I then had in attendance Dr. , who gave medicine for about a year, which did me no good. He then told me to take Cardul. He said he thought it would benefit me more than anything I could take. “I would get so bad off I couldn't do my work at all, and I was confined to my bed part of the time, and suffered most of the time; sometimes awful . .I then began to take Cardul and I soon began to see tliat It bene fited me.

I certainly am getting my former health back and I have a good color and feel better than since I got sick. I now weigh 113% lbs.” If you suffer from any of the ail ments so common to women, try Cardul, the woman's tonic.—Adv. She Had the Ham. A certain lawyer who was a candi date for a municipal office went out canvassing one day and knocked at a cottage door. The door was opened by a woman. “Is-your, husband In, Mrs - ?” ^ulred the lawyer. “No sir,” was the reply, “but I know what you want. My husband is sure to vote for you because you got him off for stealing that ham last week.” “No, no; alleged stealing of the ham," corrected the lawyer. “Alleged be blowed!” was the w an’s reply. “We’ve got a bit of it left still. Lemme give you a sandwich cut uf it, sir!” From Out the Skies. Joe Flaherty, the tallest prisoner ever to some into, the linnds of the local authorities, was arrested by Po liceman Tom Edmunds, the shortest man on the force, after Flaherty Is alleged to have accosted a number of woman pedestrians with whom he came in contact while pursuing an al coholic course along Park avenue.

FIERY RED PIMPLES HUNGARY IS NOW BANKRUPT Magyar Political Economist' Says In. terest on Debt Almost Equals National Production. . Dr. Ede Palyi, In a recent article in the Az Est of Budapest, entitled ‘Hopeless,” makes so:ue startling reve lations in regard to the state finances of Hungary, according to the New York Times. Doctor Pulyl is not only ■ a prominent Magyar political econo mist, but he Is an ardent supporter of close economic relations with Germany. He leads up to the statement that Hungary is insolvent by pointing out that, while the productions of Hungary •ealized in the year before the war •$050,000,000, the war had cost the state up to March 1, $5,000,000,000, and that an equal amount would be neces sary to liquidate national expenses at the close of the war—if the end came soon. Hence, while the whole nu- lional productloh has never exceeded •$950,000,000. This Is, he says, why the' Magyars refused to entertain the last war loan, the true figures of which have never been published. He pre dicts “a revealed catastrophe” with the floating of the new war loan. “If the wage-earners,” he declares, “were to pay 50 per cent Income tax and the fanners 50 per cent of their produce in taxes, and the industrial products were requisitioned entirely, even then the need.s of th^ state would not be covered. And If the state were to seize the entire agricultural prod ucts of the country after the war from the prodTicer, $18,000,000 would still be wanting to cov^r the interest the state has to pay the war loans.” WOMEN! IT IS MAGIC! LIFT OUT ANY CORN Apply a few drops then lift corns or calluses off with fingers—no pain. Just think! You can lift off any corn or callus without pain or soreness. A Cincinnati man discov ered this ether compound and named 'It freezone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bot tle of freezone, like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops di rectly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone Is wonderful. It dries instantly. It doesn’t eat away the corn or cal lus, but shrivels It up with out even Irritating the sur rounding skin. Hard, soft or corns be tween the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain be- hasn’t freezone, tell him to order a small bottle for you from his whole sale drug house.—adv.

And she returned it.” SIMPLICITY IN NEW HOUSES Great Progress Made in Architecture in Recent Years With Tendency Toward Homelike Structures. The present decade of the twentieth century Is a fortunate period in house building. Lucky are the people who build, and lucky are the architects. Compared with the 1880 period, or the 1890, or even the 1900, the present dis ciples of the T-.square are indeed for tunate, says an authority on home architecture. Many people who built 15 years ago would give a great deal If they could tear down and begin all over again, and doubtless tiiere are architects who wish that their twenty-year-old dwell- were like card houses—easy to de molish and rebuild. Great strides have been made in this country within the past decade in everything pertaining to house-making. Surely the number of beautiful houses of moderate cost springing up all over the country would turn the rankest pessimist into an optimist, so far as architectural prosperity is con cerned. Whether of rough cast, half- timbered, clapboards, shingles or solid concrete, these homes express certain definite principles as truly as if built of one material. Whether located East or West thej have certain points in common. Simplicity Is a threadbare word, yet no other has been invented to take its place and, in our own lan guage at least. It has no synonym. Sin cerity also may be applied to these houses. Other terms come to mind, such ns “livable,” “homelike” and “ap propriate.” ' No house Is successful unless It Is adapted to the needs of the owner; no house! Is successful unless the architect has used the material best fitted to its design. It seems to us that on these two points the present-day architect is superior to his predecessors. DOES AWAY WITH SIGNBOARDS Illinois Highway Commission Ordi Removal of Unsightly Advertising Along State-Aid Roads. LEAF CURL IS MOST DESTRUCTIVE DISEASE AFFECTI^G THE PEACH TREE Effects Of Attack May Last Over Several Years and Renders More ■Subject to Attacks of Othsr Diseases and to Win- terkiliing—Cause and Control. (By LEONARD R. HARTILL, Instructor In Fruit Growing, New York State School of Agriculture on Long Island, Farmlngdale, N. Y.) Poach leaf curl Is more or less com mon in nearly all the peach growing regions of the world. In many regions It Is probably the most destructive dis ease affecting the peach. Heavy losses occasioned by the disease on the Atlan tic seaboard are infrequent, yet occa sionally the damage is severe. The losses from leaf curl cannot be read ily estimated, for the Injury to the fruit is usually indirect, through the loss of leaves and the generally im paired vitality of the trees. The ef fects of an attack may last over sev eral years, and undoubtedly renders the tree more subject to the attacks of other diseases and to winterkilling. The effects on the tree seem to depend not only on the severity of the at tack, but also on the vigor of the tree, its location and the character of the succeeding winter. Description. Usually the disease is seen only on the leaves and young branches, but the flowers and young fruit are like wise subject to attack. In the latter case the disease often escapes atten tion since deformations are but slight and the parts affected very promptly drop from the tree. The disease when on the leaves may be detected as soon as the leaf buds have become slightly unfolded. The coloring of the young leaves Is heightened and, as they unfold, a curling and arching of the blades be comes prominent. As the disease pro gresses the abnormally thickened, dis torted leaves, from which the disease takes Its name, are Its chief character istics and cannot well be mistaken. The stimulation induced by fungus within the cells of the leaves, causes the cells to develop thickened walls and In crease In size and numbers. The tis sues of the mid rib do not increase to any extent, with the result that the abnormal growth of the tissues on either side of the midrib causes the leaves to become puckered and curled. Since the greatest growth takes place in the tissues toward the upper side, there is a tendency for the upper sur face of ha infected leaf to be convex. Infected foliage usually drops and so the disease may result In complete de foliation of the tree. If such is the case the tree sets little or no fruit. However, the tree usually leafs out again, and by midsummer little sign of the disease may be found. Cause. Peach-leaf curl is caused by a para sitic fungus known ns Exoascus De formans. The mycelium of the fun gus makes its way among the tissues and absorbs the juices needed for the nutrition of the tree. It is spread from tree to tree by means of spores. These form under the surface of in fected leaves, finally breaking through and Imparting to the surface a frosted appearance. The spores are given off and presumably are carried over the winter on the surfaces of twigs and bud scales. They produce new infections as soon as the leaf buds open in the spring. The fungus may also be car ried over the winter by the mycelium in twigs that have been Infected. Control. Spray in the spring just before the buds swell, using bordeaux mixture 5-5-50 (5 pounds lime, 5 pounds cop per sulphate dissolved In 50 gallons of water). It is e.ssential that the spray ing be thorough and that it be done be fore the buds show the least green. WRIGLEYS Father of the Man. Hatch—Is he very much lienpecked? Batch—He even has to mind the baby.—Judge. • In the belief that ungainly and un sightly signs of an advertising nature along public highways mar the beapty of the rbad itself and of the contlguou.s landscape, the Illinois highway com mission has directed that all such ad vertising signs be removed from along all state-aid roads. The order came in a letter directed from Chief State Highway Engineer TV. tv. Marr for the commission to all ad vertisers. Other communications sought the co-operation of county highway su- pciiuTenueucs iiiem lo township officials as well, to the end that the antisign campaign may be car ried to a beneficial conclusion. The state highway commission de sires first of all, of course, -to conserve the Interests of the state-aid roads. The placing of signs has become such a universal practice that It has come to amount to nothing less than a nui sance, in the opinion of the commis sion. Moreover, the commission be lieves such staring objects as the ma jority of signboards of today do not really advertise; that, in many in stances, they repel instead of attract the favor of t'ravelers. The order is expected to help bring Illinois’ chain of state-aid roads up to the top notch of taste and natural beauty.

Newly set plants should be protect ed for n day or two from the sun, and the protection should be continued till It is evident the plants are getting a hold on the soil and securing a supply of soil water. If this Is done, the new ly set plants will generally live and thrive afterward. The only time when protection is not needed is when the setting-out Is done just at the begin ning of a wet spell, which, of course, is a desirable time for transplanting. One nurseryman says that he trans plants at any time through the spring or summer, whenever he can be sure he Is to be favored by three or four days of rain or mist. However, every spring In a great many plants are lost by not having protection from the sun or by not having the protection con tinued till the plants can live without ft. Adjoining Towns Should Co-Operate. No growing town can afford to stop planning at its corporate limits, for just outside those limits streets are being laid out and buildings erected contrary to the city’s interest. A lit tle co-operative planning now would save the spending of vast sums of money later to correct the troubles. All the more is this true where two or more towns are close together. The mutual planning of the Inters-enlng area is of great Importance to each town. Where they touch each other it is sheer stupidity for them not to get together in planning the areas near their common boundaries. Large Holes for Street Trees. Dig large holes for street trees.

The New Jersey experiment station Is recommending to peach growers the trial of a substitute for self-boiled lime- suiphur which was tried out at the sta tion with considerable success last sea son. This new mixture is made up In the following proportions; 8 pajinds of sulphur (flowers or fine flour), 4 pounds of hydrated lime, and 1% ounces of ground glue, dissolved in three gallons of water. This Is di luted with water to 50 gallons. It Is believed that this mixture Is a prom ising spray for the control of scab and brown rot, since It gave excellent re sults In a season when weather con ditions were favorable for the develop ment of both diseases. This material seems to possess several advantages • self-boiled lime-sulphur. The process of mixing is less disagreeable than the preparation of self-boiled lime-sulphur and its strength when prepared Is likely to be more uniform. This spray Is recommended to peach growers for trial in the summer spray ing of peaches to control scab, brown rot and other fungous diseases. SUPPLYING MOISTURE TO HATCHING NESTS Newest Poultry Accessory De signed to Fill Need in Dry Cii- , mates—How It is Worked. (By C. S- ANDERSON, Colorado Agri cultural College, Fori Collins, Colo.) One of the newest of poultry raising accessories Is a moisture nest. This nest Is devised especially for use ii glons of low humidity where moisture in some form must be supplied in hatching eggs. For this reason it should be of interest to Western poultry and particularly to those hatching by the natural method. The nest consists of a galvanized tub-shaped receptacle about 18 Inches diameter and 12 Inches deep. This tub Is filled with water to a depth of three or four inches, and above the ater, resting on projections on the side of the tub is a circular concave piece of galvanized material. This piece covers the entire top of the tub, and in Its center are two silts, through which wicks are drawn and leading up from the water below. On top of this concave pan the nest ing material and setting eggs are placed. As the incubation period ad vances, the amount of moisture can be increased or decreased by raising or lowering the wicks. Best results seem to be obtained when a moderately con stant supply is furnished throughout the period. COST ACCOUNTING IS OF BIG IMPORTANCE Several Types of Farming Were Included In Study Made by Agricultural College. Complete records were kept on 13 New York state farms in lSl2 and on 31 farms in 1913, co-operatlon with owners being secured by the college of agriculture which furnished flie co-op erators with the results of the ac counting. The farms on which accounts were kept averaged slightly larger than the average New York farm; they were better farms and better managed than the average farm. Several types of farms were Included in the study so that figures were available on a num ber of different farm operations. The average cost of man labor for 1912 was a little over 15 cents an hour; for 1913 It was 17 cents an hour. Horse labor varied from 13 cents to 18 cents per hour, the lower figures being found on the farms doing the largest amount of business. Purebred cattle showed a higher cost of feed, for man labor, and for horse labor, but they returned more to the owners than did grade cattle. Bees Easy to Keep. Bees are easier to keep than chick ens. Why not keep more bees and turn Into real coin some of the honey crop that is lost? Spraying Is Profitable.

This Car Is Worthy of Your Confidence You can buy a Saxon car secure in the knowl edge that you are getting full value in tried and proven motor car mechanism. Saxon cars are built to win the confidence of their owner — and they do. But first they must win the confidence of their builders— and this they could not if they embodied any feature or any part of unproved worth. So no Saxon principle of construction has ever been changed until a better principle has fully proved its greater value. And so no Saxon car has ever embodied features of doubtful worth. Saxon cars have simply been in a state of transition, passing thru phase after phase of gradual improvement without a break in pro duction. They are refined from time to time, not radically changed. They are In the fullest sense of the phraee, products of evolution. They are developed rather than built. Isn’t that the kind of a car you want—one that you can feel confident is right before you put down your good money for it? If it is, then you want a Saxon.
