So says Mrs. Josie Irwin, of 325 So. College St., Nashville, Tenn., of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Never in the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for female diseases equalled that at- tained by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never during the lifetime of this wonderful medicine has the demand for it been 80 great as it is to-day. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and throughout the length and breadth of this great continent come the glad tidings of woman’s sufferings relieved by it, and thousands upon thousands tf letters are pouring in from grateful women saying that it will and posi- tively does cure the worst forms of female complaints. Mrs. Pinkham invites all wo- men who are puzzled about theirhealth to write her at Lynn, Mass., for advice. Such corre- #pondence is seen by women only, and no charge is made. AT A CRITICAL MOMENT. Of a Little Town that Had Purchased Proper Fire Equipment. At last the little town nad purchased for-itself proper fire equipment. The inhabitants were immensely proud ot their éngine and apparatus. Volun- teers offered their services and were drilled accordingly. One night a fire broke out. The force assembled hurriedly—so hurried- ly that when they arrived only one lantern could be found. Smoke was pouring from the building, but no flame appeared and the night was very dark. Finally a tongue of flame shot out of one corner of the building and the crowd cheered as the man at the noz- zle directed a stream of water toward it. At this crisis the excited captain, realizing the emergency, shouted: “Be careful what you’re doing, man! Keep the water off that blaze! Don’t you see that’s the only light we have to put out the fire by ?”—Cassell’s Jour- nal. Barriers and Progress. “Like a boat on a river,” says Em- erson, “every boy runs against obstruc- tions on every side but one. On that side all obstructions are taken away, and he sweeps serenely over a deepen- ing channel into an infinite sea.” When you have found your true calling, na- ture will not oppose your with karriers. There will be no strain- ing or pulling against your inclina- tions. Hardships and difficulties will be powerless yto hold you back from the success that is to be yours by divine right.—Success. . Easily Accounted For. One morning when little Willie, four years old, went out on the walk, he found it covered with sleet. About the first step he slipped and fell down and went back into the house, crying. “Why, what is the matter, Willie?” asked mamma. “Oh, I stepped on the ice and the slick side was up.”—Little Chronicle.

In accordance with a request of congress, the Secretary of Agriculture has submitted a report on the ad- visabilitr of consolidating the Weath- er Bureau and the Bureau of Crop Statistics. In part he says: “Ul have examined in detail the workings of- the Weather Bureau and of the’ Di- vision of Statistics in this department, and as a result of such examination | have the honor to report that it is in advisable to consolidate with the Weather Bureau the work of this de partment relating to the gathering and compilation of crop reports and statistics. I find no duplication of the work of the Weather Bureau in the Division of Statistics nor of that of the Division of Statistics in the Weather Bureau. The work of the Weather Bureau is wholly meteorolog- ical and that of the Division of Sta tistics wholly statistical. The Weath- er Bureau has in its employ no statis- ticians or statistical experts, and the transfer of the statistical work of the department to that bureau would in- evitably result in a subordination of that work to meteorology that would be mischievous in the extreme.” Wisconsin Horticultural Meeting.

Temperature in Cream Ripening. Oscar Erf: In the ripening of cream we prefer to separate cream very rich, about 30 to 35 per cent, and thin, down to 25 per cent, with a clean flavored starter. Theoretically we as- sume that the more of the tainted skimmilk we can get out of the cream and replace it with a starter, the bet: ter results we will have. This plan bears out well in practice. A certain temperature for ripening cream seems to have little effect on the flavor, pro- vided the cream is ripened above 60 degrees and below 90 degrees F. The ripening is, however, much hastened by high temperature. A satisfactory temperature is from 65 degrees to 70 degrees for summer, and from 70 de- grees to 80 degrees for winter. The tream should be stirred occasionally during the ripening process. This is essential for several reasons. It aerates the cream, insures evenness in ripening, prevents the surface from drying—which is one of the causes of mottled butter—and furnishes free oxygen to aerobic germs, which seem to play a part in the ripening process. F. W. Taylor Chief of Horticulture. A communication from the Louisi- ana Purchase Exposition says: An- nouncement is made by the Executive Committee of the World’s Fair to be held in St. Louis in 1904, that Mr. Frederic W. Taylor, who has been acting chief for the past year, is to be chief of the department of horti- culture dating from January 1. This in addition to the appointment made more than a year ago by which Mr. Taylor has been and is to continue chief of the department of agriculture. It seems desirable to have these two great departments handled as a har- monious whole, since the buildings to house them are located upon and oc- cupy exclusively a large and high hill in the most tommanding position on the exposition grounds. The building devoted to horticulture will cover six acres and the one devoted to agricul- ture twenty acres. Surrounding these two buildings are forty-one acres of ground, the entire area of which has been placed in the hands of the chief for planting and treatment. Discovery of an Ancient Bible. London correspondents report that a biblical manuscript, claimed to be the oldest extant, was discovered lately in Syria and is now in safe keeping at Cairo. It comprises the Pentateuch, written in Samaritan characters on gazelle parchment, and its date in the year 113 of the Moslem era, which is equivalent to the year 735 A. D. It is declared far older than any of the Hebrew biblical manuscripts in the libraries of Europe or America. It is stated that the oldest manuscript in the British museum is of the year 1339 A. D., and this has hitherto been sup- posed to be the oldest in the world. The newly discovered manuscript con- tains immediately after the Decalogue @ passage of about fifteen lines that does not exist in the authorized ver- sion. It is claimed that this passage is Ukely to clear up séveral long disputed points. Turkeys are innocent birds; almost and silly woman can stuff them. Winter Eggs. From Farmers’ Review: The most successful winter poultry house I ever saw was a big open straw cattle shed. The shed had been covered from the stacker of a thrashing machine. The roof, north side and ends were several feet of straw and chaff. Some 30 head of cattle were in the shed and yard nights and running in the corn stalks daytime; besides there was a hog trough in the yard, where the shoats got their daily slops of bran, shorts and waste vegetables. I was a boy at home with Dad and Ma at the time. My father believed in being liberal with salt, the cattle had their salt box and all the slop of the swine was seasoned with salt. I remember that an argument was up as to whether the fowls would get too much salt at the hog troughs. Up over head in this shed were a va- riety of poles and brush that served to hold up the straw. Flock after flock, of the early hatches took up their roosting place in the cattle shed and by cold weather the regular hen house was almost entirely deserted. Some 150 hens, mostly early pullets were roosting in the cattle shed by Decem- ber ist, and the daily output of eggs was from five to eight dozen, and it continued all winter. When the weath- er got colder, and stormy days came, the cattle were fed in racks, clover and timothy and millet hay, corn fod- der, etc. The cattle were continually working down some of the straw shed, and finally the shoats went to sleep- ing in the litter. That old straw shed seemed-to be a home for most every- thing that could get into it. Even the flocks of quails made daily visits and worked with the hens in and around the yard and shed. I do not re- member of a single ailing fowl all winter and when spring came, they were bright and ready to hunt in the nearby grove and orchard. At the time, I looked at all these things as a “matter of course,” but since I have grown older and read and listened to up-to-date méthods, scien- tific ventilation, jim crack feeds and sanitary poultry houses, my mind wan- ders back to the old straw shed, its simplicity and its success. I have firmly made up my mind that lots of up-to-date poultry theories are more theoretical than practical and that if it were possible for all poultry raisers to have an old straw shed, chicken doctors and remedies would not be so popular as they are. I am a firm believer in lots of litter for the fowls to work in, also a va riety of feeds and unlimited pure air. Still more, I believe fowls should have plenty of salt and water. Stop and think of it. An egg is nearly 80 per cent water; the hens must have water in abundance and unlimited exercise in pure air. Yes, salt will kill fowls and it will kill stock, too, but it will kill nothing if it has been managed carefuly. Sunshine and pure air was made for fowls as well as other life, and while it is so cheap, why be stingy with it? Straw, chaff, leaves or other kinds of litter is enjoyed by hens just as much as a pond of water is by} ducks. The water may not do the} ducks any particular good, but keeps} the hens warm and healthy and the lit: ter absorbs moisture and keeps the} ground or floor under it warm. In building poultry houses, we should | study the hens more and ourselves | less.—M. M. Johnson. Mysteries of Incubation. To the novice there are no myste | ries about incubators. He has read a) few things about them, and the way) seems plain. A man who had had noth: ing to do with incubators was telling the writer of this how easy it was to/ manage them, saying he proposed tc| try one before long—“it would be so| interesting.” His remark elicited the | inquiry: “Did you ever try one?” ta} which he replied, “Oh, no, but it is) easy enough.” The man who has run) incubators knows that it is not “easy | enough” sometimes. The old hen {¥ adjusted somewhat automatically; she | seems not to mind temperatures or) supplies of moisture, and in due time | brings off her hatch. But with the | incubator it is different. It must be| studied. The cheerful amateur soon | finds that there are mysteries about it | he has to learn or try to learn. He} has been told that certain locations, | as in the cellar, are the best places for | the incubator. He tries it and fails| to get a good batch. He then puts| his incubator in some place he had been warned against and succeeds. Why? Then the temperature. He has been told to keep his incubator at 102 or 103 degrees. He tries to do so. But in a short time he finds that there | is a great variety of temperature in the incubator, the temperature of the | eggs being one thing and over the eggs another. He begins to wonder where his standard of temperature is to be. He is given full instructions on how to use the regulator, and fol- lows directions beautifully and suc- cessfully generally, but now and then it does not seem to give proper re- sults and his eggs get too hot or too cold. Why? The question of moisture claims some of his attention, and he begins to read up on the matter. Then he discovers that poultry-raisers have had all kinds of experiences with that thing they call moisture. Atter a year or two, the amateur discovers that there are mysteries connected with incubation, and he gets ready to in- vestigate in earnest. Jealousy and envy are paid-up mort- gages of human nature. A VENERABLE PASTOR CURED BY PE-RU-NA. Pe-ru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic b sips ay on all the mucous membranes of ie ‘Especially Adapted to the De- clining Powers of Old Age. The Oldest Man in America Attributes His Long Life and Good Health to Pe-ru-na. Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county: Texas, has attained the great age of 114 years. Heis an ardent friend of Peruna and speaks of it in the following terms. Mr. Brock says: “‘After a man has lived in the world as long as I have he ought to have found out a great many things by experience. I think I have done so, “One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper remedy for ailments due di- rectly to the effects of the climate. “For 114 years I have withstood the . changeable climate of the United States. During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. I had always supposed these affections to be different diseases. For the last. ten or fifteen years I have been reading Dr. Hartman's books and have learned from them one thing in particular: That these affections are the same and that they are Pipers. called catarrh. “As for Dr. Hartman’s remedy, Peruna, Ihave found it to be the best, if not the only reliable remedy for these affections. It has been my stand-by for many years and I attribute my good health and my extreme old age to this remedy. “Tt exactly meets all my requirements. Ihave come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. I believe it to be especially valuable to old people, although I have no doubt it is just as good for the young." ¢—Isaac Brock. A New Man at 79. Major Frank O’Mahoney, West Side, Hannibal, Mo., writes: “T am professionally a newspaper cor- respondent, now 79 years old. I have watched the growing power of the Peruna plant from its incipiency in the little log cabin, through its gradationsof suceess up toits present establishment in Columbus, Ohio, and I conclude that merit brings its full reward. “Up to a few years ago I felt no need to test its medicinal potency, but lately when my system needed it, your Peruna relieved me of many catarrhal troubles. Some two years ago I weighed 210 pounds, but fell away down to 168 pounds, and besides loss of flesh I was subject to stomach troubles, indigestion, loss of appetite, insomnia, night sweats, and a foreboding of getting my entire system out of order. During some months I gave Peruna a fair trial, and it rejuvenated my whole system. I feel thankful therefore, for although 79 years old I feel like a young man.’’—Major Frank O'Mahoney. In old age the mucous membrane be- come thickened and paftly lose their function This leads to partial loss of hearing, smell and taste, as well as digestive dis- turbances.

Once used and Peruna becomes a life-long stand- by with old and young.”’ Mr. Samuel Saunders of Blythedale, Mo., writes: ‘* My disease was catarrh of the urethra and bladder. I got a bottle of Pe-ru-na and began taking it, and in a few days I was relieved and could sleep and rest all night. I think that Pe-ru-nais a valuable remedy. I had tried other very highly recommended medicines, but they did me no good. My physician told me that I could not expect to be cured of my trouble, as I was getting to be an old man (57 years). I feel very thankful for what Pe-ru-na has done for me."* In a later letter Mr. Saunders says: “Tam still of the same mind with regard to your Pe-ru-na medicine,”’ ZEA i! | f hearing entirely.
