FARMERS COMMON SENSE.

We farmers need more corporations. not fewer We need well managed CO operative companies through which we can buy together and sell together. We know that we have got to work out our own salvation along these lines-that no one else will do it for us We have learned anew to rely upon ourselves and not upon the high. faluting yawp of politicians and graft CTS whose only object is to farm the farmers.
 We are death on unjust extortion, special privileges and wildcat finan- cling; but we support Legitimate busi- ness, uphold honest labor. favor well managed capital We oppose railroad favorltism. but we approve railroad development We want good trans portation service and are willing to pay fair price for 1t.
 We are not anarchists, nor extrem- ists. We recognize the real rights of labor and capital; we favor their proper use, not their abuse. We real ize that humanity is not perfect, and that we must all work together for still better things. Tn a word, We farmers are sensible American cit zens, mindful of others rights, as well as of oru own And don't you for get it."-Farm and Preside.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the coffee habit and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such bad condi- tion that he was compelled to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work, His skin was yellow. and l hardly think there was an organ in his body that was not affected.
 T told him felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some dis cussion he decided to give it up.
 Tt was a struggle because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try 1t, and then it was easy to leave off coffee
 His fearful headaches grew less frequent. his complexion began to clear. kidneys grew better until at last he was a new man altogether. as a result of leaving off coffee and talk ing up Pc nm. Then l began to drink it, too.
 Although I was never as bad off as my husband, 1 was always very nervous and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before l began to use Postum. Now l weigh 115 lbs. and can do as much work as anyone my size. think.
 Many do not use Postum because they have not taken the trouble to make it right. 1 have successfully fooled great many persons who have drunk it at my table. They would remark. You must buy high grade of coffee One young man who clerked in a grocery store was very enthusias- tic about my coffee When I told him what it was, he said, why I've sold Postum for four years but l had no idea it was like this.

ENDED THE BIBLE READING,
Beginner Resented wite's Enjoyment
 of Ills Mistake.

A Kansas City man, who had fol- lowed stock quotations. football scores and race form sheets more closely than he had religious and literary mat ters, recently was persuaded by his wisa to read aloud each evening from the old Testament to improve the knowledge of both on Biblical matters. The man became interested in the story of the scriptures and read aloud several evenings with great gusto and pleasure. One night as he was swing ing along he read: And they horse whipped the beasts
 Hold oni" exclaimed his wife. What was that?"
 They horsewhipped the beasts, he repeated, and continued reading. His wife got up from her sewing. crossed the room, looked over his shoulder and read:
 They worshiped the beasts
 There" she said, "I knew the word horsewhipped was not in the Bible. Hei He!"
 The man closed the Bible with a snap. clasped the snap, and that con- cluded the readings for all time.

DOCTOR SAID USE cUTIcURA"
In Bad Case of Eczema on Child Disease Had Reached Fearful State-His Order Resulted
 in Complete Cure.

When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my head. It reached such a state that it was just a large scab all over, and the pain and itching were terrible. I doctored with an able physician for some time and was then advised by him to use the Cuticura Remedies which 1 did and 1 was en- tirely cured I have not been bothered with it since I used Cutieura Soap and Cuticura Ointment but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. I can safely say that Cuticura did lot for me. Miss Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich, Oct 20. 1907."

When we speak of the farmer and the merchant as being business enc mics we ont mean that they are nec- essarily at enmity with each other as persons. We mean that the law of self-interest puts them in opposition to each other in matters of trade. The merchant must buy what the farmer has to sell. and the cheaper he buys it the more he has left after buying it. The farmer must buy the things that the merchant has to sell. and the cheaper he buys them the prouder he is when he gets home and his wife, while unwrapping the bundles asks, What did you give for this?" and What was the price of that ?'-Farm Journal.

 A BURDEN TO ME.

MISS ANNIE CATRoN, 997 Main 1vA St., Cincinnati. Ohio. writes:
 .As l have found Peruna Il blessing for severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which suffered from for a number of years, am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement.
 .'Catarrh, such as l suffered from, made life burden to me, my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up so that l was usually troubled with headache, and although tried many so-called remedies, noth- Ing gave me permanent relief. 1 was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was suggested to me.
 "However, did buy bottle, and be- fore that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until I was com- pfefeiy cured in q months time, and find that my general health is also ex- cellent."
