Hl latest trade la that of an automobile for farm In Kansns. Btroud did not see tha farm before the trade nor did the farmer see the automobile. Stroud, be It remembered. Is the man who not only eluded the clutches of the Maybray , swindlers, but actually bumped them at their own frnme. Stroud was In Chicago last fall walking down Michigan avenue when a novice came wcbblli.g along with his automobile, and Just as he was In front of Stroud the ma rl Ine got awny from him, hit the curb and went to pieces. 'I'd like to get fM for that machine," said the owner In anger. "You're on," said Stroud, and handed ovei the S50. FliOud had the machine taken to a garage and fixed up, the whole thing cost Inr Mm about 1160. While at the Merchants hotel the other oay a man was liorrd to remark, "I would Ilk to trade my farm In Kansas for an automobile." "You're on," said Stroud, who was stand ing In the group. The trade was made. The only question asked wis one by Strcud as to whether th man had a title to the farm, and one by the man, would the automobile run. CHILD COVERED Will! HIVES Robins and Cheap Eggs in Omaha Indications that Spring is Near All Come at Once, but It's Not Sure Yet. Robins In the north part of Omaha, eggs 18 cents a dosen. the smell of burning trash, a lltle more poetry being "penned," are unmistakable. evidences submitted by Omahans that spuing Is here. Mrs. Rufus Willis. 1816 North Twenty eighth street, reports having seen a robin Friday morning. Mrs. Willis Is an a in 1b t and knows a robin when she sees one. She has painted portraits of the birds and could not mistake one even early on a foggy morning. Commission merchants announced an abundant supply of eggs Friday and the price was quoted at 18 cents, less than one half the price asked three weeks ago. Kggs will be cheaper. What the retailers will get for them is a matter of conjectuie. The farmers get but 18 cents and pay 5 per cent commission besides, leaving them about 17 cents net for their eggs. i Ice is leaving the river. The Ice erop Is short. The price will arorry people all summer and some Ice may be shipped In, though a new factory will make the manu factured variety cheaper and more abun dant than In the past.

Tormented Two Months It Itched . and Irritated and Scratching Made It Worse Little Sufferer in Ter rible Plight Several Treatments fNo Avail But at Last the DREADFUL DISEASE IS CURED BY CUTICURA "M rix year old daughter had the. dreadful disease called hires for two months. She became affected br play Jng with children who had it, although we did not know it. By scratching she raused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete aore but it was , worse on her arms and back. We em ployed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and I tried sev eral remedies but without avail. See ing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, I thought I would try them. I gave her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment relieved the itching and in a short time the dis ease disappeared. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies for all skin diseases and give them ray greatest praise. Mrs. Geo. L.

To Enjoy the full confidence of the Well-informed of the World and the Commendation of the most eminent physicians it was essen tial that the component parts of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna should be known to and approved by them; there fore, the California Fig Syrup Co. pub lishes a full statement with every package. The perfect purity and uniformity of pro duct, which they demand in a laxative remedy of aq ethical character, are assured by the Company's original method of man ufacture known to the Company only. The figs of California are used in the production of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna to promote the pleasant taste, but the medicinal principles are obtained from plants known to act moat beneficially. To get its beneficial effect always buy the genuine manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only, and far sale by all leading druggiiU. Open to Everybody Is the fullest information as to the prop erties and uses of the several Ingredients entering into Dr. Tierce's leading family medicines. Not only are all the Ingred ients printed in plain English on each bottle - wrapper, but a Ilttlo bork of ex tracts from numerous standard authorities of all the different schools of medical prac tice, extoltng these several ingredients and giving their properties and uses, has been compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce, and will be mailed free by him to the address of any one sending a postal card or letter to him at Buffalo, N. T.f and requesting a copy cf the same. In this way the afflicted, who may think favorably of using these nonsecret medi cines, are taken Into Dr. Pierce's full con fidence and are Informed as to the proper ties and uses of each of the several vegeta ble ingredients of which they are composed. Thus you do not have to rely upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation alone as to the marvelous curative properties possessed hy his "Golden Medical Discovery" for the cure of weak stomachs, d spepsla. tornid liver or biliousness. Impure blood and kin dred ailments, nor of his "Favorite Pre scription" for the cure of weak, nervous. Invalid women, for you have in addition the strongest kind of endorsement of each and every Ingredient entering Into the com position of these world famed medicines by numerous leading medical writers of the several schools of practice. In fact, noth ing which Dr. Pterce has ever atd in recommendation of these medicines Is qulto so strcng and lsudalory of their merits as what has Indirectly been raid of them through the numerous unqualified endorse ments and recommendation of each of their several Ingredients by the leading writers on "Materia Medira." Of course these endorsements were writ ten from entirely disinterested motives and are therefore the more valuable. They were written to Instruct medical practition ers in the properties and uses A the sev eral ingredients which enter into Dr. Pierce's two" leading medicines, the writers not being aware that they were extolling and endorsing ingredients which are used in these medicines. Hence the great value of these highest possible endorsements, coming, aa they do, from .leaders of the medical profession In the matter of "Ma teria Medica." Among U.s wU known authorities will he found Drs. Bartholow, King, Bcudder, Hale, Coe, Elllngwood and many others The Ingredients are all Indigenous, or na tive, medicinal roots. Dr. Pierce believes that medicine can cure disease only ns It assists nature to overcome the abnormal or diseased conditions.' For thus assisting nature In throwing off disease, Dr. Tierce believes the best and inly real remedies are to be found In nature's laboratory. In the roots of medicinal plants found In this country. Providence has stored up most valuable, active, curative principles, which. when scientifically extracted and combined In Just the right proportions, as In Dr. nerce s uomen Medical I-JIseovcry, are most effective In curing a long list of chronic or lingering and most obstinate diseases. In chronic, bronchial, throat and lung affections, accompanlled with hoarseness or loss of voice, cough, profuse expoctorrt tlon, and even bleeding from lungs, "Golden Medical Discovery" has proven a sovereign remedy. In cases of wenk stomach, indigestion dyspepsia, ulceration of stomach or bow. els. torpid liver, or biliousness, the "Golden Medical Discovery" has neji'er been ex celled ss a tonic and Inv'a-crator which puts the affected organs "In tune' and enables thorn to perform their proper fane tlons. It purifies and enriches, the blood curing all manner of "humors." blood taints, scrofulous and skin affections. In all Irregularities and painful periods to which women are subject, also In lou corrhoea, or "female weakness," displace ments or prolapsus, anteverslon snd retro version of the uterus, ulceration of uterus, inflammation of ovaries, and kindred mala dies, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has more real cures to Its credit than any other medicine put up and sold through druggUts for the cure cf this class of weaknesses and diseases. When a woman takes "Favorite Proscrip tion," she knows Just what she Is using. Dr. Pierce takes his patients Into his full confidence. His medicines are not secret compounds, are not patent medicines, but the favorite prescriptions of a regular, graduated physician of large experience in actual practice. You can not afford to experiment with your health by accepting and taking free "trial bottles" of Cheap John Fake Medi cines, so freely given awny In this coun try. Health is a heritage too sacred to be trifled with in that way. Take only Medicines of Known Composition thoso made after formulae so choice that the makers take you fully Into their con fidence and feel that they can afford to tell you Just what you are using when you employ their medicines. 1 Dr. Pierce never believed it necessary or advisable to use alcohol In the prepara tion of either his "Favorite Prescription" for weak women, or his "Golden Medical Discovery." the well known alterative tonic, which Is so largely ured as a remedy for Indigestion, torpid liver, bad blood and kindred ailments. Over forty years ago he discovered that chemically pure gly cerine la a far better solvent of mcst of the active principles residing In out native medicinal plants when used at a proper and sustained temperature than is alcohol: and, furthermore, he found that a glyerlc ex tract kept much better than an alcoholic one, and that the glycerine possessed In trlnsle remedial value being demulcent, nutritive and an effective antl-fermcnt. Al though costing somewhat more. Dr. Pierce predicts that glyceric medicinal extracts will, in the not distant future, largely re place alcoholic ones so generally pre scribed by physicians and put out by prop rietary or "patent medicine" manufactur ers, as being more efficient and entirely free from the serious objection of making inebriates when used In lingering or chronic cases, where a somewhat protracted use of medicine ts necessary, no matter how good or well adapted to the case It may be. In order to obtain permanent results. 0?H M STRUTTING with the REMITTER 6c CIGAR In your mouth enjoying the real Hevana flavor makes you tbink this is a good old world after all. Ask for it.
