STOMACH ON FIRE
ONLY A SKELETON OROUCHING BY
A STOVE.
Mrs. Dohcrty has sn Extraordinary TX.
pcricncc md Undcrsoes "a Marvellous
Change.

Mrs. e. Doherty, Of No. l15 Coates
street, Moberly, Mo, is today picture Of
robust health, and yet FIVE years ago, she
barely escaped death from progressive
emaciation. TO n reporter she told the
following story:
In 1896 / began to have distressing
attacks Of indigestion that continued for
two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned as if it was on fire. 1t
became finally so delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. MY inability
20 take food reduced my weight TO ninety
eight pounds, and faintncss and dizziness
sept mo i'll bed most of the time. was
ceally starving TO death and besides was
extremely nervous. Tho doctor was
perplexcd. He gave me tonics which
did me no good, and prescribed exercise
which l was too weak to attempt.
"Ono day when / was so faint and
skilled that could do nothing but crouch
Gown on the floor by tho fire, my father
brought me n box of DR.. Williams Pink
PILLS for Pale People. / found on trial
that they would stay on my stomach un-
like everything else. / really felt better
after three doses and l kept on using
them. Food began to taste we'll and to
stay down. The pain and tho burning
III the pit of my stomach lessened and at
last went away altogether. My weight
began to increase until il reached
i65 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that was wasting to
death before, were astonished at tho
change. Iresumed my houseworlS and
have hardly had occasion to call doctor
since. j havo recommended Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills to several friends, and
/ say to the pale, thin ones particularly,
II you want To set strong aud well take
DR.. .Wil!;ans'Pinl. Pills for Pale People" ;"
These pills cure stomach trouble by
their tonic action, building up the di-
gestive organs aud enabling them to do
the work that nature intended them TO
do. They are sold by all dealers. or will

Where orchards have been planted
too closely the only way to improve
conditions is to cut out every other
row and then thin the limbs OF the
trees where needed. An orchard so
treated will frequently produce more
and better fruit than it did before tho
cutting out OF half of the trees.

Fruit Shippers Association.

w. II. Owen, president OF co-opera-
tive fruit shippers association in
Ohio, in a talk to Ontario fruit men
SAD: Peach-shipping associations
nave been operated with more or less
success throughout the peach belt of
Michigan and Ohio, but in shipping in
carload lots, although complying with
rigid rules laid down by the associa
ton, there was an Objectionable feat
ure 10 the trade, and that was the
lack of uniformity of grades and pack.
ing. To be more explicit on this point
you have all probably visited some of
the various markets during the peach
season, and have noticed the very
great difference prevailing in grades of
different packs. That is, some pack
ers' b or Xxx grades were just as
good as some other packers A or XXX
grade. Therefore, the grade marks of
the general run of consigned fruit
where not put up by one set of hands,
as rule, are not of very great as
slstance to the purchaser, and he still
is Obliged to resort to his own judg
ment and eyesight in his selections
Now, for a shipper to make up q car
load OF this indiscriminate packing OF
fruit, where 1t Is packed by many
growers, each contributor having a
different way and idea of how peach
es should he packed and the kind of
packages used-conceding that they
are all honestly packed--how is the
simmer UninO n hill Eot f~l II
mate lot Of fruit, and can he warrant
the packing? This serious objection
or lack OF uniformity confronted the
Michigan fruit growers, and has re-
suited in the adoption of the central
packing house system by their prin.
cipal association. This system was
originated and established in the
peach industry at Catawba Island,
Ohio. in 1891, and it has resulted in
untold savings and benefits to the
peach grower wherever the system
has been adopted. The mere ship
ping association, where each grower
prepares his own fruit and delivers
1t to the association. by which it is
shipped with other packs and pack.
aScs, SltHcT III CdTlOdu or local snip
ments, is step in advance over the
old or Individual method of shipment; !;
but the central packing house system
is much greater step in advance
over the mere shipping association.
The old adage OF, I'm union there is
strength is most aptly exemplitied
through the many advantages that
may be attained through an organiza-
tion OF fruit growers. organized for
the purpose OF bettering their condi-
tions in shipping and marketing their
fruit. The many discouraginG prob.
lens that confront the grower in the
satisfactory marketing OF his product,
| believe, are satisfactorily solved
through the adoption Of the central
packing house system. At least, such
mas been my observation through the
management OF such a company for
the past twelve years.

War In the East.

The dispute between Russia and
Japan-cnlminated in open warfare
on Tuesday, when three naval en-
gagements were fought between the
fleets of the two nations, the jap
anese being victorious in each of
them.
Japan opened hostilities by at
lacking the Cars fleet in the road
stead of Port Arthur. Japanese
torpedo boats made a midnight at
tack and put two Russian battle
ships and one cruiser out of action,
and then retired. Later the jap
anese battleship squadron appeared
off Port Arthur and opened fire on
the forts and the Russian fleet, dis.
Fabling one battleship and two
cruisers. The Japanese fleet then
retired having apparently sustained
no damage. The Japanese have
two Russian cruisers bottled up in
the harbor of Chemulpo. Viceroy
Alexieff and Major. General Flung
sent messages to the Gar admitting
that three battleships and three
cruisers were badly damaged by the
Japanese torpedo boats and battle
ships off Port Arthur. A Rus
sian mail steamship from Shanghai
was captured by the Japanese in
the Yellow Sea.
The Russian Foreign Office in
giving it's views of the circum-
stances leading to the rupture with
Japan, declares that the latter
nation refused to agree to observe
the independence of Korea, and
broke off negotiations without
awaiting Russia's reply to the note
of January 10, which was at that
moment in the hands of Russia's
representative at Toxic for trans
mission to the Japanese Foreign
Office.
Japanese in New York have ar
ranged to raise $4,000, 900 war
fund.

There has been so great a demand
for gold certificates that the Trea-

sue of that form of money in ex-
change for gold bullion. This was
found necessary by reason of the
fact that, while the Treasury holds
a large amount in gold, compar-
