His back hurt and he had such pain in his left arm that he could not rest night or day. The doctor did him no good and it was not until he tried Dr. Williams' Fink Pills that he was helped. Six boxes cured him completely and he has not had an ache or a pain since. We think the pills are the best medicine in the world." Dr.Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cure rheumatism because they make new blood. It would be folly not to try a remedy with such a convincing record of cures. SOLO 8.' ALL DRUGGISTS.

Notwithstanding the large produc tion of petroleum in Russia the use of illuminating oil in the country is small. It has been United by a tax on refined oil. Recently the Haku re finers have petitioned the government to abolish this tax on refined oil for home consumption and to substitute for it a tax on all erude oil produced. About the Wedding Dress. A host of superstitions center about the wedding dress. Some stitcher should be set in it by the bride her self on her wedding day she should "sew her own Joy in it." But the groom should never be allowed to see the bride in her wedding dress until he meets her at the altar. Good News for All. Bradford. Tenn.. Nov. 21. (Spe cial.) Scientific research shows Kid ney Trouble to be the father of so many diseases that news of a dis covery of a sure cure for it cannot fail to be welcomed all over the coun try. Ami according to Mr. J. A. Davis of this place just such a cure is found in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Davis says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is claimed for them. They have done me more pood than anything 1 have ever taken. I had Kidney Trouble very bad. and after taking a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills I am com pletely cured. I cannot praise them too much." Kidney Complaint develops Into Bright's Disease. Dropsy. Diabetes, Rheumatism, and other painful and fatal diseases. The safeguard is to cure your kidneys with Dodd's Kid ney Pills when they show the first f-ymptom of disease. Growth of Hair and Nails. In every seven years the average man grows a beard 25 feet long, hair f0 feet long, and nails 2.". feet long. Every nousekeeper snould know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they wil! save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz. one full pound while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ?i-pound pack ages, and the price is the same. 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has r stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron ticking. Defiance never sticks. An open denial of God may be bet ter than an empty definition of Him. More Flexible and Lasting, won't shake out or blow out: by using Iefiance Starch you obtain better re Milts than possible with any other brand and one-third more for same money.

Games Help to' Form Life to a Great Extent, Says Writer. " Concerning the educational-value of games there can be no question, but the points in their favor as influencing and benefiting national character and national spirit are rarely so strikingly set forth as by Dr. Warre, the head master of Eton, in C. B. Fry's Maga zine. , Dr. Warre lays stress on the su periority of games as opposed to the cultivation of mere athletics. A na tion's sports help in tracing the de velopment of the nation's life, serving is markers of progress. "Rowins," for instance, according to Dr. Warre, 'hss played, as a serious business, no nconsiderable part in the great events of human history, and yet as a mere pastime it is inferior to none," says Dr. Warre. "And then, again, games are in valuable in school life as teaching mutual respect and self-restraint and endurance, along with quickness and observation and readiness of decision. These stand them in good stead in after life. Games help to form char acter to a wonderful extent and I dc not know any means by which you can so quickly arrive at an estimate of human character, of individuality, of personality, as you can by watch ing people at games or engaged in any sport that calls for endurance patieqee, celerity of mind and body. "If I had to lead a forlorn hope I should like best to have with me some of my old shipmates, some of the steady and trusty men who never fail ed in the supreme struggle of a uni versity race. That is what is meant, of course, by the hackneyed old say ing of the battles of England being fought on the playing fields of Eton. It is absolutely true. You get down to the bedrock of human character by means of games. Any substitution of technical gymnastics for games is in advisable; the mental and moral be ing, quite as much as the physical, loes immensely by such substi'u tion." MEANT TO LIVE LONG. Figures Seems to Show Man Should Exist for a Century. There has been very little, if any change in the duration of man's lile since the days of the patriarchs; tint is. some four or five thousand years ago. Every one did not attain to great age in those days, any more than they do to-day. for various reasons stated in the Bible. Abraham lived to be 175 years old (but his two younger broth ers appears to have died before him I Abraham's wife. Sarah, lived to be 1-1 years old; Isaac lived to be 180; Ish tnael lived to be 137; Jacob lived tc be 147; Joseph lived to be 110; Kohatl lived to be 133; his son. Amrara, livec to be 137; his son, Moses, lived to be 120; Aaron was three years older than his brother, and died some years le fore him; Joshua lived to be 110. The number of persons reported ir 1100 as centenarians and over was: England. 170; Ireland. 57S; Scotland 4; Sweden. 10; Norway. 23; Belgium r; Denmark. 2; Switzerland, none; Spain. 401; Servia. f75; France. 213 This is not by any means a complete list, as only some countries are given but it helps to prove that we rhouk' live to be 120 years or over, and tint we do rot do so was not the plan ot intention of the Almighty. The Political Aspect. Mark Smith, former congressman from Kentucky, was telling the story of a Kansas senator who appeared in Washington with a long beard, then suddenly cut it off. "If you must know," said the senator upon being asked, "why, it was like this. I was in the Senate one day, working away, when two pages came up behind me. " 'He's from Kansas.' whispered one. "'No,' said the other, 'I'm not so sure.' "'We'll prove it.' declared the first page. 'I'll go up behind him and give him a good, hard kick. If a jack rab bit don't jump out of his beard then you win.' "I'l leave it to anybody," concluded the senator, "if it wasn't time to cut off the beard." A Bachelor's Birthday.

I am Millais," said the great artist "Well, it's little Johnny Millais, sure enough!" said the tramp, noting tb? distinguished figure of the artist "Well, to judge from your appearance. I suppose you gave up art long ago Whats your line, any way? Where did you get your money?" "I still paint." groaned Millais. "and you have never even heard of me." Greatness Not Visible. A very plain man, whose homely features Whistler, the famous painter had depicted with uncompromising fidelity, came to him at the end of the last sitting and said: "Come. come.

Too often holes are dug in the sod and trees, stuck into them, the planter hoping that kind Nature will make up for hit shortcomings. Sometimes she does, but oftener she does not. The lack oi drainage at the time of setting out the trees often results in the almost com Piete failure of the orchard if it hi on heavy land, and such land is prefer able for orchards if it can be weL drained. In putting cut of orchard the drainage of the land should have the first consideration. This will hi all the more necessary if the land be level, and with small tall. Waten thei. will run off very slowly, even witl. good drains. Without such drain; water will remain about the roots ol the trees for days, cometimes foi months, preventing the approach ol air to the rcots. There are thousands of full growr orchards that it would pay to draii. now. though the drains might have tc be put closer together than wouli have been the case had they been pul in in the first place, for the reason that it will be difficult to pulverize the soil immediately around and un der the trees. The orchard that it drained gets to growing earlier in the spring than otherwise, and this time of growth counts for much when a dr season follows it. If a tree has water logged roots it cannot grow till that condition is changed. If that change comes late in the spring the work ot growth is shortened, especially if a long dry time follows it. The results may be very apparent in both wood and fruit, though the grower may not realize the cause. "Few lecturers have ever injured their reputations or limited their use fulness by brevity. If there is natur ally in a man a strong desire to be heard and seen of people, such a man can rarely succeed as an institute lecturer. There are temptations and opportunities in the work that will be his undoing. If a man is modest and unobtrusive by disposition he will find in the liberty the recognition and the excitement of institute work a stimulus to the development of :in pleasant characteristics natural to the conceited, and may need to be on the watch. The taking of unusual time in a meeting is an assumption that one is fitted to occupy the time mo-e profitably than others upon the pro gram, and this is offensive to cultural and uncultured alike. The ability to hold one's audience is no gauge of proper limit." PROTECTION FOR SMALL FRUIT. The best winter protection for blackberries, raspberries and grapes, consists in layfng them down and covering lightly with dirt. In laying plants down (the rows running north and south), commence at the north end. remove the dirt from the north side of the hill about four inches deep; gather the branches in close form with a wide fork, raising it toward the top of the bush, and press gently to the north at the same time placing the foot firmly on the base of the hill, and press hard toward the north. If the ground is hard or bushes old. a second man may use a potato fork instead of the foot, in serting same deeply, close to the south side of the hill and press over slowly, bendirg the bush in the root until nearly flat on the ground. The bush is then held down with wide fork until properly covered. The top of succeeding hill should rest near the base of preceding hill, thus making a continuous covering. Ruskin said that a man who con sumed more than he produced is a pauper. Then there are many paupers among the rich. A POINT TO REMEMBER. There has been considerable talk of late by feeders who have bought good cattle and finished them at a loss in favor of buying the cheaper and infe rior kinds, which because of the wider margin between thin and fat stuff have been made profitable. It may be true that inferior stock will occasion ally make more money for the feeder than the better kinds. But let us not be deceived by all this talk in favor of common cattle, cautions Stockman and Farmer. Let us remember why they made the most money simply because the feeder could buy them veiy low. And that is the very reason why the breeder wants to avoid them. Tho man who wants to make a profit in raising cattle cannot get them too good. Xo matter what happens to the feeder, the stock raiser should hold fast to this idea. And the same is true with all other kinds of live stcck. The best make the most money for the breeder every time. We are now satisfied that alfalfa can be grown in many parts of this Northwest. Of course, the full extent of the development possible in this re spect cannot be known for several years to come. In view, however, of wheat what has already been done, we feel justified in urging farmers who have soil underlaid with clay to sow a piece of alfalfa, in order to provide pasture for their swine, wher ever it can be successfully grown. The results from such pasture will be more than gratifying. To keep the worms out of dried ap ples and peaches, hent them in the oven previous to putting them away. Be sure to get them hot all the way through. Then put them in a paper sack, tying tight, hang in a dry place, and there will be no danger o mold ing if thoroughly dried. Walt until the latter part of Feb ruary or first of March before you begin to trim your apple trees. In orchard planting, select with a view to good bearing, good quality, good market and good keeping. PREPARE NOW FOR YOUR COUr. TY FARMERS' INSTITUTE. As we have said in a former issu of this paper, there will be held sorm .tme during the fall and winter, i svery county of the state, a Farmer? "nstitute, and we hope our reader: .vill attend all of them they possibl ?an. There may not be so many heh "n other states as we are holding tbi ear, but there are very few stater f any. in which institutes are no :eld. and they have become a ver "mportant factor in the nevelopmen f what is known as modern agricu' 'ure. One of the interesting feature if every institute, and one that can b it great practical value as an objec esson. if it is properly conducted, i: i display of farm products. Such dis )Iays stimulate a good-natured, whole wine rivalry among farmers, give th ising generation a clearer idea of tin possibilities of the farm, and last, bu lot least, advertise the agriculture resources of the courty in which th "nstitute is held, as nothing else couli' Such displays snould always be mad- .n the same room where the speakins s done, if possible, and they shouh ;e placed back of the speakers, wher jver there is room enough to do it )ne cf the main objections to a dis ilay is that there is danger of thf zrowd becoming mere interested ii this than they are in the speaking This danger is the greatest when the xhibition is in another room, but i s great even in the same room, if it i oca ted in the back of the room, ant 'requently interferes materially witl the speaking. The writer knows, b. practical experience how hird it is to talk to a crowd of people, half o whom are discussing the merits o. Farmer Jones' pumpkins, corn am .vheat; or Sister Smith's butter cheese and cakes; therefore, he ad vis id that, when it is possible, the dic ;)lay be placed back of the speakers nly to be examined when no one is- ecturing. The speakers sent out bj he state are generally practical men. vho have given a good '"eal of time md thought to their special subject md when the state pays the.u foi coming to talk to the farmers, surely 2ery one should give them a reason lble hearing for courtesy's sake, to ?ay nothing about the possibilities o! getting valuable information about rhe various branches of farm work. There are eat possibilities in the arrangement of farm products in s Jisplay. if one will oily give a little thought and attention to the subject. "A new cattle peril confronts Ameri can farmers in the existence of foot and mouth disease in countries ir. Europe and South America. Secretar Wilson of the Department of .tgricul lure, says that the countries from .vhich we get our hides and wooi that have this disease are not taking neco-sary steps to eradicate it. Un less hides and wool are disinfected at the point of shipment, this govern ment will be compelled to require dis infection at the poirt of entry in this country, or pronibit the trade allo sether. In view of the fact that the toot and mouth disease in New" Eng land has cost the government nearly a quarter of a million dollars, the im portance of taking some such steps is manifest."

Those who live where the winters are severe and very changeable often complain that the less hardy varie ties of grapes and berries do not suc ceed well with them. Sometimes merely laying down the vines or canes and covering with several inches of loose dirt in the fall after the leaves are shed will make a wonderful differ ence in the yield and growth of the most tender kinds. Do not uncover too early in the spring, for the sun shine is often treacherous, coaxing the buds out too soon, when they are sure to be chilled, to the detriment of the plant. MANURE IN PILES. "When manure is Iiauled out in win ter, it should be spread, not left in piles; in piles it could net be spread until spring, after the ground on which it was to be applied had settled. Ia nure in piles will also lie up loose and the drying winds malce it of little value, whereas, if spread during fall or winter, before the snows and spring rains are over, it is tinned down to the ground and does net dry out quickly; it therefore forms the mechanical effect of a mulch which alone on the soil at that time of the year is of greart importance. Indeed, if a piece of clay soil be fall plowed and manure spread on a part of it. the uncovered ground will be fcund to settle earlier, and unless disked at just the proper time work up lumpy, while the mulched portion remains mellow and moist and will continue in a finer state of tilth throughout the whole season." Two wagonloads of pecan nutr grown in Bates county were sold or the street at Kansas City one day last week for $700. GARDEN RISKS IN WINTERING BEES. "We are not always sure that our ees are going to go through the wili er well, and come out in spring in ood shape, even if we bestow toe iest ot care upon them. Occasionally ve have such a long, cold winter, that he bees must suffer heavy loss, and it best we have a weak foundation in pring to start with. The winter prob em has not been settled yet with cer ainty. but we can do much to help he bees come through the winter trong and healthy, and in most cases nake it a certainty." The first essential to successful intering is good stores and plenty of hem. We would have the stores to ur round the brood next as closely as ossible. but it is not always the case hat we have the combs of honey so 'onstructed. One of the most import mt things we miss in the present .rake of hive3. is that we do not get -notigh honey stored directly above he bees, but as these hives seem sore suitable to successful honoy aiders, we must do the next thing 'iest. and that is to prepare them as 'ell as possible for going through the virter. This can only be done by he ue of chaff hives, if we expect o winter then out doors. If the wili er is a long cold ore. our bees are etter off in the cellar, but if the win er is an open one we would rather ake chances on wintering out dors "n chaff hives. The winter wheat crop promises at the present time to be more than an average one. unless the conditions are mfavorable between now and the harvest season. The yield of wintei .vheat will be considerably more than he average. The harvest season is now so near at hand that the chance if hazard does not seem to be very Treat. The first instalment of the Train crop of 1903. therefore, is bright with promise. SPREADING MANURE. "The question cf when to spread ma nure is a problem that each farmer nust determine for himself. Some say that it should never be spread while .snow covers the ground, and especi ally if the land is hilly or any chance exists for floods to come on and wash it away. It is true that even on undu lating land some of the virtue will be washed out with the melting of the snow, but most of it is then deposited over the surface of the grcund ere it has gone very far, and happily, is in just the right condition to stimulate growth as soon as the frost is out. Provided the valuable elements are in a liquid form and distributed over the surface of the ground, this, on being made porous and saturated through the first thaws, will readily absorb them upen the water settling into the soil. It is certainly better to spread manui e on frozen meadows, not Un duly step. than to leave it in the barnyard until the ground is settled and suffer a greater depletipn of value. perhaps, by the spring rains coming on it while it is yet in the wrong place. Added to this, spring hauling of manure is detrimental to the soil trampled over, and the manure is val uable only when plowed in at that time of the year." It should be clearly understood that there is no evidence that bad stabling, neglected sanitation, nor close breed ing does in any case originate the dis ease known as tuberculosis; but, if the disease be introduced by purchase of tubercular animals, its increase or spread is lessened or increased by certain conditions, as above named. WATCH THE RABBIT. 'Rabbits are much more numerous and voracious some winters than others, but the trouble is we never Krow beforehand whether we are go .ng to have a rabbit winter or not. Trees are often left with no protec tion at all and come through the win ter uninjured, but that does not prove that it is safe to run therisk another year, for the next winter there may be many injureJ. "Many kinds of washes are recom mended for rabbit proofing trees, and also other substances, such as bloou and axle grease. It is both unsafe and dangerous to use such things, for t!.e rain is apt to wash off such as do not contain grease or tar, and those that do that are apt to injure the trees. It is true that these sub stances have been used with no appar ent injury, but it is also true that many trees have been killed by their use. The rabbit is a herbiverous ani mal and will not touch grease of any kind or any substance containing grease. Trees have the same anti pathy to grease, and their likes and dislikes should also be taken into con sideration. "Keeping the orchard free from weeds and rubbish is all well enough, but it will not insure the trees against rabbit attacks. Neither will providing corn for the rabbits, for we have known them to bark tress that have stood in an unhusked field cf corn " Celery can be stored and blanched in a cellar by using a box about 18 inches in height. In the bottom of this put four inches of sand and soil then fill the box with the celery stand ing with roots in the soil. Crowd the plants closely together. Set the box in a dark corner. Keep the soil wet by watering through a hole in the side or by means of a tube, so that the plants remain dry. The roots should be cov ered with the soil. Some men pour their potatoes just out of the field into deep bins as if they were so many stones. Every potato bruised in that way is injured for all time. Empty the crates and baskets carefully It pays to do every thing as it should be done. By this time the average farmer will have finished husking corn, and iside from the time employed in car ing for his stock, will have somo time :vhich can be profitably employed re pairing his farm implements before they are wanted. Ostriches have been given a classi fication in the world's fair live stock shows. Flesh of Bear and Camel. In Germany bear's flesh is greatly favored, and smoked -'bear tongues, hams' and sausages are both appetis ing and expensive. Ever since Paris, fn the siege of 1870-71. was driven to eating up the "animals at the zoo, camel's flesh has been demanded by French gourmets. Remarkably like beef in appearance, it is as tender as veal, and there are -Parisians who im port it regularly from Algeria. Wood in Iceland. Iceland has been found to be not so destitute of tres as commonly report ed. Prof. Prytz of Copenhagen finds that it contains rees of considerable size. A country so cold will not stand the reckless destruction of trees which it has endured in common with other once heavily wooded regions. With care it is believed that Iceland may yet be covered with forests. Simple Remedy for Glass Wounds. If cut by glass examine wound care fully, cleans with antiseptics, holding the wound over an empty bowl and re peatedly squeezing the antiseptic into the wound. Vhen sure that there is no glass' left in, wet a compress in the solution and bind on with a dry bandage. For a simple cut wet com press in antiseptic solution and bind on flrmlr. Saved with Fishing Rod. While fishing in Lifford reservoir the caretaker of Stirchley Institute. Birmingham, England, saw a domes tic servant named Annie Curtis throw herself into the water. Being unable to sw'm, he cast for her with the rod. and. catching the hook in the girl's clothing, he managed to bring her safely to shore. School Children Are Wily. Under a new rule women inspectors visit the public schools of London and inspect the pupils. Those that are not clean are sent home. But already it has been found that some of the chil dren smear themselves with mud be fore entering school, in hope that an inspector will pay a visit. Trees Bent by Indians. There still remain at Highland Park. 111., a few of the old bent trees which once marked the Pottawattamie trail. One theory declares they were bont to mark the direction of Lake Michi gan, while anoher says they point toward the mound where once burned the council fire. Kilt Good Costume for Boys. In lecturing on "Personal and Do mestic Hygiene." J. Caullie, F. R. C. S., stated that the healthy form of at tire for boys was the kilt He said that in the Scottish highlands "those children who wear kilts are invariably strong and turn out to be fine men." Big Comb of Honey. A nature-study museum established in a disused mortuary in St. George's-in-the-East, London; contains a comb with twenty pounds of honey, collect ed mainly from the sugar cargoes in the docks by a colony of 7.000 bees.

" Dear Mrs. Petkham: Life looks dark indeed when a woman feels thct her strength in fading away and she has vo hopes of ever being restored.

The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that mvsun had set ; but Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vege table Compound carne to me as an elixir of life ; it restored the lost forces and built we up until my good health returned to me. Tor four months I took the medicine daily, and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for thehelp I obtained through its use." Mrs. Florence iMxroBTn, 100? Miles Ave..

UL GOVERNOR Uses Pe-ru-na For Colds and Excellent I Ths Magnrifcfmt State Capitol PRAISE FROM THE EX - DERUXA is known from the Atlantic 1 to the Pacific. Letters of congrat ulation anil commendation tentify ing to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring' in from every State of the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving1 hundreds of such letters daily. All clavses write these letters, froui the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laliorer. the indoor arti san, the clerk, the editor. the statesman, the preacher all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es pecially enthn.siustic in their praise aud testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost ointii present. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh of its victims. PtfwjM met eal V cure catarrh, but preveats It. Every momaehoM should be supplied with thla great remedy lor coughs, colds amd so forth. The Kx-tSovernor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continually iu the house.
