II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
Il is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF IT..
A prominent druggist says ''Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify:
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

ONCE A TERM OF REPROACH
"Grass Widow" Used by Teutons to
Indicate an Unmarried Mother
Other Possible Origins.

The term 'grass widow" very like
ly originated from the wording of q
canon law of the eleventh century.
which ordained that a widow should
remain under Gods protection and
grace" for a full year after her hus-
bands death, and then marry If she
pleased. Such women were widows
OF grace" and in later parish registers
they are described as 'grasse wild
owes" In the time of Sir Thomas
More the term grass widow" was
applied to unmarried mothers, and in
this sense it was used in most of the
Teutonic languages. In modern times
the term lost that reproach, and has
been applied TO the wives of men long
absent from home. Another eXplana-
ton of its origin is found here in the
United States. During the days of
gold rushes it was common for men
to board out their wives until they had
made enough to start n home in the
West. and this. in the picturesque
speech OF the time was termed put
ting ones widow out to grass"

PREFER LONG, SMOOTH CORN
Nebraska Farmers Believe That Kind
Of Ear Will Stand More Grief
Than Other Types.

Over large part of Nebraska they
have come TO the conclusion that
corn with along, smooth ear will ordi-
narily stand more grief and yield more
than corn of the so-called show type.
The Nebraska station has four years
of experimenting which indicates that
the large, rough type of ear yields an
average of 81 bushels to the acre; the
short, rough, 81 bushels; the short
smooth, 81 bushels, and the long, slim,
smooth, 80 bushels. For some reason
corn with long, slim, smooth ears that
partake slightly of flint characters
tics, stands trouble better than the
more fancy-looking corn of central
Iowa and Illinois.

the temperature of the lead on arrival
was found to vary from 40 TO 20 de-
grees Fahrenheit, averaging % de-
grees. These shipments, including go
cars of peaches with average decay
on arrival of 9.S per cent: 80 cars of
cabbage. average decay 1873 per cent :;
8 cars of tomatoes. average decay 25.S
per cent; 5 cars of cantaloupes, aver
age decay S.4 per cent; and 6 cars of
strawberries, average decay IS per
cent.
Decay on arrival does not include
all the deterioration, according to in
veStigators, because many shipments
showing small percentage of decay
arrive overripe and soft, owing to inn
perfect refrigeration, and these ship
ments deteriorate rapidly while in the
hands of dealers and consumers. But
without considering the decay that oc-
ours after the cars are unloaded. the
percentage of decay in the total num-
her of cars of fruit and vegetables ar
irving under refrigeration shows an
enormous loss of food. If the average
of lis per cent decay shown on
shipments at Chicago, Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh last year held at other mar
kets, it would mean an annual loss of
about AZ, 200 carloads destroyed in
transit, or about 1.1S0,000,00 pounds
of fruit and vegetables. This loss is
only in shipments moving under refrig-
Grafton. There is heavy loss also in
shipments under ventilation.
Better Cars, Less Loss.
ri oh iSh
in refrigerator cars have located causes
of loss and shown that change in car
construction will reduce the losses. In
each end of refrigerator car are COM
partmentS running from the roof TO
the floor and known as "bunkers,"
which are filled with ice before the
car is loaded. There is n passage I'M
der and around this ice bunker and its
insulated wall out to the floor of the
car. Air, cooled by the ice, is heavier
than warm air, and travels downward
and out along the floor of the car, dis
placing the warm air above 1t and thus
cooling the load. Raising the load on
open floor racks helps distribute the
cold air from the ice bunkers and in
creases air circulation, which is nee
damage. The question of insulation
for the floor ends and sides of the car
is also important and air spaces must
be provided between the rows of con-
tainers SO that all the load will be kept
cool. All these problems and a stand
ard type of refrigerator car has been
designed by the department of agri-
culture. Some of these improved cars
have been built by the railroad admin
istration and are giving satisfactory
results.
How Others Can Help.
Improvement of refrigerator cars
cannot be depended upon to eliminate
all of the present enormous loss in
fruits and vegetables, ac-
cOrding to the bureau of markets.
Farmers can help by more careful
picking, grading and packing, and ship
pers and dealers by more attention to
loading and handling fruits and vege-
tables.
