'Now Bout Get the Bluest
When a cheerful, brave and light-hearted woman is sud
denly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is
a sad picture.
It is usually this way :
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, experi
encing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi
ness, and palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down
feeling is dreadfully wearing.
Her husband says, “Now, don’t get the blues I You will
be all right after you have taken the doctor’s medicine.”
But she does not get all right. She grows worse day bv
day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith ; hope vanishes ; then comes the morbid, 1
melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told
just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from
just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful
letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has
rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick |
woman in the land.
Mrs. Winifred AHender’s Letter.
“ Df.ae Mrs. Pin kit a m:—I feel it my duty to write |
and tell you of the benefit I have received from your 8
wonderful remedies. Before talcing- Lydia E. Pink- |
ham’s Vegetable Compound, 1 was a misery to my- §
self and every one around me. I suffered terrible
pain in my back, head, and right side, was very
nervous, would cry for hours. Menses would appear
sometimes in two weeks, then again not for three
or four months. I was so tired and weak, could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through my
heart that would almost cause me to fall.
“My mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. I had no faith in it, but to
please her I did so. The first bottle helped me so
much that I continued its use. I am now well and
weigh more than I ever did in my life.”—MRS.
WINIFRED ALLENDER, Farmington,111.

SOD POULTRY HOUSE.
For Cheapness, Comfort niid Con
venience, Says Its Designer, It
Is Wiihoni an Equnl,
Every western farmer may have one
of these comfortable houses with little
cost and a comparatively small amount
of labor. The sod may be turned at
any time in the year when the ground
is not frozen. A firm, well-grassed sod
is best, but other will do, the only dif
ference being in the length of time
the building will last. The walls are
laid up with bricks of sod about 12x12
inches and laid like bricks with the
exception of the cement, nothing of
that kind being used. The sod is
turned down and the walls are made
24 inches thick, two layers of sod be
ing used.
Timbers are used above openings
for doors and windows; and casings
are used as in a frame. The roof
should slope about two feet, and
SNUG POULTRY QUARTERS.
should project on all sides at least
two feet to protect the walls froiq
moisture. Rafters and three-fourths
inch lumber, covered with dirt or sod,
make the roof. Poles and brush may
be used instead of lumber, but are not
so good.
The most nearly ideal house of this
kind I ever have seen is illustrated
herewith. It is 14x38 feet, outside
dimensions,, and contains two rooms.
The roosting room is 10x18 feet, in
side measure, and contains two sec
tions of swinging roosts, each 6x8
feet, leaving a passage at each end
and a three-foot passage the whole
length on the south, where the three
windows are located. There is a stove
pipe ventilator in each room, which
can be partially closed in winter. The
roosts are about 2*4 feet from tile
floor and swung on fence wire from
the cross sections at the roof.
Opening from the roosting rooms is
the scratching and nest room, which
is 10x14 feet, inside measure. In sum
mer it is used only for nests. These
nests run the entire length of the
room on the north and across the ends,
except where the doors interfere.
They are two feet deep—if fowls are
large they could be lower—and filled
up about one foot with cut straw. On
the south are two full-sized windows,
giving plenty of light and sunshine for
winter, and easily blinded in summer,
when so much light is not practicable.
Floors arc of dirt, covered with
straw for scratching or swept clean
when summer comes. Fowls will lay
the whole season. They are warm in
winter and cool in summer, and they
seem to like the dirt walls better than
any other kind I know of. For cheap
ness, comfort and convenience, the
sod hen house has not an equal.—Mrs,
L. M. Lutton, in Farm and Home.
Hent Spoils the Duckling;*.
They will stand almost anything, but
they cannot endure too much heat.
One of the most common troubles is
that the ducklings get weak-legged
and almost invariably the poultry pa
pers say that it is too rich feeding that
does it. The minute you begin to over
heat them the legs grow soft and large
so they cannot stand up and the bill
grows so sofl that they cannot pick up
food. It really comes from too much
heat. They are particularly suscepti
bly to the heat of the sun. It is al
most invariably a fact that if you let
them get thirsty and then give them
water and let them go into the sun
they will have convulsions and most of
them will die.—G. H. Pollard, in Barm
and Home.
Lettuce lor the Chicken*.
Lettuce is the best green food we
have ever tried for chickens in confine
ment. They will turn from clover in
any form and greedily devour lettuce
in any stage of its growth if it is given
to them fresh, or any time before it
wilts. An ordinary sized breeding pen,
say, from five to ten, will eat about
eight good-sized hunches or stalks
three or four times a week, and eat it
clean, too. By drilling it quite thick
in the rows and cutting (not pulling)
it close to the ground when gathering
it for fowls a little “patch” of ground
may he made to yield a sufficient
amount for quite a flock during an en
tire season. Try a patch next spring
—Interstate Poultryman.
Insects in Stored Grain.
The best way to kill these insects is
to use bisulphide of carbon. This
liquid quickly exhales as deadly gas,
which is heavier than air and sinks
down through the grain. Put the
bisulphide in a deep dish at the top of
the grain. Close the bin and make it
as nearly airtight as possible by
throwing blankets or bags over the
top. The liquid will evaporate and the
gas will work down through the grain.
The gas Is deadly and very quicij to
take fire. Do not breathe close tc\)ja
dish, or bring any light near it.—

There is more Catarrh in this section ot
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last^ few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi
monials. Address F. J. Cheney & Co., To

FROM DEATH'S DOOR,
Hillsdale, 111., April 29th.—Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in a dying condition for several
months with an apparently incurable
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, la., had at
tended him, and in a consultation de
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr. L. F. Giles, a local druggist, as
to a last resort. Mr. Giles suggested
'Dodd’s Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvelous. Mr.
Marks immediately began to improve,
and within a few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of a miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd’s Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
as Bright’s Disease, Dtiabetes, and
Dropsy', yield readily to its remark
able influence. These forms of
Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered incurable, and have
baffled all medical skill, and yet, this
new remedy has cured every single
case in which it has been used, in
this neighborhood. The doctors
themselves are amazed at the won
derful work Dodd’s Kidney Pills are
accomplishing in Rock Island County.
Pronounce It.
