Nordquiet met with an accident last Thursday afternoon that nearly cost him a thumb. As it was, the digit was hanging to the hand by onlv a few threads when Dr. Wells started to dress it. The< bone and flesh were badly smashed, but it is thought that the thnmb will be saved. Mr. Nordqnist has recently added to his shop fixtures a device for -holding fractious horses while shoeing, and it was while manipulating this that he was injured, his thumb being wedged between two pieces of iron which came together with all the force that an 1800- pound horse could exert in close quar­ ters. It is an accident, however, that is no fault of either the machine or the operators and probably would not hap­ pen again in 100 years. > This machine is nothing more or less tl.an a powerful straight jacket, strong enough to holfl the largest and most vicious horse while it is being shod. When'once fastened in the animal can neither move backward or forward an inch nor can it raise or lower its body. If necessary, the horse can be lifted from the floor and swnng in the aii. There is also a strong, human like au- tomati; device for holding the animal's foot while the shoe is being put on. We trust that Mr. Nordqnist will soon be able to test the machine again with better results. Better than Gold. "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigesti on and nervous debil­ ity," writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster, N. H. "No remedy helped me nntil I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medicines I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years. She says Electric Bitters are just splendid for female troubles; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place in onr family." Try them.

I suffered with falling and con­ gestion of the womb, with severe pains through the groins. I suf­ fered terribly at the time of men­ struation, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to try 1 knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but I had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women. I found it pleasant to take and soon knew that I had the right medicine. New blood seemed to course through my veins and after using eleven bottles I was a well woman. Mrs. Bush is now in perfect health because she took Wine of 'Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief. Any sufferer may secure health by tak­ ing Wine of Cardui in her home. The first bottle convinces the pa­ tient she is on the road to health.

WINECARDUI M"HENRY COUNTY FAIR. fsMittm Oonsmlttm Hwlt mmA OmiMn Important QtuMtloma, Oak Grove Farm, Hebron, Feb. 2, 1904. DEAR EDITOR:--The executive oom- mittfte and superintendents of depart­ ments of the McHenry county agri­ cultural board met at Woodstock Tues­ day, Feb. 9, with a good attendance; President Desmond in the chair. The indebtedness of the association was dis­ cussed at length and it was decided by unanimous vote that the members of the executive committee should circu­ late petitions to be signed by the tax­ payers in each township asking the su­ pervisors for an appropriation of $8,000 to cover the indebtedness which exists as a result of the unfortunate weather conditions during the fair of 1908, A new office, namely, "Chief of Po­ lice, " was created aud Mr. A. Hender­ son of Nunda was elected to fill said of­ fice and Dr. A. M. Wray of Richmond, who served so acceptably, as assistant marshal last year, was unanimously' elected marshal for 1904. The secretary was instructed to ar­ range for a convention of fair managers of neighboring fair associations to be held at Woodstock at an early date to form a circuit and co-operate in other matters of mntnal benefit to the various associations. The president, secretary, treasurer, general superintendent, su­ perintendents of speed and privileges were elected to represent McHepry county at said meeting. The question of holding a fire-day fair was discussed and action deferred until after the meeting of fair manag­ ers. The old system of entry books was adopted; superintendents to make all entries in their respective departments. A vote of thanks was extended to Chas A. Lemmers for his kindness in donating two show cases for the culi­ nary department. The secretary was instructed to pub­ lish 8,000 premium lists in the same manner as last year and to issue no com­ plimentary tickets to psople of the county, except to members of the pr ss. Superintendent Zimpleuian spoke on the matter of privileges, strongly up­ holding the policy of the board in ex­ cluding everything of a questionable character. He said it would be his pol­ icy to exclude everything to which he would not take his wife and family aud that any privilege renter found violat ing the rules of the board would forfeit his privilege. He would also collect all privilege moneys in advanoe and turn over his books with his report to the di­ rectors at close of fair. He said the people wanted a clean fair and should have it as far as his department was concerned. On motion Of H T. Thompson it was unanimously decided to employ single expert judges in all departments. GEO A. HUNT, Secretary. Tendency of |tbe Time*. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated thai pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medi­ cal men have to contend with, can be prevented by the us© of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re­ sults from a cold or an attack of influ­ enza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any ten­ dency of these diseases toward' pneu­ monia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases iu which this remedy has been nsed during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with im­ plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re­ sults from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly dis­ covered that there is fever and difficul­ ty in breathing and pains in the chest, thtta it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon a* the cold is contracted. It al­ ways cures. For sale by all druggists. Tiuml Taxe* I Twxeft!

AN INTERESTING PAPER f* "How to Obtain Loving and HWl; - Obe­ dience mt Children." [Continued from page one.] on children's minds remaiii. through future years. ^ Mothers, cultivate patience, be firm, yet gentle. Don't be too exacting, mote harm than good will coiue of this. Mischief in children is often an expres­ sion of normal development and is not moral but physical. You have uo right to make a law that a little child must sit still when God has written a law in his members which says that he must not keep perfectly HtilL Make him comfortable and he will be less trouble. A child '8 questions come from his God- given impulse to know Certain traits, though trying in youth, should not be eliminated, but cultivated in the right direction. Thus curiosity becomes thirst toi knowledge, and selfishness self respect nnder proper correction and control. At eight years of age a child's brain weighs nine-tenths of what it ever does. The inoet rapid development is before this age. "Men and women," Shakespeare tells us, "are but children larger grown." This is my idea, also, that children are men and women to be developed, both mentally and physical­ ly. Brought here to this world, wheth­ er they wish or no, it is our duty to do the very best for them that lies in our power. It is the duty of motners to be ever on the alert, to keep eyes, ears and brain always at work, to say nothing of the hearts that should keep ceaseless vigil, even when all else is sleeping. Someone has beautifully said: "God conld not be everywhere, so he made mothers," and the true and wise moth­ er "neither slumbers nor sleeps," but keeps constant watch and guard over the little ones which have been given into her tender and loving keeping.

For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh he so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own. He stands for Scott's Emul­ sion of pure cod liver oil--a delightful food and a natural tonic for children, for old folks and for all who need flesh and strength. SCOTT & BOWNB.
