FEAR.
HOW 1T MAY BE OVERCOME.

Fear is not always lack of courage.
One may be absolutely fearless when
facing real danger, but perfect coward
about trifilng matters. Many people
fear to be in a crowded hail. and fire.
quently, and unnecessarily, leave some
enjoyable affair and return home.
Thousands fear lightning to such an
alarming extent, that during a thunder
storm they become i'll. Fear of this
character is caused by nervousness
brought on chiefly by diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder.
A further proof that these organs are
diseased, is ascertained by depositing q
small quantity of urine in glass tum-
bier and if after standing twenty-four
hours you find it ropy or milky in ap-
pearance; if it has sediment; If your
back pains you, and you often have a
desire to urinate during the night, with
burning, scalding pains; it's the strong
est kind of evidence that your kid
neys and bladder are diseased and
the very strongest reason why you
should not delay in trying DIR. DAVID

of the kidneys and bladder, liver, rheu-

"Dog-Days' and
Cream Separator Fakirs

Every 'dog-day" of old time tin
can would be competitors of late years making
separator of which is said that its only good feature
is its sacriegiousy taken name-the "U. S., is seized
with advertising spasm of some kind and desire
to buy newspaper space for use in imaginary self
comparison of itself with the DE LAVAL, in which
fake it grows from week to week until the DE
LAVAL stoops to notice its fairy stories
First it called Experiment Station fake
"skim-milk records" then a false representation of
Paris Exposition award and still more false Of the
DE LAVAL machines not having received the Grand
Prize; then garbled report of the Buffalo Exposition
skim milk tests and much lying about the awards made
there And so it has gone for some years
Now the latest fit of rabies of which this disciple of
Ananias is the victim is brazeny advertising that his
machine can't skim cool milk because of quickly cloggng
up with it, while he pleads that it is wickedly cruel of
the DE LAVAL agents to remind buyers of separators
that there frequent occasions when this is both
venen and necessary and that the practical separator
must be capable of it. though only the DE LAVAL is
with good results.
Those who may read the advertisements of our
envous little teaser" should always keep these unda
mental facts in mind: The DE LAVAL machines
received the only Regular Award at Chicago the only
Grand Prize at Paris and the only Gold Medal at Buffalo,
They have done the best work and are held to be the
best separators every Experiment Station in Europe
and America. They are used by % per cent of the
experienced creamery of sepaators throughout the
word-and their sales ten times all other makes
combined while with SO per cent greater output every
year for twenty years there has been year yet in
which the DE LAVAL manufacturers could meet the
demands upon them.
This is a record of stone wall facts which any of
pgmy wouldbe competitors perfectly welcome to
stand up and themselves alongside or butt their
shortcomings into whenever they may be foolish enough
to attempt it.
If any reader may not understand why a DE LAVAL
SEPARATOR is much better than the best of its
mitators and followers better than gravity systems
DE LAVAL catalogue to be had for the asking will
make the reasons plain.
