Every woman should read, without
fail, the following paragraph. She
will learn something about herself she
never knew before.
Thompson's Barosma is not only a
wonderful. kidney, liver and bladder
cure, but has particular advantage
as remedy for Chronic Female Weak
ness, Palpita,ion of the Heart, bearing
down sensations, Nervous Debility,
Leucorrhoea or Whites, and Dropsical
Swellings. It's peculiar advantage lies
In the fact that it is both female reg
ulator and kidney, liver and bladder
cure. The womb Is situated back of
and very close to the bladder. A wo-
man having any pain or distress in the
back or side at once attributes it to fe.
male weakness when many times her
trouble is entirely from the kidneys or
bladder. Hence woman making this
grave mistake will find sure remedy
In Thompson's Barosma, for whether
she is suffering from womb disorder or
any disease of the kidneys, liver and
bladder, Barosma will effect a perma-
nent sure. For this two-fold reason
Thompson's Barosma Is the best wo-
mans remedy on the market. Thomp-
sons Dandelion and Mandrake Pills
should be used with the Barosma, for
the liver and constipation. They are
purely vegetable and do not grippe.

Our shipments OF ginseng, are
nearly all made to China.
Consul Miller says the demand
will continue, as the Chinese are
firm believers in the therapeutic
properties of the root. Ginseng
is the most important and most
valuable of all the medicinal
plants grown in Manchurla.
1t is impossible to state, even
approximately, the value OF GIN
seng in these countries Of the Far
East, for the real wild root has
been known to realize thousand
times it's own weight in silver,
while ordinary cultivated ginseng
may be purchased in these mar
kets for about $1.70 per cases OF
ia pounds. The clarified ginseng
which we export to China is made
from the root of a species Of gin
seng which grows in the Appala-
CHA mountains. Korean ginseng
fetches higher prices than ours
because it is supposed to have
greater medicinal virtue, and is OF
uniform quality and older age:
1t is next to the wild ginseng OF
Manchuria in price. The climate
in Manchuria and Korea where
ginseng is grown is rather dry
and cold.
American ginseng is especially
prescribed by the Chinese doctors
for strengthening the heart and
purifying the blood. The older
the ginseng is the better the Chi
nese like it. The sentiment Of age
in everything is potent in China.

UNCOMMON WISDOM.
Sistersville People Should Profit
By Neighbors' Experience.

It's a wise man who profits by
the experience of his friends and
neighbors. Here is chance to do
it, and every man, woman or
child in Sistersville who knows
the misery of a bad back, the ner-
vousness and restlessness caused
by kidney complaint or the an
noyance of urinary disorders, will
show uncommon wisdom to profit
by this citizens advice.
Frank Huff, who lives on the
South Side, near the bridge,
Parkersburg, says: envy kidneys
were always weak, but during a
year the weakness developed into
something more serious, causing
good deal of pain in the small
of my back and side. Sharp
twinges caught me often, espec-
tally when STOPPING or lifting, and
I was so bad sometimes that it
hurt me to straighten. When L
took cold it affected my kidneys
and back more than any other
part, and I was compelled to do
something for it. I went to a
drug store for Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me.'

Weather and Crop Conditions.

Tyler County: Weather fine for
growth; early planted corn up,
and looks well grass and oats
growing well; fruit plentiful.--F.
NJ. Lemasters.
Much warmer weather prevail
ed during the. week. The maxi
mum temperatures ranged from
65 to 80 degrees, the highest be-
ing reached on Wednesday, and
the minimum temperatures rang
ed from 80 to &c degrees. Light
frost was quite general over the
eastern portion of the State on
Saturday morning, but practi-
cally no damage was done. Scat
tered thunder showers occurred
on the 25th, Goth and 9th, and a
fairly good rain fell on Sunday
night. The mean temperature
averaged about 3 degrees per day
above the normal, and the rain
fall and sunshine were about nor
NAL. The weather Of the week
has been the most favorable of the
season for crop growth (sunshine)'
but no so favorable for farm
work. The season is about three
weeks behind. Wheat and rye
are heading, but prospect for
light crop. Some early corn and
potatoes are being worked, but it
is generally too wet for cultiva-
ton; corn is about all planted, and
is coming up, but the nights have
been rather too cool for growth.
Oats, meadows and pastures have
made very rapid growth. Pota-
toes are doing well, and stock is
in fine condition. Gardens have
| also made excellent growth. Con-
siderable complaint is made o. in
jury to vegetables by cut WORMS.
Apples, pears and cherries are re-
ported as falling considerably,
but the prospects are for a good
fruit crop of all kinds.

BrAia Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still ali.
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by Indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..

a CRIME or COMFORT

The Democrats of New Haven are
still hungering and thirsting for some
big talk. The local solos that have
been delivered here have been good
enough in their way, but they have not
been really satisfying. The Demo-
cratic aching void aches to be filled
with thunder tones and such. The
pleasing story is that it is to be so
filled a few days before election. There
will, it Is said, then come here a real
orator who win be to the local soloists
what grand opera is to church choir.
Then the faithful win be stirred, re-
Evived and strengthened They will
hear about the good old Jeffersonian
Democracy once more, and they will
feel that that is their kind. They will
be told that Victory is in the air. and
they will feel for a few minutes that
IAN that is needed is to reach up, catch
Victory BY the legs and pull it, her or
him down to perch on the Democrat
ic standard. Then they will 60 to the
polls a few days afterward. vote, and
the next morning viii see Victory
Iperched in the old, familiar perching-
Iplace.
1t is a sad thing to be a Democrat in
New Haven, and no sympathetic person
will begrudge those who are in that
condition the pleasure Of hearing some
Ibig talk just before they and their
party sink once more into what noble
Democrat called inoccuous desuetude.

Washington Star is becoming more
hopeful about the future Of the Kama
kas. At the present date, he reported
recently, there must not be less than
one thousand native Hawaiian youths
of both sexes IN training and boarding
schools OF superior character and in
constant contact with earnest Chris
tian teachers of the very best class.
Perhaps $50 young men and women
graduate from these schools every year
and go out to disseminate among their
5000 kinsmen the higher ideas they
have absorbed during the several years
Of careful training. To this is to be
added the vastly Increased knowledge
of English among the people Of the
common schools, which during the past
twenty years has lifted a majority Of
the Hawaiians into more or less ca
pacity for absorbing ideas from Eng
lish books and newspapers. The aver
age Hawaiian stiIl has a very crude
acquaintance with our tongue. But it is
growing, and the social ideas of Chris
tian civilization are becoming increas-
ingly familiar to him.

NEW zEALAND AGAIK.

What is the truth about affairs IN
New Zealand? Who knows? One story
is told one day, and another the next,
or soon after. Now comes Edward Ire
gear, the secretary of labor. and asserts
that the New Zealand arbitration act is
not working under fair and impartial
conditions; that its benefcent power is
mot fully available in the cause Of pub
lie utility. The work Of the court, he
says, is being neutralized by malignant
collateral action. The general effect OF
the act, it is remarked, has been to
benefit the whole community; to the
employer it insures stability Of business
and output; to the worker. higher
wages and shorter hours; to the gem
eral public. continuity Of trade and bus
iiness, formerly dislocated by strikes
and Iockouts. The high advantage of
this to the whole colony is evident In
the great prosperity shown in every in
dication Of the economic barometer, he
declares.
1t is represented, however, that these
effects are rapidly becoming neutralized
through higher cost OF the necessities
Iof life. prices rising out Of all proper
ton to the rise in wages. Mr.. Ire
lgear asserts that there has been no
flair ratio between the rise in wages
land in prices. He charges the trouble
to the existence of a third hand in the
game. the non-producing ground-land-
llord of city and suburban property;
the chief devourer both Of wages and
of employers profits being excessive
trent. In the capital city, as a general
Irule, one-third of the income goes to
1.-THE landlord. The shopkeeper, for in
Estance, who improves his business en-
hances the value of his holding; on the
Expiration of his lease he must sacri-
lfce his profits if he wishes renewal. a
1striking instance cited is case in a
certain city where a person living in
England bought certain piece of land
flor about $3.50. For twenty years that
person has drawn about $4,000 year
from it. and he now receives about
$4,000 a year. THE tribute levied on
1.-THE struggling colonists of New Zeal
land by this absentee would, if capital
ized, 'stagger humanity" it is assert
led. As remedy Mr.. Tregear urges
1.-THE government to consider the ques-
ltion of legislating for the requirement
Iof suburban lands and the housing Of
1.-THE citizens. He does not presume to
Suggest whether the proposition should
take the direction Of state or municipal
lcontrol of compulsorily acquired prop
Ierties, but he thinks that some scheme
should be earnestly pondered upon. He
feels that the advantages bestowed by
progressive legislation are gradually
being nullifled and win eventually be
destroyed by certain adverse influences.
1T is held that to neutralize these in
lfluences would be in the interest Of the
vast majority Of citizens.

FEED ERS And CLoTHrps

We not only feed the world but we
clothe 1t so far as cotton CLOTHING is
concerned. We are, therefore, great
feeders and clothers. But we NAV NOT
always be as big in those lines as W.
now are. Argentina, Canada and Rus
sia are going extensively into the feed
ing business, and there are several
places in the world which promise To be
good for cotton-growing. One of them
is the British West Indies. Cotton cul.
ture there has lately undergone con-
siderable development for two reasons
One is the depression in the sugar in.
dustry, which has taught the need Of
developing new industries; the other
Of course, is the increasing insufficiency
of old sources Of supply the world over
and consequent high prices. Though al
present the total area of, cotton
plantations in the West Indies is. moi
large it is capable Of extension and is
! +
being extended. There are plantations
in Trinidad, Barbados, st. Vincent, ST.
Lucia, st. kits, Montserrat, Antigua
Jamaica and British Guiana. Moreover
most OF these are growing sea island
cotton, and producing it of quality
and in a quantity equal, it is said, to the
best of that variety grown in the I'm
tied States. Before long it is expected
that no other kind will be raised there
and the area suitable for it's growth in
the islands is said to be larger than
that in the United States. There is the
advantage. too, Of cheaper labor than is
procurable in the United States.
This is a large world, and perhaps we
