Mr.. Newman certainly had q very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New
mans for he had head, heart and stom-
ach troubles combined with great weak
ness. He recently said:
"The attack of grip which had eight
years ago left me in very bad fix. ]
became nearly deaf and my head ached
continually and was filled with kissing
and roaring sounds. Ny heart fluttered
and had regular running-away spells.
Ny stomach was so sore that / could
hardly bear q touch on that part Of my
body. ] had great deal Of pain In the
region Of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. Ny kidneys
eched so at times that could hardly
srand."
didn't you give up and 90 to bed1"
he was asked.
"No, / simply wouldn't. Ny head
and my back ached dreadfully, but I
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
"What did you do to get relief?"
"First tried q doctor, but he did me
no good. Then / took all kinds Of adj
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until began to use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as I got them !
knew that had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else I
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and In three months they
positively cured me. I think I was
scarcely ever in better health in my life
than am at present"
Mr.. William A. Newman is q WELL
known Camden county farmer, living at
Sagrada, Missouri. His case was Sc
we're test for any remedy, but DR.. Will
Hams Pink Pills met every requirement.
Other remedies merely drive the poison
of the gsipinto hiding, but DIR. Williams
Pink Pills drive it out Of the system.
They are sold by every druggist.

Atlanta, Cattle recent proposition
of ]. Pope Brown, chairman Of the
Georgia railroad commission. to reduce
the passenger rate in Georgia from
three to two cents per mile was pro-
tested against by the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, the Order OF
Railway Conductors. and unions OF the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
er, boilermakers. railway trainmen,
carpenters and joiners. clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such a reduc-
ton would work against the prosper
ity of the state and lead to a reduc-
ton in the number Of railroad en-
ployes as we'll as Of their wages. The
Travellers Protective association also
protested that reduction as proposed
would result in few trains and poor
service.

The term "ptomaine poison" Is In
sverybody's mouth, but few know what
1t really is. 1t develops, says What
to Eat, through the action OF acid on
tin That is why every can of meat

out into an earthen bowl or crock imme-

that is why mayonnaise should never

Investigation showed that the mayor

Juice, had been allowed to stand all day

kill 40 men, and had the women eaten
the mayonnaise from the bottom OF

them.
One of the greatest conveniences in

Fine table linens should be frequent

BETTER THAN ALL COTTON.
Fruit and Truck Taking the Place
of Cotton On Some of the
Texus Farms.

On q farm near Jacksonville, Tex,
nine years ago, a man who had found
out that peaches could be grown with
profit, began to experiment with vege-
tables and small fruits. His first in
vestigation was with tomatoes. He
realized that if that country was to
prosper in an agricultural way, there
must be some crop besides cotton.
The first yield proved that the profits
of an acre could be made TO reach $500,
which is four times what can be re-
allied from cotton. Notwithstanding
the undispted success of the expert
ment, people were ircredulous. The
next year he added potatoes to his line
of experimental crops in diversified
ton. That year, 1897, there were per-
haps not more thnp fifty cars sent
from the entire state, but from the
experiments of Wesley Love and one
or two others at Jacksonville. the fruit
and truck industry in east Texas has
grown until the shipments in 1904
amounted to nearly eight thousand
cars.
The immigration from the north and
east exceeds anything probably that
ever occurred in that remarkable
movement twenty years ago, when the
tide was to the northwest Thousands
and thousands of acres have been taken
from the cultivation of cotton and
turned TO orchards and truck fields. Po-
tatoes yield about 120 to 165 bushels
an acre on an average, and last yeaI
sold at s1.02 a bushel on the cars al
Morrill,, Jacksonville, Lufkin and Ty.
Ter. Often the ground grows two
crops the same year.
Many fruit growers have come from
the north. Roland Morrill,, Michigan
since the possibilities in fruit culture
have become known, has bought up IL.
600 acres on the Cotton Belt south o.
Tyler. Eleven hundred acres are al
ready in peaches. Mr. Morrill, will in
crease this to $500 acres in peaches
There are already several hundred
acres in apples, plums and strawber
ries. and the acreage in trees VIII d
increased as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. Morrill, says that in the twent.
months since he put out his first tree
he has grown FIVE crops of potatoes
He probably will make his potatoes pa,
for the land by the time his trees be
gin to produce a proft.-The Appl

In fact it is with swine that Mrs. III
rich makes the greatest success. In the
10 years she has directed her attention
to pork culture she has never pur.
chased but one litter of hogs. She has
never had her droyeS afflicted with
cholera. Her porkers were never sick
but once, and that was the year she
left their care to farm hand, and he
fed them too much salt. Mrs. Uuch's
methods of success are simple. She
feeds a preventive of cholera regular
ly, ami feeds and sleeps her hogs on
different floors.
AS side issue Mrs. Ulrich sells an
nually coo pounds of butter aud 400
chickens, besides a quantity OF small

Mrs. Ulrich is of Kentucky descent
and delights in dainty hospitality to-
ward those who visit her home. She
is very modest about her achievements.
Mrs. Ulrich has Travelled considerably,
despite her busy life. She is eligible
for membership in the Daughters OF
American Revolution, her grandfather,
Brown, having fought in the American
revolution.
Often during the life time OF her
husband Mrs. Ulrich assumed the di-
rection of the farm, while her husband
worked at bricklaying. The remark
able thing about Mrs. Ulrich is her
physical strength. She can climb over
