One million women, representing cities, towns, villages and isolated rural settlements iu every section of the country, are to-day enlisted In a campaign against tuberculosis, accord ing to a statement issued by the Na tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In legis latures, in congress at Washington, In society gatherings, In churches and clubs, through speaking and writing— In every possible way, the women of the country are persistently fighting consumption. With an organization established in every state of the country, under the direction of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and with associated clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian islands, Porto Rico and the canal zone, the •women of the country have entered a systematic crusade to carry the mes sage of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis into every American home. As the Boy Saw the Lesson. Prof. Charles Zeublin of the Univer sity of Chicago was discussing at a dinner the greatest paintings of the ■world. "The legends that are beautiful and Immortal," he said, "have in them turths that we all, according to our kind, take home. This is true in likeness of immortal works of art pictures, poems, songs. For different people they have different messages, For instance, in my native Pendleton some of the mothers used to cut the children's hair. They did it with shears and a bowl. The operation •was often painful, and the result was never elegant. "In Sunday school a Pendleton teacher once told her pupils the trag ic story of Samson and Deliah. Then she turned to a little boy: " 'What do you learn, Joe,' she said, 'from the Samson story?' " 'lt don't never pay,' piped Joe, 'to have a woman cut a feller's hair.'"— Cincinnati Enquirer. OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something. The front yard fence is a famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other times neighbor has something really good to offer. An old resident of Baird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once. He says: "Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and ao •weak l could scarcely walk; "One day I was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her I believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum a trial. I did not take her advice right away but tried a change of climate, which did not do me any good. Then 1 dropped coffee and took up Postum. "My improvement began immediate ly and I got better every day I used Postum. "My bowels became regular in two weeks, all my pains were gone. Now I am well and strong and can eat any thing I want to without distress. All of this is due to my having quit cof fee, and to the use of Postum regu larly. "My son who was troubled with indi gestion thought that if Postum helped me so, it might help him. It did, too, and he is now well and strong again. "We like Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and use it altogether In my family in place of coffee and all keep well." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in Pkgs.

To contain a thousand bushels a granary should be 12x14 feet with 8-foot studs. The frame should be made of planks 2x6 inches fastened by 4-inch spikes. To form the side frame take three pieces 2xo inches 14 feet long and eight pieces 8 feet long, the former for plate and sills, the latter for studs. On two of the 14-foot pieces mark off 2-foot spaces and at these places mark across with a try square the places where the studs are to be nailed to the plate and upper layer of the sill, but notice that the studs at the ends of the side frames are put flat instead of across; also that these and all the end studs have a piece cut out to allow the joists at the ends of the building to be let into the end studs. (See A, Fig. 1.) Then I /-f F~ r n 1 I I 1 n li k * | <0 mm 111 luIUUIN, 1 Side Frame of Granary. when the flooring is nailed to these joists it holds the end wall firm against the pressure of the wheat. After-spiking down through the plate into the studs and up through one plank of the sill into the other end of the studs, the lower plank of the sill may be spiked to the upper plank of the sill. (See Fig. 1.) Make the other side frame in the same way, then raise them up and fasten the bottoms together with the two end joists and brace with slant braces in such a position that, the side frames are just at right angles to the joists. The tops may then be fastened to gether by spiking the end plates on top of the side plates (See B, Fig. 1), but first marking on it the places where the end studs are to be spiked Cc r .j. 4 1 Frame of Granary. two feet apart as before. These end studs are cut similar to the corner ones, except that they must be made two inches (or the thickness of the plank) longer than the corner ones, so as to reach the higher plate and fit on the inside of the end joist as be fore. The other joists may now be laid across and spiked at each end to the side studs, also spiked to the sills. The gables are formed by putting up a pair of rafters at each end and spiking to these, upright pieces of 2x4- inch scantling resting on the end plate and spiked to it. Two of these should LOOKNOWTODRY FARMING Method of Cultivating Lands Hitherto Considered Arid. "Dry farming, quickly defined, is the art of raising grain, fruit and vege tables on lands hitherto considered arid, and of no value except for sheep grazing," announces John F. Burns, secretary treasurer of the Dry Farm ing congress. "Not only the United States, but a large portion of the whole world is interested in dry farm ing, and at our convention at Chey enne a few weeks ago, representa tives from Canada, Mexico, Siberia, Australia and the Transvaal were in terested participants. The growing population of the world demands "lhat these hitherto neglected areas be made to produce and the area of arid lands devoted to farming will grow rapidly froiu year to year. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1909. be placed in such a position at each end that a small door wiO-i enough for a man to get through can be cut be tween them. The elevator spout of the threshing machine can be put into whichever of these doors is more convenient to allow the machine to be set with the wind. The other rafters may now be raised and braced in po sition. Now cut out six feet of one of the end studs to form a door four feet wide, and nail a piece of plank across the top of this space, to form the top of the door frame, and support the short piece of stud loft above. This width of door will allow a fan ning mill to be taken into clean up seed grain, etc. When laying the floor it is a good plan to nail pieces of board on the under side as you go, to cover any knot holes; also nail small pieces of board 011 the two sides of the studs (three sides in the end studs) even with the top edge of the joist for the double purpose of sup porting the floor and preventing wheat from sifting through the cracks, if you do not make a perfect fit of the flooring round the studs. To move these granaries make two skids from timber 4x6 inches, 11 feet long with a block spiked on the back end. Round up the other end like a sleigh runner and bore a hole, into which a large clevis may be fastened. Pry up one end of granary at a timo and put the skids in position under neath the granary. Hitch two horses to each clevis by a chain and by liav- ing two careful drivers or by tyii g their heads together as a four-heme team for one driver the granary can be hauled where you wish. Pry up again and remove the skids. It is a good plan to have two planks fastened together just like the sills to lay un der the middle of the joists as a sup port. The best material for covering sides and floor is six-inch flooring, but many people use narrow shiplap. It is also economy to paint as soon as finished. The siding needs to be well nailed with three-inch wire nails. "In dry farming, a region in which less than eight inches of moisture falls is of little tise, but wiiere the rainfall or snowfall amounts to more than eight inches good crops of grain and fruit are being successfully grown at this lime. "For wheat, I would recommend plowing in the fall to a depth of at least 12 inches; then following up with the harrow in the same direction as the plow. In a few weeks another harrowing would be in order, and through the year I would harrow fre quently, in order to have the soil re tain all the moisture in the atmos phere that could be obtained. In the following fall I would plant red winter wheat, and when this was up a few inches I would run a harrow over It to tear out a certain proportion of the plants. Later on I would repeat the harrowing process. I have known 60 bushels of wheat to be raisod in arid regions by such a process, which, of course, allows of only oc.» crop ever}' two yeara."

June—the month allotted to brides and roses—is probably the most popu lar season of the year, as it brings to many the fulfillment of heart's desires. It Is said —by whom no one seems to know—that if the day chosen by a girl for her wedding proves to be rainy that her life will be filled with more sorrow than joy. Ise that as it may, ono of the very happiest of mar riages was made on Friday, on the I.lth day of the month and at the hour set for the ceremony there was a most terrific thunderstorm. In spite of the fact that for years Saturday was con sidered the most unlucky of wedding days, of late it has been chosen by brides of even international fame. If the carriage containing <1 bride should meet a funeral procession the driver must be instructed to turn some other way. if ho does not, fate de crees that the bride will soon die. To avoid the possibility of any bad luck on her wedding day, the bride elect should not offer to assist in washing or wiping the family dishes, for if by chance she should happen to break a bit of china it would be an exceedingly evil omen—the old record does not say what, but. it would be prudent not to tempt fate. Gray is the color a bride should choose for her going-away gown if she wishes to wear what for ages has been considered the proper thing to insure good luck. Perhaps that is the reason that there is always a steady demand i(or this color. Some ono gets hold of these old /superstitions and customs, and the pub lic thinks it is acquiring something new just because they are so old that every one has fogotten all about them. When the cake known as the "groom's cake" is passed at a wedding supper the girl who gets the longest piece will be the first one to marry. Maidens who are anxious to leave the state of single blessedness should consult the head waiter and see that some bits of cake are cut longer than the others. Fate was certainly kind when she decreed that for a bride to shed tears on her wedding was a good omen, for it would take a pretty stoical young woman togo through breaking home ties without a few tears, no matter how alluring the prospect of the new life. Snow failing on a wedding day augurs well for the happy couple, be ing a prophecy of great happiness. For girls who have been asked to set the day it might bo well to re member that June 3, 11, 19 and 21 are considered by the fates to be especial ly propitious on which to have the knot tied. June Birthday Party. June, the time or roses and perfect days, is a favorite month for all sorts of delightful parties.

The Invitations, which were issued two weeks in advance, requested the guests to come costumed as the flowef designated. These notes were written in gold ink on pale pink paper, tied to a pink rosebud; they were delivered from a rose-trimmed basket. The girls came as roses in all varie> ties. Then there were lily of the val ley, violet, tiger lily, daisy, pansy, black-eyed Susan, etc. The boys were sunflowers, bachelor's buttons, tulips, red carnation and chrysanthemum! and nasturtiums. Jack-in the-Pulpit and Johnny Jump-Up were also rep re sented. Crepe tissue paper and cheat gauzes, tinsels and cambrics entered largely into the construction of th« costumes worn. Soap bubbles occupied the first par. of the afternoon, the tennis court be ing the place selected for the contest The girls blew the bubbles and the boys fanned them over the net; the opposite side tried to keep the bubbles from going over. The side getting ten bubbles over the first won a prize. Then things were reversed, and the boys blew and the girls fanned. Gly cerin in the proportion of a table poonsful to a pint of water was used for blowing the bubbles and the pipes had a rim of soap around them inside the bowl which causes the fairy balls to grow to immense size; the glycerin gives lasting qualities unknown to plain water. There were prizes for this contest, consisting of flower shaped candy boxes filled with candied violets and rose petals. At five o'clock supper was served from a long table over which a canopy of paper roses had been made by put ting up tall stakes at regular tater vals from which these garlands vera festooned; the roof was made by criss crossing heavy wire and covering with vines. The roses were suspended by fine wire. The efrtci was excellent. Making the roses had furnished the children of the house pleasant occupa tion for more than one rainy spring day; having helped in the prepara tions, they were most keeniy inter ested in the success of the party. The refreshments consisted of minced chicken sandwiches, lemonade, sugar waters, strawberry ice cream and a huge birthday cake wreathed in pink roses. Pink rose holders held the candles and each child had a wee pink iced cake with a wee pink candle in front of his place to take home. madame mi:am. A Color Study. A young woman at the ti.*ater the other night had bright red hair —not the lovely auburn or famous Titian, but just plain red, and blue eyes, saya the Boston Globe. She would have been hopelessly mediocre had she worn pink, or worse still, light blue. Attired as she was in a long sweeping gown of all black, with not a speck of color anywhere, she was transformed into a striking beauty. Extremely long black jet earrings lent a decorative touch, and brought out unexpected red gold lights in her hair. CRIPPLED WITH SCIATICA Caused by Disordered Action of th* Kidneys. Samuel D.
