"I denire to let the world know the
great debt I owe "Fruit -a -fives" which
saved my life when I had given up hope
of ever being well again.
For six years, I suffered from dreadful
Kidney Disease. My legs and lower
part of my body were fearfully swollen.
The painin my side and legs would be
so bad that I would faint with the agony.
Five different doctors attended lire
and all said it was Kidney Disease and
gave hie no hope of getting well.
A kind neighbor visited me and
mentioned the case of Mrs. Fenwick
who had been cured of a sickness like
mine. I took "Fruit -a -fives" andin a
short time, I began to feel better -the
swelling went down -the pains were
easier --and soon I was well,

FOlJNDATION OF CROPS.
LJeo its Seeds, So Keep Yours Glean
and Well Graded. .
Of all tillage that a farmer should
do and of all things that he usual-
ly does not do until the day before
seeding commences, if be does It at
all, is the cleaning and gradiug of his
seed grain, says the Iowa IIonaestead,
Putting it off is easier than doing it,
so a great many of us put it oft, espe.,
Melly where we own no mill of our
own. We do not realize teat it would
be a good investment for us to buy one
and do not feel like asking a neighbor
for the loan or use of his mill.
But cleaning and gradiug seed grain
do pay. It would pay dollars fox
every hour spent at the actual labor of
using the mill, besides $1 an hour for
the use of the mill. This may seem
tike setting It pretty high, but Walt
a little. Take into consideration the
tact that a small, wrinkled, shriveled
kernel of grain produces, if it produces
anything, only a small, weakly, spin-
dling plant. This plant may live through
the season and produce Ito like ar it
may die early in Iife and be replaced
by weeds or grass. In any case we
should be having a strong, hearty,
healthy plant growing where the sick-
ly, spindling specimen grows, and the
only way to be sure of it is to grade
the seed we sow -to take out the small,
shriveled kernels and sow only' the
plump, heavy oues,
Almost any one is ready to admit that
wei grow too many weeds now without
deliberately sowing more seed of such
pests with our small grain, but we ac-
tually and deliberately do sow weed
seed that we would like mighty well
to get rid of when we sow grain just
as the thrasher cleaned it. A little
cleaning with a good mill always sur
prises one by taking a lot of weed and
bad grass seed out of what we think
Is very clean grain, while grain that
we admit is too dirty to sow seems
simply to dissolve itself into half weed
seed and trash in going through a mill,
POINTERS FOR CORN GROW-
ERS. �•
Do not fail to drain your soil.
It will pay you for your ton.
• If clover's sickly, put on lime.
That will bring the soil to time.
Growing corn much water needs.
]Keep a soil mulch. I{lit the weeds.
Heavy sods and good manure
Make the corn crop doubly sure.
This advice pray do not scorn:
Use some phosphate on your corn.

For Perforating Sod.
When lawns are to be improved a
sod perforator is a convenient imple-
tnent to use. It consists of two twelve -
inch squares
of one inch
board nailed to-
gether
ogether after the
lower one itae
been Sited full
of rather large
nails, . as shown
In the drawing.
In the center a
stout handle Is
fastened and the
tool is ready for
-eJr�+,iR use, It is pound-
ed down on the
lawn just before seed or fertilizer is to
be sown. Each blow makes a lot of
small holes, into which the seed and
the fertilizer are washed by the next
rain, thus preventing loss. -American
4egrieulturist.
Has Your Horse tho "Shivers?"
.A. horse with the "shivers" is a
mighty uncomfortable creature and is
always an easy victim to the influenza
bug. Perhaps the stable is damp or
drafty. More likely it is lacking in
ventilation and no purifying rays of
sunshine reach its interior. In such
case the stock breathe over and over
again the same air, their blood be-
comes starved for oxygen, and the cir-
culation is impaired.
Larger Posts Are gest.
The Ohio experiment station in some
tests to determine the durability of
farm timbers found that large posts
usually last longer than small ones of
the same wood. It makes no differ-
ence, says a report received by the
departmeut of agriculture, which er•i
of the post is put in the ground, et-
cept that preference should be giv.a
to the sounder or larger end. "
Cultivating the Orchard.
A good method of cultivating an
apple orchard is to plow very shallow,
as early in the spring as convenient
and then keep harrowing at least once
a week, according to weather condi-
tions, until the first or even the middle
of July. Then seed the land with
crimson clover or some other good
tover crop.

WILES OF GEM THIEVES
GENIUS AND RESOURCE NOW
MARK THEIR CALLING.
The Day of the Clumsy Window,
Breaking Jewelry Robber Has Pass.
ed Because Merchants Have Adopt-
ed All Sorts of Safety Contrivances
-The Criminal Has Now Set His
Wits Against the lnver'ar,
The "crook" of to -day who makes
a specialty of jewel robberies possesses
nerve end ingenuity which, applied to
more legitimate pursuits, would as-
euredly earls for him a fortune. Of
course. there is the clumsy thief with
very limited brain, who smashes the
jeweler's window with half a brick
hoping to be able to decamp with a
Fanciful of jewels ere passers-by and
the jeweler's assistants have recover.
(el from their surprise. The up-to-
dete. jeweler, however, checkmates the
window -:smasher by hanging an extra
plate of glass from the ceiling by
cl:ains just inside the window pane.
The force of the brick might break
t t : outside glass, but it would 'be
el,emked by the inner plate, and, even
if it did break the latter, the thief
w nlci have two jagged holes to put
hi. hand through -a difficult job to
r:a-•:';e snceessfuliy,
And then there is the equally
clemey thief who enters a jeweler's
shop, ostensibly to purchase jewels,
e.,.,1 endeavors to bolt with a number
which he snatches off the counter,
suite forgetting that there are such
fhinge as automatic closin.;'doors, and
hat, while one assistant is serving
t'i, reg are usually one or two others
. t otinely deeply engaged in various
t •.rlc connected with the shop, but in
eility standing in eluse proximity to
ta^ door, and ready to circumvent any
weir trickery.
The clever jewelry thief, however,
rebuts quite different tactics. Take
i 1' instance, the man vo a .short
!eine ago, because known as a regular,
if clot a very wealthy, customer at a
West End (London) jeweler's. He
frequently made small purchases, and
admired at the same time the more
tee: tiv jewels displayed in the cases
,•n the counter. One day he aeke.t to
k more closely at a certain dia-
mord necklace which he had previous-
ly admired, and the obliging jeweler
book it out of the case to show hint.
.After duly praising it, the custom-
er handed it back and the jeweler
v..:.mitt have taken no further note of
Cie incident had he not happened to
re.ticehat the necklace lead attached
to it a rag of buff color. All goods in.
the shop here white tags and he im-
mediately surmised that something
nal wromg. The man was detained
end search revealed that lie had the
original neeklaee while the other
h+.nded hack tc the jeweler was an
imitation.
It appeared that (burin:; the several
vi.,ite paid by the eustomer he had
fusels a close study of the necklace as
it lay in the ease taking in tha min-
n'r<t details and from memory had an
intitatien made from paste diamonds,
i•rcet enough in every particular
1 . deceive almost anyone; and this
he had a lounged for the real neck -
'nee while admiring it. Had he not
=de the small mistake of attaching
to it a wrong -colored tag the jeweler
might still be bemoaning the loss of
a e2,500 necklace.
Till:' palming of real jewels and
handing back imitations is a favorite
:.":file with jewelry thieves, and only
).y the greatest care can loss at their
hinds be prevented. An elaboration
,.f this trick etas, by the way, been
tried very successfully both in London
;eel in New Yt rk. .1 smartly -dressed
w.,nian ith a pretty child ---usually a
ed -driven up to a fashionable jewel-
er's and asks to inspect a selection of
stories. Naturally the child displays
a certain curiosity, which is appar-
ently checked by the lady, who fre-
quently athuonislied the youngster
with words; "No. darling; you must
not tcueh these things. Beep your
hands awry."
The child seencs so innocent of
wrongdoing that the jeweler suspects
nothings, and perhaps engages the
child he conversation, and it is while
en doing that he offers the lady :in
opportunity for substituting some
panto stones for the real. Or, if a
chance occurs, the lady will detract
the jeweler's attention from the child
for a moment and allow the precocious
youngster, who, of 'course, has been
trained for the part, to effect a sub-
stitution of the incitation for the real.
And then there is the old dodge,
stili worked very successfully, of af-
fixing a
Bain a fees of cobbler's wax in the
1 b s
hollow heel of a boot, accidentally
knocking off a ring or so from the
counter, treading an it, and after sub-
mitting to a search by the suspicious
jeweler and threatening all sorts of
legal proo:edin ss for indignity, walk-
ing out with the spoils, worth per-
haps $200 or $300.
The half -eaten apple scheme is also
an old one, but even now is worked
successfully, The operator enters a
store munching an apple, and while
examining uncut stones, presses one
into the apple, casually saunters to
the door, and throws it out. Then Le
returns and buys a little something.
His eonfe:leretc in the outside gets
the apple and the stone.
The umbrella -carrying thief is also
another one to look out for. It is easy
to sweep goods off the counter into
the folds, and the alert salesman al-
ways keeps his eyes open to the
stranger who handles a Ilanderchief
while looking over goods but appar-
ently does not put that article to nat-
ural use.
Perhaps ignorance Was Bliss.

A False Alarm,
From the Philadelphia Past.
Over the telephone a worried voice
addressed the proprietor of a small
hardware store in a West Kentucky
town. •
"Say," the speaker began, "I come
in your place to -day and bought one
of them dollar alarm clocks, and you
set her fer me to go off at five o'clock
in the mornin'. D'ye remember?"
"Yes," said the hardware man, "I
remember."
"Well," went on the other, "I've jest
found out that I don't have to git up
at five o'clock in the mornin'."
"Glad to hear it," said the hardware
man; "but what do you want me to do
about it?"
"I want you," said the customer, "to
tell me how to unalarm this clock."
A SUNSHINE SONG.
Would you make some saddened heart
Just a little lighter?
Would you make some burdened life
Just a little brighter?
Drop a word of hope end cheer;
Set the echoes ringing
With your notes of love and joy,
As you go a -singing.
Would you smooth the rugged path
Down along life's highway?
Would you plant the rose of faith
In some lonely byway?
Just a deed of kindness done
Clears the path before us,
And the lilies of God's love
Bloom and blossom o'er us.
Just a little word of cheer
Lightens every duty;
Just a smile will often show
Faces wreathed in beauty,
Sprinkle sunshine as you go,
Comfort the distressing,
And your own reward shall be
Heaven's choicest blessing.
