SWEET PEAS KILL FLIES
Druggist Says the Flower Attracts and
 Then Poisons Them

local druggist has found new agent for the destruction Of flies that for activity and effectiveness discounts anything heretofore offered for that purpose. And not only is it harmless. but it is a thing if beauty as well. After selling annually thousands of sheets of fly paper of the sticky and poisoned varieties and a ton more or less of insect powder. the new antidOta for the pest bids fair to supersede all previous methods with him and those of his friends who are in on the se- cret.
 For several days the druggist, who is a lover of flowers, has had upon his front eases punches of sweet peas of d variety grown originally in California and but recently cultivated in this section of the country. Ea-h morning after opening up the store he has found collected around the bast of the ves- sel containing the peas quite an ac- cumuiation of dead flies.
 For the first day or so he regarded the mass of defunct dipterous insects as an accidental gathering in the neigh borhoOd of the flowers, but curiosity prompted him to later watch the con duct of the few flies left in the store. IL was observed when the peas were freshly picked that immediately after their being placed in the vases those flies in the vicinity swarmed upon the petals and proceeded 10 fasten them selves there. Shortly afterward they fell from their positions dead.
 IL is presumed that the odor of the peas attracted them first and that afterward they absorbed some poison ous exhudation that the flowers possess and died in consequence. So far as known the peas posses no toxic effec Upon the human hcing.-Springfel Journal.

WOMEN EASIER TO AWAKEN

One third of their stock is now on ex- hibition at the fair.
 The German Coach, says MT Keen, is the best all round horse in the world for general breeding purposes. His build makes him not only a good driv- CT but he is sufficiently heavy for gen. eral work, and particular reason for the use of these stalliols by horsemen generally is the fact that they havh been bred for over 300 years from single strain of blood and have there fore attained an individuality that is nearly always reproduced in their off, spring, regardless of the blood of the mares or whether they have any pedi- gree at all to be proud of.
 This particular horse now on eXhibi tion, was bred by w. Strangmann of Germany, being foaled April 8, 1901 At two years of age he took first prize for two year olds in Oldenburg, Ger many, and in proof of which there is on his neck the German brand, tes- tifying to the fact. He was imported by Crouch x Son and on April 22 of this year he was registered under the name of Hitler, No. 2449, in the Ger man Coach horse stud book MT. Keen has on exhibition also the certificates of his registration, both in this cOun- try and in Germany. Hitler weighs l400 pounds and is sixteen hands, one inch, high. He has fine feet excellent for all kinds of work and is entirely without blemish. He is a fine horse to look at and MT. Keen takes pleasure in showing him to anyone interested.

Fine German Coach Stallion on Ex-
 hibition at Club Stables.

Marion Keen came here about a week ago with a fine German coach stal- lion which has since been on exhibition at the Club stable, and may still be seen there by anyone interested. The horse belongs to the La Fayette, Ind, stock farm owned by J. Crouch & Son, of Lafayette, Ind, the company also having a branch stable in Seda- lia, Missouri. MT. Keen is a salesman for the firm and his purpose is 10 sell this horse, and as many more of the same kind as he can, to the oIsemen of this section, for breeding purposes.
 The firm is among the largest and most notable importers in the country
 dealing only in stallions and confining itself also to imported horses. of the German Coach, PeCCheron and Belgian breeds. Last year they imported about eco head and now have in their tables and at the worlds fair about 300 head.

The Worlds Greatest Skin Humour. Affects Every Age and
 Condition. The Only Sure Cure is
 CutiCura.

/ If there were not another external skin disease known, eczema would be . sufficient infiction on mankind. It per vades all classes, and descends impar- tially through generations. While some are constantly enveloped in 1t, others have 1t confined to small patches in the ears, on the scalp, on the breast, on the palms of the hands, on the limbs, etc, but everywhere Its distinctive feature is small watery blister, which discharges en acrid fluid, causing heat, inhamma- tion, and intense itching, scaling and crusting. s
 The Cuticura treatment Is at once agreeable, speedy, economical and com prehensive- Bathe the affected parts freely wi, hot water and Cuticura Soap, to c. eanso the surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, or Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. This treatment af- fords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning and scaly humours, and points to speedy, per manent and economical cure of tor turing, disfiguring humours, eczemas, rashes and inflammations, from infancy to age. when all other remedies and the best physicians fail.

Miss Nellie Holmes, treasurera of the Young WOman's Temper ance Association of Buffalo, N.Y., strongly advises all suffering women to rely, as she did, up. on Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege. table Compound.
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :- Your med icine is indeed an ideal woman's medi- cine, and by far the Best 1 know to restore lost health and strength. l suffered misery for several years, being troubled with menorrhagia. My back ached, had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. 1 would often wake from restful sleep, and in such pain that l suffered for hours before l could go to sleep again. dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days. consulted two different physicians, hoping to get relief but, finding that their medicine did not seem to cure me. tried your Vegetable Compound on the recommendation of a friend from the East who was visiting me.
 II am glad that followed her ad- vice, for every ache and pain is gone, and not only this, but my general health is much improved. I have a fine appetite and have gained in flesh. My earnest advice to suffering women is to put aside all other medicines and to take Lydia F..
