The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrb Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a consti-
tutional disease, requires a cons IT,
tutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers that they offer

that it fails to cure. Send for list

Kern Kept His Promise

A good story is told by Jonathan
Johnson, Of Clay township, and a
candidate for commissioner on the
Prohibition ticket, concerning j ohm
w. Kern, the Democratic nominee
for vice president. When the Incl
dent happened Mr.. Kern and Mr..
Johnson were residents of Koko-
mo, the latter member of the city
council, and Mr.. Kern candidate
for city attorney. The council had
ballotted number of times with
out result. Mr.. Kern was very
anxious to be elected and approach
ing Mr.. Johnson, be said;
II understand, Mr.. Johnson,
that you have been voting for me" !"
"No" replied Johnson, II am "a
Prohibitionist, and have been sup
porting the other man."
"Well," replied Kern, "lf l am
elected l will fill the Office to the
best OF my ability, and if you will
vote for me and | am elected l will
write out my resignation and leave
it with you to hold, and if l am
intemperate, or cater to the Ii
quor element, you being my
judge, may then act on my resig
nation"
Mr.. Johnson replied: swell,
Mr.. Kern, under those conditions,
/ will vote for you"
When the next ballot was taken
Mr.. Kern was elected, and Mr..
johnson says Mr. Kern never gave
him cause to file the resignation,
and he never regretted changing
his vote for John w. Kern.-No.

Cut Ont the RObber Cows

The establishing of test accommoda-

cows from their herds and help them
to get better COWS and make half the

age COWS on the farms of Wisconsin
are now doing.
We must weed out tie robber cows
and the only way to do that is through
the use of the milk scale and that sure
and unerring detective, the Babcock
tester. l doubt If there is more than
one farmer in twenty that knows the
amount of butter fat each COW IN the
herd is producing every year
Every farmer should have a milk
scale hanging in the barn, and by the
side of this a milk sheet with names
or numbers of COWS, enabling him TO
keep daily record of each animal

how he sold the best grade of rice In

HE did have both the bulk and

package of a recognized brand at len
cents. On reaching home 1 weighed
both. The bulk, poured into the scales,
weighed an ounce less than a pound.
