AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Wonan's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply. but free your system from tho
disease which Is the cause OF your
suffering. That Is the message which
a former victim OF neuralgia sends To
those who are stlll In It's grasp. Hot
applications. powders that dcadcn the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure To return vita

GREAT SOLAR SPOT FOUND.
Prof. Brashear Announces Discovery
Which Portends Storms.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Professor John A.
Brashear of the Allegheny observatory
has announced discovery Of one Of
the greatest sun spots ever called to
tine attention of astronomers. He says
electrical disturbances will be expert
enced throughout the country soon.
These disturbances, he further de-
clares, may take the form Of dis
play OF the aurora borealis or tele-
graph and telephone communication
may be seriously affected.
The present spot is SO large that 1t
can be seen through smoked glass and
the scientist says 1t is one of the most
of the discovery Professor Brashear
says
"A very large and beautiful sun spot
or solar disturbance is now crossing
the face of the sun and is approaching
the central meridian. This Is the larg-
est spot that has been seen for sew
eral years. Its approximate length is
11S,000 miles and 1t is 10000 miles
wide, covering an area of about $780,
900 square miles. There is considera-
BILE activity In the spot and there may
be some electrical disturbances on tae
earth soon, but this is rather difficult
to predict on account of the position
OF the disturbance In relation TO the
earth.
Besides this great group OF spots.
there are three other groups to the
west OF it, and fourth is Just leaving
the sun on the eastern side. This
great spot can be readily seen by the
naked eye with piece of smoked
glass. Indeed. my attention was call.
ed to 1t by gentleman who saw 1t
through the morning fog. We have
been observing the spot with great
interest, measuring 1t and estimating
Its size. 1t is great spot. stretching
an eighth of the way across the sun.
1t comes at a time when 1t is not
usual to expect sun spots and is OF
greater interest for that reason. Why
1t now appears is not explained"

from the wholesaler or manufacturer
and 1t will be sent to the purchaser
in as good condition and short time
as II 1t had been ordered from cata-
logue house. The home merchants
business must be kept up and in order
to do this 1t is absolutely necessary
that the people at home patronize
him and help him keep up with the
times. or else he will soon be out OF
the struggle for existence among the
country people.
The home merchant should not be
expected to pay the highest price for
produce and farm products and then
be turned down by the seller of these
articles when he wants anything In
the merchants line. He should be the
first one to be consulted when the
farmer intends buying. He should be
seen and arrangements made for the
purchase OF the article, II he does not
carry 1t in stock.
The home merchant advertises or
should advertise, In the home paper.
This keeps the home paper in the field
and helps the community along. The
people take the home paper because
1t gives all the local news that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements Of the merchants are
read by them. II the people do not
patronize the home merchant he can.
not afford to advertise, and without
advertising a paper will soon prove a
failure. Soon the home paper Is sent
to the wall for the want OF support
from the merchants; 1t may have a
large circulation, but without the mer'
chants help it will soon be lost to
sight. Then the merchant Is next to
get out of business for the want OF
support. and the town will decrease In
population, and the people will won
der what the trouble is when the
editor and the merchant leave town
together.
The home merchant contributes to
the support Of the church. he pays
his taxes to keep the schools up. he
contributes to the horse show, the fall
festival, and the hundred and one
things that he is supposed to help out
and give his support to. He is at the
head of the list for everything that is
for the good of the community and he
deserves the honest and hearty CO
operation of all the people. all the
time, that are interested In the wei.
fare of the community in which they
live. The merchant helps to elect the
men that are to represent them in the

,at heart the welfare Of the community

UTILIZING CORN FODDER.
The Best Way is to Cut Il Up Into
Short Lengths.

1t is desirable to utilize all the
food value there is In the corn fodder.
though the usual way of feeding 1t to
the stock Is very wasteful method.
Where the daily supply of fodder is
thrown in the barn yard at feeding
time, what the cattle do not eat is
trampled down and destroyed SO far
as the feeding value is concerned.
The leaves and the stock are all stock

the length Of the fodder is readily
eaten in racks without cutting. When

that they are In reality paying more
for an inferior grade OF goods than
those sold by the home merchant.
which probably cost them few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world and
begun operations In the United States.
all kinds OF schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking for
bargains. No expense has been spared
In their struggle for the almighty dol
lar OF the country people. and they
have been SO far successful. at the
great expense Of the home town Of the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
