Under date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the following letter: "My wife has been a sufferer from a complication of diseases for the past twenty-five years. Her ease has baffled the skill of some of the most noted phy­ sicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years' standing. She was also passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman--change of life. "In June, 1895,1 wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it com­ pletely cured her. "About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of twenty-five years' standing. At times I was alnpost past going. / commenced to use Peruna according to your instructions mad continued its OW tor about a year, and ii ham com» ptttely cured me."--JohnO. Atkinson. In a letter dated January 1,1900, Mr. Atkinson says, after five years' experi­ ence with Peruna, «•/ will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. I am still cured oi catarrh."--John O. Atkinson, Inde­ pendence, Mo., Box 272. Mrs. Alia Schwandt, Sanborn, Minn., writes: • I have been troubled with rheuma­ tism and catarrh for twenty-five years. Could not sleep day or night. After having used Peruna / can aieep and nothing bothers me now. If I ever am affected with any kind of sickness, Peruna will be the medicine I shall use. My son was cured of catarrh of the larynx by Peruna."--Mrs. Alia Schwandt. When old age comes, catarrhal dis­ eases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. Address Dr. S. 15.

Could you sell out for from $75 to $150 per acre? If you can, did it ever occur to you that your farm will buy another of from ten to thirty times its size? Or it will buy you a good sized one in a new country and permit you to put into bank enough money to keep you the balance of your life. This is a proposition that is.worth thinking over; it has has been tried by many farmers of the Mississippi valley; it has raised many a mortgage; it has started many a young man out in life as the owner of a fine farm. And it will do so again. This is a live question. Think it over.

GETS ALL BOOKS AND RECORDS Enters Upon the Fight for* Its Cor­ porate Existence by Securing Pos­ session of Evidence Upon Which Charges Are Based. Topeka, Kan., dispatch: The Stand­ ard Oil company has begun what Is believed to be a movement to buy up every independent property in the Kansas field and at the same time ac­ quire possession of any damaging evi­ dence that might' 6e used against it in the coming investigation. Mayor E. N. Bowen of Independ­ ence, headquarters for the oil trust in Kansas, said that the Standard had acquired ownership of the Consol­ idated Oil and Gas company and the interstate Oil and Gas company of In­ dependence. He said it is reported the Standard has bought from L N. Knapp, th® biggest producer in ,tbe state, every bit of his oil, gas and tank line property, together with all of his books and records. Fight for Corporate Life. [ This is taken to nhean that the Standard has bid defiance to the gov­ ernment and the state, and that from now on it will be open war--a fight for life for the Standard. The Interstate and the Consolidated companies are the heaviest producers of oil in the Independence field, and, according to Mayor Bowen, their con­ trol passed into the hands of the Standard last Wednesday. Knapp was owner of the tank line which was driven out of business when the Standard's pipe line was completed last August. It was upon the figures shown in his books that the oil pro­ ducers based their charges of con­ spiracy between the railroads and'the Standard. With these books in Stand­ ard hands the charges would fail, so far as ' that particular case is con­ cerned. Probe Michigan Salt Concern. Having succeeded in their attempt tc^ establish a state oil refinery and precipitate a struggle with the Stan­ dard Oil Company, the "trust busters" in the Kansas legislature have turned their attention to the so-calfed "salt trust." These belligerents introduced into the house a resolution providing for the appointment of a commission to investigate the Michigan salt cor­ poration which, it is alleged, controls the Kansas output. It is charged that the concern has advanced the' price of salt throughout the West. File More Charges. The Independent oil men made an­ other move in their fight, which in volves the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad. W. E. Connelly Chanute, for the advisory board of the Kansas Oil Producers' Associa tion, wired Congressman Campbell at Washington charges against this rail road ideptioal with those filed against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Collusion between the railroad com pany and Standard Oil in the matter of rates is alleged. The Kansas senate passed a bill providing that a state railroad board shall make changes in freight rates upon due complaint.

Japanese Surgeons Amputate Only in Severe Cases^ During the present war the Japan1 ese have followed the new rule gen­ erally of not amputating shattered limbs on the fields of battle, but of putting a plaster of paris dressing on them. So far, out of 600 wounded Russians, only one arm has been am­ putated, and in that case the arm had to be' removed in consequence of trouble supervening. In all cases the bones have healed well. It is clear that the gunshot wounds from the modern infantry rifle are less danger­ ous to life than they were in former days. Wounds received in ethe lungs or stomach heal often without any surgical treatment or operation. All pieces of shot or garments taken from wounded men are sept to Tokio, where they are being preserved, as are also all other "preparations" re­ sulting from the surgical treatment of the wounded.

Agricultural Editors wrote about it, Agr. College Professors lectured about it, Agr. Institute Orators talked about it, while in the farm home by the quiet fire­ side, in the corner grocery, in the village post-office, at the creamery, at the depot, in fact wherever farmers gathered, Salter's Billion Dollar Grass, that marvelous grass, good for 5 to 14 tons hay per acre ana lots of pasture besides, is always a- theme worthy of the farmer's voice. Then comes Bromus Inerinis, than which there is no better grass or better perma­ nent hay producer on earth. Grows wher­ ever soil is found. Then the farmer talks about Salzer's Teosinte, which produces 100 stocks from one kernel of seed, 11 ft. high, in 100 days, rich in nutrition and greedily eaten by cattle, hogs, etc., and is good for 80 tons of green food per acre. Victoria Rape, the luxuriant food for hogs and sheep, which can be grown at 25c a ton, and Speltz at 20c a bu., both great food for sheep, hogs and cattle, also come in for their share in the discussion.

L.J Every housekeeper tfftould know that if they will bw» IVfl 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 other Cold Water Starches are put up In %-pound pack­ ages, and the price is the same, l'J cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem­ icals. If your grocer tries to aell you a 12-oz. package i* is because he a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he 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. A book that gives its readers some hours of oblivion to all else outside of its problems deserves even reckless praise, and such is the latest storysof Mrs. Rohlfs or, as she is known to the public, Anna Katharine Green. From its title to the end, The Millionaire Baby spells success--a success so gieat in truth, that the reader almost demands another chapter--in spite of the little bit of suggestion thrown In to wind up the story, which ought to satisfy all save the inordinate- glutton. It is a story that is sure to find ready commendation and many readers. (The Bobbs-Merrill Company, - Indian­ apolis.) ^ In a small volume recently from the pen of President Eliot of Harvard University, entitled "More Money for the Public Schools," he sums up in a large „way the results of public educa- tion;--its benefits and shortcomings. He suggests definite plans for produc­ ing better results, explains explicitly the best methods for improvement in our schools and urges a greatly in­ creased expenditure of funds for their maintenance.
