she tried to test his esthetic powers.
In her desire to rouse him to per

to Niagara Falls. The train brought
them into sudden and magnificent view
of the great wonder. She watched him
closely as the moment for the test

PoDuIar in Iowa.

Grand View, Iowa, Dec. 29.-The
most complete satisfaction is expressed
in this district over results obtained
recently by using Dodd's Kidney Pills
for those complaints resulting from dis
eased Kidneys. This satisfaction finds
frequent expression in words. People
who have been cured seem to take
pleasure in telling Of it. Take what
Mrs. Lydia Parker says for example:
81 was troubled with Backache," says
Mrs. Parker, and all the time when
| was stopping over a stitch would take
me in the back and could not straight
ell up for a while.
81 sent and got a couple of boxes Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and before | mad
finished taking the first, the stitch had
gone and it has not been back since"

experiences with Dodd's Kidney Pills,

In letter dated January /, 1900, Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years expe-
rience with Peruna:
al viii ever continue to speak a good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as
travelling man am a walking adVer-
Hgemenf for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year TO
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. am still cured of cafarrh. "
John o. Atkinson,
Box 272, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so Indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peruna.

Most and Least Profitable Crops.


Out Of 111 correspondents of the
Board Of Agriculture sixty.two called
potatoes the most profitable, and TWEEN.
ty-scven called them the least profit
able; eight called corn the most profit
able and sixty-four thought it the least
profitable; forty-one consider hay the
most profitable; thirty-two apples; ten
oats; seven tobacco seven cranber
rics; six cabbages; six sweet corn; si1
strawberries; four each favored on
ions, tomatoes, beans and fruit; three
each peaches and pears, two market
garden crops and two asparagus; one
each for rutabagas, forage crops, Gel
cry, milk, plums and root crops; nine
thought hay the least profitable; seven
tomatoes; six apples; four each said
squashes, cabbages and sweet corn
three each milk, cranberries and beans
two each said onions, pears and GU.
Cumbers, and one each asparagus,
grapes. caulflowers, beets, melons,
peas small fruit and market garden
crops; siXty-two considered the season
w nave bceh plohtdplc' eieNch as
above the average for profit sixteen
as an average for profit; eighteen fair
ly profitable, and thirty-seven thought
it had been an Improbable one. Thus
it will be seen that much depends
upon the location, and more perhaps
upon the individual as to the profit on
crops. In nearly every country corn
and potatoes were less than an aver
age crop, but the loss on amount in
potatoes was largely made up by the
high prices.-Massachus Plough.
