The Famous Cascarets Mau, Who Invests a Thousand Dollars Erery Ray for Newspaper Advertising. "pHE young man whose portrait is printed above is a living, breathing illustration of the success which can be obtained by practical faith and persistent and judicious invest ment in newspaper advertising. Mr. Kramer, only a few years ago. without capital, started, in a modest way, advertising in newspapers ths merit cf No-To-Bac, the original guaranteed tobacco-habit cure, building up dollar by dollar an enormous mail order busi ness for that successful specific. His original line, " Don't tobacco spit and smoke your life away," through the medium of newspapers, became known throughout the English speaking world, and brought in unprecedented results. The secret of his advertising method is "reinvestment," which Is practically "doubling his bet" from day today. When Mr. Kramer ran his first little advertisement ten years ago his capita! was less than SIOO. He wrote the order on a rented typewriter operated by himself, and his advertising appropriation was $5.00. Three years ago he originated the famous Cascarets Candy Ca thartic that "work while you sleep," and this year he employs over 200 people, including Iwenty stenographers and typewriters and a system of ten graphophor.es. His daily news paper advertising investment is over $300,000 a year, and he is counted as one of ths greatest practical, because successful, authorities on the science of advertising in the world. His delight is to see the working of the enormous advertising machine which he set in motion a few years ago, and his ambition is best illustrated by an expression made use of to a friend recently. He said: "My boy, we'll get rich when we make money faster than we can spend it for advertising." Besides the No-To-Bac and Cascarets enterprises, Mr. Kramer scored another great business success in the Magno-Mud baths of Indiana Mineral Springs, Ind., the only place where this wonderful treatment for rheumatism can be obtained. The place, soon after No-To-Bac began securing recognition, was a mere wilderness in the hills of Indiana, but nature had provided the material, mud and lithia water, for the cure, and Mr. Kramer ap preciated its possibilities at first sight. To-day there is at the Indiana Mineral Springs a $250,000 plant of hotels, bathhouses and cottages, electric-lighted, steam-heated, with beautiful park surroundings, patronized by the very best people of Chicago and St. Louis, as well as thousands of prominent guests from all other parts of the country. Mr. Kramer is only 36 years old and his energy and vitality have not yet reached their climax. Many leading business men of America have been glad to Join in his enter prises. displaying the highest confidence in the great future which this young man's re markable advertising genius and capacity for work will bring forth. CLAIMS CREDIT FOR HEIR. As Recompense for Her Advice, Dr. Mary Walker, Asks Czar to Stop War with Japan. Dr. Mary Walker is claiming credit for the fact that the czar's new baby Is a scm instead of a daughter. The doctor says if she had not volunteered her advice there would have been an other grand duchess in the palace in stead of a czarevitch. All that Dr. Walker wants of the czar in return for the favor she has done is that he stop the war witu Japan. "Give Japan the harbor," Dr. Walker has written from Oswego to the czar. She does not specify which harbor, but pretty nearly any harbor will do, she thinks. The following is a copy of an open letter Dr. Walker has written to tho czar: "To the Czar of All Russia—Dear Sir: In congratulating yourself and the mother of your son, I most re spectfully and earnestly request you to make peace with Japan. "Give Japan the harbor. "But for my professional advice you would not now bo the father of a son heir. The world will rejoice and say that you would gladly have done this one year since as the price of the as surance of a son. "I did not give information that has resulted bo gratifyingly for the pur pose of asking a reward of any nature, but circumstances are such at the present time that I expect you to grant therein above asked action. "MAitY E. WALKER, M. D." HAS MONSTER PIGEON FARM Pennsylvanian Has 10,000 Birds— Arrangements Perfect and Suc cess Follows Experiment. E. C. Cummings, of Worcester town ship, is conducting a pigeon farm on which there are now 10,000 birds. Mr. Cummings says that his is the largest lot of birds that are kept housed on one farm. He changed lrom chickens to pigeons, as the latter are 50 per tent, more profitable. There are four houses on the farm, two 100 feet long and two 300 feet long. The buildings are heated by hot water, but cold houses are to be tried. The houses have cement floors and are divided into pens, with capacities varying from 25 to 75 pairs. The greatest care is exercised to keep the farm in the best sanitary condition, the houses being thoroughly cleaned weekly. Two men are re quired for the purpose and when not New Kind of Rubber. During the past few months discov ery has been made that there are in the interior of Brazil vast forests of trees from which can be produced a high grade of rubber known as "man lcoba." The area is said to be very large, but cannot be defined, as the re gion has not been fully explored. The attention called to the first discovery has led to further exploration, with the result that from time to time comes notice of other sections where like trees occur in profusion. The output of engaged in cleaniug operations one waters and one feeds the birds. Car bolic acid and coal oil are used for spraying and these two agencies keep the birds healthy. About 500 squabs are sold weekly, the young birds finding a ready mar ket in New York at five dollars a doz en. The varieties raised here are homers, dragons, runts and crosses. Some of the runts measure 40 inches from tip to tip of wings, while there are many measuring 35 inches. The farm covers 16 acres and repre sents an investment of $25,000. SUMMER GIRL'S FAILURE. Rigged Herself Up to Make a Hit, But Her Finery All Wilted. Once upon a time there was a girl who decided that she would be the real thing in the summer girl line, relates a St. Paul Globe writer. Be fore the snow melted she was plan ning a wardrobe that would bring down any summer youth from a mil lionaire prospective to a Dry Goods clerk. She embroidered all her shirt waists by hand, and made seven sets of turn-overs before the summer styles were settled, only to learn that they were wearing 1830 yokes. She bought a white silk drop skirt for her mull dress, and then her poor old mother had togo without a new sum mer hat so that daughter could have the real thing in a lingerie hat to go with the silk drop skirt. Father was driven to the verge of nervous prostration by the domestic discussions of skirt yokes and the best thing in color combinations, and brother Jimmy 'ost his half-holiday chasing down -erise near-silk when she wanted •tierry lining for her lawn dress. The clerks at the stores all got to know her —she had so many goods exchanged—and when at last she pulled out for a Jersey town wilh two trunks and a dress suit case her old father said: "This is Heaven," and her mother stopped taking nerve cure. But the girl found she was up against it after all. Her dresses faded and drooped in the sea air and so did her hair. Sitting up nights sewing had made her sallow, and she squinted from doing fine embroidery. The girl who made a hit with the few summer boys in sight wore the same linen dress three days running and had only one party dress to her name. But she had the real thing in eyes and dim ples. So the girl who had meant to bo It said site hated the seashore, and packed back to town to see a beauty doctor.

Valuable Suggestions from an Illi nois Lady Who Has Made Hen- Keeping a. Success. 1 keep about 300 fowls and have sev eral small houses such as shown in ac companying illustration. The bouses are built, some of pine and some of oak lum ber. They are 7 feet wide and 10 feet long-, 7 feet high in front ar.d 4',£ feet at back. Sills are 2x4-inch oak, caps 2x4-inch pine. They have one window of six lights 24x30 inches in front, 3 feet from the ground ; one small window without glass, but a wooden shutter, 2 INTERIOR VIEW OF HOI'SK. feet square, in end opposite door, for air and ventilation; two exits for fowls in front. Have platform length of house 3 feet wide under perches to catch drop pings. This is kept covered with dirt or dust. Between dropping boards and floor is a platform for costs. All platforms and perches are removable. Houses have earth floors. Each house has one large door placed in the end, close to the front. The exits are 12x10 inches, placed close to the ground. On stormy days the door is kept closed, (he fowls going in and out through the exits. The windows have etrong, fine meshed wire nailed on the outside. These houses are about 5 rods apart, and there are no fences between them, Ji* HOUSE FROM THE OUTSIDE. yet there is little trouble in keeping the flocks separate. Each house shelters 60 hens, and 1 keep ten cockerels with four flocks. They have unlimited range. The eggs hatch better than when a cock Is kept for every 12 or 15 hens. The Interior of the house is also shown. The platform is whitewashed and dust or sand is sprinkled on it. The perches are 2 or 3 inches in diameter. Between the floor and dropping platform is an other platform 2 feet wide on which the nests are placed. The nests are sometimes boxes made of short pieces of board, but usually are Email boxes bought at the grocery for 5 cents each. In the corner opposite th« door is usually a barrel of road dust. The hens use it for a dust bath, and I use it for the dropping boards. They also use It for a nest box, which I disapprove of. The cost of two houses was as follows: Lumber, $7.85 (the pine lumber was second-hand, and I got It for half price); nails, 30 cents; glass and putty, 69 cents; hinges and locks, 40 cents; paper, ce ment and nails. $7.25; freight on paper and cement. $1.25: total of $17.74 for ma terial; six days'labor at $1 per day would add making the total cost $23.74, or not quite sl2 for each. Two other houses made of new lumber and battens instead of paper, which cont $20.25; oil and paint, $1.13; 14 pounds nails, 56 cents; three windows, $1.05; wire netting, $1.05; hinges, locks and hasps, 59 cents; G days' labor, SO, making the total cost $31.04, or $15.52 each. —Mrs. E.

You will save the thresher's bill on it, and the poul try will even pay you a nice profit for the privilege of working it over for their own benefit, by an increased sup ply of eggs, and thriftiness and growth among the flock. Wheat is best for this purpose, but rye and oats are also excellent. If so desired, you can select some of your poorest grain for this purpose, as thj main object is to fur nish the poultry with some interesting employment. Save enough of the un threshed grain to furnish one good sized bundle for every 30 hens in the llock daily. Whole grain can with ad vantage be scattered among the straw. It will prevent the greedy ones from glutting themselves, while the small and weak ones have a chance to get their shsre of the grain. After the straw has been thoroughly worked over and all grain picked out, it should be all raked up and removed before bringing in afresh bundle. If possible, the unthreshed grain should be placed under a shed or in a barn to keep dry. If unthreshed grain cannot be ob tained, dry fresh straw and chaff will be a good substitute to sprinkle the grain among, If frequently changed, but it will not give as good results at the unthreshed grain, owing to the amount of healthy exercise which the unthreshed grain will furnish.—Mid laud Farmer.
