Ordinary Methods Failed Even to

There are still people who say that
partial paralysis cannot be cured.
If you have partial paralysis or some
other severe nervous disorder, do you
think it is better to be treated by
some one who insists that you are incur
able, or to take treatment that grateful
patients throughout the United States
testify has cured them?
A recent case where cure was effect
ed was that of Mr.. Charles H. Gilden of
Portland, Ionia Co., Mich. Mr.. Gilden
is veteran of the civil war, and fought
with the Eighth New York Heavy Artil-
lery. The story of his affliction told in
his own words is as follows:
elm 1898 I was attacked with terrible
twitching sensations and numbness all
over my body, which my physician said
was paralysis and which he attributed
to bullet wound received during the
war.
81 seemed to be getting paralyzed all
over and finally could hardly walk. My
eyes became weak and l had to get
stronger glasses. 1 could not move the
lid of one of my eyes and my face and
mouth were drawn over to the right side
to such an extent That could not speak
distinctly. L was also troubled with
palpitation Of the heart.
I'm the fall of 1898 after having been
under the treatment of several doctors
and having tried electricity without
help, bought six boxes of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and got some relief After
taking six boxes more, could stand a
hard days tramp and another six boxes
cured me-"
This case, like numerous others, bears
witness to the wonderful curative prop.
critics of DR.. Williams Pink Pills in
nervous disorders.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure general
and nervous debility because they make
new blood. They strike at the root of
these and other blood diseases, such as
rheumatism, an9mia, indigestion and
nervous troubles, such as neuralgia, ner.
vousness and spinal weakness.

Picture and Frame.

"The function that the framing of s
picture should subserve and the char
acter which it consequently should
have are so obvious that seemingly
they ought not to be so easily and SO
often lost to view. as in reality they
are says Frederick W. Coburn i'll the
International Studio. a pictorial COM
position should, of course, be inclosed
by frame of such Il sort that its at
Effectiveness Will be enhanced and that
an agreeable transition will be estab-
lished between it and its surroundings.
Although the frame may in and for it
self be beautiful, its beauty must be
kept distinctly subservient to the aes-
thetc value of the picture. In no event
may it be positively ugly. If machine
construction is necessarily involved.
this must ut least be made as unobjec.
tionable as possible. However, the
frame should be produced in strict ac-
cordance with handicraft methods"

New York Organizer Gives Some Prae

tcal Suggestions.
John N. Stowe, a special deputy of
the New York state grange, gives
some sensible suggestions about or
ganizing new oranges. He says that
it is not best to call a meeting until at
least thirteen of the prospective mem
bers fees are paid. Twenty or thirty
charter members make a good number
to start with. At the first meeting
when all who intend to become mem
bers have signed the application list
and have paid their dues, those not
desiring to join should be requested to
retire from the room. The ballots
should then be taken on those names
which were ON the list prior to the
meeting to ascertain if they are willing
to affiliate with each other; then bal
lot singly on the names presented at
the meeting. and if any ballot il IN
favorable return the fees to the appli-
cant and allow him to retire. Induce
ments in respect to grange stores, trade
discounts, cooperative purchasing, etc,
should not be held out for persons to
JOIN the grange. 1ney are likely W
Overestimate these advantages Il be-
lieve," said Mr.. Stowe that the
grange that is organized for education
al purposes first and cooperation aft
er will accomplish the greatest good"
Let great stress he placed on the first
object of our Order-namely, to de-
velop a higher manhood and woman
hood. The obligation should be made
very impressive. 1t should be regard
ed as a sacred thing and should be ad-
ministered and assumed with the i'll
tention that it is to be sacredly kept
Anything short of this is not an OBJ
liga ton. The duty of each officer
should then be explained, and then
proceed to the election of the officers
and instruction in the unwritten work
Installation may take place at this
meeting If there is time. After the
officers are installed they should be as
sisted in opening the grange in due
form, and so far as possible assistance
and instruction should be given in
the different degrees; then proceed
with the instructions for the closing
ceremony

GRANGE FOR GOOD ROADS.
A Purely Grange Road Bill Now Before
the New York State Legislature.


The New York state grange legisla-
tive committee has had new bill pre-
pared amending the Fuller-Plank law,
so that poorer towns will receive lar
ger share of state aid and grading the
towns according to the average as
sessed valuation per mile Of road rath-
er than the valuation per town. In its
grading Of towns for state aid under
the money system the grange bill uses
the assessed valuation as equalized by
both the board of supervisors and the
board Of equalization.
There were numerous good road
bills before the legislature, but none
of them took account of the inequali-
ties that appeared in the working of
the old law. The grange bill proposes
to give towns with a valuation of less
than 5000 per mile a 100 per cent adj
dition to that which they raise them
selves; those between 5000 and 81 900
valuation, 80 per cent; between 1000
and $4,000, so per cent; between $4,000
and $1,000, 10 per cent, and between
Limitation is fixed for towns with
$4,000 per mile valuation not to ex-
coed $25 per mile annually, and towns
with a mileage valuation exceeding
$4,000 will not be permitted to draw
more than one-tenth Of l per cent of
their total valuation. This is purely
grange good roads bill.

Secure half a dozen barrel heads for
