Grigss, Secretary and Treasurer Westbrooks Elevator Co. and formerly Cashier Bank of Danville, oaya: "About ten year my eyesicrht bezan ta fail to such an extent that it became necessary for me to eensalt a specialist. My trouble in creased until I fcxtnd It oecestary to consult sev eral others. Urease wasdiajmosed as Atrophy of the Optic Nerve, caused by impoverished blood supply. The twocieu of my trouble was slow but steady, wiia sever any relief, until finally my physician advised tne that nothinir further could be done. About this time, about two years ago. I could not see to read, and my ranee of vision was so short that I could not see anything at a greater distsneo than fifty or sevunty-five feet- I often found it difficult to recognize ac quaintances when I met them, distinguishing them more ttv their voices than their features. In May, 1303. a friend advised me that 'if tho physician's diagnosis was correct. MILAM will cure you, because it wilt purify and enrich tho blood, increase the flow, and build up the sys tem; but it win taken longtime and the im provement will be slow." "1 did not belwre no -word of this, and con sented to take MILAM because I did not think it could hurt too. and there might be a bare possi bility that it might belp me. After six weeks use I began to notice a slight improvement in my sight, whir has been slow but steady and with no setback- Now I can read newspapers with ordinary classes, can distinguish large ob jects two miles away, and have no difficulty now, as far as tar sight concerned, in attend ing to my duties as tho executive officer of a corporation.

C Not to be out done by the British postal authori ties In tho carrying of mails through the air, the. latest method of letter transportation. Postmaster Genera! Hitchcock gave his consent to the establishment of an experimental aero plane mail route between one of the outlying branches of the Brooklyn, N. Y., postofflce and the aerodrome at Nassau boulevard, Long Island, dur ing the international aviation meet held there. Aviators and their employes who were stationed on the field through out the meet were able thereby to re ceive their mail almost as quickly as though they were in one of the large cities. A special postal station was established at the aaviation field and a temporary postmaster appointed by the department to conduct the busi ness of receiving and dispatching mails and selling postage stamps. Dur ing the time of the meet officials of the postofflce department will watch with close interest the experiments Peace Reigning Among Chinese Tongs ACCORDING to Washington officials, for eight months not a shot has been fired and not a knife flashed by a member of any of the Chinese so cieties, or tongs, in the United States. There is a truce among these feudists who have for years spread terror among the Chinese districts of the larg-3 cities. Since the week of the Chinese peace banquet in New York, where Chiao Chung-tan, first secretary of the Chinese legation in Washing ton, expounded his peace doctrine there has been no tong war. Mr. Chiao, before coming to this country, was a schoolmaster in an ob scure district in China. He has been with the legation a little more than a year. He speaks no English when he can avoid it. He has been studying the language, but has made little prog ress. Although an aristocrat by birth and education, he is distinctly a man of the people, and his hold on all classes is little short of wonderful. Mr. Chiao attended the peace ban quet in New York as the special emis sary of the emperor. At that time the agitation in favor of cutting off the queue was at Its height in China. Mr. Chiao favored the adoption of western dress and mode of living, particularly in this country, believing that it would Uncle Sam Has Glut of Gold on Hand SUPPOSING you had a billion dollars in fold in a vault. Well, if you did you would be as rich as your Uncle Samuel, and you would feel satisfied if your wife paid more than $1.98 for a new "lid" and bought more than one each season. And you probably would feel just as secure as Sam. for he feels that he is not going to "go broke" for at least twenty years. Your governmental uncle has a bil lion dollars in gold stored away, and he is buying gold at the rate of about $120,000,000 a year, on the average, so that, at the end of twenty years for which he feels assured of having all the coin he needs, he should have at least $3,400,000,000 in gold on hand, subject to your call. He feels com placent over the outlook. George Roberts says the govern ment has a thousand million gold ew Ships Veritable Floating Forts THE sister dreadnaughts. Florifla and Utah, the mightiest warships in the American navy, will soon be In fighting trim, according to the calcu lations of the naval experts. The Utah, just placed in commission, will shortly enter the docks of the New York navy yard to receive her finish ing touches. This work involves the installation of conning towers and the sights of her guns. As much secrecy surrounds these devices, they are in variably constructed at a government yard instead of in a plant of a private builder. The Florida is already in commission and will be ready for ac tive service simultaneously with the Utah. These two -oatinp fortresses will be attached to thj first division of the At lantic fleet, thcX Florida becoming the regular flagshipof the division and the Utah occupying that signal rela tion whenever hf sister goes to dock for overhauling.

This is not the first instance in which United States malls have been officially authorized to be carried by aeroplanes. In November of last year PostmaBter General Hitchcock formal ly approved arrangements for the car rying of a pouch of mall from the trans-Atlantic steamer Kalserin Au guste Victoria, outbound to Europe, back to New York city while the ves sel was off the Long Island coast. Aviator J. A. D. McCurdy was to have attempted this first official aerial transmission of mails, but because of stormy weather the attempt was not made. The first successful areoplane letter route was that opened recently by the British postal administration, which began a series of experiments in the carrying of malls by aeroplane from Hendon, England, to Windsor Castle, a distance of almost twenty miles. Four aviators with two bi planes and two monoplanes were en gaged in the work and about one hundred thousand letters constituted the first delivery. These experiments have been watched with considerable interest by the United States postof flce authorities, who are of the opin ion that the day when letters will be forwarded from city to city by airships is not far distant. weaken the hold of secret societies on the Celestian mind. In his address Mr. Chiao urged his views on the banqueters, and at the conclusion of his remarks one of the leaders came forward with a pair of shears and requested him to cut off the "pig-tail." Mr. Chiao complied, and before the evening was over, he had amputated about 50 of the queues, each man carrying his switch away with him. The tong wars in this country, more than anything else, have been respon sible for the hostile legislation in this country. From the legation in Wash ington, men have been sent to the va rious tong headquarters, while special representatives of the Chinese govern ment have been sent out for confer ences with tong leaders. But they ef fected little. Then the Chinese gov ernment assigned the former school master to the task of peacemaker, coins in its vaults, and George Rob erts knows because he saw 'em count ed. He says its enough to last us for a generation and he and Uncle Sam are not going to make any more gold coins until the twenty years are up and the pretty new gold coins are so badly used up that it will be time to call them in and send them to the melting pot. That's the reason, also, why the mints of the country were closed in some instances and in others restrict ed to the making of pennies and the smaller coins. The new policy of the government issuing certificates against the bullion in the mint instead of making the money out of the gold has saved the government $100,000. according to Director of the Mint Rob erts, and one of the reasons for this is that the people prefer the paper money for actual use and for circu lation. "We have enough gold coins now for a generation to come," said Direc tor Roberts. "When there is any con siderable demand on the treasury it is always for foreign exports, and the bullion is always preferred to the coin for this purpose." wrest from the Delaware and North Dakota the honor of being the most powerful war vessels afloat. The displacement of the two new dreadnaughts is 21,825 tons each. Ten 12-inch guns distributed in five tur rets and 16 five-inch rifles constitute the main batteries. The hulls are belted with armor ranging from 9 to 11 inches in thickness, while steel walls, a full foot through, protect the turrets. The ships are 521 feet long and are equipped with turbine engines, generating 28,000 horsepower, which it is expected will drive them at a speed greater than the 20.75 knots re quired by the navy department's speci fications. Each of these castles of the sea will be manned by a crew cf 60 ofucers and 888 mexu Annual Report of Prof. Graham of On tario Agricultural College Gives Interesting Figures. The following is a part of the last annual report of Prof. Graham of the Oi.tario agricultural college: "There is an Increasing demand fotj well-fatted chickens; In fact, the de mand exceed3 the Bupply and dealers find themselves forced to fatten the thin live chickens offered in the mar kets In order to get the supply of fat ted chickens required by the trade. Dealers inform me they can pay high rentals for buildings and have sour milk or buttermilk shipped in by ex press, and yet have a nice margin of profit. Surely our growers could do this cheaper. "During the past year t.Is depart ment has had over 60 different indi viduals fatten chickens, and nearly ev eryone has been successful. The av erage bird gained about one pound in two weeks' feeding. Each bird on the average consumed four pounds of grain and six pounds of milk, for the pound of gain made. Poor gains were made from Leghorns, Hamburgs and such cockerels. These birds made fair broiler3, but unsatisfactorily roasters. Tto ration used conslstc 1 of one-third each of finely-ground oats, buckwheat and corn. This was mixed to the con sistency of pancake batter with sour milk or buttermilk. The birds are fed lightly during the first few days or un til their appetites become keen, after which the ration Is gradually Increas ed to all they will eat But two feeds a day are given, and as near equal parts as possible. The chickens will readily eat by" lamplight. If there Is a sscret to the process at all, it is in tcver overfeeding, but giving all they will consume." BRONZE TURKEY IS POPULAR French Women Make Italian Variety Sit to Order Bourbon Red Is Also Great Favorite. In England the Cambridge Bronze turkey has been more or less popu lar, but is being displaced by the American Bronze. The Black Norfolk Bronze Turkey. - is a favorite in some sections of Great Britain. In France the so-called Ital ian variety is commonly kept. These birds are much used as hatchers and brooders of common chickens. The peasant poultry women of France un derstand how to make the turkey hens sit to order and often keep them incubating eggs for months at a time. According to the best authority known, the Bourbon Red variety was developed from the native turkeys of Bourbon county, Ky., and have been bred up from what in early days was named the "Wild Yellow Turkey." The standard weights are adult cock 30 pounds, hen 18 pounds, cockerel 22 pounds, pullet 14 pounds. This va riety is a great favorite in some lo calities. DOfflMMHE Lawn clippings and green waste from the garden make good chicken feed. Give the fowls a variety of feed. Beef scraps are good for young chicks. Sweet oil will remove N tar from feathers. Always crush egg shells before feed ing them to hens. Neglected poultry will soon develop into unprofitable poultry. Salt is just as essential to pigeons and fowls as it is to man. Eggs are spot cash at all times; so is the well-fed fowl or chickens. Charcoal and grit are two of the necessities around a poultry yard. If you want to make the chicks work, dig up a spot, rake in some mil let seed and let them scratch for it. If you were unsuccessful at this season's shows, now is the time to pre pare for the next No one can succeed with chickens kept in a hot, dark and filthy coop. The larger the hen, the bigger the feed bill, and, as a rule, the smaller the egg money. Young hens that are now bright and active, that have always been well, that have laid right along and that have good ancestry back of them, are the ones to choose for producing stock.
