And lives clouded and Rre dim.
For lack of that which is all;
With those uncut leaves they folded in
And they cannot respond TO prayer or cnIi;--
And throughout life the spirit grieves

$50 acres at % bushels per acre,

and 20 acres oats yielding so bushels
per acre sold for 35 cents per bushel
30 that my total crop realized $1,000
90. From this deducted for expenses
of threshing. hired help, ETC., $400. 90,
leaving me a net profit on this years
crop of over 81 $780,
Thomas Sawatzky of Herbert, Sas-
katchewan, says:
The value of my crop per acre of
wheat is $3.50. I threshed 1,75O
bushels of wheat from 20 acres, and
was offered 80 cents a bushel for it.
Oats, Is acres, 500 bushels; and
barley, acres, 80 bushels. /

PRESCRIBED cUTlcURA
After Other Treatment Failed-Raw
Eczema on Baby's Face Had
Lasted Three Months-At Last
Doctor Found Cure.

"Our baby boy broke out with &c
zema on his face when one month old.
One place on the side of his face the
size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak
for three months, and he would cry
out when I bathed the parts that were
sore and broken out. 1 gave him
three months treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end of that time the
child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, third of
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was
well and his face was as smooth as any
baby's. He is now two years and a
half old and no eczema has reappeared.

Latest Kansas Events.
Suit AGAINST Milers Settled.

An Injunction preventing millers
from making any agreement in regard
to the prices of flour, bran, chops or
other products and the price which
the millers will pay for grain prob
ably will be entered in the district
court at Wichita. When this is done
the antitrust suit against nearly one
hundred Kansas millers will be
brought to an end. The suit was be-
gun year ago by Fred S. Jackson, at
torney general, and John s. Dawson,
his assistant After a year of htiga-
ton the millers finally agreed to the
terms of the attorney general and a
settlement has been arranged. The
millers will be enjoined from fixing
prices, but they may still retain their or
CARNATIONS and work in them along the
same lines as the bankers and grocers
and other commercial organizations
The Southern Kansas Commercial club
and the Southwestern Bureau of In
formation were organizations of mill
ers which, the attorney general con
tended, fixed the prices of grain and
mill products in Kansas. The club and

who are members of them are re
strained from doing anything that viii

And Murdoch Knows.

Someone recalled that the late Sen
ator Plumb used to declare that Kan
sas never experienced a drought in
presidential year. Thomas Benton
Murdoch corrects this statement. He
says: From September, 1859, to Oct
ober, 1860, not enough rain fell in all
Kansas to float bunch of tadpoles !;
and to our knowledge there was no
corn or anything else grown in the
state. Abraham Lincoln was elected
president in 1860, and it was not only
a presidential year, but was the only
year in the history of the state that
we have had a real drought

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear Of it's antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, it is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which aff1ict humanity
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, of a nature tt
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.

A Mind Reader,

Pat had got hurt-not much more
than scratch, it is true, but his en-
ployer had visions of being compelled
to keep him for life, and had adopted
the wise course of sending him at once
to the hospital. After the house sur
geon had examined him carefully, he
said to the nurse:
"As simultaneous abrasion is not OBJ
servable, I do not think there is any
reason to apprehend tegumental cica-
irritation of the wound"
Then, turning to the patient, he
asked, quizzically:
What do you think, Pat?''

derful thought-reader, doctor. You

storehouse SKIS feet. The pieces are
to be fastened together with screws
