PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yieidea,.
Or. Williams Pink Pills,

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic's fate to which he seemeda
short time ago hopelessly doomed. Ths
surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured In a
personal interview with the recent sui.
ferer.
1.-THE DOCTOR" said Mr.. Kenney, told
me that if 1 wanted to live any length
of time I would have to give up work al.
together, and he told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body
Just how were you afflicted at this
time?" Mr.. Kenney was asked.
"Well, I had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt a. if needles were being stuck
into it. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again 1 would nave
no feeling at all, but q nunbness would
come over me, and would not be able to
move. The most agonlzing tOrtures came
from headaches and a pain in the spine.
Might after night | could not get my
natural sleepand my system was wrecked
by the strain of tOrturing pains and the
effect of the opiatcs 1 was forced to take
to induce sleep. AS I lock back III the
terrible suffering ! endured during this
period often how l retained my
reason through it all.
But relief came quickly when !
was induced to try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The very first box
seemed to help me, and seven boxes made
me entirely we'll. There can be o doubt
about the thoroughIesS of my cure. for
have worked steadily ever since and that
is nearly -four years.
Mr.. Kenney is at present employed by
the NeuiGlac Hat Company aud resides
at lOl Aubin street. Amesbury, Mass.
The remedy which iIeruscd with SUCH
satisfactory results. is sold by all drug
gists, or direct by the d.. Williams

and Stomach Trouble.
2. What Is the beginning of sickness
Consultation

9. What is the beginning of sickness
A. Constipation.
Q. What Is Constipation?
A. Failure OF the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where 1t decays and poisons the en-
tire system; Eventually the results are
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach and bowel trou-
bic. at the present time.
=. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call Of Ma
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Excess
sive brain work. Mental emotion ard i'm
q. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rhcuma-
lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t is the one
disease that starts all others. Indigestion.
dyspepsia, diarrhea. loss Of sleep and
strength are it's symptoms-piles, app"udl.
citis, and fstula. are caused by Constipa.
ton. Its consequences are known to all
physicians, but few sufferers realize their
condition until 1t is too late. Women be.
come confirmed invalids as a result OF Con-
%stipation.
9. Do physicians recognize this?
a. Yes; The first question your doctor
asks you Is Are you Constipated?' That
Is the secret.
q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. the
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor OIL
injections, etc, every one of which Is 10

perlence.

Water Basin for Chicks.

Take n basin that viii hold about
two quarts of water and fill it with
pebbles a little smaller than eggs.
When level full Of the pebbles, pour
in the water until the spaces between
them are full. Sink the basin in the
ground until the rim is an inch above
the surface. The chicks can run all
over this, stepping on the pebbles and
can drink the water without getting
wet. We have used such a fountain
for years with perfect 1t Is

LoadinS Corn Fodder.

Loading corn fodder may not be
very hard work to the small farmer,
but when one has the product of many
acres to load it becomes a formidable
operation. The work can be much
more easily done if the following de-
vice is used: Make a loader by using
a two-inch plank ten feet long with
cleats of inch stuff nailed on one side
at short intervals. At one end nail a
cleat on the under side, which will be
three inches. wider than the board on
each side. Tie small ropes to this cleat
and with them fasten the rack to the
back part of the wagon rack, the lower
end Of the plank-rack resting on the
ground.
This makes a stepladder up which 1t
is easy to walk and if strongly made a
nan can readily carry up it all he can
get his arm around. With this plan
one man can do the work of loading a
wagon easily without spending the

Picket Fence Device.
A simple effective plan for building
a picket and wire fence without a ma
chine is suggested by G. c. Schneider
of Ava, Mo. He says:
A device which will answer the pur-
pose Of a fence machine is made as
follows: Take pieces of 2x4 a foot or
SO long, bore two small holes near the
end Of each, put the wires through
these holes and fasten to post where
you wish to begin. Then stretch your
wire and staple to post some distance
ahead, leaving the staples loose
enough so the wire will slip when it is
drawn tight. Let eight or ten feet of
wire extend beyond the post and to
those fasten heavy weights to keep the

Most diaries kept in old colonial days
have already, if they contain anything
Of more than family interest, found
their way into print But not a few
old families cherish ancient account
books, notebooks, scrap-books, sermon
books in which some ancestor has jOt-
ted down an intermittent journal OF
public events, personal opinions and
domestic occurrences on opposite
leaves to the regular record, or e
casually interspersed among pious quo
tations Inc items Of expense.
In one such there occur four entries,
widely separated, which the writer's
descendants like to read conscientious
", and which they sometimes call cit
tie great-grarlimotier's story" It is Il

Another eight years, and then two
more entries with but a few weeks in
tervai between them. Marriages were
early in those days:

Cost of Silapc.

We have from time to time laid be-
fore our readers the cost of putting
corn in the silo. says Farmers Trib-
une. Some men are able to grow he
corr at a cost of about 80 cents per
ton of green matter. They are able to
put it in the silo for another 30 cents,
making the total cost of the silaSe in
the silo approximately 81 per ton.
Sometimes the cost goes as high as
$3.50, sometimes even higher.
Sam Schilling, who is manager of
joel Pheatwole's heard at Mortified.
Mimi, kept an accurate record of the
cost of putting sixteen acres of corn
in his silo last year and these figures
were given before the Minnesota But
ter Makers Association this spring by
Mr.. Schilling. They are as follows:

Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Trinidad. Colo, May 9Rumors which
have been in circulation that the Santa
F'e railroad on this division is in a hole
with reference to its motive facilities,
and that the congestion of freight on
the road is due to the fact that engines
are in such a condition that it is i'm
possible to take them out of the round
house, are vigorously denied by officers
Of the road. Some of the railroad men
say, however, that many of the engines
have not been overhauled for weeks,
and that they die" on the road, neces-
stating that they be sent back to the
shops.
It is also being asserted that the off,
Gals of the road are not trying to haul
anything except passenger trains and
perishable freight, and that even with
this train crews have been obliged to
work from twenty-six to thirty-six
hours at a stretch.
Officials of the road claim that the
water famine is largely responsible for
the lack of engines. They assert that
the alkah water which must be used
eats out the boilers and causes them
to leak It is further claimed that the
road is hauling everything given to it.
J. E. Hurley, the new general man
ager of the Santa Fe, has been here
experimenting the moving of trains de-
layed by the recent floods.
