pounds of butter year from each

of the herd. but the lowest limit for
each individual cow As rapidly as
the cows failed TO reach this mark
they were sold and replaced with
better ones.
Calves from the best cows were
kept for members OF the herd, and
thoroughly tested after they came In
milk, to be retained or rejected ac-
cording to the test they showed.
In the course OF time the 200

Hughey Jennings rose to fame as

Stallings was once catcher of re-
nown, but he was. He caught in
California more than twenty years
ago. played in several minor leagues
and had season in the fast company
along about 1890. Taking to the
managerial work later ON, he has
been in and out of the fast company
a couple of times. but now seems
destined to stick awhile. as he has
shown better work in plotting the
Highlanders than when he was at De-
troit.
Jack O'Connor for many years was
one of the greatest of the catchers.
While his fame was not sounded as
loudly as that of Ewing, Kelly and
Bennett, old pitchers declare that he
never had a superior in the inside re-
quirements of the catching job, and
that as jollier. a CHEEKY helper of

Pretty neat bunch of managers,

A NOVELTY IN PRESERVES
Makes Money for Both Grocer
and Herself.

Making jellies, preserves and canned
goods is one OF the standard occupa-
tions for women OF the present day.
but one woman has made so business
like and profitable an arrangement
with regard to her source OF supply OF
fruits that she deserves mention
among those who have developed an
original idea. She arranged with her
grocer to take all his fruit which was
not sold during the day. to make II up
Into canned goods. preserves or cor
dials. and to place II with him for sale.
She proved to him that her goods
were first class in every particular.
and he was glad to add them to his
stock. He also found that he had an
added advantage I'm the perfect fresh.

from perishable goods of this nature.
since II is impossible for him to esti-
mate exactly how many boxes OF Der.

he can sell. Under such an arrange
ment this loss was eliminated.
There are many women who could
put up fruit successfully. who have
not seen how they could secure the
supply they needed while living I'm the

may help to solve their problem.

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read this
Advice and the Generous
Offer that Goes With

The number of diseases peculiar
to women is such that we believe
this space would hardly contain a
mere mention of them, and it is
fact that most of these diseases
are of catarrhal nature. A wo-
man cannot be well if there is a
trace of catarrh in her system.
Some women think that there is
no help for them. We positively
declare this to be a mistaken idea.
We are so sure of this that we
offer to supply medicine absolutely
free of all cost in every instance
where it fails tc give satisfaction,
or does not substantiate our claims.
With this understanding, no wo-
man should hesitate to believe our
honesty of purpose, or hesitate to
put our claims to a test.
There is only one way to over
come catarrh. That way is through
the blood. You may use all the
snuffs, douches or like remedies
for years without getting more
than temporary relief at best.
Catarrh in general is a diseased
condition of the system that shows
locally most frequently in dischar-
ges frem mucuous membranes. Lo-
col treatment should be assisted by
internal treatment for the general
diseased condition if a complete
cure is to be reached, That inter-
nal treatment should be scientific
ally devised and faithfully anmin.
