A WET SEASON.

This present wet season has been
productive of a very large crop of dis
eases that come with frequent changes
of weather. Such maladieS as rheuma-
tism and pneumonia and pleurisy are
directly brought on by colds which
fasten on the kidneys and disable them.
The result is that these organs fail to
take the uric acid out of the blood and
it remains to poison the whole system.
1t has long been known that rheurna-
tism came from this source but it is
only recently that it has been demon
strated that pneumonia and pleurisy
come from the same cause. This is
why pneumonia is so frequent in hot
climates and warm ATTITUDES. This
malady and indeed all of them yield
to treatment with RElD'S GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE This
great remedy is the best thing for
every disease that attacks the excretory
organs. 1t contains no poison so that
it can be taken at any time and with
no fear of dangerous results. The
small bottles are twenty-five cents and
the large ones fifty cents.

There Is one means of salvation for a
colt of this kind: let up on his work,
begin again slowly after he has recov-

education and training prescribed for
the foal, and give him lots of time to

OF observation the writer has become
convinced that most of the diseases of
the feet and legs of young horses are
due to too rapid training, making them

A western Triumph.


The wonderful progress OF Chicago in the
manufacturing field duriug the past decade
mas proved genuine eye-opener to Eastern
people, and many OF her own citizens while
dimly conscious OF her growth in this re-
spect are not fully alive 10 the immense
benefit which accrues to the city by the
gradual location OF great manufactures in
her vicinity. In every day lines such rs
packing, milling and kindred Industries
Chicago has long been acknowledged the
king Bee," but it will surprise most peo-
pie TO learn that in the manufacture of
musical Instruments also, the largest fac.
tory in existence Is located in Chicago.
Nevertheless 1t is fact that Lyon Il
Healy turn out more goods annually than
any similar factory in the world. Last year
their output was upward of 100000 musical
instruments and this year judging by the
increase thus far the result will be con-
siderably greater. The instruments made
by them include Pianos, Organs, Harps,
Guitars, Banjos, Mandolins, Drums and
band instruments, and the quality is so far
superior to the European product, that the
consumer cheerfully pays moro money for
the homemade article. To the thinking
mind 1t is a real pleasure to know that our
people have made such remarkable prog
gress In this artistic line, and to the West.
ern man particularly 1t is matter of pride
70 know that to his section belongs this
high distinction.
