much iron, but spinach beats them
both. For that tired feeling eat
spinach.
Perhaps. when all the earth's supply
of iron has been dug up and put into
railroads and machinery. the Andrew
Carnegie of that far-off day will draw
his supplies from vast fields Of spinach
This most precious Of vegetables"
has heretofore been only side dish at
dinner. but in the future the real
hygienic family should make it the
principal dish. and bring up the child
rem on it. 1t is said to possess more
medicinal properties than almost any
other article of food. So convinced has
the medical profession become of the
value of the once despised spinach,
lit is already an active ingredient in
several new and salable tonics'
The iron in spinach is easily assimi-
lated and the vegetable is easily di-
gested. The fact that spinach has
such remarkable effect upon the
complexion will recommend it to the
girls. and its beneficial effects on the
liver will recommend it to the men.
For n next morning" nothing is so
good as a hearty breakfast of spinach.
In short, the virtues of the vegetable
are so numerous that it would take a
long time TO tell them, but if the
spinach habit grows to anything like
the proportions reached by the oat-
meal habit. Maine people and residents
of the State generally shall shortly
turn into strong, iron-built, fresh
complexioned. anti-bilious race.

A BAD RISK IN KENTUCKY.
Man Who Calls All Men Liars Not a Good
Insurance Risk.

The manager of a life insurance com.
pany had the floor in one of the state de-
partments, Friday.
Life insurance companies" he was
saying. "are as particular about the peo-
pie they already have on their lists as
they are about getting them on in the be-
ginning. They are rich, of course, but
they are no more anxious to take in a
man who will die of disease within the
first year or two than they are to take In
perfectly healthy man and have him
hazard his life by taking personal risks
in dangerous pursuits.
II remember funny instance that Oc-
Cured once while / was living in New
York One of our $4,000 men had a way
of calling a man a liar in the most care
less and indiscriminate manner. and with
only the merest or no provocation. One
day he was in our Office and casually
mentioned the fact that he was going TO
make trip to Kentucky
JYm-er-er, hesitated the manager,
before you start l wish you would stol
in and see me. / want to arrange abou:
your policy
What do you want to arrange abou;
it? Isn't it all right?
Eyes, as long as you stay in this
country. But if you go to Kentucky Wei
have to advance the rate until you come
back.
"'Weil, what in -, began the policy
holder holly. when the manager inter
rupted him.
Don't fly the track. my dear fellow.
he said gently. It's all right here, and
the rate is satisfactory to u.s. but, by
Jove. we can't alive you the same rate
and let you go to Kentucky and call mer
siars ike you DO in this section. MOI
much. We haven't got $4,000 policies tt
give away like that, and you onghtn't Il

HON. R. A. HIGGINS,
or Springfield, Ill. Has Much to Say Prais-
ing Morrow $ Kiti-ne-oids.

OF Springfield, Ill. Has Much to Say Prais-
ing Morrows Kiti-ne-oids.
1t will hardly be necessary to at
tempt to make the public familiar with
the name of Hon. X. A. Higgins, for
he is well known throughout the
| middle west already.
His integrity is unquestioned, and
| this is why we publish his statement
on the use and benefit Mrs. Higgins
derived from the use of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids. Mr.. Higgins resides at
617 South Fifth street, Springfield. H.,
and it can be easily seen that no such
statement would come from him were
it not so and he did not think Kid-ne-
oids wonderful preparation for kid
new disorders. Every one knows that
kidney diseases are the most stubborn
to treat. and that doctors have also
failed is a well known fact among
many. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids were
advertised in the usual way in SPRING
field, and backed up by local state
ments. 1t was undoubtedly this that
induced Mrs. Higgins to try them.
She went to one of the druggists and
procured Il box and followed the direc-
tions carefully. which. by the way, is
Just as necessary as it is when taking
doctors medicine. Although Morrow 5
Kid-ne-oids are wonderful medicine,
curing even where physicians fail to
effect 4 cure, the directions must be
followed to the letter. Some weeks
after she had taken them our special
agent visited Mr.. Higgins and he gave
the following for publication, feeling
so grateful for the benefits derived,
and remarking that so good remedy
should be known all over the world
MY wife had been suffering with dis
orders arising from her kidneys, which
was the result of cold settling in
them In addition she became very
nervous, which is one of the symp-
toms of the disease caused by its ag-
gravation. Her suffering was some
thing fearful. 1t was when she was
so very bad that we procured a box of
the kid-ne-oids. The directions were
closely followed and the result was
that she rapidly improved. At pres
ent she is perfectly well, no indica-
tons of the old ailment being expert
enced. We believe Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids 10 be all that is claimed for them,
and the best medicine of the kind
known" With such a statement
from actual conviction, and from a
man like Hon. r. A. Higgins, we
feel that no one can question for one
moment our claim that Morrow's Kid
ne-oids are the best kidney medicine
in the market and that it cures all
kinds of kidney disorders and urinary
difficulties. They may be had of any
first rate druggist in the land, or we
mail them on receipt of price. so cents.
or g boxes for $3.50. Please mention
