she says to DIR. Hartmann:
ave have used your Pe-ru-Ea with
the most remarkable results and would

recommended it to our friends. A few
years ago purchased bottle of your
Pe-ru-na and after seeing its results,
recommended it to my grocer who was
troubled with dyspepsia, the curing of

store. She has sold large amol nts of
it. My daughter has just beer cured

The law of this state provides that the
owner or occupier of any orchard, nur-
sery or vineyard, or OF land where fruit
trees or vines are grown shall spray all
such trees or vines as may be infested
with injurious insects, worms or conta-
gious diseases with a poisonous solution
or disinfectant of sufficient strength to
destroy such injurious insects, worms or
contagious disease, provided that no such
spraying shall be done when such trees
or vines are in blossom, except in case of
canker worm.
The yellows commissioners in each
township, or il there are no such com
missioners, special commissioners to be
appointed by the township board, are
charged with the duty of enforcing this
law, and they are required to notify fruit
growers TO spray their infected trees and
vines, and if such notice is not complied
with, then the commissioners are re-
quired, themselves, to cause such spray
ing to be done, the expense to be a charge
against the township, to be recovered by
the township against the owner of the
trees or vines so sprayed.
In addition to this, any owner of in
fected trees or vines, and any commits
sioner who neglects or refuses to comply
with the provisions of this law, is to be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and,
on conviction, shall be punished by fine
of not more than fifty dollars, or impris-
onment not to exceed sixty days, or both
And yet, Notwithstanding the provis-
ions of this wholesome statute, there are
numerous apple orchards in Van Buren,
county, some of them within sight of
this village, that look as though fire had
run through them, having been stripped
by canker worms of every vestige of
green, and the owners pay not the slight
est attention to them. OF course such
orchards bear no fruit and are of no
value to anybody; they simply serve as
breeding places for the destructive
vermin. If the owners do not care
enough for them to comply with the law,
they ought at least to remove them SO
that they would not be a menace TO
their neighbors.
lt might be pertinent TO inquire why
the commissioners are not looking after
this matter as the law requires them to
do.

The New Cure for Kidney Bladder and Uric
Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
Root, the great kidney remedy.
1t is the great medical triumph of
the nineteenth century; discovered
after years of scientific research by the
eminent kidney and bladder specialist,
DIR. Kilmer, and has truly wonderful
powers i'll curing kidney, liver, bladder
and uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble is responsible for
more sickness and sudden deaths than
any other disease, and is so deceptive
that thousands have it without know
ing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-Root and thousands
more who to-day think themselves be-
yond help, can be made well by the
use of this great remedy.
Swamp-RoOt has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in pri-
vate practice, among the helpless too
poor to purchase relief, and has proved
so successful in every case that q spec
ial arrangement has been made by
which all readers of the TIMES, who
have not already it, may have sam
pie bottle sent absolutely free by mail.
Also book telling more about Swamp
Root and containing thousands of tes-
timonial letters received from men and
women who owe their very lives, to the
wonderful curative properties OF
Swamp Root. Be sure and mention

THE FRENCH MENACE.
Complaint That 1t Is Not the Model
Affair Claimed For 1t.

Complaint That 1t Is Not the Model
Affair Claimed For 1t.
An English writer who has evidently
suffered inveighs rather severely against
the long extolled thrift of the French
housekeeper, which, if it be thrift, is,
according to his notion, pernicious
economy. He considers the meageI
messes served and reserved until the
last scrap is consumed which make up
the course dinner of the French people
most unsatisfactory and far from ap-
petizing. "It has been said " he quotes,
"that a French housekeeper will serve a
grilled chicken foot, making it a sub
stantial course" This he denies-not
the service, but the substantial part
of it.
AS to the soup of the provincial
French home, he asserts it is not a
thing to be described by the uninitiated,
and it is certainly not meant for a deli
cate palate. 1t tastes like hot water in
which quantities of cabbage have been
boiled. "Then, he goes ON to affirm,
"the only dish of meat will often con-
sist of that which has been used in the
making of the soup
This testimony is borne out by Amer
ican travellers, who get very tired of
soup meat as a dinner dish. For the
Aavoring and finishing of a dish the
French are doubtless unsurpassed, but
the allegation that the sauce is made
more important than the substantial
and that the garnishing takes prece-
dence over the dish it surrounds is not
without considerable foundation. The
well known story of the French cook
who won wager by serving a boot
heel scraped and stewed and simmered
and finally served with an enhancing
sauce is a good illustration of much
| French cooking

Census Taking In China.

In china census methods are simple.
They don't have much trouble to take
a census there. When the time for max
ing a count of the families and their
individual members comes around, the
head of each house is compelled by law
to write on a slip of paper the number
of individuals living with him and the
name of each person. The authorities
lay particular stress upon correct spell
ing, and there is a severe penalty at
tached to any Misrepresentation either
as to the number of persons or their
names. This obviates in the beginning
the wrestling with unpronounceable
names, which helps to make life inter
esting for the American census taker,
and reduces the enumeration of the
population of Chinese city to a very
simple process.

MUST BE A SILVER MAYOR OF Will
MINGToN. - The Silver Democrats
served notice on the Gold Democrats
that Jesse X. Baylis could not be nom
mated for Mayor ON the Democratic
ticket. This move has been expected
and it means that the Democratic NOM
inee for mayor will have to be silver
man. The attitude of the silver Dem
ocrats will make the election of Gold
Democrat as mayoralty nominee i'm
possible. A prominent silver man
said that ''Baylis and all other men
who supported the Palmer and Buckner
ticket are dead Ones" This antago-
nism of the Bryan Democrats to Bay
lis will make it easier for Patrick
Neary to carry the primaries for his
man than otherwise would have been.
