THE TRUST AFTER NO.TO.BAC.

Estimated That Halt Million Tobacco
Users Will BE Cured In '94 bv the Use
of No-To-Bac, Causing Loss of Many
Millions of Dollars to Tobacco Manu-.
facturers.
Chicago, August 11-[special.l 1T was re-
ported to-day that large sum OF money has
been offered the proprietors OF the cure tor
the tobacco habit called "No-To-Bac, which
Is famous all over the country for its Won
derful effect. This offer, it was said. was
made by parties who desire to take It of the
market and stop its sale. because OF its In
jury to the tobacco business. Mr.. II. l..
Kramer, general manager OF the No-To o-Bac
business, was interviewed at his ofhce, 40
Randolph street, and when questioned
promptly said:
tsNo, sir ;No-To-Bac Is not for sale to the
tobacco trust. We just refused half mill
Jon from other parties for our business.
Certainly No-To-Bac affects thetobacco busi-
ness. It will cure over half million people
in 1894, at an average saving OF $50. which
each would otherwise expend for tobacco,
amounting in round figures to s25, ,O0o, ,O9o.
OF course, tobacco manufacturers and deal
ers' loss is the gain OF the party taking No
To-Bac. Does No-To-Bac benefit physicallyY
Yes, sir. The majority OF our patients re-
port an immediate gain in flesh, and their
nicotine saturated systems are cleansed and
made vigorous. How is No-To-Bac sold?
Principally through our travelling agents.
We employ over thousand. 1t Is also sold
by druggists, wholesale and retail, through
out the United States and Canada. HOW are
patients assured that No-To-B Bac will affect
cure In their case? We absolutely guarantee
three boxes, costing $50, to cure any case;
Failure to cure means the money back. Or
course there are failures. but they are few.
and we can better afford to have the good
will of an occasional failure than his money.

Meanwhile they live in place of
internal dins. The crash and thun-
der of the machinery is like the roar
of an immense cataract. The room
shrieks and blares and bellows.
Clouds of dust blur the air until the
windows shine pallidly afar off. All
the structure is a-tremble from the
heavy sweep and circle of the ponder
GUS mechanism. Down in the midst
of it sit these tiny urchins, where
they earn ffty-five cents each day.
DESCENDING THE SHAFT.
Over in front of a little tool house,
man smoking pipe sat on bench.
eyes," he said, '1'll take yeh down
if yeh like" He led US by the little
cinder paths to the shed over the shaft
of the mine. A gigantic fan wheel
near by was whirling swiftly. 1t
created cool air for the miners, who
on the lowest vein of this mine were
some 1850 feet below the surface.
The black, greasy cables began to
run swiftly. We stood staring at
them and wondering. Then of sud-
den the elevator appeared and stopped
with crash. 1t was plain wooden
platform. Upon two sides iron bars
ran up to support stout metal roof.
The men upon it, as it came into view,
were like apparitions from the centre
Of the earth.
A moment later we marched aboard,
armed with little lights, feeble and
gasping in the daylight. There was
an instant's creak of machinery and
then the landscape, that had been
framed for US by the doorposts of the
shed, disappeared in fash. We were
dropping with extraordinary swiftness
straight into the earth. 1t was a
plunge, fall.
The dead black walls slid swiftly by.
They were swirling black chaos on
which the mind tried vainly to locate
some coherent thing, some ineligible
spot. One could only hold fast to the
iron bars and listen to the roar Of this
implscable descent. It was a journey
that held threat of endlessness.
Then suddenly the dropping plat
form slackened its speed. 1t began to
descend slowly and with caution. At
last, with crash and a jar, itstopped.
Before us stretched an inscru table
darkness, soundless place of tangible
loneliness. Into the nostrils came
subtle strong odor of powder smoke,
oil, wet earth.

In large room sat the little slate

having been masticated by the great

long iron troughs. The boys sat
straddling these troughs, and as the
mass moved slowly, they grabbed deft-
ly at the pieces of slate therein. There
were five or six Of them, one above
another, over each trough. The coal
is expected to be fairly pure after it
passes the final boy. The bowling ma
chinery was above them. High up,

FERTILIZER FOR COTTON.

In response I'd a frequent inquiry by
the brethren in regard to giving cotton
for fertilizer, / have succeeded In OBJ
tanning a contract which may be of
service. For 300 pounds of middling
cotton, delivered f, o. b. at your depot,
not later than the first day of Novem-
Der, 1894, you can get a ton of N. @.
Alliance Official guano, the guano to
be shipped from any point you may
prefer from which the company ships.
You pay freight on the fertilizer, the
company pays freight on cotton.
No Y. bear in mind that the cotton
must Be middling, and if it does not
grade up to middling, you will have to
pay the difference between the price OF
middling and the grade you deliver,
You will also be required to guarantee
the weight Of cotton so delivered, or
have it weighed by q worn weigher at
point of shipment. OF course your
shipments of cotton must be made &C
cording to direction of the company.
All brethren wishing to avail them
selves of this opportunity, will please
direct their correspondence to Durham
Fertilizer Company, Durham, n. c.,
who will give all the information de-
sired. In no case write to this office
about this matter.
The above arrangement does not in
any way effect our present contract.
Fraternally,

N. B.-The prices of guano adver-
tised and sent out from this Office are
without interest and payable at the
dates mentioned. If not paid at ma
turity, interest will be charged.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

I desire to call the attention of the
members of the Alliance who have
still, notes and unpaid accounts for fer
tilizer, to the fact that the Durham
Fertilizer Company have been e
tremely lenient with them during the
financial depression, and have waited
on the Alliance people and have car
ried their notes and accounts In a time
them, and caused them many hard
ships, but they did this with the pur
pose Of protecting and helping the ALI
ance brethren when they sorely needed
this help. Brethren, you now have
your crops on hand, and while these
products may be very low, you owe 1t
to yourselves, to your Alliance and to
the company, to pay at once all that is
due for fertilizer. Let me beg you and
insist that you will at once send to the
company any. sums that you may be
due them. They must have this money
to furnish usfertilizer again this spring,
and q payment to them now means a
credit to you again in the spring. 50
do not delay another day, but send the
money to them at once This is I'M
portant and must be attended to at
once.
We are going to furnish you the same
high grade goods that we have done
heretofore, and do all we can to accom-
modate you this year, but to get this
favor you must pay up what you owe
Fertilizers are ready for shipment
now for the spring trade, and you can
send in your order.

and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
a the skin a little, remove a portion
OF the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin Over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the lncision as small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, etc in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry can be sold to a
limited extent when there is no other
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, or entrails, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
Packing. Poultry should be entirely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, iG will be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No, 1 stock of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 2 stock in separate pack
ages. 1fyou have any old bull turkeys,
put them in a separate package o. with
No. 3 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight, and see that the boxes are
so full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be no possibility of the
contents shifting about, Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
are inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured.
