The law requires man in China TO

say, a man would be ostracized IL he
gave any signs whatever OF grief on
the death of his wife. Two intimate
friends engaged in conversation would
never think OF even mentioning the
name Of any female relative. The most
common custom Of "How's your wife,

The Best Guaranty Of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle OF DIR. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into It's composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cnes IN class all by themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unpre1udiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them TO
their patients. They. know what they
are composed OF, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. the
great stomach tonic. liver invigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
rFavorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
10 a place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, OF proper
strength, Is better solvent and preserv-
alive of the medicinal principles resid-
ing In our Indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that IL possesses valuable medicinal
properties OF its own, being demulcent,
nutrltive, antlseptc, and most efficient
antiferment
Neither OF the above medicines con-
tdiilc altbilOis VI any ndi ulluis IaDll-
forming drug, as will be seen from
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe TO use and
potent TO cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, nOn-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think Of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position of DR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind OF an endorsement
from leading medical writer's OF the
several schools OF practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.

If you have catarrh, with offensive

Hy-o-mei is made from nature 5
soothing oils and balsams and contains
the germ-killing properties of the pine

soothing any irritation there may be in

that money will be refunded unless the
treatment does all that is claimed for it.

A great stiffness fell on the waiting

one fireman had gone TO fight his way

the fifth floor lacers. Then all at once

MORE FENCES.
A Great and Growing Need on Big
Farms In the West.


There is not a township in the great
central or southern west but what can
show a dozen or more Of what YOU
might call first class farmers. These
are the men whose affairs should be
studied by the average nan and whose
ways should be initiated in measure
at least.
One OF the most successful farmers
of the great central west recently stat
ed that in his opinion the greatest need
now in this area is more and better
fencing. His doctrine was that every
fence on the farm should be hog tight
so that hogs instead Of being raised IN
dry lots around the buildings could
run hther and thither over the pas
lures. over the stubble fields and when
the corn is husked out over the corn.
ltalk fields.
a Good Sound Doctrine.
II was the belief Of this man that
farmers could sooner or later eradicate
absolutely the disease of swine plague
and cholera 10y adopting this plan. 1t
adds stamina to the breeding stock.
and il certainly paves the way for
making cheaper pork or course 10y
using more grass and less grain IL
may take a little longer to finish hogs,
bnt in his opinion 100 pounds can be
made cheaper by taking year or four
teen months to do It than can be done
by making il largely on grain in nine
or ten months. We believe that this is
good, sound doctrine to preach to our
readers. says Iowa Homestead. Fenc-
ing, it is true. is costly. and yet prices
are by no means probibitory.
Not All at Once.
II is not our thought that any man
will undertake TO fence his farm with
hog tight fences all at once. but by add
ing 40. so or 100 rods year the task
will soon be finished, and in the mean
time the increased income from the hog
end of the farm will take care of the
fencing bills.

The fact that the eastern fruit grow
ers and truck growers are not as well
organized as are the western and more
distant producers IS very largely due to
the fact that they have the advantage
Of lower express rates and that the
merchants will handle their goods in
small consignments. BY this method
Of small individual shipments the prod
uct upon the market is less uniform in
character both as regards grade and
method and type OF package than IS the
case when the product is marketed
through the exchange and In carload
lots. In order TO handle carload ship
ments successfully vegetables must be
uniform In character and size and the
product well graded. These are adj
