TOADS, $20 EACH. TWICE A BRIDE AT SIXTEEN. The wonderful insect-killing capac- ity of the toad is known in a general way to the enlightened few, says Country Life in America. An im- ported colony of toads may be the salvation of a flower garden. We now have some interesting figures, which show that every toad In the garden may be worth $20 or more. Many gardeners give their children a cent apiece for every cutworm de- stroyed, considering this a low esti- mate of the damage caused by these insects. From May 1st to August 1st, a toad may destroy 2,160 cutworms, which It would cost $21.60 to destroy by hand. English gardners are said to pay as much as $25 per hundred for toads for colonizing purposes. Ohio Girl Wedded at 14 Gets Divorce and Will Marry Again.

It appears from a tabulated state- ment of the results of the annual target practice issued by the navy de- partment that the gunners of our fleet have attained a very high degree of accuracy.

The north Atlantic and the- Asiatic battleship squadrons have distinguished themselves by rec- ords of 87.27 per cent and 82.84 per cent, respectively. The cruisers have not done so well as the battleships. The explanation is simple enough.

Thiscountry haa vast tracts of valuable timber which only await the advent of the railroads to make them of enormous commercial value. In the southern part of the republic the hard woods, such as mahogany, ebony and cedar, have long been exploited and the supply is growing very limited within the access of transportation facilities. Large forests of such tim­ber still exist, however, ln the more remote sections. In the central and northern parts of the republic, there are large tracts of soft pine, oak and miscellaneous varieties, especially on the western slope of the central mountain range, where there are as yet almost no transportation facili­ties, and along a wide strip of land extending wastward from the gulf coast.

Alcohol From Peat.A. company has recently been or­

According to its process, the company will be able to distill alcohol cheaper from peat than It can be obtained from other substances, and will, therefore, be able to sell Its product for fuel purposes.

“I have been suffering from Blad­der and Kidney Trouble for 26 years and I have tried everything that peo­ple said would do me good. But nothing did me any good except Dodd’s Kidney Pills.

“I haven’t felt a pain since I took Dodd’s Kidney Pills. They gave me health and I feel like a new man al­together. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the best I ever had.”

All Urinary and Bladder Troubles are caused by diseased Kidneys. The natural way to cure them is to cure the kidneys. Dodd’s Kidney Pills never fall to cure diseased kidneys in any stage or place. They always cure Backache and ‘they are the only remedy that ever cured Bright’s Dis­ease.

In a note upon the origin of the Salvation army the following account of the selection of the title is given by London Opinion: William Booth the younger one day wrote at his father’s dictation the words Christian mission is a voluntary army.over his son’s shoulder and substi­tuted the word "salvation" for “vol­untary.army born. And the addition of the various military titles followed nat­urally, though curiously enough that of captain was originally Intended to be nautical, ln order to please the Whitby fishermen. As for Mr. Booth’s title of general, the credit for It be­longs to Capt. Cadman, who one day announced him at a meeting as the general of the Salvation army, and that has stuck to him ever since.

TOADS, $20 EACH. TWICE A BRIDE AT SIXTEEN.

The wonderful insect-killing capac­ity of the toad is known in a general way to the enlightened few, says Country Life in America. An im­ported colony of toads may be the salvation of a flower garden. We now have some interesting figures, which show that every toad In the garden may be worth $20 or more. Many gardeners give their children a cent apiece for every cutworm de­stroyed, considering this a low esti­mate of the damage caused by these insects. From May 1st to August 1st, a toad may destroy 2,160 cutworms, which It would cost $21.60 to destroy by hand. English gardners are said to pay as much as $25 per hundred for toads for colonizing purposes.

After all Is said and done, visiting friends must always be the most deli­cate of pleasures. Of all forms of social enjoyment, a well-chosen house- party Is perhaps the most complete and satisfactory. It is only during such short vacations (and on board ship) that the galling harness of ev­ery-day routine drops completely from one’s weary shoulders; it Is there only that we escape entirely from the myriad little cares and worries that lie in wait for us outside.

Needs Only a Little Thinking.The food of childhood often decides

whether one is to grow up well nour­ished and healthy or weak and sick­ly from improper food.

It’s just as easy to be one as the other provided we get a proper start.

A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, complish wonders provided the tient is willing to help and will eat only proper food.

Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four year old boy suffering from a peculiar derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn't take a step, said at once we must be very careful as to his diet as Improper food was the only cause of his sickness. Sugar especially, he forbid.

“So the Dr. made up a diet and the principal food hq prescribed Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things took the Grape- Nuts readily without adding any sugar. (Dr. explained that the sweet In Grape-Nufs Is not at all like or beet sugar but Is the natural sweet of the grains.)

When ln bed his nervous temperament was tried; he could not bear the ticking of the clocks, so he paraded the house in the small hours of the morning and stopped them all. In consequence of this the servants had to be roused by violent bell-ringing; but the guest was not to be distressed, so he arose again and ordered the servants back to their rooms and locked them in and then went back to bed.”

For fifty years It has not been occu­pied, except as a storehouse, and is rapidly going to pieces.

It was ln this house that Gen. John Stark took his breakfast the morning of the battle of Bennington, after leaving bis camp and marching to meet the British forces.

It appears from a tabulated state­ment of the results of the annual target practice issued by the navy de­partment that the gunners of our fleet have attained a very high degree of accuracy. This Is particularly true with regard to guns of five-inch cali­ber and upward. The north Atlantic and the- Asiatic battleship squadrons have distinguished themselves by rec­ords of 87.27 per cent and 82.84 per cent, respectively. The cruisers have not done so well as the battleships. The explanation is simple enough. The larger vessel constitutes a stead­ier gun platform ln a seaway, and, its guns being placed higher, a more per­fect range is secured. This conclu­sion is emphasized by the fact that the
