that's a mistake.
A man setting up house
keeping will postpone the
purchase of his parlor fur
niture, his carpets and may
be his portieres, but his
Window Shades and mir
ror he is sure to buy at
once the one that his
neighbors may not see him
at unseemly hours, the 9TH
er that he shall not fail to
see himself at all hours.
All householders are
equally eager to be shield
ed from public view; and
the owners of flats, apart
ments and office buildings
do not wait for tenants be-
fore they buy their Window
Shades; in fact Window
Shades are looked upon as
fixtures in all public build
ings to be provided by the
owner.
Perhaps it's a bit early
to ask you to think serious
ly about Window Shades
but you're sure to want
them later, you know, and
we offer you a saving for
an order now.
On all orders for Window
Shades taken from now till

In the Winter

Rheumatism is most prevalent because exposure
to the cold and wet drives the blood from the sur
face of the body, and causes congestion Of the iv
er and kidneys. These organs are thus unable to
perform their functions of eliminating the mpuri-
ties and Tactic acid, which are taken up by the
blood and deposited in the joints and tissues, re-
sultinR in the pains and aches we call rheuma
tism Hoods Sarsaparilla has had great success
in curing this disease, both chronic and iniam-
matory. Acting promptly on the blood, it neu-
tralizes the Tactic acid, expels all impurities, and
restores the liver and kidneys to natural action.

A California Crank.

Great events of all kinds ALWAYS
rouse into activity all the cranks of a
country, latent or in full bloom. The
California papers say that William
Palmer, known as "Rattl+snake" or
"Buckskin Bill" is rigging up a suit
for himself that will take the prize at
the Worlds Fair. The pants are to
be made Of rattlesnake hide, trimmed
with bit of every animal and hug
known to Southern California. The
whole suit when finished and on
"Buckskin Bill" will be a whole show
within itself, and will give the student
a chance to study bug, snake and
anthology Of Southern California by
analysing "Buckskin Bills" suit.
William will no doubt look upon him
self as constituting the hub of the
Worlds Fair.

ADOCTOR's CONFESSION.
He Doesn't Take Much Medicine and
Advises the Reporter Not to.

"Humbug? OF course it is. The So
called science of medicine is humbuQ
and has been from the time of Hippo
crates to the present. Why the tigxest
crank in the Indian tribes is the medi.
cine man."
Every frank was the admission, espec-
tally 80 when it came from one of the
biggest young physicians of the city, one
whose practice is among the thousands,
though he has been graduated but q few
years." says the Buffalo Courier. every
cosy was his office too, with its cheerful
CRATE fire, its Queen Anne furni ure, and
its many lounges and easy chairs. He
stirred the fire lazily, lighted fresh
cigar and went on"
Take the prescriptions laid down in
the books and what do you find? Poisons
mainly, and nauseating stufis that would
make healthy man an invalid. Why
in the world science should 20 to poisons

find any one who can"
''How does doctor know the effect OF
his medicine?" he asked. "He calls,
prescribes, and goes away. The only
way to judge would be to stand over the
bed and watch the patient. This cannot
be done. 50, really, don't know how
he 10 10 tell what good or hurt he does.
Some time ago, you remember, the Boston
Globe sent out reporter with q stated
set of symptoms. He went to eleven
prominent physicians and brought back
eleven different prescriptions. This just
shows how much science there is in
medicine"
There are local diseases of various
characters for which nature provides
positive remedies. They may not be in
cluded in the regular physicians list,
perhaps. because Of their simplicity, but
the evidence Of their curative power is
beyond dispute. Kidney disease is cured
by Warmers Safe Cure, a strictly herbal
remedy. Thousands Of persons, every
year, write as does II. J. Gardiner, Of
Pontiac, X. l., August 7, 1890:
"A few years ago suffered more than
probably ever will be known outside Of
myself, with kidney and liver complaint.

day. The farmers came in crowds
from all pats of the State, a. 1t 10 al
free, meals arc furnished At Is cents
each and rooms are provided free to
those who supply their own bedding.
Aside from the cost of the round trip
from farm to college, attendants don't
have to spend more than SO cents
day. The apparatus, library, lahora
tories stock aud experimental farm, are
used to illustrate the lectures in u
practical way. The topics include
such practical subjects a. horses feet,
forest trees, stock feeding, insects, ir.
riRxtion, wind. breaks, book keeping
and farm accounts, sheep husbsndry,
cattle diseases and their treatment,
the sugar beet, etc.
With enthusiastic lecturers and
practical illustrations, such an insti.
tute is a wonderfully good way of in.
aneura'ing the winters campaign of
educational work among farmers.
Every man who attends also gets
taste OF the real value OF our sgricul
tural colleges, and thus becomes their
hearty advocate and in time sends his
own children to he educated there.
The value Of education for the
working farmer is being more apprc.
ciated each year by the farmers them
selves. This means better farming,
better living, better profits, better
morals, better society aud above al
else, better public citizens.
