BENEDICT, Neb.. Sept. 2s.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: l will give you a little more
light on the subject Of the Farmers Ele-
yator company at Benedict, Neb., and how
they are being held up by the officials OF
the B.. & NJ. railroad and the grain dealers
trust In Nebraska. In June, 1902, 125 of
the best farmers in the north part Of York
county organized an elevator company with
a capital stock of SIC, 900, to build and
operate a grain elevator in the village OF
Benedict. We have the cash in the bank.

us a location on any Of its sIdetracks and
refuses to lay a spur.

b. & M. or the grain association that sets
the price of grain in all the surrounding
towns each and every day? Why Is 1t the
same price at all the points? Are all of the
same mind at the same time? One dare not
overbid the other without permission from
the grain trust, but they will let us pillow

grain, allow us to stack and thresh Il, but

A RAX MEx

THERE is hardly a man or wo-
man in this land who has not a
mother, wife, sister or daughter
who is now suffering as Mrs. White
suffered. These silent sufferers are
martyrs to their modesty. Even
their nearest relatives know only half
of the story of woe they might tell.
What a great service you could rem
der your loved ones by securing them
a bottle Of Wine of Cardui, the med
icine which made such a happy
change in Mrs. Whites life. Can
you put the cost of a life of suffering
with hundreds of dollars in doctors
bills, against the small price of the
few bottles of Wine of Cardui which
cured Mrs. White so quiokly2
The fact that Mrs. White suf-
fered for long years shows that
when proper treatment isnot secured
the trouble grows worse. And this
letter shows that Wine Of Cardui is q
positive and permanent cure. Mrs.
Whites case was chronic. Nothing
helped her until she began taking
this wonderful Csrdui treatment.
