GOOD COLOR
GOOD HEALTH
Is What Cardui Gave to This Ala-
bama Lady, According to Her
Statement Printed Below.
Clio, Ala.—"I had been In good health
until 1 was 15 years old," writes Mrs.
A. L. Snell, of R, V. D. No. 1, this
place, "but one day... I was helping
my father plant cotton In the field and
was caught In the rain.. . At that time
I got very III... 1 Buffered great agony
In the lower abdomen, right side, and
had dreadful sick headache, also pains
In the back... 1 got dreadfully thin
and simply gave entirely up. 1 had to
go to bed and was there, on my back,
tor two weeks.
“Dr. -said I'd have to have an
•peratlon. I wouldn't hear to that, ao,
as my mother had used Cardui with
great benefit... she recommended that
I take Cardui... Soon after 1 began
taking It, I saw an Improvement, and
was able to get up and bo about my
work...
"I was nearly entirely well... when
one day... I scrubbed the whole house,
washed clothes, tor 7 In the family,
and got my feet wet. This caused an-
other alck spell... So I turned again
to my old friend. Dr. Cardui, . . After
the UBe of less than a bottle again 1
was able to be up and about my work.
I also fleshened up again, got a good
color, and I am now In good health...
I highly recommend Cardui... It la
the best tonic that I know of,"
If you need a tonic, try Cardui. For

There are numerous forma of Indi-
vidual hoghouaes constructed lo be
portable and adapted to accommodate
a sow with pigs, or (wo or three hogs.
Almost every portable house that la
built posseBses certain features pe-
culiar to Itself and rendered necessary
by the circumstances which It la in-
tended to meet. The type of hog-
house described hero ha„ been suc-
cessfully used on the government ex-
periment farm at Bellsvllle, Md.
This house presents a very attrac-
tive appearance and has proved satis-
factory in general service. It Is sim-
ple In construction and possesses all
tho essentials of an Ideal hoghuuse.
It can be moved from place to place
whenever desired. The perpendicular
walls furnish plenty of lloor space,
which can be used to good advantage.
The doors, ventilators and roof are
so arranged as to provide for ample
fresh air and shade. The wires fas-
tened to the roof (Fig. 21 and lying
on It serve to hold up the back for
ventilation and to shade the ground.
The back Is swung open and the hooks
that held It shut are hooked in these
pieces of wire. In the winter the
house can be closed to shut out the
cold winds and the roof opened to
give fresh air and sunlight to the In-
terior.
In moving the house a good way Is
to take a chain or a strong rope and
fasten It to tho runners through the
holes bored for the purpose, fasten

EXPENSIVE ANIMALS TO KEEP DETERMINE ACIDITY OF SOIL
Horses and Mules Should Be Kept
Busy Earning Their Feed Every
Day—Separate Idle Ones.
The horse and mule are very ex-
I penBivo aniomals to keep on the farm.
' and the first aim should he to keep
I them busy earning their feed every
; day that this can be done, but wnen
this is not practicable they should be
i fed as economically as possible. Sud-
den Idleness after hard work and con
j tinned high feeding causes more sick-
ness than overwork. If the horses
are forced into Idleness for over one
I day reduce the grain feed to one-half
If the idle period continues for over
I four or live days, the full grain ration
; may he gradually restored If it is de-
sired that the animals gain in flesh.
If tho mules he fed separately all
those that are not going to work dur-
ing the winter should he put on light
rations, chiefly of rough hays and a
little cottonseed meal. If large num
bers of mules are fed together It will
pay to at least hunch them in lots of
8 to 12, feeding the idle animals In
one lot on less feed and the less vigor-
ous ones in another lot on more feed,
while the working animals are fed ac-
cording to the work they do.—Progres
sive Farmer.

Digestible Nutrients in Alfalfa,
it ia estimated that in one tun of
alfalfa hay there are 1.044 poundB of
digestible nutrients of which 22U
pounds are digestible protein. In
one ton of timothy hny there are 926
pounds of digestible nutrients ot
which 56 pounds are digestible pro-
tein.
Build Up Run-Out Farm.
One of the surest and best ways to
build up a run out farm Is to keep a
good herd of cows, and to put every
pound of manure back on the land.
| Quite often a farm Is judged by the
eows It supports.
Simple and Fairly Reliable Test Can
Be Made by Applying Piece of
Blue Litmus Paper.
(By W. R. DODSON. Louisiana ExperN
mpnt Station.!
If white clover, or any of the clov
ors naturally thrive on the soil, it it
apt to he an indication that the soil
is not acid. There are certain plants
that are naturally inclined to thrive
on acid soil. For instance, the pres-
ence of blackberry bushes as a nat-
ural growth would Indicate that the
soil was probably acid, as blackberries j
thrive in acid soil. A growth of sor-
rel Indicates an acid soil. Soils that
become carpeted In winter with a |
mosslike hedge are generally arid. If
cultivated lands produce good cow
Peas, Covers and legumes In general.,
It is an indication that the soil Is not j
acid.
A simple and fairly reliable test that I
can be made Is to get a piece of blue j
litmus paper and press It against th«
moist soil. If in a few minutes it turns
red. it indicates that the soli is acid. |
This is not an absolute test, but is i
reliable enough for all practical pur-
poses. If the soil is -eld. It should
have lime added.

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick*
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience—Buch as Dr. Pierce, of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
| Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
1 sample package of his new discovery—
i "Anuric.” Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that
* Anuric” is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar, besides being absolutely
harmless and Is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kid-
neys in a healthy condition by thor-
oughly cleansing them. Checks the de-
generation of the blood-vessels, as well
as regulating blood pressure. “Anuric"
is a regular insurance and life-saver
for all big meat eaters and those who
deposit lime-salts in their joints. Ask

Dooms Widow to One Room.
The will of Solomon Hicks, ttled for
probate, disposing of an estate in ex-
cess of $5,000, contains the unusual
provision that his widow, Mrs. Ghana
Dora Hicks, of 173 Stanton street, is
to receive an income of $10 a week
for life “provided she lives in a room
alone.’’ Further on there is a modi-
fication which permits the widow to
have a daughter live with her.
The rest of the property is directed
to be divided equally among the chil-
dren, Max, Moliie, Lena and Sala.—

False Vows.
“Be mine, Estelle,” he begged, “an#
I swear by yon silvery moon that noth-

“I will trust you, Adalbert,” she
whispered, and so they were mar-

But, alas, for the vows of man. Be-
fore three years md passed something
had come between them.

LUCKY HORSESHOE A HOODOO
Lad Casts It Over Shoulder, and It
Goes Through Car Window,
Says Dispatch.
Little Elmer Cook has good reason
to believe there is nothing to the time
honored theory among youths that to
throw* a horseshoe over one’s left
shoulder is good luck, because he
tried it and it brought him a bunch of
trouble.
Elmer was playing with two of his
companions when it came his turn to
throw the horseshoe the boys had
found at lower Stockton road and Y
street. The lad did not know that the
street car was passing behind him un-
til he heard the crash of glass as the
“lucky” shoe flew through the window
of the car.
The boy did not run, but stood his
ground and told the street car con-
ductor a straight-out story, explaining
that he hoped the horseshoe would
bring him good luck.
The car was well filled with women
and children at the time, but no one
was hurt.—Oak Park Dispatch, Sacra
men to (C’al.) Bee.

Proper Food Plays a Big Part
Many foods — especially those made from
white flour — are woefudy deficient in certain
mineral salts which are essential to life, health
and happiness.

so often lacking in the usual daily diet, a food
