RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED

Mrs. Cota, Confined to Bed and In Constant Pain, Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Rheumatism can be inherited and that fact proves it to be a disease of thbblood. It is necessary, therefore, to treat it through the blood if a permanent cure is expected. External applications may give temporary relief from pain but as long as the poisonous acid is in the blood the pain will return, perhaps in a new liams’ Pink Pills cure rheumatism because they go directly to the seat of the disorder, purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. Henry Cota, of West Cheshire, Conn., is the wife of the village machinist. “Several years ago,” she says. “I was laid up with rheumatism in my feet, ankles and knees. I was in constant pain and sometimes the affected parts would swell so badly that I could net get about at all to attend to my household duties. Then' was one period of three weeks during which I was confined to the bed. My sufferings were awful and the doctor’s medicine did not help me. ‘ ‘ One day a neighbor told me about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and I decided to ftfry them. After I had taken them a short time I was decidedly better and a few more boxes cured me. What is better, the cure was permanent.” Remember Dr. Williams’Pink Pills do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. They tone up the stomach and restore impaired digestion, bring healthful, refreshing sleep, give strength to the weak and make miserable, complaining people strong, hungry and energetic. They are sold by all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

In the Interests of Truth.

“I want to know,” said the attorney for the plaintiff, who was cross-examin-ing the witness, “just what the defendant said when my client told him he was a bigamist, and that the facts had been found but.” T, He didn’f’sayanything,” answered the witness. “Well, what did he do?” “He acted kind 0’ hasty.” “I want to know exactly how he acted.” “Want me to show you?” “Yes.” The witness suddenly reached over, grabbed the attorney by the hair, threw him down on the floor, and proceeded tc hammer him. “This is the way he acted,” he said “till the other fellows interfered. Some of you chaps pull me off, will you?” It was tough on the lawyer, but it wor the case for him.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is way to cure deafness, and that Is by remedies. Deafness is caused .by an Inflamed condition of the mucous'liniug of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

First Impressions.

The Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth Rock. “The agricultural outlook is bilious,” they said, “but for the study of geology there isn’t a place on the whole blooming coast that can hold a candle to it.” Herewith they began collecting rocks, and their thrifty descendants have continued to do the same, even unto the present day.

Edition's Future City.

Considerable discussion has been aroused by a signed prophecy of Thomas A. Edison, detailing what our large cities will be like 100 years hence. He says they will be free from smoke and steam, and that the chimney will be a thing of the past, while the waste of coal and other fuel will be stopped through the use of electricity, generated direct from the fuel without the aid of engine, boiler or dynamo. In factories each machine will have its individual motor. Houses will be heated electrically, and most of the cities’ noises will cease. Skyscrapers will be universal in the business section, and the streets will be bridged oter at different heights to facilitate transit from one side to the other. He estimates that buildings will then average thirty stories in height, aud the greater number will be constructed of concrete and steel. Such buildings, he says, will stand a thousand years or longer. His new battery will make electricity portable for street vehicles or airships.

Gorky Airs His Grouch.

Press dispatches from Milan, Italy, tell of the publication of Maxim Gorky's “Impressions of the United States.” The first part is devoted to the “City of the Yellow Demon,” meaning, of course, the money god, and referring to the city of New York. Throughout the volume the Russian author vents his dislike of people and things American.

A Town of Five Thousand Boys.

The trustees of the Winona (Ind.) assembly announce that they have authorised Judge William Brown of the Salt Lake juvenile court to organize a town to be populated by 5,000 boys, policed by boys and governed by boys and for boys’ pleasure and profit, as an attraction for next year’s assembly. The boys will live in tents, and in connection with the scheme will be a school for officers of the Y. M. C. A., Sunday schools, public schools, juvenile judges and settlement workers.

THE FARMER IN WESTERN CAN-' ADA.

.t• • • • The q,u«lltr of No. 1 Hard, Wheat Cannot Be Beaten. The Canadian West in the past five or ten years has given a set back to the theory that large cities are the bone of a country and a nation’s best asset. Here we have a country .where no city exceeds 100,000, and where only »ne comes within easy distance of that figure, according to the census just taken and where no other city reaches a population exceeding 15,000. The places with a population over 5,000 can be counted upon the fingers of one hand, and yet the prosperity that prevails Is something unprecedented in the history of all countries past or present. The reason for this marvelous prosperity is not hard to seek. The large majority of the 810,000 people who inhabit Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have gone on to the farm, and have betaken themselves to the task of not only feeding and clothing themselves, but of raising food for others less happily circumstanced. The crop of 1906, although not abnormal, is an eye-opener to many who previously had given little thought to the subject. Ninety million bushels of wheat at 70 cents per bushel —$63,000,000 ; 76,000,000 bushels of oats at 30 cents per bushel —$22,800,000; 17,000,000 bushels of barley at 40 cents per bushel —$6,800,000; makes a total of $92,600,000. This is altogether outside the root products; dairy produce, and the returns from the cattle trade; the beet sugar and the -various other by-products of mixed farming. When such returns are obtainable from the soil it is not to be wondered at that many are leaving the congested districts of the east, to take upon themselves the life of the prairie farm and the labor of the ■'husbandman. With the construction of additional railroads, new avenues for agricultural enterprise are opening up, and improved opportunities are offered to the Bettier who understands prairie farming, and is willing to do his part in building up the new country. This is the theme that Mr. J. J. Hill, the veteran railroad builder in the West, has laid before the people in a series of addresses which he has given at various points during the past few months, and, having been for so long identified with the development of the West, there are few men better qualified than he to express an opinion upon it. Take care of the country, says he, and the cities will take care of themselves.

The farmers of the Western States and the Canadian West are more prosperous than ever before, and when it comes to measuring up results, the Canadian appears to have somewhat the better of it. His land is cheaper, in fact, the government continues to give free homesteads to settlers, and the returns per acre are heavier when the crop is harvested. Farming land iti the Western States runs from S6O 1o $l5O an acre and up, whereas equally good soil may be purchased in Canada for $8 to sls per acre, within easy reach of a shipping point, and much of this is available for free homesteading. The quality of the Canadian No. 1 hard wheat cannot be beaten, and the returns to the acre are several bushels better than on this side of the line. The soil and climate of that country being peculiarly adapted to wheat growing. The fact is evidently appreciated by the large number of American farmers who have in the past two or three rears settled In the Canadian West. The igents of the Canadian government, whose address may be found elsewhere, advise us that for the fiscal year 1904-5, the records show that 43,543 Americans settled in Canada, and In 1905-6 the number reached 57,796. From all of which it appears that at present there is a good thing in farming in Western Canada, and that the American farmer is not slow to avail himself of it.
