BRYAN AS PROPHET
FAILS TO QUALIFY
Disasters He ForetoId Never Come
to Pass.
OPPOSITE IS ALWAYS TRUE.
Gold Standard Does Not Stay, Nor
Does It Write Future In Blood.

As prophet william Jennings Bry-
an has never been success. The ca
lamities which he has foretold would
have brought unlimited disaster to the
country If they had ever been realized.
But they never came to pass. The har-
yowing pictures which he painted were
merely Pigments of his imagination
based on absolutely no foundation
whatever.
1t is well to have Americans remem-
her that prophecies uttered by the ora
tor Of the Platte must be discounted
fully 100 per cent, for all signs indi-
cate that he feels the fates once more
and is about to begin prophesyinS
cgain A male Cassandra, Mr. Bryan
might by this time have learned that
the forecast of evil will never be be-
lievcd by those who have found that
in the past his vaccinations have BEEN
but empty air.
Driving Country to Ruin"
For instance. when Mr.. Bryan was

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received SO many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia T..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health By Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any womanany day may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia

Pccsns and Cotton.

Did yol ever stop to think, when
planting your cotton crop year after
year, says Aubrey Frink, OF Mac
cloney, Fla il Cotton Journal. ehak
your land was simply giving you one
crop annually. and that ii was not
increasing in value to you. and that
week hard as you might, you were At
best getting only a small remunera-
ton for your work? Have YOU ney-
er wondered how you could make prac-
tically the same crop on the land
and at ,he same time, by expending
a small additional amount. YOU could
have Your land increase from year
to year in value and within a few
years be producing for you yearly a
better return than you could possibly
get out of your cotton
Have you ever considered painting
pecan trees Of some of the faer yari-
cites in your cotton field and work
ing them along with your cotton crop.
getting jus about as much per acre.
and practically making your pecan
orchard free of expense. save the first
cost OF the trees and the planting Of
them?
Pecan trees should be set 50 to so
feet apart each way, and this would
mean only l. of Is pecan trees per
acre. These trees can be bought from
90 cents TO 81 per tree. according to
size, and this would be the only ex-
peEse until your trees We're large
enough TO require some attention in
the way of fertilization for nuts
when they would soon be producing
enough mats to be worth more than
the whole acre OF cotton.
Some of the best varieties are YAH
deman. Stuart, Sehley, etc, and it IS
always desirable to use budded or
grated trees. for the trouble and ex
pense of working the trees over from
seedlings is much more than the diff
ference between Seeding and budded
or grated trees, as sold by nursery
men
There is a good market for the finer
pecan nuts, and prospects are that
it will be many years before there
is really a supply of them. They now
sell in market from 10 cents per pound
for the poorest grades of nuts up to
80 cents 40 81 per pound for the fin
er kinds. And a tree. when in full
bearing which generally requires
eight to ten years, will produce sey-
eral hundred pounds of nuts annual
Ia. Think this matter over. and see
if YOU won't come out considerably
ahead by setting sobe budded or
grated pecans the coming winter In
your cotton fields.

worked, too-till Il that night. In
the morning, however, he had the
pleasure of seeing 40 quart jars and
Is half-gallon jars of solid packed ber-
ries on the kitchen floor. The fruits
cost 81: the rubbers-the best ones
we could find-cost &C DOZEN co
cents, and the fire about 25 cents; the
jars are Mason's, and We use them
year after year. so you see, outside
of our labor we are out SI.S5 for 50
quarts of the best and most solid
packed berries you ever saw. This
makes the price a little less than 10
cents, and we have paid 90 cents for
the tins containing about half the
fruit that is in one of our jars. All
the apparatus we used was a great
big granite dishpan and large, strong
basting spoon Heat the berries till
they get to boiling good and then put
them quickly into the jar with the
spoon, then get your rubber top ON

all there is to it, except to put the
jars in a cool place somewhere till
