This is an exact representation of the
carton containing a bottle of St, Jo
seph’s Liquid Liver Regulator, but it is
much larger than this illustration, and
printed in black ink on a yellow carton.
Druggists and general merchants sell it
at 50 cents a bottle, or you can get it di
rect from us at the same price. This is
a delightful liver medicine—prompt,
effective, and exceedingly pleasant to
the taste. Try just one bottle to satisfy
yourself—and you’ll buy more.

A LINCOLN STORY.
Harvard’s President Springs One In
Lecture That is Worth While.
Professor A, L. Lowell, the new
president of Harvard TUniversity,
paused in one of his recent lectures
and smiled.
“That governmental difficulty,” te
said, ‘“was great—as great as the
diffieulty of Lincoln’s farmhand.
“Two farmhands, Lincoln used ‘o
say, were set upon by a huge bull
while crossing a rocky field. One
managed to gain a tree. The other
took refuge in a hole that proved to
have an exit in the rear.
“The man who had chosen the hole
was no sooner in at one end than he
was out at the other. With a bellow
the bull made for him. He turned
and again shot like lightning through
the thole. The bull once more bore
down upon him, and once more he was
in and out of hig hole.
“This strange pursuit kept up some
ten minutes or more. At first it mys
tified the farmhand up in the tree.
Then it angered him.
“‘Hey,” he shouted, ‘ye danged nin
compoop, why don't ye stay in the
bole? ’
‘“The bull was dashing from omne
end of the hole to -the other at
great gpeed, and the man was bobbing
in and out desperately. He heard,
however, his comrade’s shout, and
found time before his next brief dis
appearance to shout back:
“‘Danged nincompoop yerself!
There's a bear in the hole”’ "—Judge.
NUMBER 6.
A POULTRYMAN'S TROUBLES.
After selecting out my breeding
stock last summer 1 fed the cull cock
erels for about two weeks and dis-
Dosed of them as brollers. Then af
ter losing about thirty chicks by over-
Crowding we ended up the summer by
bousing about five hundred Plymouth
Bock pallets and placed them in our
calony houses with ample run in the
m‘é them end gave us a great deal
of troulle. By persistent effort with
spray of kerosene and casholic acid
we kept them in chech but had great
difficulty in clearing them out. We
found the large body lice in great
numbers ewen when we thought we
bad the better of them and they pre
ventedt the proper development of the
m, especially from the later
4. By using all the different
ingect remedies that we could get
dur hands on we finally got rid of the
sarge varicty of lce but it was not
tory long untll we discovered that
the colony houses were infested with
e [ittle red mite. We had been busy
ebout the f2dl work on the farm and
sipported that the poultry would be
¢l right without a great deal of at
tention, but that was swhere we were
nristaken. Upon close examinstion
we found the little red mites in great
mumbers packed eway In every crack
and crevice €0 we tmmediately pre-
Pared a strong solution of carbolic
acid end used it lbderally.
While the red mite comes guckly
at times end comes in great num
bers, i I 8 easter to dispose of them
than the regular lice because it does
ot rematn on the poultry during the
day time. The red mite i 3 moro
g? @ spider than a louse. It draws
witality £rom poultry at pight bus
Paves them in the morning to find
protection in out of the way places
dbout the chicken house.
My experience is that the difterent
powders sold on the market have
very little effect upon thess mites
A liquid disinfectant i 3 the onty sat
tsfactory remedy. 1 think a mixture
of carbolic acid and kercsene ofl i 3
about the best for the purpose. The
solution mmst be strong becanse the
[ttie things will stand a whole lot
of abusa I uwse one ounce as acid
so a gallon of ofl appMed by means
of a force pumd and spray nczzle,
I use it Merally about the house and
on the floor. It is g disinfectant as
well as a mrite killer.—Epitomist.
TOO MUCH ARSENIC.
Beware of using too much arsentec
In tree sprays, or of spraylng too
often, or of allowing too much drip
to fall on the soil. Prof. Headden be
lieves that arsenic sometimes accum
ulates in the ground under trees that
have been oversprayed during a
serles of years, until i{t reaches a
quantity that menaces the life of the
trees. In a recent bulletin he says: |
“Hundreds of such trees are dead or
sick beyond recovery, and ail show
the same symptoms. The first sign
is the appearance on the trunk of
chocolate colored spots. The bark
l 9 soon killed and driez down. The
foltage drops early so that diseased
trees are easily picked out in the
fall, and they will be found nearly
girdled with dead bark. The second
year the tree will start, but it dies
about mid-summer.”

NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Governor Brown brought to the cap
itol a country gourd, with a long
landle, He installed thls primitive
drinking devi#> at a water cooller
in the reception rcom of the capttol
building.
Senator Longley of the Thirty-sev
enth has introduced a Dbill providing
for the re-leasing of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, the property of the
state, at the termination of the pres
ent lease. In introducing the bill
Senator Longley stated ft was an ex
act copy of the measure introduced
four years ago by Senator McHenry,
of Rome and that he desired to give
him full eredit for it The bill.pro
vides that the governor shall be au
thorized to lease the Western and At
lantic railroad at the expiration of axe
present lease, for a period of sixty
years at a monthly rental of not less
than $60,000, to be pald monthly. The
fact that the railroad is for rent is to
be advertised and sealed bids recetw
ed up to 12 o'clock noon qu the see
ond Tuesd®® in Januery, 1911. Fach
bidder must deposit a certified check
for $25,000 and the sucoessful bidder
must give bond to the state for $600,-
000 for the prompt payment of the
rental and compliance in other re
spects with the lease contract. The
bill was referred to the committee on
Western and Atlantic railroad.
To limit the governor's power in
the matter of suspending raflroad
commissioners from office, is the ob
ject of a bill introduced in the senate
by Senator Frwin of the Eleventh.
Senator Irwin's measure, which was
referred to the general judicliary com
mittee, proposed to amend section
2185 of the civil code, 'relative to the
suspension of rallroad commission
ers, so as to limit the governor’s pow
er in this respect to cases where the
railroad commissioner involved has
become insane, where he is physically
unable to attend to or grossly ne
glects the duties of his office or
when he is guilty of some indictable
offense. The enactment of such a
measure would put it wholly beyond
the power of the governor to suspend
an official of that body for purelly
political causes.

Festive Day Dates Back to the
Romans.
- March 1 is a day of joyful festivity
among the school children in most
of the Engadine communes. At 4
o'clock in the morning a party of
Bchoolboys march through the village
oclanging cowbells, big and little, with
all their might, to proclaim the dawn
;d a boisterous day to their slumber-
Ing schoolmates still abed.
~ As the day grows bright the boys
gather, each one with a huge bell
hung round his neck, on the villays
Bquare, where they form in ranks
according to their sizo. When the
preparations, always conducted amid
great excitement and juvenile jubila
g:t have been completed, the pro
cession starts on a tour through the
i‘i"eet.a to the accompaniment of furi
ous bell ringing and noisy yodelling.
~ Ome of the cldest of the demonstra
tors, with a mikk pail on his shoulder,
In the costume of a dairyman, with
~ yellow Dreeches, white stockings, low
?oes, finally embroidered braces over
b shirt of spotless white, turned up
gleeves displaying a brawny arm, the
dalryman’s hat penched jauntily on
the back of his head, marches proud
ly at the head of the herd. At the
end of the procession is another big
Qé;y with a big staff in his hand, like
8 herdman.
All this reminds ug of the way ithe
cows go to the Alps to the sound
of bells. The whole festival is noth
ing but a spring celebration to her
eld the return of ¢he milder sean
son, which has been losked forward
to with longing for months.
The custom is said to be of Roman
origin, hence its name “Chalanda
Marz” (from Kalendare), which jus’i
fies the assumption that, from the pe
‘tfod of the year chosen for the ob
servance of the festival, it must have
originated in the mild climate of Italy,
and not in the cold clime of the En
gadine.
In the way described the troop
marches on from house to house, and
s presented by the matrons with rice,
chestnuts, saasages, bread, ang even
wine and money. The hotels are all
vigited, and the patrons always con
tribute some small change. OQut of
the proceeds 8 general jollification is
provided, at which the girls of the
{s the youngsters’ enjoyment of the
Chatanda Marz festivities can scarce
ly be imagined by any one who has
not looked on at these annual junKet
ings. So dear is the memory of the
old custom that even gray haired
men and women follow the clamorous
band of children, and ere ever ready
to bestow ecmse, small offering on
them. :
This spring festtval may, however,
heve a more primitive origin—in tho
universal propensity of man and wom
an fn ¢helr unmated state to get to
gether upon the first blush of spring,
to choose each one his or her mate
for the coming season—a modifisation,
indeed, of slmilar spring festivals
that reappear ) other countries In
dlsguised ceremonias.—New York
Tribune.
The Itallan government has estabe
lished a bureau to deal excilusivelry

strides.
AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.
A woman who has used Postum
since It came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coflee if one val
uves health and a clear brain. She
says’
“At the time Postum was first put
on the market 1 was suffering from
pervons dyspepsia, and my phystcian
had repeatedly totd me not to use tea
or coffes. Finally I declded to take
hts advice and try Postum. [ got &
package and had 1t carefully pre
pared, finding it delictous to the tasta.
8o I continued its use and very eoon
fts boneficial effects convinesd me of
its value, for 1 got well of my nerv
ousness and dyspopsia.
“My husband had been d@rinking
coffes all his Nfe until it had affected
hig nerves terribly, end I perseaded
him to shift to Postum. It was easy
to get him to make the change, for
the Postum is eo delicious. It cer
tainty worked wonders for him.
“We goon learned that Postum
foes not exhilarate or depress and
does pot stimulate, but steadily and
bonestly ctrengthens the nerves and
the stomach.
“Fo make a long story ehort, our
cnttre family continued to use Pos
tam with satisfying results, as shown
in our fine condition of health, and
we have noticed a rather unexpected
{fmprovement in brain and nerve pow
er”
Increased bratn and nerve power
always follows the use of Postum {n
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
arked manner. “There's a Reas
son.”
