THE TIRE QUESTION.
This Writer Is of the Opinion That
the Broad Kind Is Not Always
the More Desirable.

1have noticed many articles favoring
the use of broad tires on the farm as
well as on the road. Many of these ar
ticles, l fear, have been written by
people who use narrow tires and give
wide tires the preference, having never
tested both kinds carefully. l have
neighbor who has made fortune farm
ing, but who is opposed to the use of
broad tires. He says he has used both
for long time and has finally decided
that the narrow tires are the best, all
things considered. The broad tires are
all right for use on the farm, but when
the ground is so soft that the narrow
tires cannot be used it is not good prac-
tice to go on the fields with any kind
of wagon Then, too, when the ground

is so soft that the broad-tired wagoI
sinks into the ground to any consid'

that hauling is almost impossible.
On roadbeds which have a curved
surface, as shown in the accompanying
illustration, broad tires are disad

touches the edge of the road, and the
leverage produces greater friction "a

narrow tires. The wider the tire the
more friction, and the harder the load
pulls. This principle also applies tc
roads that are full of stones and upor

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

To Prove for Yourself the Wonderful nerits of This
Great Discovery Every Reader of This Paper
May Have Sample Bottle Sent
Absolutely Free by rlail.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form of it and nc"er suspectit.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. DIR. Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of
Swamp-Root, which has proven itself
most wonderful cure for all diseases of
the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure of all uric acid troubles.
If your water when allowed to remain
undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, forms a sediment or
settling, or has cloudy appearance, it
is evidence that your kidneys and blad
der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have sample bot
tie sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root,
