You exist because you breathe, but
are you the healthy man or woman you
should be? Is existence JOY to you?
II not, ask your physician why. lie

health comes from arrangement of the
liver or kidneys, and you will pay him
from one to three dollars a visit for

doing so he will use exactly the same
mdicines that Thompson's Barosml is
composed of. For the small sum Of 90
cents. one dollar size if you wish. you
may put yourself on the way to com
plete recovery. Thompson's Barosma
is simple. harmless, pure-simpie as all
things ultimately attained by science
are-diifcult to arrive at, but plain
enough when the principles are under
stood. Thompson's Barosma has been
tested by time and public opinion, and
Is lnfallibla. It is guaranteed. Would
YOU run an engine for ten years with
out cleaning it out? DO you think that
the human system differs much from

Is there any argument? 1t will cost you
80 cents or one dollar to start ON the
road to relief (there are two sizes OF
Thompson's Barosma. obtainable at
any druggist's). Is it wise to delay or
take chances? Practically every symp-
tom of illness may be traced to the

the human system. Thompson's Baros-

A Strange Barn.

Here is strictly truthful story
from Oklahoma OF the spontaneous
growth Of barn. A few years ago
a farmer built small barn and In its
construction used green willow posts
at the corners and along the sides.
After year he saw that where no
had laid the floor near the ground
It was three feet above the soil The
willow posts, instead of being dead
were alive-had taken root and were
growing. In their upward movement
they carried the barn along until it
was on stills nine feet high. He put
in a new floor and surrounded the
posts with siding. thereby making a
two-story affair, and II the thing
keeps on raising this year as 1t did
last he expects to add another story
or two in the same way. This is a
good hint to some of our rancnmen.-

OF birds now in existence probably
the one with the greatest eXpanse of
wing in proportion TO the body and
with the greatest power of flight is
the frigate or man-of-war bird. This
bird apparently flies more by skill
than by strength, for il has no great
carrying powers. The wandering al
