her cure as follows
I was an invalid for most five
years caused by Inflammatory Rheu
matism helpless two thirds of the
time The first year I could not do
as much as a baby could do then I
rallied a little bit and then a relapse
Then a year ago the gout set In my
hands and feet I suffered untold
agony and in August 1903 when my
husband died I could not ride to the
grvo
I only took two boxes of Dodds
Kidney Pills and in two weeks I
could wait on myself and saw my own
wood 1 dug my own potatoes and
gathered my own garden last fall
Dodds Kidney Pills cured me

ACCOEDING TO FACTS
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM STATE
MENTS ABSOLUTELY TRUE
History Proves That Tariff Reduction
Has Always Been Followed by Busi
ness Adversity While Higher Tar
iffs Have Brought Business Pros
perity
The only vulnerable point found In
the Republican platform from the
Democratic and Mugwump standpoint
is the sentence
A Democratic tariff has always
been followed by business adversity
a Republican tariff by business pros
perity
The statement might have been
worded a little differently and retained
the same meaning Platforms are not
details and planks are not elabora
tions Great underlying principles are
enunciated in the tersest possible way
never ambiguous to the honest inter
preter but sometimes capable of much
twisting by the demagogue Perhaps
for the benefit of our free traders the
sentence should have read
Tariff reduction has always been
followed by business adversity higher
tariffs by business prosperity
Tliis is what the plank means and
this is what the free traders know it
means and they also know that it is
true although the Springfield Republi
can howls liar and the New York
Times contents itself with menda
cious and silly while the Boston
Herald New York Evening Post and
their echoes think it positively shame
ful
The Springfield Republican goes to
the Tariff Hand Book of the Ameri
can Protective Tariff league and fixes
up one of the tables to suit itself For
instance it says
Act of Character
1S1C Free trade
State of business
Good times as a rule
up to 1S57
Reference to the files of the Repub
lican in the early fifties in both its
editorials and news columns will
show who is doing the lying at this
lion of the Republican party the party
of protection
In 181G the tariff was reduced and
adversity came
In 1824 tho tariff was Increased and
prosperity came
In 1828 the tariff was still further
increased and increased prosperity
was tho result
In 1833 the tariff was changed by a
measure calling for gradual reduc
tions and soon after the first reduc
tion business depression resulted and
when the second reduction was made
came panic and ruin
A high tariff was enacted in 1842
and with it came a return to prosper
ity
This brings us again to 1840 with
its reduction of duties and in spite
of most favorable attendant conditions
we soon found ourselves where Sam
uel Bowles cried to Congress for mer
cy and the Republican howled for a
return to protection But tho free
traders of the South knew their busi
ness and in 1857 came still lower du
ties and still more misery
That is in brief the story in a few
sentences which the above plank tells
in a few words And no amount of
squirming by free traders or cries of
liar and mendacious will change
history or alter facts
Every tariff reduction in our history
without exception has resulted in bus
iness depression and adversity and
every increase in the tariff without
exception has resulted in prosperity
That is the issue gentlemen and that
will give us the victory

point It is not necessary to thresh
over again the arguments concerning
the state of business under the tariff
of 1846 None but a few free traders
who consider that truth is a lie well
stuck to maintain that we had no hard
times under that tariff
But what about 1873 and 18S4 yells
the free trader We will say that Tin
der the Morrill tariff and war tariffs
we were doing splendidly until 1872
when it was thought best to make re
ductions and these reductions were
not only on a general 10 per cent
basis but many articles were put on
the free list It can be said further
that these reductions and transference
to the free list came at a very unfor
tunate time and aggravated by the
money situation brought about the
panic of 1873 and the business depres
sion which followed Duties as a
whole were however protective and
under the protection thus afforded we
recovered and went onward in the
march of prosperity and progress
But alas in 1SS3 there were Repub
licans with ideas and the result
was compromise and another vital re
duction of duties particularly in the
wool industry The free list was furth
er increased and again the result was
business depression from which how
ever we recovered because of the gen
oral protective character of the law
As the Republican admits hard
times under the tariff of 1894 we will
simply turn to the other side
In 1860 the Republicans found the
country and its industries paralyzed
Protection brought prosperity
In 1890 duties were increased and
prosperity increased with gigantic
strides
In 1897 the country and its people
were bankrupt and again a resort to
protection not only brought prosperity
but brought it in a measure unparal
leled in the history of nations

should always be the opening up of
new markets for the products of our
country by granting concessions to
the products of other lands that we
need and cannot produce ourselves
and which do not involve any loss of

increase their employment Free

Foundations of Poultry Houses
Flimsy foundations for poultry
houses should uever be tolerated in
construction The foundation has
much to do with the serviceability
of the structure Too often the foun
dation consists simply of the soil
The joists rest on the ground and
are subject to all the moisture that
permeates the soil summer and win
ter The water runs under the house
and never dries out It remains an
unhealthy plot of ground always ren
dering damp the iloor just above it
Sometimes the low space becomes a
harbor for all kinds of undesirable live
things liice rats snakes skunks and
even cats that prowl o nights What
ever the foundation is see that it is
firm enough so that it cannot be pene
trated and deep enough so that it
cannot be burrowed under
The construction of the foundation
will depend a good deal on whether
the building is to be permanent or not
If it is a temporary structure the
foundations cannot of course be made
expensive On the other hand if the
structure is to remain in one place
indefinitely it is better to build it
of brick stone or cement Just the
kind of material to be used will de
pend on the locality Thus a farmer
living on soil made of glacial drift
has a great surplus of stones which
can be utilized by being laid in ce
ment Often such material will cost
nothing but will prove very substan
tial A really good foundation should
be laid in a ditch carried down below
the frost line This will prevent heav
ing or settling of the building will
prevent the burrowing of animals and
will help to keep the cold from the
space under the floor if there be one
Whatever foundation is constructed
there should be some provision for
ventilation Small apertures should
be left which should be closed by inch
mesh wire This may be imbedded
permanently in the cement if desired
It might be profitable to use even a
closer wire as any mesh can be ob
tained The wire should be heavy
to insure permanency This ventila
tion is not needed if there is to be no
floor to the house as then there will
be a free access to the timbers on
the inside In the case of wooden
floors and wooden sills being used the
ventilation prevents rotting
The use of concrete is becoming
popular Many a farmer can construct
a concrete foundation without the help
of skilled labor He needs only to be
careful about the measurements and
fthe angles but most farmers have
squares and tape measures and foot
rules The concrete foundation should
be laid in a trench dug where the
foundation is to go care being used
to get the trench below the frost line
Then measure the angles and drive
down stakes Other stakes may be
driven in such position as to permit
boards being nailed against them along
where the foundation is to be laid
Two rows of boards should be laid
the thickness of the wall apart Then
tthe stones from the field or the river
can be mixed with the cement and
the wet mixture poured in The en
tire height of the wall may be laid
at one time or only in layers the
boards being lifted up after the ce
jment below has hardened enough to
hold its form The superstructure
should not be placed on this cement
foundation ill it has hardened suf
Ificiently to bear any ordinary weight
White Pekin Ducks
No ducks stand higher in popular
estimation than these They are said
to be the most easily raised of any
and can be grown in iarge numbers
m the same flock They were
ported from China in the early seven
ties The standard weight of the
vdrake is 8 pounds and of the mature
duck 7 pounds The Pekins are very
ilarge and frequently pairs will be
found that will weigh 20 pounds Their
flesh is very delicate and free ftom
grossness and they are among the
best of table fowls They are very
good layers and average from 100 to
125 eggs per season They do not gen
erally sit and their young are hardy
and easily raised
Every man that expect to show
birds this fall should take extra pre
cautions for their health Numerous
birds are lost every year because they
are not properly provided with coops
that protect them from drafts of cold
air after they have been heated up
Decayed food is fit only to be buried
in the ground out of sight or con
sumed in the fire It is not fit to be
given to fowls though this is the dis
posal often made of it
One of the principal advantages ot
raising ducks for market is their rapid
growth
The little chicks should be given
access to grit as well as the old hens

RACE DONE

A man who thought his race was
run made a food find that brought
him back to perfect health
One year ago I was unable to per
form any labor and in fact I was told j
i by my physicians that they could do
uothing further for me I was fast
sinking away for an attack of grip
had lett my stomach so weak it could
uot digest any food sufficient to keep
me alive
There I was just wasting away
growing thinner every day and weak
er really being snuffed out simply be-
gplsSt3gs I cause I could not get any nourishment
Then my sister got after me to
try Grape Nuts food which had done
much good for her and she finally per
suaded be and although no other food
had done me the least bit of good my
stomach handled the Grape Nuts from
the first and this food supplied the
nourishment I had needed In three
mouths I was so strong I moved from
cream every day I am strong and vig
orous and do fifteen hours work
I believe the sickest person in the
world could do as I do eat three
meals of nothing but Grape Nuts and
cream and soon be on their feet again
in the flush of best health like me
Not only am I in perfect physical
health again but my brain is stronger
and clearer than it ever was on the
old diet I hope you will write to the
names I send you about Grap Nuts
for I want to see my friends weil and
strong
