is most essen
tial because the kidneys play most i'm
portant part in causing premature old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. z, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength, before meals.
This An-u-ric is a late discovery of Dr.
Pierce and is put up in tablet form, and
can be obtained for 80c at almost any
drug store. For that backache, lumbago,
rheumatism, rusty" joints, swollen feet
or hands, due to uric acid in the blood,
Anuric quickly dissolves the uric acid as
hot water does sugar. Take little An
uric before meals and live to be a hun
dred. Send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce for trial
package of Anuric.

Building barns to stable animals worth

There is as much money in raising

There are few types of barns which
have survived the changes which have
taken place during recent years in the
farm building field. An advancement
in the methods of barn design may
affect some of the "Old favorltes" In
that their arrangement is made to
conform with the more advanced prin-
ciples of sanitation, ventilation and
lighting, these three subjects being
among the most important of those
which have been so thoroughly inves-
ticated in recent efforts at farm build
Ing betterment. However, the tried

HOW TO ENCOURAGE YOUR
FLOWERS
BY E. VAN RENTHuYsEN.

If you want to encourage blooming
in your hybrid and tea roses, cut back
to well developed bud at the juno
ture of leaf and stem when cutting
off the rose.
1t is not generally known that if O
spray of gladiolus is cut when the first
flower appears, or rather opens, and
placed in water it will bloom just as
well as if on the stalk.
Popples are short lived after being
cut, and therefore are unsatisfactory
for decoration. However, if every
bloom is cut in the evening and thrown
away, those flowers that open next
morning will last two or three days
II they are plunged in water up to their
necks for an hour or two. After a
thorough soaking they can be used in
vases, and their beauty will charm for
two or three days.
The sweet pea, like every flower that
blows, demands a daily stripping of
every bloom. Producing seeds is done
at the expense of blooms, however,
flowers should be cut with sharp
shears, never torn from the plant.
Never cut flowers of the "wax plant"
unless you wish no further blooms. It's
flowers are produced in exactly the
same "eye" each time, and if the eye
Is removed no more flowers will de-
velop.
Weak, liquid manure is just the stim-
ulant most flowers need when they
bloom. Do not stint them in this re-
spect.
Another aid to profusion of flowers
is plenty of water.
The dust mulch in time of drought
is beneficial when water is scarce.
No matter what the calendar says,
do not plant your tube-roses out of
doors until the ground is warm, and
spring sets in in earnest
One way to give the children an in
terest in the farm and it's work is to
allow each a garden plot. Let them
grow whatever they wish and use it
as they please.
Liquid manure is made by saving

spigot near the bottom. Punch holes
in an old lard can through the bottom
and around its sides near the bottom,
and fill with fresh manure. Place 1t
on the tub, with boards laid across
the tub and fill the can with water.
Harden plants grown under cover by
exposing them to the sun and air and
outdoor atmosphere. Expose them but
q short time at first and increase the
exposure until they are hardy. How
ever, they must not be left in the
weather during high or cold winds, or
when frost snow or ice are in the air.

Veteran is Fast Runner.

Col. James L. Smith is a veteran of
the Civil war. He is seventy-three
years old; he lives in Detroit and
never misses day from his desk in
one of the city's big automobile plants,
relates the American Magazine. Army
surgeons have pronounced him "a
physical specimen without a parallel"
because he runs, or walks, five miles
as minimum and ten miles as a max
imum every day. That is his UNDER
standing Of the secret of his youth.
He doesn't claim that it is the secret
for other people necessarily-but 1t is
the secret for him. Detroiters no
longer turn their head when they see
this white-haired man come running
down the street. At seventy-three he
can run ten miles in IS minutes. At
seventy-three he can sprint faster than
the average youth of seventeen or nine
teen.

"TOLL FOR VICTORY HIGH"
Daniels Declares All Is Not Staked on
One Battle-Speaks at University
of Virginia.

Charlottesville, Va, June 12.-Speak-

the University Of Virginia, Secretary
Daniels declared that good would come
out of the world war in that it would
teach the lesson that "the rule of force
must be resisted, and will be resisted
successfully at every cost and at the
Supsemest sacrifice.
1--WE shall pay heavy toll before vic
tory comes" he said. "but all is not
staked in a single battle. The Prus-
sian power may bend here or break
us there, but they fight against the
ideals Of freedom and justice. These,
enforced by the willingness to sacrifice
by 81 nations, are stronger than all
the batteries of Krupp, all the aircraft
of Zeppelin. all the strategy of linden
burg and more invincible than all the
undeysea assassins of Won Tirpitz."
