    FACTS GUARANTEED
Neuralgia and Anosmia are Cured by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
For nearlya generation the people of
this country have known Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills , during which time proof of
thousands of curefi by this remedy has
been published and confirmed and not
one person has been harmed in the slight
est degree by their use. The pills con
tain no opiate , narcotic or stimulant ,
nor any drug which could injure the
most delicate constitution.
4 'For ' ' Miss Charlotte
over a year , says
Van Salisbury , of Gastleton , W.Y. , "I
Buffered from neuralgia and palpitation
of the heart. My skin was pale and sal
low and I was troubled with dizziness ,
fainting spells and fits of indigestion. 1
was very nervous and would start at tli
slightest sound. At times a great weak *
ness would come over mo and on one oc
casion my limbs gave way under me and
I fell to the sidewalk.
" Of course I was treated by onr local
physicians and also consulted a noted
doctor at Albany , but nothing they gave
me seemed to benefit me. One day I
read in a newspaper about Dr.Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People and I imme-
iintely gave them a trial. I soon felt
much'better and my color had be un to
return. I continued using the pills and
by the time I had taken eight boxes 1
was entirely cured.
" My sister , Sarah Van Salisbury , suf
fered terribly from autemia. She was
pale and thin and we feared that she
would become a victim of consumption.
She tried Dr.Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People and in a short time she be-
rau to gain in strength and weight.
She is now strong and well and we both
heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills to" all who are in ill health. "
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all

The following extracts from J
of the National Manufacturers' ofmi
miCe
elation and Inspector Hedrlck ,
Inspector of the City of Chicago , refute'
the sensational charges made against
the canned meat packers :
Our investigation of the Canned and
Potted Meat part of the packing industry
showed that the methods used make the
use of preservatives unnecessary , and in
dicated that no preservatives or artificial
coloring is now used by the Canned Meat
packer.
'The meat is first partially cooked in
large kettles , then the fat and bone is
.trimmed off and the meat packed into
tins. The air Is then withdrawn with
vacuum pumps and the cans sealed in
.vacuum. . Nest they are put into large
cookers , where the cooking process is fin
ished. In the packing of some products
it is necessary that the cans be reopened
and the steam allowed to escape , the vent
hole being immediately resealed while the
goods are hot , so as to retain the vacuum.
The entire process is quite similar to
that used by the family cook when putting Co
.tip fruits and vegetables , except that tty
meats are sealed in tin cans instead of
ket
being put in glass jars. We found that
she
the solder in making the cans and in
sealing them is all placed on the outside a
of the can and does not come in contact the
with the contents. of
We were informed that much of the Ilk
cause for complaint in canned meats was aft
because of the mistaken idea that the of
goods would keep in perfect condition af vei
ter they had been opened. This would fro
be the fact if they were preserved with de
chemicals , butt as they are only kept in
condition because of being sealed in vacuum
lea
uum tins they spoil just as readily as
fresh meats do after they have been lln
opened and exposed to the air , but will lea
teep Indefinitely if the can is not punc Jus
tured. It is also a well-known scien or
tific fact that decaying meat generates the
a gas which -will explode any package th
which is hermetically sealed.
Sanitary Inspector Hedrick submitted tri
to Commissioner Whalen his analysis of

conditions in the Libby , McNeill & Libby

> * ral conditions , that the floors , halls , lea

ERA OF EQUAL EIGHTS IS AT EA1TD.
By Jose oh W. Folk.
Political revival is .going on all
over the land to-day on the subject
of the rule of the people. The people
ple of Philadelphia , Cincinnati , Pitts-
burg , Pennsylvania , and Ohio have
been fighting to regain the. govern
ment they had lost. The people are
beginning to awaken to a realization
of the fact that the government of
the city , State and nation belongs to
JDS. w. FOLK. them , and they can take the sovern-
tnent Into their own hands whenever they wish.
We need more respect for existing laws rather than
more laws. The only way the people can rule is through
the laws made by their representatives. If these laws
are not obeyed , then , instead of .1 government by the
people , there is a government by those with wealth or
influence enough to obtain o/flcial nullification of the
laws. Had Providence ordained that Adam , the first
man , should have life eternal here , and as the ruler of
his millions of descendants he had received a salary of
S175 a day , his 0,000 years' savings would not bring his
fortune up to that of Mr. Carnegie. Yet the wages of
< he average man is nearer $1.75 a day than $175 , and
instead of living 0,000 years the span of his life hardly
reaches 40 years. If a man were to receive a salary of
. ' 310,000 a year , and save every cent of it he would have
to live 5,000 years before he could match his fortune
> vith that of the prince of oils , acquired through the sys
tem of special privileges. How Is It that men can accumu
late in a few years as much as under normal conditions
it would take tens of thousands of years to obtain ? This
could not have been done if the doctrine of equal rights
prevailed ; it is done because of the ruje of the special
privilege.
MAN SHOULD LHTE A CENTUKY.
By Sir Satxucl Wilks.
It is remarkable why a dog should be worn
out and old after his ten revolutions , a horse
after twenty , and man when he has had his
three score and ten. According to one scien
tist an animal's age is fjveJimes that of the
period taken to reach maturity. Tn the case of
the elephant , which the zoological society sold
to Barnniu , and which was shortly after-
uj iitciueni ; , tue sueieton
and which was shortly- afterward killed by accident , the
vras again brought lo England in a show , and
it was then seen that the long bones were still distinct
and separate. This accorded with its supposed age of 22
years when It was sold. According , therefore , to the
authority referred to man ought to live to be 100 years
old.
There seems nothing opposed to the possibility of the
age of man having been greater than now in the time
of the patriarchs. There is a doctrine as old as Aristotle
that asserts that the function conies first and then the
organ. I may remind the reader of the large muscles of
the blacksmith's arm or the dancer's leg , and that they
are therefore proportionately strong , and that this in
creased development came in consequence of their being
put to greater use when they were of normal size.
Just as we use our muscles if we wish to retain their
strength , so likewise must we continue to use the brain
in order to preserve it in working order. Use brings
MODERN HAYMAKING.

Haymaking is not the laborious pro-
jss that it was fifty years ago , or
ren ten years ago. Every step can
sw be accomplished by machinery ,

i the mow or stack , except the ar-
mging of the hay on the wagons ,

Clover hay is more difficult

its healthy state is retained. As a result of this it may
be said that , as a rule , professional men , or judges , or
legislators , whose minds are continually active , live longer
than those who retire from business at an early age and
have no pccupation to employ their leisure. Occupation
may therefore be considered as one of the necessities of
long life.

POSSIBLE TO FORETELL THE FUTURE. '
Bv H. G. Wells.
Why should things cease at man ? Why
should not this rising curve rise yet more
steeply and swiftly ? There are things to
suggest that we are now in a phase of rapid
and unprec. " "entcd development. The condi
tions under which men live are changing with
an ever increasing rapidity , and so far as
our knowledge goes no sort of creatures have
ever lived under changing conditions with
out undergoing the profoundest changes themselves. ID
the last century there was more change In the conditions
of human life than there had been in the previous thou
sand years.
And now if It has been possible for men , by picking
out a number of suggestive and significant looking things
In the present and comparing them , criticising them , and
discussing them with a perpetual insistence upon "why ,
without any guiding tradition , and , indeed , in the teeth
of established beliefs , to construct this amazing search
light of Inference Into the remoter past , is is really , after
ail , such an extravagant and hopeless thing to suggest
that by seeking for operating causes instead of for fos
sils , and by criticising them as persistently and thor
oughly as the geological record has been criticised , it
may not bespossible to throw a searchlight of Inference
forward instead of backward , and to attain a knowledge
of coming things as clear , as universally convincing , and
infinitely more Important to mankind than the clear
vision of the past that geology iias opened to us during
the nineteenth century ?
MARRIAGE MISERY IF WIFE HOLDS PURSE.
During the first year of married life people
ought to settle the scale of domestic economy
upon which they propose to live. It Is better
to set this scale below , rather than above , the
mark , since it can be far more easily raised
than Jowered. From the first the wife should
be careful to. pay her bills every week. The
first few months of married life are the hey-
dey of a wife's power. Let her use it not
merely to get concessions , presents , or any Immediate
advantage , but to make her husband the sort of man and
husband he would like himself afterwards to be.
Prominent among new doctrines in this era of strange
gospels Is that which holds that the woman is bound to
contribute to the support of the family by earning money
as the man does. Which is , on the face of it , contrary to
nature. It Is the province of the woman * to make the
home , of the man to furnish the materials wherewith
it is made. The wife who does her whole duty within
the walls of her own home is a true helpmeet , and , while
her loving service can be repaid only in love , she is also
financially well worthy of her hire. A physician , who
addressed the recent health congress in Europe , declared
that "A home pursuit for women would work miracles
in thousands of cases of nervous disease. "

Some interesting particulars of its

The cistern is in the summit of a

part In the curing process , though
j wind Is the more important factor
the two. Indeed the sun alone is
ely to bleach and discolor the cleverer
: er It has been cut. The hot rays
the sun withers up the leaves , pre-
itlng the natural escape of the water
im the stems. To illustrate this more
arly by an example , take two trees
it are cut down in June , when the
.ves are in full vigor. Have the
ibs removed from one so that no
.ves remain. Allow the other to lie
st as It fell. Examine the trees two
three weeks later , and you will find
it one trunk contains far more water
in the'other. One tree was sucked
7 by the leaves , the other was
mmed of leaves , and no pumps were
work to drain the trunk dry. When
iver hay is spread out to the sun the
.ves which contain these little pumps
put out of action , because tbey are
rlveled and dried up , and cxnnot do
lr duty. If , soon after cutting , the
iver Is piled In fair-sized windrows ,
d left fairly open to ttie wind , the

Immunity from accidents , although
these occur from time to time. Batdies
of from three to fifteen workmen are
set to sink a well about one meter in
diameter and no propping up Is effected
until they strike at a depth of twenty ,
forty or even sixty meters a bed of red
clay , in which is found meerschaum
mixed with serpentine in pieces rang
ing from the size of a hazel nnt to that
of an apple. The extraction of these ,
pieces is often attended with great dif
ficulties , but work Is carried on day

When purchased by the wholesale
merchants the meerschaum Is humid ,
heavy and of a yellowish tinge * It has ,
therefore , to be dried , either in the sun
or In a kiln , according to the season
of the year. This causes two-thirds to
waste away , but turns it a snow-white
color. It is afterward rubbed with hot
water and sand and finally polished
with wax and Is then ready to be

PRAISE FOR A FAMOUS MEDICINE
Kra. V/illadscn Tells How She Tried Lydla
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Just
In Time.
' Mrs. T. C. Willadsen , of Manning- ,
Iowa , writes to Mrs. Pinkham :
Dear Mrs. Pinkhnm :
u I can truly say that you have saved my
life , and I cannot express my gratitude to
you in words.
"Before I wrote to you , telling you how I
f alt , I had doctored for over two years steady
and spent lots of money on medicines besides ,
but it all failed to help me. My monthly pe
riods had ceased and I suffered much pain ,
with fainting spells , headache , backache and
"bearing-down pains , and I was so weak I
could hardly keep around. As a last resort
I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound , and I am so
thankful that I did , for after following your
instructions , which you sent me free of all
charge , I became regular and in perfect
health. Had it not been for you I would be
in my grave to-day.
'
' I'sincerely trust that this letter may lead
every suffering woman in the country to
write j'ou for help as I did. "
When women are troubled with ir
regular or painful periods , weakness ,
displacement or ulceration of an organ ,
that bearing-down feeling , inflamma
tion , backache , flatulence , general de
bility , indigestion or nervous prostra
tion , they should remember there 13

"When my little boy was six months
aid , he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body ;
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then -went to another doctor , but.
lie could not help him , and in our de
spair we went to a third one. Matters
became so bad that he had regular
holes hi his cheeks , large enough to put
a finger into. The food had to be giv-i
en with a spoon , for his mouth was-
covered with crusts as thick as a fin
ger , and whenever h-2 opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate , as did also his eyes. Hands ,
arms , cnest and back , in short tha
wliole body , was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed , wa
iad to pin his hands down ; otherwise
he would , scratch his face , and make
an open sore. I think his face must
iave itched most fearfully.
"We finally thought nothing could
fcelp , and I had made up my mind to
send , my wife -with the child to En-
rope , hoping that the sea air might
cure him , otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But ,
Lord be blessed , matters came differ
ently , and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap ,
Ointment and Resolvent , and -within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear , and within ten ;
weeks the child was absolutely well ,

never before. F. Hohrath , President
