THE NEW TRAFFIC ROUTES
Exchange of Products Between North
and South Has Built Up New
Systems,

It is an old maxim that lines of trade
should run north and south, rather than
east and west. The products of the
farm or factory in the temperate zone
are usually exchanged for articles pro-
duced in tropical or frigid zones.
In America, however, the ability OF
the west to produce cheap grain crops
has been SO great, says Youths Com
panion, that transcontinental sys-
TENS have been developed for carry
ing them to an eastern market, directly
contrary to the old maxim.
Now the principle underlying the
maxim is reasserting itself. The north
is filling up with people who are de-
manding southern products, and the
south is seeking northwestern grain
and manufactures from the vas. hive
which has developed about the great
lakes. That hive, having supplied the
markets at the end of its railways, has
turned to the south, where, round the
Gulf of Mexico, is a virgin field.
As a result, the gulf ports are now the
scenes of activity in dock and railway
building, such as they have never
known before, New railway lines are
extending thither down the river val
leys with remarkable speed. Others are
being consolidated so as to give south
ern fronts" One, with a terminus in
New Orleans, has recently extended its
northern end to Duluth. Another east
and west road is connecting its st. Paul
terminus with New Orleans.
The transcontinental trade of the ex-
listing lines will never be less, although
it will change. The trade north and
south is growing SO rapidly that long
before the Panama canal is opened there
are likely to be many ships in the gull
ports ready to use it.

Wool-sorters, Disease

The loss of life from anthrax, or wool
scrters' disease, has been much reduced
among sheep and cattle through the
work of Pasteur, but some cases still
occur, and the disease is transmitted to
persons handling wool. The serum Of
Prof. Sclavo, Of Sienna, Italy, is tho
latest remedy, its action being similar
to that of diphtheria antitoxin. In 100
cases of anthrax reported from different
parts Of Europe, the run has reduced
the percentage Of deaths to six, as com
pared with rs per tent. Of fatal cases Ia

The Simple Dish That Keeps One
Vigorous and Well Fed.

When the Doctor takes his own med
icine, and the grocer eats the food he
recommends, some confidence comes to
the observer.
A Grocer of Ossian, Ind, had a prac-
teal experience with food worth any
ones attention.
He says: six years ago ! became
SO weak from stomach and bowel trou-
BILE that | was finally compelled to give
up all work in my store, and, in fact,
all sorts of work, for about lour years.
The last year / was confined to the bed
nearly all of the time, and much Of the
time unable to retain food OF any sort
on my stomach. My bowels were bad
ly constipated continually, and I lost
in weight from 165 pounds down to SO
pounds.
when at the bottom OF the ladder 1
changed treatment entirely, and start
ed in on Grape-Nuts and cream for
nourishment. / used absolutely moth
ing but this for about three months. I
slowly improved until | got out Of bed
and began to move about.
Il have been improving regularly,
and now in the past two years have
been working about fifteen hours a
day in the store, and never felt better
in my life.
During these two years I have never
missed a breakfast Of Grape-Nuts and
cream, and often have it two meals a
day, but the entire breakfast is al
ways made of Grape-Nuts and cream
alone.
"Since commencing thu use Of Grape
Nuts have never used anything to
stimulate the action Of the bowels, a
thing I had to do for years, but this
food Keeps me regular and in fine
shape, and | am growing stronger and
heavier every day.
"My customers, naturally, have been
interested, and | am compelled to an
swer o. great many questions about
Grape-Nuts.
"Some people would think that d sim
pie dish Of Grape Nuts and cream
would not carry one through to the
MONDAY meal, but 1t will, and in the
most vigorous fashion"

Many a Life Spent in Suffering Because
Troubles Were Allowed to Develop
At h Time.
Every motherof growing girl should
remember that there will come a time
when her daughter will be a girl no
longer but will share with her the bless.
ings of womanhood. Unless nourish-
ment keeps pace with growth the founda.
lions of a life of suffering are laid at
that time. Mrs. John MacKinney, Of
No. ATS Thirteenth street, Detroit, Mich,
writes a timely word. She says:
"Idid not get proper care at the first
critical time in my life and for seven
teen years / suffered as a result. I had
dizzy spells, felt a constant fear that
something dreadful was about to happen
and was afraid to go out alone. My
breathing was very short and I had pal
pitation of the heart so badly that I
could not go up stairs nor walk even
moderately fast. I was so nervous that
I could not sit still. At different times
for years I was under the care of the
best physicians in Detroit and I tried a
number of advertised medicines. Moth
ing helped me until, on the advice of q
neighbor, I tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. I felt relieved before
the first boz was finished and 7 kept on
taking them until I was cured.
"Last winter my little girl had rheu-
matism and I gave her DR.. Williams'Pi Pink
Pills and she got well right away. My
niece was thought to be going into con-
sumption and, upon my advice, she tried
the pills. They cured her cough and she
is now well and strong. MY entire fam
lily are enthusiastic over DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and we can
not say enough i'll their praise"
These pills effect such cures be-
cause they go to the root Of the disease.
Other remedies act on the symptoms
these marvellous vegetable pills remove
the cause of the trouble. They have
proved themselves to be an unfailing
specific for all diseases arising from inn
pure blood and weakened nerves-two
fruitful causes Of nearly all the
ills to which humankind is heir. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are
sold in boxes at so cents a box, or six
boxes for $3.50, and may be had of all
druggists, or direct from DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, NY.

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Nov. l4th Especially
That a sure cure has been discovered for
those sciatie pains that make SO many
lives miserable, is the firm opinion of Mr..
u. s. Colson, a well-known resident of
this place, and he does not hesitate to
say that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The reason Mr.. Colson is so firm in his
opinion is that he had those terrible
pains and is cured. Speaking of the mat.
ter he says:
81 am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots of good
| had awful pains in my hip so l could
hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped
it entirely. 1 think they are a grand
medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Dodd'.
Kidney Pills make healthy. kidneys and
healthy kidneys strain all the Uric Acid
out of the blood. With the cause re.
moved there can be no Rheumatism OF
Sciatica.
