Was Fast Drifting Into the Fatal
Stages of Kidney Sickness.
Dr. Melvin M. I'ago, Pago Optical
Co.. Erie, Pa., writes:
"Taking too many Iced drinks In
New York in 1895 sent me home with
a terrible attack of kidney trouble.
I had acute congestion, sharp pain in
the back, head-
aches and attacks
of dizziness. My
eyes gave out,
and with the lan-
guor and sleep-
lessness of the
disease upon me
I wasted from liM
to 122 pounds. At
the time I started
using Doati's Kid-
ney 'Pills an abscess was forming on
my right kidney. The trouble was
quickly checked, however, and the
treatment cured me, so that 1 have
been well since 1896 and weigh 188
pounds."

WAISTCOATS FOR WOMEN
Supply the Necessary Bit of Color
to White Costumes
Women who love contrasts will be
pleased to learn that fancy waistcoats
will play an important part In the fall
and winter fa3lilo:is. Englishwomen
showed a tendency to adopt the waist-
roat last spring, hilt the stylo of tho
garment was hopeless from the
American point of view. Recently
Mrs. James A. Burden, Jr., who has
lienn in the limelight in Newport, and
whose gowns have been admired
greatly, has worn several dresses in
which the waistcoat formed an effsct.
One of tho most fascinating of these
costumes was of white serge, to
which a cherry-colored waistcoit
supplied the necessary bit of color.
A straw hat, trimmed with long-
stemmed cherries, was worn with the
gown.—New York Press.
Grave cf Patrick Henry
inquiry is made now and then as
io where Patrick Henry is burled.
The orator lies in a quiet grave on
the estate In Charlotte county, Va.,
where ho formerly lived. Red Hill
is tho name of the estate, which is
on .the Staunton river, thirty-eight
miles from Lynchburg. When Pat-
trick Henry bought the place it com-
prised about 3,600 acres. One of
the nearest neighbors was John Ran-
dolph of Roanoke, fifteen miles away.
Red Hill is now owned by Henry's
grandson, \Villl«m Wirt Henry.
Keeping Milk ir. Hot Weather.
The problem of keeping milk during
I the heated term is very much greater
| than that of keeping milk at any other
j time of the year. All bucterial life
thrives and the laws of bacterial life
have provided for enormous increase
of bacteria In a very short time under
Bummer temperatures. Conditions
that would permit milk to remain
sweet for 24 hours in the winter time
will result In milk turning sour in 12
hours in tho summer time. In the
winter time a poorly washed can
would infect the milk and result in
time In souring it. The multiplication
of the germs would be very slow, how-
ever, and most of the milk would be
used up before it had had time to
sour. In the summer it is necessary
that excessive care be taken In tile
washing of the milk vessels. They
should be first washed and rinsed iD
cold water, which washing will re-
move most of tho casein from the
sides of the vessels. If hot water is
used first it will result in coagulating
'.he casein, and the latter will stick to
the sides and seams. At ordinary
temperatures It is the butter fat that
sticks to the sides. Therefore It is
reasonable, after the casein has been
rinsed out, to detach the fat by the
use of boiling water. In cases where
the vessels of tin are not new, soda
should bo used in each can, as this
will .combine with the casein. It
should be made.certain that the water
is boiling hot and that it remains long
enough in the cans to destroy all germ
life. This may be assured by cover-
ing the cans, as by this means tho
heat will be retained for a long tiine;
Merely pouring hot water into the
cans and pouring it out again will
generally remove the traces of butter
fat, but will not necessarily destroy
all germ life. After the hot water
has been poured from the cans, they
should be again rinsed in cold water
and then sunned. This sunning is
very important, and is made much of
by the condensing companies. They
prescribe rules that must be followed
by the men that supply them with
milk, and one of these rules is that
in summer time these cans must be
exposed for hours to the penetrating
rays of tho sun. If one will, in hot
weather, go through a dairy region
ihat,is engaged particularly in supply-
ing milk to the large condensers, he
will gee everywhere rows of cans on-
racks and scaffolds so placed that the
sun's rays will enter the interiors.
The sunlight is germicidal in its ef-
fects. Cleanliness is the first requis-
ite of milk keeping. The second is
cold. The milk should be cooled as
quickly as possible, and to as low a
temperature as possible, and placed in
i room or in water that is cold. These
simple principles lie at the bottcun of
<ceplng milk In summer.

THE TURN OF
A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many
Dread Diseases—Intelligent Women Prepare
for It. Two Relate their Experience.
WRONG SORT
Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes nd
Bread may Be Against You for a
Time.
A change to the right kind of food
can lift one from a sick bed. A lady
In Welder, 111., says:
"Last Spring I became bed-fast with
severe stomach trouble accompanied
by sick headache. I got worse and
worse until I became so low 1 could
scarcely retain any
though I tried every Kind. 1 had be-
come completely discouraged, had giv-
en up all hope and thought I was
doomed to starve to death, till one
day my husband trying to find some-
thing I could retain brought home
Bomo Grape-Nuts.
"To my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with-
out distress. I began to gain strength
at once, my flesh (which had beea
flabby) grew firmer, my health im-
proved in every way and every day,
and in a very few weeks I gained 20
rounds in weight. I liked Grape-Nuts
so well that for 4 months I ate no
other food, and always felt as well sat-
isfied after eating as if I had sat down
to a fine SanqueL
"I bad no return of the miserable
sick stomach nor of the headaches,
that I used to have when I ate other
food. I am now a well woman, doing
all my own work again, and feel that
life is worth living.
"Grape-Nuts food has been a god-
send to my family; it surely saved my
life ted my two little boys have thriv-
en on it wonderfully." Name given

Drinking Places in the Cow Pasture.
Cows are animals that seem to pr
fer dirty water to clean. The cow is
the only farm animal that will drink
warm water from mud puddles in
preference to cool water from water-
ing troughs. It is therefore necessary,
if we desire the cow to drink pure
water, to deprive her of sources of
supply of impure water. The obnox-
ious weeds that surround the driuk-
iug places In the cow pastures are
frequently the source of taints In
mill;, especially when such weeds in-
clude garlic and wild onions. The
elimination of these polluted drinking
places in tho pastures will to a very
large extent take away from the cow
the Inducement to sample these ob-
noxious weeds. It is always desir-
able to give the cow only pure water,
a.s In many cases the stagnant water
in the pastures is a source of contam-
ination to the milk supply. Ilere and
there are cases of stringiness or ropl-
food at all. al- I ness in milk. On investigation it has
been found that tils abnormal condi-
tion of the milk was produced by mi-
uuto fungi, which vere found to thrive
in stagnant pools. Some scientists
.ay that tho spores of the fungi pass
through the cow and into the milk
•lucts, while others declare that the
udders of the cow come into contact
with the stagnant pools and that from
he outside of these udders the spores
tall into the milk pails when the milk
is being drawn. By whichever way
I he spores reached the milk is of no
particular interest. As the staguant
water was the source of contamina-
,lon in either case, tho prevention of
such accUknts requires the ellnilua-
;ion in the pastures of all vsh drink-
ing places.—Elmer Ashtun, Bureau
Co. 111., iu Farmers' Review,
of swine at the small and large fairs
of the country have done a great deal
of good in teaching farmers the types
of the various pure breeds of swine end
in stimulating them' td attempt the im-
provement of their home herd and
fully develop the pigs by adequate
feeding and good qare, such as is
given to show anlmdls by the profes-
sional exhibitor and iiis assistants, it
is no less true that the exhibits at
most of the state fairs are growing un-
wieldy and less instructive to visitors
than would be the case •vere 50 or CO
per cent of the animals excluded from
the exhibition. Breeders evidently
bring far more hogs to the fair than
they have any intention of showing,
and indeed many men show but three
four hogs out of an entry of per-
hap.\ ten to twenty head. This, we
think is correct, but we may be a
little off as to exact figure^. The
principle is at least correct, in that
many of the hogs entered are not
brought forward for competition, but
are merely brought to the fair with
;he hope of finding a purchaser. This
is all right for the breeder and per-
haps good for the prospective buyer in
a few instances, but it is not for the
general good of the visitor, who
wants the best possible chance to see
the best hogs and compare them, so
that he may learn correct lessons as
to best types and improvements that
are being made from year to year in
the various breeds of swine.
Times are changing. The time was
was when the number of head of swine
at a show was taken as the criterion
of success. The management came to
the conclusion that where a great
many breeders and a vast number of
swine came together there surely
would be the best possible aggrega-
tion of swine for the education of the
farming public. But they erred In
this estimate, for we have seen a bet-
ter show of swlne where but two or
three hundred were exhibited than
was the case where a thousand head
crowded the buildings to overflowing.
When but a few hundred were shown
they Tvere the pick of the breedcy*'
home lot of hogf Now that many
(hundreds ~a?e" shown a few of thacn
are fine specimens, and the majority
are of medium or inferior quality and
brought forward to sell. It is good
that the breeder has an opportunity
to sell his hogs at the state fair, but it
is unfortunate that the present
methiid of exhibiting allows the ex-
hibitor to fill any number of pens he
el. res to pay for and with any kind of
hog he fancier will sell to good ad-
vantage. Wef do not desire to cur-
tail the opportunities of the breeder,
but we do w«h ta improve those of
the visitor ana student.
To this end the management of
every fair should set apart accommo-
datious for hogs Intended for sale, but
not l'#r show. The houses for show
hogs should ba, kept clean, well dis-
infected, deodorized and ventilated, so
that visitors may go the rounds In
comfort, and the hogs be less exposed
to the ravages of contagious disease.
Into these show houses a single ex-
hibitor should not be allowed to put
more than sufficient swine to give him
one, or at most, two or three, candi-
dates for honors in each event. Were
this done the visitor could then make
an intelligent, study of the winners,
and, by lookiftg at the pick of the
swine, would best educate himself to
improvements taking place in types
and among the different breeds. '1 ha
work of the judges would also ba
greatly lessened, for it takes time to
weed #ut the poor hogs until the good
ones remain to be given the prizes.
Another necessary improvement in
connection with the exhibition of hogs
at the state fairs is better drainage
of the sites of the hog.houses. At
some fairs should a rain come, the
ground about the hog houses is speed-
ily trampled to a mtish and visitors
can not get about comfortably with-
out rubber boots. It would be a com-
paratively easy matter to properly
drain such places and to provide side-
walks built high enough above the
ground to keep them from becoming
water-logged and mud-covercd during
a wet spell. Lastly it will be well
when hogs can be housed according
to classes as well as breeds, but much
simpler things have to be properly at-
tended to before such a radical meas-
ure as this can be instituted.—A S
Alexander in Farmers' Review.
The "chanpe of lifc"is
the most critical period
of a woman's existence,
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman v 'io
neglects the care of ner
health at this time in-
vites disease and pain.
When lier system is in
a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten-
dency is at this period
likely to become active
—an d with a host of ner-
vous irritations, make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warning symp-
toms as sense of suffo-
cation, hot flashes, head-
aches backaches, dread
of impending evil, timid-
ity, sounds in the ears,
palpitation of the heart,
sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipa-
tion, variable appetite,
weakness and inquie-
tude, and dizziness, are
promptly heeded by in-
telligent women who are
approaching the period
in life when woman's great change
may be expectcd.
These symptoms are all just so many
calls from nature for help. The nerves
are crying out for assistance and the
cry should be heeded in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound was prepared to meet the needs
of woman's system at this trying
period of her life. It invigorates and
strengthens the female organism and
builds up the weakened nervous system.
It has carried thousands of women
