THE country is SO flooded with pa

to be able to say have found one that

My Wife was very much run down

female weakness and was very weak,
nervous, and had no appetite. tried
her on everything ! could think of. but
she would not touch Il thng-could not

IN my fathers store one day. and aft"r
reading the printed matter on the bot

fore she had taken half of the bottle,
she commenced to cat, and nov she is
hungry all the time. We both agree
that ii beats any medicine to bring an
appetite and put the nerves in good
shape that we have ever had anything
to do with.
We had our family doctor to give
her medicine, but she did not improve
in the least. she has consumption in
her family and she was in such bad
shape and so run down that begun to
get very uneasy. but your medicine has

Endowment Rank, K. of P.

CHICAGO, July 3-knights of Pythias
are soon to be called upon to rally to
the financial rescue Of the endowment
rank, the insurance branch of the order.
A million dollars is what it is estimated
will be necessary to put the rank in as
good condition as it was two years ago,
before bad investments and a rapidly
increasing death rate combined to i'm
pair it's assets, and hugh contribution
to make up this amount may be called
for from all the knights, regardless of
whether they have enjoyed the benefits
of the insurance or not. The supreme
lodge of the order will meet in Chicago,
this week under a special call to con
slider solely the future of the endow-
ment rank. Besides providing for
funds it will consider plan to raise the
payments which members make by %
percent, SO as to conform to require
ments recently made by the laws of
seven States. Beyond this it will have
an even graver matter to consider, the
charges of criminal negligence and mis-
conduct, which have been made against
former officers of the order. The en-
doWment rank has almost 10000 men,
bers and nearly 1920, 600, 900 of insurance
outstanding. Despite all the troubles
the present officers see fair prospect
for the future. In the last three
months they have paid $494, 500 in death
benefits, but there are still unpaid 1915,
600 of death claims.

The estimate which makes the United
States yield of 1901 come close to the
100 O0O 000-bushel mark makes such a
big increase over all previous crops that
it will attract earnest attention through
out Europe, as well as this country,
These figures are based on computations
made by several independent authori-
ties, and may be presumed to be ap-
proximately correct: Some of the esti-
mates, indeed, place the crop considera
bly, above the 700, OOO,OOO line, but one
which would reach that figure would
far exceed the yield of any former year.
Americas largest wheat crop thus far
was that of 1898, which was 675, 900, 600
bushels. Then came heavy drop in
the yield, and that of 1900 was 522. OOO.-
600 bushels. The largest crop previous
to 1898 was harvested in 1891, which
was 612,OO0,OOO bushels. These two
years-1S91 and 1S9S-are the only times,
previous to 1901, in which the wheat
yield has passed the 100000, 900 mark.
In 1897 the yield was only 427,OOO, 600
bushels, while in 1898 it was down to
396, 900, 900. The average of the past
few years has been in the neighborhood
of 50O,OOO,OOO bushels Manifestly a
crop of 100000 bushels would be a
marvellous boon to the producer and
great benefit to the country in general.
A good market for every bushel of
wheat which the American farmer har
vests in 1901 is ready to his hand. AL
most all of Europe's wheat exporting
countries have short crops this year.
Some of the countries which have been
sellers OF wheat usually heretofore will
have to be buyers this year. The only
country apparently which can supply
any considerable part of Europe's short
age is the United States. OF course,
the average United States wheat crop
is much in excess of that of any other
nation, but this year it will be far in adj
vance of anything that is harvested in
any other country. An active demand
at fair prices will be had for the entire
American crop. Whatever can be spar
ed from home consumption will be ship
ped to Europe, and the total of Amer
ica's exports, which has been swelling
for several years, will be still further
expanded in the next twelve months.
These are Americas golden days.

A Dog Case Decided.

Among the decisions from the Law
Court last week was one relating to
York county's celebrated dog case.
Some time ago a dog belonging to
William A. McCullom of Saco visited
the premises of Melville H. Kelley.
treasurer of the Saco & Biddeford saw
ings institution, and got into mix-up
with his two dogs. The McCullom dog
was chewed so badly that he died.
McCullom sued Mr.. Kelley to recover
the value of the dog. The case started
in the Saco Municipal Court, went to
the Supreme Court and finally to the
full bench. The final decision is in Mr..
kelley's favor. The rescript in the case
says:
The plaintiff owned dog. The de-
PENDANT owned two dogs, male and
female. The plaintiffs dog went upon
the defendants premises and there en-
countered the defendants two dogs. A
dog fight ensued in which the plaintiffs
dog was killed. The case does not show
which dog commenced the fight. The
plaintiff sues the defendant to recover
the loss of his dog.
Held: That the action is not main
tainable. Judgment for the defendant.
