AFTER MEN TO CULTIVATE
DELAWARE FARM LANDS.

The authorities OF Delaware have
notified the immigration Bureau al
Washington that the State is desirous
of securing several thousand immi-
grant families to take up and cultivate
a lot of now unproductive land lying
mainly in Sussex county. This land can
be purchased cheaply from its present
owners, and is adopted to truck and
fruit growing.
This information was furnished the
Immigration Bureau in reply to inqui-
ries addressed to Governor Preston Lea
by Terrence,V. Powderly, head Of the
recently organized division Of informa-
tion, which is to operate in conjunction
with the Bureau Of immigration under
Immigration Commissioner General
Sargent.
The object Of the new division is to
secure information to aid in the proper
distribution Of immigration As first
step in the work Mr.. Powderly wrote
to the Governor OF each State, asking
if immigration was needed, and, if so,
the character and class desired, and
the inducements offered.
The letter of the division of inf9rms-
to Governor Lea was turned over by
him to the State Boald Of Agriculture, I
Of Delaware, for answer. This State /
has a bureau of immigration created
by the last Legislature, which is now
getting down to work, In answering
the inquiry for the Board of Agricul.
ture, Wesley Webb, corresponding Sec
retary, writes
"The demand for working men is in
the rural districts and for farm labor
ers. Both single men and families are
needed. 1t is difficult to estimate the
N,vr but possibly 1000 of the for
mei le men make from SIS to SIS
a month and board. Heads Of families,
9Ocents to 81 80 PERI day. Boys and girls l
are paid by the basket for picking fruit

families are needed on such land, To-
Gated chiefly in Sussex county. This

J.. H. YORKE CURED OF INDIGES

Suffering Thirteen Months With indi-

to Work After Two Weeks
Treatment.

(Richmond, Va, Evening Journal of
November, 1860 tGa4
Mr.. J.. H. Yorke, OF Bowling Green
Road, HenricO county, who has been
suffering with acute indigestion and a.
had tried every remedy he could learn
of, but continued to grow worse and
finally had to give up his occupation.
To use Mr.. Yorke's words: "a short
time ago [ contracted a very heavy
cold, which settled on my lungs in ad-
dition to my other ailments, and l was
feeling as badly as a man could feel
and still alive. JUST at this time I met
Mr.. z. W. Brauer, Of Paramount, who
insisted on my going to Melville
Daniels, 701 East Franklin street, for
massage treatment, saying, if Daniels
don't cure you, I will pay the bill.
Mr.. Brauer then explained that he
had been suffering with kidney collie
two to four weeks, lasting from three
to- seven days. He had twenty-one
different physicians treat him, had
tried every known remedy without any
relief Whatever-whiskey, morphine,
etc, had no mor effect on him thar
so much water. He just had to suffer
the terrible agony until the attacks
wore themselves out. Finally he heard
of Daniels, and while he did not have
faith in this massage treatment, as a
drowning man grasp at a straw, he
decided to give him a trial, and the
next attack he had he called on Pro
lessor Daniels, who relieved him of all
pain within thirty minutes, and, after
taking five treatments, had but one
very light attack in over five months
Mr.. Brauer hen made mention OF
a number Of other very remarkable
cures effected by Mr.. Daniels. This
gave me a little confidence, and I de
cided to give this massage treatment
a trial. I did 50. After the first treat
ment I felt like a different being. In
two weeks [ was entirely cured Of the
lungs, and my back was SO much
stronger that l was able to go to my
work again. You cannot say anything
too good in behalf of Mr.. Daniels anC
his method of treatment. [ sincerely
hope other sufferers, who may rea(
of my case, will discard their skeptica
ideas and follow my example. They
will never regret it."
Professor Daniels does not use
medicine of any kind. His treatmen'
consists of light physical exercises, {
scientific massage, correct breathing
plenty of fresh air, and large quaint
ties of pure drinking water. Nature
does the rest.

Dear sir: Let's have a little pri-
vate talk by ourselves on business;
nobody else, please, read.
You want to know how to do
a cheap job # painting, and have it
look good. Here it is: The cheap
es. thing there is i'm theMayof a good
looking job-say nothing about its
being goods Devoe: the regular
thing in Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further
than any else. Lead-and-oil is good
looking; don't go SO far and costs
more The other paints are more or
less short in one way or another;
don't go so tar and costs more than
Hevoe.
Devoe costs least of all; you dom
mind its lasting longer, do you? We
can't help it; a paint that goes fur
Their, lasts longer, we can't help it.
