ABSOLUTELY NEEDLESS AGONY §M«e«l by Uterine Disorders and Cared by Lydia E. Piakbam's Vegetable Compound A great many women suffer with a 'form of indigestion or dyspepsia which . does not seem to yield to ordinary treat- incut. While the syioptoiiLB seem to be similar to those of ordinary indiges­ tion, yet the medicines universally pre­ scribed do not seem to restore the tient's normal condition. | Airs. At. JWrjght | Mrs. Finkham claims that there is ai kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, " and which, while it causes a disturb­ ance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which no* Only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects also. As proof of this theory we call at­ tention to the case of Mrs. Mafgie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound after every­ thing else had failed. She writes: " For two years I suffered with dyspepda --•which so degenerated my entire system that I was unable to attend to my daily duties. I felt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my Stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to help me. I was mi- vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial, and was happily surprised to find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in a few days I began.to enjoy and properly digest my food. My recovery was rapid, ana in five weeks I was a well woman. I have rec­ ommended it to many suffering women." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unquali­ fied endorsement,or has such a record of eores of female troubles, as has Lydia . EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

A, UNIVERSE ALL AUVE.~ * • ' , Luther Burbank's Beliefs All Against Materialism. I asked Mr. Burbank this question: "Has anything developed in your life work, and in your study of the great elemental forms of nature, to imperil true faith or render dead a belief in God or the immortality of the soul?" He answered: "My theory of the laws and underlying principles of plant creation is, in many respects, diamet­ rically opposed to the beliefs of the materials. I am a sincere believer in a higher power than that cf man. All my investigations have led me away from the idea of a dead, material uni­ verse, tossed about by various forces, to that of a universe which is abso­ lutely all force, life, soul, thought, or whatever name we may choose to call it. Every atom, molecule, plant, ani­ mal, or planet is only an aggregation of organized unit forces held in place by stronger forces, thus holding them for a time latent, though teeming with inconceivable power. All life on our planet is,;'so to speak, Just on the outer fringe of this infinite ocean of force. The universe is not half dead, but all alive.--^William S. Harwood, in Century. t "" For Growing Girl*. West Pembroke, Me., April 24.-- Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place, says that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes her recommendation by the following experience: "My daughter was thirteen years old last November and it is now two years since she was first taken with Crazy Spells that would last a week and would then pass off. In a month she would have the spells again. At these times she would eat very little and was very yellow; even the whites of her eyes would be yellow. "The doctors gave us no encourage­ ment, they all said they could not help her." After taking one box of Dodd'B Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad spell. Of course, we continued the treatment until she had used in all about a dozen boxes, and we still give them to her occasionally, when she is not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the^/best medicine for growing $rls." Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may save their daughters much pain and sickness and ensure a healthy, happy future for them. Some mien, according to a woman, writer, can be conquered with tears, while it is necessary to use a hatpin on others. When You Buy Starch bay Defiance and get the best, 1# oa» tor 10 cents.

Busybodies who see in success only falsity, who, without making an effort to inform themselves, blatantly cry offense against honesty and truth--seem to forget that a slur against Dr. Pierce's well-known non-alcoholic family remedies is a slur against the intelligence of thousands of clear-thinking American women who know they have been helped and cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is not a "patent medicine "in the true meaning of the worji--it is simply the favorite remedy which Dr. Pierce used in an extended practice for the treatment of the diseases of women. A name for honesty and square dealing is better than great riches. Fraud is a bubble that soon bursts. Dr. R. V. Pierce has always been known to apeak the truth--liis famous medicines are founded on the rock of public approval and have thousands of truthful testimonials as to their ability to cure diseases for which they are recommended. No man ever lost a prospective customer through telling the truth. In the long run Dr. Pierce believea the truth will prevail and he is therefore not afrai&to make public his formula. Truth and Influence. True Speaking. Valuable Trade Secrets. The ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is here given to the public. He vnKlic»tes"TlTe excel­ lence and harmless character of his "Prescription" by letting the sick and ailing women know just what they are taking when they use this reliable tonic and nervine for the diseasea and illnesses peculiarly feminine.

IMPORTANT FACTS FOR COW OWNERS The mechanical Cream Separator has become a vital feature of every home dairy just as of every butter factory. Its use means much more and much better cream and butter, as well as saving of water, ice, time and room. The difference in results is not small but big. Few cows now pay without a separator. Dairying is the most profit­ able kind of farming with one. 98# of the creamery butter of the world is now made with De Laval machines, and there are over 600,000 farm users besides. Send for catalogue and name of nearest local agent. THE DE LAVAL SEPARATOR CO. mmm Elevated Wagon Platform. . In spraying it is often impossible^to reach the upper foliage of the tree. This is particularly in evidence with large trees, and trouble comes even with the medium sized ones. Spray­ ing to be effective must necessarily cover every leaf and branch of the tree treated. To enable the men to get the spray over all the tree an ele­ vated spraying outfit was built, a dia­ gram of which Is shown in the accom­ panying cut. \ The bed pieces "a" should be of the best selected timber oak or ash, two inches thick by ten or twelve inches wide and either sixteen or eighteen feet long. The longer the better, ex­ cept for short turning, as length pre­ vents lifting up front when elevated platform is only half up and one or more men are working in the "cage." The end pieces are of the same ̂ ma­ terial, long enough to fit in between side pieces so that frame is proper width for wagon standards. It is well to chain the frame to rear bolster. The upright pieces, "c," are of 2x4-Inch hardwood, 14 feet long, fastened by % or %-inch bolts to the bed pieces as shown at "I," and by half-Inch bolts to the bottom or floor frame of the elevated platform. These pieces "b" are of 2x4-inch stuff, or heavier, and the corner posts of 2x2-inch, and the railings of lx2-lnch stuff. The adjustment is arranged for by the two pieces, "d," bolted to the bed frame, as are "c," "c," and extending to the forward part of the elevated platform. One-half inch holes, "f," are bored at convenient intervals In "d" to allow a graded adjustment by bolting to "c," as shown at "e." A rod run through from side to side at the point of adjustment, "e," has proven more serviceable than single bolts on each side, making the Jrame steadier. Cross pieces may be nailed on the front of forward uprights for man to mount platform. The barrel and pump are placed on the front end of the wagon platform. Any sort of boards or planks may be provided for the floo,r. The spraying hose passes from the barrel to the elevated plat­ form where it is handled by one or more men. An awning or other ar­ rangement may be placed over the man or men working the pump to pre­ vent them from being continually soaked with the dripping or falling spray. This platform is found useful, as well, in whitewashing the dairy and other buildings, inside and out, permitting an adjustment, as it does, of from^ fourteen feet high 10 the height of the wagon bolster.--R. M. Winans, in Farmers' Review. RaMlolph A Canal Stg. CHICAGO 7* CortlaiMlt Stratf NEW YORK Home Market for Fruit. The days of spring are lengthening and we will soon be putting different kinds of fruit on the market. I wish to say a few words to readers of the Farmers' Review relative to the sell­ ing of fruit. I have found that the most satisfactory way to pack fruit is to have it uniform throughout. This is a source of satisfaction to the seller as well as to the buyer. I always try to watch my fruit and have it packed at the time it is just right for eating. As I am selling fruit in a small way, it is very easy to do this. Of course if I were shipping my fruit it would be impossible. Then the fruit, whether strawberries or other kinds, would have to be picked while partly green. I find it very easy to hold a market against any outside fruit, as the lat­ ter has to be shipped in from a dis­ tance and thus always lacks the flavor of fruit ripened while still in contact with the vine or twig on which it grew. I think the surest way of mak­ ing money out of fruit is to endeavor to compete with the shlpped-ln fruit I can always get a considerable mar­ gin over that kind of fruit. This may not seem much of a matter, but it is really a great one. I get, say, five cents for a box of strawberries when the out-of-town berries are bringing but four. That is an advance of 25 per cent, and in the course of a sea­ son's sellings it becomes a big Item. Besides, it is all profit I sort the fruit so that all of about the same size is In the same box or package. The smallest fruit is used for canning or disposed of in soma •way that will not injure the general market. No unsound fruit is ever al­ lowed to get into the packages. Most of my selling is done through the local grocers. It does not pay me to try to carry on a retail business over their heads, and I treat all alike. They have to live.--Albert Bates, DuPage County, 111., in Farmers' Review. CURE YOUR KIDNEYS. Soilrng System. There are any number of farms in America where the soiling system Is the best to follow, and those farms are on high-priced lands. There are more farms where it still pays better to pasture than to cut, feed and carry to the cows in summer time, because the land is still low in price in most sections of the country. As the land increases in value the practice of soil­ ing must increase. • System on the Dairy Farm. ' Following a system is necessary on the dairy farm. One of our best creamery men says that he tries to follow exactly the same procedure every day, as by so doing time can be saved. There is no loss in debat­ ing if this or that shall be done first Besides, the cows get used to a cer­ tain way of doing things and seem to give more milk when there is no change in the method* o£^artng for and feeding them.

Under the Elkins law, any railroad company which pays rebates in any form, or any shipper who accepts them, is liable to a fine of from $1,000 to $20,000, upon conviction. It also prohibits the carrying of freight at less than the published tariffs. The Interstate Commerce Commission is empowered, to detect and prosecute violators of this statute. President Knapp of the Commission states that since this law was passed, rebate pay­ ing "has been as rare as forgery. WORTHY OF RUFUS CHOATE.

Senator Blcon's Sesquipedal ity Never Excelled in Congressional History. To Senator Bacon of Georgia is ascribed the credit of evolving the most marvelous sentence ever emitted in debate in the Senate. It was when the agricultural bill was up. Bacon reeled this ^combination of words off when discussing the syrup question* It is asserted that no man can parse the sentence and that only Bacon could have emitted it without falling by the wayside. Read: "The Senator will probably remem-,' ber that last year when this matter was before the Senate we had some little colloquy about it-and I tried to explain to the Senate that the purpose of this appropriation was to endeavor by experiments on the part of the gov­ ernment to determine upon a process which, when generally used, would re­ sult in such a uniformity of produc­ tion as would enable the article to be­ come an article of general merchan­ dise, or, rather, generally marketable, explaining, as I did, all the time, that .while this syrup has been made for a century all through that part of the country, and successfully, it wa? made simply by farmers for their own use and for a little local consumption, So that almost as many different proc esses were used and as many differ­ ent producers; that in consequence when an article of the , kind was put upon the market nobody knew what that particular article was without sampling it, and it was the design of the department to establish a plant by which a regular standard process should be inaugurated and so general­ ly become known throughout the coun­ try that it would be generally adopted and the product would be of a uniform character." Piatt as an "Easy Boss." A disjpute has arisen as to the origin of the title "Easy Boss" applied to Senator Piatt. The phrase was origin­ ated by Senator Piatt and was first published in the New York Evening Sun in January, 1895. Mayor Strong had been in the office a few days and had refused to take orders from Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst. The doctor gave out a long statement, in which he said that "Boss Piatt" was running the city government. When asked by a reporter to reply to the Parkhurst statement Senator Piatt chuckled and said: "I am an.easy boss if I am boss. I do. not say to this man, 'You must come,' or to that man, "You shall go."' The interview with the senator was published under this headline: "I'm an Easy Boss, says Piatt." That originated the title of Easy Boss. TORTURING HUMOUR. Body a Mass of Sores--Treated by Three Doctors but Grew Worse --Cured by Cuticura for 75c.
