Mrs. Mary Norens Wife Of . Well
Known Farmer Near Valparaiso,
Brought Back to Health and Strength
by Popular Remedy-Her State
nent Of the Cure.
From the Star. Valparaiso Ind
The attention Of the Star having been
called to several cases Of radical cures ef-
fected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, 1t was determined to inves-
tigate some of the more notable of these
cases, with a view TO disseminating exact
information on the subject and benefiting
others who were suffering. Prominent
among those who had experienced bene-
fits from the use Of this remedy was men
tioned Mrs. Mary Noren, wife Of John
Noren, a prosperous farmer, living north
east Of Valparaiso, Ind, and to her q re-
porter was accordingly dispatched.
Mrs. Noren was found busily engaged
In household duties, but she found time to
detail her experience, and was willing and
even anxious that the benefits she had felt
should be told for the benefit of those who
had suffered as she did.
Il had been i'll since girlhood with q
complication of complaints" said Mrs.
Noren, never SO much an to be confined
long in bed, but suffered intense misery.
My chief trouble was with my stomach.

had been diagnosed by different physi-
clans as dyspepsia and sympathetic de-
rangement dependent on the condition Of
the generatiye organs-I had pains in the
back, sometimes so great as to make me
unable to work, and frequent bilious at
tacks. 1 also suffered greatly from con-
stipation, from which i never could find
permanent relief. Then these symptoms
were aggravated by rheumatic pains be-
tween the shoulder blades, which were
most excruciating in damp or cold weather
After my marriage, about five years ego,
and when my baby was born, the trouble
seemed to increase, and l was frequently

used numerous remedies, but all in vain,

Mr.. G. d. Rushton, the druggist, and 1
began to use them. From the first l be-
gan to feel relief. and before three boxes

stipation was cured and the other trou-
bles were so much relieved that l felt
better than 1 had felt for years. As

the wrists. These sleeves are an ex-
tremely stylish sort, and like many an
other forerunner of the entirely tight
sleeve are almost as trying TO thin arms
as an alright sleeve would be. Still
some women do not realize this and
rush into sleeves of this general kind,
all the while decrying the coming
sleeve as something altogether dread
full. This kind of self-deception is one
of the factors in bringing on the tight
sleeves, despite all that is said against
that the approaching fashion will have
a hearty welcome from every woman
whose arms are shapely.
This sleeve is frankly tight for all of
its length that Is not hidden by it's puff,
but In the next picture sleeve Is
shown that in outline Is not unlike the
bygone big puffs, yet which really Is
tight clear TO the shoulder The ap-
pllque pattern in black braid ends ut
the edge of the revers, and there the
puffs are so lightly caught UP that 1t
needs hut a twitch of the thread when
ever Dame Fashion demands it to leave
the arms outline entirely barred. When
she does pull the cord that makes her
fashions toys work she will probably
demand tight sleeve of different
shape from those that are now slightly
marked, to the end that there shall be
no chance to plan tight sleeves now,
drape their upper parts, and later on
remove the drapery and disclose
sleeves that shall pass rs brand-new
and of latest pattern.
While the current rule is to have
street dresses clear the ground all
around, there Is with some careful
dressers tendency to stick to a quite
different effect. These women are
usually middle aged or older. and they
are apparently actuated by 4 desire for
something dignified and stately. 1t ID
costume OF this sort that is the artists
final contribution here. AS will be
seen, the skirt was cut long at the back,
giving train suggestion, and 1T was

scale, the punches were pulled by hand
and placed In piles until thoroughly
dried out. To-day large growers use
machines for cutting of the plants. A
puller is shown in Fig. 1. Two rows
are pulled at the same time. The hori-
zontal knives run jut beneath the sur
face Of the ground and cut off the
stems. The tops are brought close to-
gether by the rods above the knives.
They can then be easily gathered up
with fork and placed In the shock.
Allow the shocks to remain in the field
until thoroughly dried. The shocks
after thorough drying can be placed in
a stack or hay NOV. Care must al
ways be exercised to prevent much
packing while being stored, otherwise
molding will ensue. Avoid tramping
by placing a board, for the operator to
stand upon. When ready thresh, using
q bean thresher. Small lots are beaten
out with a fail, and cleaned by means
of hand tanning mill.
After threshing 1t pays to pick out
the broken beans, also the discolored
ones. Especially Is this true where the
crop Is raised for seed. This may be
accomplished by spreading out upon a
,white-covered table and removing the
trash and defective beans. A number
of machines have been invented for ex-
pediting this work, one Of which is
shown in Fig. 2. The beans to be
picked are placed in the hopper. A
force feed passes them regularly
through the hopper into the perforated
cylinder, where they are freed from
dust and trash. They then fall upon n
white canvas belt which is moving
slowly toward the operator. While on
this canyas, the dlscolored and broken
specimens are easily seen and removed.

Homestead Lands.

A correspondent writes us with refer
ence to where land can be secured by
homestead entry and the steps neces.
sary to be taken to secure the same.
Outside of Indian reservations or rail-
road lands which have been withheld
from the market, we know Of no good
agricultural land subject to homestead
entry In the, United States. Any citi-
zen who has not already entered land
is entitled to enter 1t when 1t can be
obtained. He must, of course, be of
age, must file on the land first, must
take possession, and conform to the
requirements, which can be ascertained
by writing to any Government land
office in any State. Desert lands can
he obtained, we believe, In half section
tracts by any citizen, whether male or
female, provided they conform with the
requirements of furnishing water in a
certain quantity and within a certain
time. We may as well recognize the
fact that the business Of demonstrating,
outside of the desert section and out
side of Indian reservations or railroad
lands have been kept from the market
Is about done.-Colman's Rural World.

Coming of Autumn n.

Autumn wandered through the WOODLAND
Touching with his wand each tree;
Summer stood reluctant, crying,
Bring my beauties back to me-"
But the maple leaves grew crimson,
Ripened fruit hung everywhere;
And the harvester spoke, smiling,
"Autump's charms are full as fair"
Summer, weeping, wrung her fingers,
Then cleaned forth the golden rod =
Asters by the laughing brooklet
Give new beauty to the sod;
Mother Nature viewed the picture,
Smiled as fell the first white FROST
Sweetly said. 'The summers beauty
Will return, for naught is lost"

more ornate is desired feminine tricks
of adornment must be reSorted to. Yet
in the next dress pictured these de-
vices are noticeable for their novelty
rather than for their quantity, and the
dress would surely count as simple
one. 1t was made princess from green
cheviot, the skirt portion remaining en-
tirely plain, and the bodice part fitting
as II It's wearer had been melted and
run into 1t. 1t closed at the left side
and was slashed in front and back and
on the sleeves, bands Of pale blue crepe
strewn with jet beads filling in the
openings. Similar crepe trimmed the
green silk collar, and four large silver
buttons showed In front. The sleeves
were finished at the wrists merely by
cutting them into two deep points. The
points reached away down to the
knuckles of the hand, the whole sleeve
making the arm seem longer than it
really was, an effect that was met in
the dress itself, which added to the
wearers apparent height. For these
two req sons 1t was a particularly good
model for those figures that unfeeling
critics characterize as dumpy.
Well suited to the new fall dress,
when something striking Is desired, is
one Of the new blanket weaves with
rich plaiding in great big squares that
blend into each other. They look like
a collection of the richest tint autumn

RemoyinR Unfruitful Trecs.

In every orchard there will be found
some trees which are an injury to the
farmer every year they remain In their
present position, producing nothing
themselves and lessening the product
of neighboring trees. All old orchards
need more fertility and also more room
for each tree to ripen and perfect Its
fruit. Removing trees that have for
years numbered the ground, taking
room that might be worth something
IL it were out, is often the best way to
restore orchards to productiveness.

pattern. Dark tan serge was the dress
goods, and the braid was of shade to
match. The bodice fronts were cut
into tabs and these were adorned with
buttons and edged with braid. The high
girdle-like belt came beneath the tabs,
and it and the vest were from Ochre
colored surah. The same silk gave the
collar with its puffs, and also furnished
ther toque, which was trimmed with =
long ostrich plume.
1t is difficult to believe just now that
this cut of skirt will soon become pop
ular, yet it is appearing in costumes
produced by the best designers. To
judge of the company 1t keeps. consider
this example of 1t: white velvet re-
cepton and dinner skirt, made good
deal according to the cut we have been
wearing. only it was so long that the
wearer's feet pushed against the hem
mt each step, and 1t swept away from
sides to back in folds that could hardly
be called a train, but that dragged
handsomely. This skirt was for wear
with a white satin brocade coat opening
over a vest that was covered thickly
with cut Jet. A magnificent cut jet Cir
die hung to the bottom of the skirt.
The whole gown was lined with black
satin. Black and white still hold, you
see. and the velvet skirt is at hand.

drawn from wells near barnyards, as
1t Is sure after a term Of years to be-
come contam' hated. In all such cases
a barn cistcrn with filter at the out

offers better security of pure water
than can be had from water taken from

prevent dust and dirt being washed in
to the cistern from roofs. After thresh-
ing especially, and in the fall when
leaves are flying, the cave trough
should be frequently cleaned so that as
little dirt as possible be washed into a
well. An average barn roof will In

Winter and Summer Prices of Eggs.
Always in the fall the price of eggs
goes up, partly because the supply de-
creases then, and also because with cool
weather those vino prepare eggs for
keeping In winter have more confidence
and begin to buy extensively. We have
often wished that no method had ever
been discovered for preserving eggs.
Then the winter price would be always
what it costs to produce eggs in win
ter. Both the egg producer and the
consumer would then be better salts
fed. 1t really discourages the use of
eggs to buy some and have them plain
ly a triie stale, not changed enough
as The dealer will tell you to hurt them.
The truth is that an egg not perfectly
fresh is an abomination. If only such
were sold in market there would be bet
ter prices all the year round. But in
such weather as we had in August an
egg will spoil from the natural heat Of
the atmosphere in two days, so that it
will not be fit to use. The refrigerator
must be used more in keeping eggs, not
to chill them, but to cool the tempera-
ture around them.
