NASAL CATARRl! FOR YEARS.
SO-Called Catarrh Cures Failed to Cure
The True Way Is to Take the One
True Blood Purifier.

Catarrh is caused by impure blood. The
best physicians say so. The only way to cure
catarrh is to purify the blood. Hoods Sar-
saparila cures catarrh when all other medi-
cines fail, because Hoods Sarsaparilla is The
One True Blood Purifier. This is logical, and
that it is true is proved by thousands of testi-
monials like this:

The Fine-Tooth Comb in Crop Guilt.
ton


The contest is still on between the
cld-fashioned and the new-fashioned
cultivation Of coarse crops. The old
fashion says: "You can't make me be.
lieve that your new-fangled weeders
and smoothing harrows can tell the
difference between corn plant and a
weed" The new fashion retorts:
"Your dull hoe and soddy corn rows
drove the boys off the Farm" 1t is n
sort of. guerilla warfare upon the out
posts Of the two systems. The sober
seeker after truth would like to see the
real issues joined, for he is tender both
of his back and of his young plants.
Th impartial student of the question
will find that the new-fangled machine
does not distinguish between species
Of plants, but it does have a brutal re-
spect for strength. and will tear out
the hair-like tendril Of a ust-sprouted
weed but leave unharmed the deeper
rooted corn or potato plant. But it
will leave the weed if once we'll estab-
lished; therefore "early and often" is
Il bylaw of the process. On the other
hand. IL the smoothing harrow or
weeder can scrape along a piece of
sod. a flat stone, or an old corn stub,
it appears to enjoy the destruction of a
young corn plant equally with the
crow or clripmunk. A clean surface in
preparing for the crop is therefore an
other necessity OF successful use of
the new corn culture. With these
things in mind the new method can be
made great improvement on the old,
by any farmer.-E. c. Birge in Orange

Needles are valuable articles and
their scarcity has often caused consid-
cradle trouble; but their multiplicity
In chair is just now causing consid-
erably worry for NJ. J. Walsh, an East
st. Louis livery stable keeper. His
trouble comes through the conclusion
Of an Illinois jury that it is worth $500
for q person to sit down Gil the prick]y
point of one of these Industrial tools.
Walsh's livery stable has always
been favorite loafing place for the
idlers Of the city across the river.
There was one particular chair ut the
stable that Walsh was ''stuck on so
We're the lOafers. Whenever Walsh
got through with his work in the sta
BILE lie found genuine comfort in that
chair. But it was so tempting that
every passer-by could not resist the
temptation of taking squat in it.
This veXed Walsh and lie decided to
end the allurement of that chair
through the medium of needle, a
lever and a string.
He rigsed up his puncturing appar-
atus aud Joseph Ernst was the first to
feel the painful prick of a No. leather
needle. He sat down in the chair and
he rose again, making remarks unfit
for publication.
Ernst investigated and found the
needle in the chair and a pain in his
anatomy. Next he consulted n lawyer,
who filed a suit against Walsh for
damages-$5,0O worth.
When the case was heard at Belle
Vile it was quite evident that the jury,
collectively, individually and other
Wise, had had experiences with the

Ify gave Mr. Ernst 5000 damages.
But Ernst believes his anatomy and
his feelings were damaged more than
that amount, and he asks for new
trial, alleging that he would not re-
peat the experiment of sitting in a
''loaded" chair again for less than
$1,000.
Mr.. Walsh is likewise worried. If it
is worth 5000 to sit on needle, he is
wondering what it is worth to stub a
toe against pitchfork or to sit down
on currycOmb.
1t now rests upon the court to say
whether a tiny puncture in the human
! ana tony administered by n needle con-
| trolled by string in spirit of jocu-
larity is a 5000 joke or $1,000 reality.

Why the black man should be 80
black is question which, from early

fairly clinching answer. Modern sci

conflicting theories have been put for

certain varieties Of primitive man

to the sun-the moisture of the air
preventing them from being baked in

more tanned by slow degrees until
they orbed Mt last into the perfect
