RHEUMATIC PAINS

WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
Because the Poisoned Blood Is Made
Pure and Unnamed Tissues
Are Healed.

When i'll cold or wet weather, the
rheumatic patient feels twinges of pain
III the joints aud muscles 1t is natural
10 think that the trouble is local aud
that it Is caused by the chill or the damp.
The truth is that rhe una tism is a disease
Of the blood, caused by the failure of the
body to cast Oft certain poisons. 1t Is
hereditary and often runs Ill several
generations Of one family. Cold, damp
ness and certain localities do promote
the development of the disease, but the
root Of the trouble is always iii the blood.
With this in mind, it will be readily
seen how useless it is to try to cure
rheumatism by rubbing hnilnents on
the skin. External applications are OF
use in securing temporary relief from
pain--the cure for rheumatism lies in
purifying and enriehing the blood.
Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter
street, Sandy Hill, y. Y, WAS sufferer
from infammatOry rheumatism from
the time she was sixteen. She says !:
" Ii first appeared i'll my knee joints,

the Northern Farmer Cam Practical
Iy Keep Away From the MIL Man.
With bran at k18 to So ton and
still ,lim bling and other mill foods pro-
portionately high, it is very evident
that the dairyman must leave the pur-
chase of these foods to some one else.
He must try to raise foods that will
take the place of these purchased mill
foods. And happily he can, says Pro-
fessor Thomas Shaw in Orange Judd
Farmer. In all the northern states
the dairy farmer can keep practically
away from the mill man He may do
so in other states, but he can do so
more easily in the northern and noun
tain states than in other areas. How
can he do IT BY growing fodder corn
and roots.
There is no state along the American
boundary in which first class fodder
corn cannot be successfully grown.
And there is no province Of Canada
Oh the Canadian side in which the
same may not be done. In some Of
these it may be more successfully done
than in others. hut it may be success
fully done in them all
Kind of Corn and Soil.
The kind of corn must depend ON the
locality. That kind will be best which
gives the largest amount of fodder re
CARELESS of ear production, provided
the fodder is 50 fine that it will be
practically all eaten and that it reach
es a stage of maturity almost perfect
ed before it is cut It Is greatly I'M
portant that the corn shall be nearly
mature when il is harvested and that
It shall be harvested before 1t has been
injured by frost.
Such corn will grow we'll on any kind
of drained and rich land, but In north
ern areas sandy loans are better
adapted to its growth than clays, as on
the former II grows more quickly and
is therefore more certain to mature
sufficiently before it is injured by
frost. Grass or clover is the best crop
to precede fodder corn. The roots Of
the corn reyel amid the moisture and
nutrient furnished by the decaying
grass roots.

The Lord Byron Greek society was en- tertained last night at it's hall by Judge Feagin and by O. T. Stephens of Mobile. Both made addresses, MT. Stephens, a native of Greece, speaking in his mother tongue.
 There were present more than 100 per- sons, including ladies and men not Greeks Those in attendance seemed to thorough ly enjoy the addresses, and congratulated the speakers highly for their efforts to entertain the members and their friends
 Judge Feagin spoke in English on the union and citizenship of the Greeks. His address was made along lines showing the result of close utilization among the Greeks in the Birmingham colony and also of their Americanization in customs and manners.
 MT. Stephens chose as his subject Con science, Honor and Religion" and all though his remarks were understood only by the Greeks present, he demonstrated that he possessed powers of oratory of high degree The Greeks stated later that the address was singularly interest," ing and animatng.
 The next meeting of the society will be held Sunday at noon, in the same place.
