A HORRIBLE

An Instance Of Brutality
In China.

1t has been stated that White Wolf,
the notorious Chinese brigand, has the
heads of his captives sawed from their
quivering bodies.
But such horrors are not more painful
than the advanced stage of kidney
trouble. And the worst feature of it is
that in 80 cases out of 100 it could have
been avoided by taking hold of it in

pain and death. If you are rundown,

to supply the demand. n 1880 1t took
three hours Of hand labor and one
hour Of animal labor to produce a
bushel Of wheat; today it takes ten
minutes of hand labor and one and
one-third hours of animal labor. In
1880 the labor to produce one bushel
cost Is cents, today it costs nine
cents. Yet farm labor Is more ex.
pensive today than yesterday. In

possible to produce cheaper and in
larger quantities.
Then we want farm machinery be.

not. That Is the principal reason.
Some machines do the work better
