A CASE OF HEART FAILURE.

She was much frightened but noticed that
in intervals in which her stomach did not
annoy her, her heart S action became normal.
Reasoning correctly that her digestion was
alone at fault she procured the proper med
iclne to treat that trouble and with imme-
date good results. Her appetite came back,
the choking spells became less frequent and
finally ceased. Her weight, which had been
greatly reduced was restored and she now
weighs more than for years. Her blood soon
became pure and her cheeks rosy.
The case is OF general interest because the
disease is a very common one. That others
may know the means of cure we give the
name of the medicine used-Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills con.
tain all the elements necessary to give new
life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves.

We often hear it deplored that 80
many farmers boys and girls leave the
farm SO early, but it is all in their bring

Prettiest spot on earth. Come to find

three o'clock in the morning and work
until sunset. He was blessed with
parents who considered their children

for u Long Time.
The past five or SIN years have been a
period of shifting, experimenting and
trial with d large number of farmers.
Urged by low prices of staple products
they left the Old and ventGred into new
fields of live stock production, cropping
and methods of farming. These eN-
periments have not been satisfactory
TO the vast majority, for no sooner liz
they get into a new field than 1t was
Overrun with their competitors. But
the experience has been valuable. The
result is a general tendency TO return
TO the production of the staples in a
system of mixed farming as being the
most satisfactory ir the long run. Most
of the so-called 'specialties" which
were to do so much for the average
farmer have failed to enrich him. Most
of the new crops which were so loudly
praised in the beginning have been
found no improvement over the old. But
in methods of farming, which involved
cheaper production and a better prod
uct, there has been considerable adj
vance. For these reasons straight

as more promising than for a long time

ON THE WAITER.
Why His Customer Couldn't Eat the
SCUM,

Soup.
A certain literary German whose manner
Of speaking was extremely deliberate, and
who disapproved of impetuosity of any sort
and under any circumstances, had an anus
ing experience in a restaurant one day.
He was a well-known figure among the
patrons of this particular establishment, as
he seldom dined anywhere else, and he was
generally served by a waiter who had be-
come used to his way of speaking; but one
day a new waiter took his order and brought
his soup.
Il cannot eat this soup" said the gentle
man, slowly, not looking up from his plate.
The man seized the soup plate before the
customer could finish the sentence, and van
ished with it.
He reappeared in a moment with another
supply of the same soup, which he placed
before the gentleman, and then stood re-
garding him with an anxious face, wonder
ing what could be the reason for the soup
remaining untouched.
Il cannot eat this soup" again slowly re-
marked the literary man.
why not. sir? What is the NATTER"
stammered the unhappy waiter, who had
been told he was serving an important per.
son.

genius, calmly, for the third time, because

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
HOUSES FOR c
They eed Not BE as Warm as Those
Built for Hens.

Built for Hens.
Houses for ducks are simple affairs.
They are built plain and comfortable,
and have no furnishings whatever. A
duck is differently constituted from a
hen, and must be cared for under diff
ferent conditions. The hen needs warm
er houses and drier surroundings than
does the duck. A duck does not mind
the cold, if she can keep her feet warm;
cold feet will affect a duck as a frozen
comb does n hen, retarding laying and
inducing ailments. The feathers of a
duck are almost impenetrable and will
withstand almost any degree of cold.
Again, n duck cannot stand the moun
of confinement in a house that a hen
cam; she is more restless in disposition
and is given TO exercise in n greater
degree than is a hen. Indigestion is not
so prevalent with ducks as with chick
ems; the ducks ceaseless motion aids

THE HosTETTER co. WINS ANOTHER
CASE,
heterogeneous on Their Bitters Not
Tolerated by United States Court.

The United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York, Judge
Townsend presiding, handed down an ppm
ion December sd. 1897, granting injunction
and accounting, in the suit OF The HOstetter
Company against Isaac SOmmers n LOUIS
Joseph, for infringement of its Trade Mark.
The jurist states. in bold and clear language,
the rights accruing to the Hostetter Com
pany, and the liability incurred by all who
would rob them, by fraud or ~misrepresenta-
ton, of the well-earned reputation and
profits of a business built up by the efforts
OF half a century. The judge says, in part:
The complainant is entitled to protec-
ton against the appropriation of its trade
mark, by any and all unfair and dishOnor-
able means, and 4 court of equity has pow
err to grant such protection whenever it is
satisfied that an attempt has been made by
ingenious subterfuges, to invade the rights
of an owner of a trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individual
manufacturer, who strives to acquire and
retain the fruits of industry and hon
esty. and the field of keen rivals, seeking
to wrest from him the prize of the public
goodwill. the inventive ingenuity of the
infringer has conceived a great variety of
devices for evading the established rules Of
fair dealing. Courts of equity find
ing that their ultimate object and effect
were to enable and induce the retail seller of
a fraudulent imitation to palm 1t of OF an
unsuspectlng public for the genuine article,
and thus to contribute to the infringement
upon the rights of the original owner, have
not hesitated to apply the remedy
