A Professional Nurse tells her experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. Montague, Mass. FOSTER-MILBURN CO., Buffalo,N. Y. Gentlemen, —I heartily wish those who are suffering from backache and disturbed action of the kidneys wotftd try Doan's Kidney Pills. As was the case with me, they will be more than surprised with the results. I have been troubled for years with my spine. I could not lie on either side. Spinal cramps would follow, and words could not explain the agony which I would endure. While in these cramps I could not speak or move, but by making a great effort after the cramp had left me I could begin to speak and move a little, but my whole back was so sore and lame that I cou'.d not even have my back bathed for some time. My nerves were in a terrible state. I would rather sit up at night than go to bed, dreading the cramps and the \ terrible backaches. I consulted physi- j cians, but got only a little relief for the | time being. Seeing your advertisement, ! my mother urged me to try Doan's I Kidney Pills. After using one box I I was better, and have ever since been j on the gain. I have no backache and | no cramps now, and I feel like a new person. My nerve? are better and I know my blood is purer. Words can not express my thanks to you for what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me. : In my work as professional nurse I have a chance to recommend t.hem; and they did me so much good that I > will do so on every possible occasion, j HATTIE BRIGHAM, Nurse.

A TALK ABOUT EGGS. Very I.ittle Difference in Nutritive Value of the Product of Vurl- OIIH IvilKlx of FOH'Is. The Maine experiment station has been examining into the composition and physical characteristics of different kinds of eggs and finds that duck eggs have apparently the smallest propor tion of shell, the shell in tlxis case be ing about 1U.6 per cent, of the whole weight of the eggs. The average of 34 samples of hens' eggs in this respect, having an average of 11.4 per cent, of the whole weight. The shells of the goose eggs averaged 12.8 per cent, of all. Guinea fowl eggs should be unusu ally strong as their shells form 14.4 per cent, of their weight. The whites of the eggs in proportion to their total weight ran, goose, 52.6; duck, 53.G; guinea, 53.G; turkey, 5G.5. The propor tion of- yolk to the whole egg ran,, guinea fowl, 32; duck, 33; goose, 34.6, and turkey, 30.1. About 70 per cent, of the edible por tion of eggs is pure water. The pro tein centent is about 14 per cent., and the fat about the same. This makes eggs a very valuable food. Most of the protein is in the whites of the eggs, and most of the fat in the yolks. Taking the egg as a whole, including the shell, the fat content ranges from about nine per cent, in turkeys', hens' and guinea fowls' eggs, to over 12 in the eggs of ducks and Reese. The pro tein content runs from 11 to 13 per cent, in eggs of all varieties of fowls named. There is really little difference In the nutritive value of the different kinds of eggs. How to Prevent Swarminic. In answer to an inquiry as to how to prevent bees from swarming. Elias Fox, in Bee Gleanings, says:"l have thought of this a great deal; and the more I think of it the more firmly I am convinced that we all have non-swarm ers if properly manipulated. In other words, I believe that, instead of its be ing natural for bees to swarm, it is the reverse. Of course, there are ex ceptions to all rules; but swarming according to nature is the exception (barring Carniolans). Give your queens plenty of room as needed at the proper time, and the workers the same, and I will guarantee the rule will be no swarming—at least in this latitude. I presume these few remarks will cause the beekeepers to swarm; but try this pimple method and you will hive your selves automatically. Strength of nn KRK Shell. Most people are aware of the power of egg shells to resist externa! pressure on the ends, but not many would credit the result of tests recently made, which appear to be genuine, as recorded in the Scientific American. Eight ordinary hen's eggs were submitted to pressure applied externally all over the surface of the shell, and the breaking pressure varied between 400 pounds and G75 pounds per square inch. With the stress applied internally to 12 eggs, these gave way at pressures varying between 32 and G5 pounds per square inch. The pressure required to crush the eggs varied between 40 pounds and 75 pounds. The average thingness of the shells was .013 of an inch. Preparing Ilnckwheat I.nnd. Plow buckwheat land as early as pos sible in the spring, and harrow occa sionally until the seed is sown. This early plowiug and harrowing aids in changing into a soluble and hence available form, some of the insolublo nitrogenous compounds of tl/e soil. This will usually supply sufficient ni trogen. The early plowing also allows the soil to bocomo sufficiently compact Immediately below the surface, which Is an aid in preventing injury from dry weather. Sow one bushel of seed, and apply from 150 to 300 pounds of acid phosphate per acre.—J. H. Stew art, West Virginia Experiment Station. CAMERON COUNTY PRBSS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25 T904. IN PRAIRIE LAND. (Editorial Correspondence.) MOOSE JAW, Assir.rbo!«. j Farmers' Review, Chicago, July 22, I!hj3. "Most of the prairies in the United States have ceased to exist. Man liaa broken them up with orchards, forests and farm buildings. But in Western Canada the prairies still stretch grand- : ly from horizon to horizon as yet un marred by the hand of man, save where the Iron road has been laid. To a city man there is something de lieiously restful about the vast grassy solitudes. "Numerous clumps of trees mark the course of the Assiniboine River, which keeps in sight of the railroad for some distance. "Grass is one of the notable things about all the landscape of Western Canada. It is a remarkable fact that the entire length of the Canadian Pa cific. railway from its eastern terminus to the Rocky mountains is over plains where grass grows. The sago brush appears at some points, but never to the exclusion of grass. There is thua not a mile of this country that cannot he used for some agricultural purpose —either for tilling or ranching. "Moose Jaw is a town of over 2,000 inhabitants and one of the most lm portant places in Assiniboia, being the center of a very good farming coun try and a great grain and stock ship ping point. "Near Moose Jaw agriculture and ranching go hand In hand; for near the town was seeri a herd of beef cat tle several hundred in number. On another side was seen a good sized herd of dairy cows, the property of the citizens in tho town. "In riding over the prairies we saw many good fields of alfalfa. The great need of the country Is timber, which grows readily wheTe planted, as was demonstrated by the shelter belts on some of the farms, and the trees on the residence lots in the town. "Stories were told the writer of men who last year cleared from their wheat crop more than the land on which it was grown originally oost them. This is easy to believe in view of the large crop and high price for wheat last i year.—Henry F. Thurston."

Riisiurss I'lriii of Sycamore, 111., Locks Itook In Safe to Avoid llohlicry. At, Sycamore, 111., a well-known J business firm makes it a practice to j keep a Bible in t.he safe. This cus- { torn was commenced a long time ago j and the big steel l>ox is never locked ; ii]) unless it contains the book. It is kept in the money drawer of the safe. I't is found necessary to remove it occasionally, but it is always careful ly replaced. The men who adopted this queer practice when they commenced busi ness years ago have little to say in explanation. In all their business life their safe or store has never been robbed or entered. They have had a continuous good business, and are among the most successful business houses of the town. All of the mem bers of the firm attend the churches of the town, but all arc liberal in j their religious views, and the pre vailing belief in the town is that holy | writ is kept iu the safe principally j for good luck. Buyonot a French Invention. It is not generally known that the British bayonet, feared the world over, is not an English invention, but | comes from France. It was on? of those numerous instances of neces sity being the mother of invention. In one of the French wars the Basque soldiers ran out of amunition. The enemy were at hand, so their officers bade them tie their long knives to their muskets. They did so, and the weapon thus made was successfully used to put.to rout a charge of cav alry. The battle thus fought was near Bayonne, and so we have the name bayonet. Three Doctors' Opinions. Buffalo, N.

L.J FIX COLOR AT BIRTH. Colored Woman to He .Tlndc Subject of a Hospital ICxperlmciit. Because of an experiment of Dr. ,T. W. Hill, of South Bend, one of the leading physicians and surgeons of Indiana, who seeks to prevent an in fant born of negro parents from re verting back to the old type of the colored race, the attention of the scientific world is expected to be fixed on South Bend during the next few •months. All arrangements, it is un derstood, have been completed for I)r. Hill's solution of the color scheme of the human race, and with the as sistance of Dr. George L. ilager, al so of that city, Dr. Hill expects to be successful. A colored woman has consented to act as the patient, and she will enter the hospital as soon as the rooms are made ready for the scientific event. According to Dr. Hill, the negro's skin is more sensitive than that of any other human being, and for that reason more pigment is thrown out to protect him under the climatic conditions in which liis forefathers ■were born, the intense heat of the tropics making this necessary. By preventing pigmentation Dr. Hill be lieves the child of colored .parents, which is generally born white, turn ing dark under the sun's rays, will become whiter than the Caucasian race. This is following the idea of Dr. Fenson, the Norwegian scientist, who found by putting a chameleon under violet rays that the pigment or throwing off of color is not of such marked extent as under tly; ordinary light rays. For this reason red light as actinic rays will be employed in making the experiment, for the reason that they (have a subduing effect and are not rays that irritate and prevent pigmenta tion. A room in a hospital will be -provided which will be completely furnished in red, walls, ceiling, floor ing, and furniture. Bed clothing and curtains are to be of that color, and (patient, attending physicians, and nurses will wear red gowns, while the only light will come through red globed lamps. Not the faintest par ticle of any contrasting light will be permitted in the room. Singular Klrthmark of a Famllv, Mrs. Belle Harvey, of Bower's Mill, Mo., is one of a family of four living at ithat place, each of whom has a curious birthmark. The family con sists of three sisters and a baby two years old. Each has black hair, with a large lock of pure white hair be ginning over the forehead and run ning backward. The flesh under this hair is also white, and the white mark runs down upon the forehead. The entire mark is said to look like an ostrich plume laid over the head of the bearer. The three sisters are 23, 21 and 19 years old. The mark is said to be hereditary in their family. 10,000 Plants tor lGe. This is a remarkable offer the John A.

David Meekison is well known, not only in his own State but through out America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during* which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Hank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to tlie Fiftv-iifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of liis party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states man. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was liisonly mi conquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At hist l'eru n a came to the rescue, and lie dictated the follow ing letter to Dr. Ilartman as the result: "I have used several bottles of Peru ri a and I feel greatly benefited ) j, thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if ' / use it a short time longer / will be fully able to eradicate the disease of \ thirty years' standing."—David Meekisen, ex-Member of Congress. ; THE season of catching 1 cold is upon us. The cough and the sneeze and nasal twang are to be heard on 1 every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A personcatehescold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. The ii follows sensitiveness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easilj'. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning.' A hot tie of Peruna properly used never fails to cure a com mon cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh. While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer able of catarrh of twenty years'stand ing. It is the best, if not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. Dutprevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.
