The great work she has done for the
Maccabees is appreciated by every
member of the order. She was so alb
sorbed in her work that she neglected
to give her health proper care-failed
to take warning that the symptoms of
approaching kidney trouble gave her,
the sallow complexion and torpid liver.
But Wine of Cardui cured her the same
as it has cured thousands of others and
Mrs. Mcdonald has written this letter in
order that other suffering women may
secure from Wine of Cardui the same
relief she got from it.
''For four years I suffered with torpid
liver until my skin looked yellow and dull.

for sick woman who wishes to enjoy per.
feet health and am very pleased to give my
hearty endorsement
No suffering woman can afford to
ignore such letter as Mrs. Mcdonald
writes. Her plans and advice have
proved valuable in building up one Of
the greatest women's organizations in
the United States and she takes time to
give advice which she knows will help
you.
Do not delay in securing this medi-
cine. There is nothing to gain and
everything to lose by delay. The choice
is before you. Will or will you not
secure relief now by taking Wine of
Cardui? All druggists sell 81 90 bottles

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
Mcbride & Will Say Hyomei Will Give
Relief-Sold Under Guarantee.

Mcbride G. Will Say Hyomei Will Give
Relief-Sold Under Guarantee.
The season for hay fever is almost
ut hand and many people feel that they
will be obliged to leave town in order
to avoid the sneezing, watery eyes ana
other annoying symptoms OF this dls-
agreeable summer disease
Mcbride & Will wish us to announce
that when Hyomei is used, either as
preventive or cure, there will be no hay
fever. They advise the use of Hyomei
daily for two or three weeks before the
usual time for the annual appearance
OF hay fever, In this way the attack
will be prevented. If, however the
preventive treatment was not started
soon enough and the disease comes on,
use Hyomei six or seven time daily and
also rub Hyomei Balm thoroughly into
the nostrils both morning and night.
This treatment will relieve at once and
give a speedy and permanent cure.
Hyomei actually brings into your
own home, climate filed with ozone
and healing .balsams. the same air that
one breathes at the White Mountains
or other health resorts.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. 1t is natures own
method for curing all diseases OF the
respiratory organs. and is breathed
thru neat pocket inhaler that ae-
companies every outfit, so that the
medicated air reaches the minutest AR
cells, killing all germs and soothing
and healing the irritated mucous mem
brane.
1t is the one treatment for hay fever
where Mcbride & VIII guarantee to re-
fund the money Il it does not give sat
isfaction. All who are subject to nay
fever should begin Its use at once so as
to prevent the disease.

That Curse Called Rumor.

Between the incendiary who fires his
neighbours barn In secret vengeance
and the worthy who starts a run on
q bank with malicious gossip, there Is
only a technical difference.
Gossip with a-purpose has too ortef
been used to stab character and to
wreck fortunes, and it is great pity
the law can not better reach
those who employ such intangible and
insidious methods to achieve their
ends.
Scarcely any enterprise. or individ-
ual, no matter how deserving, Is safe
from the subtle dangers of the gossip
monger, and human nature so loves a
morsel of such news" that it can be
relied upon to push along" q rumor
when once it has been judiciously
started.
A vivid illustration of the gross In
justice such a rumor can do is seen
in the Force" Food Company's ad-
yertisement of this date, wherein re-
ward of $4,000 is offered for the con-
yiction Of the parties who initiated the
suggestion that Force" was drugged.
A further offer Of $4,000 for evidence
that single package of the fifty mil
lion sold contained anything except
wheat, barley and table salt is, OF
course, complete refutation OF the
rumor. even If the state supervision
of foods was not in itself ample pro-
lection.
People who love fair play in business
as we'll as in other matters. will reac
with Indignation that it has cost The
| Force" Food Company over S50,0o0 te
publish q refutation of this "rumor'
in the newspapers OF the United states
and Canada, and. probably as mucf
more in loss Of sales resulting from the
baseless gossip which did the harm
The absurdity of the rumor Is ap'
parent when it is known that the pub
| lie has consumed fifty million pack
ages of Force" without single IN
stance of any i'll effect upon anyone O
the users.
The Force" Co. are evidently suf'
| fering the usual penalty for success.

the home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Hender-

The celebration was without any
fashionable display, but the simple
printed invitations, to old time asso-
ciates of the Meltvedts who were as
ISOLATED with them in Marshall county
as well as this county, gave to no one
an idea OF the unalloyed pleasure thai
was in store for those who were pres
ent to congratulate the pair who had
hand in hand, heart to heart passed
half century of harmonious weddec
life.
THE couple have been making theil
home with their daughter, Mrs. Hen
derson, and their children, all OF whom
reside near Paullina, put forth every
possible effort toward decorating the
grounds and interior of the home ir
an appropriate manner. Flowers, bunt-

whereby they formed what is known
as the East Liberty Threshing Ma

the first of their cooperative work
in the way of threshirg. Last season
a number Of the farnlars in that part
OF the county were compelled to let
their grain spoil in the field because
they We're unable to secure the ser
vices of a machine. The result was
that this year they decided to take no
chances, and have purchased COM
plete threshing outfit of their own,
Including engine, thrasher, tank wag'-
on, blower, weigher, etc., at cost o!
S2,700.
Work was begun this morning on the
II. T.. Bacon farm, where the oats were
looked after. The next work will be
on large rye field OH the A. II. Her
riott farm, three miles north of Glenn
ons, where it is expected the severes'
kind of test will be given the ma
chine. The rye is UP six feet or more
and If the machine will do the work
satisfactorily the owners will have nc
fear of the improper care of other
grains. Those who are in the new
company are c. NJ. Smith, r. r. Ridge
