J., says: "Working nights during bad weather brought on a heavy cold, aching of the limbs and pain in the back and kidneys. Severe congestion of the kidneys followed. Besides the terrific aching there were ! whirling headaches, and I became exceed­ ingly weak. My doc­ tor could not help me, and I turned to Doan's Kidney Pills, with the re­ sult that the kidney congestion dis­ appeared and, with it, all the other symptoms. What is more, the cure has lasted for eight years." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents % box, Foeter-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y, Talleyrand and the Bore. 'f3r- Wyndham, the English member of parliament, was speaking of how easy it is to bore an audience with an after-dinner speech. He said the severest reproof for a bore which he recollected was that administered by the great Talleyrand while driving with a friend, who kept telling him stories. As they passed through the Streets of a continental town, which in those days were policed by many sentries, they observed one sentry yawn at his post and Talleyrand said to his friend: "Hush, we are ob­ served." Mark of Venomous Snakes. The only sure way to tell a venom­ ous snake Is to kill the reptile, open its mouth with a stick, and look for the hollow, curved fangs. When not in use they are compressed against the roof of the mouth, beneath the reptile's eyes. They are hinged, as you can see if you pull them forward with a pencil. The venom is con­ tained in a sack hidden beneath the skin at the base of each fang.--Field and Stream. Cancer Serum Ineffective.

Senator Herftenway tells of an inci­ dent that occurred during a political campaign in Iowa. In one of the towns It had been ar­ ranged that, when the big orators of the day had had their say with refer­ ence to politics, there were to be a number of entertainments of the side­ show variety to be held on the com­ mon. A pompous politician, who had served a term in the state legislature, and was by reason of that fact on extremely good terms with himself, while endeavoring with a number of ladies to make his way through a dense crowd that surrounded one of the shows, found himself unable to proceed further because of a burly in­ dividual whom he could not thrust aside. Drawing himself up to his full height the politician tapped the of­ fending one on the shoulder, saying as he did so: "Here! Make way theref" "Who are you, that you should push me round that way?" demanded the native. "A representative of the people, sir!" exclaimed the politician in­ dignantly. " The man grinned. "Oh, that ain't nothin'." said be. "We folks here air the peepul theirselves!"--New York Times, Good Work In Beautifying *¥ewiri. In 1853 a woman in Stockbridge, Mast., founded the first village im­ provement society in America. Stockbridge was only a shabby little town then, with a muddy road through it, a cemetery ftill of weeds, and a bare common, unshaded and trodden. In a single year the place was trans­ formed. Four hundred trees were planted, the road rebuilt, the village made clean and attractive. The history: of this place is not unique. Wonders, miracles even, have been wrought in out-of-the-way spots. In one of the most hopeless towns in Georgia,a society was formed which began by planting a double row of trees along its central roadway. This is now a handsome boulevard. The street is curbed with granite, grass has been made to grow and shrubs have been set out everywhere! Rural parks, churches draped with, vines, and house" yards vying with one another in beauty all make the place an Eden. With this town as an ob­ ject lesson no one need despair of even the most forlorn little village.-- Boston Transcrift. TERRIBLE SCALP HUMOR. Sadly Affected With Sores and Cruets Extended Down Behind the Ears ---Another Cure by Cuticura. "About ten years ago my scalp be­ came badly affected with sore and itching humors,, crusts, etc., and ex­ tended down behind the ears. My hair came out in places, also. I was great­ ly troubled; understood it was ecze­ ma. Tried various remedies so called, without effect. Saw your Cuticuia advertisement, and got the Cuticura Remedies at once. Applied them as to directions, etc, and after two weeks I think, of use, was clear as a whistle. 1 have to state also that late last fall, cctober and November, 1904, I was suddenly afflicted with a bad eruption painful and itching pustules over the lower part of the body. 1 suffered dreadfully.

MAYBE HE QUOTED SOMETHING All Up to the Speaker. Congressman Dalzell of Pennsylva­ nia, Speaker Cannon's mouthpiece on the committee on rules, was defend­ ing the Cannon statehood policy in the house. "The only way," said he, "that under our rules we could con­ sider a motion to concur in the senate amendments to the bill would be by unanimous consent." "Will the gen­ tleman yield for a question?" asked. Adam Bede of Minnesota, insurgent and a house wit. "Yes." "Does the gentleman from Pennsylvania not think that if the speaker would con­ sent we would at once get unanimous consent?" "Yes," confessed Dalzell. Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

BUI It's Even Betting Rates Were Not Mentioned. Robert L. Burnap, general freight Agent of the Central Vermont railroad, is an enthusiastic Dartmouth man who, however, always places, business first and college sefcond, contrary to the custom of some of his fellow young alumni. After the Dartmouth-Harvard foot ball game last fall some of them kept Burnap out of bed as long as possible discussing the result. Then they gave him an hour in which to get well settled in bed and called him by telephone at his hotel room. "Is this Mr. Burnap?" "Yes." "General freight agent Of the Cen tral Vermont railroad?" "Yes." " "Pardon me, Mr. Burnap, but have you the power to quote rates?" "Yes." "Now, at this hour in the morning can you quote me a rate?" "Yes." "Thank you. Please give nw, then, your lowest rate from Kalamazoo to Keokuk, over the Central Vermont, on four humming birds and two pink jackasses." Ice Making in France. Consul Jackson of La Rochelle states that on account of the steadily increasing fishing industry the manu­ facture of ice in La Rochelle has be­ come an important consideration. He says: "The most l&portant ice plant pro duces forty tons per day, and there are three others of varying capacity. The system employed is that by which sulphurous acid is used. The appear ance of ice for industrial require­ ments has naturally suggested its use for domestic purposes. Several at­ tempts to make ice boxes or refrigera tors have been more or less unsuc­ cessful. In one instance a family im ported a refrigerator direct from New York. There should be an excellent opportunity for the American ice box in La Rochelle and neighborhood." Tea Exports Fall Off. " It Is estimated that in fifteen years the export of Chinese-grown oolong tea from the port of Amoy has fallen Off from approximately 15,000,000 pounds to 900,000 pounds. Of this the United States imported not one pound There were shipped, however, through the port of Amoy to America, in 1904, 11,324,067 pounds of oolong tea from The Coffee Debate. The published statements of a num­ ber of coffee Importers and roasters indicate a "waspy" feeling towards us for daring to say that coffee is harm fal to a percentage of the people. A frank public discussion of the sub­ ject Is quite agreeable to us and can certainly do no harm; on the contrary when all the facts on both sides of any question are spread before the people they can thereupon decide and act in­ telligently. Give the people plain facts and they will take care of themselves. We demand facts in this coffee dis­ cussion and propose to see that the facts'are brought clearly before the people. A number of coffee Importers and roasters haVe joined a movement to boom coffee and stop the use of Pac­ tum Food Coffee and in {heir newspa­ per statements undertake to deceive by false assertions. Their first Is that ooffee is not harm- fuL We assert that one in every three coffee users has some form of incipi­ ent or chronic disease; realize for one moment what a terrible menace to a nation of civilized people, when one kind of beverage cripples the energies and health of one-third the people who use it. We make the assertion advisedly and suggest that the reader secure his own proof by personal Inquiry among coffee users. Ask your coffee drinking friends if they keep free from any sort of aches and alls. You will be startled at the percentage and will very naturally seek to place the cause of disorder on something aside from coffee, whether food, Inherited tendencies or some­ thing else. Go deeoer in your search for facts. If your friend admits occasional neu­ ralgia, rheumatism, heart weakness, stomach or bowel trouble, kidney com­ plaint, weak eyes or approaching nerv­ ous prostration induce him or her to make the experiment of leaving off coffee for 10 days and using Postum Food Coffee, and observe the result. It will startle yeu and give your friend something to think of. Of course, if tiw person 4b «*• «C tfct* traak earn and says "I can't quit" you will have discovered one of the slaves of the cof­ fee importer. Treat such kindly, for they seem absolutely powerless to stop the gradual but sure destruction of body and health. Nature has a way of destroying a part of the people to make room for the stronger. It is the old Jaw of "the survival of the fittest" at work, and the victims are many. We repeat the assertion that coffee does harm many people, not all, but an army large enough to appal the in­ vestigator and searcher for facts. The next prevarication of the coffee importers and roasters is their state­ ment that Postum Food Coffee Is made of roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed with a low grade of coffee and that it contains no nourishment. We have previously offered to wager -$100,000.00 .with them that their state­ ments are absolutely false. They have not accepted our wager and they will not. We will gladly make a present of $25.000.00 to any roaster or importer of old-fashioned coffee who will accept that wager. Free Inspection of our factories and methods is made by thousands Of peo­ ple each month and the coffee import­ ers themselves are cordially invited. Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are abso­ lutely pure and made exactly as stated. The formula of Postum and the an­ alysis made by one of the foremost chemists of Boston has been printed on every package for many years and is absolutely accurate. Now as to the food value of Postum. It contains the parts of the wheat ber­ ry which carry the elemental salts, such as lime, iron, potash, silica, etc., etc., used by the life forces to rebuild the cellular tissue, and this Is particu­ larly true of the phosphate of potash, also found in Graps-Nuts, which com­ bines in the human body with albu­ men and this combination, together with water, rebuilds the worn-out gray matter in the delicate nerve centers all over the body and throughout the brain and solar plexus. Ordinary coffee stimulates in an un­ natural way, but with many people It slowly and 6urely destroys and does not rebuild this gray substance so vitally important to the well being of every human being. These are eternal facts, proven, well authenticated and known to every properly educated physician, chemist Ml {ood expert. Please remember we never say or dinary coffee hurts everyone. Some people use it regularly and seem strong enough to withstand its attacks, but there is misery and dis­ ease in store for the man or woman who persists in its use when nature protests, by heart weakness, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney disease, weak eyes or general nervous prostra­ tion. The remedy is obvious. The drug caffeine, contained in all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued absolute­ ly or thjj disease will continue in spite of any medicine and will grow worse. It is easy to leave off the old-fash­ ioned coffee by adopting Postum Fcod Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing hot breakfast or dinner beverage that has the deep seal brown color, chang­ ing to a rich golden brown when good cream Is added. When boiled long enough (15 minutes) the flavor is not that of rank Rio coffee but very like the milder, smooth and high-^rade Java, but entirely lacking the drug effect of ordinary coffee. Anyone suffering from disorders set up by coffee drinking (and there is an extensive variety) can absolutely de­ pend upon some measure of relief by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. If the disease has not become too strongly rboted, one can with good rea­ son expect it to disappear entirely in a reasonable time after the active cause of the trouble is removed and the cellulaiNtissue has time to natural­ ly rebuild with the elements furnished by Postum and good food. It's only just plain old common sense. Now, with the exact facts before the reader, he or she can decide the wise course, looking to health and the power to do things. If you have any doubt as to the cause of any ache or ail you may have remember the far-reaching telegram? of a hurt nervous system travel from heel to head, and it may be well worth your while to make the experiment of leaving off coffee entirely for ten days and using Postum in its place. You will probably gather some good solid facts, worth more than a gold thine, for health can make gold and sickness lose It. Besides there's all the fun, for It's like a continuous la- tes&al frolic to be perfectly There's a reason for POSTUM §1IT isssisis The Growing of Missouri Corn* How to grow Missouri corn was the subject of a day's discussion at the Farmers' convention in Columbia, Mo., recently. H. J. Waters, dean of the Agricultural College, opened the, dis­ cussion. Keep plant food on the farm, he urged. Move mangers, stop the prodigious waate, adopt systematic rotation. An elastic rotation is best, but systematic, rut-like rotation is bet­ ter than the present Missouri plan of no rotation. At least one year in four use clover, and as little timothy as possible. Barnyard manure is the best fertilizer. Commercial fertilizers can only be used with profit in Mis­ souri upon thin or wornout land, not upon black prairie land. The fertiliz­ ers should have liberal quantity of potash and cheap phosphorus. Little difference has been shown by experi­ ments between spring and fall plow­ ing. Much unnecessary work Is done in husking corn. The thickness of planting should vary with the richness of land. Suckers depend on various conditions. Experiments have shown for every 100 plants, 4 stalks in a bill, 8 suckers; 3 in a hill, 25 suckers; 2 in a hill, 76 suckers, and 1 in a hill, 195 suckers. Some varieties of corn have more suckers than others. Dent corn has the least. Tillage is for two purposes; First, to keep down weeds; second, to conserve moisture. If land is properly prepared there is no need to stir the soil for root-growth. Shal­ low tillage does not kill the weeds. Dr. Waters' address brought out con­ siderable discussion. Mr. Laughlin thought the man a criminal who de­ stroyed plant food on his farm. Jo­ seph E. Wing of Ohio said the manure spreader was a more useful vehicle on the farm than the carriage. "If no blackbirds follow along the furrow I know something's wrong. If my boy can not get enough fishing worms in a half day to go fishing I know more humus is needed in the land." George H. Sly of Rockport had for his subject "How Can the Farmer Se­ cure Good Seed?" Mr. Sly emphasized the importance of good seed as a fac­ tor for increasing the corn yield. There are two ways, he said, of secur­ ing good seed. One is by maintaining a seed plot and the other is by select­ ing eight or ten ears of corn, to be planted in a 6quare field, preferably on the east or southeast side. If you haven't good seed, said Mr. Sly, go to your neighbor and get some. Let new varieties alone. "The problem will be solved," he concluded, "by the estab­ lishment of corn breeding farms throughout the state." Experience In Ttfreshlng. My experience In threshing has not been varied. It has been the same thing over and. over again and that has been very expensive to the farmer? In this part of the state, In as much as the machines do not save the grain. I have lived In this ring seven years. We have had five different machines In that time and there has been no choice. We have employed two-men machines and they did no better work than the old hand feed which we used two years. The machines thresh the g^aln all right, but do not separate it from the straw, and enough oats go into the straw stack to doubly pay the threshing bill. Such work does not pay very well. Some of the farmers say the oats are in the stack, they are light, and so forth, but I would rather have them all taken out of the straw. Then I can do as 1 choose with them. I would prefer feeding them rather than have them wasted in the straw and rot in the chaff, which they gen­ erally do. All the inventors In the country are wracking their brains to get a three- kernel drop to a planter. There are but very few threshing machines ex hlbited at fairs, and where there are they attract very little attention, for the fact that they fall to present the vital point to the farmers, that of saving or separating the grain from the straw. Perhaps there are ma­ chines that will do that. Then that same machine will blow lots of the oats into the stack. Any old cylinder and concave will do the shelling all right, but it Is the taking care of the oats and getting them out of the separ­ ator before the fan blows them Into the stack to be wasted. I would like to hear from others on this subject.-- J. C. Mahoney, Kane Co., I1L A Good-Sized Manure Spreader. After five years' experience with a manure spreader I think this machine one of the most profitable machines on the farm. Within a radius of five miles of me there are ten or twelve machines and they are increasing in number here every year. One man with a spreader can haul out more manure and spread it better than two men with a wagon can after following the old style of spreading manure. The manure that works best is, of course, rotted manure, but it is a good plan to mix the different kinds of manure, as it spreads more easily and better both for the team and man. A considerable amount of litter in ma­ nure does not increase the difficulty of handling it unless the manure has been heated up or burned up largely. Then unless it is well shaken it will come off in flakes once in a while, but will not make much trouble if properly handled. The weight of my machine is about 1,700 pounds. I use two horses and would not think of getting a smaller machine, nor would I recommend any. man to get a small one. A. R. Williams. Washington County, N. Y. s Fecundity of 8wiae. The fecundity of swine is one of the principal factors that makes them valuable as meat producing animals. The fact that a healthy sow will produce from six to twelve pigs at one farrowing makes her one of the chief money-makers of the farm. The other fact that she will bear two litters a year if allowed to do so makes her still more valua­ ble, from the standpoint of possiblll- H CURE FOR OEBIUNF* Or. Williams' Pink Pills A Reliable Remedy for the Weak, Ailing and Bloodless. When the body is weak and the blood thin it is sometimes difficult to find the sause unless a wasting illness has pre­ ceded, or the sufferer happens to be a girl on the verge of womanhood. Obscure influences, something un- healthful in one's surroundings or work, may lead to a slow impoverishment of the blood and au enfeeblemeufc of the whole body. When a serious stage has been reached there seems to be nothing that will account for it. Mr- O. E. Legg, of Tipton, W. Va., has found a successful method of treat­ ing weakness and • bloodlessness. He Bays: •• I used l>r. Williams' Pink Pills for weakness caused by a lingering malarial fever that began in the spring of 1896. The worst effects of this were indiges­ tion and a bad state of my blood. I was anaemic, as the doctors say. People generally would. say that I didn't have blood enongh, or that I didn't have the right kind of blood ; mine was too thin. My kidneys and liver were out of order. I was badly annoyed by sour risings from my stomach. There was a good deal of pain, too, in my back and under my right shoulder blade." •• How long did these troubles last?** "For over two years. For four months of that time I was under the care of a physician, but his medicine did me uo good. JMeanwhile I learned of the cures that had been wrought by Dr. Williams'Pink Pills." ; ••You owe your cure to these pills ?'* " I certainly do, and I also know that they are helping others to whom I have recommended them. They have real merit aud I know of jaothing that would take their place." For f urther information and'valuable booklet address the Dr. Williams Medi­ cine Oo., Schenectady, N. Y.
