Take your horse to the Fashion stables and have him clipped for $1.50. Phone No. 11 and they will call for him. The progressive up-to-date horse owner always clips his horse in the spring. The decreased cost of feed, labor of grooming and the better health of clipped horses are facts no horse owner can overlook. 107-12 t o The expenditure of $1.50 for clipping a horse will improve his appearance and value many fold. It works wonders in looks and health of any horse. The Fashion stables have installed an electric clipping machine and will do your work satisfactorily while you wait. 107-12 t o , Mrs. S. Joyce, 180 Sullivan Sl:.,Claremont, N. H., writes: “About a year ago I bought two bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure. It cured me of a severe case of Kidney trouble of several years’ standing. It certainly is a grand, good medicine, and I heartily recommend it.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o More News from the New England States. If any one has any doubt as to the virtue of Foley’s Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. Stimpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who, after almost losing hope of recovery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley’s Kidney Cure, which he says was “just the thing” for him, as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. Buying Land In Korea. Land buying in Korea !s a process Which calls for both time and patience, says the London Telegraph. The price at which land may be procured differs greatly with the skill of the purchaser. Any hasty attempt to buy hurts the feelings of the owner and creates opposition. The best plan is to select the district on which one’s fancy rests and either settle quietly down there or send an agent to do so instead, letting it be known in a general sort of way that one Is disposed to buy. Then the Koreans, who class transactions in land in the same category with the sale or purchase of movable chattels —that is to say, as a mere means of procuring or spending money—will of themselves come and offer to sell. Then, by the exercise of a little patience, a considerable tract may be very cheaply acquired in a few years. o Prunes Now a Necessity. Prior to 1886 the prunes consumed in this country came almost entirely from France and the Danubian provinces. The consumption was small and the fruit was considered a delicacy. Now more than 100,000,000 pounds of dried prunes are eaten yearly in the United States, and, needless to say, the product is no longer regarded as a luxury. In Prehistoric Ages. Some scientists believe that North America was in contact, during prehistoric ages, with Africa and with Europa, the former connection coming first
