Mr.. William Levi, OF Jackson, Michigan,

enjoys good health, and is surprisingly
active for u man Of his years, but such was
not the case until very lately, for IL Is not
very long ago since Mr.. Levi could only get
about with the aid OF crutches. and then
very poorly. The following Is Mr.. Lewis
story In his own words:
ever since early manhood was great
sufferer from muscular rheumatism, and in
the endeavor to obtain relief have become
almost pauper For thirty years / did not
enjoy a sound nights rest, nor did have
anything taste good to me, and for sixty
years i could not walk without canes or
crutches. or course tried every physician
near me without any relief, and after one
bitter attack which lasted six weeks, every
body thinking my time had come, | was
advised to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and did so. While taking the
second box l was abe to throw away my
crutches, and by the time six boxes were
taken, l was able to do any kind of work,
that man OF my age could do. / now go
about with ONLY the assistance OF cane,
my sight Is good and hearing almost per-
feet, and all the credit OF the change is duo

PREPARING BROOM CORN.
Useful Hints Sent Out by IA Chicago Com
mission Firm.

mission Firm.
The following from commission
firm in Chicago gives growers Of broom
corn some useful hints in regard to
putting up their corn for market:
The corn should be well seeded and
at the same time the growers should
avoid scraping the fine tibers from the
tips. Let the corn thoroughly cure
before baling- and butt it down well
before laying in the press; this Will
make :.ice smooth ends and give the
bales nice appearance. Corn is fire.
quently received with the bale broken
in two when the corn is short. In or
der to avoid this, when laying the snort
corn in the press there should be layers
put in the center of the bales for bind
ers to hold The corn together and this
will make good solid bales. Care
should be taken not to put rubbish or
scrapings from the cylinder in the cen
ter of the bales, as this is worthless and
total loss To broom makers There
are always few who resort to this
ton of ali the western grow ers,.Me do.
do not see why the western farmers
should not realize as good prices for
their corn as the Illinois farmers, pro-
viding the brush is well handled and of
as good quality. The last few years the
quality of their corn has not been up
10 the standard. but we trust that this
year they will have n fine quality of
brush. which will bring the west to the
front again.

FASHIONS IN FuRs.
Garments and Trimming for Cold Weather
Costumes.

Garments and Trimming for Cold Weather
Costumes.
Exceedingly smart are the short fur
jackets for wear when winter sets in.
The fronts are loose, the back tight
fitting, with just little fullness in the
skirts, sleeves medium size, and turned
buck revers faced with the fur, and so
arranged that. the collar ut the back
can be pulled up as high as the ears IL
necessary. OF course short fancy jack
cts In the Elton and bolero style are to
be seen in far, but these ure more like
the trimming of the street gowns. They
are extremely becoming, for they have
broad pointed revers which turn back
TO show full vests and fronts of white
satin covered with lace ruiiies and ia
bots.
Revers of fur are much used in trim
ming handsome gowns, and a plated
piece of fur sewed into the shoulder
seam and hanging over the front Of .he
waist Is one of the newest fancies. Chin
chilla ON dark blue or green, beaver,
otter, and sable on all colors, are in
style: and the pieces of fur certainly
give n touch of smartness and oddity
that is very desirable. The band of fur
around the hem OF the gown is again
in favor even on evening gowns, while
on the latter il is also used to outline
the seams on either side Of the en-
broidcred front breadth; and around
the shoulders or across the front Of
the waist of low cut gowns it is COLI
sidered most effective. For this pur-
pose sable, mink, beaver are used in
preference to other furs. When these
fur bands are put on it is best to have
them an inch and half or two inches
wide. and then double them so that n
round edge shows, and they look par
ticularly we'll put just under fold Of
cloth or passementerie.
Moufflon, the fur that came into favor
last season, is to be greatly in fashion
this year 1t is of such an exquisite
shade of gray that it is more becoming
than chinchilla, although the latter is
much hnndsomcr. Capes. collars and
boas. with muffs TO match. are made of
this fur. but il is not yet used MS trim
ming. With n gray cloth costume with
touches of yellow. and a muff and cape
of Moufflon lined with yellow. most
artistic effect can be obtained. while
with the new green's reds and puppies
of this seasons colors it is extremely
smart.
Just AN edge Of fur showing around
the cloth coats. making them look as
though lined throughout, is again fash
ionabIe. ard some of the new evening
wraps. which are most regal in con-
strnction. have the edging of one kind
