now Ne Lives - Compared With E1hy
Yssrs Ago.
~ HE farming life Of to-day, as
~contrasted with that OF nifty
years ago, is q paradise Of
comfort and convenience. The
lonely loghouse, remote from market
and devoid Of advantages that q half
cycle of time has made possible, would
scarcely appeal to the present day
farmer.
The twentieth century soil tiller has
practically all the modern comforts.
His mail is delivered daily. He has
telephone connection with the buying
and selling world. affording the best
opportunities for marketing to advan-
tage. His home is of recent architec-
ture, constructed Of wood, brick or
stone. and well furnished. He has
modern plumbing and modern heating,
and with the advent Of acetylene gas,
he has modern lighting. At night his
home is as attractively illuminated as
that Of his city brother, for it is a sug-
gestive fact that 'acAtylene for coun-
try homes" has so appealed to the farm
er that Of the $4,000 users of acety-
lene gas in the United States the farm
er is n Of the largest Of all classes.
Ever seeking the best, he has not hesi-
tated in ayailing himself Of this new
light.
The continued growth and progress
Of this great country, ever a cause of
wonderment. has no greater exempA-
1cation than evolution on the farm.
Already the farmer is becoming the
most envied of men-the freest, the
healthiest, the happiest!

Il drank coffee freely for eight years
before l began to perceive any evil eff
fects from it. Then I noticed that I
was becoming very nervous, and that
my stomach was gradually losing the
power to properly assimilate my food.
In time l got so weak that I dreaded
to leave the house-for no reason what

in the end would leave me in a worse

improvement in the whole tone of my
system, after only two days use of the

realized that I could go about like
other people without the least return of
the nervous dread that formerly gave
me so much trouble. In fact, my nerv-

The following letters from Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among
the many thousands which Mrs. Pink
ham has received this year from those
whom she has relieved.
Surely such testimony is convincing.
Mrs. JIG. Holmes, of Larimore, North

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Ihave suffered everything with backache

1ooe U1Oorlnfnetlon n Railway Rato0s
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject In q responsible way
are likely to agree with President SAM
uel Spencer, Of the Southern Railway,
when he says: 'There is no division OF
opinion as to the desirability Of stop
ping all secret or unjustly discrimina-
tory devices and practices Of whatso-
eve character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking Of unjust
" discriminatory rates and devices,
makes a distinction which IL at once
apparent to common ense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have to
deal. To abolish such open and honest
discrimination might paralyze the in
dustries of cities, States and whole Sec
tons Of our national territory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions Of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on commercial
principles, taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial
value Of the services rendered. With the
reservation hat rates shall be charged with
out arbitrary discrimination to all shippers
alike under like conditions, the making OF
rates should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the develop
menr of the traffic and to produce the great
est results to the public and to the railroads
themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr.. Walk
er D. Hines. Of Louisville, showed in
his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalize flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
Government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention OF
some Government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase 'the tempta.
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent com
mercial condition."-New York Sun.

IT is easy to see why the doctrine
should be promulgated and followed
that advertising is the soul OF bust
ness: that the man who cannot use ad-
yertising in his business has no right
to be in business that, as Macaulay
once said, advertising is to business
what steam is to machinery, the grand
propelling power. The story is told OF
a man who once came to merchant
to buy a remnant of cloth long out OF
fashion, with which to repair gar
ment. The merchant was delighted to
be able to satisfy the new customer
and asked GLOW do you happen to
come to me for this bagatclle?" The
