The Seaboard Air Line Railway, of Ports
mouth, Va, is advertising a beautiful, but
comparatively little known, region on the
West Coast of Florida in three booklets
called The Land OF Manatee." They are
issued by the Seaboard, but can scarcely be
termed railroad advertisement, as the
only mention of the road is in a brief and
modest note printed on the inside of one
Of the cover pages. They are, in fact, a
description of Manatee County, Florida,
with some account OF its history and its
many interesting features which will APP
peal equally to the general reader, the in
weston, the fruit and vegetable grower, and
to the tourist Ss and sportsman. The author
experience. The beauty Of the Manatee
country is well described, and the marvel
GUS fertility of the soil and equally won
derful healthfulness of the climate are told
of in way to leave no doubt in the read
er's mind. Manatee county must be the
garden-spot of all Florida, and the won
der is that it has not sooner been settled
and the latent riches of its soil turned into
good American dollars. A most charming
feature of these booklets is their typo
graphical appearance. They are printed
on handmade paper, and are delightfully."-
illustrated with Photographic half-tone
plates and ornamented with decorative de-
really valuable brochures. Persons in
terested in Florida, and especially in the
possibilities of orange growing and truck
gardening below the frost line, will find
these booklets not only interesting, but full
OF valuable and practical information.
They may be had from representatives of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway, or upon
application to the General Passenger
Agent, Portsmouth, Va.

LIVE STOCK AT WORLDS FAIR.
Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars Set Apart o Prizes in
Live Stock Department.

Worlds Fair Grounds, ST. Louis
June Announcement is made OF
the sum set apart by the exposition
management for prizes in the live
stock department. The amount is
S250,000, or more than the aggregate
Of the appropriations made by all
previous international expositions for
live stock prizes. The Columbian eX-
position appropriated Sac, 500, which
was generally considered at the time
an enormous sum for such a purpose.
In addition to the $250,000 appropri.
ated by the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition, special prizes will be offered
by many live stock associations and
individuals.
The live stock department will have
80 acres of ground and about fifty
buildings. There will be SO barns
each to accommodate eighty to ninety
horses or cattle, and several Others
somewhat smaller; four octagonal
barns, 100000 feet, to accommodate
cows to be used in a dairy demonstra-
ton, with silos and feed barns; a
grand ampitheater and arena, 250x45C
feet, for an exhibit ring; and a build
ing for public sales of live stock and
for stockmen's conventions, in which
will also be made the exhibits and
demonstrations with relation to live
stock under the auspices of the Asso-
cation of American Agricultural Col.
,eges and Experiment Stations.
In addition to the classes of horses
generally shown, a number of others
will compete, including artillery, av'
airy, ambulance, fire department, eX.
press and ambulance horses.
The prizes offered for cattle, sheep
and swine will also have a wide range
One of the most interesting and in
structive features planned for the ex-
position will be a comparative test OF
breeds of cows with reference espe.
cially to their dairy qualities in both
butter and cheese production, and in
cidentally their gains in flesh.
Poultry, pet stock, dogs and the
minor animals and fowls are to be
recognized more fully than has ever
before been done, and Chief Coburn,
who has just returned from the food
region of Kansas, states that every
energy will be bent to have at st,
Louis in 1904 the most extensive and
instructive presentation of animal ex'
nibits in the history of the world.

the early part OF the year 1902 l had
been a sufferer from kidney troubles
for many years. The pain in my back
became worse and worse until it was a
daily burden that interfered with every
duty. 1 was much afflicted with head
aches and dizzy spells and was unable
to rest well nights. In May 1902 after
using Doan's Kidney Pills 1 made a
statement for publication declaring
that they had entirely relieved me of
the pain in my back. Ihave since then
had a years time in which to study the
effects of the medicine, and while /
have had slight touches of the trouble
since, the use of the pills has always
driven away all signs of the disorder
and / have become convinced of the
fact that the first treatment was prac-
tically permanent in its effects, and /
know that a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
kept on hand is a sufficient guarantee
against any suffering from the kidneys
or back. I should advise every sufferer
to take Doan's Kidney Pills, and know
that they will be surprised and pleased
with the result"
A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney
medicine which cured Mrs. Broderick
will be mailed on application to any
part of the United States. Address
