a FIght ior the Overland MaII,

"A Fight for the Overland Mail"
Is the title of one of Berninghaus'
most spirited pictures. Here the ar
tst has caught the true color Of the
great plateau west Of the Rockies,
Rock and sand stretch away in an
endless glare Of red and yellow,
broken only by the blue shadows on
the cliffs and the tufted, gray-green
Of the chapparal. The weary horses
strain their last strength and the
guards are using their scant supply
of ammunition to beat off the red
men or hold out until safety is
reached. VIII they win? The ques-
ton is an absorbing one
"Westward Hop
Bishop Berkeley enunciated
strange truth when he remarked.
Westward the course of empire
takes its way" For centuries civlli-
zation has been slowly spreading
around the globe from east to west.
In this picture by Bernlnghaus we
see American civilization carrying
the torch across the llmitless plains

From time immemorial the Miss

fully as possible and examine the six
sprouted kernels in each square.
THE above box when completed
and set away for termination may be
described briefly as follows: inches
of sawdust packed firmly in the bot.
tom of the box, on this is laid the
cloth ruled off in squares, then the
kernels laid in the squares, the Sec
ond cloth laid on the kernels and
dampened, then third cloth much
larger than the box, on which is
placed two inches more of sawdust,
packed firmly. The edges of the larg-
er cloth may be folded over on top of
the sawdust. Soak the sawdust at
least two hours-better over night.
Use good quality of sheeting for the
cloth that is ruled off in squares, and
also for the cloth covering the ker.
nels Do not use cheap, porous grade
of cloth, as the sprouts will grow
through it and greatly interfere with
the work
Leave two-inch margin around the
edges OF the box to prevent freezing
and drying out. Make the squares to
receive the kernels 2isx21s inches.
Never use the box more than once
without thoroughly scalding both the
sawdust and the cloths. To insure ac-
curate reading, the stem sprouts
should be at least two inches long
when examined. Throw out all ears
that show weak termination, as well
as the ears whose kernels fail to
grow

with action. No matter how tired or

room, in one minute the moving pic
ture has you in It's grasp, carrying
you from nation to nation, laughing at

A CHECK TO
RHEUMATISM
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Build Up
the Blood and Overcome
the Rheumatic Poisons.

Rheumatism defies any treatment
that does not build up and purify
the blood. The poisons of rheumatism
are in the blood and it is only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully.
Unless the blood is weak and impure,
rheumatism cannot get foothold.
When it does the thin and impure
blood is not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alone. Unjust be strength
ened and purified. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are the best blood
building medicine you can take. They
make new blood with every dose and
promptly check further progress OF the
disease. They make the blood so pure
and strong that not the least trace OF
rheumatism remains.
Mr.. A. Hamann, . farmer on r. F.
D. No. 2, Eldridge, Iowa, says:
II used DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People for indigestion and rheu-
matism from which / suffered for over
six years. AS these attacks came on
every spring, think they were caused
by impure blood. The rheumatism
was always more severe in my ankles
and knees and especially in my arms,
when had been husking corn or work
ing hard. The pains were go severe
that could hardly sleep at night. /
used hniments OF many kinds, but they
didn't do more than drive the pain to
some other part OF the body and did
not get any relief from the Doctors
medicine
"When l read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in our weekly
paper | made up my mind to try
medicine that had actually cured some
one else. A few boxes cured me and /
think SO much OF the pills that l keep
them in the house to use ns tonic. My
wife finds them strengthening and We
think the pills are the best medicine for
the blood"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are the biood's greatest aid in
overcoming rheumatism, headaches,
anamia, chlorosis, and after effects OF
the grip and fevers.
A valuable booklet, Diseases OF the
Blood" will be sent upon request.
