A brood sow should be fed a varie-

feeds must be supplied.
The pig may not use its tail for
switching away tlie llles, and It may
require some feed to make the tail

that giving a pig a variety ot good

of the tail or the slitting of Its ears.

Cured by Cuticura for $1.50.
"When my little boy was two and a
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema. It was the itchy,
watery kind and wo had to keep his
littlo hands wrapped up all the time,
and if he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face fill
the blood streamed down on his cloth-
ing. We called in a physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when it. was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. I was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that I almost felt sure the disease
was Incurable. But, finally reading of
the good results of the Cuticura Rem-
edies, I determined to try them. I
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for I bought only a dollar
and a half's worth of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills), and Ihey did more good than
all my doctors' medicines I had tried,
and in fact entirely cured him. . His

Many Were in the Same Boat.
According to the Saturday Evening
Post, this is a story heard with much
glee by congress during the last days
of the Roosevelt administration:
During the recent cold spell in
Washington, a man, shivering and
ragged, knocked at the door of a K
suoet house and said to the lady:
"Please, madam, give me something j
to eat. I am suffering severely from
exposure."
"You must be more specific." the ,
lady replied. "Are you a member of |
the senate or of the house?"
BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHE.
Usually Therj Are Other Troubles to
Prove It.
Pain in the back is pain in the kid-
neys, in most cases, and it points to
the need of a spe-
cial remedy to re-
move and cure the
congestion or in-
flammation of the
kidneys that is in-
terfering with their
work and causing
that pain that
makes you say:
"Oh, my back."

kins, professional

time I was annoyed with sharp twinges
across the small of my back and ir-
regular passages of the kidney secre-
tions. Since using Doan's Kidney Pill3,

Dorothy and the Stork.
When little Dorothy Walworth was
introduced to her baby brother in the
First .Methodist Episcopal Parsonage
in Yonkers, N. Y., she manifested in-
tense interest, but was not astonished.
"I knew he was coming," she ex-
claimed; "I knew it."
Pressed for an explanation, the five-
year-old said: "1 wa3 down to the
Bronx zoo the other day and saw
the stork in his cage. I recognized
him by the black stripes on his wings
that papa said were there. Well, when
Hie stork was standing alone on one
leg, 1 went close to him and whispered
in his ear that I wanted him to bring
me a baby brother or sister. He didn't
say anything, but I knew he would do
it, because he bent his head toward
me and winked an eye."
Not Asking Much.
"The president," explained one of
the secretaries, "can't stop at Plunk-
ville on his swing around the circle.
In fact, my good man, we are sched-
uled to go through Plunkville at 60
miles an hour."

Joke Medicine.
He Is a very practical, serious- '
minded man of business. The other
day he met a friend, and related to
him an alleged joke, and at its con-
clusion laughed long and heartily.
The friend looked awkward for a j
moment, and then said:
"You'll have to excuse me, old man,
but 1 don't see the point."
"Why, to tell you the truth, 1 don't !
just see the point myself. But I've |
made it a rule to laugh at all jokes;
I think it's good for the health."
Good to Her Husband.
"George, dear," said Mrs. Dovekins,
who had come downstairs in time to
pour the coffee, "I'm going to walk to
the car with you this morning. Aren't
you glad?"
"Very glad, indeed, lovey. It's so
nice of you to think of me and to
get up early for the purpose of making !
it unnecessary to walk those dismal ;
three blocks alone. How much do you j
want ?"
A BANKER'S NERVE
Broken by Coffee and Restored by
Postum.
A banker needs perfect control of
the nerves, and a clear, quick, accu-
rate brain. A prominent banker of
Chattanooga tells how he keeps him-
self in condition:
"I'p to 17 years of age 1 was not 1
allowed to drink coffee, but as soon as
I got out In the world 1 began to use
It and grew very fond of it. For some
years 1 noticed no bad effects from its
use, but in time it began to affect me
unfavorably. My hands trembled, the
muscles of my face twitchcd. my men-
tal processes seemed slow and in other
ways my system got out of order.
These conditions grew so bad at last
that I had to give tip coffee altogether.
"My attention having been drawn to
Postum, 1 began its use on leaving off
the coffee, and it gives me pleasure to
testify to its value. I find it a delicious
beverage; like it just as well as I did
coffee, and during the years that 1
have Used Postum I have been free
from the distressing symptoms that ac-
companied the use of coffee. The nerv-
ousness has entirely disappeared, and
I am as steady of hand as a boy of
25, though I am more than 92 years
old. 1 owe all this to Postum."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis-
eased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness la caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mueoua lining ot tip- Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im-
perfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed. Deaf-
ness is the result, and unlrss the inflammation ran be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine rises
out of ten are caused by Caiarrli, whicn is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

A "run down" condition is
generally due to the failure of
the digestive organs to properly
digest the food. Dr. D. Jayne's
Vermifuge tones up the digestive
organs so that they supply the
body with proper nourishment,
and in this way bring about last'

simply supply food material in
predigested form, and conse-
quently are only effective as
long as the tonic is taken.
