HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?

Simple Prescription Said to Work
Wonders for rheumatism.
This has been well known to the best
doctors for years and is now given to
the public. Get one ounce of syrup of
Sarsaparilla compound and one ounce
Toris compound. Then get half pint
of good whiskey and put the other two
ingredients into it. Take a tablespoon
full of this mixture before each meal
and at bed time. Shake the bottle
before using" Good effects are felt
the first day. Many of the worst cases
here have been cured by this. Any
druggist has these ingredients on hand
or will quickly get them from his
wholesale house.

slip into place when the bar is low
cred, says Orange Judd Farmer. The
bottom end of the bar also slips into
notch in the sill of the doorway so
that the doors are fastened in four
places by the one movement of the
bar. The bar may be of wood or
iron, as desired, preferably wood be-
cause of its lightness. If iron is used
one-fourth by IL inches will be heavy
enough. The length will, of course,
depend upon the height of the door.

A SKELETON
ONCE ON A TIME
Now Mrs. l. A. Decker Of Clyde,
Ky, Says She is Well and
Happy, Through Taking
Cardui.

Clyde, KY can safely recommend
Cardui, the woman's tonic, to any lady
who is in need of medicine" writes
Mrs. /. A. Decker, of this place.
ut has been very beneficial to me
and can say that there is nothing
like it for weak women.
For five years was not able to do
my work. Half of my time I spent in
bed. suffered with female weakness
and took such nervous spells I could
not stand on my feet. suffered with
my back and side, and fell off till be-
came skeleton.
"At last took Cardui and now am
well and happy and can do my own
work"
Cardui is prepared from the natural
plant, not from mineral, synthetic COM
pounds, and contains no coal tar prod
ucts or other results of laboratory ex-
reriments. O.
The Cardui ingredients are imported
at great expense directly from abroad
and have been used for nearly half a
century in the manufacture of this ia
nous tonic medicine for women.
Safe, reliable, prompt, yet gentle in
action, by preventing unnecessary
pain and building up strength, Cardui
has shown itself a necessary remedy
for weak women. Try it.

Demand for Poultry.

A few years ago, when the price of
eggs and poultry began to soar up
ward, it was freely predicted that the
limit would soon be reached, but such
has not been the case. The demand
still far exceeds the supply and each
years prices far surpass those of the
preceding year. Each advance in price
seems we can safely say that the con-
sumption of poultry and eggs today is
almost double that of 20 years ago.

Don't Stuff the Hog.

A hog fattens more quickly by being
fed no more at any time than it will
eat. When 1t is fed, clean out the
trough and do not feed again until
the animal shows plainly that it is
hungry. If overfed so that it feeds in
differently it will lose weight; to per-
NIT it to go without food day will
do it less harm than by continuing to
feed beyond it's appetite. Probably
no other animal is so sensitive to in.
