!" STOP TFIIEFl'

II is an old trick among the light.
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry OF
stop thief" and so putting the public
on false scent.
There is certain kind of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it's
"revolting" to write to a man in con-
sultation about disease. "Women
should write to woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of physician. But
q close examination shows that there is
no physcian's advice offered and the
whole clafnor of "write to a woman
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not
doctor, and therefore not competent TO
give medical advice:
For the advice of an unqualified
woman is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Women who are sick can obtain medi-
cal advice free by letter, by consulting DR..

eases DR.. Pierce takes the highest rank.
In over thirty years experience he has
treated half-a-million women and OF that
great number ninety eight per cent. have

Each letter is held as private and its con-
tents guarded as sacred confidence.

Let us take recent quotations of the
products A ton of sound cotton seed
will make about $50 pounds Of meal,
$50 pounds Of hulls, 25 pounds of dirt
and lintcrs, and 275 pounds of oil. AT
present prices the product Of one ton
of seed will be as follows :
750 pounds Of meal e. 3. ........$0 81
800 pounds Of hulls ....... .... = 80
70 pounds OF linters.. ........ 70
275 pounds Of oil (37 gallons) .....A 80
Total ........,$2 ,$2G 80
Now, Onc-third of that amount, or
$S.93, would be large compensation
for the oil mill, which would leave
$l7.S7 for the farmers ton OF seed.
That is equal to about q cents Il
bushcl.
The mill men will say that is too
much TO pay for seed. But consider
how il works When the farmer buys
in the shape of fertilizer he will pay
the manufacturer &l5.93 for the ammo
ma in one ton of seed. Besides ti.is
he will pay about 81 to SG for the pot
ash and phosphoric acid III ton.
When the farmer sells his seed to the
mill at $40 to Sli ton and buys from
the fertilizer manufacturer the plant
food in Il ton be Will pay at least so
| for il. No farmer can afford to trade
that way.
| What can he do about IT? In the
! first place, he is not obliged to sell his
seed. The oil III il does not in lure it
