Sweet Home’s Wants Help those Sick Kidneys If a “Want” book was kept for our city, the following items would certainly be found therein: Railroad connection with the out side world. A more efficient water service which would afford some measure of fire protection. Wider and more uniform side walks. Eletric light system and street lights. A bank. Paint on many of our buildings. A number of new streets. Harmonious thought in all mat ters pertaining to city improve ments. Less knocking. Many new settlers who will build homes. Manufacturing enterprises to use up our wealth of raw material. Our immense water power .de veloped etc. How many times have you had your work, sleep, or your leisure hours interrupted by recurring pains in the region of the kidneys? Did you ever experience anyhting more unpleasant and annoying? You probably neglected it too—let yourself believe it wasn’t seri ous—be over it in a day or two. When the kidneys give you warning of inability to: perform their duty, assist them in every way, hely them get rid of poisons that are accumulating, waste matter they cannot throw off. They are weak and need strengthening. See that they are built up, back to normal, and it won’t be many days until you are built up, eager for work and enjoying your rest and leisure hours All You Need is to Take Nyai’s Stone Root Compound There’s a wealth of wisdom in that assertion* this preparation is one of the most prompt and effective preparations we have and we are confident that it will do as represented.

When you are perspiring furiously in the dog days it may or may not con sole you to think that an ordinary field of wheat is giving off moisture quite as furiously. Between the months of April and July, according to Sir James Dewar, a field of wheat per spires sufficient moisture to cover the surface of its ground to a depth of nine inches. Another Interesting fact is that It requires three and a half pounds of water to produce sixteen grains of wheat. Speaking of the solar radiation in tropical places. Sir James says that in six hours about four-tenths of a square mile receives heat equivalent to the combustion of 1,000 tons of coal, while an area of 1,300 square miles receives in one year heat equivalent to 1.000,000,000 tons of coal—the whole estimated coal output of Europe and America.—Philadelphia Ledger. --------------------- s- The Drummer’s Tender Heart. The commercial traveler had just fin ished a story of a disastrous fire, in which his firm suffered severely. “And what did you do when you heard of it on your journey?” inquired his friend. “Oh, I sent the boss a long telegram of sympathy! He likes that kind of thing. Cost me half a crown.” “Half a crown!” exclaimed the other incredulously. “Oh, I charged it to my expenses, of Inseet Enemies To The Codling Moth course!” explained the traveler. Kindly feeling and thoughtful econ omy could go no further.—Manchester 0. A. C. Corvallis Ore.—The Guardian. codling moth and its brood of larvae that cause wormy apples are to be attacked with a new and interesting weapon, the Calliephialtes messor gray. This new enemy of the moth is only a small insect, but it is fully as formidable as its name, if it accomplishes all that is expect ed of it. Just what the insect is and what it does to destroy codling worms are described by Professor H. F. Wilson, head of the Entomologi cal department of the Oregon Ag ricultural College, who will direct experimental work with the bene ficial insect. “The methods of this parasite are not intended to be warlike. Its fatal damage to moth larvae is inflicted in its peaceful pursuit of a home in which to rear its young. In seeking for a place to deposit its eggs, the female of this species dis covers the cocoon of . the codling worm. She settles down upon it, penetrates the shell with her ovipos itor, inserting it deeply into the body of the larvae or pupa, and there lays the egg. “Almost as soon as it is hatched from the egg the young parasite begins to feed upon the tissues of its living home. And it never ceases to eat until it has grown strong and is able to make its living in the outside world. By this time the moth larva has been burrowed into a lifeless shell. The parasite then emerges to rear another gener ation of its kind, and, if a female, to inflict death upon large numbers of moth larvae. “A supply of specimens of this insect has been secured by the department of entomology and an attempt will be made to rear colo nies large enough to carry on suc cessful warfare against the codling moth. If this attempt is successful, colonies of the parasite will be liber ated in orchards in various parts of Oregon.” ... Plausible Excuse. Guest—Waiter, are you sure this is oxtail soup? Waiter—Yessuh. Gtiest— But I've found a tooth in it How do you account for that? Waiter— Well. I don’t know, sub; but I reckon dat ox must have been biting his taiL— Sphinx. In a Bad Way. “My friends,” declaimed an orator during a convention—“my friends, I say to you that this great republic of ours is standing on the brink of an ab scess!"-Philadelphia Saturday Even ing Post. Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the used key is al ways bright—Benjamin Franklin. Thirty years ago a fellow would have been considered sort of cracked in the upper story who would have predicted that a man would some day Mayor Gaynor of New York Read travel 100 miles in a flying machine. Yet one day recently a Frenchman, Moulinais, made an uninterrupted Mayor Gaynor, of New' York, flight from Paris to London of 287 died last week while enroute to miles in 185 minutes, an average Of Europe for a vacatiorial rest. It ninety-four miles an hour. A pedigree is a desirable thing in connection with a dairy cow and par ticularly if it Is desired to sell her off spring at fancy prices, but of even more value from the practical stand point is her performance. There are a good many cows that have pedigrees that, so far as being able to deliver the goods is concerned, are essentially scrubs and whose pedigrees are not worth the paper they are written bn. Roquefort cheese, one of the most popular products of its kind to be found on the world’s markets, is made from the milk Of hundreds ,of thou sands of sheep in the province of Roquefort. France. The lambs are al lowed to suck their mothers for some two months, at the end of which time they are weaned, and thereafter the sheep are milked and the milk made into this appetizing cheese, for which there is a great demand and which sells at a fancy price. Hen manure makes an excellent fer tilizer for roses, currants and goose berries. But it is well to remember that it is very concentrated and should be used sparingly. It should be scat tered in the early spring and spaded into the surface soil. Physician and Surgeon will be remembered that an attempt was made to assasinate the mayor some months ago. It is thought the wound then inflicted, contributed to the cause of his death* Mayor Gaynor’s death somewhat complicates the political situation in New York City. He had accepted the nomination as independent candidate to succeed himself.

Bowser was a business visitor in Lebanon, on Monday. DR. 1. B. WILSON Thé morning after the last New Haven wreck the press was lurid with demands for steel cars. Steel cars are necessary, because they render accidents somewhat less fatal. But the hue apd cry for steel cars may be very harmful, for all that, if it fills the public and the legislative mind with the foolish notion that such equipment will prevent railway slaughter. Indeed, in some future wreck these steel cars, which are conductors of elec tricity, may result, in connection with a third rail or an overhead wire, in a tragedy of wholesale electrocution not pleasant to think about. But that is another story. The only thing which will prevent that is good railroading. Wrecks happen on almost all railways; but wrecks on the shocking American scale of frequency and loss of life are caused by only one thing. That thing is railway incompetency. It may be incompetency in training and managing men. It may be in competence in allowing greed for dividends to forestall needed im provements in track and equipment. It may be financial incompetence. But it is incompetence. These wrecks prove by ghastly and over whelming evidence that the rail way management of. the United States have not had the brains and the integrity to develop their roads with the growth of the nation on safe lines. Railways in other lands have no such horrible array of deaths and wounds. Whatever may be said of the superiority of the American railway in some regards, so long as this thing continues it is a failure, and the system of private ownership stands hopelessly con demned.—Colliers.
