HOW TO RAIBE PLUMP BQUABS
CHEAP.
Qerman specialists■ declare squab
flesh Its own digester, thus you need
not linger long on the edge of a squab
potple fearing gastritis, enteritis or
appendicitis, but may gormandize and
then thus apostrophize—
O peptonolds, Jamaica ginger,
Stomach bitters, bismuth, too,

But do not fMI the need of youl
| Are squabs too high for potple?
Well, read our squablet sermonette.
It's hot off the griddle from a back
lot sqaabbery where the finest are
raised easy and cheap.
The loft Is an npper room (20 by 13)
of s stable; the fly, hung In the air out
slde, is seven feet long, three feet wide
and three and a half feet high.
The entrance is In center of twenty
foot partition, the nests ranged on
each side of door.
There are two sash doors, three feet
square, ono In end, the other opening
into fly, and both low down.
Thus no draft strikes the nests,
though theso glass doors are open ex
cept in severest weather.
Fifty pairs bf working homers are
kept, not for fancy, but, oh, you plump
squabs 1
Nearly every nest contained eggs or
aqnaba. The birds were breeding

fast that some nests contained four
squaba, latest addition sad the pre
ceding pair being fed st the same
time. The average pair has fourteen
squabs a year, and of the dosen dress
ed for dinner none were under s
pound.
In this sqaabbery there are no fads,
no feed wasting hoppers, but the meth
ods are so simple s boy may succeed.
Every day the room is cleaned.
Tbe year round the bath la placed in
fly outside. Whltewaah la applied fre
quently to keep down vermin; the
nests are cleaned, limed and new to
bacco sterna supplied as soon aa squabs
get active.

and tbs following feed mixture, pre
pared at the local Bill, la used:
Thirty pounds cracked corn, tweaty-ftve
pounds red wheat, tan pounds Kaffir eors,
m pounds Canada peas.
The birds are fed morning sad after
,aoon, enough being always on the
Boor for breeders and for feeding
•qnabs. Note aample squabs. This
small plant doea wonders, and ben Is
the explanation: Good working bom

But, alas, your only trousers

ORIGIN OF GERRYMANDER.
It is 100 Yean Old-Originated in
Massachusetts.
Baltimore Sun.
Hon. Joseph Walker, Speaker of
the House of Representative of
the Massachusetts Legislature,
has declared himself against a
gerrymander of the State when
the time comes to make a new ap
pointment under the last census.
In making this announcement he
calls attention to the fact that
this is the centennial year and
Massachusetts the birthplace of
the method of apportionment
which has come into use all over
the country, and which is known
everywhere by the name gerry
mander. And that brings up tbe
story of how the name gerryman
der came to be attached to- this
particular bit of political unfair
ness. A hundred years ago El
bridge Gerry was Governor of
Massachusetts and was instru
mental in having formed a con
gressional district consisting of
Salisbury, Amesbury, Haverhill,
Methuen, And over,, Middleton,
Lynnfield, Danvers, Lynn, Salem,
Marblehead and Chelsea. The
creation of such a district was so
obviously for partisan advantage
that it called forth a storm of
criticism. Gilbert Stuart, the ar
tist, while looking, at the district
as outlined on the map, was re
minded of a salamander, and with
a few strokes of his pen empha
sized the likeness. An editor of
the day to whom the drawing was
shown remarked that it looked
"more like a gerrymander," and
so the name passed into the po
litical history of the country as
designating an unfair apportion
ment.
The same nnfair plan of taking
advantage of the party majority
in the Legislature to make as
many safe congressional districts
as possible that animated Gover
nor Gerry and his fellows in Mass
achusetts a -hundred years ago
has made the gerrymander part
of the tactics of every political
party that has had the power in
all the several States of the Union.
It has always been a bad bit of
political tactics and has often
been so shamefully used as to
cauaD the downfall pf the j»arty
practictngTtT ~JNow that a leading
figure in the Legislature of tee
State which invented it has de
nounced it and declared himself
against it in its centennial year,
it is hoped that his influence will
prove sufficient to cause its aban
donment there, and that other
States will follow the lead of Mass
achusetts and banish it from the
politics of the country forever.

Skyscrapers in New York—B4o.
New York, Feb. S.—A census
of tbe "skyscrapers" in New York
has been made. It shows that
the buildings of ten or more
stories, for whicli plans have been
filed since 1890, nnmber 840. This
count applies to the "city proper"
—Manhattan and the Bronx —and
does not inolade Brooklyn.
There is one -story building,
one of 41-stories, one of 39, one
of 88, one of 36, one of 33, one of
32, one of 31, and one of 30-storiee.
Altogether there are 39 bnlldings
of 20 stories or more.
Steel, of coarse, is the basic
material in most of the tall buil
dings. Ten or 15 years ago it was
•left unprotected, but in recent
i years the steel "frames of the lar
ger buildings have been protected
i against fire and corrosion by hol
low terracotta blocks. Archi
tects say that the latest "sky
scrapers" are the safest structures
ever put up. *
The favorite number of stories
among architects, seems to be 12.
This is because the height of a
building in which the law allows
wooden "trim" is limited to 12
' stories. According to records of
the building department, New
1 York jas 371 12-story buildings,
as compared with 109 of 11 stories
and 15 of 13 stories. It is said
' that superstition is partly respon
sible for the small number of 13-
story structures. And many of
the "skyscraper" managers skip
"No. 13" in numbering the floors,
so that what is really the thir
teenth floor is often called No. 14.

I had severe backache and felt all

bottles of Foley kidney pills my
backache is gone and where I used
to lie awake with rheumatic paii s
I now sleep in comfort. Foley Pills
