-Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
OF the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some Journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, 1t has, in q
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious fnRre-
dlentS complained OF. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce. of Buffalo,
N Y, took time by the foreIock,p as it
we're, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely foreStalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they

agents, their ingredients being purely

medicinal plants found growing in the

WORK OF DEMOCRATS
Was the Only Good Work of The
Recent Congress.


The session of congress just con-
cluded has shown the power of an
honest and vigiIant minority. The
Democrats were signalIy successful
in forcing the passage of the rate
bill. although they could not de-
feat its mutilation on important
amendments They joined with
honest Republicans in defeating
the Roosevelt and the Repub blican
machine program for the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico as one
state and in passing the enabling
act for the admission of Oklahoma.
The Democrats compelled the Re-
publioans to pass the Tillmap-
Gillespie resolution for the investi-
CATION of the railroads and the GOAL
and oil companies, which has al
ready resulted-iu the startling ex-
posures of the Pennsylvania rail-
road scandals They have. with
Republican assistance, defeated
the Santo Domingo treaty, which
so greatly enlarged the scope of
the Monroe doctrine and threaten
ed to involve US in quarrels with
all the South American republics
and likewise the notorious ship
subsidy steal. which was recon-
mended by President Roosevelt.
If the Democrats had been in
power they would have passed
many very meritorious measures
which the majority defeated, among
which were the TiIIman bill design
ed to prohibit contributions by
corporations to the campaign oor-
ruption funds; the child labor bill {;
the bill to reduce the Philippine
tariff; bills to revise the tariff, es-
peoially the bill to reduce tariff
rates which exceed 100 per cent;
the Tillmsn resolution for the in.
vestigation of the national banks in
respect to excessive loans to favor
ed persons; the La Toilette resolu-
ton for investigation of the rela.
tions between the railroads and the
grain elevator corporations, and the
joint resolution to amend the con-
stitution 30 as to provide for the
election of United States reuators
by direct vote of the people, be-
sides many other wise laws that
were introduced but not reported
by the committees controlled by
the dominant party.
The Republicans passed the law
to increase the Presidents com.
pensation on the pretense of paying
the travelling expenses of himself
and friends; the bill deciding that

omission have only been exceeded
by their sins of commission during

Are Women More
Vain Than Men7

tNhNaI
Beatrice Fairfax says: VANITY
prompts us to make the most of
ourselves and keeps us from grow
ing lax and indifferent"
No girl is ever more vain of her
pretty face than a man is of his
strength.
Are women more vain than men ?
1 hardly think SO though there
seems to be prevailing idea that
they are.
Women are perhaps more fond
of pretty things. but as far as their
personal vanity goes I cannot see
that they are a whit more vain than
men.
Have you ever watched man
buy hat?
Talk about fussing9 A woman
does not fuss as much over two
hats as the average man over one
He'll tell you that he has to fuee
in order to get comfortable one
but it's not comfort alone that he's
fussing over. He isl just as anx o ls
that his hat should be becoming a
any girl.
And his neckties2 Doesn't he
pick up one and then another and
change his mind half dozen times
before he strikes the right one?
You find quite as many men
gazing in the windows where mems
furnishings are sold as you do wo
men gazing at the dry goods and
millinery displays.
It is born in a woman to like
pretty clothes. She likes to look
at them even though she cannot
afford to wear them.
a bunch of bright ribbons tied
to the side of cradle will amuse q
girl baby for hours. She loves
the pretty oolors.
AS she grows up her mother
fuses over her clothes and tries to
curl her hair and make her look
pretty.
She hears foolish people talk
about her curls and her clothes,
and it is no wonder if she grows a
trife vain.
The boy, on the other hand, has
no encouragement to become vain.
His clothes are not as elaborate,
and if his mother is blessed with
common sense his hair is CLOSE.
cropped.
His vanity develops as he grows
up.
By the time he is 16 he is quite
as vain as his sister, whose vanity
has received every encouragement
from her babyhood up. 1t is safe
to assert that he spends as much
time before the glass as she does
If girl should say: "Are not
my eyes lovely?" she would be
looked upon with soorn, and yet no
one seems to object when man
says: Look at my arm: isn't that
g splendid bunch of muscIe?"
Now, why is it any more wrong
to be proud of your eyes than your
muscles?
Vanity, unless it be overweening,
is not bad thing at all.
1t is vanity that keeps US up tc
the mark in many ways.
1t prompts US to make the most
of ourselves and keeps US from
growing lax and Indifferent.
Women finds no fault with man
for being vain.
As long as a man is not namby-
pamby and effeminate he may be
as vain as he pleases.
No woman likes conoeited man.
but vanity and conoeit are two very
different qualities.
Man, on the contrary, is never
weary of railing at woman's vanity.
He-Ioses no opportunity of show
ing her up in a ridiculous OF fool
ish light.
That is hardly fair, is itP For,
as l said before, man is quite as
vain as women.

Why Not Pay Debts

Every time you take a drink of
whisky you have swallowed two
ioaves of bread. When you smoke
half dozen of cigars you have
burned up pair of shoes for the
children. The cost of a spree
would more than give the family
fried chicken for week. All this
many of our subscribers may be
guilty of. and yet they say they
can't pay their subscription.
It was stated recently at public
hearing in Australia that S.. .OOO,-

Selecting PUllets.

It has been said the pullet that CON-
mences to lay earliest in life is the one
to lay tic largest number of eggs
through life, as cattle that have the
milk producing organs active make the
pest COWS. Select the fast growing,
early maturing specimens that pre-
sent in full the type and size found in
the breed. and use only these as breed
ers. and the egg producing merits will
be increased 1t is care and atten'

these merits in the progeny. Neglect
and haphazard breeding never pays.
In short, the April and May Matched
pullets can be brought into profit only
when they receive the best Of care,
