When Cork Is Driven in Bottle.

When a cork slides down inside
bottle it is very difficult to get it out
unless one has the necessary tools,
and they are not always available,
writes Victor H. Todd, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
A good way to extract it is to grease
the neck of the bottle with vaseline,
then hold the bottle under cold water.
When the bottle is as cold as pos
sible spear the cork with a hat pin,
or even shake it until it blocks the
neck of the bottle and sets straight
with the neck, Then gradually heat
the bottle or pour hot water over it
and the expanding air will generally
force the cork out with slight pop.

Taxinu the MiIIionaires,

Under the new scale of income tax
imposed by the recent United States
revenue bin every citizen in receipt of
S150,O00 or more year must pay at
least half of if to the state.
Mr., Henry Ford, for example, is said
to have an income of $25,000,0O0 a
year, of which the revenue authorities
will claim between $15,000,000 and
$4,000 000-a sum sufficient to keep
1000 families in modest comfort for
ever.
But even Mr.. Ford gets off lighter
than Mr. John D. Rockefeller, who is
reputed to have an income of $780,
100000 year. Mr.. Rockefeller's
contribution to the treasury, it is said,
will not fall short of $S0,000,OO0 for
the current year-a sum which repre-
sents 1000 times his weight in gold.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

First Step in Organization Usually

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Poultry breeding associations are
usually the OutgrOwth of pioneer work
in organizing boys and girls into poul-
try clubs or of repeated efforts to in
terest producers in better poultry
methods. In some instances, however,
leaders in communities have expressed
their desire to make an effort to es-
tablish for themselves a business or
side line that will add to their in
comes as individuals and likewise in
crease the property of the communi-
ty. ...
In such promising localities, the
first step in organization usually Is
to get the support Of local business
men. In small towns many business
men own farms and consequently are
interested in agriculture, which in
turn benefits the various lines of busi-
ness. At the same time their assist
ance is helpful in financing the asso-
citation. In fact this is frequently &C.
complished by inducing the business
mems association to contribute a suit
able fund for standardized stock
which is to be distributed among the
farmers who join the association. Co.
operation of that kind is usually OBJ
tanned easily if the business MEN are
shown the advantages of the organiza-
ton and how the increased prosperity
eventually will benefit them.
Another plan that has proved to be
satisfactory in ,Overton county, Tenn,
is direct financial assistance from the
banks. In this case the banks adj
vanced $1,000 to be invested in breed
ing pens through the cooperation OF
the poultry club agent and the county
agricultural agent. Each pen consist
ed of ten hens or pullets and male
bird which cost on an average $3.50 q
bird. The pens were placed with club
members in the various communities.
Each person who received a pen guar
anteed to return, after the first year,
20 fowls in payment for the original
ten hens or pullets furnished him.
Those 20 standardized fowls, together
with two selected male birds, were d.
vided into two pens and the next year
