CONVINCING EVIDENCE | That Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Will Cure Rheumatism. «« People can cure themselves of a good many common ailments at a very small cost if they go about it the right way,” said Mr. Hoar, recently. ‘‘For instance, I haye just cured myself of a very pain- ful disease. I might have begun to treat it sooner, that’s all the mistake I made in the matter. But I found the root of the difficulty and I picked out the right remedy without the aid of a. doctor. «It was really all in my blood. I first felt a twinge in my left foot and ankle in the middle of last January, following exposure to cold. TI realized I had rheu- matism and I knew that really comes from bad blood. Cold simply develops it. Then my hands and feet were cold and clammy even in hot weather; and numb a great part of the time. I con- cluded that my blood was thin and poor and the circulation sluggish. “After a time my feet and ankles swelled so badly that I could only tie my shoes half way up. My legs swelled terribly and I could walk only a short} distance before giving out completely. «When I read of the cures of all kinde of blood diseases, that had been effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I was con- vinced that they were just the remedy for my case, and so it proved. I could see that they were benefiting me before I had quite used up the first box. The improvement was decidedly marked af- _ Tid-Bits of News for Scandinavians. {| AROUSED AS NEVER EBESFORE. Great Political Wave Enqguifed Whole of Norway. Political meetings on Sunday were quite in order in Norway previous to the plebiscite of Nov. 12, when the voters of the country called Prince Karl of Denmark to the throne of Nor- way. On the preceding Sunday Nor- way saw one of the most remarkable series of political gatherings ever ar- ranged in the country. Foreign minis- ter Loeyland spoke at Gjoevik, Prof. Fridtjof Nansen at Bergen, President Berner of the storthing at Sarpsborg, President Bjornstjerne Bjornson at Lillehammer, S. B. Arctander at frendhjem, Dr. Brunchorst at Modum, Nils Vogt at Lillestrom, Prof. Yngvar Nilesen- at Skiem, and many other ad- vocates of the government’s policy at other places. In each case the size of the audi- ence was limited only by the size of the hall. More than 3,000 people heard Loevland at Gjovik and more than 1,- 200 listened to Bjornson at the little city of Lillehammer, and many were not able to get within the sound of the speakers’ voices. In the main the audiences enthusiastically approved the remarks of the speakers. At Skien, Prof. Nielsen was ocsa- sionally interrupted by cheers for a republic, and at other places the Te: publicans signified their disapproval in various ways. The meetings were continued throughout the week, Dr. Nansen go- ing to Voss and Aalesund, Loevland to Fredrikstad, Christian Knudsen to Dramen and Vikesund, Counsellor of State Bothner to Levanger. The leading republican speakers were former Minister Konow, Egede Nissen, Gunnar Knudsen, who recent- ly resigned from the ministry; Gun- nar Heinberg, Messrs. Castberg and Eriksen of the storthing. Their meet- ings were well attended. Swedish Women Set Mark. The Swedish woman has always been cast in a heroic mold. Unlike her sisters of the South, she has not won her way by the practice of se- ductive arts, but has dominated by virile and masculine. What more natural, then, than that Sweden should be the classic land of the wom- an’s rights movement? And that com: mencing with the revolutianary work of Frederika Bremer this movement should have to-day reached an exten- sive development? It is to this devel- opment that Mare Helys devotes an article in the last number of the Cor- respondent of Paris. Mr. Helys says that “the first step of the woman's rights movement in Sweden forced woman toward study. Deprived up to that day of secondary instruction, she demanded a univer- sity education and the right to exer- cise the liberal professions. The prog- ress was rapid. In 1836 woman had no civil liberty. ‘In 1870 she was ad- mitted to the university and to the school of medicine; and in 1873 she received permission to be present at all examinations except the theolog- ical. Then a great thirst for knowl- edge seemed to spread over the Swe- dish féminine world, and in order to satisfy it Baroness Aldersparre and her friends conceived the plan of the Union Frederika Bremer, which sys- temized the movement.” : There is no other similar associa- tion in Europe, says M. Helys. “Form- ed in 1884, the society was never one of combat. Its program is mot one of feminine demands, but of feminine progress. It has been founded ac- cording to the charter ‘to work for the methodical and orderly development of women and for the amelioration of her moral and material condition.’ It begins by teaching women to recog- nize their individuality, and also to feel that work does not unclass them. Education and independence were the dreams of Frederika Bremer, . and these may be considered the propa- ganda of the Swedish woman’s rights movement.” The union is divided into six sec- ter I had taken two boxes. Three more boxes restored my hands and feet and legs to natural size and feeling and then I stopped taking medicine and have since been perfeetly well.”’ Mr. F.

It is with money obtained in this way that ‘many women are édu- cated. One of the most noteworthy branches, however, is the information department, which is designed to keep women informed of the fields of activ- ity open to them and of the means which should be adopted for success in this field. This department is in touch with the whole of Sweden and with all foreign societies. Women are here helped to find situations and are advised in their affairs, and are given every legal assistance they may need. ae a Norwegian Officer Knighted. * Capt. Johan Nyquist, of the general staff of the Norwegian army, has been made a knight of the Russian order of St. Stanislaus of the second class with sword, for his tact and ability while attached to the Russian army in Man- churian campaign. He was one of the few foreign military attaches whe was given the utmost privileges for investigating the army movements, and his reports to the home office were highly instructive to his brother officers and bore witness of the most careful observation. Dairy Associations. Dairy associations have been of im- mense help to the country. They have more than anything else stimulated the production of milk and butter, and have secured for the producer of these articles lower rates on the railroads than could have been obtained in any other way. Considering the smaJ size of these associations the work accom- plished has been remarkable.. Very few of the state dairy associations have more than two or three hundred actual members; in some cases the actual members do not exceed one hundred. ‘There are a great many members that pay their yearly fee for the mere sake of having their names on the membership roll. In numerous cases these are agents of dairy supply houses, butter colors and other com- mercial interests connected more or less remotely with dairying. The small number of members have, how- ever, the support of the farming popu- lation. They are looked upon as some- thing of a parliament, where great policies are discussed and adopted. When the representatives of these as- sociations come before the state legis- realize that these men stand for many thousands of dairymen ‘in their states. Were this not so, the National Dairy Union, an association composed of but a handful of men, could never have forced the oleomargarine laws through Congress. The Wisconsin Dairymen’s Association, about thirty years ago, took up the matter of railroad rates. They sent one of their leading officérs to Chicago, and he spent days in con- ferring with the men of the railroads passing through Wisconsin. He ob- tained a rate which, for lowness, was unheard-of in those days. He also ob tained the use of refrigerator cars for shipping Wisconsin butter and cheese to Chicago, New York and other east- ern points. The results were imme- diately felt in Wisconsin and through- out the entire West. It was the Illi- nois Dairymen’s association that really created the existing state pure food commission. It fought for years to get the bill that created the commis- sion through the legislature. The good work accomplished will go on from year to year and from generation to generation. Yet in spite of the great work that was done, no convention of Illinois dairymen exceeds a hundred or so of actual members. I think the farmers everywhere should encourage the formation of dairy associations. I also believe they should lose no oppor- tunity in attending the meetings of dairy associations. It has been a mat- ter of remark that the farmers living near the meeting places in many cases seem to ignore entirely the existence of the associations and the holding of conventions, even when these conven: tions have been held in localities noted for their dairying.industry. Sometimes the audience has been composed of people from beyond the boundaries of the county, with but a sprinkling of the local farmers. The farmer that has the opportunity to attend a dairy convention almost without expense to himself can afford to sacrifice two or three days of the time on his farm for the sake of being present at the meet- ings. The amount of information that he will obtain will be worth vast- ly more to him than the amount of work that he can do in the same time. —John Stinson, Bureau Co., Ill, in Farmers’ Review. Animal Husbandry in Ohio. The Ohio Experiment Station has es- tablished a department of animal hus- bandry, and placed it in charge of B. E. Carmichael, B. S., a graduate of the University of Illinois. Mr. Car- michael will continue the experiments in feeding for beef and for milk which have been in progress at the main sta- tion at Wooster for several years past, and will also conduct experiments in cattle and sheep feeding at the test- farms. It is further planned to carry on a limited number of co-operative experiments with farmers who are feeding extensively. A lamb feeding test of this character is now being started. Cooking a Ham. Lay the ham in sufficient cold water to cover it well, for some hours; then scrape and wash it very carefully and put it in fresh water to covér; let it remain all night. The following morn- ing put sufficient fresh water to boil in a large pot—plenty to cover the ham— and when it is nearly boiling, gently immerse the ham, let it come to the boiling point and keep it simmering for an hour. Then, if the ham is a | very salt one,' change the water, not otherwise; add a bay leaf, two large onions or four small ones, the greens from six stalks of celery or a table- spoonful of celery seed, two carrots, two blades of mace, four allspice and two cloves. .Be sure not to let the water boil, or the ham will be made tough; it is absolutely necessary to keep it at the simmering point, if you wish your ham mellow and _ tender. Skim when needful. It will take about four hours to cook it. When done, take the pot from the fire; leave the ham in the water until it is lukewarm, then take it out, skin it, stick it over with cloves in any preferred design, sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar, put in a pan and brown delicately in | a hot oven.

I don’t mind letting you down on this ginger beer, and, what’s more, I'll give you a dime to play this little game on the grocer over the way.” “Gimme the dime,” cried the youth —and the willing grocer passed the coin over.

He bought a string | of horses and entered them for the Saratoga meet. He raced his horses for the fun of it and rarely bet. One day he had a horse entered that seem- ed to have so excellent a chance to win that he bet $10 on it. When the horses got away Clancey stood in the grandstand watching them through his field glasses. Some of his friends, knowing of the $10 bet, erowded about and began to joke him. “Where’s your horse now?” Clancy was asked. Clancy surveyed the field carefully. | “T can’t quite make out,” he replied, “whether he is last in the third race race or first in the fourth.” Eminent Doctors Praise its Ingredisnts. We refer to that boon to weak, nervous, suffering women known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editbrial Staff of THe Ectectic MepicaL REVIEw says of Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica) which is one of the chief ingredients of the “Fa- vorite Prescription” : “A remedy which invariably acts as a uter- ine invigorator * * * makes for normal ac- tivity. of the entire reproductive system.” He continues “in Helonias we have a medica- ment which more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug with which I am acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe- culiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent.” Dr. Fyfe further ays: “The following are among the leading indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pain or aching in the back, with leucorrhea; atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive organs of women, mental depression and ir- ritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women, constant sensation of heat in the region of the kid- neys; menorrhagia (flooding), due to a weak- ened condition of the reproductive system; amenorrhoea (suppressed or absent monthly periods), arising from or accompanying an abnormal! condition of the digestive organs and anemic (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations in the extreme lower part of the abdomen.” If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid woman_can do better than take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, one of the leading sngredt- ents of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias, and the medical properties of which it most faithfully represents. Of Golden Seal root, another prominent ingredient of “Favorite Be ee ee Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben- nett Medical College, Chicago, says: “It is an important remedy in disorders of the womb. In all catarrhal conditions * * * and general enfeeblement, it is useful.” _ Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root: *In relation to its general effects on the system, there is no medicine in use about which there is such general unanimity of opinion. It is universally regarded as the tonic useful in all debilitated states.” Prof. Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson Medical College, says of Golden Seal : “Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, menor- Thagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor- rhoea (painful menstruation ).” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription faith- fol, represents all the above named in- gredients and cures the diseases for which they are recommended.
