An Excellent Prescription.

A rather eccentric, yet eminent physi-
clan, was called to attend a middle
aged rich lady, who had imaginary ills.
After many wise inquiries about her
symptoms and manner Of life, he asked
for piece Of paper, and wrote down
the following prescription: do some
thing for somebody" In the gravest
manner he handed it to the patient and
left.
The doctor heard nothing from the
lady for long time. One Christmas
morning he was hastily summoned to
the cottage of her Irish washerwoman

out into the black darkness for a few

So, if you PLACE to put little Of that

doctor, gravely. And more than once

Words of Praise

For the several ingredients of which Dr.
PieTce's medicines are composed, as given
by leaders in all the several schools OF
medicine, should have far more weight
than any amount of non professional teS-
timonials DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion has THE BADGE OF HONESTY on every
bottle-wrapper, in a full list of all it's in
gradients printed in plain English.
If you are an invalid woman and suffer
from frequent headache, backache, gnaw-
ing distress in stomach, periodical pains,
disagreeable, catarrhal pelvic drain,
dragging down distress in lower abdomen
or pelvis, perhaps dark spots or specks
dancing before the eyes, faint spells and
kindred symptoms caused by female weak
ness, or other arrangement of the feminine
organs, you can not do better than take
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The hospital, surgeons knife and opera
ting table may be avoided by the timely
use of vFavorite Prescription" in such
cases. Thereby the obnoxious examin-
atoms and local treatments of the family
physician can be avoided and a thorough
course of successful treatment carried out
in the privacy of the home. vFavorite
Prescription is composed Of the very best
native medicinal roots known to medical
science for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments, contains no alcohol and no
harmful or habit-forming drugs.
Do not expect too much from cFavorite
Prescription; it will not perform mira
cles; it will not Dissolve or cure tumors.
No medicine will. It will do as much to
establish vigorous health in most weak
nesses and ailments peculiarly incident to
women as any medicine can. It must be
given a fair chance by perseverance in it's
use for reasonable length of time.
You can't afford to accept a secret nos
trum as substitute for this remedy of
known composition.

The Flour We Use.
The Farmers Tribune says:

ne FARMER lI1DuIle says.
We people of to day are becom-
ing too sensitive to the appearance
Of our foods. The bread we eat must
be as white as possible. The flour
which is dark will not be used Mlllers
are aware Of the desires Of the people
and are constantly grading fours, and
the result is people are more satisfied.
The whitest -four is largely starch,
and contains but a small amount OF
gluten. It has been robbed Of it's
nutritive elements, the blood-feedlng
ingredient The gluten OF wheat is not
white, so you may be sure that your
white bread does not contain much OF
this valuable compound. 1t has been
said, and correctly, that bread is the
staff Of life But the statement is no
longer true when applied to the foolish
ly fashionable white bread Of our tables.
One of our most eminent author
tiles on foods said that the universal
use Of white flour would result in dis
aster His prediction, so little needed,
has become evident to physicians and
noted sociologists of our times It is
largely the cause of lack of development
in our children and loss of strength
and nervous disorders among adults.
You ask, how can we remedy this

more dark breads whole wheat, rye,
graham, and limited amount Of corn
bread. Oh these much can be said.
The graham -four is made of the entire
wheat kernel, and cannot for this rea-
son make a bread which is easily d.
gested, because it contains so large an
amount Of the woody outside husks,
which have no value as food and should

be removed before the -four becomes
q good food. These husks act as an If
ritant to some stomachs, causing inter
ference with Digestion The husks can
be largely removed by sitting. In re-
cent years the mil1ers have come to
our aid and have put the whole wheat
hours on the market. The non-nutr1-
tive shells have been removed and the
remainder of the kernel is ground to
an even fneness. This flour should be
regarded by all people as the best and
purest. All the nutritive elements Of
wheat are in it. 1t has been said that
no less than fourteen elements are
found in the same proportions in The
human body, as in wheat kernel.
Why be cheated out of three-fourths
of these elements by a mere wh1m!
Corn bread is also a valuable addition
to our menu, but it is largely carbohy-
drate and very heating. 1t should form
a part Of the winter, rather than of the
summer diet. There is no difference
in the food values Of the yellow and
white corn meal Many people have
supposed that the yellow product con-
tanned larger per cent of fat than the
white Chemical analysis, however,
has proved this opinion to be erron-
eous The white meal finds ready
market in the South, while the yellow
is the favorite of the Northern house

Farmers Failed Who Left Their
Farms.

Farmers, who have prospered, are
often taken with a notion that it will
be easier for them if they sell out and
go to town to live. 1t is not a good
thing, as a rule they have to work
harder than they did on the farm
Green's Fruit Grower contained an
editorial on this subject as follows:
There are many farmers who fail
attempting late in life to sell the farm
and move to the village or city to en-
gage in business in which they have
no experience and thereby lose their
money. To these I feel like giving a
word OF caution.
There is much to be learned about
any particular business. 1t has taken
the farmer many years to learn how
to run farm successfully. It requires
many years to know how to manage a
grocery successfully, a shoe store or
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-12-19

any other kind Of business, therefore
the man who has spent the larger part
Of his life upon the farm cannot be ex-
pected to be prepared for competition
with sharp, shrewd men in the grocery
business and other lines of trade.
I can see why the farmer, late in life
when his children have grown up mar
ried, and have left the farm home, may
desire change and rest from what
seems to him the monotony Of sowing,
reaping, haying, harvesting, and beat
ing paths through the snow in the Win
ter, but | would hesitate about advising
my friend under such circumstances, to
sell his farm. When the farm is sold,
and the money placed in the bank
where it draws but little interest, the
retired farmer feels tempted to other
wise invest this money, and here is
where he often comes to grief. 1t is
more difficult to invest money safely
and wisely than it is to make it.

as farmer Had one Of the most
beautiful farms with attractive and
commodious buildings. Late in life he
sold this farm and moved to the city
Of Rochester, N. Y Here he lived
comfortably for several years and many
pointed to him as an example Of at
least one farmer who has handled his
money successfully after having sold
the farm. But later on this man be-
came interested in a mining company
in which he lost every penny Of his
fortune. This misfortune SO preyed up
on him as to cause his DEATH
The man who feels tempted to sell
his farm to escape hard work can &C
complish the same results by remain
ing upon the farm, and by hiring men
to do all the work, or even by leasing
the farm for cash consideration or on
shares. He can ease up as regards
labor and anxiety and still retain pos
session Of the farm. No man should
desire to be idle, for idleness breeds
physical diseases and disorders.

When Secretary Taft In his speech

When Secretary Taft In his speech
at Greensboro declared the Republi-
can party to be one of performances;
the Democratic party one of promis-
es, he simply uttered a fact as old rs
the parties themselves. The record
of the past Congress may be held up
for confirmation of the statement.
Though it may be charged and in
some respects 1t Is to be admitted
that Congress did not do all the
things that 1t might and should have
done, 1t likewise must be admitted
that every piece OF legislation that
had for its purpose the welfare of the
people, emenated directly from the
Republican party. President Roose-
welt of course doomed up greater than
any other individual but he had the
support of many of the strongest men
In both branches of Congress. and in
most cases the men who pushed at
The wheel were Republicans.

auditor of state, Warren Bigler. and
the deputy state auditor, John f. Reid,
accompanied by three expert account
ants, made a formal demand on the
proprietors of the West Baden and
French Lick Springs Hotel companies
for an examination of their books.
The demand was made under a sec
ton of the state law allowing the
state auditor to examine all books of
corporations organized under the
voluntary association act, under which
both hotels are Incorporated.
The books demanded included all
books of the companies showing
moneys charged, received and paid
out; all deeds. contracts. leases, agree
ments and other instruments in writ
ing relating to the company; all
minute books of the company showing
the stock held by the stockholders
and directors; their stock books;
copies of all literature issued by the
companies since their cooperation:
inventories made of the companies,

who were the rightful lessees, and
also to find whether they were straight

Neither Mr.. Taggart nor Mr.. Sin,
