READ A HALF HOUR A DA'!
How a Housewif* vv ri Iruelligencs
Kept Hersaif From Drifting into
a Du!!, Old Woman.
A woman who has brough: up a big
family on a small income, yet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
It is due to a Half-Hour club
This club has as its fixed rule that
half an hour each day must be spent
In solid reading. There was a leeway
of 24 hours, after that there was a
fine of five cents each lay for fail
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice a month the club meets for
discussion of the reading done and to
collect fines of delinquents and 3pur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told of this club
■ays: “No one knows what it has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman In a family of boys, have a
bushel basket of stockings to daru
weekly, six children to sew for, les
sons to be heard, it is a big tempta
tion to stop reading entirely or to
fritter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour a day of solid reading has
kept me up with the tim*>s, has r-sted
my body and stimulated mv brain,
and, best of all. It, has kept me from
drifting into a dull old woman, of
whom my sons might love, bur. would
pity for her Ignorance.
Especially if you live in a small
town la such a club of importance. It
is easy to stagnate, unless a conscious
efTort is made. The winter season is
the time to start such a club amonj
yours neighbors. Do not be content
with planning a half-hour reading
dally for yourself. You will never hold
to It without the stimulus of com
panionship and the broadening Inter'
est of the fortnightly meetings.
WHEN PINS WERE VALUABLE
In Years Gone By, the Humble House
hold Utensil Was Given Much
Consideration.
The custom of making presents o(
New Yea’s day Is now practically oh
solete among English speaking peo
ple, the day of gift giving now being
Christmas. When pins were first In
vented and brought Into use about
the beginning of the sixteenth cen
tury they were a New Year’s ~lft very
acceptable to ladles, and money given
for the purchase of them was called
"pin money.” This expression has
since been extended to money settled
by a husband on his marriage for the
private expenses of his wife Pin*
made of metal. In their present form
were In use some time before the yeai
1543. It was during the reign ol
Henry VII. that “an acte for the tru«
making of pynnes” was made In
which it was enacted that the pries
should not exceed 5 ahtlltngs d penes
a thousand. Pins had previously
been made of box wood, bone and sil
ver for the richer classes. Thos*
used by the common folks were mads
of common wood and were, In fact
skewers.
Bacilli for Consumption.
An alleged new bacilli treatment
for consumption, an alleged discovery
of a Dr. Friedmann, which has been
widely exploited by a newspaper syn
dicate, is discredited by the Joornal
of the American Medical association
In order to secure curative effect*
It Is asserted that these living bacilli
derived from some kind of a turtle
must be Injected deep into the mus
cles of the patient. The preparation
of the remedy Is secret "The use of
the fluid," says the Journal, 'Is prob
ably not without danger. There is
not sufficient warrant for any othe*
attitude toward Friedmann’s treat
ment of tuberculosis than one of crit
ical neutrality and Judicious skepti
cism.”
Newest Pest.
ffit.. nnat In thfi Vftflt Slid
middle west is the dog. Not the prai
rie dog. just the common dog. He is
responsible for the decline in the
sheep raising industry. In many
states in the section of the country
once largely devoted to cattle and
sheep raising, there are more dogs
than there age sheep. It takes three
barb wires on top of two feet of woven
wire to make a fence that will
keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas
had 175,000 sheep and 199,000 dogs
in 1910, according to the secretary of
the Kansas board of agriculture.
The usual answer farmers In the
west give to the question, "Why don’t
you keep sheep?” is “We can’t keep
dogs from killing them.”
Fata Morgana.
The celebrated Fata Morgana, a
presentation of natural “moving plo
tures” on an Immense scale, which Is
occasionally seen in the Straits of
Messina, Is explained by a scientific
writer as being a mirage, such as fre
quently occurs ih various parts of the
world. “In fact,” he Bays, “one may
see a mirage any day by looking
through the stratum of air overlying
a hot stove, .or adjacent to the side of
a wall heated In the sunshine.” Young
scientists will be Interested In verify
ing this statement.
New England’s Advantage.
Here is how the spirits of the wise
sit In the clouds and mock us. "Even
at the risk of arousing western preju
dice, I maintain that New England
and all broken, hilly, rocky countries
have a decided advantage over re
gions of great fertility, in that human
stupidity and mole-eyed greed can
never wholly divest them of forests
that their sterile crags and steep ao
clivities must mainly be left to wood

Wearing of the Hood.
In England the hood was not flnal
| ly given up until the early part o'
i fifteenth century. The “great velvet
hat furred” worn by the mayor of Lon
don. John Welles, In 1432, Is cited at
a singularity by 3tow, who states that ,
previously “the coverture af men’s
was hoods, for neither eap or
hat Is spoken of." la point of fact
there are a few earlier Instance# of
hats being worn by uohlss and even ;

FAMILY AVOIDS
SERIOUS SICKNESS!
|
By Being Constantly Supplied With j
Thedford’s Black-Draught,
McDuff, Va.—“I suffered for several
years,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, of
this place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which 1 did,
and 1 found it to be the best family medi
cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a
iittle bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu- i
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re- ;
iieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea, j
headache, sick stomach, and similar ,
symptoms.
j It has been in constant use for more i
; [han 70 years, and has benefited more
j than a million people.

Before a statement can be ac

may be true, but we cannot

by a Newport man:
W. I. Hall, farmer, R. F. D. No.
2, Box 97, Newport, Ark., says:
“I have never lost an opportuni
ty during the past six years to
praise Doan’s Kidney Pills for
wha£ they Have done fof me, aa
well &3 others of my family,
They have made such complete
cures of kidney trouble that It
has not been necessary for us
to take them or any other kid
ney medicine since.
“One of the family took Doan’s
Kidney Pills for trouble with
the kidney secretions, together
with a weak and painful back,
They cured her and later I used
them for a similar complaint,
Their action in my case was just
as satisfactory and I was quickly
cured. Doan’s Kidney Pills were
procured at Dutton’s Drug Store
(Now Walker’s Pharmacy) and
have always been so beneficia
that I willingly confirm our for
mer endorsement."
