FARMING MADE TO PAY BY
1,200 KANSAS WOMEN.
Many Widows, and Some Taught
School Follow Scientific Methods.
Kansas has 1,200 women who are the
active managers of farms, and there is
scarcely one who has not made a suc
cess of her work. These women are
scattered over fifty-four counties.
Most women owning farm lands rent
the property, and generally they have
an agent who looks after nffnirs for
them. Hut the Kansas 1,200 direct
matters for themselves.
The Kansas woman farmer is scien
tific. It is estimated by tho state au
thorities that 08 per cent of the wo
men in active management of farms
lire members of farmers' institutes.
Most of tho Kansas women farmers
tivc in central and western Kansas.
Among them are about thirty women
schoolteachers who abandoned school
work because it was undermining their
health. Some bought farm lands, and
others took up homfgds on the gov
ernment's lands oi'tlio state school
lands,
Many women farmers are widows to
whom were left good farms and fami
lies to support when tho husband died.
These seldom do any of tho work, as
they are able to hire men from their
own neighborhood, but all the prob
lems of management are solved by tho
women.
Probably the best known woman
farmer in Kansas is Miss Mary Best
of Barber county. Every bushel of
her wheat is sold to millers and state
experiment stations at double the
usual wheat market figures, it being
used for seed by men who want the
best seed grown in the state. One
year tho Oklahoma Agricultural col
lego bought tho entire wheat crop of
Miss Best's farm.
92.035 MEN UNDER ARMS.
December With Over 3,000 Recruits Sets
an Enlistment High Water Mark.
Tho present strength of tho United
Statqs army, including all branches,
in addition to what is known as the
regular service, is 02,035 men. Of
these q3,220 are in tho United States.
17,238 in the Philippines, 7,030 in Hu
waii and tho rest are scattered In
smaller groups in Alaska, China, Porto
Rico and tho isthmian canal zone.
These facts are given in tho report
of General George Androvs, adjutant
general of tho nrmy, just made public.
Enlistments arc Increasing rapidly, ac
cording to ills report, after a slump
covering more than n year.
Tho slump began In tho spring of
1012 and continued until July, 1013.
when a rapid increase was noted.
Latest reports from the recruiting of
ficers of tho army i ml lento that for the
month of December tho enlistments
will pass tho 3,000 mark, or more
than any single month.
HOW MR. TAFT GOT RID OF
SEVENTY POUNDS IN
NINE MONTHS.
"I stopped eating potntoes and
all starchy things. Potatoes for
me have come to bo a deadly
sin. I cut from my bill of faro
nil fat meats, absolutely forbid
ding pork nnd other meats con
wining much fat.
"I am not allowed to eat fatty
fish such as salmon. I don't
touch pastry of nny kind. I
must bo very careful about my
allowance of sugar. I am per
mitted to eat lean roast beef
and lean mutton. I bavo a wide
range of vegetables which do
not contain mucl) starch or sug;
ar, I am friendly with the sal
ads provided tbcro is but a little
oil in tho dressings.
"I weighed 3-10 pounds March
4 last. Now 1 weigh 270, 1 am
more alert mentally and physi
cally than over before. It Is n
greater Joy to live."
Why is the soda
cracker today
such a universal

SAYS HUSBAND IS TOO KIND.
Denver Woman 'Makes That Charge in
Seeking a Divorce.
Willie tho records of Denver courts
aro filled with charges of cruelty as
grounds for divorce, it remained for
Mrs. Loretta Van Pelt to change the
order of things by demanding a legal
separation on the grounds of kindness.
Clifford Van Pelt sets forth in his
answer that his wife is cruel. In her
bill she says that ho Is too good for
her and that she longs to "lead tho
sort of n life that I have been accus
tomed to."
KAISER FOR MUSTACHES.
Dispensed Wijh Army Officers Who
"Americanize" Themselves.
"A real mnn wenrs n mustache" is
the latest pronouncement attributed
to the German kaiser.
The Berlin society weekly Roland
von Berlin states that tho emperor
thus indicated his displeasure at the
growing practice among army officers
of "Americaulzlng" their faces by
nhavlng off their musjacb.es.

POSITIVE PROOF
Should Convlnco the Greatest Skeptic
ill Honesdale.
Because it's the evidence of a
Honesdale citizen.
Testimony easily investigated.
The strongest endorsement of
merit.
The best proof. Head it:
Matthew' MoKeon, 409 Ridge
street, Honesdale, Pa., says: "I wish
to tell the people of Honesdale that
I found Doan's Kidney Pills a most
reliable kidney remedy. I suffered
from a dull pain in the small of my
back and I was convinced that my
kidneys were disordered, as the kid
ney secretions were unnatural.
When Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention, I procured
a supply at A. M. Lelno's Drug Store.
Slnco using them, I have Improved
in every way."
Confirmed Proof.
When Mr. McKeon was interview
ed some years later, ho said: "I still
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills in
the highest terms. This remedy has
convinced me of its merit by giving
me relief after other kidney medi
cine failed."
Price 50c at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney romddy--
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mr, McKeon had. Fpster-Mllbum
THE MOTHER OFA
THOUSAND EXILES
Splendid Heroism of Woman
Banished to Siberia.
HAPPY IN HER GOOD DEEDS.
Helping and Cheering Fellow Unfortu
nates In Russian Penal Settlement
Aids Mme. Catherine Broshkovskaya
to Bear Her Cross Aged Martyr's
Recent Letters to Friends In America.
Tho recent attempted escapo of Mme.
Catherine Broshkovskaya, tho "mother
of the Russian revolution," as sho is
called, from exile in dreaded Siberia,
has again attracted world wide atten
tion to this brave woman, now near
Ing her seventieth j'ear, who is un
dergoing her second or "perpetual"
term. She was sentenced to exile in
March, 1010, after a trial, whose pro
ceedings wore followed with intense
interest. The charge against her
was conspiracy in conjunction with
Nicolas Tchaikovsky, the "father of
the revolution," who had been active
for reform since 1870. The man was
acquitted on evidence brought from
the United States.
Becnuse she would not plead for tho
Russlari emperor's clemency Mme.
Broshkovskaya has been Incarcerat
ed at KIrensk, a penal settlement 420
miles northeast of Irkutsk.
At the time of her recent attempt
to gain her freedom she went to din
ner under police escort at tho lodging
of a fellow exile, Vladlmlroff, and re
mained there till evening. Then n
companion, Andreeff, dressed In Mme.
Breshkovskaya's clothing, emerged
from the house supported by Vladlml
roff, and, pretending to bo a sick wo
man. Accompanied by the police es
cort the accomplice hobbled to tho
lodging of Mme. Broshkovskaya nnd
crawled Into her bed, where he re
mained. Constabulary Intercepted a convey
ance speeding on tho way to Yakutsk,
on tho river Lena, and, recognized
among Its occupants Mme. BreshUov
skaya, dressed as a man. She had In
her possession a counterfeit passport
and a sum of money.
Lectured In United States.
It was In 18S3 that Mine Broshkov
skaya was first sent to Siberia. Re
leased after twenty-one years, she
came to America and formed many
close friendships with other leading
workers in the fight against the cznr.
Sho toured tho'principnl cities, lectur
ing on the cnuso of freedom in her na
tive land. She picked up something of
tho English language, but It was not
until her return to exile that sho mas
tered Its intricacies sufficiently to use
It in correspondence.
ner friends in this country have re
ceived many letters from her. Through
them shone the old time spirit of fight
and fortitude which twenty-one years
in exile had not dimmed when she
enmo to this country in 1004.
In one of theso letters sho tells of
changed conditions In tho opening of
tho exile's mail slnco the days of her
first banishment, but ndds that the
habit of persecution nnd espionage is
so old that the guards aro never tired
of indulging in it,
"During tho festivities of Christmas,"
sho continues, "when here many young
persons disguise themselves and go
through tho town with their masks,
my keepers are afraid I will escapo in
that, manner, and they run about llko
mad men, searching and looking after
every one. Intruding themselves into
every house suspected to bo the place
of ray visit.
"Every path I raako is surveyed by
a gloomy figure shrouded In black furs
from head to foot nnd standing Im
movable near the house I visit.
"Without permission I cannot place
my foot on tho frozen river, for It
would bo regarded ns an attempt to
escapo. All the night they nro look
ing into tho windows of my cabin."
Mothers a Thousand Exiles. ,
In another letter to n friend in this
country she says: "I did not receive
or hear of tho money you sent me.
Often my heart overflows with sorrow,
for there Is much need of help hero,
where many boys have their feet fro
zen for want of a suitablo booting. 1
feel I am responsible, for I consider
tho young people as my own children,
my grandsons."
Another of the exiles in Siberia
writes, "Sho cares for and mothers a
thousand exiles, giving them heart and
courage."
CLASS WITHOUT A TEACHER.
Cincinnati Pupils Are Their Own In
structors In Civics.
A teacberless class has been started
at Woodward high school, Cincinnati.
It works automatically. Tho teacher
leaves tho room. The pupils, under
command of a full set of their own
officers, proceed to the regular order
f the day's business, ust as they
would at a meeting of a fraternity
Tho teacher is not missed at all.
And thus besides learning the sub
ject at hand tho teacberless pupils get
a special byproduct course in self gov
trnment, leadership and Initiative.
At present the teacberless system Is
applied to the civics course. It was
devised by Frank P. Goodwin, head of
the civics department, whoso theory is
that the best way to teach civics is to
let civic classes covern tbemsnlvn
SLUMP IN "BEER" PRODUCTION
Decrease In Output of Beverage of
1,106,429 Barrels Compared With
the Previous Year.
Looks as If beer drinking is on tho
decline in the United States.
Uncle Sam produces the figures 10
provo it.
According to the annual report of
the Internal revenue commissioner for
the fiscal year ending Juno SO, there
was a decrease In the output of beer
of 1,106,429 barrels compared with the
previous year.
That's a big decrease.
Counting 30 gallons to the barrel,
and thoro is more, It means a slump
of 33,192370 gallons.
Counting only ten glasses to the gal
lon, It means a docroase of 831,928,700
drinks.
Counting each drink flvo cents, 1'
shows that $16,590,455 less was spent
for beer in 1912 than in 1911.
There was an Increase In tho pro
duction of whisky, but tho bonded
warehouses are filled with the stuff,
and distillers are all "fussed up" be
cause the supply is far exceeding tho
demand.
Americans aro not all on tho water
wagon by any means, but more of
them are climbing aboard right along.

crease Would Do for the State
of Illinois.
National Crop Improvement Service.
An increase of ten bushels of corn
to the acre upon the 6,628,909 acres

An increase of ten bushels of oats
to the acre upon the 2,766,087 acres
seeded in the state of Illinois in 1911
