» ~~ e ral | | The Curative Power of PE-RU-NA in Kidney Disease the Talk of the Continent. Nicholas J. Hertz, Member of Ancient Order of Workmen, Capitol Lodge, No. 140, Pearl Street Hotel, Albany, N. Y., writes: “A few months ago T contracted a heavy cold which settled in my kidneys, and each time I was exposed to inclem- ent weather the trouble was aggravated until finally I was unable to work. _ After trying many of the adver- tised remedies for kidney trouble, I finally took Peruna. “In a week the intense pains in my back were much relieved and in four weeks I was able to take up my work again. “I still continued to use Peruna for another month and at the end of that time I was perfectly well. “I now take a dose or two when I have been exposed and find that it is splendid to keep me well.” Hundreds of Cures. Dr. Hartman is constantly in receipt of testimonials from people who have been cured of chronic and complicated kidney disease by Peruna. For free medical advice, address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

Large as England and Wales. ‘So much is being written of the in- ternal economy of Russia lately that the extent of crown lands has escaped attention, says I. H. James, Cleveland. “The czar’s Altai estates alone cover an area of over 170,000 square miles, being about three times the size of England and Wales. The Nertchisak estates in Eastern Siberia are esti- mated at about 76,600 square miles. In the Altai estates are situated the gold and silver mines of Barnaul, Pau- lov, Sinijov and Laktjepp, the copper foundry of Gavrilov, in the Salagirov district. The receipts from these enormous estates are not commensur- ate with their size, but this is largely owing to a deficit in working the mines. The ore from the mines is transported 300 or 400 miles to the smelting works, ‘which are built in districts where wood abounds.”—Mil- waukee Free Press. Reversing Things. They had just finished breakfast and the woman of the future was about to start down town, when her husband arose from the table, placed his arms about her neck and kissed her. “Dearest,” he murmured softly, “I love you more than words can tell.” “Oh, you do, eh?” she rejoined, sus- piciously. “What is it now—a new silk hat or a pair of trousers ?”—Chi- cago News. Advancing the Farmers’ Interests. Traveling agents and salesmen are now sent from the home offices of the Chicago packers into all South Ameri- can and Asiatic countries. They are going into every land, no matter what language may be spoken or what money be used. They will exchange their goods for cowries or elephant tusks—anything to sell the product and get something in return converti- ble into money. It may seem odd to some folks, but traveling men, carry- ing cases with samples of American meat products, can be seen in the desert of Sahara, the sands of Zanzi- bar, or in Brazil, “where the nuts come from.” Great is the enterprise of the Yankee merchant. The greater the market, the greater the price and sta- bility of the price ‘of the product and all that goes to make it in its various stages.

And the Next Day It Snowed. They were telling a story to-day of a conversation a friend of H. H. Rog- ers had with the Amalgated’s presi- dent. The friend wanted to know whether the “system” was going to let Lawson make any serious impression upon the price of Amalgamated this trip. “Oh, pshaw,” Mr. Rogers was report- ed to have replied, “what’s the use of sweeping the snow off until it has stopped snowing?’—New York Mail. Stated His Reason. A well known actor tells the follow- ing amusing yarn: In his early, struggling days, before he attained fame and fortune, he once found himself in a small country place with a fifth-rate company. Wandering idly round the morning after their ar- rival, he was passing a church en- trance just as a wedding was about to be celebrated. To kill the time he went in. The ground floor of the church was pretty full, but a low, dark gallery near the roof was apparently deserted. The ceremony proceeded on the even tenor of its way until the minis- ter inquired if anyone present knew any reason why the couple before him should not be united together in the holy bonds of matrimony. There was silence for a moment and then a smtll, thin voice in the gallery was-heard to say, “Yes, I do.” All eyes were turned to the gallery, where the figure of a small, milk-and- watery-looking individual was barely discernible in the gloom. “State your reason!” said the min- ister, fixing the protester with a steel- ly eye. A fit of uncontrollable mirth seized all present when there came from the gallery the diffident reply: “Please, sir, I—I want the gal my- self!” “GOLD GOLD.” “Good,” He Says, “But Comfort Bet- ter.” “Food that fits is better than a gold mine,” says a grateful man. “Before I commenced to use Grape- Nuts food no man on earth ever had- a worse infliction from catarrh of the stomach than I had for years. “I could eat nothing but the very lightest food and even that gave me great distress. “I went through the catalogue of prepared foods but found them all (except Grape-Nuts) more or less in- digestible, generating gas in the stom- ach (which in turn, produced head- ache and various ther pains and aches) and otherwise unavailable for my use. “Grape-Nuts food I have found easily digested and assimilated, and it has renewed my health and vigor and made me a well man again. The catarrh of the stomach has disap- peared entirely with all its attendant ills, thanks to Grape-Nuts, which now is my almost sole food. I want no other.” Name given by Postum Co., ‘Battle Creek, Mich. ’ ‘Ten days’ trial tells the story. ‘There's a reason. | Williams’ Pink Pills should have cured The Best Breed of Poultry. What is the best breed? This is a question that is being continually asked by amateurs in poultry breed- ing, Lut is never answered. The ex- perienced poultry breeder does not ask it and does not try to answer it. He has long since learned that. there is no best breed for all persons, all localities, and all conditions. The man that wants to raise broilers for market will select the kind of fowl that will prove the best for his pur- pose, and the bird that would be the best for one man under one set of. conditions would be worthless for an- other man under another set of con- ditions. Thus in the raising of broil- ers the heavier breeds are usually rec- ommended, such as the Wyandottes, the Langshans, and the Brahmas. But there are cases where even the small breeds prove to be the best for this purpose. One man in Indiana told me that he was supplying about 600 broii- ers a year to the New York market, and he had been engaged in this busi- ness for a great many years. He had tried a large number of varieties of fowls but the breed that had proved the best for him, and which he had settled down to use was the Brown Leghorn. His particular market want- ed a bird small and plump, such as the Brown Leghorn chick made, at a certain age. Thus, in his case we see a variety of the egg laying breeds used for a purpose generally supposed to be peculiar to the heavy breeds. I might give illustrations, too, relative to egg laying. The Brown Leghorn is a great layer, and is well adapted to many localities of this country. Yet farther north, farmers raise a great objection to the large comb on the head of the single combed Leghorn, as this comb frequently freezes off, and this accident supposedly incapa- ciates the hen from laying. very many eggs. ‘Thus the Leghorn, which is well adapted to one locality, is not adapted to another. I know a man who had a yard surrounded with a two foot fence. He wanted a fowl that he could keep in this yard that would not fly over the fence, that would be always tame and yet would be a large producer of eggs. This fowl he found in the Light Brahma. So the best fowl for him. was the Light Brahma. I might name over every variety of fowl and show that each one was best in some localities and under some conditions.—Sophie Belknap, Allen Co., Ind., in Farmers’ Review. Number of Eggs Per Year. The numter of eggs that a hen will produce in a year is greatly over- estimated. If we look in poultry books we will see various estimations as to the average production of different breeds of poultry. Thus, all the Leg- horn varieties are credited with 200 eggs a year, and the Plymouth Rocks with about 150 a year. These are supposed to be the average figures. I am certain from my own investiga- tions and observations that the aver- age productions are very far below these figures. I do not believe that the Leghorn varieties will average over 150 a year, or that the Plymouth Rocks will produce more than 120 eggs a year on the average. Remem- ber that I am talking about averages, and not what the best layers will do. I have no doubt that there are a great many Leghorns that will lay 200 eggs a year, and I am absolutely certain that there are a great many of that breed that do not lay 100 a year. I once kept a very close account of the productions of a mixed flock of layers. There were some Leghorns in my flock, some Plymouth Rocks, and some that did not appear to belong to any breed. In no year was I ever able to get more than 120 eggs on the average. I know of a New York man that has for many years been raising White Leghorns. He had several hun- dred of these, and had been breeding out the poorest layers, so far as" he could tell them, and retaining the best Jayers. At the time I saw him last, he said that his best year had been the year that had given him 160 eggs per hen on the average. It must be remembered that these were se- lected birds of the best laying breed. —Phoebe Caldwell, Butler Co., O., in Farmers’ Review. Cause of Soft Shelled Eggs. The production of soft shelled eggs is certainly due to a deranged condi- tion of the egg producing organs of the fowl. Some tell us that it is due to the lack of lime. Others say that it is an unbalanced condition of the feed, but we find- soft shelled eggs produced both by the hens that have an abundance of lime and those that are fed balanced rations. Out of a flock of 50 hens we have seen one that would produce soft shelled eggs when all the other hens produced normal eggs. She not only produced them but ate them greedily as soon as pro- duced. There was an abnormal con- dition of the egg producing organs, and perhaps an abnormal state of the appetite. For some reason or other the organs upon which was laid the charge of producing the egg shells ceased to work. This is a matter that must be more fully studied before the full cause of the soft egg shel) _*Tt seems like a miracle that Dr. my nenralgia,’’ said Mr. Porter. “They are certainly a marvelous medicine and Tam always glad to recommend them. ‘For two years,” he continued, “T nad suffered almost unendurable painsin my head.

' Against Proprietary Medictnes. Schemes to diminish or destroy the sale of proprietary medicines are constantly being devised by interested parties. Every now and then some zealous reformer comes to the front with the demand for a law to require every package of proprietary medi- eine to be labeled with a printed! statement of the ‘formula,’ showing just how it is manufactured. The mil- lions of people who use. proprietary medicines seem to be satisfied; but the affairs of other people or who has some personal interest to serve is the one who agitates the proposition. To a person who has never taken time to consider it, such a proposition may seem reasonable enough; yet it is in fact nothing more nor less than a scheme to compel the manufactur- ers to put their trade throughout the entire country at the mercy of every i commercial pirate who might choose to flood the market with imitations of their goods. “Under such conditions the ‘incen- tive for the original manufacturer to advertise his goods would be practi- cally destroyed, for the money spent on advertising would inure mainly to the benefit of the pirates and imita- tors. Without advertising, the public would receive little information in regard to the medicine, and all future sales would be greatly impaired if not wholly destroyed. It is mainly by judicious advertising that the knowl- edge of proprietary medicines is brought to the public. Nothing is more certain than that millions of peo- ple have found relief at a compara: | tively small expense by the use of some remedy first called to their notice through newspaper advertising. Why, then, should the manufacturer of a meritorious proprietary remedy be compelled by law to practically destroy his business as a condition of being allowed to carry it on? Yet that is exactly what these formula bills mean.—Exchange.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over over again. ‘I donot feel well; Lam so tired all the time!” More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the fe- male organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv- ousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhea. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remecy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald, of Woodbridge, N. J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham : “T think that a woman naturally dislikes to make ber troubles known to the public, but restored health has meant so much to me that I cannot help from telling mine for the of other suffering women. “ For a long time I suffered untold agony with a uterine trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and streng, and I feel it my duty to tell other suffering wemen what a sp! it is.” If you are ill, don’t hesitate to geta bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound at once, and write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for special advice—it is free and always helpful. W.L.
