WHAT AN AIRsHIP COSTS.
Shed is as Expensive as Ship Itself,
 Santos Dumont Says.

New York Tribune.
 M. Santos-Dumont. the Brazilian sue. eessor to the original Darius Green of Connecticut, says that airehips are ex- pensive affairs, and with him, at least. are growing more so with each ne" model. ,,

A Fascinating Vicar.

New York Tribune.
 The Rev. Henry Wilson. Vicar of St Augustine's, Stepney, London, and found- CT and director of the famous Red House, has further shown the strong dash of public splritedness in his many-sided na- ture by issuing, for paraochial distrtbu- ton. a four-page leafiet in favor of vac cination. It was he who. when working anong the hop -pickers In Kent. at the end of last summer. and foreseeing the outbreak of small pox. which has since befallen London. set up couple of tents, and, bringing in doctors and nurses. held yacination concerts. the result of which was that a large number of East-Enders of the poorest class courageously cast aside their characterization sentiment and barred their arms for the operation.

Six or eight miles northeast Of here, In
the large German settlement, If one
would offer some of those fellows $40
per acre they would laugh at him, be-
cause they know that their farms are
worth more. 1t is the Germans who are
picking UP all the farms they can get
at that price. A good farm with proper
cultivation the past three years has
cleared its owner from $40 10 $50 per
acre each year, while in hard time years
he is at least sure of Sc to SIS an acre.
This climate is based on selling grain.
Farms properly stocked VIII bring a
yearly income of more than this. Why,
then. are not these farms cheap at $40
per acre. | believe that they are. and
we will not have to wait long for them
to be worth 500 an acre, for they are
worth it today.
a this time. when money Is seeking
investment everywhere, what better in
terest or sure thing would you want
than the produce from an Iowa farm?
We are not speaking of those who own
farms and rent them. 1t is those who
live on their own farms and know how
to cultivate them who make them pay.
We have spoken only of the income
from an Iowa farm, to say nothing of
its rise in value. Farms that We're
bought three years ago of 100 acres
have brought their owners an additional
annual income of at least $1,000 in the
rise of value alone.
Minnesota is no doubt a good state.
and is making progress in agriculture,
but she's not in sight of Iowa yet, and
never will be in quality of soil and
amount of rainfall.

A new preparation for the cure OF

In the past few months and has met
with great favor from the meuica'
profession not only because II Is re-

secret patent medicine; anyone using
1t knows just what he is taking INTO

It is composed of blood root. whcih
acts on the blood and mucous mem

TO destroy catarrhal germs In the
blood.
All Of these antiseptic remedies are
combined in a form of pleasant
tasting tablet or lozenge, and are sold

In chronic catarrh cases have estab-
lished its merit beyond question.
DR.. Sebring states that he has dis
covered inhalers. sprays and washes
and depends entirely upon Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets in treating nasal ca
tarrh. He says: " l have had pa
tients who had lost the sense of smell
entirely, and whose hearing was $50
impaired from nasal catarrh, recover
completely after a few weeks use of
Etuart's Catarrh Tablets. l have been
equally successful with the remedy In
catarrh of the throat and catarrh of
the stomach. I can only explain 1t on
the principle that catarrh is consti-
tutional disease, and that the antisep-
tic properties in these tablets drives
the catarrhal poison completely out of
the system"
Dr. odell says. I have cured many
cases of eataarh of stomach in past
four months by the use of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets alone without the use of
any other remedy and without dieting.
The tablets are especially useful In
nasal catarrh and catarrh of the
