How This
Michigan Man
Cured His
Rheumatism

Mr.. Henry Schroepp-l. prosperous
farmer, Of st. Clair, Mich, was entirely
cured Of severe case Of rheumatism
after being confined 10 bed for several
weeks He says:
After five or six weeks OF helpless in
activity and pain, during which was
receiving visits at regular intervals from
the doctor, felt as bad as ever and
almost despaired OF ever being well
again. About this time my mother, an
old lady of eighty years, visited me and
earnestly entreated me TO try DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for my ailment. She
declared that she had received great
benefit from their use in Kidding herself
of rheumatic pains even at her advanced
age, and she was confident they. would
help me- At her solicitation / gave up
the Doctor treatment, reluctantly. how
ever, and member of the family was
sent to the nearest drug store for q sup
ply of the pills.
Before had used many boxes felt
a great Improvement and within two
weeks was able not only to leave my
bed but TO commence the spring work
on my farm which had so long been
neglected. / continued 10 use the pills,
however, until eight boxes had been
taken, although long before that felt
that every symptom of the disease had
been eradicated from my system"

ried TO Q powerful King. Soon after
the Goddess of Envy once more trou-
bled her life.
Prince stole her and carried her
away To the six gated city. The King
fought for 10 years until the city was
taken, and he brought his wife home
once more.
During all the time the war lasted
there was not found one man who was
willing to seek her heart and to find
il.
The years went by, the King died:
the Queen journeyed everywhere. Men
fought and died for glimpse Of her
marvellous beauty. She left behind
her strife and sorrow.
Finally she returned home. Her
fame brought her neither Joy nor sor-
row.
One day harp player made music
so ravlshing that all who heard him
wept save the queen. But her smile
filled him with such worship that he
resolved to rest no more until he had
found her heart.
He sought for years. At last one
day he found a little blue bird in a
trap and he set II free, and in return
the bird promised him that he should
find the Queens heart. All he had to
do was to go and seek the Queens
palace.
The harper went back and found
the Queen had grown old. But she
smiled on him, and he knelt down be-
fore her. At the moment her heart
was given back TO her
The harper lived in the palace and
played to the queen till he died.

The thoughtful woman would try TO

It must be a source of pride to the
farmers of the Pacific northwest and
especially SO to the Nezperce farmer
who is a member of the Farmers
Educational & Cooperative Union
to know that this organization has
grown the most rapidly and has &C
complished the most since its organ
ization of any similar body that
has ever been organized. Yet the
best of it all is. that the Nezperce
local leads all in membership,
wealth, and in the amount Of good il
has accomplished. according to a re-
port by state organizer A. A. e.
more. of Washington. Who has jus,
gathered and published a lot of sta
tistics for the locals of the Pacific
northwest in the Pacific Farmers
Union. the Official paper published
At Pullman. This report shows that
out of a total of thirty-two locals
taken as an average the amount of
wealth owned by the members of
the Nezperce local is FIVE times as
great as the average and more than
double any other local. This re-
port shows the combined wealth Of
this one to be 81 .s17. 900 and that
they own rs. 800 acres of land. But
this is not all this report shows nor
the most important part. While
these same Nezperce farmers own
more land than any other local c
yet the waterville local in
Washington reports owning 2s,4o0
acres OF only 400 less than the Nez-
perc local and their wealth Is report
ed at $500 900, or less than one
half. There is not a local reported
that shows the wealth Of the farmers
to be as great as here, thus proving
from statistics gathered by an out
side party that this is the wealthiest
farming section in comparison to its
area of the entire Pacific northwest.
This explains better than any
,ther evidence that could be gather
ID Why nearly every farmer who

,th.r point to better himself fnanci-
ally, returns with the same report:
Il never saw any country that locks
