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 bear 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 k 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 thing's that lam QfS&r TWz- proud of is in the uninterrupted my successful career covering many W years. I have eliminated the new/% cessity of using the dangerous and \ V/////// painful knife on the delicate eye, V/////// and there is hardly a day passes ffak but what I make cures where othwx!7//// 2 I V//7// ers have advised that only an operZ, k V///// , , ■ ation would bring relief. My sue'Wrf//'/// W 1 lzz/z> ////> cess has not been brought about NilU/, 1 ///. JjnuA Y/////////. by a cure to-day and a failure to'/Sy//,# Jjl ////J success. Take for instance my '/////m' Jy// '”‘‘y////,'//'/// treatment for Cataract, which is Xl I / /1.t,. //////////// one of the most dreadful and most Zz/ZV/z obstinate troubles to deal with, XVfcSr/ x'f 'y////// Other oculists tell you it can only \ '''///// he treated successfully by means ////// of a dangerous operation. To-day /// my treatment is prononneed the J ' wmkUTrav/ only SURE knifeless treatment i UN Hw////\ T'll — WT/jA/nMN known. And why? Because the I W!Inllll^sfy/l!\ x \ cures have been so uniform. Had 'VJI/l\llTrn///h\ X. 1 I 'll///! I only cured a few cases nowand UlllllNlilrx///l \ 1 y[ff//IlllnSi then, it would be said, “You might llllN \ \A Nilll //m\ be cured by Dr.Madison’streatW/Z/A Bil/N//// \ 11 Nlllllll///* ment,” but it is the uniformity of if//// IWI Xf/// \ 11 V/ Uli'/ cures in the most difficult cases Illi Ink XV//. \ V/, i/r that causes people to say, “You 'll Ini Will \ 11 111 V can positively be cured by the •J' |J||\ l\\\7 i ' W z Madison Absorption Method. 7/Pl\\\ll> \ V Take for instance, these few tes*”J \ >' v | y timonials taken at random : Mrs. F. L. Wintermute, 121 Second AMCRIOA-S MASTER OCULIST. St., Jackson, Mich., under date of (COPYBIGHTBD) October 18, 1806, writes: "After having been repeatedly told that there was no cure for my cataracts except an operation, to-day my eyes are perfect by 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: “1 deem it a pleasure, as well as a duty to mankind, to certify to the benefits received from using your h?™c 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 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. Can you afford to delay ? Write me today and relieve your mind. My office hours are from 10:00 a. m. until 5:00 p. m; Sundays, from 9:00 a. m. to 11:00 a m. only. Special appointment, however, can be made by letter or wire. P. C. MADISON, M. 0.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

The Indian Runner Duck. This is the Leghorn of the duck family. It is small in size—four to four and one-half pounds—but is noted for its heavy laying. The colors are fawn or gray and white, fawn preferred. It matures early. It will thrive better without water, except for drinking, than most other breeds, hence is better suited for general farm purposes. The ducklings are more easily raised than chicks, as they are not troubled with lice or mites, are less subject to disease and require extra heat for a shorter time. They must have shade in warm weather and always water t« drink. The mature ducks are more cheaply housed than fowls, requiring only a dry shed or house with litter on the floor. They are great foragers, needing less supplied feed than other ducks or fowls. At the same time the home instinct is strong, so they are pretty sure to return to their quarters at night. The eggs are large and are said to be of firmer texture than hens’ eggs, hence better for culinary purposes.—Chicago Record-Herald. Feeding Corn to Cattle. In a test made at the Nebraska station last winter, where shelled corn was compared with corn and cob meal, it was found That the latter proved to be worth 65 cents per hundred pounds of corn as compared with 62% cents per hundred for shelled corn. The difference of 2% cents per hundred in faj»or of the ground corn would not pay for the grinding. It was noted during the experiment that the cattle receiving corn and cob meal did not eat as much as those fed shelled corn, no doubt because a full feed of corn, containing all the cob on which the corn grew, furnishes rather too much bulk for best purposes. This winter one half of the corn Is being fed as snapped corn and the other half as shelled corn. While the feeding has not progressed far enough to warrant any conclusions, the Indications are that half of the com fed as snapped corn supplies all the cob that is desirable. x Grinding Feed. The question Is often asked, Does it pay to grind the feed for fattening animals? The Nebraska station has found that it does not. Professor Smith, who has charge of the feeding at that station, in a recent article says: “In feeding tests that have been made at different experiment stations it has been found that while steers fed ground corn in comparison with whole corn make slightly better use of the feed it is also true that In all such cases the difference in favor of the meal is not great enough to pay for the cost of the grinding. At least this is true where there are enough pigs running behind the cattle to utilize the waste. It sometimes happens that later in the feeding period cattle become more or less tender In the mouth, under which circumstances it is a good plan to grind the feed.

Green Bone For Egg Layers. In recent years the practical poultryman has been able to double his egg supply in the winter by a careful study of egg producing foods. Prominent among these must be placed green cut bones, a food that is easily and cheaply obtained and that Is undoubtedly the greatest egg producer ever fed to hens. The bone when finely cut while It Is still green supplies that element of animal food so needed and so relished by fowlj, taking the place of the bugs and worms which the hens devour so greedily upon the range. Moreover, the bone supplies the mineral matter so needed for egg formation, the lime, the phosphate, the magnesia, and is In short an Ideal egg food.— American Agriculturist. Nut Growing. The American Fruit and Nut Journal says that there Is no class of people more favorably situated for nut growing than the farmers and suggests planting about farm buildings, along lanes and in odd corners. Nut trees may be planted for ornament and shade as well as for use. Hickory nuts will flourish in New England and the chestnut In the central and some of the southern states. In the central west walnuts will flourish, while In the south Atlantic and gulf states the pecan and other nut bearers thrive. And all will yield a profit. Lice on Hortee. Kerosene oil Is a very effective remedy for lice on animals, but requires to be applied with care In order to prevent taking off the hair. Pour half a pint of the kerosene In a bucket of water. Dip in an ordinary whisk broom and sprinkle over the animal and rub It into the hair with your fingers. Sponging the skin with benzine Is perhaps better. But the following Is better than either of the foregoing: Rub In either sulphur ointment or four ounces of sulphuret of potassium dissolved In one gallon of water or with tar water.—Atlanta Constitution. Don’t Coddle the Turkey. Of wild ancestry, the turkey doesn’t need coddling, and the more freedom it has and the nearer to natural conditions it Is kept the better It thrives. While there have been many failures and losses, the scarcity and high prices render It worth while to experiment In raising turkeys in new localities.— Farming. Shelter the Hen*. The man who compels hte chickens to roost upon the wagon wheels In winter need not be disappointed If the nest is always empty, for there is no particular affinity lietween a round egg and a round wagon wheel.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Cleaning Grimy Hands. When the hands are filled with grime do not try to remove It with soap and water, but fill them with some sort of grease, and for tills plain lard is as good as anything else, although vaseline or olive oil will do. Let this remain ten minutes. It loosens the dirt. Then fill a bowl with warm water, never hot, and use a good soap and a brush with rather soft bristles. If another suds is needed, use it, and perhaps more of the grease, but do not leave the grime in the skin. To Renovate a Shiny Coat. To remove the “shine” roll the coat! upon damp muslin, keeping the latter Inward and pressed closely against the cloth. Leave it thus for sdme hours, then bold the moistened coat over a heated surface, such as the plate of a stove. It should not approach the plate too nearly. Keep it several inches away. Now hang in the air to dry. The gloss will return with wear, of course. Sometimes it may be removed by sponging with ammonia. Cleaning Alabaster. Alabaster ornaments can be beautifully cleaned by immersing them for some time in milk of lime, washing afterward In clean water, then dusting when dry with a little French chalk. The milk of lime is made by mixing enough slaked lime in water to give it a milky appearance. A second and very simple way is to use soap and water with a little washing soda or ammonia, rinsing thoroughly afterward. Dainty China. Delicate pieces of bric-a-brac are often broken by upsetting them with a dust cloth or by accidentally touching them when reaching for something else on the same shelf. To prevent this weigh down every vase or jar that Is not quite heavy in itself with sand or small shot. It will not require a great deal in each piece and will often save a valued possession. This is especially useful where there are small children. Dustless Ash Sifter. The ash sifter shown here looks ideal in construction. It is cylindrical in shape and made of sheet metal. The cover is made in two sections, one-half being hinged to the other. The ashes are taken directly out of the fire and

placed In the top of the sifter. The sifting is accomplished by means of a wire screen operated by a handle at the side. The screen is invisible, the opening in the side of the can to allow free operation of the handle being very small. There is thus small chance for the dust to escape. A small opening in the lower end serves to afford a method of dumping the waste. Ironing Tablecloths. Tablecloths should be stretched the last thing before ironing. Each cloth should then be well snapped, doubled down its length, right side outward, and ironed with very hot irons. For this heavy irons are best, and the linen must be pressed until perfectly dry, else It will not be glossy or show the pattern as it should. Even thin, coarse goods so finished will look well.

BEWARE OF “DIGESTIVES.”

The Only Way to Cure Stomach Disorders is By Strengthening the Digestive Organs. The ordinary “dyspepsia” tablet has ruined more stomachs than all other causes combined. Giving temporary relief, it leaves the digestive system weaker than ever, and the tablets must be continued with increasing frequency. The only way to completely cure stomach troubles is by strengthening the digestive organs with a Mi-o-na stomach tablet taken before meals. Used in this way Mi-o-na excites the secretion of gastric juice, and when the food is swallowed, the stomach is ready to digest it. Mi-o-na stomach tablets are never sold in bulk, but in a neat box convenient for the purse or vest pocket, at 50c. A guarantee is given by B. F. Fendig with every box of Mi-o-na, that money will be refunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction. This shows his faith in the merits of the remedy.
