Jake Shlnn's "Dress Reform"
Jake Shlnn is urging a new depar-
dre in women's garb for wear on
windy days. "I got the idea while
driving on the east side this morn-
ing," he told a reporter. "I saw a
woman hoeing in her garden. The
wind was blowing in the old fash-
ioned Kansas style, but it didn't an-
noy her a bit. She had fastened an
Iron barrel hoop around the bottom
of her dress. Every woman who has
occasion to go out on the street on
windy days ought to follow her ex-
ample. It is an idea in dress reform
that I am proud to help further."
Mr- Shinn, who is best known as a
chronic bachelor, was asked if he
would marry the first single woman
who would adopt his style of dress
reform, but he side-stepped from
habit. The Republic Is in a position
to assure any good looking girl that if
she will wear the new hoop skirt
down Main street and past the office
of Mr. Shinn that he will come to
time, all right. Mr. Shinn owns sev
eral acres of fine land, has monSy in
bank and is good looking. Now is
some enterprising girl's opportunity.

Clover Dodder (Cuscuta).
Some readers of the Farmers' Re-
view may have noticed queer bright
small blossomed plants growing on
other plants. Some of these are the
dodders. Awhile ago a lady found one
of these growing on dogwood and

back at work again and he does not

"Yes," Mr. McLean says "I was too
bad, I had lo quit. I could not stand
sn my feet for the necessary hours,
(t was Kidney Disease I had, and a
friend advised me to try Dodd s Kid
coy Pills. I did so and after uslnp;
six boxes am completely cured and
im working as steadily as before I

They always cure Brlght's Disease,
the most most advanced and deadly

New Yorkers Dying Fast
Dr. John H. Girdner of New York
I says of that city: "At the present
time New York Is not reproducing
itself. We are all living swiftly and
[dying swiftly. Were it not for the
Influx from out of town the decrease
would soon be noted. But as it is,
for one New Yorker that dies two
strangers take up their abode in the
| city, and thus the loss is not noticed.
New Yorkers are driving themselves
and are being driven like beasts of
burden. They are working like dyna-
mos all day, playing like idiots all
light"

dence In yourself than too much In

Annual Passes for Employees
The Frisco Railway company, in
consideration of long service of the
I conductors and engineers, has ar-
j ranged to grant annual passes over
I the division to those who have been
working continuously for the road for
[ fifteen years. An annual pass over
the entire system will be given to
those who have been employed for
twenty years, and for twenty-five
years' service an annual pass for the
employee and his wife Is given. Grant-
ing passes under these conditions be-
comes effective at once.
Alabastine —
Your
Walls
iaa
■
Grows 8lx Inches a Day.
Catalpa grows at the rate of a thlru
of an inch in diameter a year on good
soil, says a writer in Country Life in
America. There are fine summer days
when the sprouts on a stump of sturdy
root growth will grow six inches In- the
twenty-four hours. You can see cat-
alpa grow, you can hear It grow.
A woman's tongue is mightier than
I a man's strong right arm.
Alabasiina produces exquisitely
beautiful effects on walls and ceil-
ings. Easy to apply, simply mix
with cold water. Better than katso-
mine, paint or wait paper. It is not a
kalsomine, it is a sanitary, perman-
ent, cement coating, which hardens
on the walls, destroying disease
germs and vermin, never rubbing or
scaling. Kalsomines mixed with
either hot or cold water soon rub
and scale off, spoiling walls, clothing
and furniture. They contain glue,
which decays and nourishes the
germs of deadly disease.
If 7our dranlst or hardware dealer
will not let AlaUltina, refuse sub-
stitutes and imitations and order of
us- Send for free sample of tints
and information about decoratinc.

BABY CAME NEAR DYING.
It was pronounced to be dodder. There
Is one variety of this plant that thrives
on clover. The little plants twine
about the clover plant and kill it.
They resemble tangles of yellow fibers
without leaves or conspicuous bios
soms. Some seed of dodder has beer,
at times Introduced into the fields of
clover in the clover seed. In such a
case they always prove to be a great
nuisance. They should be extermi-
nated ruthlessly, but we as yet know
little about exterminating this plant
when it attacks a field numerously.—

"It's Value."
Find inclosed money order foi BO
cents, for which please mall one box
of Hunt's Cure. It is worth its weight
in gold to me.
C. M. JOHNSON,
8 Adams street,
July 17, 1904. Memphis, Tenn.
Wo have many similar letters.
Hunt's Cure is for skin trouble of all
kinds, and to thoso afflicted, is worth
its weight in gold, as Mr. Johnson
nays.
Fine sensibiilTTes are Mke wood-
bines, delightful luxuries of beauty to
twine round a solid, upright stem of
understanding; but very poor things,
if unsustained by strength, they are
left to creep along the ground.-John

An Oat Experiment.
In a test In England, an un
manured plot produced oats at
the rate of 27 bushels and 1,904
pounds of straw per acre. The
application of 336 pounds of super-
phosphate per acre brought up the
yield to 34 bushels of oats and 2,350
pounds of straw. When the same
amount of superphosphate and 112
pounds of nitrate of soda were added
the yield was 41 buBhels of oats and
2,688 pounds of straw. When super-
phosphate was applied and 224 pounds
of nitrate of soda In two dressings
the yield was 47 bushels of oats and
3,136 pounds of straw. In each case
the gain was double in value the cost
of the fertilizers used.
Value of Corn Silage.
A great deal of the value of
corn silage comes from the fact
that it Is succulent. This suc-
culence Is preserved In the silage and
makes it easily digestible. No amount
of soaking or adding water to It In
any way can make the dry corn stalk
like the fresh one. Nature puts the
water into the stalk in a so?t of com-
bination that It cannot make except
when put in by the help of active and
developing cells. When the cells dry
out and become hard, the water can
never "again penetrate them, and that
Is why water cannot make the dried
stalk fresh again, no matter at what
season it is cu*
GREAT CHANGE
From Change In Food.
The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup-
pose until we take thought in the mat-
ter. Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands. A notable housewife in Buf-
falo writes:
'The doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a 'nervous affection of the stom-
ach.' I was actually so nervous that
I could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper, and to attend
to my household duties was simply
Impossible. I doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good.
"My physician put me on all sorts
of diet, and I tried many kinds of
cereal foods, but none of them agreed
with me. I was almost discouraged,
and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so
with many misgivings—I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
'But it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad I am that I tried It.
1 feel like a new person, I have gain-
ed In weight and I don't have that
terrible burning sensation In my stom-
ach any more. I feel so strong
again that I am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to Irritate
me so, I never notice now, and my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure."

Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild smd strengthen the
nerve centers In these organs. It Is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that Is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on GrapeNuts
food v/hlch is more than half digested
In the process of manufacture and is
rich In the phosphate of potash con-
tained In the natural grain, which
unites with albumen and water—the
snly three substances that will make
up the soft gray filling In the thou-
sands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a
sure road back to health in all such
eases.
^rom an Awful Skin Humor—
—Scratched Till Blood Ran—
Wasted to a Skeleton-
Speedily Cured by
Cutlcura.
When three months old ray boy
broke out with an itching, watery
rash all over his body, and he would
seratch till the blood ran. We tried
nearly everything, but he grew worse,
wasting to a skeleton, and we feared
he would die. He slept only when
in our arms. The first application of
Cutlcura soothed him so that he slopt
in his cradle for the first time tn many
weeks. One set of Cutlcura made a
complete and permanent cure.
