A Woman's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hOl, narcotics or other harmful or ha Bit
forming drugs should be employed. Such
a medicine is DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scriptiOn-a remedy with record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it;
remedy, the makers of which print its
formula on every bottle wrapper and at
test it's completeness and correctness
under oath; a remedy devised and adapted
to wOman'S delicate constitution by an
educated physician-an experienced spe-
cialiSt in wOman'S diseases; remedy,
every Ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emf
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar diseases; remedy which has
more bOnG-tde cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for woman's
special requirements. 1t is not given
away in the form of utral bottles" to be
experimental with, but is sold at q fair
price by all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down, or drag
ging pains, low down i'm the abdomen, or
pelvis, backache, frequent headaches,
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
stomach, sees imaginary floating specks,
or spots before her eyes, has melancholia,
or rblues," or a weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resOrting to the use of DR.:
Pieree's Favorite Prescription. 1t will
invigorate and tone up the whole system
and especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any OF the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nOstrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as a substitute for med1-
cine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite PreScrip-
tion, which is OF KNOWN COMPOSITION and
has a record of over forty years and sells
more largely to-day than ever before: Its
makers withhold no secrets from their
patients, believing open publicity to be
the very best guaranty of merit.
DIR. Pierce invites all suffering women
to consult him by letter free of charge.
All letters of consultation are held as
sacredly confidential and an answer is re-
turned in plain sealed envelope. Address:

gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.

First Melon Train Passed from
South.

The movement of melons from the
south has began in earnest. as on Sat
urday. July p a special train passed
through this city over the Atlantic
Coast Line pulling fourteen cars, load
ed principally with watermelOns, al
though there were few cars contain
ing tomatoes. cuctImbers and squash,
with an occasional sprinkling of canta-
Ioupes.
The train was from points south as
confined to the New York and Eastern
markets The watermelons appeared
to me perfect in shape. we'll matured.
The acreage of the watermelons and
cantalOupes in Florida. especially in
this section, will be larger this season
than for several years, and indications
are that the fruit will be of better
quality The Griffing Bros. Company
alone have a tract of 400 acres near
Richland. while the farm near McIn-
tOsh, which is the largest in the State,
will cover nearly 1000 acres.
The grower has prOpered this season
as far as his yield is concerned, and if
prices are right money will be plenti-
full in the districts growing melons.
The train mentioned is the first solid
train of the season. 1t might really
be termed melon train, as eleven of
the fourteen coaches were loaded with
watermelOns of the first variety

Mules in Pennsylvania.

Mules have been in common Use in
the South for many years. 1t seems
that now it is being found that they
are better adapted to farm work. at

easily see that there is no danger of
their being lower in price. in fact it
is certain that there will always be
Il good demand at profitable prices
The following article, from the Tri

If there is one friend in the Key

Daniel ID. Fisher one of the most
widely known farmers in the eastern
part of t'he state Mr. Fisher says the
mule is just as valuable today to the
Pennsylvania farmer as at the time
when Lafayette presented General
Washington with one of the finest
specimens of long cared stubboness
seen i'm America.
Mr.. Fisher resides in one of the
oldest settlements in Berks county. 1t
is only mile distant where the Uni
versalist faith was first preached in
America in the homestead of George
De Bonneville, in 1745. In this house a
pulpit was erected, and consequently
it is the oldest church of this faith in
America, though it is now used as a
dwelling house. A little further in
another direction is the home of
George C. Luft, whose house is on the
spot where Daniel Boone was born,
October %, 1873, who afterward be-
came famous as the Berks county
hunter, and whose children were after
ward slaughtered by the Indians,
when, in 1863, he and his family set
out for North Carolina. In 1773 all
the BOOnes went to Kentucky, where
they met the Indians, and some met
the Indians tOmahawks as a welcome;
but Boone, after covering eight hun
dred miles in siXty-twO days, landed
i'm Kentucky, after which his name be

While Mr. Fisher does not Use the
mule as a saddle or Il carriage animal,
he says that all the successful farmers
of this grand and picturesque valley
OF Obey are begSnning 10 recoynize The
many good qualities of the beast as a
farm and draft animal.
| During the last three years farm
horses have been exceedingly scarce
in Eastern Pennsylvania. Many of
the farmers who used to keep mares
for breeding purposes have entirely
abandoned the business Some had
very poor luck in getting good colts
and became disheartened others
claimed that the dairy part of the
! farm work paid better. and they could
buy their horses cheaper Things,
however, took on another appearance
states became so high in price that the
farmers protest that they cannot afford
I to pay the big prices the dealers ask
| for them. Those are few of the
causes that the Pennsylvania farmers
have fallen back to their old friend,
the mule, which was so predominant
during the Civil War; when mining
and other iron industries We're at their
highest point in the country. and when
the mule was used for draying p,lr-
poses of the heaviest kind

of the mule is worth the lives of three
horses? He is also the better beast

the weather is, they never fear a rain

to do, and he says he has to haul the

While lowering around This Old farm
the visitor sees one of the oldest farm
houses in the state. 1t is Il large stone
house, and was erected in 1901 by
Henry Fisher, the great-grandlfather
of the present occupant The walls
are thick and the rooms large The
former dwelling house covered with
tiles. is still standing alongside the
house built in 1901. and the little tile
covered house is fully two hundred
years old; but all dates of building
have been Oblterated from the logs
upon which the name and date were
carved In this house several genera
itiOns lived before the stone house was
erected. The house that has withstOOd
the storms of 1O5 years is built as
strongly as those that were erected
during the earlier settlement of this
region. All the doors, mirrors, man
