Plain Talks on Fertilizers A Talk to Fruit-Growers You use a fertilizer of course, but do you use enough ? The yield per acre, and the profit therefrom increases in far greater proportion than the cost of additional' fertilizer. What is an increase in cost of $2.00 to $10.00 per acre for fertilizer when the returns therefrom show an increase of $50.00 to $250.00 per acre? The big Magnolia Fruit Farms at Durant, Miss., tested the well-known Virginia-Car olina Fertilizer in different quantities o n their straw berry crop. Result: when 1,000 lbs. per acre were used the profit was $7$.00 more per acre than when 500 lbs. per acre were used. This is modern intensive cul ture, the method that is doub ling and trebling the crops of all kinds of fruit in either good orln poor and worn-out land all over the country?and in good soil, too. The yield will be according to the ?amount of plant food you give your trees or plants ? you can de pend on it. The better they are fed the greater and more valuable will be your crop. Fertil ize sparingly and you reap sparingly. The fact that over a million tons of. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer were sold last year proves them to be without equal. Every fruit farmer, no matter what method he now uses, should get the Vir ginia - Carolina Company's new? Year Book or Almanac. It is free to all who are inter ested enough to write for it.

While sound asleep In bod at 3 o'clock in the morning Hugh Hollis, Jr., n clerk In the internal revenue bu reau iu Washington, shot and killed bis wife, Evelyn Forsythe Hollis. Wakened by the shrieks of his mother in-law, he tried twice to take his own life, but in vain. A coroner's jury ac quitted fijn of all blame. Mr. aud Mrs. nollls, married three years, had one child, a boy of eleveu months. With Mrs. Hollis* mother, Mrs. Emma Forsythe, the family lived iu a cottage on the outskirts of the city. Husband and wife were deeply attached to each other, aud their devo tion had been increased by the advent of the baby. Mr. Hollis is thirty years old. His wife was twenty-four. The only diver sion the husband found away from home was in a revolver club of which he is a member. He is one of the lin ed in to fiud her daughter clinging to the bedpost with a wound in her breast. "Hugh has shot me!" Mrs. Hollis gasped as she fell into her mother's arms aud died, shot through the heart. Aroused by Mrs. Forsythe's screams. Hollis jumped from bed,' struck a match and lighted the gas. Dazed. Hollis could not be made to realize for some time what he had done. When lie did he seemed on the verge of going insane. The revolver was on the floor, and he made au attempt to get it, but Mrs. Forsythe slid it out of his way. He rushed toward the bathroom, where there was a razor, but Mi's. Forsythe held him. "Go for a doctor!" she begged. He ran downstairs and to the home of Dr. Dwight C. Smith. ?Come, doctor!" he said. "A terrible accident has happened!" ' IT WAS HIS WIFE. est shots In the club. He bought a now revolver, a large one. and to test it got leave from the office and spent the afternoou shooting on the club range. When he went home he proud ly exhibited the uew weapon to his wife and mother-in-law. Mrs. Hollis begged him not to keep it loaded in the house. The neighborhood bad been annoyed by petty thieves, and Hollis replied that he Intended to keep the revolver loaded for Intruders. Mrs. Hollis again protested and reminded him that he still had bis small revolver, which he kept under his pillow at night, but aft er cleaning it he went upstairs, took the small revolver from under the pil low and put the larger weapon there instead. "I'm ready for burglars now." he re marked. His wife replied laughingly: "You couldn't shoot a burglar, any how." "I'll show you if one comes around," said Hollis. The family retired about 11, Mr. and Mrs. Hollis going to their rooms and Mrs. Forsythe to hers, where the baby also slept. Early In the morning the baby awoke, and Mrs. Hollis, hearing the lirtle fellow fretting, went Into her mother's room and rocked him to sleep, after which she returned to her own room. There was no light except from the street lamp in front of the house. As she turned the corner of the bed a shot rang out, and Mrs. Forsythe rush I When he came back he found the house In charge of the police.

Not even the sound of the shot had disturbed him. Hollis when called to testify was on the verge of nervous collapse. He said: "I don't know anything f.bout it. The first I knew was when 'i got up and lighted the gas. I don't know where the pistol was. I never did see it after the shooting." The coroner's jury brought in a ver dict that Hollis was unconscious when he fired the shot which killed Mrs. Hollis and that he was therefore not responsible for her death. The coro ner ordered his immediate release Hollis Is broken hearted over the ter rible affair, and his friends are fearful that he will lose his reason. Hollis' mother, who lives In Louis ville, said that ever since he was a child he had been subject to nightmare and walked iu his sleep. She said it frequently had been ob served that his dreams seemed to fol low conversations of the evening, like the conversation about burglars. That he should think his wife a burglar and shoot her. said the mother, was in ac cord with his somnolent acts all his life. Carried His Leg Two Miles.

S. has been of great service to me and J. do not hesitate to give it the credit it deserves. WM. F. VANDYKE. 815 Fifth Street, Beaver Falls, Penn. The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very " engine "of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the bod}-, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature's blood purifier and tonic; made entirely of heajing, cleansing roots and herbs. It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity, liutnor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it is in need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S.
