Cured .sHer Rheumatism, peep Valley, Pfu, Oct. 2d.--(Spe­ cial.)--There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheuma­ tism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other children do. Mr. Whipkey says: "I $m indeed thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; they saved her froin being a cripple perhaps for life." Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood and conse­ quently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kid­ ney Pills make the Kidneys right Wise Persian Philosopher.

LOSS OF APPETITE Cold Sweats, Twitching Nerves Mi Weakness Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Nature punishes every infraction of her laws, and careless habits easily lead to the condition described by Mr. Wil­ liam Browne, of No. 1019 Liucolu street, St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Browne is aii ex­ pert tiuner in the employ of the National Biscuit Co. He gives the foilowiug ac­ count of a trying experience: "In the spring of 1902," he says, "while I was regularly working at my trade, I grew pomewhat careless in my habits of eating and driuking, and finally found that my appetite was fickle, a bad taste lingered in my mouth, my nerves, twitched and were beyond my control, my kidneys were out of order and cold sweats would break out over my body at odd times. Perhaps, while I stood talk­ ing with some one, this trembling of the limbs, and profuse sweating, and a severe chill would Beize me. I became alarmed at my condition and, having read an endorsement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I got a box and began to use them. They helped me at once. After I had used one box the twitching of the nerves, the trouble with the stomach and the cold sweats stopped and have not reappeared, and my appetite is good. I have told all my friends that Dr. Wil­ liams' Pink Pills cured me and I recom­ mend them to everybody." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mr. Browne because nothing can strengthen the nerves except good rich, red blood-- and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They don't act on the bowels. They don't bother with mere symptoms. They drive from the blood the cause of anaemia, indigestion, ner­ vous disorders, general weakness and the troubles of growing girls and women. The pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or harmful drugs. Sold by all druggists, or by th<i Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

G'O&E F*)CE CO- AM* <%., 4CM0S, OICOlUC - •r 1 mmm he Round-Headed Apple Tree Borer. The scientific name of this Insect is Saperda Canida. The first mention we have of it was by Thomas Say in 1824. It is altogether probable, how­ ever, that it was common in the apple orchards in America from the first advent of Europeans that planted fruit trees. So far as is known, it is a native of America. Without doubt its chief stronghold was the wild crab- apple trees, which are everywhere abundant in this country, and it is possible, also, that it attacked and lived on other members of the Rosa- ceae family. The borer itself, that" is, the slug, is about one inch in length and is a yellowish white. St has no feet. The head is small and brown in color and the jaws are black. The round-headed borer is one of the most destructive of the borers. Trees are very seriously injured by it, and frequently many are killed outright, some trees attacked by the round- headed borer will blossom In the spring, hut fail to put forth leaves, their supply of sap having been ex­ hausted through the holes made by the borers. Here and there trees are found entirely girdled by the borers., In such a case the tree is doomed. There is' no question that any tree where even one borer resides is great­ ly injured by this unwelcome guest. But when a dozen are found in a single tree, it may well be concluded that its usefulness is past The chief thing is to exclude the borer from the trees. Wherever there has been trouble from them the trees, should be wrapped with some kind of material that will entirely exclude the borers. Some orchardists use wrapping paper, some manila paper, some tar paper or fine wire screen. This, If properly applied, will prevent the borers from attacking the tree. The efficacy of these wrapping materials depends en­ tirely upon the skill and care with which they are put on. It is of no use to try to do a poor job in applying these protectors, for in that case la­ bor and expense are thrown away. The eggs are not deposited above two feet and a half from the ground. Therefore, if the wrapping material covers the tree for the lower two feet of the trunk. It will be effective, pro­ vided it passes slightly under the soil at the bottom. Perhaps tarred paper or fine wire netting is the best, as this will not only exclude the bor­ ers, but will also prevent the ravages of mice, rabbits, and other small gnawing animals^ The material used in fastening these wrappers should be such as will break upon the grow­ ing of the tree. The use of strong wire, therefore, is excluded, as this would cut into the tree and have the effect of girdling it. It is well to examine the trees during the late summer and early fall months for eggs and young grubs, which can<%he readily detected and destroyed with a knife. A DESPAIRING WOMAN. Color of Clover Seed. Those who have examined clover seed must have noticed that there are three general kinds into which the colors may be divided. There is the yellow seed, the variegated seed and the brown seed. The brown seeds are now known to be of low germinative capacity, and their peculiar color- is given by the prolonged action of rain «n the seeds. This has been estab­ lished by taking yellow seeds and variegated seeds and wetting and dry­ ing them for a considerable time. Some agriculturists tested the germ­ inative power oi average lots of clover seed imported from Russia and also some purchased in the United States In the Russian seed the germinations were: variegated seed, 87 per cent; .yellow seed, 85.6 per cent; brown seed, 18.8 per cent. In the American seed, the germinations were: varie­ gated, 94.7 per cent; yellow, 94.2 per cent; brown, 13 per cent It will thus be seen that the value of the brown seed was very slight Experiments in the actual use of this seed seemed to show that the yellbw seed pro­ duces a slightly larger yield of hay. The seeds in the Russian clover were carefully separated and the propor­ tions of each color were found to be as follows: variegated, 35.89 per cent; yellow, 18.77 per cent; brown. 15.91 per cent; intermediate, 26.84 per cent; weed seed, 1.35 per cent; dirt, 1.25 per cent In the American seed the corresponding figures were: varie­ gated, 32.9 per cent; yellow, 20.3 per cent; brown, 19.07 per cent; inter­ mediate, 20.47 per cent; weed seed, 3.98 per cent; dirt, 3.98 per cent. It will thus be seen that in both kinds the per cent of fairly good germinable seed was only a little above 52 per cent. Weak, Nervous and Wretched ftom Wasting Kidney Troubles. Mrs. Henry A. Reamer, Main and Garst sts.. South Bend, Ind,, says: "When I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I was so weak I could hardly.drag jnyself across the room. I was w r e t c h e d a n d nervous, and ha<f backache, b e a r- i n g - d o w n p a i n , headache, dizzi­ ness and weak eyes. Dropsy set In and bloating of the chest choked me and threatened the heart. I had little hope, but to my untold surprise, Doan's Kidney Pills brought me relief and saved my life. I shall never for­ get it." Sold by dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. A Kissing Party. One doesn't kiss at a kissing party.

Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep--Spent $100 on Doctors--Baby Grew Worse--Cured by Cuticura . for $5. "A seal* f&rmed on my baby*& face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by bolls, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body.

Doctors and medicines had cost over .1100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, Wis."

We have always urged farmers to raise enough small fruit for their fam- ily use. The proportion of farmers that raise enough fruit for their fam­ ilies is increasing from year to year, but yet there are many farmers that do not raise any kind of small fruit. Their stock argument is that It is cheaper to buy the fruit than to raise it That may be so in some cases, but even if it were so in all cases, the fact remains that most farmers do not buy fruit for their families; and If they do not raise it, their families do not get It Every man can afford to raise all the fruit his family can uss in a year, and If his fruit raising opera- tions are properly conducted, they will require but little time throughout the year.--Farmers' Review.

The Kind You Bare Always Bought Making an Audience Laugh. I am glad there is no. recipe for mak­ ing an audience laugh. We should thank heaven that it Is so. There are enough people trying it now, but think of the hordes that would des­ cend on thef unsuspecting public if some one were able to tell 'how* in a few comprehensible lines. Either one is born with the power to make others laugh or he is not; there is no learning how unless you have the gtft. Some one has said that to make au­ diences really laugh you must feel the laugh yourself--must he moved by the humor of the lines or of the situation. To my mind that is not so. Try saying the same line and making the same gesture at exactly the same place every night for six months and see just how much you are moved by the humor. It is easier, far easier, to be moved by a pathetic situation each night than it Is to feel like laugh­ ing. An American audience naturally likes the American type of humor-- where little is said and a great deal is left to the imagination. So, to my mind, it is best that the lines you speak shall be really humorous, in that they Buggest some exceedingly funny situation or thought But--and here Is the secret--before you speak them you must really understand them and know what line of thought causes them to be spoken. If you can do this you can communicate their humor.--David Warfleld In Soooms Magazine. Faithful Fellow. like a great many more people, Mr. Dogberry was feeling the disastrous result of slackness in trade, and it was plain that the staff would have to be cut down. He did not like parting with Tim Dooley, for the man had been with him for a great number of years; yet he was the one who could best be spared, and, indeed, for some time his situation had been little less than a sinecure. As gently as he could he broke the news to Tim, and the old man received it as one who could hardly believe that he heard aright. Then he recovered himself, and! in the manner'of the dear old servant of melodrama, who, when things are at their worst, comes to the rescue with1 the proceeds of years of faithful steal­ ing his master's wine and cigars, he burst out: "Mr. Dogberry, sure I worked for ye when ye had' work, and, begorra, it's meself that will work for ye now ye've none!"--London Answers. : Interesting, to Students.

"The leading proprietary medicines that have stood the test of time are of known therapeutic value," says a medical authority. "They are prepar­ ed in laboratories of the highest grade, under the care of skilled phar­ macists, and they are made from ap­ proved formulas which, in many in­ stances, have been the especial pride and specific of some successful physi­ cian. They have been tried in the crucible of public opinion and they have been found satisfactory by the people, for otherwise the people would discontinue using them." Every housekeeper jnould know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all o^ier Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack­ ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance 8tarch is free from all injurious chem­ icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before be puts in Defiance. He knows, that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let­ ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De­ fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick­ ing. Defiance never sticks. Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don't ~ keep Defiance Starch. This is because the> have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 os in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains If os. for the same money. Do you want 1C os. instead of IS os. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. Duke of Argyll. The Duke of Argyll was sixty years of age recently.

A Young Lady from New Jersey Put Her Wfts to Work. "Coffee gave me terrible spells of indigestion which, coming on every week or so, made my life wretched until some one told me that the coffee I drank was to blame. That seemed nonsense, but I noticed these attacks used to come on shortly after eating and were accompanied by such ex­ cruciating pains in the pit of the stomach that I could only find re­ lief by loosening my clothing and lying, down. "If circumstances made it Impos­ sible for me to lie down I spent hours In great misery. "I refused to really believe It was the coffee -until finally I thought a trial would at least do no harm, so I quit coffee in 1901 and began on Pos- tum. My troubles left entirely and convinced me of the cause. "Postum brought no discomfoit, nor did indigestion follow its use. I have had no return of the trouble since I began to drink Postum.

How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or per­ form her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female or­ ganism.

Many don't know it, and a good many who do»know it negleet it until it is too late. Some got, so bad they think . it is incurable, and then they resort to the physic or pill habit, where the real trouble begins. You and I know that Pills and Phj sic make us worse, we become a slave to them, and finally they lose their power and paralysis of the intestines occurs, and then slow death. Now Constipation and Stomach Troubl. are Ju.t as curable as any other disease; we nave proved this fully by curing over lO.OOO the last two years. Many of these were the most chronic, ssrious, compli­ cated kind in which all other remedies and doctors had failed and hope dispalred of. but our treatment cured them quickly and to stay cured. Mr. Thompson, of Peoria, who had suf­ fered all his life and had given up hope, was cured by 24 bottles. Dr. Dill, of St. Louis, whosa health had been broken down, claims that several bottles cured him, that it is a splendid medicine for Stomach and Bowels, and the best general tonic ho ever saw. Dr. Hedrick, of Kansas City, who had constipation so badly that he verged upon nervous collapse, says to bis great surprise after trying everything else was cured by Mull's Grape Tonic, he says it is the best thing for Stomach and Bowels and kindred ills, that has come to his attention in his professional career. Mrs. Alcoba, of Chicago, who was a con­ firmed invalid for years, after taking a thorough course of Mull's Grape Tonic says she was able to leave her bed after the third bottle, and is now enjoying good health. She had tried everything that came to her notice. Mr. Crow, of St. Louis, had dyspepsia, liver and bowel trou­ ble foij 35 years, wliich he contracted dur­ ing the Civil War. He said he never could get anything that even afforded him relief, but that a short treatment of Mull's Grape Tonic completely cured him. He recom­ mended it to old soldiers so many of whom suffer with the same complaint. Mr. McCurdy, of Troy. Ohio, was one of the greatest" sufferers that ever came to our attention. There apparently wasn't an organ of his body free from disease: Liver Trouble, Stomach and Kidney Trouble, terrible piles that kept him in agony. Bowels would not act for days, heart actio* bad, emaciated, run down and completely discouraged. He resorted to every means, doctors, remedies, baths, etc., > no avail. He says: "Soon after I started il Mull's Grape Tonic my bowels began to act i regularly, the pain left me, and my general health built up rapidly.
