Secretary Fred w. Sherman of the Port
Huron Beet Sugar Co., has received a
report from the State analyst, Prof. X.
G. Kedzie, of the Agricultural College,
giving the result of an analysis Of sam
Piles of sugar beets grown in that section.
OF thirty samples which were submitted,
grown in different sections of the county,
an average percentage Of sugar of 11.Ol
was secured, and percentage of purity
Of S3.9. In several instances where the
data was kept, patches showed yield of
twenty-five to twenty-eight tons per acre.

Disordered Liver
and lNFLAMMATORy RHEUMATISM I'm A
YOUNG boy.
EF. and Mrs. Rowss Despaired Of Their Boys Lfs-Ht
was Compelled to Give Up His Studies.
From he Leader, Cleveland, Ohio.

Few boys Withstand an illness offs serious
q nature as that with which Fred l.. Howse
was q year ago afflicted. Fred is now fifteen
years Of age, and attends the public schools
His home is No. 80 Plymouth Place, Cleve-
land, Ohio, and he is now picture Of puerile
health and vigor. In the fall of 1895, however
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Howse
the former O well.known business man,
whose office is in the Arcade had almost de-
SPARED of saving his life. The lad became
afflicted with inhammatory rheumatism
which affected his entire body, and accom-.
panying that painful ailment were several
other very serious disorders. When she was
requested to describe her sons sickness and
his recovery, Mrs. Howse soid
at was in September, 1895, that Fred
who was up to that time in delicate health,
was attacked by infammatory rheumatism,
1t was very acute case for he was confined
to his bed, and was unable TO move even his
arms or legs without bringing on excruciat-
"Aside from the rheumatism Fred's liver
was in serious disorder, and he used to vomit
frequently. He was also subject to fainting
spells, and altogether he had very serious
sickness.
ave knew, Of course, that though the
rheumatism was exceedingly painful, it was
not necessarily dangerous the fsnting spells
and vomiting however alarmed us. Often
when Fred tainted he would lay like one
dead. His face would become ashen pale

and it was difficult at such times TO detect
his heart beats. These spells caused Mr..
Howse and myself much uneasiness about
our boys condition. We called in a doctor
and he prescribed for Fred, but the lad did
not seem TO improve, so | purchased box
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
in one of the down town stores. Then tor
four months steadily Fred took them instead
of the medicine prescribed by the doctor
and at the end of that .period-it was about
New Years then-Fred was sufficiently ini-
proved to be able TO go out.
"The improvement was slow at first, but
it was sure. | had unbounded faith in the
pills as is evidenced by our continued use of
them. 1t was necessary for us to take Fred
out of school on account of his illness, but
now he has returned and can join in all the
sports with his schoolmates, and his health
is as good as we could wish. He has never
been i'll since, and it is pretty safe to predict
that he will not be sick again for some time.
"Yes, | have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to my friends" said Mrs. Howsc
in reply to question, land many Of them
have used them since. l first read of the
| pills in the newspapers"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
contain all the elements necessary to give new
| life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They may be had of al

MARKETS AND STOCKS.
Wall Street ReYiew.

New York, April 6-Interest in selling
of stocks was very languid on the Stock
exchange today and the market was ap-
parently afflicted with an attack of spring
fever Many of the stocks which are
usually dealt in had not single sale
recorded to their credit and others
showed only a few odd lots with not a
single full share lot to make a quotation.
Fluctuations in the main were very mar
row, not offering a sufficient margin to
invite operations even by the profess
sional traders. The dullness seemed to
be reflected in part from other coun-
tries, London showing nothing doings in
Americans, the stagnation being so
marked that London agents of some of
the houses in the street ceased cabling.
Chicago was taken up with her municipal
election and Boston and Philadelphia
were also very qu.at. Such dealings as
occurred were subject to entirely fic-
titious influences and were concentrated
in few stocks. The absence of the
heavy liquidation that has characterized
some recent markets was, however
marked and the railway list held remark
ably firm.
