True Love Creates Annetit.


Any emotion that gives pleasure acts
healthily on the heart and other or
gans, the circulation becomes more
brisk, and appetite and health i'm
prove, Love, hope, and happiness all
produce these emotions and, contrary
to the accepted notion, the ardent
lover ought to enjoy his meals thor
oughly' Despair, grief and fear have
quite another effect. They make the
action Of the heart slower and en-
feeble the nervous and muscular sys-
TENS, often upsetting the digestion as
well. The muscles for the time being
are taut and tense, and the secretion
OF bile Is increased. A reaction follows
rapidly, when muscles become fiabby
and a feeling of weakness pervades
the body.

Picturesque Scenes and Incidents Of
Which Few New Workers Have
Any knowledge.

Brooklyn bridge at midnight Is as
fascinating as the ten-twenty and thir-

There is the roar of a hundred lcity
notes.-the clang Of the elevated, the
cry Of the train guards, the shrill-
voiced newsies and what not, o. o.

mercial-Tribune.
Home-rushing Flatbushers, return
Ing COney Islanders, midnight workers
enjoying the lunch hour, dereicts of
the night who are drawn by the busy
hum Of life-all give romantic shades
to this picturesque spot hard by the
inky black and brooding East river.
From the bridge one may see dimly
outlined BlackwelPs island, with SEN
tinels patrolling along the walls.
Down under the bridge many saw
dust-carpeted eating places still sur
vive. They are frequented by hardy
customersLmen with hair on their
chest, who have been around the Horn
on windjammers; newspaper huskies,
who hold their corners by the might
of fists, and quite sprlnkling of petty
criminals, snarkers and SWITCHES.
Mother Marge, a wrinkled old crone,
still ladies out her bean soup from a
dirt-incrusted tureen. She cackIes like
the bag of the old Broadway melo-
drama that is gone. Her smile even
strikes terror, revealing as it does
blacks rows of teeth and cunning Gu
pidity. When not ladling soup she is
using snuff and reading paper-back
novels.
Pegleg Timmins has his oyster bar
near by. He lost his right leg trying
to emulate Steve Brodie in a leap off
the bride. He struck a girder going
down and doesn't remember what hap
pened after that. He cuts his pipe to-
bacco off plug and has a silver plate
in his head, brought about by a first

Down in Franklin street there are a
few restaurants whose patronage is
mostly printers from Newspaper row.
Franklin street booms with noise by
day as giant dray horses strike fire
from cobblestones pulling great loads,

country churchyard. East on Park
Row the eating places and pool halls
are light with mercury lights and have
the glitter of Broadway-and are al
most as noisy.

cow TESTING is NECESSARY
Wisconsin Farmer Makes Concise Re
port of His Experience to the
Dairy Division.

What the cow-testing work has
meant to one Wisconsin farmer was
stated so simply and concisely in a
report to. an agent of the dairy divi-
sion, United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, that it is worth passing
along. This farmer says:
1.-THE COW testing in the west section
Of Outagamie county has been carried
on with marked success.
1--WE have become better acquainted.
The man who has been taking good
care of his cows has also become bet
ter known.
1--WE have learned to know our cows
not by what they seemed but by what
they actually are, to understand the
necessity of selecting heifer calves
from our best cows to be raised for
our future herd.
'We have learned to look on the
dairy COW not as a necessary part OF
our personal property but a real live
machine, capable of returning values
plus, and that plus depending
largely upon the care, feed, and breed.

Treasures IN Wasts-Paper Baskets.
Life Is one long treasure hunt for
those who sort the waste paper pur-
chased by the large waste-paper com
panies that now exist in many Amer
lean cities. The waste paper itself is
valuable, but this article has little to
do with that portion Of the treasure
trove. Beside the waste paper there
are the many and varied articles that
separate themselves from their right
full owners, and eventually find their
way into the hands Of the waste-paper
sorters. If some Of the hotel mana
gers Of the country could see the
amount Of fine linen, servIettes, hand
towels, etc, that they lose in this
manner, they would be very much sur
prised. Dry goods stores lose thou
sands Of dollars worth of stuff every
year in this manner, the articles rang
ing from silk blouses to small pieces
Of lace.

Testing Associations Uncover High
Producers.

1000 cows each. Ordinarily the num-
Der of cows in an association runs from
300 to 500, the average for the coun-
try being 429. The number of herds
average 24.8. To have more than one
tester is California practice, and one
association in that state has three. In
contrast to the large associations in
California and a few elsewhere, there
are some that are quite small. One
in Massachusetts has 8 members
and 125 cows; another in Kansas has
10 members and SO cows; and in
Michigan there is one with 4 herds
and only 45 cows.
The use of cooperative cow-testing
associations has resulted in great i'm
prOVement in the quality of the dairy
COWS in the localities where they have
been organized by reason Of the sift-
Ing out of the low producers and the
discovery Of good cows that might
otherwise have been sacrificed.
The United States Department of
Agriculture collects statistics of all
the cow-testing associations and is
sues a directory Of all those that are
active on July 1 each year. 1t also
assists in the organization Of asso-
Citations, working through the county
agent If there is one in the commu-
nifty.

overIappina Wateraheda

South America is distinguished
among all the continents for the abb
sence of clearly defined watersheds be-
tween the great river basins. From
the Orinoco delta to the Rio de IA
Plata estuary there is almost a con
tinuous overlapping Of these basins. In
southern Venezuela where the country
thrusts a political peninsula into
northern Brazil below the town OF
Esmeraldo, the waters Of the upper
Orinoco suddenly decide to part COM
pany, some of them reaching the Anna

somewhere about bricklayers and fac

much easier. With the photograph

England was very far from sIlesia ID

Prussia for their ally and sometimes
the Empress Maria Theresa, better

more prudent inn-keeper kept two

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t 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
apples 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, a
preparation 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 a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kllmer's SwampRoot 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.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.: Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this

DAIRY
FACTS
CONTRASTING ASSOCIATIONS
Where Organized Decided improve
ment Has Been Noted In Quality
of Dairy Herds.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricwture)
The practice of testing cows to de
termine their milk and butter-fat pro-
duction and feed consumption by
means of cow-testing associations has
become widespread. There are now
452 associations of this kind in the
United States, besides many in foreign
countries. In most cases each associa-
ton has one tester and no more cows
than can be well handled, but there
are some very large ones and some
that are much smaller than the stand
ard. The theoretical number of men,
bers in a cow-testing association is 26,
which makes one member for the test
Ell to visit each working day of the
month. A member Of such an associa-
ton is supposed to have not more
than 80 cows, as that makes a large
days work. If every member had
that number, there would be $50 cows
in the association, but few of them
have that many.
There is no definite relation between
the number of members in an associa-
ton and the number of COWS owned.
In California there is one association
that tests 1000 cows and another that
tests 4,400, and the number of men,
bers are, respectively, 46 and 100. An
other in the same state has Sc men,
bers and only 1,439 cows; there are

STERILIZATION is ESSENTIAL

ETC., Should Be Steamed for
Five Minutes.

Milk viii keep better and make bet
ter products if all pals. strainers, and
separator parts are sterllized, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Use live steam for five minutes.
If you cannot get live steam, boil all
utensils for at least five minutes. A
simple steam sterilizer for dairy aten-
sis, which can be made by local
tinsmith, is described in Farmers Bull
letin 74s, "a Simple Steam Sterfllzer
for Farm Dairy Utensils" The bulle-

The shrleklna Cat

The Canada lynx, or loupcervier, is
in the habit Of uttering horrifying
shrieks when it is hunting. 1t is sur.
missed that the shrieks are for the
purpose of terrifying the animals for
a long distance around so that the
lynx may detect their whereabouts by
their stealthy movements. This is
contrary to the habits of most members
Of the cat tribe, which stalk their prey
in utter silence.
