A Former Pronounced DyspePtic He Now
Kejoiccs in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid Of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes fromNa
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. ~ was suffering from dyspepsia.
The palma i'll my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
- comfort begins with eating, fills up tho
sGntervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is native Of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one Of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
Dr. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea, pain or
burning i'll the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use Of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, n great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
DR.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter OH the simplest
means for the cure Of constipation.

Mystery About Shooting.

Council Bluffs, Jan. 1.-Mrs. Daisy
Byers, wife of John M. Byers, a fire
man at the Union Pacific roundhouse,
is lying at the hospital suffering from
a sever wound in the face caused by
a bullet from a revolver. Mrs. Byers
ccuse her husband of shooting her.
Byers, on the other hand, denies the
charge and insists that the woman
turned the revolver on herself. Circum-
stances tend to the belief that the
woman is, owing to sickness, some
what mentally unbalanced and the
authorities are inclined to believe
that the husband is innocent OF the
shooting.

Establishing Pure Bred swine.

1 do not think any farmer can make
a success of pure bred swine if he is
constantly under the thumb of some
fellow breeder, says an Ohio farmer
in American Agriculturist. 1t is often
difficult to know just what breed to
select and where to get the first ami
mails. l have seen more than one fail
ure where a wrong start was made. 1
always buy the very best individuals,
considering carefully the breeding Of
the animals. | have always selected
from the leading strains. By start
ing right the battle is half won. In
making a selection a farmer must rely
largely on his own judgment. He
should acquaint himself with the type
of animal preferred and not be salts
fled until just what is desired is found.
A nice head and ear, strong back slight
ly arched, full heart girth. broad and
deep across the hams and shoulders,
good strong bone that will carry plenty
of flesh, are points to consider. Fine
quality Of hair is also a special feature.

Fatten Horses
On the Farm

From u document issued by the Iowa
Agricultural college we learn that the
following method of fattening is prac-
ticed at sorne horse fattening estab-
lishmentS: Corn is given at 5 o'clock
in the morning and water at &. Hay
is fed at 8 O'Clock and also oats and
bran in the proportion of two-thirds
bran and one-third oats. At - o'clock
corn is again fed, and at 8 O'Clock oats,
9 in the morning. At 4 O'Clock they
are again watered and at 6 are once
more fed corn. When corn is fed from
ten to fifteen ears are given at each
feed.
When oats and bran are fed three
quarts are given ut each feed, making
in all from thirty to forty-five ears Of
corn and six quarts of oats and bran
per day. And to add to the injury Illus
done to the staying powers the horses
are not given any exercise, partly be-
cause of the idea that exercised they
would not fatten so quickly. To avoid
swelling in the legs because of want
of exercise Glauber's salt is used. 1t
is fed mixed with the oats and bran
some instances oilmeal is added to the
food mentioned because of the effect
1t has upon the skin and coat.
Farmers should not lose sight Of this
fact, as persons conducting those es-
Establishments get the profits which the
farmer ought to have. Their agents
go through the country and pick up
horses poor in flesh. They do so as
such animals can be purchased cheap
ly. They are then subjected to the
system of fattening described above
and in a short time are sold at great
ly increased prices. In some instances
great gains are made. One instance is
recorded of a gain of So pounds per
day for a period Of so to 100 days. In
another instance 10 horses made an
average daily gain of 3 1-3 pounds for
a period of 90 days.-Farmer.
Shooting Colts.
In shoeing colts they should be shod
according to the work intended for
them to do. If for the road, shoe with
plate shoe with a little heel calk ON
the hind shoes, no toe calk. says C.
w. Broadhead in Pennsylvania Report.
If the feet are crooked, build up with
a thick sided shoe, so as to bring the
feet as level as possible. If the colt
is to be shod for draft purposes and
needs calks shoe with as low calks as
possible, always setting the toe calk
back from the edge of the shoe some
distance. that will cause the colt to
set his foot down on the ground square
to pull, and he WI learn that in the
start and V Glib on his toes, as
a horse will do if he has the toe calk
out on the extreme edge of the shoe,
as is the habit of most shoers today.

Balky Horses.

Don't overload the horse, for this
causes more balky horses than any 9th

National Stockman. There are many
other aus 1t may be bred in the

all of which are affected with the dis
ease. But most cases could be pre-
vented by being careful in loading.
When the ground is a little soft is a
likely time to overload or by getting
into ruts on the road when the wagon
is heavily loaded. If we watch all
these little points most cases could be
prevented. Be careful, as there is no
medicine which comes in a bottle which
will cure the baker.

Indicted on Old CHARGE.

Des Moines. Jan. 2.-The informa-
ton leaked out that the grand jury
of this county indicted Charles
Thomas for a murder committed in
this city nearly six years ago. This
was the murder of Mabel Schofield, a
young girl whose body was found in
the river. There was great mystery
over the case, and for several years
efforts We're made to bring about the
conviction of young Thomas. 1t is
supposed new evidence has been
found. The theory is that Thomas
drugged the girl to accomplish her
ruin and as she died he took the body
to a bridge and threw it into the river.
He was a hack driver and lived where
she boarded. His present where
abouts are unknown.
