THE coRoNER's SALARY.


A salary bill for county officials is
one of the things that is certain to
come before the legislature this win
ter. In other years it has been pre-
sented and defeated with great regu-
larity. The recent system of inspec-
tion in this state has shown so many
gross irregularities growing out of the
fee system that Il is probable that the
salary scheme may have more friends
at the coming session than ever be-
fore
Even II a general salary bill is not
passed, the Office of coroner should
have a fixed salary. 1t is not an Of
flee that collects its fees from the pub
lie. Neither the corpse, his estate, his
friends nor the person that causes the
death can be held for coroner's fees.
Then why not the county pay for the
eoroner's service just the same as il
does of any other public official who
works in the interest of protection for
the public from accident and crime.
Stark county has had her fee scan
dal in the Office of coroner. This could
be avoided by salary law that would
make a fixed charge that could in nc
way be enlarged upon.-Alliance

WAREHOUSES; ON THE FARM.
The Most Sensible and Practical
Method of HOLDING" "a Cotton Crop
for Paying Prices.

The all-absorbing cotton question,
has called forth many suggestions,
from many sources, some wise and
many otherwise. We southern plant
ers should entertain no plan save that
which is both thoroughly practical and
economical. We want to be saving and
thrifty. so that we can get able to hold
our W cotton until we are offered a
price that will give fair remuneration
for raising it. We should use every
legitimate mean in our power, first,
that no one should have any claim up
on ii, and second, to lessen the eX-
pense of commissions and handling.
One practical suggestion has come to
us that will be of untold benefit to the
south if adopted. And it requires no
organization or unanimous consent OF
all farmers to carry it out. 1t will be
of practical benefit to each and every
individual farmer who is able to put
it into execution. 1t is this, let every
farmer who raises as much as fifty
bales of cotton, erect q rock or brick
warehouse on his wv farm, store his
cotton at home and pay nothing but
his W insurance. This warehouse
can be built of rocks that should be re-
moved from the land, on most of the
southern farms. 1t should be a SUBJ
stantial and fire-proof building in ev-
cry way. Then they should get a low
rate of insurance. The cotton would
be kept out of the weather and pre-
vented from aiding the bears by COM
ing "in sight as every bale that is car
ried to town, Immediately becomes.
They could get a buyer to come to their
home. when prices justified and sell
right from their own warehouse, saw
ing weighing and commissions. When
not full of cotton, this fire-proof build
ing will always be handy in storing
farm machinery or many things of val
ne which every well-to-do farmer has
on his plantation. 1t does not pay to
leave cotton out in the weather or put
it near the barn as many are doing
now. In case of fire, they do lot want
everything together. Before another
cotton crop is gathered, We hope there
Will be built ten thousand such farm
warehouses;, by all who are able, n
they might help the situation by stor-
ing any of their neighbors' who were
not able to build. We must get the
cotton business out of the other fell
lows hands as much as possible and
into our own.-Southern Cultivator.

AGRICULTURAL STUPIDITY.
Products That We Are Importing
Which Might as Well De
Raised at Home.

1t is an astonishing fact that more
than 1000, 900 dozen of eggs are i'm
ported into the United States annual
ly, about 10000 dozen of which come
from China and Japan, while 100000
dozen come from Canada. The Ameri-
can hen is all right, but something is
wrong with the American farmer. He
| needs to be taught the usefulness of
| raising on his own land a great many
things which we are obliged to pur-
| chase in other countries for lack of Our
home supply. He must get out of his
head the notion that he must cultivate
a large amount of land, producing al
| most. exclusively the staples, corn,
| wheat, oats and cotton in large quanti-
ties to the neglect Of the numerous
minor farm products which in the ag-
| gregate are more easily raised and are
of far more value. lust think of our
being compelled to import 100000 900
worth of sugar every year! The sugar
beet will grow admirably over large
areas of this country, yielding from 13
to 20 per cent. of sugar. Experiments
| have been made by the department of
| agriculture in eighteen states with the
| finest beet seed obtained in Germany,
by which it was demonstrated that beet
sugar can Nbe produced in all OF them

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham. early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study TO the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills-Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see h a it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws hat govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a oma las such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; I'M
usual thirst. swelling of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kid
news are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.

very proftabIy. thus establishing s

very %proitably, thus establishing .
great domestic industry and keeping
at home the vast sun of money annu-
ally sent abroad for that product. Tho
sugar beet is the same plant as the or
binary garden beet which has been
made to yield IN. extraordinary per-
centage of sugar by selection of plants
for seed bearing from crop to crop.
There is therefore no reason why the
United States should not grow, not
only all the sugar needed for home con-
sumption, but export thousands OF tons
to other countries as do France, Ger
many and Austria. 1t is also a mat
ter of wonder that we should import
more than $40, 900, 900 worth of goat
skins every year when the fact has
been repeatedly demonstrated that
goats can be raised in every state OF
the union of as good quality and at as
small cost as anywhere else in the
world. The fact is, the American far
mer has much to learn in respect to
animal h%usbandry, and this is only one
circumstance in illustration. 1t is only
very recently that he has begun to
realize the fact that the same sheep
can be made to yield high priced wool
and first-rate mutton. There is, in
deed such big money in combining the
industries of mutton and wool produce
tons that sheep-raising may be o n
Quoted proftably on the highest priced
lands and therefore it is ridiculous
that we should send abroad annually
millions of dollars for the purchase of
wool in foreign countries in order to
keep our W looms in operation. The
same principle applies to vegetables.
Why should it be necessary for us to
import nearly $500, 600 worth of beans
and peas annually? Might we not raise
them just as well on our own soil? Is
there any reason why we should not
raise the $500, 900 worth of cabbage
and the 100000 worth of potatoes
which we import every year? Is there
any reason why we should buy in 9th
err countries over $1,000 worth of hay,
5000, 900 worth of hops and yer ST.
000, 900 worth of rice?-Agricultural
Epitomist.

HERE AMI THERE.

An angora is a good deal like q
sheep in that the important part of its
shelter must be such that it will KEEP
it dry.
The underbrush on a farm is done
for" when a flock of Angoras is turned
into it. Brush and goats can not live
on the same farm.
When one comes TO TAX a broad
view OF the matter there is, in reality
no best breed of fowls, for what one
breed lacks may be the special virtue
of another.
-Stock.nen are much too lax in the
matter of having registered animals
transferred On the records of the asso-
Citations in which they are entered and
numbered.
AT the weaving time the best op-
p~ortunity is given for determining the
value of the breeding ewes A large
fair lamb now is better recommended
than a heavy fleece.
The most formidable insect which
has ever threatened the fruit interests
of the United States is the San Jose
scale, and if unchecked it will in a few
years destroy many orchards and gar
dens.
Exercise is conductive to the best
development of the gifts and it also
puts them into the best of condition
for breeding purposes. A roomy pas
ture with heritage in all parts is worth
more than the feed found upon it.
Corn may or may not be a good
feed in the grain ration. 1t will de
pend upon. the use the cows make Of
it. If you have cows that will convert
it into milk it is good, if into beef, il
is bad-that is, if you are in the dairy
business.
Fodder corn. if frozen when wet
is not good for feeding. When a corn
stalk has the nature of an icicle thaW
1t out before feeding. For this reason
fodder corn should be fed first in the
season, leaving the hay till later il
hay is to be fed.

From all over the West reports come Of
cures of different forms of Kidney Dis
ease by Dodd's Kidney Pills and this
place is not without evidence of the great
work the Great American Kidney Remedy
is doing.
Among the cured here is Mr.. j. v. Wag-
goner, a well-known citizen who, in an
interview, says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
have lone wonders for me. My kidneys
used many medicines but got nothing to
cure me till l tried Dodd's Kidney Pills.

RUMOR.

The German government railways en-
ployed 559,451 persons in 1903; the num-
Der of locomotives in use was 20, S45.
The total length of the Russian rail-
way system on January IA was 37,571H,
miles. In 1904 there were thrown open
to traffic 679 miles.
The final spike in the railroad from
Canton to Samshui was driven the other
day. But before it had been driven
down "a hours it was stolen by the Chi
nese.
English railroad directors give prizes
to station masters who keep the best cul-
tivated flower beds at their respective
stations. Some of the gardens thus
maintained are beautiful.
In 1898 the butter hauled over the Min
neapolis & st. Louis railroad was 400,-
600 pounds. Last year it vas nearly IA
0O0, 900. the gain coming wholly from de-
velopments OF c~reaL4tries along the rail
road.
A report from Teheran, the capital of
the shah's empire, is to the effect that
the Persian government is negotiating
with Russia for the purpose of building
a railroad from the Russian frontier to
the capital of Persia.
Traffic through the railway tunnel at
Port Huron, Mich, will soon be handled
by six electric locomotives. The third
rail system will be used, with the rail
placed at the side of the tunnel to avoid
accidents to worAmen.
Thomas Fitzgerald, who has been ap.
pointed general manager of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, entered the serv-
ice of that corporation as water boy in
1867 and has never left it. He was born

THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some.

1t hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is sometimes
humiliating to think Of afterwards.
when | was a young girl | was a
lover Of coffee but was sick SO much
the doctor told me to quit and l did,
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.
$50 l commenced it again and con-
tinued about 6 months until my
stomach commenced acting bad and
choking as if | had swallowed some
thing the size of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and Indigestion.
"One day ! took a drive with my
husband three miles in the country
and l drank a cup of coffee for dinner.
/ thought sure l would die before l
got back to town to a doctor. l was
drawn double in the buggy and when
my husband hitched the horse to get
me out into the doctors Office, misery
came up in my throat and seemed to
shut my breath off entirely, then left
all in a flash and went to my heart.
The doctor pronounced it nervous
heart trouble and when | got home
was SO weak l could not sit up.
"My husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof-
fee, but I said: Take that back, dear,
/ will never drink another cup Of cof-
fee if you gave me everything you are
worth, for it is just killing me- He
and the others laughed at me and
said:
1.-THE idea Of coffee killing any
body
"'We1l,' I said, 1T is nothing else
but coffee that is doing it
"In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy a box OF Postum
which he brought home and ! made II
for dinner and we both thought how
good it was but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they hao
drank coffee until we laughed and tolo
them. Well we kept on with Postum
and it was not long before the olo
came back to my cheeks and | goi
st,,,t and felt as good as I ever did IN
my life. I have no more stomach
trouble and / know | W it all to
Postum in place of coffee.
my husband has gained good heath
on Postum, as well as baby and !, and
we all think nothing is too good &c

Woman Afflicted for Years by Strange
Spells of Numbness and Weakness
Receivers Perfect Health.
When she was fourteen years old, Mrs,
Ida L. Brown had st. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable SEN
sations, which she recently described as
follows:
Zone hand, half of my face, and half
of my tongue would get cold and numb.
These feelings would come on, last fol-
about ten minutes, and then go away,
several times a day. Besides 1 would
have palpitation of the heart, and my
strength would get so low that I could
hardly breathe. AS time went on these
spells kept coming oftener and growing
worse. b numbness would sometimes
extend over half my body"
GLOW did you get rid of them?"
at seemed for a long time as if Inever
could get rid of them. 1t was not until
about six years ago that I found remedy
that had virtue enough in it to reach my
case. That was DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and they have since en-
tirely cured me-"
did it take long to effect a cure?"
"Nol hadn't taken the whole Of the
first box before | saw a great improve
ment. So 1 kept on using them, growing
better all the time, until | had taken eight
boxes and then I was perfectly well, and
l have remained i'll good health ever
since with one exception"
"What was that?"
ooh! that was when I had the grip.
I was in bed, under the doctors care,
for two weeks. When I got up I had
dreadful attacks of dizziness. l had to
grasp hold of something or I would fall
right down. was just miserable, and
when I saw the doctor was not helping
me, l began to take DR.. Williams Pink
Pills again. In a short time they cured
me of that trouble too, and have never
had any dizzy spells since"
Mrs. Brown lives at No. 1705 Dewitt
street, Mattoon, Illinois. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are without an equal for the
rapid and thorough cure of nervous pros
tration. They expel the poison left in the
system by such diseases as grip and are
the best of tonics III all cases of weak
ness. They are sold by every druggist.
