Ought, it would seem, to give exemption
from the diseases which prey upon the
residents OF thickly populated cities.
But there is no exemption from disease,
and i'll the country, as in the city, one
may see the checks grow hollow and the
eyes grow dull while the frame wastes
away with that terrible disease, con-
sumption.
Weak lungs are made strong by the
use of DR., Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t cures obstinate and stubborn
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and other symptoms which, if neglected
or unskillfully treated, terminate fatally
in consumption. The action of Golden
Medical Discovery in the curing of vast
ing diseases is entirely philosophic
Emaciation, and consequent loss of
weight, are among the most striking
symptoms Of what are known as vast
ing diseases. The body is not being ade-
quately nourished, and the cause of this
lack OF nourishment is not lack of food
but lack of ability in the stomach and
the other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton to prepare the food for the assimila-
ton and nutrition of the body. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
diseases Of the stomach and the organs
of digestion and nutrition, and so en-
ables the body to be nourished back to
strength N the only way by which
strength san come; that is, by food per-
fectly digested and asSimilated.
DR.. Pier>e's Golden Medical Discovery
is a terGr medicine. It contains
no aico.9i, neither opium, cocaine or
any other narcotic.
Accept no substitute for Discovery
There is nothing "just as good " far you,
though many things may pay the dealer
larger profit.

Five hundred men worked day and
night during the last few days preced-
ing the opening of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, and the transforma-
tion that took place on the grounds
and buildings was amazing. In a
single hour half a mile of railroad
track was removed from the ground,
and few hours later the rough road
where the track had run was smoothed
of and rolled hard.

SCIENTIFIC BEET CULTURE.
A Department of Berlin Agricultural
School Devoted to 1t,

A Department of Berlin Agricultural
School Devoted to 1t.
A department of the agricultural
high school at Berlin was recently es-
tablished which is devoted entirely to
the study of the scientific culture of
beet sugar, Beet sugar cultivation or
an industrial scale In Germany dates
from but little more than fifty years
ago, says q consular report, and to-
ward the end of the COS there was
established in connection with the ag-
ricultural high school q small work
Ing laboratory which, under the drec-
ton of Prof. DR.. Scheibler, devoted
its somewhat restricted facilities to the
cause OF scientific sugar production.
There were then in Germany about
$50 more or less primitive sugar fac
tories, which worked up annually 700-
600 tons of beets. These had multi
piled In 1900 to 800 factories. which
consumed 1920 tons of beets, or an
average OF more than $4,000 tons To
each establishment Meanwhile, the
requirements of the time had far trans
cended the capacity and facilities of
the institute founded by Prof. Scheib-
Ter, and the new spacious and com
pletely equipped establishment now
opened and dedicated to Its work epit-
omizes firstly the present state of the
sugar industry in Germany. 1t Is rec
ognized here above all that the abo-
lltion of export bounties by the Brus-
sells conference ended definitely long
and important chapter in the history
Of beet-sugar production and that ths
industry, deprived Of that form of arti-
fetal stimulus, must henceforth work
out it's own future upon new and in
dependent lines. 1t is to be a battle
in which scientific methods, profoundly
studied and skilIfully applied, alone
can win. To concentrate all the light
which science can give upon the task
of producing most economically from a
given. area of land the largest weight
Of beets with the highest percentage of
saccharine element to harvest the
crop, extract, cleanse and evaporate
the juice, and to conduct each step Of
the process down to the marketing of
the refined sugar with the utmost skill
and avoidance of waste-this Is the les
son which the new institute is designed
and equipped to teach.

The little one had been playing in the
sunshine while her mother was baking
bread and her father was still at work
in the fields.
Her baking finished, the mother pre-
pared tea and called the child. AS
there was no response, she went out
to look for her and not seeing her any
