RESTORED TO HEALTH.
Many weak, suffering women do not
know that their kidneys are sick.
Backache tells of sick kidneys, and so
do urinary dlsordors.

and constant depres

continually afflicted with the disease
that I began to despair of even tempor
ory relief. Sometimes I suffered so se
verely that 1 was confined to my bed.
The aching in my back was intense,
and the kidney disorder caused an ex
cess of uric acid in my blood which lm
paired my digestion. I was compelled
to deny myself of many of the little
delicacies of diet The doctors diag
nosed my case as congestion of the kid

Do Women Work Too Much?
The set phrase Just now among phy
sicians when It's a woman patient is:
"Oh, you're working too hard." The
words have become a rihibboleth In
the medical profession when treating
a woman. Grip, typhoid, pnoumonla
It really doesn't mutter what tho mal
ady is nor how little dependent it is
upon previous working conditions all
the doctor does is to take account of
tho patient's px and promptly charge
her with overwork. There have boon
coses of women down with smallpox
to whom the medical man has simply
said: "Ah, you're working too hard
that's the trouble with you. You need
to tnko a good rest A good rest will
bring you all right again."
The women doctors are just as bnd
about this as the men. It is apparently
the 'professional" attitude, first, to
deny women the right to work, and,
second, that all the Ills of her flesh is
heir to are due to work. The working
woman, pure and simple, does not en
Joy a monopoly of tho set- phrase,
though to her, of course, it is appllod
with extra vigor. '
Every variety of woman, from the
society woman and tho housewife
down to the maid of all work, gets but
the one diagnosis from her doctor
"You've been overdoing it and must
take a rest" The phrase is profes
sionally fashionable, and every doctor
of them falls into line with It Just as
a short time ago when another craze
was on you couldn't have a cold In
your brad without some physician
wanting to perform an operation for
appendicitis.
Treating Stubborn Hair.
Brushing, shampooing, etc., which
are such important elornents in good
grooming will improve evpn seeming
ly hopeless locks, while systematic
training, will, after a time, make the
most obBtlnate tialr lay in the desired
direction. Because the hair has been
somewhat neglected la this respect In
the past do not work on the principle
thai if a certain amount of car la
boneflclal a good deal will do wonders;
heroic measures almost always prove
disastrous. Coax, but do not force
matters) as too frequent brushing and
other manipulations of tho hair irritate
the scalp and cause the hair to fall
out. Hair which Is scrupulously clean
but very stubborn in Its habits of
growth needs training Instead of sham
pooing, a common error in this day of
good grooming. Close observation will
soon teach ono tho difference between
fluffy hair and that which is extremely
dry. Never under any circumstances
allow the hair to remain at night in
tho coll or plnlts worn during tho day
or Injury la done the scalp, nnd the
hair soon assumes awkward lines,
from the hours of pressure In the
wrong direction. Beforo retiring brush
the hair throughly and confine It In
ono or two very loose plaits. This
will Insure a frco circulation of air
through the hair and relax the deli
cate muscles of the scalp which are
nioro or less Irritated by the pressure
of numerous pins and tho weight of
tho hair confined largely at one point
To nsslst in the training moisten the
hair with a little good tonic such as
a preparation of quinine and bay rum
containing a email percent of oil, and
brush In tho desired direction each
time brushing Is done.
Experiences of a Woman Lecturer.
No public speaker should ever apol
ogize for anything but a cold, and
that Is so apparent that It cannot be
helped by an apology. To apologize
for the subject or tho wny It Is treated
(as I havo heard done) Is not only
foolish but directly harmful to the
effect of the lecture. And should it be
necessary to apologize for being late,
tho briefest explanation only should
b? offered. Naturally a lecturer must
endeavor not to be late, but accidents
to cars, etc., cannot always be es
caped. Once In Brooklyn a blizzard
had stopped tOio cars bo that connec
tions necessary for me to make were
Impossible. Nor could a cab be found;
there was nothing to do but wait and
on a cold corner; the audience In the
hall waited three-quarters of an hour.
Not long ago, when Btuglng through
tho Redwoods of California, from the
coast to an Inland town, where I was
duo on the platform at 8 o'clock, a do-
lay occurred far up the mountain. It
seemed Impossible to roach tho town
In season, but furious driving on tho
down grade, with (rasping passengers
holding on for safety, finally landed
me at my destination, dust-covered
and breathless, at a quarter to eight
That audience had to wait 15 minutes
for mo to removo somo of tho dust
and bo able to speak, and so great
had been tho effect on the eyes of tho
jolting drive that when the platform
was reached I could see nothing
straight; it would have been lmpoS'
Ible to speak from notes. These acci
dents prove that one must be pre
pared for any emergency. Wet or dry
though the weather be, an engage
ment must be kept, and only once
bavo I known a storm to be too severe
to prevent tho assembling of an audi

Fashion Notes.
Greens always revive with the com'
lng of spring.
Box-pleated sklrfs are to be a lead
lng mode for walking wear.
Summer dresses, promise to be elab-
through be-rufiled and lace-adornod.
You can't have too many buttons on
your swn, but choose them with dis
cretion. Walking suits of black zlbellne are
made dashing by bands and bands of
gold braid.
Japanese' flowers and butterflies
play a largo part In tho trimming
scheme at present.
A' noticeable fact about the spring
suits is that so many of them are
made of heavy fabrics.
Narrow flowered ribbons to run
through lingerie are newer and pret
tier than the plain sort
Black shoes laced up with white
strings are among the queer things af-
focted by faddish women.
Deep- close-fitting cuffs, some reach
ing almost to the elbow, are in evl
dence on the new blouses. '
Shirt waist suits of plalded, striped
and figured mohairs, in lovely colors,
are to add gayety to the spring land
scape.
Pollia-dot designs are prominent on
foulards and liberty satins some In
big spots and some in little whirls of
white dots.
To be correct tho wldo bodice girdle
should be seven Inches deep and
straight across the bach, cut on the
straight of the material and shaped
to the figure by three or four seams.
Orange and "old green" are favorite
colors at present, and they are almost
universally becoming. Orango lights
up equally well under artificial or sun
light, and all the green tones carry
so much of nature's "life" in them
that they are refreshing.
Food for Poultry.
Thera Is always more or less refuse
from the kitchen that can go to the
poultry. This should bo properly pre
pared so as to give the greatest amount
of benefit. At all country homes thero
Is more cr leas milk that can be used
In mixing up a very enjoyable feed for
the fowls. If the llttlo fragments of
meats be cut fine, the refuse from veg
etables, fruits, etc., and bread crusts
be thrown In an old pan or pot where
some milk can be poured over the mess
and a little meal and bran or shorts
stirred in to thicken It up, to tnke off
all sloppy condition, It will be found a
fine feed for the fowls. They will
show their appreciation of it by eat
ing It greedily, and keeping a lookout
for this feed. It should be fed In a
trough so It will not get wasted by dirt
or eaten by other animals. Try sav
ing the basis of a good mess for the
fowls by keeping the kitchen refuse,
and you will be greatly rewarded by
more eggs and healthier fowls.
Lime and Sulphur Wash.
Fruit growers are quite Interested
in the formula composing the new In
secticide, lime and sulphur, but have
found tho labor of making It consider
able because of the necessity for boil
ing the mixture. Recent experiments
have shown that If potash or caustic
soda Is used, there will be no neces
sity Tor boiling. The formula for
making in this way Is this: Take 20
pounds of sulphur, 40 pounds of lime,
five pounds of caustic soda and CO
gallons of water. Make a thin paste
of the sulphur and dissolve the caustic
soda In water.
In slaking the lime, use only enough
water to make it boll rapidly. During
the process of slaking, pour Into the
lime the sulphur paste, nnd then the
caustic soda solution, adding water If
necessary and stirring rapidly until all
bubbling stops, when dilute with water
to the consistency and strength need
ed for tho spraying. The use of this
material In spraying Is not only a de
cided check on scale, but very effec
tive against various Insects. Applica
tions may be made in the late fall, in
midwinter nnd in the early spring.
Indlnnopolls News.
Saving the Pear Tree.
The tree that had borne bushels of
fine pears was stricken with blight.
Six ends of limbs were brown. The
women folks of the family were de
pendent on that 16-year-old standard
tree for pears to eat and to preserve.
They diagnosed the case, and by the
application of domestic remedies saved
the tree. Two years have passed
since, and no signs of blight and no
diminution of fruit.
First the affected limbs were sawed
off about two feet from the tips, and
burned. The ground was raked and
chopped of every blade of grass and
weed. A trench about a foot deep, In
a circle, all around, and as far out fcs
the shado of the limbs extended, was
spaded out and filled In with wood bbIi
es and old dried dairy compoBt. The
trunk of the treo was scrubbed with
the waste kitchen water, strong suds
of gold dust washing powder, every
few days. During July and August the
trench was watered -J.wleo or three
times a week, and wood ashes scat
tered over the ground under the tree
once each month. This routine,
whether sustained by science, had tho
effoct of bringing tho family favorite
pear tree back to its normal condition,
and for two years past has so con
tinued. Blankets for Horses.
Touching upon the use of blankets
for horses, a good horseman says they
aro an essential feature for Btable use,
when horses are standing there in the
winter season.' He says: "A blanket
should always be thrown over the
horse in cold weather of spring and
autumn, when standing after boing
driven. While the horse is working
there Is no danger that he will suffer
from tho cold. If a blanket Is used
the average horso will sweat and the
molBlure will be retained, and in this
way the danger from taking cold is
much greater. A horse should always
be blanketed, when standing In a draft
or in the rain, using a cloth or rubber
blanket, as the case may be. After a
hard drlvo and tho horso has become
heated, do not cover him for about
Ove minutes, letting him steam. Then
put on a light blanket; allow this to
remain half on hour, then remove this
and put on your heavy one. This
gives the animal a warm, dry covering,
after you have removed the light
blanket, which Is wet from the steam
of the horse. A thorough rubbing
first, if convenient, is excellent. In
blanketing your horse see that the
blanket is sufficiently large to cover
tho animal from neck to tall; see also
that the breast flaps are sufficient to
protect this sensitive part, and' that
the sides and flank ore fully protected.
If not do not buy it at any price. In

The Vines and Tubers.
Potash is the principal plant food
preferred by the potato crop, and phoB
phorlo acid la likewise an indispensa
ble nocesBlty; that is, so far as tubers
are concerned. But the tons are also
to be made, for without good growth of
vine the difficulty of producing a large
yield of tubers will be increased, pot
ash existing largely In the vines. The
manure, as stated, should be well rot
ted, as In that condition it becomes
more available as plant food. Fresh
manure, as all should know. Interferes
with the keeping Qualities of the tub
era, engendering disease and decay.
Dot only while they are In the ground
and growing, but also after being har
vested and stored arvay. Chemical
fertilizers aro better for potatoes
than for any other crop, as such fer
tilizers ore surer and cheaper in the
end, and furnish better quality of tub
ers. For an acre of potatoes a fair
proportion would be about 75 pounds
nitrate of soda, 201) pounds muriate;
but these proportions must be varied'
to suit the soli. If the soil Is fertile
less quantities will suffice, and In oth
er cases tho nltrato might bo Increased,
If preferred. This fertilizer may be
broadcasted on the surface, after the
land has been mado ready, and after
tho potatoes have been covered tip.
Then go over all with a light harrow,
and before the young plants are very
high a healthy appearance will denote
the telling effects of the fertilizer; but
the use of fertilizer In the hills or rows
Is preferred by many. Before plant
ing the tubers cut and roll them in
plaster. Cut a week .before planting,
a.nd they will sprout the sooner for it.
In using Paris green for the bugs let
It be mixed with plaster. Wood ashes
may also be used liberally on potatoes,
broadcasted over the surface. Keep
down the grass and weeds, as they rob
the potatoes of moisture In tho dry
times. Give plenty of room to each
plant In which to grow, nnd keep the
cultivator busy.
Roosts for Poultry.
There Is nn Idea current which has
come from a scientist who has discov
ered why a hen sits on the roost with
out falling off while asleep. The phys
iological larw is that when the leg
and shank of a fowl Is extended the
toes are free to act without hindrance.
When the leg Is drawn up next to the
body the tendons are so constructed as
to close up the toes, and this charac
teristic is not to be controlled at will.
According to this Idea a hen gets on
the roost, sits down and by doing so
bends the shanks, which closes the
toes about the roost and It Is Impos
sible for her to fall off until she rises.
Now this Is a nice theory and would
be fine it It were so, but we have grave
doubts of its being so. For Instance,
we have had our fowls sitting on a
perch that Is flat and fowls cannot put
their toes around It When they sit
down on that perch or on the floor of
coop their feet are not drawn up as
If closed around a perch. Watch a
hen covering her' brood and see how
her toes are spread out while she is
crouched In a sitting position.
Nature has not been blind to the
fowl's wants. Being a bird that roosts
while It sleeps It has been endowed
with that Instinct which makes It safe
on a polo one foot from the ground or
on a bough 50 feet up In a tree.
We have discarded all round roosts
and likewise flat ones. Pole roosts
should havo the bark removed from
them, since Is makes a hiding place
for lice and mites. We like a piece of
sawed stuff two Inches square with
the corners rounded off for perches.
These are dressed bo as to be smooth
and we like them better than any
other.
Roosts should not be fixtures,
neither should one be placed above
another like the rungs of a ladder.
By having all roosts movable they can
be taken from their place and treated
In any way that will free them from
vermin. They can be scalded with
boiling water or they can be scorched
with fire or treated in any manner that
Is suggestive of good results. Place
tho roosts so they will be convenient
for the breed of fowls kept. They
should not be too high from the floor.-
Iowa Homestead.
Pouftry Notes,
Season soft food with salt. It sharp
ens appctlto and aids digestion.
Hens will pay well for table scrapa,
It is wasteful to feed them to mon
grel dogs and cats.
Why are fowls the most profitable
creatures a farmer keeps? Because for
every grain they give a peck.
Before you give a sick fowl liquid
medicine, be sure that its nostrils are
clear, or it may be strangled to death.
Litter in which there is tough, wiry
hay is not safe to put on the scratching
floor. If eaten it causes cross-pound
conditions.
Keep a record of both your sales and
expenses, and don't forget to give the
hens credit for what you consume in
your own family.
Much time Is wasted on farms by
the men folks that might be made prof
itable by caring for the poultry and pro
ducing winter eggs.
Poultry raising has many advan
tages In that there Is always a small
income from the beginning, from the
eggs and chickens, old and young.
To renew the vitality of a flock it is
net necessary to cross-breed and make
them mongrels. Better get males of a
different strain or family of the same
variety.
There Is a certain time when poul
try that are being fattened are jUBt
ripe and fit to kill. If left even for a
few days beyond this period, they lose
rather than gain In flesh, and the ex
tra food given them may be regarded
as a useless expense. This condition
In the birds, whether fowls, turkeys or
ducks, can readily be told by an ex
port, and any one, of course, guess it
by practice and observation. It Is
quite worth while for' all poultry keep
ers to try to gain this knowledge.
