The Republican state convention of Kansas for 1904 has come and gone, and many were the expectancies of its coming, but very few were the surprises wrought by it. To-day the great republican party of Kansas finds itself in the hands of new leaders The old leaders have been vunquished by the mighty winds of public opinion put into execution at the state conventions which passed into Kansas history Wednesday night The work of the old or former leaders is well known, but what the work of the new or present leaders will be time must be the judge. While strife and contention was on feature of the convention yet there are none willing to assert that the results will not meet with success at the polls. At this convention the originalito of Kansas was again manifested. The convention and its works fully demonstrates that Kansas is the state where things are done. Once the Kansas people believe their rights are being curtailed, once the believe they are mistreated, then it is that the Kansan will rise up in his might and will dare strike the blow that he himself might be free. No people are more noble, none grander, none truer, none more firmer, none more charitable, none more human than in Kansas, the land where the spirit of human freedom was first inspired in Kansas, where calamities have been bred; in Kansas where statesmen, poets, financiers and scholars are reared, yes in Kansas, the land of the free and the home of the brave, another precedent; another marvel has been wrought—the nomination of Hon. E. W. Hoch of Marion for Governor by acclamation marks an unknown precedent in the history of politics. Aside from these thing there was little else of note. The remainder of the state officers were re nominated, all except T. T. Kelley, for state treasurer, by acclamation. Governor. E. W. Hoch ..... Marion Lieutenant Governor. D. J. Hanna .....

Anthropologically speaking consecration is to dedicate, and hallow some things by uniting, or sacramenting into or giving it over to the thing to which it is consecrated; or the object of its consecration. 1 Sam. 1-3. Samuel said unto Israel "If ye do return to the Lord with all your hearts, then put away your strange gods, and Ashtoreth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord and serve him only? Thus the church is set apart from profane uses. Ye are the salt of the earth; ye are as a lighted city established on the mount of absolute faith; be ye holy as I am holy." The church is placed in conjunction with God as his habitation. Chosen generation, royal priesthood, peculiar nation. Men and women are consecrated to his service in the sanctuary and become united to God by special and specific ties or obligations. We are all consecrated to God in holy baptism, and by this consecration became pledged to his love and service. SACRAMENTING OF BAPTISM. Obedience unto the baptism of water is a public declaration that we have espoused the cause of Christ, and that our hearts are open to his grace and will, and that we will serve, honor and obey God. We by this act of obedience, enter into an agreement with Christ to renounce the devil and all his works; the vain pomp and glory of the world, with all covetous desires of the same, and the carnel desires of the flesh, and that we will not follow nor be led by them. We became hallowed and united to Christ and were made christians from being children of of wrath. By an act of consecration, therefore, something is added to us, either some new relation is entered into, or a closer affinity is brought about between us and the person to whom we have been voluntarily consecrated to. It stands to reason that when we deliberately and by free will consecrate ourselves to God, a relation is entered into with him that will be fruitful to us in effects and graces. These will be dependent in great measures upon the sincerity, the earnestness and love with which the consecration is made John 8-31-32-15-14. An act of consecration is, therefore, not a mere ceremony, but a gift which inspires an acceptance.

Patronage Solicited- morning of the 19th century, that all should consecrate yourselves to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, not as though we had never been consecrated to him in baptism, and by many acts of personal dedication to his service, but I suggest this as a renewal of solemn homage, a fresh pledge of sincerity and devotion, a public act, in which all men without exception shall be invited to take part so far as they have the knowledge and will to do so. I am satisfied in believing that if men according to the best of their intelligence and will, will consecrate themselves to Jesus Christ, many and great graces and blessings will be poured out on christendom and upon human society. It is obvious, of course, that the majority of mankind has never even heard of Jesus Christ; that many who have deided his claim and rejected his authority and that there are multitudes even of Christians living in open rebellion against his sovereignty, as Sophis or Agnostics. Such names reject his love and brave the dangers of moral depravity of God, the Father. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to die for the remission of our sins." Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments." The com- ' UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. ' Braitsch's 120 E. Douglas Avenue.

To the Searchlight: Dear Editor—I thought I would write a few lines to your valua- ble paper. First—Because it is published by a colored man. Seconp—Because it is for the colored people. Tairp—Because it is needed by the colored people, and Fourtu—Because it should be in every colored home When we look back into his- tory afew years we find that the colored people were not allowed to read newspapers, and the thought of having the privilege of reading a newspaper publish- ed by a colored man was never dreamed. But suppose the Negroes of those days had been allowed to read newspapers and publish Negro newspapers do you think slavery would have lasted as long as it did? I say No!! It would have been impossible. Had they have been allowed to read Negro papers they would have better understood each other and human slavery weuld have long melted away. The only way by which we can have union and strength to-day is to understand each other, and the greatest way to understand each other is to read Negro journals The day has been far past when we should longer sleep and fail to improve our talents. We have some of the talents which were given to man, now let us take hold of ev- ery opportunity to improve them. We may goto school, but is that all? No! When we come out we |must take hold of thingsin this world to help the world to move on. If we plant a patch of corn and go away and not tend it we cannot expect a rich harvest, the seed would be wasted. It is with the good deeds, the improv- ment of every good thing for the race that will make us a great people, mighty and strong. We must take hold of every good project which tends to the bet- terment of our people and our race and help make ita success. There is nothing which can help the race more than a good, live up-to-date Negro paper publish- ed in every community, and we cannot have a good Negro paper unless we give it our whole sup- port. Itis the only medium by which the Negro can make his wants known. Throughout the press we have power, when we have no press we have no power. The Negro paners of to-day are man‘fully standing up for the race and the race question. Wichita has the good fortune to have one of these Negro jour- nals—The Wichita Searchlight— which is every day doing an he- roic workin the interest of our race. Let every colored person put his shoulder to the wheel and help make the Searchlight a great power among our people and help it to successfully play its part in the great race ques- tion of today. It is a glorious thing to be eupplied each week with the news of the race and can sit leisurely and read it from our own dine and fig tree. We have lived to see the Searchlight pass through five successful years of regular and constant publication in our city and she is still climbing. And it is the hope of all that 500 years will not be her limit as the good full of bright news items is to supply them.

EB, Woodsof Kingman is in the city, LIVE STOCK It has been assumed that all good animals had the power to reproduce in their offspring the good qualities possessed by themselves, under the operations of the general law that like produces like. But when we get down to statistics, it is discovered that this theory cannot be entirely relied upon in breeding operations. A careful compilation of figures goes to show that a very large number of animals of high quality are poorly provided with ability to transmit such qualities to their offspring. But here and there are animals that, being high in quality, are able to transmit the quality for which they are noted to all their offspring, or, at least, to a very large percentage of them. It therefore becomes necessary for the breeders of live stock to discover which are the animals that will do this. There have been horses remarkable for speed that yet were unable to produce colts with like powers of speed, while now and then a speedy horse appears that can produce offspring with like powers as himself. The same truth runs through all the breeds of live stock. The work of educating man along this line has just begun. The pedigrees of 34,000 race horses have been tabulated, and their get also investigated. Of these 34,000 trotters, only a little over 100 were able to produce numerous offspring having speed qualities. The difficulty with such an investigation is that the real value of a horse can not be known till he is dead. Thus, Hambletonian Ten died, a cart horse in Kentucky, before the world had discovered his wonderful ability to get speed in his offspring. Our stockmen are now taking up the study in earnest and are making records of the get of various animals, as to the qualities of such get. Thus, in selecting a bull to head the Holstein herd, the University of Illinois selected one whose offspring and sisters and female relatives had proven good milkers. It was not enough that the animal himself had the proper conformation. The tendency of such an investigation is to put at the head of the flocks and herds mature animals. This is a movement that can go on but slowly, as it must require the labor of thousands of men and must take years of time to arrive at a conclusion of much weight; but when once arrived at the conclusion is worth all it costs. A generation of this kind of labor is sure to greatly modify the live stock industry and develop it along the most prepotent lines. Growth of Live Stock Associations. During the past ten years there has been a remarkable growth in the number and influence of live stock associations. Ten years ago there were few improved live stock breeders' associations, and what there were held conventions generally slimly attended. But new associations were organized in different states and the interest has steadily grown. The conventions have steadily increased in interest, till now some of them have taken on the aspect of college courses of short duration. The meat-cutting demonstrations have become prominent features and such demonstrations are attended by hundreds of people instead of by scores. The whole range of influence of the associations has been enlarged. As a result the chief factors in stock raising have been investigated as never before. Even things that were considered as settled are being again considered and the truth is being discovered. There is a great tendency to consolidate these associations, or, at least, to combine them into leagues along certain lines. As an example note the Illinois Live Stock Breeders' Association, which is composed of four others devoted to the raising of cattle, hogs, horses and sheep. Two great national associations were formed, but one went out of existence to leave a clear field to the other, which now includes over 100 live stock associations of various kinds. The growth of these associations has had a stimulating effect on the live stock industry. The amount of light that has been let in on the dark places has made it very difficult for unreliable men to do business in the rearing and selling of live stock. It has made it easier for the men that are honest and wish to do business in a way that meets the approval of their fellow-men. Such is always the result of light. These associations are certain to become more powerful from year to year and to mightily affect all phases of the live stock industry. Every stockman should realize their benefit and ally himself with some of them. By so doing he will get good and do good. Winter Pigs. Why more winter pigs are not raised is explained by the general impression prevailing among hog raisers that winter pigs do not pay. This is due to the lack of equipment for the raising of winter pigs both as to the houses in which they are to be kept and the food for their support. It is certain that if a man would raise winter pigs he must plan for it long before the time comes for breeding the sows for fall litters; for he must insure a supply of nitrogenous feed to take the place of the green grass that the spring litters get. Winter pigs will pay when there are proper arrangements for their care. mand is obligatory. 1 John 2-15. love not the world; if any man love the world the love of the F ther is not in him. Rom. 12-2.

If ye then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above where Christ sit-teth on the right hand of God.

Whosoever will be a friend of the word is the enemy world is the enemy of God. Love the Lord thy God with all of thy heart, mind and strength, and with all thy soul, and thy neighbor as thyself. One word more as to the meaning of this expression, the sacred hearts of Jesus. We do not divide Christ or worship him automatically, as men have profanely said. The consecration proposed to us by the Holy Father is a consecration of ourselves to the person of Jesus Christ under his most attractive, most sympathetic; God is a god of love, who never ceases to say to each one of us son, daughter, give me thy heart and let thine eyes observe my ways. God, the Father must be the speaker directing the eyer of regenerate son to his ways in Christ. No other father has a right to make the demand or so confidentially to direct his own way for the guidance of his son. We should everyone consecrate ourselves to the service of God not to man. It is true the apostle thanked God that the people gave themselves to the preacher to be led but the speaker first consecrated himself to the Lord and the people through themselves he has paid for his leadership. The consecration of our love because of the loving affection lavished upon us. FATHER BY CEEATION. These belong to God because he has all power over heavens and earth, and condesended to desire that they should belong to him by another title, by a voluntary surrender of themselves to his service.

It is one year old when born, and another year is added on its first New Year's day. A Physician's Advice. Yorktown, Ark., March 7th.—Dodd's Kidney Pills must not be confounded with the ordinary patent medicine. They are a new discovery, a specific for all diseases of the Kidneys and have been accepted by physicians only after careful tests in extreme cases. Dr. Leland Williamson, of this place heartily indorses Dodd's Kidney Pills "as a remedy for the various forms of the diseases of the Kidneys, pains in the back, soreness in the region of the Kidneys, foul-smelling urine and cloudy or thickened condition of the urine, discharges of pus or corruption. Gout, Rheumatism, Inflammation and Congestion of the Kidneys and all kindred complaints." Continuing he says: "I could mention many cases in which I have prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills with success. For instance, Mr. Robert Weeks, farmer, malaria, haematuria or swamp fever three times, kidneys weakened, continual pain and soreness in back, which made him very nervous, had a little fever and sometimes chilly. Urine changeable, but generally very high-colored; an old chronic case who had taken much medicine with little effect. After taking Dodd's Kidney Pills about six weeks he was entirely cured and had gained fifteen pounds in weight. The last time I saw him he was the picture of perfect manhood."

Calamitous Results That Followed the Adoption of This Policy in 1892 Would Repeat Themselves—Workingmen Will Do Well to Remember. The boom of William Randolph Hearst for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1904 may be said to have been launched at a mass meeting held in Washington on the 13th of August. The ambitious individual in whose behalf this movement has been organized is the reputed possessor of a fortune of several millions of dollars, represented, in great part, by a number of daily newspapers, whose columns appear to be chiefly consecrated to the destruction of wealth belonging to other people. It is upon this platform that Mr. Hearst hopes to reach the Presidency. At present he is merely a Tammany Congressman from a New York city district. In journalism he enjoys the distinction of issuing each day in four different cities the very worst lot of newspapers of large circulation and vicious influence known in any part of the civilized world. Upheaval, revolution, anarchy, assassination if need be, seem to be the guiding principles in these publications. The mass meeting of August 13 in Washington was ostensibly engineered by persons claiming to represent organized labor. In the name of American labor the Hearst presidential boom is thrust forward. By appealing to the unreason and the passions of American wage earners it is hoped to realize the political ambition of a man whose program and platform involve the ruin of labor and industry. "Down with All Trusts!" That is the battle cry of the Hearst boomers. How shall the trusts be downed? By the repeal of the Dingley tariff and the establishment of free trade. That is the trust remedy chiefly relied upon, almost wholly relied upon. When the protective tariff is swept away the trusts will disappear. Such is the Hearst promise and plan. Take free trade out of the Hearst propaganda and nothing remains. Workingmen.who are now employed all the year round at the highest wage rate ever known in this or any other country, wage earners whose deposits in savings banks have increased in the past six years of a protective tariff from less than $2,000,000,000 to nearly $3,000,000,000 are expected to rally to the support of a political movement whose ultimate aim is to wreck all industry and stop all prosperity. The work people and wage earners did something of this kind in 1892, and paid the penalty in loss of employment and wages, in the melting away of accumulated savings, in the poverty, hunger and untold sufferings of themselves and their wives and children. Evidently the Hearst boomers think American workingmen have short memories.—American Economist. SIGNIFICANT ADMISSION. British Acknowledgment of the Value of Protection. We confess that we never expected to see the officials of Great Britain deliberately furnish the Republican party of this country with the most convincing arguments in favor of protection. The Cobden club is knocked into a cocked hat, and the Anti-Cobden club of the Nineteenth ward—that patriotic band of intellectual political economists, should at their next meeting make a minute of the subject. Important as was the announcement of Premier Balfour, the official statements of the board of trade, which is a government institution, are much more so. They announce that protection does protect; that, in spite of the fact that wages in this country are more than double those in Great Britain, the amount of exports of manufactured goods to this country has greatly decreased, while our manufactured exports to that country are increasing rapidly. The same applies to all protected nations, so that Great Britain is declared to be in a disadvantageous position, especially as the United States can, so soon as there is a lull in local demand, flood Great Britain with goods at much lower rates. The first duty of a nation is to look after the welfare of its own citizens. That is what we have done. In establishing protection we have not only accomplished all that the Republican party ever claimed, but have confounded our opponents here and abroad. The British government officially announces that our policy has been a successful one and will be of great injury to its own people unless retaliatory measures are taken. Which is why we remark once more that we never expected in our day to see Great Britain, the apostle of free trade, acknowledge its own defeat and our own success. What will the Democratic party say to this in the next campaign? It seems cruel that they are deprived of their only stock argument, but facts are necessarily cruel things when opposed to fallacious theories—Philadelphia Inquirer. Can the Democracy Get Right? The Democratic party in Congress, under the leadership of Senator Gorman, has engaged in systematic opposition to the increase of the navy—to any increase of the navy. The Democrats admit that their policy is futile. It is astonishing that they do not see that it is also sulcidally foolish. The United States has a greater extent of seacoast than any other nation except the British empire. Furthermore, the United States is pledged by its unvarying policy for three-quarters of a century, and by the firmest convictions of its people, to the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine. When the Monroe Doctrine is attacked, as it will be unless the United States make itself so strong and ready that none will dare attack it, the attack will be made by sea power. To ward off such attack the United States must have sea power. Yet the United States to-day ranks only fifth among the nations of the world in sea power. And of the four nations whose fleets surpass that of the United States three would gain greatly by breaking down the Monroe Doctrine. These are the fundamental facts of the situation. These facts were never more widely appreciated by the American people, nor were the consequences of a failure in sea power ever more clearly understood, than they are today. Yet the national Democracy, through its representatives in Congress, now attack the sea power of the nation and seeks to prevent its growth. Under pretense of working for peace Democratic Congressmen advocate a policy that would make war certain.

There is no abatement of real prosperity when the general public goes on making money and saving some of it. The speculative gambler may be rolling in wealth or one may be absolutely poverty stricken, and neither the one condition nor the other reflects the situation of the general public and the country. Something that does, unfailingly and emphatically, is the total of the savings banks deposits—the surplus wealth of the general public when we had "hard times" with the advent of the Wilson law, savings banks deposits first ceased to increase and then actually decreased. From 1893 to 1894 they fell nearly $40,000,000, or to a total of $1,747,961,000. By 1802 they had risen to $2,750,000,000. Controller Ridgley's report showed that the total of the savings banks deposits is now. $2,935,204,845. From the experts who "went broke" in speculative excesses we hear that national prosperity turned downward in 1901. In that year the savings banks deposits were $2,597,000,000, so that since that time to now there has been a gain of nearly $400,000,000. This gain, since the "turn of prosperity," is larger than the gain from 1892 to 1898. It is as large as the gain from 1895 to 1899, larger than the gain from 1898 to 1900, when the boom was indeed booming, as no one will deny. Nearly three billions of savings banks deposits to-day—nearly twice what we had in 1894—does not look as if the general public were yet quit of prosperity. Nor will it be, if this nation continues a policy which keeps our industries protected against foreign industries and our wage earners against foreign wage earners.—New York Press. More Work for the Policeman The Journal's prediction that the United States would soon have to exercise police power over the semisavage republics of San Domingo and Hayti is being swiftly fulfilled. A delayed cablegram from San Domingo says that marines from the Newark and Columbia have had a pitched battle lasting three hours with the insurgents, who were routed without the loss of even one American life. The insurgents began the trouble by firing on the launch of the Newark and on a commercial steamship owned in New York. Four hundred marines were promptly landed under cover of the guns of the Newark and the Columbia, which shelled the insurgent camp; and they engaged the Domingans, who lost two of their generals killed, one wounded, several officers captured, and sixteen men killed and wounded. After inflicting this punishment the United States forces withdrew and the Newark sailed for Guantanamo. Evidently the situation in San Domingo is becoming intolerable. The barbarian degenerates who inhabit that part of the island are only one degree better than the negroes who compose the population of Hayti. They are not fit to govern themselves, and they are becoming a menace to the peace of the whole Caribbean region. The United States can not long permit this state of affairs to continue almost within hailing distance of its island possessions. It is bound by every consideration of selfish interest, as well as by every moral obligation to the family of nations, to put an end to it. We do not want the island of Hayti, but for the sake of our commerce we must take such police measures there as will prevent any further disturbances. It is a satire on our civilization that at our very doors one of the fairest and richest islands of the sea is become the prey of savages in perpetual riot, many of them sunk in superstition and barbarism not found elsewhere on earth outside of the Australian bush and the interior of darkest Africa. It is time that the United States interfered to police this island. We can not permit any other nation to do so, and it must be done.—Chicago Journal WESTERN CANADA'S RESOURCES Farming Very Successful. By Western or Northwest Canada is usually meant the great agricultural country west of Ontario, and north of Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. Part of it is agricultural prairie, treeless in places, park like in others, part is genuine plains, well adapted to cattle ranches; part requires irrigation for successful tillage, most of it does not. The political divisions of this region are the Province of Manitoba and the territorial district of Assinibola, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Athabaska. At present, however, the latter is too remote for immediate practical purposes. The general character of the soil of Western Canada is a rich, black, clay loam with a clay subsoil. Such a soil is particularly rich in food for the wheat plant. The subs soil is a clay, which retains the winter frost until it is thawed out by the warm rays of the sun and drawn upward to stimulate the growth of the young wheat, so that even in dry seasons wheat is a good crop. The clay soil also retains the heat of the sun later in the summer and assists in the early ripening of the grain. It is claimed that cultivation has the effect of increasing the temperature of the soil several degrees, as well as the air above it. Western Canada climate is good—cold in winter, hot in summer, but with cool nights. Violent storms of any kind are rare. The rainfall is not heavy. It varies with places, but averages about 17 inches. It falls usually at the time the growing crops need it. The Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, has agents established at different points throughout the United States who will be pleased to forward an Atlas of Western Canada and give such other information as to railway rate, etc., as may be required. That agriculture in Western Canada pays is shown by the number of testimonials given by farmers. The following is an extract made from a letter from a farmer near Moose Jaw: "At the present time I own sixteen hundred acres of land, fifty horses and a large pasture fenced containing a thousand acres. These horses run out all winter and come in in the spring quite fat. A man with money, judiciously expended will make a competence very shortly. I consider in the last six years the increase in the value of my land has netted me forty thousand dollars." When Pneumonia Holds Sway. During the months from November to April one-fifth of all deaths In the large cities of the United States are from pneumonia -while only one-ninth are from consumption. Moscow's Rich Churches There are 1,800 churches in Moscow. They are the wealthiest churches in the world. One, St. Savior's, cost 28,000,000 rubles—nearly $14,000,000—to build. The Russian church is the nation's great wealth storehouse—the nest egg which will be hatched out when the great crisis comes. Odd Things About Thibet. Thibet is no temptation to the greediest of nations. Save for a little patch in the south and east, it is a barren land. Gold in insignificant quantities is washed down in the sands of the rivers. This, the lamas teach, is the flower of which the buried nuggets are the roots. To remove the nuggets would "diminish the vitalizing fluids of the earth," so mining is not allowed. American Empress. The empress of Korea is an American. She was Miss Emily Brown, daughter of a missionary, and for some time lady-in-waiting to the late Empress Miu, who was mysteriously murdered in 1895. After that event the emperor invited Miss Brown to enter his harem. She declined. He then offered to make her his empress, and she accepted. ON A RANCH. Woman Found the Food That Fitted Her. A newspaper woman went out to a Colorado ranch to rest and recuperate and her experience with the food probably is worth recounting. "The woman at the ranch was preeminently the worst housekeeper I have ever known—poor soul, and poor me! "I simply have to have food good and plenty of it, for I had broken down from overwork and was so weak I could not sit up over one hour at a time. I knew I could not get well unless I secured food I could easily digest and that would supply the greatest amount of nourishment. "One day I obtained permission to go through the pantry and see what I could find. Among other things I came across a package of Grape-Nuts which I had heard of but never tried. I read the description on the package and become deeply interested, so then and there I got a saucer and some cream and tried the famous food. "It tasted delicious to me and seemed to freshen and strengthen me greatly so I stipulated that Grape-Nuts and cream be provided each day instead of other food, and I literally lived on Grape-Nuts and cream for two or three months. "If you could have seen how fast I got well it would have pleased and surprised you. I am now perfectly well and strong again and know exactly how I got well and that was on Grape-Nuts that furnished me a powerful food I could digest and make use of. "It seems to me no brain worker can afford to overlook Grape-Nuts after my experience." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Get the miniature book, "The Road to Welville" in each rk.

Citizens of Manchester, England, are complizining bitterly and writing to the papers because the conductors on the tram cars "squeeze twenty persons into seats constructed for eighteen," and worse still, "allow some people to stand up." Comet Loses Tail In the accident to Borrellly's comet a section of the head broke from the tail and traveled away at the rate of twenty-nine miles a second in a retrograde direction. The comet showed that the tail actually moved out from the head as a luminous stream, which remained visible for hours after its supply from the head had ceased. More Women Ministers In less than ten years the number of women Congregationalist ministers has doubled, there being now in different parts of the United States fifty-three who have been regularly ordained by councils of Congregational churches and who are doing practically the full work of the ministry. They are found in twenty states and territories, with a preponderating number, however, in the Western states. H. T. Eve, the Liberal candidate for parliament in Devonshire, England, has a pretty and a very ready wit. Some short time ago he was cross-examining a chemical expert, and, asking how a certain thing should be described, the expert answered "as an isolated radical." Quick as lightning came the response from Mr. Eve: "Then I suppose the symbol is H. C. B." (Henry Campbell-Bannerman).

"Young Women: — I had frequent headaches of a severe nature, dark spots before my eyes, and at my menstrual periods I suffered untold agony. A measure of the lodge advised me to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, but I only scorned good advice and felt that my case was hopeless, but she kept at me until I bought a bottle and started talking it. I soon had the best reason in the world to change my opinion of the medicine, as each day my health improved, and finally I was entirely without pain at my menstruation periods.

When we introduced this remarkable grass three years ago, little did we dream it would be the most talked-of grass in America, the biggest, quick, hay producer on earth; but this has come to pass. Edrators wrote about it, Agr. College Professors, lectured about it, Agr. College Farmers, worked in the farm home by the quiet fireside, in the corner grocery, in the village postoffice, at the creamery, at the depot; in fact wherever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dollar Grass, that wonderful grass, good for 1 to 14 tons per acre, and lots of pasture besides, is always a theme worthy of the farmer's voice. Then comes Bromus Inermis, than which there is no better grass or better permanent hay producer on earth. The farmer talks about it is found. Then the farmer talks about its sine, which will produce 100 stocks from one kernel of seed, 11 ft. high, in 100 days, rich in nutrition and greedily eaten by cattle, hogs, etc., and is good for 80 tons of green food per acre. Victoria Rape, which can be grown at 25c a ton, and Speltz at 20c a bu, both great food for cattle, also come in for their share in the discussion. JUST SEND 100 IN STAMPS and this notice to John A.

The technical papers in Norway are discussing an electro magnetic gun, invented by Professor Birkeland, in which the electric current is utilized as the propelling force to throw the shell. Its merits would seem to be lightness, cheapness and the fact that the barrel would not be liable to overheating, as is the case when an ordinary weapon is fired rapidly. The shell is saturated with magnetism before being placed in the gun, which consists of a series of coils, energized by a powerful dynamo, and whose purpose is to exert a pulling force on the shell. As the latter begins to traverse the barrel the coils are automatically thrown out of circuit one after another, by means of a set of cutouts actuated by the shell, in order that the coils may not exert any appreciable influence on the rear end of the shell as it passes. By the time the shell reaches the muzzle of the gun it has been given a pull by each of the coils and has attained high velocity. Average Life of Seamen: The British Board of Trade has found out that the life of an average seaman is twenty-eight years.

He has made chronic catarrh a life-long study. His remedy, popularly known as Peruna, is the most famous remedy for catarrh in existence. Probably there is not a man or woman, boy or girl, within the bounds of the United States that has not heard of Peruna. By far the largest majority have used Peruna. The multitude of people that have been cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna can never be known.

Miss Flora Hauser. Miss Flora Hauser. Many a girl has regained her faded beauty, many a matron has lengthened the days of her comely appearance by using Peruna. Peruna produces clean mucous membranes, the base of facial symmetry and a perfect complexion. The women have not been slow to discover that a course of Peruna will do more toward restoring youthful beauty than all the devices known to science. While it is true that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located, yet it is advisable for everyone to use Peruna as a preventive and not wait until catarrh has fastened itself in some part of the system. Peruna acts quickly and beneficially on the inflamed mucous membranes lining the different organs of the body. Thus it will cure catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
