HOME-MADE REMEDY INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE. PARED BY ANYONE. Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and Overcome Kidney Trouble and Bladder Weakness Though Harm leos and Pleasant to Take. What will appear very Interesting to many people here Is the article taken from a New York dHlly paper, giving a simple prescription, as formu lated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found a positive rem edy to euro almost any case of back ache or kidney or bladder derange ment, In the following simple prescrip tion, If taken before the stage or Hright's disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound K argon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Snrsapnrilla, three ounces. Shak6 well In a bottle and take In teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A woll-known authority, when asked regarding tills prescription, stated that the Ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. lie further stated that while this prescription is often pre scribed in rheumatic a fillet ions with splendid results, he could see no rea son why It would not be a .splendid remedy for kidney and urinary trou bles and backache, as It has a peculiar action upon tho kidney structure, cleansing these most important or gans and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sick ness and suffering. Those who suffer can malco no mistake in giving It a trial. NOTHING HID FROM KAISER. How German Emperor Keeps in Touch with World's Affairs. Tho German emperor's interest in everything that goes on in the world is well known, but few are aware of the trouble he takes to keep in touch with current affairs. According to a Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads at least three papers every day, chang ing the list several times a week in order to become fully acquainted with the ideas of all political parties in tho state. Hut this by no means exhausts his appetite for information. Every day the ministry of foreign affairs, as fwell as that of tho Interior, has to pro 'vide newspaper cuttings, properly named and dated, and pasted on slips ready for tho emperor's perusal. These he carefully reads, making mar ginal notes as he goes along, and they are then scrupulously classified and put aside ready for immediate refer ence. Orten, too, the emperor asks for cuttings relating to the particular technical subjects In which for tho time he Is specially interested. FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD.

FOR HEALTH'S SAKE SEE THAT YOUR FOODSTUFFS ARE PURE. ADULTERATIONS ARE COMMON Unscrupulous Dealers in Large Cities the Medium for Disposing of Such Goods Purchase at Home. For years one of the matters which has received the careful attention of (he department of agriculture is food adulteration. Who has not heard of the old libel on the state or Connecti cut -tho wooden nutmeg, but there are worse things than wooden nut megs. Unprincipled manufacturers and dealers for many years have re sorted to adulteration of foodstuffs to increase profits. In the matter of spices, only a short time since the food commission of one of the states discovered among 50 samples analyzed more than SO that were adulterated. In popper, stems and barks were ground, In ever class of ground spice foreign substances were added to give weight, and in numerous cases, particularly Ilaoiing extracts, the ar ticles supposed to be made from pure fruits, wore found to be synthetical, or entirely aitlficial, preparations from coal tar. These goods were prepared by con cerns that have no regular trade, but depend upon agents to sell goods for i hem to whoever they can. It is rare ly that a reliable wholesale grocery house sells such goods, as retailers will not knowingly keep them in stock, as they cannot be legally sold, and some officer of the food depart ment of the state is likely to drop Into the store at any time, confiscate the goods, and impose a heavy fine on the dealer. A short time ago health officers In Philadelphia found a number of Ital ians in a cellar putting oil In bottles, and labeling the same with a foreign looking label. An analysis of the oil proved it to bo mainly a poor quality of cotton-seed oil, and the lowest grade of olive. Hundreds or cases or the stuff were traced to a city in the middle west, where it was dis posed of under contract to houses who sell direct to consumers through agents and by mail. Not alone are spices, extracts, olive oil and sim ilar foodstuffs adulterated this way, but the fraud extends still further. Cheap kinds of fish, such as hake, cat fish, etc., are prepared and placed on tho market as genuine codfish. Toma to catsups are made of a good quality ol" pumpkin and given the right color by dye stuffs, and flavored by the use of coal tar extracts. Hundreds or other articles are "doctored" the same way. It Is rarely that such artificial goods find their way Into the hands or regular grocers throughout the eifiintry, but are disposed or by con corns who depend upon doing busi ness at points distant from their loca tion, and who seek protection in the interstate commerce law, and who seek to dispose or their goods directly to the consumers, as no federal or state officer is likely to call at a pri vate house and make an analysis of foods used. It seems that neither the national or state laws can be so closely ap plied as to prevent this evil, it the masses or people would study into this question the buying of foods from others than local dealers, who are known to be honest, would be the re sult, nnd tho dally reports of people being mysteriously poisoned by eating some article of rood would not be so numerous. Polish Proverb: A guest sees moro in an hour than the host in a year. German proverb: Somo had rather guess at much than take pains to learn a little. Trust "Graft." Ono or the practices or the trusts in the marketing of their products, is the prize schemes. In order to induce the consumers to use their various brands or goods, attractive offers are made to exchange different articles for certificates and coupons. Rut It Is always Intended that tho consum ers "pay tho freight." Generally where premiums are offered with goods, the packages are short in weight, or a few cents more charged than goods of like kind sell tor. Thus It can be seen how the premiums given are paid for by the consumer, and he pays a high price for tho prizes he draws. Goods that aro given away with purchases cost money. Their cost does not come out or tho pockets of the manufacturers, but out of the purses of tho people who use the goods, if one desires to buy sugar, ho does not care to pay for the scoop or shovel. He wants sugar, and at tho lowest price con sistent. Ho knows that If ho takes the scoop or the shovel some one pays the hill. Various systems of TRADE'S GREAT MAGNET. How Some Mammoth Fortunes Have Been Built Up. .Many of the great fortunes In Amer ica have been gained by the Judicious use of printers' Ink. The wealthiest merchants attribute their success to advertising. Millions and millions of dollars' worth of manufactured prod ucts are annually pold to the people of the United States through the ad vertising pages of the public press, the only medium. Consider the new fangled breakfast foods, the numerous natural food preparations! It Is more than likely they would never have be come known without their merits were exploited before the people through the newspapers. Great exclu sive 'mall-order houses, Institutions that have come Into existence during the past 20 years, have been built up entirely through judicious advertis ing. As to the mail order houses, there Is a loud clamor against their en croachments throughout the country. There Is every cause for alarm that they will eventually grow Into such mammoth institutions as will monop olize the business that is now the backbone and spine of the country towns. There is one way that the merchants can lessen the evil. It is by peisistent use or the public press. Use advertising space, meet the com petition rightly and squarely and let the people know about It. Hundreds of would-be business ven tures have tailed just because there was no proper advertising. Hundreds and thousands of small merchants fail for the same cause. The paper in a small town is of greater force than the average merchant thinks. If the storekeeper desires to test his home paper as an advertising medium, let him insert an advertisement or some article and put the price lower than it is generally sold at. Then await results. He will find that the people will learn of it, and call to see about It. Dollars tothe editor for advertis ing space are never lost ir the adver tising is or the proper kind. The In vestment will bring greater returns to the merchant than money Invested in any other way. One trouble is that the average merchant knows little about proper methods or advertising. A simple card "John Jones. Grocer, sells groceries" is or but little use. Make advertising attractive. Tell about goods, about juices, and every thing that a prospective purchaser may want to know. Keep persistently at. It. Change advertisements week arter week. The people look for it, and it will pay. D. M. CARR. Overcrowded Fields. The growing seriousness or the mail order houses cutting into the trade or the country merchants no doubt will bring about a change in their methods or doing business. The keepers of stores In small cities and towns must change from obsolete ways and adopt modern mercantile methods, or seek some other vocation. In the small towns the expenses of conducting business are less than in the large city, and while it may bo true that goods cannot be bought for the prices paid by the big city dealers, and freight rates in some cases may bo higher, conditions could be bet tered if the merchants would- only set about to meet competition as they should. A district containing an average population can support only a limited number or stores. Too often It Is the case that there are more stores than is needed to supply the wants of the community. Such a condition Is caused chiefly by those who desire to enter mercantile life, exercising poor judgment in selecting a location. They enter an over-crowded town and fail to follow sound good business principles. The result is failure, or a mere struggle and an Injury to the interests of the town in which they are located. premium giving have been devised. Some call for a certain number of coupons of some sort, and so much cash, or some article just for the coupons alone. Where cash is re quited along with coupons there is apparently an additional profit In the deal aside from that made on tho goods with which coupons aro given. It is well to buy goods on their merits alone. Buy what you want nnd at the right price, and you will be ahead of the premium plan. "It Pays to Advertise." The merchant who believes "that advertising is just throwing away money," can hardly hold out well when there is any competition to meet. He might succeed in running a crossroad store in some pioneer coun try, but he has little place In the business world where it is essential that up-to-date methods be employed The Unavailing Weather Protest.

PROLIFIC GARDEN ENGLISHMAN'S FIRST AND 8UG CE88FUL ATTEMPTS IN MANI TOBA COIL PRODUCES STRIKING RESULTS. The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Presa of a few days since contains account of the success that followed the. ef forts of William Knowles, an English man who located near' Winnipeg, Man itoba. This is but one of many let ters giving experiences of settlers, and should be encouraging to those who are looking about for a new home in which they may better their conditions. The following is a copy of the article referred to: William Knowles, who cultivates some twelve acres or land just below Middlcchurch ferry on east side of the Red River has probably as fine a dis play of horticultural products as any In Manitoba. The whole of his hold ing is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid yegetablo specimens, which have for tunately escaped damage by hail, al though heavy storms have more than once occurred within a few miles. Tho potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of 4ya acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvelous collection of tomatoes. There are 600 plants, all growing under an enor mous weight of fruit. One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvelous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to tho Free Press office. The proprietor was the first In town with several specimens, includ ing green corn. The season has been favorable for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking re markably healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, cauliflow er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de partment has not been neglected and a charming display of all the well known blooms were shown, including a specially choice lot of asters. Mr. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising, and is gratified with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture. A Terrible Possibility. Little Lucy came home from school crying piteously. It was some time, before the family could learn the cause of her trouble, but finally the sobbing grew less violent and" she wailed out: "Teacher says if I don't get my spelling lesson she's going to make an example of me, and if she puts me there, I'm afraid the scholars will rub me ou t!"
