“'T'HERE are thousands of you men and
women, just like I once was—slaves
to rheumatism, muscle pains, joint pains,
and horrible stiffness. I had the wrong
idea about rheuma-
tism for years. I
didn’t realize that
increasing blood
cells had the effect
of completely
knocking out rheu-
matic impurities
from the system.
That is why I be-
gan using S. S. S.! Today I have the
strength I used to have
years ago! I don’t use
my crutches any more.”

Loosen Up That Cold
With Musterole
Have Musterole handy when a cold
starts. It has all of the advantages of
grandmother’s mustard plaster WITH-
OUT the blister. You just apply it with
the fingers.. First you feel a warm tingle
as the healing ointment penetrates the
pores, then comes a soothing, cooling
sensation and quick relief.
. _ Made of pure oil of mustard and
other simple ingredients, Musterole is
recommended by many nurses and
doctors. Try Musterole for bronchitis,
sore throat, stiff neck, pleurisy, rheu-
matism, lumbago, croup, asthma, neu-
ralgia, congestion, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sore muscles, sprains,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of
the chest. It may prevent pneumonia
and “flu.”
To Mothers: Musterole is also
made in milder form for
babies and small children.
Ask for Children’s Musterole.

is worth living. I have never before
given my name to advertise a medicine,
but you cannot imagine how different
I feel since I discovered Carter’s Little
Liver Pills.”

THE WOLF
“I used to be wild,” said the Wolf.
“I used to hunt in the winter time
with many members of my family and
then the rest of the year I used to
stay with Mrs. Wolf.
“Of course Mrs. Wolf was interested
in her darling little babies as they
came along, but she and I were always
very devoted.
“I suppose you know that we’re
members of the wild dog family.
“If you •will look at many dogs you
will see that they look something the
way we do.
“Far up North where dogs pull sleds
they are more like wolves than like
dogs.
“Our homes are in caves or hollow
places where we can be safe.
“Of course that may not be a very
good word to use as we were never
exactly safe.
“We’re not as safe as we used to be.
A man wrote a book in which he said
that it made him angry when people.
said the lion was not the King of the
Beasts and as brave as he’d been made
out to be.
“This man who knew a lot about
wild animals, in Africa and far away
places like that, said that the lion had
always been brave but that since men
had gone about with guns the lion had
known enough not to take chances for
the odds were all against him.
“So it is with us.
“It’s not an even match when with
one shot from a gun they can get the
better of a wild animal.
“The wild animal can’t do anything
against a gun. It’s useless.
“Well, here I am in the zoo, away
from all such dangers. But I miss the
old foaming life.
“I miss the grand old hunts and
raids wTe used to have on sheep farms* *
“Oh, what’ a time we had in those
days.
“Maybe we were cruel. I suppose
we were. But still it was in our na-
tures.
“We thought of what we could get
in the way of food and we liked our
food raw.
“We went in great numbers. Often,
too, we’d frighten a whole sheep-fold.
“We were a dangerous-looking lot
Common Barberry
Is Readily Killed
Shrub Is Responsible for
Spread of Stem Rust.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The common barberry, which is re-
sponsible for the spread of the black
stem rust disease of small grain, is
very difficult to kill by digging but Is
readily killed by certain chemicals,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture. Fragments of roots
smaller than a lead pencil left in the
digging operation frequently have been
known to sprout, and even small chips
from the crown may do so when con-
ditions are favorable. The use of
chemicals does away with this diffi-
culty and Is strongly recommended
wherever other plants will not be en-
dangered and where a slight steriliza-
tion of the soil for a few years will not
be objectionable.
The -department’ has tested many
chemicals in the effort to find the best
means of killing the barberries. Sev-
eral have been found which are effec-
tive, and the use of two of these, com-
mon salt and kerosene, is described in
Department Circular 332, just issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
From 5 to 10 pounds of dry salt is
sufficient to kill bushes having a group
of shoots at the base of from 6 to 12
Inches in diameter. The plants may be
cut down or left standing, but the salt
should surround all shoots and care
should be taken to surround any out-
lying shoots as well. If there is dan-
ger of the salt being disturbed by live-
stock, it may be covered by dirt or
stones or brush, etc. The treatment’
is successful at any time of the year
when the ground is not* frozen.
Kerosene is used to kill the bushes
by applying at the base In such a
manner that It wets the base of every
shoot and also the ground for 3 or 4
Inches around each shoot’. The amount
necessary varies from 2 quarts for a
bush having a group of shoots 6 inches
in diameter to 1 gallon for a bush with
a 12-inch base. This treatment is suc-
cessful if applied at any time during
the growing season, but the action of
kerosene is slow and immediate results
should not be expected. An advantage
of kerosene over salt is In the fact that
live stock need not be kept away from
the treated bushes.

ture, Washington, D. C.
“Here I Am in the Zoo."
when there were many of us, even my
mate and I didn’t look feeble.
“Oh, what days those were! I think
of them here.
“I know that here I’ll be well fed.
“I know that I won’t go hungry. But
I often long for the old life when I
looked out for myself.
“I’m sure people feel the same .way
many times. I’m sure many fathers
qmd mothers like it better working
hard to get’ along and provide for
themselves and for their children, than
if they lived in great hotels where they
were neyer allowed freedom but were
given plenty of good food and never
had to worry about their* living.
“I think they’d rather worry a little
than have it’ all handed to theifi.
» “That is what I think.
“But I don’t really mind. When my
darling wolf mate met with an acci-
dent I didn’t care. I let them catch
me.
“I said:
“ ‘What does it matter now?’
“So I wasn’t so careful any more.
If they want me here at the zqo and
want to let people look at me I don’t
mind.
“I’m as contented here as anywhere
I think now. They look after me well,
and I’m paying them by behaving my-
self and allowing myself to be gazed
upon.
“Yes. I’m as happy here as any-
where. Sometimes I dream of the good
old wild days, but then my mate was
with me. -
“It would be different if I were back
there now. I’m just as well off here.
“That’s what this wolf has to say
for himself, anyway.”
Nursery Notions
The Smithson family had been out
of town for some months, and while
they were away their whole house
had been thoroughly done up from top
to bottom. Every room had been
papered, painted, and new furniture
put in.
The youngest child of the family,
Elsie, aged six, was delighted at the
new arrangements, and especially that
a mirror had been placed against her
cot.
“I like that, mummie!” she an-
nounced on seeing it.
“And why do you like it, darling?”
inquired the fond mamma.
“Because,” explained the child,
“now I shall be able to see myself
when I am asleep.”
Alfalfa Is Replacing
Timothy in Cow Ration
“Alfalfa is finding a permanent
place on many Wisconsin farms,” de-
clares L. F. Graber, agronomist of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture, “but
it is not replacing the large acreage of
timothy and other grasses as rapidly
as it should.”
Farmers have hesitated in growing
alfalfa because they have not had suf-
ficient knowledge of the cultural prac-
tices of this wonderful legume, is the
opinion of Graber. Only within the
.past year has alfalfa taken a rapid
step forward. Dairy farmers are real-
izing that in order to make dairying a
profitable business, they must find a
dependable crop, one that can be
grown from year to year, and aid in
cutting ,down their feed bills. They
want to replace the timothy and wild
grasses which now make up. over
three-fourths of the roughage used in
rations on Wisconsin dairy farms.
Because of its resistance to drought,
its wide range -of soil and climatic
conditions, its large yields per acre,
alfalfa has advantages over any other
crop as a solution to the dairy farm-
er’s problem.
Few Hints for Careful
Pruning of Young Trees
Young apple and peach trees have
been pruned too severely in the past
and bearing trees have been pruned
■too lightly or too infrequently, Paul
Thayer, fruit extension specialist of
Pennsylvania State college, says.
Every orchard grower should aim to
secure three things in his young
orchard at the earliest date possible.
Thayer reports. These are strength,
growth and productiveness. Pruning,
especially heading back, interfc«’es
with fruit bearing, but after fruit trees
are mature and fruit bearing estab-
lished, the trees should receive a care-
ful and increasingly thorough annual
pruning.

SANITATION URGED
TO FIGHT DISEASE
Dr. V. A. Moore of the New York
state veterinary college at Cornell uni-
versity says that the best way as yet
known to fight the poultry plague
which has alarmed so many poultry-
men is by thorough and adequate sani-
tation. No remedy is known for sick
fowls, nor is any drug kqown that
can be given to healthy ones to im-
munize them.
With these facts In mind, Doctor
Moore offers the following suggestions
to poultry growers to help them in
fighting this swiftly working malady:
Keep houses clean and well ventilated,
and feed no garbage containing raw
chicken flesh or viscera. At least one
outbreak was started from feeding hens
infected viscera. Be sure that any
new fowls come from a healthy source,
and Isolate newly purchased fowls In
a separate house for at least ten days
before they are placed in the home
flock. Watch all poultry carefully.
Remove any sick ones promptly and
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
place. Burn or bury dead fowls.
Clean and disinfect all used poultry
crates brought on the premises. Cats
and dogs should not pass from one
poultry house or farm to another, and
owners, attendants, or other persons
Should not go from farms on which
fowl plague exists to other poultry
ijarms or houses. Take precautions to
prevent the virus from being brought
■fio the premises on implements, cloth-
ing or animals, and if the virus should
gain entrance, keep It from getting
away and into other flocks. All in-
fected poultry houses should be
cleaned, the litter burned or burled
and the floors, roosts, feeding and wa-
tering dishes and nests disinfected.
In describing the symptoms of the
disease, he says the head hangs down,
the comb and wattles become bluish in
color, and the temperature, which at
first Is high, drops to subnormal. The
nose and intestines discharge, and
this matter is heavily charged with
the virus causing the disease. As the
plague is reported to be more active
in summer than in winter, it is impor-
tant that its spread be checked and
the virus destroyed as soon as pos-
sible. - The main thing, says Doctor
Moore, is to destroy diseased birds
and keep healthy fowls away from
them, either before or after death.
Soft Shelled Eggs Are
Caused by Too Much Fat
Hatching eggs should be tested as
early as the fifth day, but in the case
of beginners particularly the seventh
day of incubation is the best for the
first test. By that time it Is an easy
matter to detect the infertile egg.
A cardboard with a round hole about
an inch in diametef cut In the center
makes a good egg tester. The room
should be dark excepting for the light
used in testing. The cardboard should
be held between the operator and the
light and the eggs placed one at a
time before the small hole in the card-
board. The. germ will then be easily
located.
The dead germ Is readily distin-
guished from the live germ, as it will"
show a grayish, lifeless appearance.
The infertile egg will appear as clear
as an ordinarily fresh egg. On the
other hand, the fertile egg will show a
dark spot in the center, with numerous
blood vessels radiating from It. The
eggs that do not show a live germ
should of course be removed.
It Is advisable to test again about
the fourteenth day, as sometimes the
germ dies in the course of develop-
ment. Such eggs should also be re-
moved at once, as decay is very rapid
and frequently they cause changes In
the temperature of the incubator.
Guinea Hens Are Wild
Guinda hens usually are too wild to
be set anywhere except in the nest
where they have become broody, and
often such a nest is unsafe. Because
of these disadvantages and the fact
that guinea hens do not make the most
satisfactory mothers for guinea chicks,
ordinary hens are most often used to
do both the incubating and the brood-
ing, at least until late In the summer,
when the guinea hens often are allowed
to sit and raise a brood without much
attention being given them.
Poultry Facts
Chickens should be put on the mar-
ket as soon as they are ready.
* * *
One might better hold stock In a
wildcat scheme than to buy feed for
poor layers. Cull.
♦ ♦ *
Soy be'an meal added to the poultry
mash must not be made a substitute
for animal protein.
* * ♦
Proper feeding and early marketing
are two of the most important factors
in the raising of chickens for profit.
• •
Egg shell color does not affect the
food value of eggs, but it does make
a difference In the appearance. All
brown or all white eggs will command
the highest prices.
♦ ♦ *
Very few poultry houses are free
from mites, and where these pests are
present in large numbers one cannot
expect good success in getting his hens
to lay.
Feel Achy After Every Cold?
A RE you lame and stiff; tired and nervous—-constantly
troubled with backache and twinges of pain?
Have you given any attention to your kidneys?
Grip, colds and chills, you know, are apt to be mighty hard
on the kidneys. And if the overtaxed kidneys fail to prop-
erly filter the blood, impurities accumulate and throw the
whole system out of tune. Then may follow daily back-
ache, rheumatic pains? headaches, dizziness and annoying
kidney irregularities.
In such conditions a good stimulaflt diuretic should
help the kidneys flush the poisons out of your system.
Use Doan's Pills. Doan’s have helped thousands. Are
recommended by folks you know. Ask your neighbor!
A Texas Case
W. H. Hancock, part owner service station, Wil-
barger _St., Vernon, Texas, says: “My kidneys were
out of order and the secretions passfed too freely. At
night this bothered me most, as I had to get up so
often. I also had a dull ache in my back. I took
Doan’s Pills and they cured me. My kidneys acted
normally and I was no longer bothered wit-h back-
ache.”

WHEN you are constipated, poi-
sons are formed in the accumu-
lated food waste, and reach all parts of the
body. The first results, headaches, bilious-
ness, a feeling of “heaviness”, etc., serve
as warnings of graver diseases to follow
if this intestinal poisoning continues un-
checked. _
This is why intestinal specialists state
that constipation is the primary cause of
three-quarters of all illness, including the
gravest diseases of life.
Physicians Advise Lubrication
for Internal Cleanliness
Medical science has found at last in lubri-
cation a means of overcoming constipa-
tion. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, pene-
trates and softens the hard food waste,
and thus hastens its passage through and
out of the body. Thus, Nujol brings in-
ternal cleanliness.
Nujol is not a medicine or laxative and
- cannot gripe. Like pure water, it is harm-
less. Take Nujol regularly and adopt this
habit of internal cleanliness. For sale by
• all druggists.
