THE THE BATTLE OVER. THE VICTORY WON. Wm Drake and T. A. Carter de. feats Redman and Parker The big fight which has been on among the colored for the past two weeks or more for the job as colored policeman was ended last Monday night when Wm Drake was confirmed by the city council with a vote of 7 yeses and one absent. Early Sunday morning after the paper had stated that the slate had been made up and Redman had been slated and another white man, the fight then began, and lasted until late Monday evening at which time a sudden pop struck the co uncil's slate and fell to pieces and while they went putting it together, all got back on excepting Redman, Parker and Bailey who had to suffer the lost on account of the break. We congratulate Mr Drake for winning this up hill and hard fight, and knowing him as we do, we need not take the space nor time to recall his unquestionable record as a peace officer, because nearly every Sedalian know of his ability and qualification along this line, and we are safe in saying that he will prove himself worthy of this honor and trust and thoroughly qualified and capable to proform every duty. He having served during the past fifteen years or more as deputies, makes him almost a graduate and one of the best Negro detectives in Central Missouri. So well done though good and faithful servant, thou has been faithful with these small things, and you have been rewarded larger things, so let you whole aim be as before. to do your duty without regards to man or element. There was not much fight for the janitor job, but Mr Parker's friends did all they could to retain him in this job, because they thought he had made a faie janitor during the past year. He will be succeeded by T, A. Carter after the 1, Mr Carter's friends seen fit to offer him this place as a reward for his faithfulness as worker, which for years a faithful worker for every interest of the city, and has been a strong worker in the republican battles that counted much. His many friends knowing that he has had a vast amount of experience in line of work and that the job would be properly cared for by him, they gave it to him, and we are proud to say that they could not have gave it to a more de erving man than him, he is known for his honesty, politeness and gentlemanly disposition together with all that it takes to make a janitor. We congratulate our city fathers in their CASH OR CREDIT. Catalogue FREE. CENTURY MF'G CO.

About 300,000,000 feet, says the Springfield Republican, will be ground up in pulp mills and the rest will be used for lumber. This vast harvest has called for the employment of about 16,000 men, many of whom went into the woods early in the fall to make the camps ready for the lumber jacks, and nearly $4,000,000 has been paid to them in wages. Now that the trees are down and the logs on the water's edge the drive will soon begin and the prospects for a good one are ex- cellent. The season will be a profit- able one for the state, but if the wholesale slaughter of trees con- tinues for a few years more and no care is taken to preserve the forests even the vast Maine wilderness will fail and the pulp mills and the lum- ber men will be idle.

Gen. Baldwin is credited with the following state- ment: “The inference from the interview in question by which I am made to appear as disregarding the lives of the negro and Filipino is ridiculous, as my past record will sustain.

Secretary Cortelyou Has Record of Fifty-eight Trips, Secretary Cortelyou is pleased with his new position at the head of the department of commerce and labor chiefly because it will enable him to spend some of his leisure hours at home. While private secretary to Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt he participated in fifty-eight journeys similar to the present tour of the pres- ident. This statement was made by Mr. Cortelyou himself in answer to a query as to whether he did not feel lonesome not be of the party accom- panying Mr. Rooseveit. These fifty- eight trips prove in a striking manner that the presidents of the United States are not so tied to the capital as would be imagined, With this rec- ord Mr. Cortelyou says that it is a great relief to him not to be respon- sible for any of the details of the present excursion of the president. In his fifty-eight trips with presidents Mr. Cortelyou traveled more than 50, 000 miles. HIS EXPENSES TOO HEAVY. Why Ohio Man Resigned Good Gov- ernment Position. It is sixteen years ago since Milton E. Ailes of Ohio secured a minor position in the treasury department at Washington. He rose steadily and finally became assistant secretary, dis- charging the duties of that position with ability and scrupulous care. Now it is announced that he has resigned his office to become vice president of the Riggs National bank of Washing- ton. ‘hat bank is the largest institu- tion of its kind at the national cap- ital. “I am quitting the government service because I cannot afford to be an assistant secretary of the treas- ury,” is the way Mr. Ailes states the case. “I was better off as an $1,800 clerk than I am as an assistant sec- retary, where my pay is $4,000. The demands are such in a social way that a young man without independent means cannot be entirely comfortable, and he certainly cannot get ahead as he would like.” Think Moraan Was Swindled, #n consequence of the announcement that Pierpont Morgan would place on exhibition a collection of carpets which formerly belonged to the royal house of Spain several Spanish news- papers have asked for an investiga- tion, as before the reign of Alfonso XII the royal collection was complete.

District Attorney Is Severe in His Indictment. Eugene A. Philbin of New York, has a poor opinion of jurors, grand and petty, in that city. In an ad- dress at Columbia university on “The District Attorney's Office” he referred as follows to the corruptibility of jurors: “There are men on grand juries in New York whose first object is to protect the political party to which they belong. One jury recently refused to issue a presentment be- cause the person affected was a good political worker in the district of one of the jurors. The grand jury not in- frequently stands between the crimi- nal and the just penalty of his crime. The district attorney is confronted with the necessity of attacking police corruption which so clearly exists, but he finds it almost impossible to secure a conviction for bribery owing to the character of the witnesses. I have seen cases where the moral evi- dence was complete that certain jur- ors were corrupted, and one has con- fessed to me.” Conan Doyle’s Religious Ideas. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle cherishes many interests and one of them is re- ligious work. Last week the knight opened a ‘bazaar in aid of a fund toward a chapel to the memory of the late Hugh Price Hughes and he took advantage of the occasion to remark that he did not agree with the sys- tem of keeping religion in water- tight compartments, each having no connection with the other. All, he said, were working for the ameliora- tion of mankind and he had profound respect for ail and would gladly help them. Sir Arthur, by the way, was brought up a Roman Catholic. His Subjects Cheer the Czar. The czar of Russia had a new ex- perience the other day which proved to him that there is such a thing as national spirit among the »common people of Russia, As he drove through the streets of St. Petersburg the crowds cheered him to the echo and It is said that the sad-faced autocrat positively beamed with pleasure over the evidence of popular approval of him. The cordial outburst was un- doubtedly due to the recent ukase announcing forthcomig reforms.

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S LONGCAREER Late Mormon Leader Active in Build- ing up the Church. - Brigham Young, son of President Young, founder of the Mormon church, who died in Salt Lake recent- ly, had been ill for a long time and spent last year in Idaho in search of health. Mr. Young was born in Kirt land, Ohio, in 1836. He was _presi- dent of the Council of Twelve Apos- tles, and by virtue of that position was in direct line to become the head of the church, to which place he would undoubtedly have succeeded had he lived, because of his family connections and the influence of the name in Utah. Throughout his life «a 9) ; ty e w Brigham Young had been promi- nently identified with the work of the Mormon church both at home and abroad. He was a member of the Utah legislature for several terms and had occupied many positions of honor and trust. He went to Utah in 1849, making the perilous journey across the trackless plains while yet a mere boy. Like all the pioneers of this valley, his early life, when not fighting hostile Indians, was spent in performing hard manual labor. Brig- ham Young made several trips abroad in the interest of his church, and in 1864 was president of the European Mission. In 1879 he was imprisoned for ‘refusing to turn certain church property over to the government agent, but was released after three weeks’ confinement. having already been set aside by Mayor Glines for the carrying out of such a purpose. Prospect Hill is noted for the prominent part it took in the Revolu- tionary war, and it was from the top of this hill that the first American flag was thrown to the breeze. The observatory is to take the form of a tower, and will closely re- semble an old English castle. The tower will be forty-five feet high. The top will be flat and protected to. a height of four feet by a parapet, with iron gratings in the embrasures, and will afford a view that cannot be equaled in Boston. On a clear day the vision can travel to the Blue Hills, Boston Light and to the White Mountains, The walls of the tower will be of rough granite and will be thirty fect in diameter. Two rooms will be set apart for the exhibiting of historic relies and souvenirs, Tue structure from the second floor will be hexa- gonal in shape, resting on six col ums. The sleeping echoes of her quiet room Are never waked by bursts of childish glee, And up the polished staircase never come Light patternings of footsteps swift and free, Alone she sits and in the twilight gloom Dreams happily of what shall never be! Sometimes her wistful fancy strews the floor (Rich carpeted and neat) with broken toys; Paints finger prints on window glass and door; Hears echoes of shrill laughter and rude noise All that a tired mother might deplore Would seem to her starved heart as priceless Sometimes her wistful fancy strews the floor (Rich carpeted and neat) with broken toys; Paints finger prints on window glass and door, Hears echoes of shrill laughter and rude noise; All that a tired mother might deplore Would seem to her starved heart as priceless joys! Till, from the world without, some sudden note Of childish voices through her vision rings, And sobs of anguish rise to her white throat, Round which no dimpled arm in mischief clings; Gone are the sweet dream-fancies, as may float From earth to heaven the flash of angel wings. And yet, no little empty crib is there To mock the mother arms, outstretched in vain, She hoards no shining tress of silken hair, No tiny grave where buried hopes lie slain; Only the deeper loss she has to bear Upon whose heart no babe of hers has lain. A Soldier' ```markdown ``` A Soldier's Gratitude First Lieutenant Robert Emmett Kavanaugh was pacing up and down his narrow quarters in Fort Grady, Michigan, holding a telegram in his hand. He had read it twenty times, but at every second turn in his nervous walk he read it again. The telegram was dated Chicago, and this is what it said: "Leave Thursday for Florida; Uncle Frank ill. Stay indefinite. Norah Desmond." Lieut. Bob Emmett and Norah Desmond were engaged. They were to be married as soon as a few accommodating superior officers would consent to be killed off or die in their beds and thereby give Bob a chance to write captain instead of lieutenant before his name on the official papers "Norah's going to Florida," he muttered to himself. "I haven't seen her for three weeks and won't see her for six months to come. Uncle Frank is one of the kind who never dies and who never gets well, and Norah'll stay down there until the old man is willing to let her go. She's more of a stickler for duty than Old Muggs, the commanding officer, and that's saying a lot. He won't give me a leave; I've had too many. Great Winfield Scott, but I would like to see Norah before she goes." And Lieut. Robert Emmett Kavanaigh sighed. Bob Kavanaugh couldn't keep anything to himself, and in five minutes he was telling his woes to Capt. Percy Lanyard of the artillery corps. "Brace up, Kavanaugh," said Lanyard; "Muggs is going to send a general prisoner through Chicago to Fort Sheridan to stand trial. It isn't a very pleasant duty, but if you'll volunteer, I think Muggs will send you, and you can stop off on our way back from Fort Sheridan—it is only a few miles from Chicago—and see your blue-eyed Norah before she gets on the Florida limited." Twelve hours from that time Bob Kavanaugh was sitting in a smoking car on a Chicago bound train, with a big Colt revolver strapped around him and an enlisted man, with a downcast look, sitting alongside of him. Bob Kavanaugh had a soft heart. The soldier at his side had seen eight years of service and had never been in trouble before. He had assaulted the "top" sergeant, a serious offense in the army, as may go without saying. Part of a freight train went into the ditch ahead of the Fort Grady A "Norah's going to Florida," he muttered to himself. passenger train. Kavanaugh and his prisoner were delayed five hours. Finally the way was cleared and the train ran on to Chicago. It was Thursday, and in four hours Norah's train would leave for Florida. It was utterly impossible for the officer to get his prisoner to Fort Sheridan and strews the floor broken toys; glass and door, r and rude noise; explore heart as priceless joys! s Gratitude to return in time to say good-by to his fiance. Kavanaugh and his charge stepped from the train into the Chicago depot. Bob's heart was sore. "I must see her," he said to himself. "I can't stand it for six months." At that instant he saw at the depot cigar stand, making a purchase, Jack Bacon, a A "I took a shot at him. Chicago club man, and an intimate friend. Kavanaugh hurried his charge over toward the young fellow. "Jack, old man, glad to see you. You have an hour or two to spare, I know you have; don't say no," and with this the lieutenant grabbed his friend by the arm, motioned his prisoner to walk ahead, and the three went on a half trot into the office of a hotel across the street. Kavanaugh threw a $2 bill before the clerk and ordered a room. He hurried the astounded Jack Bacon and the prisoner into the apartment on the second floor. "Jack," said Kavanaaugh, in a low tone, "as you love me, watch this man. I must see Norah Desmond. She's off for Florida. Take this gun and don't fail me," and with that First Lieutenant Robert Emmett Kavanaaugh showed a revolver into Jack Bacon's hand, bolted through the door out of the hotel and on to a trolley car. In twenty minutes he was with Norah Desmond, who was in the midst of the last hour of preparation for her Florida trip. In twenty minutes more the door bell of the flat rang violently. The maid opened it, and in rushed Jack Bacon, flushed and fairly beside himself. "Bob," he yelled, "your prisoner skipped. He kicked open a door into the next room and jumped onto a low roof and then into the alley. I took a pot shot at him, but missed, and when I got down he was clean gone." Bob Kavanaugh sank into a chair, his face pale. "Norah," he said, "this means court-martial and dismissal for me unless I can catch the fellow. It's a clean case of neglect of duty. It's all up, dear, if I don't get him, and if I'm kicked out of the army I don't know what I'll do. But this won't catch him. I'm off, but I'll be at the train to say good-bye,' and Kavanaugh was out of the door and down the stairs four steps at a time. Over on Halsted street in a room above a store a pretty, pale girl sat talking to a soldier in uniform. "It's all up, Polly," he was saying. "I hit the 'top' sergeant. He deserved it, but I was put in arrest and was to be tried, and it meant two years. I just cut away from a 'cit' whom the officer who had me in tow left me in care of." --- CHILDREN. "Oh, this is awful, Jim," said the girl, "and you'll be'a deserter, too." "I won't get any more for that than I'll get for the other." Then suddenly changing the subject the soldier asked: "How's your mother?" "Better, Jim, but she'd have died if it hadn't been for Miss Norah Desmond. She's an angel. I had to stop work to nurse mother, and the money gave out and I got sick, and Miss Norah gave us a nurse and a doctor and did lots else. I think she saved my life, too." "Norah Desmond, Polly? That's the name of the girl the lieutenant I cut from is to marry. He'll be disgraced and the girl will suffer. She saved you and your mother, did she, Polly. Get on your things, quick. She leaves for Florida. I know the train. The lieutenant 'll be there, I know that. Hurry, girl." Lieut. Robert Emmett Kavanaugh was kissing Norah Desmond good-by. Just then from behind him came a voice loud and with something of a ring of humor in it. "Sir, all are present and accounted for." Kavanaugh turned like a flash. There stood Private Spencer saluting with his right hand, while his left was holding that of a very pretty girl. "Spencer, you're a brick," said Kavanaugh, and nothing but army training kept him from slapping his inferior on the back. "I'll use every official friend I have to get you out of your scrape." A year later in pleasant quarters at Fort Grady sat Capt. Kavanaugh and his wife. "Norah," he said, "First Sergeant James Spencer has applied for a furlough to go to Chicago to get married. Shall I approve the application?" "Bob, if you don't," said Norah, with her eyes dancing, "I'll get a divorce." STRENUOUS LIFE IN NAVY. Trophies and Athletic Equipment for Jackies of the Missouri. The strenuous life is now extending to the navy and at a quick pace. Some time ago Secretary Moody, as a result of a conversation with the President, promulgated an order authorizing the issue to any ship whose commander should report to the department that his crew has a well-developed athletic organization, of certain sporting paraphernalia appropriate to the character of certain games in which the men excel, and of a series of prizes or trophies for which they may contend. This has been acted upon by the battleship Missouri, with the result that orders have been issued for her equipment with two punching bags, twenty-four baseballs, four footballs, twelve bats, twelve broadswords, six sets of eight-ounce boxing gloves, six sets of fencing foils, twenty-four ball-players' suits, and an adequate supply of masks, gloves, protectors, etc., for all probable requirements. The suits are to have the name of the ship across the breasts of the shirts. This move has been made, not only in the belief that athletic exercises are good for the men who indulge in them, but that the interest exerted by competition between the ships' crews in manly sports will tend to take the place of less wholesome entertainments when the men are ashore. The pride of each ship in its own crack sportsmen will add to the esprit de corps and the hope is that the moral tone of the whole navy will be raised by the new plan in spite of occasional abuses which will doubtless be inevitable.—New York Post. To Face a Concert. When the low music makes a dusk of sound, About us, and the viol of far-off horn Swells out above it like a wind forlorn, That wanders, seeking something never found, What phantom in your brain, on what dim ground, Traces its shadowy lines? What vision, born Of unfulfillment, fades in mere self-scorn, Or grows, from that still twilight stealing round? When the lids droop and the hands lie unstrung, Dare one divine your dream, while the chords weave Their cloudy woof from key to key and die. It is one fate that, since the world was young, Had followed man, and made him half believe The voice of instruments a human cry? A Physical Impossibility. David Warfield was playing recently in "The Auctioneer" in a Western city, where the part of Levi attracted a group of giggling seminary girls. They admired his acting, and scribbling their names on a program, wrote underneath: "May we see you apart?" When the message was delivered, Warfield was taking off his "make-up." He seized a red pencil, one of his "props" in the auction scene, and dashed off the following reply on the same program: "Many thanks. Don't come apart. Was born in one piece."—New York Times.

Germany Is Encouraging Its Appli- cation for Fuel and for Power Purposes. The kaiser of Germany is encouraging every effort toward the use of alcohol for lighting, fuel and power purposes, and under the stimulus of prizes offered to inventors and engine constructors it is being largely utilized in various ways. Alcohol is economically made from a number of products in Germany, and consequently the supply of it is very large. At a recent exhibition demonstrating the use of alcohol there were shown a number of motors, farming implements and similar things propelled by an alcohol flame. There were also lamps which displayed great efficiency. In a report recently made to Washington, Consul General Guenther writes from Frankfort that the chief of the fire department of Manover has recently invented an alcohol firing apparatus, used in connection with an automobile fire engine, which is said to be very satisfactory in practice. The engine is driven to the scene of the fire by an alcohol motor, and while on the way the steam is gotten up by the new invention noted above so that the engine is ready for operation immediately on its arrival on the ground. Ordinarily it is necessary to keep the engine constantly fired in order that the steam supply may be immediately available. Otherwise much time is lost in getting up steam. BEAGLES WERE TINY DOGS. There is no question that the beagle is a very old breed. Early Roman accounts of England contain references to the beagle, even by name. Books published from about 1580 to 1610 describe several varieties of hounds, including "the little beagle which may be carried in a man's glove." That the miniature hound was extremely popular at the time was evident from Queen Elizabeth keeping a pack which were also said to be small enough to put in a glove, says the Country Life in America. This statement is frequently ridiculed when it is not understood that gloves of that period were not the present-day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly to the elbow. What became of those glove beagles we may surmise from what we know of the results of later attempts to maintain packs of beagles of eight to ten inches high, the result after some years, being weak puppies that fall short of the fine qualities of the little hunting dog when they are grown up. UNCLE SAM AS MISSIONARY. How the Unclean Places in Cuba Were Renovated by the American Authorities. Cuban cities, like Havana and Santiago, previous to the Spanish war, were great breeders of pestilence, and menaces to the world. Now yellow fever and smallpox have been practically stamped out, and the death rate in the island has decreased one-half, and was lower in Havana last winter than in New York, says the Woman's Home Companion. In Havana an engineer corps instituted a general system of housecleaning. Every house in the city was cleaned from top to bottom under the supervision of American officers, whether the tenant was of high or low degree; remonstrances availed nothing. As many as 16,000 houses were treated in one month. The sewer sys- Study LAW AT Home instructions by mail. Draped to every one. Nothing instructions by mail. Experienced and competent instructors.

Smith of the Nebrasa experiment station said: Corn {s our king of food stuffs and Will continue to be. It can be pro ‘duced in abundance here at little ex ‘pense. The kernels are of such size and brittleness as to make them easily ‘masticated, No food is better relished by farm animals and no food will give more satisfactory results when prop- erly fed. As a single food it 1s deft cient in protein and mineral matter, and should therefore be reinforced by something rich in these materials. As previously stated, wheat is ordinarily too expensive to feed. The by-prod- ucts of wheat, however,—bran and shorts,—are available at reasonable prices. They are not only low-priced but furnish to the animal just what corn lacks. While the three coatings of the kernel constitute but 5 per cent the gluten layer 3 per cent and 4 per cent, and the germ 6 per cent of the entire kernel, from 25 per cent to 40 per cent of the kernel is removed in milling as by-products. For fattening animals, shorts is too rich in prot.n, while corn is too deficient to give the best returns. The two together, how- ever, make a strong combination. The results of a single experiment con- ducted by Professor Henry of Wiscon- sin several years ago will substantiate this statement. In feeding three lots of pigs, one on corn meal, another on middlings, and a third on equal parts of each, one hundred pounds of gain was produced from 537 pounds of corn by the hogs of lot 1, 522 pounds of middlings by lot 2, and but 439 pounds of the mixture of both corn and mid- dlings. A given weight of the mixture therefore prodnced near 20 per cent more gain than the same weight of either alone. Bran is the food par excellence for sheep and cattle, not only because ft supplies protein and mineral matter, but also because when mixed with corn meal it so lightens the heavy grain ration as to make it more readily acted upon by the di- gestive juices and more easily moved , forward through the stomachs and in- testines. It acts as a mild laxative and | thus keeps a heavy grain fed animal in a thrifty condition. Every boy on the farm knows the value of a hot bran mash for the sick cow cr horse. If these by-products of wheat were mixed with corn in fair proportion, it would hardly seem necessary to pur- chase condimental stock foods st high prices. Well-Matured Breeding Animals Needed. More and more the stock-breeders of the United States are becoming con- vinced that they must have only ma- ture animals for breeders if the stam- ina of their flocks and herds is to be kept up. At the Wisconsin Experi- ment station it was found that one- year-old rams were not as prolific as two anc three year old rams, With ewes also it was demonstrated that ‘the ewes below three years of age gave a smaller percentage of increase than the ewes that had reached three years. We have been trying to in- tensify the quality of early maturity by breeding from immature parents, till it has become evident that the stamina of the breeds is being weak- ened. Now our stations are pointing out the necessity for using more ma- ture animals, and they are finding the lesson difficult to teach. et ae ie nei eee The makers of butterine have been looking far and near for some ingre- dient that will color oleomargarine and yet form a very considerable pro- portion of the butterine made. The internal revenue officers have hither- to decided against every coloring in- gredient found on the ground that so small a percentage was used that it was evident that it was not intended as a substantial part of the compound, but was-added for its coloring effects only. Had the coloring matter com. posed say 10 per cent of the bulk of the oleomargarine and possessed food value the internal revenue officers might have ruled that it was a legiti mate part of the compound. Now, however, a Chicago savant thinks he has found a solution of the coloring problem in eggs. He has therefore taken out a patent on what he con siders the key to the oleomargarine situation. In his application for papers patent he claims his butterine is to consist of 30 per cent fresh eggs 20 per cent tallow, and 50 per cent lard. The tallow and the lard are to be melted and thus mixed. The egg: are to be beaten for fifteen minutes and then mixed with the other ingre dients, after which tne mixture is to be bolled from 15 minutes to haif an hour, when it is cooled off and worked. How the eggs will suit the consumer: ‘of oleo is yet to be found out. Be ee ee Many a courageous man will take water rather than pay for a drink. Valuable Insect Collection.

Canada's Pig Iron Production, The Ametican tron and Steel asso- ciation has received direct from the manufacturers the statistics of the production of pig iron in Canada in 1902, They show an increase of 74,- 581 gross tons, or over 30 per cent, as compared with 1901. ‘The total pro- duction in 1902 amounted to 319,557 gross tons, against 244,976 tous in 1901 and 86,090 tons in 1900.

These doctors had been treating him for years and hé got no better. They thought that nothing could perma: nently cure him. He says: “My kidneys seemed to be so large that there wasn't room for them, and at times it seemed as if ten thousand needles were running through them. I could not sleep on my left side for years, the pain was so great in that position.. 1 had to get up many times to urinate, and my urine was some: times clear and white as spring water, and again it would be high- colored and would stain my linen. ‘The pain across my back was awful. 1 was ravenously hungry all the time. “After I had taken Dodd's Kidney Pills for four days my kidneys pained ‘me so bad I could hardly sit down. On the morning of the fifth day I felt some better, and the improvement continued until I was completely cured, “This is months ago, and as I have had no symptom of a return of my old trouble I am sure I am perma- nently cured.” A woman's idea of a convenient flat fs one that has three closets in each room. iso's Cure for Consumption is an infallible medicine for coushs and colds.--N.

BUILT OVER, Food That Rebuilt a Man’s Body and Built It Rient. By food aloné, with a knowledge of what food to use, disease can be warded off and health maintained, also many even chronic diseases can be cured, It is manifestly best and safest to depend upon food to cure rather than too much drugging. A case in point will illustrate. A well known man of Reading, Pa, Treas. of a certain club there, says: “I have never written a testimonial letter, but I have been using Grape- Nuts about a year and have recovered my health, and feel that I would like to write you about it for the case is extraordinary. “For five years I was a sufferer from a dreadful condition of the bow. els; the trouble was most obscure.” Here follows a detailed description and the condition ceriainly was dis. tressing enough (details can be given by mail). “Nothing in the way of treatment of drugs beneited me in the least and an operation was seriously con- sidered. In May, 1901, I commenced using Grape-Nuts as a food and with no idea that it would in any way help my condition. In two or three weeks’ time I roticed an improvement and there was a steady gain from that time on until now I am practically well. I don’t know how to explain the healing value of tae food but for some Teason, although it has taken nearly a year, I have recovered my health and the change is entirely at tributable to Grape-Nuts food, for I long ago quit medicine. 1 eat only Grape Nuts for breakfast and lunch. eon, but at my night dinner I have an assorted meal.” Name furnished | by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. NEVER SAW SUCH LARGE YiELps The Climate ts Healthy—The Winters Are Pleasant in Western Canaa- Writing from Stirling, Alberta, to ‘one of the agents representing ‘ths Canadian Government free homesteay lands, Mr. M. Pickrell, formerly of Beechwood, Ky., says of Western Can. ada: “In the first place we will say that the summer season is just lovely in. deed. As to the winter, well, we neyar experienced finer weather than we aro now enjoying. We have just returned from Northern Alberta, and will say that we found the weather to be yery mild, the air dry, fresh and invigorat. ing. Considering everything we can say that the winters here are most pleasant, healthy and enjoyable to what they are in the States. Here it gets cold and continues so till spring there are no disagreeable winds. In South Alberta it is some warmer—two to four inches of snow may fall and in a few hours a Chinook wind comes along, evaporating the entire snow leaving terra firma perfectly dry; in fact, we did not believe this part until we came and saw for ourselves and we now know what we herein write to be just as we write it. There has not been a day this winter that I could not work out doors. Farmers here are calculating on starting the plow the first of March. “As to farm wages, we would not advise a man to come here with the expectation of living by his day's work, but all who do want a home | advise to have nerve enough to get up and come, for there never has been. and may never be again, such a grand opportunity for a man to get a home almost free. “As to the crops, I have been in the fields before harvest, saw the grass put up and the grain harvested, and | never saw such large yields. I saw oats near Edmonton over six feet tail that yielded 80 bushels per acre, and | talked to a farmer rear St. Albert who had a field year before last that aver- aged 110 bushels per acre and weighed 43 pounds to the bushel. All other crops would run in proportion—as to potatoes and vegetables, the turnout was enormous. I have such reports as the above from all sections that | have visited, and that has been every community between the Edmonton dis- trict and Raymond, in the Lethbridge district. “As to stock raising, I would ad- vise a man to locate in this place, or any place, in South Alberta, but for mixed farming I would say go up farther north, say near Lacombe, We- taskiwin or Edmonton, where it is not quite so dry and where there 1s some timber to be had. I will say that no- where have I ever seen a better oppor- tunity for a man, whether he has money or not, to obtain a home. No- where can be found a more productive soil, better water and a better gov- erned country than Western Canada affords. Inducements to the home- seeker are unexcelled. I met two men near Ponoka on the ©. & KE. R. R, who borrowed the money to pay for their homestead, and in four years those two inen sold their farms—one for $2,500, the other for $3,000. I met @ man near Wetaskiwin who landed here with 25 cents six years ago. He is now worth $8,000. The advantages for ranching are excellent. In fact, I do not believe this section can be beat. Markets are good; as to living, a family can live as cheap here as they can in the States. The averase yield of oats in this neighborhood last year was 70 bushels per acre; wheat averaged 5, barley 40, and the beet crop was good. In consequence of the successful cultivation of the bect a large beet sugar factory is being erected at Raymond, seven miles from here. “In conclusion I will say that N. W. T. from Manitoba to a long distance north of Edmonton produces most won- derful crops. Lakes and rivers abound with fish, and game is plentiful. And that this is unquestionably the coun- try for a man to come to if he desires to better his condition in life. I would advise the prospective settler to look over the Lethbridge, Lacombe, Wetas- kiwin and Edmonton districts before locating. “I will locate in the Edmonton dis- trict ‘mext fall and several families from the States will locate with me. In the meantime I will receive my mail here and will be pleased to give the interested all the information de sired.” For information as to railway rates ete., apply to any agent of the Cana dian Government, whose name appear? elsewhere in thie nancr Bachelors are birds of freedom en~ vied by the caged ones—so a bachelor Says. “The Klean, Kool Kitchen Kind” of stoves make no smoke, smell, soot, ashes or ¢x cessive heat.

In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, she says: "Last spring my blood seemed clogged up, my digestion poor, my head ached and I felt languid and tired all the time. My physician prescribed for me, but a friend advised me to try Peruna. I tried it and am pleased to state that I found it a wonderful cleanser and purifier of the system. In three weeks I was like a new woman, my appetite had increased, I felt buoyant, light and happy and without an ache or pain. Peruna is a reliable family medicine."

POULTRY Inevitable Mistakes No one that has not had experience in poultry raising should invest heavily in that business. The only safe way is to start small and increase the flock as rapidly as experience increases. The novice generally starts in with the firm resolve to succeed from the start. Frequently he gets all the information he can from books and from practical poultrymen, and he vainly imagines that the information so acquired will save him from mistakes. But the mistakes are made just the same, though they are doubtless fewer on account of what has been gleaned from the experiences of others. People must have experience by themselves to really fit them to cope with the numerous situations they must face. Let the novice set it down or a certainty that he will make mistakes of a most serious nature, and that as a result of such mistakes great losses will result. In some cases these losses will be greater than the profits for the entire year in which they occur. We tell the novice of this before they occur, so that he may not be entirely discouraged and give up the effort when they do occur. Even people that have been brought up on farms encounter these discouraging experiences when they try to handle fowls in considerable numbers. The ones that have had a little experience in raising poultry are the ones most likely to invest considerable sums in an equipment before they are really competent to manage such equipment. Because they have had some experience they imagine themselves to be experts. Most of the failures are due to inexperience, but the people that have failed are not usually willing to admit this even to themselves. Even the farm boy that has fed chickens and gathered eggs since childhood will do well to go a little slow when he enters the ranks of professional chicken raisers, for it hurts less to lose 50 per cent of a flock of a hundred than it does to lose a like proportion of a thousand fowls. Housing Ducks. From the Farmers' Review: We hear a great deal these days about poultry in general. The Pekin duck has been well discussed in poultry and farm papers, and yet no two writers agree to the care of ducks. Perhaps some of the readers of this paper will be interested in how we house our 500 breeders in winter and house our ducklings to marketable age. Our duck houses are built single wall 4 feet high in front, 7 feet in back, with tar paper roof. Windows are in the roof, to correspond with pens inside. We mate 20 ducks to a pen 10x10—16 females, 4 males. From June to October our ducks sleep out of doors, rain or shine. Of course they must have shade in hot weather. Our ducklings are kept in brooders till 3 weeks of age in a special duck brooder house, with window every 4 feet on side. Ducks for market are sold at 10 weeks old; those kept for breeders are not turned out from the brooder house for the lake of water until 16 weeks old. They must then have shade and a light protection from the heavy rains. A duck brooder house should be built warm, while a house for breeding ducks need not be so, as a duck has a very heavy covering of feathers. The main thing is that they have straw to keep their feet warm. During the laying season our ducks are not let out of houses until 8 a. m.; by this time all are through laying.—Clement & Fike, Lake County, Illinois. Photographing on Apples. Photographing on Apples. Thornwell Haynes, United States consul at Rouen, France, in a report says: Apples upon the surface of which are perfectly reproduced the photographs of the emperor and empress of Russia and of the president of the French republic have been shown in France. Before photography was employed, images were produced by means of figures cut from paper and stuck on the surface. When the paper was removed, the image appeared light and the fruit dark or vice versa, according to the manner in which the paper was cut and applied. At present, however, photographs are reproduced with all their details. Strong negative electrotypes are employed having great resistance and reproduced on their films. The films are obtained by photographing the subject many times. The film is held in place by two rubber rings or is stuck by some matter that will not obstruct the rays of light, such as albumen or the white of an egg. It pays to make first-class butter but it is also necessary that the maker should know how to get first-class prices for it. The man that takes his butter to the corner grocery and sells it at the same price his neighbors are getting for poor butter has not yet learned how to get the most out of his product. The Watering or Lawns. It is a familiar fact that a lawn which was once watered during a dry season will have to be frequently watered or the grass will suffer oftentimes more than if it had not been watered at all. The first watering induces a superficial root development which must be supplied frequently with water. The American dentist expelled from Saxony cannot want for a compensating joy when he considers the certificate of character publicly given by his wife. "My husband is a perfect man; he has absolutely no vices." Many men believe themselves deserving of such a testimonial, but how few, alas! have got their deserts.

From Infancy To Age BABY WOMAN WOMAN Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective remedy for children because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because its tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent catharsis that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fever it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. "My baby is 4 months old and is teething. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through perforation under his knee care. When I saw he was getting worse, I stopped catharsis him, injected with a small dose of colic worm medicine, and used to scream when he had a touch of it. I did not know what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I gave it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and he her jets pretty fair all night. He is a great deal better now than when he had him LAXAKOLA, and I think if it had not given him else to their sick babies." Laxakola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been found invaluable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause. To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure. What Mrs. Eloy Pugh, E. Palestine, O., Row 125, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901. Received your free sample, it has done so much good, send me a 40c. bottle." March 28, "Bottle came sale, did he a lot of good, druggist here don't keep it, so enclosed is 40c. please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 6th, "Enclosed is 40c. for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done me much good." Laxakola for Old Folks.-In the Autumn and Winter of Life, when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate by some remedy best adapted to that purpose. So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properly and the liver and kidneys are active and strong, your food is assimilated properly, your blood is kept pure and rich, and your nerves are strong. The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up. That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system in a condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy. Laxakola Does It. Blotched, sallow, unwholesome and muddy skin, with its consequent mortification, often leading to morbid seclusion and aversion and aversion to blood. The only way to clear the complexion and restore it to its normal healthy, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system, purify the blood and remove the blood clot. Pale, Weak, Run-down, Overworked Mothers with Fretty Children, half sick, nervous, tired out with household and material needs, in turpid with blotched, muddy, sallow complexions, blood thin and impure, need building up and a thorough renovation of their systems.

LAXAKOIA is a gentle and safe remedy to use in conditions of health of the genius, the peculiar and delicate skin, to mild and efficient laxative and tonic, and is valuable in assisting to relieve obstructions which otherwise would lead to more or less severe pain or illness. LAXAKOLA acts as a tonic to the whole female system, strengthening the organs and purifying the blood. It will cure the most confirmed case of constipation.

ALL CASES OF DEAFNESS OR HARD HEARING ARE NOW CURABLE by our new invention. Only those born deaf are incurable. HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Gentlemen — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be held at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I met my hearing in this ear entirely. I received a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a man of physician, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help. It was only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would improve. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a new York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. Very truly yours, F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation. Examination and advice free. YOU CAN CURE YOURSELF AT HOME at a nominal cost. INTERNATIONAL AURAL (7), INIC, 596 LA SALLE AVE., CHICAGO, ILL.
