For the woman who is inclined TO be
stout or the one who wishes to keep
her figure looking as slender as possi-

OF underwear so arranged that they win

yoke should be under the corsets In
assuming your corsets just rememb Der
that if they are to be comfortable and
keep the outline of your shape, and not
that which the dressmaker would wish
you to have, let them be the last thing
you assume before putting on your
dress. and do be little careful in choos-
ing your corset Get one that is not too
large, or not too small, but TO fit you,
and then you will not have either a red
nose from tight lacing, or your hands
frozen from the same cause, nor will
you be uncomfortable because II is so
loose upon you. Nobody wants people
to lace; that is nobody with any sense

PURE-6REo POULTRY.
If 1t Pays to Raise other Hooded stock
Why Not Fowls?

If 1t Pays to Raise other Hooded Stock
Why Not Fowls?
Every poultry keeper who has accu-
mulated money in the poultry business
knows to a certainty that pure bred
fowl is worth more per ounce than a
mongrel is per pound. But why is this
so? Simply because the pure bred
fowl has been cultivated for years and
through generation after generation
for specific purpose, while the mon
grel or scrub is but the product of
chance has no fixed traits or charac-
teristics peculiar TO itself, aud conse-
quently is unreliable. sometimes
think that people often keep poultry
Just to hear 'em crow. | cannot help
thinking so when | see Fl fteen roosters
strutting about barnyard with TWEEN
ty hens. Did anybody ever hear one
who keeps iirst-class stock of any sort,
adapted TO his locality say that p)ul-
try was an expense? | think not
Does the man who keeps pigs which
will convert bushel of corn into four
teen pounds of pork. and weigh two
hundred pounds at six months of age
say that hogs are Improbable stock?
Neither does the man who raises any
variety Of pure bred poultry and keeps
them up to the highest standard say
that fowls are unproftable He knows
they are exceedingly profitable. If
there is anything in agriculture or
stoclz-raising which has been more
thoroughly or clearly demonstrated to
be plain unvarnished truth than that
it always pays to have the best of
everything, | don't know what it is
Yet we see farmers planting inferior
seed and breeding mediocre stock. and
then wailing because they do not get
superlative beasts and birds First
class, pure-bred stock requires no more
room and no more feed than scrub
stock, while it invariably sells for near
lv twice as much. If il pays to keep
first-class horses, cattle, sheep and hogs
and no enlightened man denies it.
then it likewise pays to keep first-class,
pure bred poultry, and the farmer who
fails to do ii is not living up to his priv
ileges. Orange Judd Farmer

the great, gripping, old-fashioned
pill. There's too much unpleasant
ness for the money. Ought to be
better, too. They're big enough,
and make trouble enough, to do
more good.
That's just what Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets do, more good.
Instead of weakening the system,
they renoyate it instead of up
setting, they cleanse and regulate
it mildly, gently, and naturally.
They're the original Little Liver Pills
the smallest but most effective,
purely vegetable, perfectly harmless,
and easiest to take. Only one
little Pellet for a gentle laxative
three for cathartie. Sick Head
ache, Bilious Headache, Constipa-
tion, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
and all arrangements of the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels are promptly
relieved and permanently cured.
They're the cheapest pills you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. You pay only for the good
you get. It's plan peculiar to DIR.
Pierce's medicines.
