"NERVE WASTE"

One of the most elpful books on nerve
weakness ever issued is that entitled
"Nerve Waste" by DIR. Sawyer OF San
Francisco, now in it's fifth thousand.
This work OF an experienced and reput-
able physician is in agreeable contrast
to the vast sum OF false teaching which
prevails on this interesting subject. 1t
abounds in carefully considered and
practical advice, and has the two great
merits OF wiedom and sincerity.
1t is indorsed both by the religious
and secular press. The Chicago Ad-
vance says: "A perusal of the book and
the application OF it's principles will put
health. hope and heart into thousands
of lives that are now suffering through
nervous impairment"

Goods Times Tor Farmers.

The failure of any crop is to be
regretted, but no year comes when
the maximum Is reached in all crops.
A partial failure has occurred in the
yield of corn Many farmers will
be inconvenienced, yet few will be
distressed. The lowest estimate of
the crop is 1,l0O,O00,O00 bushels.
At 80 cents its value would be $3.50,
100000. The corn crop of 1895
sold for 100000, and that of
1900 for $529,OOO.OOO, SO that this
years crop is still prospectively
ahead in cash value. The wheat
crop OF 1895 sold for $237,OOO,OOO
while that of the present year is esti
mated at s49O,OOO,OOO. A CORES
ponding gain is noted in cotton and
tobacco. Between 1895 and 1900,
the value of tho live stock in the
country increased $633, 900, ,OO0
The crop and live stock of the pres
ent year are worth $1,000,0OO,OOO
more than those Of 1895.
Meantime, farmers have been pay
ing off mortgages, and their bank
deposits are at the highest mark.
The era in general is one of prosper
ity on the farms. II it be urged
that general prosperity is not
remedy for individual cases of ruin
through crop failure, the reply is
that prosperity is the best basis for
starting again, and also induces a
helpful and considerste spirit in
dealing with special cases of una
voidable loss among the industrious
who till the soil. 1t ought to be the
rule in such instances to be gener
GUS and to give every possible
chance to overcome temporary re-
verse. There are some farmers who
have seen their whole seasons labor
wilt away under burning sun. The
prosperous should treat them kindly
and liberally. Their condition is
happily exceptional.-Globe. Demo

itself unequivocally upon the side OF
protection to the new industry, it is
the more interesting because OF the
political Significance Of the position
thus taken.
When 80 able and influential q
journal as the News, the personal
organ of Colorado's democratic SEN
ator, and the acknowledged mouth
piece Of western democracy declares
for protection to the sugar beet in
dustry, it reverses all previous con
tentions bearing upon tariff for rev.
enue only, and places that paper on
record as q supporter Of the theory
of protection.
Nor is it change Of front to be
condemned by any except those,
who though events demand new con
ceptions of public duty, still adhere
to ancient and obsolete theories.
The material interests Of the irri-
gated West are to be greatly ad-
vanced by the expansion of the
sugar beet industry.
By encouraging and protecting it,
the desert will be made fruitful and
waste lands thickly peopled.
No other product Of the soil is so
we'll adapted to Colorado and SINH
lar sections, and to the sugar beet
we all look with confidence for re
storation of the prosperity which for
years has been q memory.
What other course could even q
democratic newspaper or politician
take? And the same reasons, the
same logic of events will bring to
the support of the beet sugar indus
try the political influences Of mem
bers of congress from Louisiana,
Texas, Mississippi, and every north
ern and western state growing the
sugar beet.
Political associations and previous
oppositions will melt like ice in q
midsummer sun, when the vital inte.
rests of the people are at stake, and
those interests are plainly to be sub
served by united action. These
premises lead to the conclusion that
whatever the efforts of the sugar re-
finer's trust may be, whatever the
lobby of Cuban sugar planters may
attempt, whatever the venality of
trust made congressman may set on
foot, there will be no reduction of
the present sugar tariff in this de-
cade. Will New York, Michigan,
Kansas and other states pay boun'
ties to aid sugar beet growers, and
then vote to reduce the Federal tar
iff which is the effectual barrier to
the flood of tropical sugar? Will
this country voluntarily open its
doors to the 1850 European beet

promising of all the undeveloped

Second. Finding unparalleled

Blue, about fifteen miles north
of Jennings, we purchased Bayou
Blue Springs, covering hill of
about five arcres on Bayou Blue.
We also have forty acres three

PROSPECTUS.

In rendering this, our prospec-
tus, we wish to avoid fowery,
deceptive language, and :, to set
forth in detail few simple, plain
facts, briefly stating what we
have done, where we have opera
ted and what we propose to do.
The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min
eral Co. Ltd, domiciled at Jen-
nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is a
duly organized and chartered
company, capitalized at 5000, 900.
Captain D. b. Sweet, president
of the Jennings Banking & Trust
Co., a man of questionable in
tegrity and pronounced bust
ness success, is president of this
company.
From the organization of this
Company it has been the purpose
to select small plots of really oil
lands throughout the oil belt Of
Calcasieu parish, ignoring in a
measure large bodies of indiffer-
ent lands without promise, upon
which leases could be procured
at nominal figures. Following
up this idea they have purchased,
First.-Twenty acres near the
blackberry we'll that is full of
promise, the we'll being down
near 1000 feet, with every indi-
cation of success. The stock of
this we'll is now at par value.
A peculiar feature character
ling this well, which lies thirteen
miles southeast of Sulphur Mines
is, that before the day when sui
phur was extracted by heat a
spring at blackberry flowed very
cold water, which today is almost
as hot as hot coffee. We also
purchased five acres near the
Vinton wells which have struck
several stratas Of oil, published
to the world.
