Literary Career =

the late John Esten Cooke. of

Virginia fans and students Of
Southern literature, particularly
that of Virginia, will make no
mistake in getting this book. The
author understands his subject.
He presents a clear story Of the
life and achievements of John
Esten Cooke, and presents it in
most charming style. Cooke,
while the mos. prolific Virginia
writer of al time. is probably the
! least known, at least by readers
and students Of the present day.
DR.. Beatty points out that
Cooke exploited Virginia and
Virginia traditions more faithful
~ than any other writer. He
says: Cooke YVES undoubtedly
the most representative Virgin
ian who has earned livelihood
by writing He did for Virginia
what Cooper did for the Indians;
Simmons for South Carolina; lr-
wing for New York; Hawthorne
for New England. He was not
an imitator. but originated his
style, and while not of the "high
brow" class, his work probably
appeals to the people as whole
more than that of any writer
since his day.
He wrote thirty-one books from
1854 to 1885, among them being
Leather Stockings and Silk"
Life of Stonewall Jackson
Life of Robert f. Lee" "Wear-
ing of the Gray" "Stories of the
Old Dominion" Virginia. "The
Marine Mystery.
He contributed sixty-three es-
says, poems and editorials to the
Southern Literary Messenger and
a large number of articles TO
Putnam's Monthly. Harper's and
Appleton's. His work is, SAYS
DR.. Beatty. second to Poe in lit
erary achievement and intrinsic
Importance, and more volumi-
nous. According to his historian
Cooke has handed down the ira
ditions of Virginia. and has adj
ded glory through his literary
efforts to the great glory of the
people themselves. more than all
other Virginia writer's. with
Mary Johnston meagerly follow
ing the example.

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
it's 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
so 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 applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root 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, NJ Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this observation-disclosures

Poultry Manure Is Most
Valuable as Fertilizer

Poultry manure contains fertilizlng
: constituents which would cost 20 to
rs cents as commercial fertilizers. The
average night droppings of hen are
80 to 40 pounds annually. A flock Of
100 hens at this rate would produce
$50 to SIS worth per year. To pre-
vent loss of the fertilizing constitu-
ents. sifted coal ashes may be used on
the dropping boards as an absorbent.
Wood ashes or lime should not be
mixed with the manure. AS poultry
manure is particularly adapted TO
gardening, poultry ralsers can often
dispose Of it at good price. Such
management will add a little to the
profits from the flock.

Graduate Nurse Finds

the sixth bottle she could eat absolute
ly anything she wanted without the
slightest bad after-effects.

could not eat got him started on
Tanlac and by the time he finished
three bottles he was eating ravenous-

Overcrowding of Fowls

Overcrowding Of poultry is one of

profit, is one Of the commonest STUN

GIANT LOCOMOTIVE
BUILT FOR P. R. R.
Is Forty-Five Per Cent. More Pow
erful Than Present Type
Of Locomotive

The Pennsylvania Railroad has just
completed at it's Altoona Works a
passenger locomotive of new type,
forty-five per cent more powerful
than its present standard heavy pas
senger engine, the Glass K-4s, Pacific
type. The new locomotive, known as
Class MI, is of the Mountain" type,
which has not heretofore been used
on the Pennsylvania. This type may
be distinguished from the Pacific
type by reason of having one more
pair of driving wheels.
The MI type has been designed in
anticipation Of the future demands
of the passenger service for more
powerful locomotives, and the one
locomotive just built will be thor
oughly tested in service to insure
that it will efficiently and econo-
mically meet the requirements. It is
expected that in coal and steam
economy, the MI will duplicate, in
the passenger service, the very salts
factory performance of the new Class
Ills locomotives in the freight SER
vice.
Higher boiler pressure, longer pis-
ton stroke land smaller diameter of
driving wheels are the principal fea-
lures which give the new engine
forty-five per cent increase in power
with an Increase of but twenty-five
per cent in weight, as compared
with the Glass KIDS locomotive. To
facilitate shop work and mainten-
ance, the front trailer trucks. and
certain other details of the new en-
CINE have just been made inter-
changeable with those of other clas-
ses Of passenger locomotives.
The MI has cylinders 81 inches in
diameter, with 80 Inch stroke, and
driving wheels " inches in diameter.
With boiler pressure of $50 pounds
per square inch, it develops tractive
or starting power Of 64,55O pounds.
In working order the locomotive and
tender weigh approximately $4,000
pounds. Their total length is "a feet
95s inches.

ton, D. c., on December 1 to watch
the Marine Corps football team from
Guantico, Va, come to grips with the
Third Army Corps eleven.
This will be the third time these
teams have met, the victory in the
first two contests being won by the
Marines. This year, however, both
teams have been built up to the maxi
mum degree Of strength, each comb
ing their ranks to find the very best
players and bending every energy to
score decisive victory in their con-
test Saturday.
The Marines have come through a
whirlwind season, holding their own
against some Of the best teams in the
country. Their record thus far shows
three victories, two defeats and one
tie game, the latter being played a.
gainst the strong Haskell Indians in
New York City on November II when
the Indians first Tailed fourteen
POINTS, only to have the score bal
anced by the Marines before the final
whistle blew.
The Army men have been taking on
all-comers, winning six hard-fought
games and recently defeating the
Scouting Fleet eleven at at Baltimore
by score of a. to Z. No pains have
been spared by either team to win this
contest, which as military football
classic equals in interest the Army
Navy game. Goettge, fullback of the
Marines, and Moves, star quarter
back of the Army, are likely to be the
mainstays of their respective teams.
Huge military spectacles, before
the game and between the halves are
being planned, and both teams prom.
Use contest that will stir the most
blase fan that ever watched a foot
ball battle.
