I Want DIFFICULT Eye Cases. All I Ask is That YOU Investigate at My Expense My Knifeless Method Which Has Cured So Many Cases After Others Have Failed. DONT GO BLIND-VISION IS TOO PRECIOUS. I want to meet with, or hear from every man, woman or child afflicted with diseases of the eye. I don't care who the person is or what their eye trouble may be, I will be able to convince them ABSOLUTELY FREE that my painless treatment will do more for them than any other method known to the profession. By this 1 do not mean there are not some isolated cases that cannot be cured, but I do mean to say emphatically that many and many difficult cases which have been termed incurable by others have .been permanently * cured by my Absorption treatment. One of the things that lam proud of is in the uninterrupted '// successful career covering many ®/ years, I have eliminated the nejUfiv, cessity of using the dangerous and JMZjg \ v/////// painful knife on the delicate eye, Vf/f //// and there is hardly a day passes 1/66777/' but what I make cures where othn/tr///// 2 I rz/zZ/7 er» have advised that only an opery/K///f// &/, k f/Zz/Z / z ation would bring relief.

L. Wintermute, 121 Second AMERICA’S MASTER oculist. st., j ac k #O n, Mich., under date of (copyrighted) October 18, 1906, writes: “After having been repeatedly told that there was no cure for my cataracts except an operation, to-day my eyes are perfect by I means of your knifeless home treatment. I have regained my vision in six months." Mr. C. W. Johnson, of Grand Detour, 111., in a recent letter said, in part: “I deem it a pleasure, as well as a duty to mankind, to certify to the benefits received from using your home absorption treatment for cataracts. Mrs. Johnson was treated by many physicians. YOU CURED HER." I personally devote my entire time and study to the Eye, and I assure my patients prospective patients my personal attention, even to the smallest details. No matter what you are suffering from—whether from Cataract, Inflammation. Pannus, Ptosis, Optic 1 Nerve Trouble,or in fact any affliction of the vision—l can successfully treat you. I guarantee a perfect, permanent cure for Cross Eyes, whether it be internal or external strabismus, without the use of the knife, with absolutely no risk, pain or inconvenience, without confining my patient to a dark room for a moment, or without the use of a single bandage. VISION IN LIFE—BLINDNESS IN OBLIVION. If you value your eyesight, no matter what your disease. no; matter what your thought, investigate. It is not going to cost you any money to prove to your entire satisfaction that my treatment is all I claim for it, for all I ask of yon is to send me your name and address, no matter where you live, and 1 will send you FREE an 80-page booklet, illustrated in colors, which is a classic on diseases of the eye. I will tell you who I am, what I have accomplished, and will tell you in detail of the more common troubles, their causes, their effects and their cure. Also < ther things of value to you. This is all for the mere asking. CSin you afford to delay ? Write me today and relieve your mind. My office hours are from 10:00 a. m. until 5:00 p. tn; Sundays, from 9:00 a.jm. to 11:00 a m. only. Special appointment! however, can be made by letter or wire. P. C. MADISON, M. 0.

We want to boost th’ star o’ all, that noted Pure Food Bill. • When Bill be came from Congress he wanted whisky straight, An’ is kind o’ most particular when he atarts to inf gate; An’ just th’ same about his food when be wants to eat his fill— No poison stuff in his, he says—this Pure Food Bill. He’s set again th’ coal-tar dyes, th’ flavors an’ the dope They makes from ont o' garbage, an* Bill is ripe, I hope; An’ we ought to stand right by him with good and hearty will b For he’s a pretty decent feller, this ’ere Pure Food Bill. He says there’s lots o’ sausage that’s made from scraps and meal; An* there’s lots o’ potted chicken that’s built o’ sticky veal; An’ there’s boric acid in th’ ham we put upon the grill— An’ he’s goin’ to have ’em stop it, says Pure Food Bill. We kinder like Bill’s liquor, for we know it’s pretty pure, An’ it won’t rot out our in’ards, o’ that we’re certain sure; An’ we kinder think Bill’s fodder’ll give strength to brain and will.

MRS. JOHN ADE DEAD.

Pioneer Woman of Newton County Dies at Her Home In Kentland. Kentland, Ind., Jan. 26.—Mrs. John Ade, one of the best known women of this place, and the mother of George Ade, the Indiana humorist, died today of heart failure. She has been confined to her bed for nearly two months. Mrs. Ade was a native of Ohio. She was born at Cheviott, a suburb of Cincinnati, Aug. 8, 1833. Two of her girlhood friends were the Misses Alice and j?heba Carey, who many years ago established a name in the literary world. In 1851 she was married to John Ade. For two years they kept a tollgate in Cincinnati. In 1853 they left Cincinati and went to Bumcomb, 111., an Indian trading point. They later settled in Morocco, which at that time was the only town in West Jasper county. In 1860 Mr. and Mrs. Ade moved to Kentland, where they have lived ever since. During the war of the rebellion Mrs. Ade was president of the Woman’s Soldiers’ Relief association, an organization to look after the care of Newton county soldiers. The Ade home was converted into a hospital for old soldiers and there was scarcely a day during the war of the rebellion that some unfortunate soldier was not cared for under the Ade roof. Mrs. Ade was prominent in the Methodist church and was a member of the Eastern Star Lodge. In May, 1901, Mr. and Mrs. Ade celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. Besides her husband'she is survived by six children, Mrs. JohnW. Randall, Mrs, John C. Davis, Will H., Joseph and George Ade and Mrs. W. P. McCray. There is also one brother and tw? sisters.

LIBRARY TAKES PLACE OF SALOONS AT GOODLAND.

Goodland, Ind., Jan. 25. —The saloons of this place are going and a library is coining. The closing of the five drinking resorts in a few weeks will be marked by the opening of the Goodland public library, obtained without the aid of Andrew Carnegie or other outsiders. A large storeroom has been obtained by the promoters of the library. A partition will be erected and one part of the room will be used for literary, social and other purposes. It is proposed to utilize the store shelves for book shelves, and the counters will be transformed into reading tables and a librarian’s desk. The entire interior effect will be cheerful and attractive. It is hoped to open the library With nearly 1,000 books on the shelves. One of the means used to obtain books will be a “shower.” It is proposed to invite citizens to inscribe their names in good books and at a library reception the books will be placed on the empty shelves by the donors themselves. The library board organized last night when Chalmer Hadley, secretary of the public library commission, was present to give assistance. H. F. Little was made president; R. M. Shepard, vice-presi-dent; H. A. Henderson, secretary. The other members of the board are Miss May Huston, Mrs. B. A. Constable, Mrs. Dr. Pratt, Fred Noel, John Moran and W. W. Washburn. The public library commission will assist the new library in getting started.

NORTH DAKOTA LETTER.

Lisbon, No. Dak., Jan. 25, ’O7. Editor Democrat:— Having now got settled op, a farm 5 miles east of Lisbon, we miss The Jasper County Dem-

ocrat very much, and would be pleased to have you forward it to Lisbon. We are having a pretty hard winter here. January 19th we had the worst blizzard I ever saw. There has been three or four before this one, but this beats them all. It would beat one in the face whichever way you went. But, to leave the blizzard out, the winter is not to be dreaded at all. Our well is about 125 yards from the house, and I have carried water from there in iny shirt sleeves the most of the time. The snow is deep, bandked up to the eaves of our barn on two sides. The cars are running on the triweekly plan—go one way one week and try to get back the next. They are snow bound the most of the time on this branch of the Northern Pacific railroad. I have rented a large farm and will put out 300 acres of wheat and 100 acres of oats. Hoping to receive your valuable paper, I remain. Yours truly,

IT PAYS TO BE DECENT.

Young man, why don’t you be decent? Why not grow to manhood with honor and credit instead of a stain upon your character? It is just as easy. It is always easier to be a man than to be a rowdy. Cigarettes, gambling and whisky have had many a wrestle with boys long before you came on the scene, and they have never yet been thrown. Don’t get the idea into your head that you can turn the trick. If you don’t want to be decent for yourself, be decent for others. There is one whose sorrows should appeal to you. There is one who has faced everything for your sake; one who has to bear the cross for your foolishness. You don’t want your trail through this world stained with a mother’s tears. The boy who turns a brazen face to a mother’s grief never gets very far on the road to happiness. When he gets a little older you find his name on the police docket of various cities, a little later the dark shadows of stone walls loom up across his pathway. Without honor, home or friends. ’Tie a sad picture, but it is painted every day in every town in this broad land. The pathway of the transgressor is one of rocks and thorns. When you bruise your feet the world will laugh at you, just as you laughed at your mother’s appeals. There is only one system for a boy to follow. Be decent. It always pays dividends.—Kansas City Journal.

SEED CORN SPECIAL.

February 35 to/larch 13, 1907, Over Pennsylvania Railroad. Arrangements have just been completed for the running of a special seed corn train over the Pennsylvania lines in Indiana, by the Purdue University Experiment Station. This run will include the Vandalia and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Roads. The train will start February 25, over the Effner and Logansport division, and will continue on the trip 15 days, covering 1500 miles of the Pennsylvania system in the state. More than 165 stops will be made, at which lectures will be given and printed literature distributed. Already the Experiment Station has received many letters from farmers along the route, announcing their approval of the scheme. At no time has the seed corn of the state been in a more serious condition than at the present and at no time has the Experiment Station been in a better position to lend assistance than right now. Preparations are being made to secure the best and most practical materials for the lectures, and the best men of the state are being engaged to assist in the work. All interested in corn improvement should plan to meet this train at some point along the route. Those wishing schedule or other information can obtain the same by applying to G. I. Christie, Lafayette, Ind.

NATURE’S CATARRH CURE.

Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure this Disagreeable Disease. In no other way can catarrh be cured as naturally and quickly as by the use of Hyomei breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit. In this way all the air that enters the nasal passages, the throat or the lungs, is filled with Hyomei’s healing medication, reaching the most remote air cells of the respiratory organs, and soothing and healing the irritated mucous membrane. So strong is B. F. Fendig’s faith in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrhal troubles, that with every dollar outfit he sells, he gives a guarantee to refund the money unless it cures. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but SI.OO, extra bottles, if needed, 50c.

THIS IS WORTH SAVING.

The following simple homemade mixture is said to relieve any form of Rheumatism or backache, also cleanse and strengthen the Kidneys and Bladder, overcoming all urinary disorders, if taken before the stage of Bright’s disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after meals and at bedtime. A well-known authority states that these ingredients are mainly of vegetable extraction, and harmless to use, and can be obtained at small cost from any good prescription pharmacy. Those who think they have kidney trouble or suffer with lame back or weak bladder or Rheumatism, should give this prescription a trial, as no harm can possibly follow its use, and it is said to do wonders for some people.

Now is the time to save money on boots, shoes and rubbers. Chicago Bargain Store. Public Sale.

PORTABLE HOG HOUSES. An E«»y Matter to Put Them In » New Location. A handy portable bog house In use at the Montana experiment station Is described in Orange Judd Farmer as follows: These houses have been In use for more than two months, and the Idea Is such a practical one and the outlay so small that we give our exact plan for building. It might be stated right here that the material for the roof, ends and

FIG. I—PLATFORM FOR HOG HOUSE.

floor of the hog house was ordinary 1 by 5 tongued and grooved flooring, which cost us at the rate of $23 per thousand. The other material used was the ordinary 2 by 4 scantling, which cost sls per thousand. First make a platform 6 by 6 feet, with four 2 by 4 pieces supporting It and running the entire length as skids. The platform will appear as In Fig. 1. Next a 2 by 4 is supported four and' a half feet above the center of the platform, with Its long way running the same direction as the 2 by 4 skids supporting the floor. Now begin to nail the boards that are to make tho slanting roof to the edge of the platform and also to the 2 by 4 supported above the floor. It Will not be long before the slanting roof boards will

support the 2 by 4 at the top, and the false supports may be knocked out. The hog house partly built may be seen In Fig. 2. After the roof is nailed on completely then come the ends of the house. We first fit In pieces of 2 by 4 under the roof and resting on the floor. One of these may be seen In Fig. 2. The bottoms of these are toe nailed to the floor and the tops nailed securely down through the roof. To these 2 by 4’s the end boards are nailed. The ends of the house should be so Inserted that the roof projects an Inch or so beyond, to prevent the rain leaking through In wet weather. In one of the ends the door Is made. A swinging door, as in Fig. 3, is fitted to the opening, and the hinges, which are at the top, ar,e simply loops of wire. This wire runs through holes bored above the door and also through two holes through the top of the door, the idea being to have the door swing either in or out, according to the will of the hog. Two round openings are placed, one in either end of the house, near the

FIG. III—A MOVABLE STRUCTURE.

[Will accommodate from two to six hogs, according to size.] peak of the roof. These ventilating holes are about six Inches across and are controlled by swinging blocks, fastened sufficiently stiff so as to stay wherever turned. The hog house complete, showing swinging door and ventilator hole, will appear as in Fig. 3. Now, if an armful of straw be placed Inside of one of the houses, we have a snug, comfortable and warm winter house. With these Individual houses it is a very easy matter, with the use of a horse, to draw the house to an entirely new, clean and dry location. Farm Brevities. Anybody who can drive a team can spread manure with a spreader. It’s easy to put off the short.jobs till another day, but It never pays. Down in Alabama they get the best returns by sowing their oats in November. Keep the water from lodging in the road. That’s the secret ot’ the road drag. Don’t throw away tike wood ashes. They are valuable for the lawn, garden or orchard. Put the manure upon the ground aa fast as it accumulates. You may have some trouble doing this durlug the coldest weather, but most of the year it can be done with a spreader. Watering Fowls In Winter. It is difficult to supply fresh water to poultry when the weather Is severely cold, as the water freezes and cannot be used. Earthenware fountains are often broken by expansion during freezing, and the only convenient method of providing water Is with the aid of wooden troughs, which can be scalded and kept clean with ease. To avoid freezing some poultrymen adopt the plan of watering their fowls three times a day, using tepid water, and the birds soon become accustomed to the practice. Immediately after the hens have finished drinking the troughs are emptied, placed on end out of the way and used only when the next watering of the flock occurs.
