From the National Magazine.
A story Is told Of a Frenchman who was
very anxious to see an American businosg
man at his nome The first morning when
he called at the house the maid replied
to his query:
1.-THE master Is not down yet" meaning
downstairs.
Thu following morning he called again,
and was met with:
THE master is not up yet,'' meaning
that he had not yet arisen from his bed.
The Frenchman, looking at her with
doubtful eye, paused for a few seconds.
Feet ees very deef'cult, but eef no
mademoiselle will tell me when re mas
ter will be neither up nor down, but In
re middle, zen l will call at Eat time"

A touring car taste with a bicycle

Mrs. Besant insists that the thirst
for liquor continues after death. Now
1t is plain why some people initiate the

The editor of the JeffersOnian saw the
above clipping from the Inter Ocean and
wanted to know of this new formula for
curing kidney trouble.
ARRANGEMENTS were then made by
which Dr. IIynott offers the JeffersOnian
readers a tree treatment DR.. Lynott
however, says that he proposes to give the
free treatment only for limited time 10
convince the public in every part OF the
United States of the positive wonderful
efficacy Of his treatment.
Furthermore, DR.. Lynott wants to make
it clear that he has no "cure-all:', He is
a specialist in kidney and bladder dis
eases and rheumatism so please 90 not
write to him unless you have one OF these
diseases. If you write at once, both the
medical advice and the medicine are en-
tirely free.
The editor of this paper, the Jefferson
ian, feels that with such a free offer, any
body who stays sick with kidney trouble
or rheumatism deserves to be sick
[ know that q good many free offers
have been advertised where the pubic
had to send money, but this free offer
really is A FREE OFFER. And remem-
Der that instead of getting an ordinary
physician, you get the medical advice free
direct from Americas greatest of all spe-
cialsts on these diseases. See Free Treat
ment Certificate at bottom of this page
and get relief right now.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-11-18

Writing of DR.. T. Frank LynOtt, who
gives the medical advice free, brother
specialist writes as follows:
II have for years been considered an
authority on urinary diseases; but [
must confess my respect, my profound
sense Of esteem, for DR.. Lynott, whose
wonderful success in treating urinary
diseases has surprised us all Dr. Ly-
markable free offer-the most genuine
and generous offer ever made by
high grade physician. 1t seems to me
the medical world ought not to be
jealous of his success, but should praise
him, for what he has done and is doing
for humanity"

less Delta county. Money is here
for any man who tolls. All parts
of the county is fruitful in the har-
vest of good things. During the
past year Delta county shipped
twice as much fruit as any other
county Of Colorado. and this years
output will be far in excess of any
previous one. Shipping records
are undisputed facts in telling the
tale. Statistics show that fruit
growing is on the decline in the
eastern states. but is rapidly in
creasing throughout the Rocky
mountain states, particularly in
Colorado. Mountain fruit has
proven to be superior both in
flavor and color to that grown
elsewhere. There are reasons for
this-the higher altitude, pure
clear air, cool nights and abund-
ance of sunshine.
Delta county, according to the
lowest conservative estimate, will
the coming season move over FIVE
thousand cars of fruit destined to
the far East and South, six thou
sand cars of sugar beets; two
thousand cars of potatoes. three
thousand cars of other agricul-
tural products, twenty-five thou
sand cars of coal. two hundred cars
of cattle and sheep. More labor
and more capital is required now
TO do full justice to the best
county in one of the best states
of the Union. The cry of Delta
county is for more people. 1t

all that may come prosperous and
happy.

pie here that have already reaped
