Cause of So Many Necks Being
Broke.
In a certain Virginia school for ne
groes the lyceum was debating the
question, "Resolved that capital pun
ishment should be abolished." Bill
Basey was arguing the affirmative.
After an impassioned plea this was
his clincher: "And lastly, Mr. Presi
dent, I hold dat capital punishment
should be abolished for dis reason,
namely, dat it have been de cause of
so many necks beine broke."

What Is
Coryza?
Coryza is a medical term. It means
chronic catarrh of the nose. It began
with catching cold, producing a slight
nasal catarrh. Then catching cold again.
Finally the catarrh is continuous. After
wards brown scabs form in the nose,
the breath is fetid, breathing through
the nose more or less obstructed. Then
the victim has corvza.
In taking Peruna for coryza a table
spoonful snould be held in the mouth,
and then allowed to slowly trickle down
the throat, occasionally breathing out
through the nose, so that the fumes of
Peruna will permeate all through the
throat and posterior nares. Peruna has
cured a multitude of this sort of cases.
Snuffing warm salt water, a teaspoon
ful to the pint, is sometimes necessary
to thoroughly clean out the nose, which
should be done twice a day, in the morn
ing and in the evening.
But it is the Peruna that should be
mainly relied upon for a permanent
cure. People with coryza are generally
poor sleepers, digestion is poor, appetite
is poor. Peruna will correct all these
difficulties.

VILLAGE. 2T
THE line of travel from the Bul
garian frontier to Tchatalja
runs the length and cuts the
very center of the Bulgarian
field of campaign. This Jour
ney we had the good fortune to be
permitted to make during the armis
tice. Now that fighting has been re
sumed, it Is again impossible. The
entire distance Is something like 275
miles. We completed it by train In
about five days, exclusive of voluntary
stopovers, but this unusual speed was
due only to the fact that we were able
to make good connections, writes Paul
S. Mowrer in the Chicago Daily News.
Despite its Interest as revealing the
setting of a great modern war, the
trip was hardly a pleasure excursion.
Most of It was not even picturesque.
Suppose that from the hills out
around Aurora, 111., every house and
barn and fence and road and tree, and
even every sign of cultivation, were
removed; suppose in addition that
the grass were afflicted with some
thing resembling the mange; that Is
how this country looks. It could be
a garden; It is nearer a desert The
villages low clusters pf stone huts
roofed with brown tile are far apart
and invariably distant from the rail
road. Many have been burned. To
see any human beings except groups
of ragged Bulgar troopers Is a rare
thing a thing worthy of comment
Bulgars Seen Everywhere.
The Bulgars, however, are every
where; for practically every able-bod-led
male of thnt nation has been or
dered Into Turkey in one capacity or
another. Their tentless camps, their
wagon transports, their worn and
grizzled persons are. almost the only
variation of the monotony. An armed
Bulgar peasant In homespun guards
the track at every 200 yards. You see
some standing before the huts they
have built of brush or before the
holes they have hollowed In a bank.
These common soldiers have not been
able to wash or shave properly, or to
take off their clothes, since the war
began. They sleep unsheltered on the
ground, without : even blankets to
cover them; and they live exclusively
on bread and cheese, except at a few
favored spots where there are soup
and an occasional stew. -
But if the military diet is scant, that
of the traveler Is even scantier. Two
great armies' have passed here. To
speak In an expressive Irish idiom,
there was nothing to begin with- the
Turkish army took all there was! and
the Bulgars took the rest.
The railroad Is a single track line,
adequate enough for such travel and
commerce as there used to be here,
but utterly inadequate for the supply
trains of an army of 600,000 men. For
this reason the way was everywhere
blocked by lines of cars. The few
Biaings were continually full to run
ning over. The wonder Is that the
Bulgars have been able to fn0i rhoi.

went forward we went one mile back;
ior every nour we were on the move
we were at a standstill five, and as
nobody ever knew Just where the
train was going, when It would start
or where It would stop, we never
dared stray more than a step from It
for fear of being left behind.
The train on which we set out from
Phillpopolls, In addition to carrying
supplies In the cars, carried soldiers

newly drafted. At every waterlnj
tank we stopped an hour or so no
body seemed to know Just why. Al
one village we waited so long the sol
diers all climbed down to get ths
cramps out of their legs and, after
wetting their throats at the boiled wa
ter barrel, began to sing, much to
the embarrassment of a group of vil
lage girls:
"How delicious Is my love
For the parson's pretty daughter,
And the parson's pretty daughter.
How delicious she!"
Not as naughty as many soldier
songs; but nevertheless the maidens
hastened away blushing. The youths
laughed. Night came on and the
train, with a steamy sigh, resumed its
course.
Foretold Fate of Turkey.
We now found ourselves squeezed
Into a dark corner of the car beside
an official who" was going down to
take charge of the Bulgar postofflca
at Salonika. He confided to us,
though with the skeptical air of a
man of the world, how certain signs
had foretold the fall of Turkey, even
before It was known the war was Im
minent For Instance, a tent which
had been erected for the sultan at a
military review in Constantinople,
was caught In the teeth of a wind
storm and flung fiat Just what had
lately happened to the whole Turkish
army! And again, the crown prince
of Turkey, Isuff Izzedin, while on a re
cent visit to Constanza, had made
misstep from the gangway and had
got a tumble Into the chill waters of
the Black sea Just as the empire It
self had since got a tumble into the
cold waters of defeat. To all of which
we nodded our heads, and nodded, md
nodded, and were falling fast asleep,
when, about 10 p. m. the train drew
up with a Jolt greater than usual,
and a gruff voice from the black of
the night informed us this was as far
as we went .
Out we dragged our baggage onto
the ground. r , ,
"Please, sir, where do we get the
train for Tchatalja T"
Thus we Inquired of every one we
saw except of those who Inquired of
us first Nobody knew. Nothing to
do but pile into the railroad station,
where the waiting room had been
turned Into a sort of cafe.
The place was crowded with hun
gry, thirsty soldiers. We sat at a ta
ble beside a man who did not care
to talk; he had Just got news his
brother had been killed. Opposite us,
reminding one of a couple of pompous
bears In uniform, were two veterans
of the Turkish war of 1878, their
breasts bright with medals, their
beards bristling with valor and their
heads all but lost In huge fur hats,
whose long hair fell fiercely over their
eyeB. Being too old for the regular
army, both were volunteers; both had
been wounded and were returning.
One. whose name was Nicola, carried
a captured Turkish Mauser rifle, of
which he was very proud, and his
brass-mounted belt was stuck full of
Turkish cartridges.
"I have a son at Tchatalja," he ex
plained, swallowing with a friendly
growl a glass or hot. yellow liquid
miscalled tea. "I am going down to
tell him never to fall back."
However, it was not long before old
Nicola himself fell back In a atupld
doze, In that smoky, overcrowded
room.
GREEN FEED FOR CHICKENS
Moderate Amount Acts as Appetizer,
Keeps Digestion Good-and Whole '
Works Running Smooth.
(By PROP. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
Our women folks say we need let
tuce because It is good for our in
sides. They also seek to force upon
us dandelions, spinach, beet tops and
all manner of greens, using the same
weak-kneed reason.
Now what we want to know Is thief
If we admit that green foods are good
for us, which we do for the sake of
argument only, what's the reason?
Tbey contain about 99 per cent wa
ter, which comes too expensive in this
form, and the rent la mnnrlv 1nn
piain green color. There s a trace of
fiber and a trace of starch, a little
mineral food and that's all. Then
where Is the virtue? One cannot very
well say. but It's a nrnven fact that
a moderate amount of green food acts
as an appetizer, keeps the digestion
gooa and the whole works running
smoother.
So It Is with the hens., whnnn nnnn-
tite and tasteB come closer to that of
the human being than any other do
mestic beast, except the pig. She eats
grain, whole or rround. conked meat
or raw, vegetables of all kinds In all

we won't. The hen needs green feed
for all the reasons that we need it
and for several private ones of her
own. The moBt Important one of the
private reasons Is the color of the
yolk of her eggs.
We all know how pale the yolk of
most eggs are In winter. Perhaps you
have never figured out why this la,
but Just charged it to cold storage or
something like that The fact Is that
perfectly freBh eggB have much light
er yolks In winter than they do In
summer, and the reason Is lack of
green feed.
In summer the hen picks up leaves
and stems and all manner of succulent
green stuff. This green matter, or at
least the coloring part of It, Is chang
ed to orange or yellow In the hen's
body and the result is deep-tinted
yolks. So It is necessary to feed lay
ing hens green feed the year rOund,
both for her health and the color of
the eggs.
HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAMES
Camellas Were Named In Honor of
Mlslonary Kamel, Who Brought
Beautiful Flower to Country.
Fuchsias were so called because
they were discovered by Leonard
Fuchs,
Dahlias were named for Andre Dahl,
who brought them from Peru. ;
' The Camellia was named from a
missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
of the flower to France from Japan.
He called it the rose of Japan, but
his friends changed It In bis honor.
Magnolias were so- called because
Prof. Magnol de Montpelller first
brought this beautiful tree to France
from America and Asia.
Lavender received Its name be
cause the Romans put the delicate
Bowers into the water where they
washed, to perfume their hands,
lavare being the Latin word, to wash.
Keeping Cows Clean.
Every farmer should study how to
keep his cows as comfortable and
clean as possible. It is quite a prob

thought Bulletins have been Issued
by some of the state experiment sta

ment of Agriculture at Washington,
that farmers can avail themselves of
by writing to the proper -places.
Something should be used for bed
ding. Straw, leaves or sawdust can
be used. On most farms straw Is
available and when that can be had,
there is nothing better.
