VALUABLE HoLsTEIN COW.

The registered Holste1n cow, Zelpha Kruger DeKol, is owned by the State Agricultural School, Third District, Magnolia, Arkansas.
 She produced in January 1657.5 pounds, or 207.2 gallons of milk and 60 pounds of butter.
 The total value of the milk and butter was $71.40, cost of feed $26.35, leaving a profit of $45.05
 The butter was used and paid for by students and teachers of the school. The milk was disposed of in this way and fed to chickens and pigs.
 Skimmilk is one of the most valu- able of feeds, and if the farmer feeds all surplus to best breeds of livestock he has at his door a profitable means for handling every pound produced. He may not be able to sell milk to advantage, but he can sell poultry products and hogs This enables him to market at profit the gross of his pasture and much that would other wise go to waste.
 The herd of Jerseys and Holsteins are proving very profitable at the Agricultural School.
 You are invited to see these cattle.

WOODROW FOR HIMSELF"
Suffragists Aboard .'Prison SpeciaP Say Wilson Not for Suffrage.

Chicago, March 6.--Perhaps it is just as well that President Wilson is thousand or so knots at sea. because some decided unnatural feminine sen timents were voiced tonight in the Congress Hotel.
 They were talking about women's rights, and, incidentally, woman's wrongs-or the National Suffrage movement--and the speakers com prised those who lately were in the 0ccoquan workhouse and the district jail at Washington.
 They arrived in Chicago Wednes- day night aboard the Prison Spe- eial," on which they are making a tour of the country in the interests of the suffrage cause.
 The chief speakers at the Congress mass meeting were Mrs. Abby Scott Baker, chairman of the National Woman's party; Miss Vida Mulhol- land, Miss Mary Winsor and Miss Lucy Burns.
 Mrs. Abby Scott Baker voiced the creed of her followers in talk with reporters. In reply to an invitation to discuss the merits of suffrage in order to convince a skeptic," she said:
 "It doesn't matter whether you be- lieve in it or not. The day of argu- ment on it is past. The whole Nation demands it. The only point at issue is method to make congress give it to us. We believe that it is thru a special session.
 "We don't like this public life. We prefer our homes. But it is necessary. If we sit back meek in the face of in- justice. we are towards. In justifica- tion for our flag waving, White House picketing and speech burning, need only to say that action has always followed
 | Despite President Wilson's public championing of the cause, he's for ". ", and not for ". S.. said Mrs. Baker.

For fifteen years I have been suf-

troubles I think anybody ever had.
1t would trouble me by spells which
would last for two or three months at
a time. After every meal was
troubled with formation Of gas and
the way would bloat was something
terrible, and the gas would press
against my heart 80 1t was all I could
do to breathe, and night after night
had to sit propped up in bed to sleep.
because II lay down it was impossi-
Bile for me to breathe at all. also
and such bad attacks Of heartburn
would become almost frantic. 1 suf-
fered terribly from severe headaches
which would almost drive me dis
tracted and were so bad they would
keep me in bed for two or three days
at a time. To add to my other
troubles about six months ago I began
to suffer severely from rheumatism in
my feet and ankles and last summer It
around and my ankles became so
badly swollen couldn't put on my
shoes. I naturally became extremely
weak and badly run down and 1t was
simply impossible for me to do all my
own housework.
II had tried SO many different medi-
cfnes without being benefited had
become very much discouraged, and
when my husband suggested try
Tanlac would not listen to him.
Well, one day a few weeks ago while
was downtown one Of those sudden
attacks Of stomach trouble came on
me, and could hardly get my breath
for gas pressing against my heart, and
I made for the nearest drug store to
try to get something to relieve me,
and while resting until I. was able to
get home I saw q display Of Tanlac,
and bought bottle. I have bought
two since then. and it is simply re-
markable what it has done Tor me. I.
can eat anything I want and every
thing agrees with me perfectly. I am
never troubled with gas or bloatine,
those severe pains are gone entirely
and never have any trouble in
breathing. and can lie down and sleep
as peaceful as child. I haven't had
the headache since I began taking
Tanlac. and the rheumatism has en-
tirely left me. I have also regained
my lost strength and am able to do all
my own housework with the greatest
case. Tanlac has done so much for
me am only too glad to recommend
It to others"

The Marquesas, fiercest cannibals
among the Polynesians in the South
Pacific, are disappearing. A. few
years ago they numbered more than
$4,000. The last census showed only
5000 survivors.
+ Opium, introduced BY white men
into the, Marquesas Islands, the most

the approaching extinction of this
race. This drug is no longer sold in

Physically the Marquesas were
magnificent. Before tatooing was
forbidden the bodies of the natives
were adorned by the most intricate
and beautiful designs, and some Of
these may yet be seen. Although they
had a number of admirable qualities,
the Marquesas in the olden days con-
stantly engaged in tribal wars with
the consequent feasts Of human flesh.

been carried away when he was very
young by the Hawk.
Since that time the young Rabbit
had learned much. The Hunters
hound was not able to catch him now,
because he knew how to sidestep and
retrace his tracks. and this always
learned how to stop quickly when
being chased. and hug the ground SO
closely that the enemy would pass
over him before he could stop. All
of these things had been learned
