Good old Farmer Wilson, secretary
Of agriculture, says the value Of the
farm crops this year is $7,412, 900, 900.
But as through Republican bad man
agement there is a difficulty In the
farmers selling these crops for cash
and the price of wheat, cotton, cat
tie and hogs is declining, there is a
great doubt of the correctness of the
amount stated. Perhaps Farmer Will
son has joined the Farmers union and
has figured on the prices that organi-
cation has agreed the crops ought to
bring-wheat 81, cotton Is cents, and
SO On.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and flneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it car be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

E. PINKHAM

Nature and q woman's work COM
|bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that tho
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
Jour grandmothers they relied upon
1.-THE roots and herbs of the field to
lcure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailnent, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
,of the world q remedy for their Pc
Iculiar ills, more potent and effica-
lcious thanany combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St..
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
"Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
lof other suffering women / am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years I had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times ]
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice
/ followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re
stored health and strength. It il
worth mountains OF gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege.
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff
it will do for other suffering women
