Some Things You Need.

Some Of these goods are spe-
c1al, some are not, but all the
prices are. 1 will try and keep
enough of these goods on hand to
supply you all until December 1,
1908 After that I may sell the
goods here at the prices quoted or
[ may not. I don't know just yet.
On December 1 watch out for
some new bargains. But what I
am going to do then doesn't cut
any figure now, as I'm not going
to offer the same things again.
1t will be something different.
Which means, if you want
anything here you've got to get
1t the next Two weeks.

The way of an improved and more
intelligent type of farming consists in
producing just as large an amount of
homemade fertilizers on the farm each
year as possible. Several owners Of
large grain farms In North Dakota
during the past two or three years
have hit upon the plan OF attaching n
set OF gang plows to the traction en-
gines used to pull their harvesters, the
grain as fast as cut being transferred
by means Of Il carrier TO the plowed
ground on the opposite side OF the ma
chine. In this way two operations
are carried on at the same time. while
the stubble is turned under before
there is opportunity for the weeds to
mature n crop OF seed.

FROM WOMAN
POINT OF VIEW

A young woman who has passed through
nervous prostration and returned 10 health
with a better appreciation OF sound nerves
and healthy body than she had before
was one Of a group who were discussing
the many distressing cases of suicide
that have helped 70 make history in the
past month After listening to the con-
lectures Of those who were lacking IN
sick experience. she quietly remarked
II know just why they did those things
which seem so awful to you. I have
known the time when life dragged so hor-
ribly that I would have been glad 10 end

OF searching for means to end life or of

Her family physician happened TO be a
man who acts promptly. and when he
saw the state TO which her nervous sys-
TEN had been reduced he gripped the case
with a determination to save the girl.
He was some minutes in discovering what
one thing diverted her mind, but after
he knew that in watching a play at a
theater she forgot self for few hours.
he prescribed that diversion whenever she
felt morbid. II seems that even nervous
patients have good and bad days, and

I may be wholly wrong but 1 believe
that nerves need rot be as masterful as
they are. Men and women are obliged to
stand severe nervous strain at times,
but they are not the worst sufferers, IL
seems. There are nervous wrecks In So
ciety, any number of them. and women

health in the matter of clothing is too
