tyrs Sunken With Pain
Three years ago I had neuralgia
which caused my eyes to become j
sunken and bloodshot with pain.
Hunt's Lighting Oil was recomend
ed and after using, the pain left
and has not returned, says A. TV1

figures of a four bays' Rainstorm
The Weather Bureau estimates
that in four days' rainitorm which ,
devastated certain towns and villa- ;
ges in the upper watershed of the
Ohio River, sufficient water fell !
to cover fifteen million acres of 1
land to a depth of one foot. This I
represents between five and six ;
thousand billion gallons of water.
In the presence of such eccentrici ;
ty of nature, the works of man. I
whether they be restraining reser
voirs or ai tificial banks or whatnot. -
become mere pygmies and utterly
futile for restraint. A four-day :
rainfall which will cover su^h a,
State as Ohio with a depth of seven
inches, is a phenomenon of nature i
which is beyond all possibilities of
control by any appliances that are ;
known in the present stage of en
gineering knowledge. All we can \
hope for is to mitigate disaster.
Absolutely to prevent it would prob
bly call for works of a magnitude
which is utterly beyond our present
ingenuity and resources. Scientific

DIAMONDS
By George Fitch, Copyrighted 1913
A Diamond is a chunk of highly
compressed prosperity and is used
principally to announce the same.
Diamonds are composed of pure
carbon. Next to being honest, a
diamond is the hardest thing in the
world. When it is found, it is rough
and unattractive, and it takes
months to grind it down into a
giaceful shape. When a diamond
is cut and mounted it sparkles like
best seller conversation. A large
Jiamord. worn in the shirt front u
a beautfful ornament, and usually
detracts a great deal of attention
i from the plain face abov* it.
Diamonds are found in Soutl
Africa and South America. Tht
j soil of the United States is not im
| pregr-.ated with them, but if Broad
! way were to be swept with a drag
i net at night, and the result boiled
: down, it would yield upwards of a
car load of fine stones.
The diamond isused by young la
dies as an advertisement of theii
engagement, and nothing so solidi
fies the love of a girl for her here
as a nice carat stone in a ring. Ir
some cases the more heroes she can
have the better and when" she i
finally married she has a barrel of
souvenir rings.
Diamonds e re often indulged to
excess by the very rich. A few
diamondsattached to a perfectlady
are all right.but when she has to
wear them in her teeth and on her j
ankles in order to make room, she
is no better tnan a pawnbroker's i
show window. Diamonds are oft i
en used by men as an investment :
The price of diamonds is always go ,
mg up, and the man who pays $35C j
for a diamond as big as a steam- j
boat headlight, can often sell it for 1
$450 in a few years, which is al- j
most as good as putting the money
out at interest. However, dia
monds are more restless than 1 8
year-old daughters and after a man
has protected a diamond ring and
stud from holdup men. burglars and
hard tims for a few years, he has to
gi ve up his business and take a long
rest. Diamonds are also used to
, cut glass as well as wide swaths.

Sixteen-mile Tunnels Through the Rockies.
One of the most striking develop- |
ments of present-day engineering
is the great expense which the ]
railroad companies do not hesitate
to incur in building tunnels of unpre- ,
cedented length with a view to de
creasing their grades across the
mountain summits. The latest an
nouncement in this connection is |
that of the Canadian Pacific Rail- j
road, which states it is going to un
derfakethe construction shortly of
a tunnel that will be by far the long
est yet constructed, It is to be;
built below its pass through the j
Rocky Mountains. It will be six 1
teen miles in length and will cost
$14,000,000. This is some four
^miles longer than the well- known
Simplon Tunnel through the Alps
and the estimated time of construe- :
tion is seven years.
Womans' Missionary Union Meet.
Womans' Missionary Union met

at 3 o’clock with 14 members pres
ent. Mrs. Atnip who has returned;

tional exercises we enjoyed a very
interesting Bible study lesson. It
was decided to have a picnic on
Tuesday. May 12. and every lady
and their family are cordially invit
ed to join us and carry a lunch . Be
present at the regular business
meeting next Tuesday and bring
your egg. Arrangements for the
picnic will be completed then.

Li n. .>nd Coiten Cultivation.
Much corn and cotton of recer?
planting is now corning up and it
j ready to receive attention. 1
■vould always be better if the cor
1 md cotton both were harrowed af
: ter it came through the ground
running the harrow across the row
It is not al.vay practical to use th<
I harrow on the cotton where it is
i bedded and for this reason it woulo
1 be better to not bed the cotton, but
to level the bed. or p'ant level.
Where the land is !6w and wet.
this plan will not be best.as the bed
is necessary to keep the young cot
ton out of the water and prevent
its drowning out in tne spring rains
If it is practical to run the harrov.
across the rows of corn and cotton,
it will prove a good thing. It wil1
loosen the ground and will rid the
field of a good deal of young gra.ss
and weeds. It may seem like it
will be too destructive, but exper
ience will teach you different and
you will find that you have a good
stand left.
Be ready to meet the great bat
tles you are sure to have with ,
grass. Wet weather will most like- '
ly come along and keep you out of
the young corn and cotton longer
than is good for the crop, but keep
things moving so that you can be in
tne field-very time the ground is j
dry enough to cultivate. Whenev
er the ground is to wet to plow
be getting your plows, tools, gears
etc., ready to pitch into the crop at I
the earliest moment without de'ay. j
By keeping up with your work and ■
always making preparation in ad
vance you will be better able to win
the battle with the grass and keep
; your crop always growing. If it
I gets to wet to plow and stays that
wady to long, take up the hoe and
! go after the grass and weeds, any
how. Do not plow when the s i 1
is to wet. It will be hurtful to the
growing crop.
Nov/ is the busy time to get busy
and keep busy until the crops are
mads. Clos^ applications and u-i
relenting energy will make a good |
crop in the face of lots of bad luck ,
sometimes. *

Soy (jeans as Cow’s Competitor.
Artificial milk, made mostly from ,
the soy bean, is now being Droduc
ed on quite a large scale in several
European countries. Milk is not a !
chemical compound: it is an emul- i
sion a mechanical mixture of fat,
globules floating in a liquid whosp |
make-up is well known by scientists, j
consisting of albumenoids. mineral!
salts, etc., in water. Theoretically
it is impossible to produce an imita-i
tion milk in which these costly ani
mal elements are replaced by ele
ments of vegetable orig.n.
It is said that six times as much
milk can he produced from the same J
land by putting it into soy Deans as
by pasturing dairy cows on it. The
cow is not an efficient machine for
she turns but live per cent of the
nutriment she demands into milk,
whereas the soy bean converts
about 50 per cent. Another ad
vantage claimed for the vegetable
milk is that it is free from infection
tion by disease germs.
The soy milk has a pleasant taste
though it is not s . iutly like cows’
milk. It digests easily and like
cows milK 11 is a complete food m
itself. B; a process invented by'
Dr. Partos of Fr* burg, Germany,
ittakss or ly two boars to make
milk from the bean.. This milk
oartates so much of cr a'iu> ;. .• of
r°al milk that the • cream win rise
on it when it stands, the =ame as:
on animal milk. Chemists are hard
■X work trying to per fect processes
still fu: the' so that the vegetable
milk may take a large place in the
world's dietary.

Knllcts vs. Brains
One thousand and fifty dollars is :
what it costs to fire one shot from j
a 1 3-inch gun of the United States i
navy. If the damage to the gun
$555 is added, the amount would
run to 3 ! .6J5. That sum would
p iy a first rate cot ratry school teach
er for three years, or it would give a
boy a four years' course at a good
college or university.
Fifty-five thousand five hundred
and sixty-nine dollars is what the
United States pays for a 13-inch
cannon. That is much more than
many a high school or church or so
cial center costs. The bill for a j
superdreadnought is $ 1 5.000 000 j
which would build 6.000 now homes !
at $2,500 each.
Adequate armament for our na
I tional defense is essent a\, but what
j a waste war is! The fear of it
'steals billions from the people,
causes brick and ston<*s and mor
tar and timber to lie unused, a d
costs generations upon generations
immeasurable loss in t r? things they
might have had if the red phantom I
were not ever pacing the world’s j
horizon. Richmond Times-Dis
