For quarter of century Cottolene
has been growing steadily in favor. 1t

''iust as good as other shortening and

and better than anything else that you
can use for shortening or frying. Insist

of that sort, gamples, and after few
years of philanthropic repentance,
ends up happily in marrying the one
she loves best!
This seems too good fate for the
naughty heroine "It's all very well
to say we have to wait long time for
that punishment; whereas we are pun
ished for our virtues-here, right now,"
observes the cypic drearily.
The woman who marries for money,
however, in real life almost always
gets everything that is coming to her.
For money as the sole basis to a life
of welded bliss defeats its own end
and, instead of bringing a whirlwind
of happiness and earthly delights,
brings the proverbial whirlwind of sor
row and regret all the more keen be

DIFFICULTIES CON
FRONTING FARMERS

The chief difficulties confronting
American farmers, the Secretary OF
agriculture David f. Houston, points
cut in his annual report, are these
T. Lack of familiarity with, and
remoteness from the actual machin-
ery OF distribution and finance
2. Absence Of order or system in
the conduct Of tae;r own business
transactions
3. lnadequacy of storage facilities
for their products.
1. Ignorance Of what their pro
ducts really are in the terms Of mar
bet phraseology, as well as Of what
they are worth
"A producer Of manufactured ar
ticle knows what it is and what it
costs" Mr. Houston SAYS. "He
knows this better than the buyer. The
reverse is true in agriculture.

4 Man Win 4 Lame Back

he had suffered with lumbago,
and had been compelled to give
up work. The man was damned with
too many friends, and every friend
had remedy which the poor fellow
had to try in order TO keep peace in
the community. Among other things
he tried three kinds Of plasters two
kinds of kidney cure" electricity,
Turkish baths. aspirin, chiropractic
adjustment, and a blister But the
back remained about the same.
Finally some one had a brilliant
thought. Why not 90 down and see

Sure enough. The patient called
on the doctor-after six weeks Of
misery
The doctor ordered him to strip
off every stitch of clothing. That
was good beginning.
The spine was not tender. There
was no muscle spasm. Seated in a
chair the patient could easily bend
forward. so that Tie spinal yerte-
brae were probably not infamed.
With his knees stin me could bend
forward and touch the floor with his
fingertips, showing that the sacro-

cause there was absolutely no tender
ness to pressure along the course of
the sciatic nerve.
