An interesting story is told by the n.

led the late Cardinal Lavigerie TO allow
his great beard 10 grow. to which. it has
been said, much of his authority i'm AZ

duties as archbishop he saw with regret
that the faces OF al the priests were GOV.

to visit the barber at once. There was
great excitement among tine ipug-hrarri-

WHY FARMERS LIKE TO RAISE WHEAT

WHY FARMERS LIKE TO RAISE WHEAT.
1t is a remarkable fact that the acre
age of winter wheat sown in the fall OF
1894 exceeds by 7O5, 563 the area harvested
in the same year, Notwithstanding the
low price Of that article, which the farm
erS claim is below the cost OF cultivation.
In Oregon and other large wheat-grow-
ing regions of the northwest the elevat-
ors and store houses are full of grain that
will not bring more than % cents a
bushel, although the cost Of raising IL Is
said to be nearly one third more. The
total area OF winter wheat harvested in
1894 was 23,5ls, 795 acres, while the area
now planted TO that article is 4,224, 35s
acres.
Secretary Morton's explanation Of this
phenomenon is that the American farmer
unwisely insists upon raising the crop
that requires the least manual labor re-
CARELESS OF the small profit there is in il,
and the popular superstition that two

had been beaten in the parliamentary
skirmish, and the order was withdrawn.
This was the first reverse the committee

teen years she has been badly broken
out all over her body, causing her url-
told suffering, and frequently rendering
her unable to attend school. Her arms
and limbs would crack open and bleed,
then dry up and scale off by the hand
full, and at one time an awful sore ap-
peared on her ear, which became severe
ly inhamed and almost dropped off.
The disease also broke out on her head
and her hair was a continuous mass of
scales. Her condition was truly pitia-
BILE.
"Of course we have done all we could
to relieve her, and have given her al
most every known treatment. She has
taken potash mixtures and various sa1ves
and external applications by the whole
sale, and almost every so-called blood
remedy, all without the slightest
benefit, and year by year we could not
feel the slightest encouragement that
she would ever be we'll. I was advised
several times to send her to Hot Springs,
and also to a celebrated spring in Michi-
gan, and was told that this was the only
chance on earth of her ever being cured,
as the disease was too aggravated to be
checked by medicines.
GA few months ago, someone recon-
1nended S. S. S., and as soon as her sys-
TEN had taken on the effects of this
medicine, an improvement was noticed.
She grew better all the while and con-
tinued to improve in every way We
were delighted to see her so much bet
ter and for the first time felt that she
would get we'll. The medicine was con-
tinued a while longer, and now she is
cured sound and we'll, her skin is clear
and pure, and she has been saved from
what threatened to blight her life for
ever. The cure is all the more remark
able because she inherited the disease,
which has been in our family for several
generations, and I am happy to find
in S. S. S. cure for a diseas which
all the specialists in the world fail to
cure. I consider S. S. S. most wonder
full remedy, and it certainly has no equal
for deep-seated blood diseases which all
other remedies do not seem to touch"
This experience is like that of all others
who seek relief from the many so-ca11ed
blood purifiers, only to be discouraged.
It is but folly to expect cure from this
dreadful disease by the use Of sa1ves,
lotions, or any external application.
The disease is in the blood, and
only blood remedy can eliminate it.
S. S. S. is a real blood remedy, guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and for real deep
seated blood diseases, has no equal. It
cures permanently Scrofu1a, letter,
Rheumatism, and all of the many blood
diseases. 1t has made some truly re-
markab1e cures of Cancer, full accounts
of which can be had on application; our
