Five Tickets In the Field.


 The ticket which the citizens of Alabama will be called upon to vote in November promises now to be one of the longest ever gotten out in the state. The outlook is that five parties will have candidates certified to the secretary of state by the time the day for closing the books comes around. The democrats, republicans. in- dependence league and socialists are in, and it Is expected that the prohipitionists will be reported later, intimation of this having been had.
 It is estimated by Cyrus Brown, chief clerk to the secretary of state, that there will be at least 125 names on the ticket to be voted in each county, including the judges, chancellors. solicitors and con gressmen, in addition to the state officers. There will also be the three constitutional amendments to be taken care of, adding that much to the difficulty of getting the wishes of the people well and properly ex- pressed It will be several days, however, before the full ticket can be made up, even tentatively.

The Farmer is on Top.

It seems to us that the cotton plant CT has about won the fight he has been making for better prices for his cotton What he needs to do is to sit steady in the boat; arrange his obligations, but Sit on the lid which holds his cotton of the market at the present prices In the last few days Ine price has ad vanced about a cent a pound; the crop is short and the demand greater than it ever has been. The manufactures has sold cloth on the basis of 15 cent cotton. What is there to keep the price from going up? Those who have been forced to sell to meet their obli gations have about all sold, and the farmer who has held, up to this time is, in most cases, in a position to holt a little longer.-Peoples Paper.

Plant Your Own Crop.

When you determine on your cotton acreage this year, you who have not yet done so, ask yourself the question whose crop you are pitching and in tend to raiSe-your own or someone else's? Make up your mind to raise nobody's cotton but your own. If you cannot put in land enough for more than five bales of cotton for yourself, put just that much in and no more, and put the balance of your land in corn and oats and something to eat. There is never day Ill the year that corn and oats will not sell and fetch good prices. Every day you can sell sweet and Irish potatoes, onions, cab bages, pumpkins, peas and poultry, eggs and butter, so see to it that you raise enough of these things for home consumption and to sell. The non- producer must eat and you ought to make your living off him, and his name is legion. Your cotton will be all cash then.-Co-Operator.

Hoq Cholera.

The greatest drawback to the hog industry which breeders in this coun- try have to contend with is what is known as "hog cholera" and swine plague"
 Hog cholera is a highly contagious disease and unless checked is liable to carry off a great number of hogs in very short time.
 Mr. A. P. Williams, of Burnetts Creek, Ind, tells of an experience which he had with some hogs that had the cholera. Five years ago." says MT. Williams, "I was in the en- ploy of MT. J. D. Richardson, Lafay- cite, Ind, as his barn foreman. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Sloan's Lini- ment and did not lose a hog. Some were so bad they would not drink sweet milk and I was compelled to drench them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and always find it o. K"

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
 Tremble.

The surgeons duties require clear judgment and a steady hand. A slip or an unnecessary incision may do ir- reparable damage to the patient.
 When he found that coffee drinking caused his hands to tremble, an Ills surgeon conscientiously gave it up and this is his story.
 For years I was a coffee thinker until my nervous system was nearly broken down, my hands trembled so could hardly write, and insomnia tor tured me at night.
 Resides, how could l safely per form operations with unsteady hands, using knives and instruments of pre- cision? When l saw plainly the bad effects of coffee, l decided to stop it, and three years ago l prepared some sample
 The first cupful surprised me. It was mild, soothing, delicious. At this time l gave some Postum to friend who was in a similar condition to mine, from the use of coffee.
 "A few days after, I met him and he was full of praise for Postum, de- claring he would never return to cof- fee but stick to Postum. We then or dered full supply and within a short time my nervousness and consequent trembling, as well as insomnia, disap- peared, blood circulation became nor nal, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
 My friend became a Postum en- thusiast, his whole family using it ex- clusiyely.
 Tt would be the fault of the one who brewed the Postum, if it did not taste good when served.
 The best food may be spoiled if not properly made. Postum should be boiled according to directions on the pkg. Then it is all right, anyone can rely on it. It ought to become the national drink" There's a Reason" !" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read The Road to Melville" in pkgs.
