Baker, of Plainview, Neb, writes: "My wife had lung trouble for over fifteen years. We tried a number cf doctors and spent over a thousand dollars without any relief. She was very low and I lost all hope, when a friend suggested trying Foley's Honey and Tar, which I did; and thanks be to this great remedy, it saved her life. She is stronger and enjoys better health than she has ever known in tenyears. We shall never be without Foley's Honey and Tar and would ask those afflicted to try it." The Kaufmann Drug Co.

Now and again there is an item in the newspapers concerning the birth of a puny baby so small that a quart cup holds it comfortably. If the article told all the facts it would probably tell also of a mother who in weakness and misery had looked forward to the baby's advent with shrinking and fear. Tc have fine, healthy children the mother must be healthy, and it is the . common testimony of mothers that the use of Dr. Pierce's j&rt ^ Favorite Prescripflralr V) kiSL. tion not only proajffl motes the mother's health but also Rives her strength A ^ 3x?>*jGfc# to Rive her child. i.v J \llf " Favorite Pre1 V scription " accotn/ W plishes these results J $ the nerves, promoting a healthy appetite, and giving refreshing sleep. It increases physical vigor and gives great muscular elasticity, so that the baby's advent is practicallypainless. It is the best of tonics for nursing mothers. ?t orinfuv recommend Dr. Pierce's FavoHi: Prescription" -writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Nortnuraberlaud Co.. Va. "Before my third little boy was born I took six bottles. He is the finest child and has been from birth, and I suffered very much less than I ever did before. I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to use the * Favorite Prescription.' " Dr. Pierce now feels fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which he cannot cure. All he asks is a fair and reasonable trial of his means of cure. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, containing 1008 pages, is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send 31 one-cent stamps for the cloth-bound volume, or only 21 stamps for the book in paper covers. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. The Farmers' Fertilizer. The time of year is here for the farmers to begin to think about purchasing and hauling their commercial fertilizers for the year. When you go to buy your fertilizers study the analysis and see that you do not get a low grade fertilizar for a high grade price. When you expect to use it for cotton it should contain not less than 8 per cent, available phosphoric acid and 2 per cent, each of potash and nitrogen. The higher the grade the less it will cost in proportion to the amount of plant food that it contains. If you desire to mix your own fertilizer the following is a good formula: Acid phosphate (14per cent.) 1000 pounds, Muriate of potash 75 pounds, Cotton seed meal 709 pounds. If you cannot get the 14 per cent, acid the 13 per cent, wilj do as well only you will have to use a few pounds more, aDd you may use in the place of the 75 pounds of potash 300 pounds of kainit. We would be glad if every farmer would try this formula on a small scale. Lloyd. An Early Riser. A strong, healthy, active constitution depends largely on the condition of the liver.

A cy clisfc who stopped at a village inn boasted about bis abilitie as a rider to such an extent that the landlord ventured to make a wager witb him. "Lcok here, mister," said the innkeeper, "you can't ride up and down the road till the church clock strikes 4." "Done!" said the cyclist. "It's just 3.15 now," and the next minute he was speeding down the road. After about an hour's riding, the cyclist shouted to one of the bystanders, of whom many had assembled: "I say, has the church clock struck 4 yet?" "No, you idiot," was the blunt reply. "Why, our church clock never strikes at all." Itch?Ringworm. E. T. Lucas, Wingo, Ky. writes, April 45tb, 1902: "For 10 to 12 years I had been afflicted with a malady known as the "itch." The itching was most unhearfthlf! T had 0 tried for years to find relief, having tried all remedies I could hear of, besides a number of doctors.
