not only one of the most prevalent but is one of the most difficult to treat of all present-day diseases, and has for years baffled the skill of leading specialists. It is almost all ways followed by complication of diseases. One of the first is torpid liver with biliousness. followed by headaches. coated tongue dizzy spells, pain in the back. palpitation of the heart. and other distressing symptoms. Soon other organs of the body become involved and various diseases develop and become chronic if not checked in time. - The first symptoms of stomach disorder, such as gas, sourness, constipation, foul breath, fullness Safter eating, pains in the stomach, headache, tired out feeling, lack of energy. should be the signal for prompt and decisive ac- tion.
 Tens of thousands of men and women, of all ages and in all walks of life, afflicted with stomach and liver disorders. some of them of long standing. as we'll as thousands of weak, thin, nervous men and women apparently on the verge of collapse, have testified publicly that they have been fully restored to the enjoyment of perfect health by taking Tanlac. Tens of thousands have not only been relieved of the most obstina! !e forms of dyspepsia and indigestion by Tanlac after other remedies had failed. but many of them have re- ported remarkable and rapid in- crease in weight along with their re- turn to normal health and strength.
 This is the reason Tanlac con- tinues, year after year. to have the largest sale of any medicine of it's kind in the world

 She wheeled round to confront the purser, who was smiling.
 "Thanks. I'll run up" To his dis appointment, she vanished before there was time for further conversa- ticn.
 It was as he had said, except that Camille considered he had eXagger- ated the "craziness" of these morn ing gymnasts. The idea of little exercise before breakfast time ap- pealed to her. Therefore she watched with interest while a line of 10 or 12 passengers ran round and round the deck, headed by hard faced gentleman in a flannel shirt and trousers, who urged them on.
 Why don't you tag on at the end purser, who had followed her up the last staircase, and who never dreamed that she would do anything of the sort.
 Just then a stout and perspiring man at the tail of the line flung out an acquisitive arm and grabbed Ca mille so that-to her own amusement she found herself falling into step.
 "One, two, three, hopl One, two, three, hopw roared the c. O. of the enthusiasts. He had been 8 drill in- structor in the navy, and was per emptory in his commands.
 Immediately the line commenced their ludicrous little step dance.

 The purser rushed to her assis- ance. He, too, was laughing, as he helped her up.
 "That'r be enough for one morn ing, won't it?' he rallied her. Then, as a gong boomed out; That's table, l believe"
 So Camille descended.
 She found Dolly already in the sa- loon, gazing about. her with consid- erable interest.

 There were one or two pretty girls up on the boat deck, doing early morning jerks" said Camille hopefully. They're evidently no: down yet"
 A shadow crossed the undeniably pretty face of little Mrs. Mortimer. Then, resolutely, she said:
 "Oh, poof. Who cares for athletic, mannish girls. anyway, wouldn't waste my time in deck games or anything of that sort so don't expect it of me, please
 The captains entry put an end to further comment. And Dolly was all smiles at once.

NIADUCT HAS NO EFFECT ON
THE CLIMATE OF EUROPE

The Flagler viaduct to Key West
has no effect on the Gulf Stream. on
conditions in the North Atlantic O.
cean, nor on the climate or weather
Of western Europe, the Weather Blu
reau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says positively.
notwithstanding recent press asser-
tons to the contrary. There is no
record of any apreciable changes hay
ing occurred in the Gulf Stream other
than the slight notifications that oc-
cur in all oceanic currents These
have no effect on the climate of Eur
ope except as the general tempera-
lures of the waters of the ocan are
raised or lowered with the fuctua-
tons in the temperatures and
strength of these ard other currents
as a whole.
The extension of the Florida Coast
railroad over the so-called Flagler
viaduct to Key West can have no
possible effect on the force, strength.
or temperature of the Gulf Stream
itself. The Flagler viaduct is a mas
onry arch railway structure carrying
transportation over the very shallow
shores and keys of the Florida PENN
sula. At no point is the relative
depth Of the water more than a few
feet. The real channel Of the Gulf
Stream is far to the south of this
shallow shore line. and it is certain
that the footings of the viaduct can
have no effect whatever on the chan
mel between Florida and Cuba, where
the Gulf Stream starts on its course
from the Gulf of Mexico into the At
lantic Ocean.
The climate of western Europe is
influenced very greatly by the ocean
ic conditions existing to the westward
because in this portion of the North
ern Hemisphere the general trend of
atmospheric motions is from the
west eastward. 1t is obvious that
the vast body Of relatively warm wa
ter west of Europe necessarily con
tributes to mild and humid climatic
conditions.

CULLING TO INCREASE
EGG PRODUCTION.

A sure means of increasing egg
production by proper culling is given
in an exhibit entitled make your
poultry pay" shown by the United
States Department of Agriculture at
the international Livestock Fxposi-
tics, Chicago, December 2 to 9.
Two pens Of live chickens are
shows. One lot of 70 hens was not
culled and ate in one year 900 pounds
of feed, costing 5000. The - hens
laid 100 dozen eggs during the year.
Contrasted with this lot is one Of 3
hens which were culled, and which
laid the same number of eggs but ate
only 500 pounds Of feed, at a cost Of
$3.50. The lot of u hens that was
not culled ate so per cent more feed
than the LOT that was culled and pro
duced no more eggs. The extra cost
Of feed, however. is but one of the
larger costs. Others are the extra
labor, extra housing room. and extra
capital invested.
To enable the poultiyman 10 Gull
his hens properly the exhibit gives
the points TO be looked for when de-
telmining a poor layer or a good lay
err, These points are quickly learned
and are means Of increasing profits
from poultry.
