Fresh Eggs in Winter

The poultryman who can supply
fresh eggs in winter when prices are
high. has tremendous advantage
over the one who through ignorance or
neglect has to wait until summer,
when the supply is large and the price
low Not everyone can DO this and
no one can do It unless he takes prop
er care of his fowls and gives them
food containing the essential egg pro.
ducing ingredients which, when run
ming at large, the hens can supply
themselves to large extent in sum
mer. There is no material better fit
ted for this purpose than Pages Per
fected Poultry Food" George F. Tan
ner Of Springfield, VT, has used and
sold this food for many years and he
speaks from experience when he says.
In a recent letter, For several years
have sold and used Pages Perfect
ed Poultry Food and do not hesitate
to say that think It is one OF the best
foods on the market to make hens lay.

KIDNEY CASES
IN BENNING ON

The famed DR.. LOOMS of Bellevue
hospital has declared that his autop-
sizes show that nine-tenths Of men and
women over forty years Of age have
kidney disease and as probably one
tenth of the people OF Bennington are
over forty thus nine-tenths of those
would mean many hundreds. But If
Dr. LOOMS statement is only partly
correct It would show the astonishing
prevalence OF kidney disease An
other and important fact is that kid
ney trouble is not only durable but
commonly gets well OF itself the first
few weeks. But IL IL has been hang.
ing on and become chronic Il is then
considered fatal, and that Il has been
so is shown by the census deaths from
kidney troubles-now over $4,000 an.
nually. This fr'ghtful annual death
list also shows the futility OF the
scores of medicines that claim to cure
kidney trouble. While many of them
are possibly helpful during the first
few weeks OF the curative stage there
is only one thing known that gets re-.
covery In the chronic or supposed ia.
tai stage aud We sent for Il In the in
terest OF people here. Il has a proven
efficiency In just this class In nearly
nine-tenths Of all cases. and limits the
cases cited solely to the supposed in
durable forms. AS Il is impossible to

COTTON BUYERS ASSOCIATION,


The Southwestern Cotton Buy

the following letter:
Replies from our correspon-
dents under date Of Nov. so, in
dictate a total crop for Texas
for the season of 1908-6S at 81
100000 bales. Our estimate OF
last seasons crop, published
Nov. 20; 1907 was 2,350,OOO
bales.
"The rapid gathering, gin
ming and marketing of the sea-
sons crop has been on an I'M
precedented scale. The stocks
held by merchants and farmers
are'the highest in many years,
and at no time has there been
any general inclination to hold.
On the contrary, the tendency
to sell freely has been so pro-
nounced that the movement has
led many people to largely over

to doing all Ise can during the

company to Publish a list of the

individual or "a private firm, a
publication of the names of all

standing at khe mast head of

After the Empire was divid-
ed, and half the power was di-
vested in the Emperor of Can
stantinople, the western part
went rapidly on it's way to ruin.
The end of the third century
saw the Barbarians pressing
over the borders Of the empire
wherever the weakness of the.
defenders permitted. At this
tim too the last traces of the
republic had disappeared and
the Emperors were supreme.
There was but one power in the
state and that was the Emperor.
This despotism was hedged
about with all manner of east
ern pomp and majesty of mon
archy. The final adoption of

of the period bewail the signs

of economic ruin were the de-

the old order OF things had

barians who had settled in the
empire rallied and helped to
drive Atilla from Italy. The
death of the emperor and of
Atilla allowed room for all man
ner of confusion, so that in less
than twenty years the Imperial
city yielded her treasures to
Gaiseric the Barbarian.
This mingling of the two ma
tions made possible the Romano
Germanic civilization, it gave a
new impetus to the growth of
distinct states and nationalities,
and finally it gave a new i'm
pulse to the influence of the
Christian Church and laid the
foundation of the power of the
bishops of Rome.
