NO GuSHER
But Tells Facts About Postum.

We have used Postum for the past eight years" writes Wis. lady, and drink it three times a day We never tire of it.
 For several years I could scarcely eat anything on account of dyspepsia, bloating after meals, palpitation, sick headache-in fact was in such misery and distress tried living on hot water and toast for nearly year.
 T had quit coffee, the cause of my trouble. and was using hot water, but this was not nourishing.
 Hearing of Postum I began drink. ing it and my ailments disappeared, and now l can eat anything I want without trouble.
 My parents and husband had about the same experience. Mother would often suffer after eating, while yet drinking coffee. My husband was a great coffee thinker and suffered from Indigestion and headache.
 After he stopped coffee and began Postum both ailments left him. He will not drink anything else now and we have it three times day. I could write more but am no gusher-only state plain facts.'

The National Meetinq.

The national convention of the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America, held in Fort Wortf recently, showed the organization tt be in excellent condition and capa ble of doing effective work in the in terest of the farmers during the com ing marketing season.
 With the spread of the Union tc grain, tobacco and fruit growing states, the work has naturally divided itself into different departments and the committees representing them have outlined plans for handling these various product which will, no doubt prove advantageous.
 The system for marketing cotton seems 10 have been advanced material ly and with the cooperation of the membership the way is being opened for direct sales to the mills, which has been the desire of many members for sometime past.
 Partisan politics had no place in the convention and yet it was evident that the farmers now realize that much in jury has been done them by the na- tionaI and state law making bodies and that these injuries must be re- medied. This, however, is recommend ed by direct appeals to the congress and legislatures and not through tn endorsement of any political party
 All in all, the national meeting has added strength to the Farmers Union moTe--@-

SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
First Had Itching Rash-Threatened Later With BloodPoison in Leg
 Relied on Cutcura Remedies.

About twelve or fifteen years ago I had a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint. ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with a pain in my side. Treat. ment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F. Hennen, Milan, Mo-, May 19, 1907."

On His Farm or Forty Acres.

When man has reared family Of fourteen children on a farm of forty acres-giving each and every young. ster a good education. comfortable home until manhood or womaRhood is reached, and finally substantial start in life-it's a big boost for acre farming. This was accomplished by c. Y. Trice, who died a few days ago in Kansas City at the home of his son, c. Y. Trice, Jr., 436 Prospect avenue. At the time of his death he was S7 years old.
 MT. Trice came to Missouri from Kentucky in 1850 and bought 40-acre farm near Cameron, hfty-fve miles northeast of Kansas City. He had q wife and six children. Eight more came in after years.
 After MT Trice paid for his farm at $2 an acre he had left only his wagon and OK team. He possessed no other capital. The soil, he determined, must yield the family a living, and he DCSdiI el Sy SJtllettlC SCItlitIlC Sul- tivation of the land.
 He planted even the fence corners; there was no room for weeds. A cookie burr didn't have a change to go to seed. As soon as one crop was harvested the soil was prepared inn mediately for another. Some of the land was made to yield two or three crops a year.
 Under a fathers management that forty acres yielded our large family good living" C. Y. Trice. Jr., said re gently "It was our only source of revenue and it was sufficient, but father knew how to farm. He was al- most half a century ahead of his time with his farming methods that ex- rlained his success.

A Contemptible Character.

The most contemptible character which the Farmers Union meets to- day is the farmer who taunts the member of the Union for not selling his cotton at F cents, as MT. Wise acre, did. Ungrateful and ignorant wretchi If members of the Farm CTS Union had dumped their cotton on the market when these robbers of their brothers were doing it, the prices of cotton would have reached eight cents months ago and would be sell ing today at five and six cents. In stead of being honored for their self sacrifice by the their non-union neigh bors, as they should be, their self-sac- rifice has been coined into money by taking advantage of the good market
 made by the holding movement. II
 Is like drowning man, who has been rescued by friend, jeering that friend because he did not have sense enough to remain on land and take care of his health. It is like man whose property and loved ones have been saved by the sacrifice of another ridi. culing the friend for not having iudg- ment to take care of himself. Even the cotton buyers and spectators ad- init that the holding movement saved
 cotton from dropping to the lowest prices eyer recorded This is the uni versal verdict of the business world. Imagine, then, the contempt in which the business man and cotton buyer must secretly hold the farmer who is so ungrateful and so selfish as to reap the benefits of another's efforts and then upbraid him for his unselfsl

A Nevada man having extensive mining claims in the goldfield region tells of lucky strike that was made last year near Carson City, a strike that proved to be of such promise that a goodly sized camp immediately sprang up around it.
