important to all Women
Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous. irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. BY enclosing ten cents to DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain 5itro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people ieshy, developing arms, neck
and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gtsts as bitro-phosphate. which is mex
pensive and Is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phospho-ic food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
fishing.
Increase in weight also carries with 1t
general improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thlnness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health;
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sieeplessness and general weakness, II
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

METHODS OF HANDLING HENS
Labor-Saving Appliances Are of Value
on Poultry Farm-orchard Fur
nishes Range.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In general the simplest methods of
handling poultry are best, especially
on general farms, where poultry is a
side issue, though such farms furnish
the bulk of the poultry production.
Labor-saving appliances are OF value
on poultry farms, but are not always
practical on general farms. Women
and children can do most Of the poul-
try work on a general farm and there
by release the labor of the men for
other farm work. On general farms,
place the poultry house convenient to
the dwelling house in order to save
steps.
One house holding from rs to $50
hens can be used to advantage, allow
Ing the hens free range all the time.
An excellent arrangement Is to have
the house near an orchard, which fur
nishes a good range for the hens. BY
allowing free range the hens will pick
up all the necessary green feed and
will also get a considerable amount
of their grain feed. Keep large hop
pers containing dry mash before the
hens constantly, so that 1t will be neces-
sary to feed the scratch grains only
once or twice daily. Very little more
labor is required in caring for flock
containing from 100 to $50 hens than
is required for from 80 to 100 hens,
provided all the hens are kept in one
house and have large free range.
A separate shed or room in the
laying house can be utilized to advsn-
tage for Matching chickens with hens,

PERISHED WITH THEIR RIDERS
Horses of Clusters Command Died as
BraveIy as Did the Soldiers

Stories Of equine courage and forti-
,ude displayed in the late war recall
that Of famous horse, Comanche, sole
survivor of the Custer massacre. Co.
manche was the mount of Captain
Keogh, a relative Of General Custer
He was found shortly after the mass
acre about days journey from the
battlefield. Suffering from seven PAD
wounds and very weak from loss OF
blood, it was at first despaired OF get
ting him back to camp. But the SOL
diers carried him on litter construct
ed of strong poles and army blankets.
Given the best Of treatment, he fully
recovered to receive an honorable dis
charge.
Cutters men used the bodies Of their
horses for barricade against the In
dams. AS they went into action on
horseback every horse was saddled, but
when Comanche was found he was
without even q bride, so 1t was sup
posed that the Indians. believing he
was too badly wounded to recover
stripped him and left him to die. Every
other horse was found In the heaps
of the slain.

Poultry on Range Requires Less Care.
setting as many hens as possible at
one time; this saves labor, as it takes
only a little while longer to care for
number of setting hens than for one
hen. Confine the setting hens to their
nests and allow them all to come off
at one time daily. An incubator may
be used for Matching the eggs and the
chicks may be put under hens for
brooding, especially early in the sea-
son. when it is difficult to get hens to
set as early as is desirable to produce
early chickens.
Raise the chickens under hens, put
ting from Is to 25 chickens with each
hen. and confine the hens to small
GOODS placed on good green sod, or
field Of some growing crop whereby
the young chickens will have free
range on fresh land. A considerable
number of hens with broOds of chick
ems can be kept In limited space
where the hens are. confined to the
cOops.
In sections where commercial hatch
cries exist the farmer can have his
eggs Matched there and thus save the
labor of Matching the chicks. These
chickens can be reared with hens,
or a stove brooder which will cover
from 200 to 400 chicks may be used to
good advantage, thereby saving labor
in feeding and caring for the chicks
and still allowing the young chickens
free range. By the use of these com
mercial hatcheries all the chickens can
be Matched at one time and the chick
ems can be brought out early in the
spring, at which time 1t is most profit
able to hatch and raise chickens.
