The Harvest OF The Wtacrs.

One of the problems of the times
which come close to the average fam
ily's comfort and well-being IS the
price of food. 1t is safe to say that
in millions of American homes there
is more concern over the cost of meat
and other staples than there is on
account of the relations between the
national government and the rail-
roads, or even the recent attacks up
on the trusts. In the nature OF
things the outlook is not encourage
ing. AS the country fills up and the
population increases, relatively to the
land area which can be utilized, the
need of making the most effective
use of the fields will tend to cut
down the number of domestic ami
mails raised for food, in proportion
tn the number of inhabitants. The
cattle and sheep ranges of the west
will grow more valuable, and hehce
the beef and mutton they yield will
become more costly in the retail mar
kets.
These inevitable changes point to
a gradual rise in the price OF flesh
foods. There will be many tluctua-
tions but the general course will be
upward. 1t will put an increasing
premium upon poultry and eggs and
fish. 1t directs attention now to the
great possibilities of the seas, the
lakes, the rivers and even the ponds
as sources of food. The water
spaces large enough for food fishes
will not be widened. There Will net
be more lakes or oceans. But IL Is
certain that those which exist al
ready can be made far more produc-.
tive than they are now. 1t is be-
yond question that science can show
how the food harvest of the waters
may be increased perhaps tenfold.
1t is only necessary for the govern
ments interested to use their powers

TuMoRS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pnkhams
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One Of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia e. Pinkhan's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of Woman's
dread enemy Tumor,
The growth Of q tumor is SO in
sidious that frequently it's presence
is wholly unsupported until it is we'll
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from it's early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly periods
accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If YOU have mysterious pains, If
there are indications of Inflammation
or Disbursements, secure a bottle of
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin it's use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman OF its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.
Mrs. May Fry, of $40 w. Colfax

Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
II take great pleasure in writ
ing to thank you for what Lydia L.

1t Is the business Of the kidneys to
remove from, the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. There are
times when they need little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of remedy.
It has saved many people from disaster by
rendering the kidneys service at a time
when they were not able to bear their own
burdens.

Anxiety In The Army.

The commissioned personnel OF
the United States Army, or, at least,
that part of 1t which is classed among
the field officers of the special staff
corps, is much disturbed over dis
cussion which is rife in the War De-
partment. The question has been
raised as to the extent of the appli-
cation of the order issued some
months ago by President Roosevelt
requiring acrobatic horsemanship of
all officers, especially of those of tho
field grades. This imposed upon
colonies, lieutenant colonies and ma
jors an activity in oquestriansm
which struck the military personnel
as a dire visitation. 1t imposed upon
obese as we'll as indolent officers a
celebrity and endurance which was
nothing short Of youthful gymnas-
tics. 1t has occurred to someone
that, perhaps, the order might not
be relentlessly imposed upon the field
officers of the special staff corps
that is to say, the surgeons, quarter
masters and judges advocate, for In
stance, whose lives are sedentary
and whose duties keep them in the
large cities, where they do not have
the facilities for horsemanship with
out patronizing the livery stable.
1t must be admitted that military
horsemanship under such conditions
is distracted by the trolley car gong
and the rumbling truck of commerce.
and 1t Is hoped by the officers most
interested that they will be able to
escape this eXactiOn. On the other
hand, 1t must be admitted that even
the army commssary or the army
quartermaster or the judge advocate
of exalted rank is apt in time of war
to be required to mount horse and
keep up with the commanding gen
erals staff in the field. If the Presi-
dents order meant anything it must
have been preparedness for war, and
the Army will not be prepared unless
these high-ranking staff officers do
their uncomfortable turn on horse
back.-Washington Herald.
