YELLOW FEVER THE PAST.

~
Bad as the yellow fever now is in
the Southwest, j. is no: so bad as it
has been in that quarter. In 1858 the
scourge was much worse. In New
Orleans, for example, the maximum
of deaths per day so FAR attained has
been 1O3. August I'D of that year
there were 254 deaths fro m the pesti.
lencc, and on no day of that month
were there less than l10 deaths, while
most of the time they averaged at least
$50 daily. The resident population
was not then, it is estimated, over SO,-
GOO, and of these Il, 900 died that sea-
son, compared with which the present
mortality, distressing though it be, is
small. In 1922, when the yellow fe-
yer prevailed i'll New York, there was
Il great panic; the city was fenced in
below the City Hall Park-the infect
wards-the merchants, bankers, and
professional men, and the municipal
government moved TO the village of
Greenwich, now one of The upper
wards; and yet, despite the alarm,
barely 200 persons died. Just before
the close of the last century the fever
in New York destroyed $500 lives, land
then New York had not more than
$4,000 people, mortality of l in ev-
cry 20 Inhabitants. We hear now
much more of the fever IN 1922 than
of the fever in 1893. How fortunate
that we so readily forget both our sOr-
rows and our ca!amities IN. Y,
Times.

WHAT SALARY DOES A FARMER
RECEIVE.

lie receives the equivalent of lar.
ger salary than nineny-nine out of
hundred of them are willing to admit.
They underestimate their own profits,
living on a salary.
There is grea! difference among
those who live by farming. a great
many work the soil because they do
not know what else to dc, or because
they cannot live by anything else.
Many of this class hardly deserye to
be classed as farmers. They lower the
standing of farming az business. l
believe there is no business by which
a man can live so well with so much
neglect, as agriculture. Still nothing
better repays good care and ability. 1t
is rather slow to yield brilliant return
at the outset !; so is any business. The
farmers profits are concealed in the
rise of land-in improvements by
more land, more tools, or better stock.
Most farmers have no idea how much
it costs them to live. They forget to
figure in the pork, poultry, mutton,
butter, flour, vegetables. etc. The sal
airy man lives entirely by his individ-
ual efforts. In estimating 4 salary VIC
must do so by looking at the privileges
enjoyed, the hard work of the brain
and muscles, and the gain in property

yesterday at least one case of quicken

notice. "A young man entered the car
paid his nickel, and was handed a
tract headed: sAre you Sinner =?
He turned pale at once, read a few
lines, and suddenly called out:
Yes, am! put bad nickel in
the fare box, but now I'll begin a new
life by being honest. Here, driver,
change this half dollar and I'll pay my
fare over againv
The change was given him and he
paid, bat after riding block or so he
left the car to see a man on the walk.

are still the most thOrougrand search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orOuS health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
cased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely Withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffled the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their apericnt action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not intlamed. They
reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the clements OF weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in al climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleteriO:ls drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresi. and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
