Cure for Asthma.

Sufferers from Asthma Hay Fever
or Bronchitis will be interested to
learn that DR.. r. Schiffman's "Asth-
ma Cure" instantly relieves the most
violent attack, insures comfortable
sleep and has effected cures in thou
sands of cases that had previously
tried every other REMEDY in vain. No
waiting for results. Its action is i'm
mediate, direct and certain. So firm
is its confidence that the doctor re
quests this paper to announce that he
has sent to druggists in this town, as
we'll as to all other druggists in this
country, sample packages of his reme-
dy which will be given free to suffer
ers of above complaints, who apply
promptly, thus offering an opportun-
ity to such as have not yet tried the
remedy to make a personal test which
will convince the most skeptical. bue
Persons failing for any reason to re-
ceive sample package from their
druggist will receive one free by mail
by sending name and address (enclos-
ing cent stamp for postage) DR.. r.

ASK HER.

We wish that every man on the farm
who reads this would just ask his wife
what he could do to make the home
work easier and the home itself more
attractive. If this were done, whole
lot Of funny things would come to the
front. One woman would ask for
woodshed, another would want soft
water. another one place for the men
to leave their dirty barnyard clothing.
another cleaned up dooryard. another
better chicken house, another a more
convenient water supply, and not one
in ten of these women would want any
thing other than that which was sem
sible and practical and which almost
any man might furnish. The Egyptians
required their bondsmen to make bricks
without straw, and there is just lots
OF the same sort of business going on
in many farm home today.

THREE GOOD YEARS.

The farmers Of the country have had
three prosperous years. Aside from the
actual profits derived from farm prod
ucts raised and sold,. there has been a
very large increase in the value of the
land itself, equivalent to over $1,000
per year for three years for every man
who owned a hundred and sixty acre
farm. This increase of wealth has been
variously used. Much of it has gone
to clear off the old parasite mortgage;
much has gone into better houses and
farm buildings; some has gone to help
the boys and girls through college; a
large sum for more land; some to give
the boys a start; some into home Sc
curities and bank stock, and altogether
too much into wildcat schemes-min-
ing, oil and real estate fakes. The
present good times will continue an
other year at least-perhaps longer.
The wise man will improve his oppor-
tunity.

WON'T HURT THEM.

Where there are more women and
are men and boys it is all right for the
women to take hand in the lighter
forms Of the teamwork. We have seen
as nice and pretty girl as there could
be found in whole county, big sun
bonnet hiding her beauty, seated on a
sulky pillow, driving three big Perche-
ron horses and doing as nice Job of
blowing as any man could do. This is
lots better than for her to have laced
herself up tight as drum in spring
corset and be working blue yarn dog
barking at red moon ON canvas while
her mother was peeling potatoes In the
back kitchen for the family dinner.

CREATING WEALTH.

When a farmer from his eighty acre
farm produces and sells produce and
stock to the amount Of $1,000, the
world is the richer by that amount,
for he has created original wealth;
when the miner digs out and sells
$1,000 worth of ore he has done the
same thing; when the factory takes
the farmers corn or cotton or wheat
or the miners ore and by manipulate
ing it gives it an added value the same
wealth creating process is repeated,
but when man buys a horse or
farm or any other commodity and
sells it for more than he paid, while
he may have made money, the world is
none the richer, for he has created no
new wealth.

COST THEM 800 EACH.

A syndicate of well to do farmers
came to the conclusion that 1t would
be for their interest to invest in good
stock horse, so company was formed
with $4,000 capital, twenty-five men
taking a share Of 500 each. The
horse was purchased. heavy, hand
some, well groomed specimen. He was
sold at the end of the year for $40,
as he proved to be utterly worthless.
Twenty-Five men know more about the
ways and tricks of the willy horseman
than they did before, and by common
consent the subject is never to be re-
ferred to by any OF them at thrashing
bees and church sociables.

it more and more difficult for poor
man to secure a piece Of land for
farm. He is now almost barred out by
the high prices of land from all the
older settled portions of the country,
and If the advance in land values con-
tinues for another year there will be
very little cheap and desirable farm
land to be obtained anywhere In the
country. Men will have to be content
with fewer acres, which will involve
better methods and larger crops, which
I'm the long run will not be bad thing
either for the man or the country.

CHOLERA IN the PHILIPPINES.
Surgeon Generals Report Presents
Somewhat Alarming Situation.

Surgeon Generals Report Presents
Somewhat Alarming Situation.
WASHINGTON, June IA rather
alarming situation with regard to the
epidemic of cholera in the Philippines
is set out in a report received by Sur
geon General Forwood from Lieuten-
ant Colonel Heizeman, at present in
charge of the medical department of
the army in the islands.
The appearance of the disease at Ma
Mia in March is attributed in some
quarters to vegetables coming into the
islands from infected Chinese ports
and in others to the drinking of Pasis
river water, foul with the sewage OF
the city.
Lieutenant Colonel HeiZeman says
that the number of different points at
tackled by the epidemic and the conse-
quent infection Of many streams which
are universally used for drinking and
bathing and into which all foul mate
rial and garbage find their way makes
probable Il large number Of deaths be-
fore the rains, which ended two great
epidemics in the eighties, occur. The
army, he says, is much better protected
than the native population or than civ
ilan Americans i'll the Islands because
of the care which is exercised i'll sup
plying good food and water.
In Manila alone Il total Of 275 cases,
with 2l5 deaths, had occurred up to
the date Of the report, with 453 cases
and sos deaths outside the city.

a PHILADELPHIA BLAZE /
4 Dozen Passengers Injured-Loss
Estimated Mt Over $16O,OOO.

a Dozen Passengers Injured-Less
Estimated Mt Over $16O,OOO.
PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-Fire
has destroyed the novelty mandatory
of H. NJ. Rosenblatt & Co., four story
brick structure at Second and Oxford
streets, and resulted in severe injuries
to a dozen persons. The John Moffet
public school, opposite the leather
works, was damaged, three dwelling
houses adjoining the factory were de-
stroyed, and nine others were slightly
damaged.
The rapid spread of the flames gave
rise to rumors that number of the
employees had met death in the burn
ing factory, but these reports proved to
be erroneous. A member Of the firm of
Rosenblatt & Co. states that all of the
employees have been accounted for.
There were many sensational and
narrow escapes, most of the 400 men
and women employed in the factory
saving their lives by leaping from the
windows into nets held by tiremen.
The fire originated in a small annex
known as the celluloid room. 1t is be-.
lieved spark from crossed electric
wires fell into quantity Of celluloid.
The fire caused panic among the EN-
ployees, especially those on the upper
floors, and for a time the widest ex-
element prevailed. Firemen and po-
licemen, however, prevented the panic
stricken workers from leaping until
nets had been spread to receive them.
Mr.. Rosenblatt estimates his loss at
$4,000, partly covered by insurance,
and the loss on the other properties is
estimated at $4,000.
