CNbator Co, f » ..jl FARM FACTS I BXG PBXSE FOB AB DTVEM TXOW. Th« department of agriculture hag received a message from. Min ister of Agriculture Mackenaie, of New Zealand, stating his govem i ment has announced an offer of a bonus of IXOOO pounds sterling for Improved methods to be used in connection with the preparation and utilisation of New Zealand hemp. Minister Mackenaie re quested Secretary Wilson to give the offer publicity as the circula tion of this information will be for the benefit of American inventors and others in the United States. I The offer is open to applicants un til November 30, 1913. The condi tions f the offer are “the extrac tion and dressing of fiber from the New Zealand hemp plant; the utilisation of the by-products ob tained during the processes of ex tracting of the fiber, on condition that the machine or process in regard to which the whole or any part of the bonus is to be paid shall be recommended by the New Zealand Flax-Miller’s association and approved by the government.” Minister Mackenxie has furnish ed Secretary Wilson with a leaflet giving full particulars on the sub ject- EFFICIENT STOVE SCREEN. So many little children who are just toddling about get burned by falling against the heating stove, that every stove 1 where there are children about should have some sort of a screen made about it. For sev eral years we used one made ot ■ common iifi-lnch field fence, made of No. 11 wire. Simply cut enough of the wire to reach around the stove | with about six Inches of space : between the screen and the stove. Make a base of 3x4 lumber, as the wire alone Is not heavy , enough to stay in place. It should not be nailed to the floor, but so It can be raised up for sweeping, etc. If a heavy zinc board is used under the stove the screen can be made to just fit on the outsid of it and thus be more firmly fixed in place. HELPS FOR THE WIFE. If the bottom of vessels In which custards are baked are slightly greased the mixture will not stick. Leather-covered furniture can be cleaned with sweet milk ap p.ied with a piece of soft flan nel. Rub gently until dry. China on which is gilt decora tion should not be washed in strong soap suds or water con taining pewter. In washing ordinary china the hotter the water the more eas ily the pieces will dry and the brighter they will be. Dish cloths should be kept scrupulously clean by washing thoroughly in soap and water, well rinsed and hung in the air after using. An ordinary brick is excellent ’or an iron stand and if heated before using the irons will keep hot much longer than with the common iron stand. WOTXS OP TXX SMHEPTOLD. During the past two or three years Japan has sent some of its expert stock growers to Amreica to learn how to raise sheep and it is understood that sheep raising will be extensively engaged in over there. No use to try to raise sheep on wet or boggy land. High rolling ground that is not valuable for agriculture can be made to pay handsomely by putting sheep on it. There are thousands of acres of rough land in the west that are lying idle, but might be turned into a yearly profit if sheep were raised on it. Many farmers say they do not ■ raise sheep because they are more, subject to disease than other ani mals. Not so. More sheep die from damp, filthy quarters, ex posure to rain and snow and from being kept on low lands than jfrom disease. HELPS FOB THE DAIIYMAH One thing ought always to be considered when men start out to buy pure bred cattle. That is, that the knowledge, skill and character of the man who bred them is about as important as is the animals they are to buy. Expand your feed supply with a silo. Skim milk is less digestible than whole milk. The safety lies in light feeding. It is not the gross income' but the net profits that measure the success of a dairy business. We not only need to develop a good working stomach on a calf, but a good acting heart. This cannot be done without pure air. sunlight and plenty of exercise. The reason why so many dairy men are not making a profit is because they take so little time to give thought to the pamphlets and papers that are sent broadcast all over the country, portraying in such excellent way the need of better cows, better methods and better feeds. Chas. W. Plickenger, a farm er near Sabetha, Kans., has a cow six years old and she has dropped eleven calves in four years—triplets three limes and twins once. ,_. , I THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1912. “PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT I DO” Mrs. Warwick Does Her Work and Takes Care of Her Three Little Children Without Difficulty Kokomo. Ind.—*T had ben sick for twelve weeks,” says Mrs. Matilda War wick, of this place, "when I commenced to use Cardul. I was almost dead. I could not sit up, and nobody thought I would get well. I had three of the best doctors in Kokomo, but they did not help me a bit. I was getting worse all the time, when a lady friend of mine told me to try Cardul. My husband got me a bot tle of Cardul, and a few doses relieved my trouble. If it had not been for Cardui, I believe I would have been dead. Now I am feeling well and strong. I can do my housework, and take care of three little children. People ask me what I do to have such good health, and I tell them I use Cardul. One of my friends is using it now, and is getting along fine. I will never be without Cardui in my house.” Cardui is a vegetable extract, compos ed of valuable medicinal ingredients, which build up vitality and strengthen the womanly constitution. During the past 50 years, Cardul has helped thousands of weak women to health and strength. If you suffer from any symptoms of womanly trouble, try Cardui. It will surely help you. N.

NEW MACHINE TO SAVE SUFFOCATED MINERS (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Thousands* of lives will be saved in the future in the opinion of bureau of Mines offi cials, by means of an oxygen pumping apparatus with which the bureau’s workers during the last year restored to life more than 30 persons wjio had ceased breathing. By means of the lung filling and emptying machine used by the bureau, oxygen is forced in. the poisonous gases drowned out and normal breathing started. The machine acts automatically, any effort on the part of the individual hinder ing rather than helping it. In drowning cases, gas poisoning and electrocution accidents there will be many revivals it is believed by the prompt use of the oxygen device. Hun dreds of inquiries have reached the bureau of mines from hospitals, physi cians and municipal authorities asking about the value of the machine. An official of the bureau today said that in his opinion the time is near when every police patrol will be equipped with one of the machines. FKEE ASTHMA CURE D. J. Lane, a chemist at 120 Lnne Bldg..

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.—Frank Punshon. who says he has spent 47 years and one month of his 65 years of life in the penitentiaries at Joliet, 111., and Waupun, Wis., was arrested last night, charged with operating a confidence game. Punshon was released from the Joliet penitentiary January 10 last. Ten hours later he had talked a woman rooming house keeper out of $lO in Chicago, he admitted. On* the Slide (By Associated Press.) SHELTON, Conn., Feb. 14.—William E. Hine, who is celebrating his 90th birth day at his home here, is’known to his neighbors as one of the most enthusiastic followers of winter sports, particularly tobogganing and coasting in this section. Nearly every day this winter he has been out with his speed sleds. SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY How Mrs. Bethune was Re stored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound. Sikeston, Mo. “For seven years I suffered everything. I was in bed for ofour or five days ata time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I had cramps, backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doc tors gave me medi cine to ease me at those times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband’s told him about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it. Now I look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do all my own house work, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the week. I wish I could talk to every suffering woman and girl, and tell them what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me.”—Mrs. Dema Bethune, Sikeston, Mo. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It has helped thousands of wofnen who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irreg ularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed. Why don’t you try it?/ - I v Vzzie "My Father, teach me the value oi little times and of little things. May J know the worth of the moment and tht trifle. May I light every deed with the light of life. May every moment gc away with sanctified supplication and service.” This prayer of J. H. Jewett’s for Sat urday, February 10th, confirmed me ir my impression that once more I must talk to the parents and young people about some of the snares that are laid for the unwary. About a year ago I wrote up some in cidents showing the dangers that threat ened girls who were traveling alone. That Chat so impressed one lady that when next she was on the train she looked about her with a deeper vision. She saw an unsophisticated girl and a very “slick-looking” man. He leaned across and tried to talk to the girl, but she only answered in monosylables. Fi nally this lady said to her husband, "I am going to see if I can’t move that girl.” She went down there and began to talk to her. The girl showed per relief and volunteered the information that the man had Insisted on her seeing Atlanta a short time and then take the train for a distant state. When they were nearing Atlanta the traveling man asked the girl if he could not see to her bags. The married lady thanked ' him and said she and her husband would look after them. If looks could have killed that lady would have been struck , dead with his glances. Mrs. Jay and her husband waited at the station until the girl’s train went out. Then to make sure that he was not on the train Mr. Jay rode to the first crossing. I do not say that the girl would have eventually been hypnotized into going with that man, but I do say that had she done so she would tn all probability have Joined the great number that every month sink under the waters of destruc tion. The girl who makes chance acquaint ances runs a terrible risk. Many girls pride themselves on being able to “take care of themselves.” How many times have girls laughingly tried to reassure me, when I have warned them against acquaintances or flirtatious ways, and in the end how many of those girls have fallen from their high estate. The Young Women's Christian associa tion, or the churches, usually have a woman in every station to meet the strange girls and send them to respec table boarding places, see them on their trains and help them get rid of obnox ious intruders. So many people com plain that she cry is “Money, money, money” all the time. So it must be, but Satan is spending dollars where many so-called Christians are only spending nickles, not even dimes; the people who give their time to help the world, and probably do your work, must be sup ported. I said to one girl, “Didn’t you know better than to act so? Hasn’t your mother ever talked to you about the folly of meeting strangers.” “No. Miss Thomas,” she laughed, and said I must keep my eyes open or I’d wish I’d never been born.” Well, I said you must see to it that your younger sisters are better prepared for the world's conflicts. Recently I have had two girls in my care that I must fell you about. Don’t try to place them for I am quite sure you never heard of these two, but they are only two of hundreds. Yes hundreds, for 1,700 girls were reported lost in a period of 30 days; between New York and Chicago. If that many were lost there think what the total would be. And this is one of the ways they go: These two were chums, and lived in a country community that prided itself on being “up-to-date.” Mary and Jo sephine, as I will name them, read an advertisement for some girls to join a theatrical school. Their expenses were to be paid and they were to sign an agreement to refund the money when positions were secured. That sounds plausible to very silly people, but folks with ordinary sense would ask why philanthropic people wanted to spend money that way, and they would sur mise that there was sure to be “a string to be pulled.” To make a long, sad story short, these girls had the money sent them, or tick ets to a certain city, for the "agents” were too smart to leave any definite traces. At the end of that first journey they were met and hustled on a train and carried at least seven hundred miles. When they reached their desti nation they were already sick of their plans, but not a word had been said to them. In that big city they were taken to a brilliantly lighted house and told that they were to rest that night and "meet the class” next day. They were put In sumptuously furnshed and sepa rate rooms. The younger girl cried and said she was afraid to stay alone; the other knew something was wrong, but she had no idea what. However, she joked Josephine and told her she wouldn’t let anybody run away with her. As she turned her back on her own door, Mary heard the lock click and, turning, saw that she was a pris oner. Quick as a thought can act, she fastened \the counterpane and sheet to gether and dropped out of a two-story window. She said she will never know hqw she escaped, but God helped her, and she was fortunate enough to find a policeman, to whom she told her story. After a little “red tape,” the house was searched; the Inmates declared they had never heard of such girls; but, after searching till about 1 o’clock, Josephine was found hidden in a closet. The question comes, “What are we to do?” In the first place, do not expect something for nothing, i, you see an ad vertisement. or get one of the many cir cular letters now flooding the country, and think you must answer it. Write a minister of your own denomination, or some association in that place. The Y. W. C. A., the Y. M. C. A., the Woman’s Temperance union, the church societies, will gladly investigate such things. I thank the dear Lord that there are good men and women who are willing to give their time and money to help the wo men and girls who neeed them. I heard Dr. Seigel talk the other day, and I wish every one could hear her. She made the trip from Europe to New York a peasant girl, just to see how to help them. She had such experiences on that voyage that her hair turned gray. Again, the question is asked, “What are we to do about it?” The answer Is, "Publicity, education, prosecution and real punishment.” Fines are laughed A WOMAN’S APPEAL To *ll knowln- sufferer* of rheumatism, wheth er mußcular or of the joint*, sciatica, lumbagoa. backache, pains in the kidneys or neuralgia pains, to write to her for a home treatment which haa repeatedly cured all ot these tortures. She feels it her duty to send it to all sufferers FBEE. You cure yourself at home as thousand* will testify—no change of climate being neces sary. This simple discovery banishes uric acid from the blood, loosens the stiffened joints, purifies the blood, and brightens the eyes, giving elasticity and tone to the whole system. If the above interests you, for proof address Mrs. M. Summers, Box 327, South Bend, Ind. at, and only manual labor will hurt such criminals. From the way the country is now flooded with these waves of oblivion, I am inclined to think that our Christian workers are aiding the laws In better protecting the girls who can not under stand our language. When I was in Japan, I saw the picture of one girl who wag sold for five thousand dollars, and boatloads were said to be gathered from the poor classes. This is not a pleasant subject, and I would that I might let it pass. But if Chat last year saved even one girl, let me have your prayers that some who are now considering some dangerous and reckless plan may first put it before some one who can investigate thorough ly. There are rescue homes, but the “ounce of prevention” is worth many pounds of cure in this case. Who can change the bruised lily or put the colors again on the butterfly’s wing? We can bind up the wounds and set them out of harm’s way if we find them in time, but alas! too many of them die unwept, unhonored and unsung! Unwept? Nay, a mother’s tears, prayers and letters may have been on the attar; but of what avail? The white slave may never have heard of them. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. HAPPY ALL THE TIME Cold! Dear me. It has been severe, but the sun shines at present and ground is thaw ing. I’ve been "‘gadding about” some; going to town and visiting with the “gude mon" aud baby. Rejoice with me, for I’m going to get an incubator right goon and then won't I be busy? But I love the work. Recently I heard from a dear friend in At lanta. She asked me what was the matter with the world's axis. That something must be wrong because Atlaata was where the north pole ought to be. She also admired the beauty of the world as it looked in its pure whiteness, sparkling with precious gems. She once lived near here, but she is happy in her new home, and enjoys the trips up town, etc., and after describing an afternoon up town, she said when she got home she felt glad there were no cowa, pigs nor chicken* to look after. I have often laughed at the trials she had contending with such things. She'd lose her ( temper when they went contrarywise. One day the cow got out and she started for her: the cow went on and on the wrong way. as cow* will do, she in close pursuit; they got in a muddy spot, and she lost a slipper. Then the chicken* would come in the house and did not care for a "shoo-shoo,” refused to be "shooed.” Then the pigs were always to be fed and attended to. Oh! the joys of coun try life and oh. the little trials. But here’s wishing everyone of the wives a “gude mon” (like mine, for instance), who doe* the outside tasks In all rough weather, also on Sundays. You know tneir work in the field is never on Sundays. MARION STEVENS.
