OK INTfcREST TO FARMKRS.
Every summer after the stor
ing of the hay and grain crops we
he.ir of lires, the origin of which,
being unknown, U ascrioed as in
cendiarism, though doubtless if
the real cause could be ascertain
ed it would be fou nd that thoy wero
the result of spontaneous com bus
tion owing to hay or other new
crops while in process of fermen
tation evolving heat sufficient to
produce lire. If farmers wish to
prevent their hay stacks or barns
from tiring they need only to scat
ter a few handfuls of common salt
between the layers. The theory
is that the salt by absorbing the
humidity of the hay not only pre
vents its fermentation and conse
quently heatiug, but it also adds
a sally taste to this forage which
all cattle like, and besides, it stim
ulates the appetite aud assists
their digestion, and so preserves
them from many diseases.
SAVE THE CHILDREN.
Ninety-nine of every hundred
diseases that children have are
due to disorders of the stomach,
and these disorders are all caus
ed by indigestion. Kodol Dy
spepsia Cure is just as good for
children as it is for adults. Chil
dren thrive on it. It keeps their
little stomachs sweet and eu
courages their growth and devel
opment. Mrs. Henry Carter, 70")
Central St., Nashville, Tenu., says
"My little boy is now three years
old and has been suffering from
indigestion every since he was
born. 1 have had the best doctors
iu Nashville, but failed to do him
any good. After using one bot
tle of Kodol he is a well baby. I
recommend it to all sufferers."
Kodol digests what you eat aud
makes the stomach sweet. Sold

DEWITT IS THE NAME.
When you go to buy Witch Ha

on every box. Thopure unadul
terated Witch Hazel is used in
making DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salvo which is the best salve in
the world for cuts, burns, boils,
bruises, eczema and piles. The
popularity of DeWitt's Witch Ha
zel Salve, due to its many cures,
has caused numerous worthless

through exposure or imprudence i counterfeits to be placed on the

superstition ol long standing.
There are even those who would
not for a single moment be re
garded as at all superstitious who
look upon the dog days as exer
cising bad influences upon every
thing. The heat while the dog
days last is usually more sultry
and oppressive than at auy other
timo in the summer. Then, too,
meats and vegetables are sup
posed in more danger of spoiling
from the effect of the weather
than at auy other time. Be this
as it may we have now entered
upon the dog days, and it would
be well for us to be careful in our
diet and manner of living.
BETTER THAN GOLD.
Pure Food Commissioner War
ren is after dealers in milk all
over the state, but says the pros
ecutions of a year ago have made
them wary and but a small per
! centage of the samples taken are
found to be adulterated. "It is a
curious fact" said Dr. Warren,
"that the common adulterant
used in the western part of the
state is formaldehyde, which is
nothing more or less than em
balming fluid,while in the east
orn end of the state plain water
is used." Dr. Warren says that
a total of 850 samples of milk have .
been taken by the department's
agents all over the state. In one
town eight out of nine samples j
were found to be adulterated and ;
in another six out of eleven were
"doctored." I
