ONE HEDICINE THAT HAS NEVER FAILED
Health Pally Restored and the Jay of

When aeheerful, brave, light-hearted
woman is suddenly plunged into that
perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is
a sad picture. It is usually this way ;
She has been feeling “out of sorts’'

for some time; head has ached and
back also; has slept poorly, been quite
nervous, and nearly fainted once or
twice; head dizzy, and heart beats very
fast; then that bearing-down feeling,
and during her periods she is exceed
ingly despondent. Nothing pleases
her. Her doctor says: • ‘ Cheer up : you
have dyspepsia; you will be all right
soon ”
But she doesn’t get “ all right,” and
hope vanishes; then come the brood
ing, morbid, melancholy, everlasting
BLUES.
Don't wait until your sufferings have
driven you to despair, with your nerves
all shattered and your courage gone,
but take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound. Sec what it did for
Mrs. Rosa Adams, of SI.) 12th Street,
Louisville, Ky., niece of the late den-
era! Roger Hanson, C.S.A. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham;
“ I cannot tell you with pen and ink what
Lydia E. I’inkham’s Yete'tabW* Compound
has done for me. 1 suffered with female
troubles, extreme lassitude, ‘the blues,’
nervousness and that all-gone feeling. 1 was
advised to try Lydia E. I’inkham’s Vegetable
Compound, and it not only cured my female
derangement, but it has restored me to perfect
health and strength. The buoyancy of my
younger days has returned, and l do not suf
fer any longer with desponder,-v, as I did be
fore. “I consider Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound a boon to sick and suffering
women.”
If you have some derangement of
the female organism write Mrs.
Dinkham. Lynn, Mass., for advice.

Asheville, N. C., Sept. ”2—It ha 1
ust leaked out how the youn'j dauph
ter of the register of deeds of .Jaek-
on county, still a minor got a He
ense, against her father’s will, to

When Miss Emma Dills. 17 years
old, .announced to her father tint she
had b ‘come engaged her father curt
ly informed her that she was too
young to marry and that he would
not give his consent to anv such ar
rangement. He refused her a icense
to 1 © married in Jackson county and
notified the legist rs in neighboring
counties not to issue such a paper to
his daughter.
The girl made no attempt to evade
the parental edict, and the matter had
been almost forgotten. Recently it
became necessary for Mr. Dills to
leave the county, and as was his
usual course lie left Miss Emma in
charge of the office.
In case anybody should apply for a
license to marry in his absence Mr.
Dills signed his name to several
blank licenses, instructing the girl
how to fill them out The young wo
man followed his instructions to the
letter, filling out one of ae blanks
with her own name and that of her
i .oetkeart. Then :.hov were married
the father v.us loreed to forgive
;• cm and nr lip the best of the '‘na
tion, for he could not entey aiit
against himself for issuing a liet j e
to a minor without her parent’s ct
sent, when he himself was the parent
and Ids name was signed to the docu
ment.

(London Globe.)
Mr. Chamberlain was once deliver

to an audience so tightly packed to
get her that no one could possibly get

the hall arose a scowling man. ‘ What
did Mr. Gladstone say in 1872?” he
howled. “Turn him out!” shouted
the audience. Three men hurled the

hustled him into the* street. A friend
who had been tit the meeting came up"
on hint later in the day. “What did
Mr. Gladstom say in 1872?'’ asked the
friend. “1 don't know',” said the man,
“I haven’t a notion. Only I'd got a

BUYl x'G A FARM
^ tide °f Great Value to Those
linking of Raising Poultry.
r Wirren n Poultry Advocate.)
In this broad land of ours there
.it t be hund eds if not thousands
hn ire looking forward to the pur
diase of a farm. In al men of Anglo-
blood there is a land hunger
tin is pretty sure one day to mani-
exr, itself. Some want a firm for a
• i <t for the summer months. Others
ant one as a haven of refuge for
i heir declining years. Still others
mfi a farm as a business proposition,
elievlng that a farm rightly handled
will yield large returns. Reil estate
agents sav that the demand for farms
were- never more active than today.
It. is for the purpose of assisting the
reader who wants a farm, and espe-
cla lv the reader who wants a poultry
r arm. that this article is written.
Location.
Where shall the prospective farm
he located? This is the first question
to he asked. Shall the buyer go to
New England with its teeming maau-
facturfng centers and its innumerable
summer resorts, its splendid markets
and its pleasant villages? Shall he
go to New Jersy, with its sandy soil
especially adapted to poultry, and its
proximity to some of the greatest
cities in the country? Shall he go to
the Middle West where the winters
are mild and food products can be
bought at. prices that touch rock bot
tom? Or shall he cross the continent
to where Petaluma overlooks San
Pablo bay—that magic town where the
hillsides are dotted with White Leg
horns as far as the eye can see and
where poultry keeping is the leading
industry?
My answer to the question is: l^o-
cate somewhere near where you are.
I do not mean necessarily to loaete in
the same town or even in the same
State, hut 1 would not advise you to
go more than a hundred miles away.
Why? Because you have struck your
roots down where you are. and men
and trees suffer from transplanting.
You know the section where you are—
the people and their peculiarities, the
•oil and climate, the markets, and a
liottsand and one things that you
■voitld have to learn ail over in a new
‘h'M. Then, too, each section has its
offsets as well as its advantages, and
in man,’ cases the gain does not com-
'leasate for the loss. I am more fa
il iar with New England than with
anv other tart of the country. It is a
grand place for pouitrymen. The
markets are among the best, in the
world. Then* tire men who are mak
ing a success in the poultry business
in everv State In the Union, and in j
every State there are men who are
making a failure .
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in
our stars.
But in ourselves, that we are un '
delings.’’
After you have settled the matter
of location the next thing is to find
the farm. There are three possible
ways. The first is to tal:*e two or
three weeks, or two or three months,
and drive through the section where
you wish to locate and look up prop
erties that are for sale. This takes
time and takes money, hut if one has
plenty of both it is not a had way. One
becomes acquainted with farm values
and can sometimes pick up a bargain
that will pay him well for the time
and money snent.
The second way is to advertise.
There are hundreds and thousands of
farms that are on the market, and an
advertisement for a farm in the right
medium will ha sure to bring numer
ous replies.
The third wav is to go to a real
estate dealer and look over his lists.
It is said that one real estate agent
in New Eng’and has 5,000 properties
on his books. It is natural for a man
with a farm to sell to place it In the
hands of a real estate agent, and in
looking over a list one ought, to he
able to find two or three properties
t^t he would like to investigate. In
dealing with an agent one must be on
his guard lest he he over-pursuaded
and purchase against his better judg
ment. It is the agent’s business to
make a sale, his comission depends
upon it. and naturally he is going to
make the property as attractive as
' ossilde There is danger that one
•nav he hypnotized. Sti 1. agents have
their place and an honest agent is a
rood friend to both buyer and seller.
I most earnes'ly ad hire the pros
uective buyer to ten all thoughts
iway from boving an abandoned farm.

tobacco is used in ma
SCHNAPPS. That’s v.hySCHN
and others of the Reynold’s brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one-
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain of one-third of the entire
increased consumption of chewing
a. id smoking tobaccos in the United
Jaw
Evidently, chewers cannot resist
the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along—one chewer makes other
chewers—until the fact is now es
tablished that there are many more
rs and pounds of tobacco
’d, to the population, in those
where SCHNAPPS tobacco

...i;\APP3 is like a cup of fine
coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey’s worth of the rcU snc^py,. sim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to
bacco lovers. All imitations con
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that
way to hide ooor tobacco improp

For the man who chev/s tobacco

r. roads Ik rter, methods of communi

Farms are higher in these towns, hut
they are worth more and sel] quicker
when placed on the market.
In even the best towns there may he
undesirable neighborhoods. The slum
is not peculiar to the city alone; the
country town often has it. In the coun
try oue is thrown much in contact
with his neighbors, and therefoie it is
important that he get in a good neigh
borhood.
2. Size and soil. The demand now
is for small farms, farms that range
from five to twenty-five acres in size.
Such farms sell better than larger
ones and are more desirable. The
large farm requires a large outlay for
machinery, and the owner must keep
help. Five acres will keep a man
busy, provided he practices intensive
farming, and will often yield a larger
profit than a big farm.
The poultry man should raise a good
portion of his own feed. No soil Is
too good for the poultryman. The
ideal soil is a sandy loam, and if there
is a slope to the south or southwest
so much the better. But fowls can be
kept upon almost any soil, provided
it is not so damp that water stands on
it a good part of the time. Even if
th soil is run out the hens will soon
bring it around if there was anything
to it to start with.
3. Water and Wood. Who does
not remember the ‘old oaken bucket”
that came splashing up from the cool
depths of the well, brimming and
overflowing with Its liquid load, and
how refreshing a draught of that water
was On a sultry summer day? A good
"“•ll on a place is worth hundreds of
dollars in health and comfort. Al
ways test the water and find out
whether the well goes dry in season
of drought. A spring or brook in the
pasture is also important.
It is a good thing if there is a wood
lot on the farm of sufficient size to
-uipp y the family fires, although this
is not indispensable.
4. Condition of Buildings. It makes
all the difference in the world in the
value of a place whether the build
ings are old and dilapidated or wheth
er they are in good repair. Nothing
s more deceptive than an old build
ing. It looks as if it only needed «
fe- slight repairs to put it in good
v’dition. but when you commence
re seems to be no place to stop.
' place Is not cheap, no matter the
•ellin r price, if the buildings are in a
tale of decay.
■i. Title. See that there are no de-
‘ects in the title. In order to do this
it may be necessary to employ a
lawyer. He will look up the records
in tin* office of the register of deeds
md report whether or not there la
any encumbrance. A mortgage upon
a ’dace need not necessarily be con
sidered an encumbrance. The buyer
sitnnlv deducts the amount of the
mortgage from the amount paid the
sel er. and assumes the liabi ity.
Always demand a warrantee deed,
and be satisfied with nothing short of
it. The cost of making out the deed
is assumed bv the seller.
It is usually best to take out an In
surance policy on tin* buildings.
Paying for the Farn.
The ideal way of paying for your
far.n of course would be cash down;
hitt in the majority of cases this is
impossible. Something must remain
on a mortgage. It is always better to
place the mortgage with a savings
Link than with the seller of the farm.
Something niav happen in a year or
two that will cause him to need the
money, and he may press the buyer
or dispose of the mortgage to a money
shark. Savings banks, on the other
hand, make a business of loaning
money on mortgages, and .as long as
the Interest is paid and the property
kept in good shape, win not distress
the mortagee. It is not generally
known, but Its a fact that savings
banks are now encouraging men to
buy farms by making it possible for
them to pay the mortgage In monthly
installments. If a man can pay $10
a month a bank will advance $1,000
on a $1,500 farm apply the month
ly payment to the reduction of both
principal and interest.
In general it should be said that a
man should not purchase a farm un
less he is aide to pay at least a third
down and then have something left
over for working capital.
Pearls are Al| the Rage.
(New York Times.)
The brilliant diamond has had its
day. The modest, tearful pearl is in
the ascendency at Newport, and all
because Mr. Leeds bought Mrs. Leeds
a pearl necklace while they were
abroad. Uncle Sam. upon seeing the
same, threw up his hands at the cus
tom house and demanded $120,000.
Now all Newport is wild to see the
pearls, which are safely guarded in
the big burglar-proof safe at the
Ixieds cottage. The neck-lace Is more
than passing fair. Never were pearls
of Cleopatra more perfectly matched.
The arrangement if Orienta. consist-
<- of sixty tfearls ranging in size from
twenty five to forty grains, the average
being thirty-two—all flawless, white
spheres and perfectly graduated No
one is allowed to see these Oriental
beauties without a written or verbal
order from Mrs I^eeds herself * She
does not believe in “casting her pearls
before swine.”

“Now I Lay Me.”
(Southern Farm Magazine.)
If a census could be made one would
probably be amazed at the vast num
ber of grown folks who clos o their
day with the wnrevised “Now I lay
me.” Many of them make it the con
clusion of prayer actually said as they
kneel at (heir bed side. Many, in sub
conscious protest against the formal
ism which dominates so much of the
public and private devotions of the
times, do not kneel, but they do not,
for-et the words they learned to lisp
as babies. Some, immersed in world
affairs and carrying their business
cares and worries into the realm of
their dreams, may not consciously
plan to pray, but they find their minds
dwelling at midnight upon the famil-
!o r lines, and they are better men and
women for that. Such folks naturally
resent the recent suggestion of revis
ion of the line. “If I should die before
I wake.” They are not afraid for any
terror by night, and many of them as
they close their eyes in final sleep
wi“ give their last thought to “Now I
lay me.”
“On the contrary, I have confidence
in both. I believe all the bad things
they sav about each other are abso
lutely true.”
A bridegroom once presented the
bridesmaids at his wedding with nearl
brooches. Judge of his dismav when
on reading the account of the cere
mony, he was informed that the
bridesmaids had all worn ‘handsome
breeches, the gift or the bridegroom.”
Sandy—T want to buy a necktie.”
Shopman (showing some fashion
able specimens)—“Here is a tie that
is very much worn.”
Sandy—”1 danna want ane that’s
very muckle worn. I’ve plenty o’
them at hame.”
