Pay Everything by Check.

A business farmer should pay for
everything by check. .as all other bus
mess men do. Many a farmer carries
more money in his pocket than a city
business man who has a hundred
thousand dollars. Here are three
reasons why farm business men as
we'll as town business men should
deal with banks and pay by check:
l. Carrying money on your person
is unsafe. Your money and possibly
your life is endangered by this will
full invitation to robbery and theft.
2. When you pay by check you
get the Cancelled check back and a
receipt for every single item you
have paid. There is no chance of
having to pay an account twice, your
check being the proof and the re-
ceipt.
8. When you deposit in the bank
every cent you receive from the sale
of your product, and then draw it
out by check, you are establishing a
credit with the bank. The man who
has balance with the bank on his
checking account most of the year
will have no trouble in borrowing a
couple of hundred dollars to carry
him over tight place. Progressive

Why Constipation Injuries.

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed
into the system, making you feel dull
and stupid, and interfering with the
digestion and assimilation of food.
This condition is quickly relieved by
Chamberlain's Tablets. Obtainable

Spring is looked upon by many as

For number of years Mrs Rob-
erts suffered acutely with kidney
troubles and chronic appendicitis,
with their accompanying ills. She
was generally run down in health,
and was forced to undergo an oper-
alton, which, however, gave her
little relief.
'She perhaps suffered equally as
much with liver troubles, and, dur

the bills for medical services for her.
''She was so sore on her right
side that she could not even bear to
touch it. Because all our efforts to
find relief had failed, she became
discouraged. We saw almost every
day in the papers a statement by
some one who had been greatly
helped by Tanlac, and she decided
to give it trial. We certainly are
thankful we did, and we are also
thankful we were privileged to get it
This is the reason: Mrs Roberts
feels fine now, and from a weight oi
one hundred and seventy pounds

taking Tanlac, she has increased in
weight to more than two hundred

occasions boxing with our 16-year'
old son; she says she can now take
as much punching on her right side
as on the left, so completely was the
soreness in that side renewed while
she was taking Tanlac.
Mrs Roberts has taken just two
bottles of Tanlac, and is now taking
her third bottle. She did not want
to start the third bottle because sht
is gaining weight so rapidly. She
says she does not need medicine

FREE SPEECH IN ENGLAND
Worlds Political ExiIes Seem to Grav.
itate Naturally to the Land
of Fogs.

England has long been pre-emi-
nently the land of free speech. On
the continent a very close police SUI
pervision is exercised over the acts
Of the individual, and anything in
the nature Of incendiary utterances
is promptly suppressed.
When an anarchist or revolution
list escaped from Russia, Austria,
Germany or France, he sought and
found an asylum in England.
London has long been the home of
the worlds political exiles, and yet
it has been the freest Of all the Euro
pean capitals from bomb throwing
or revolutionary demonstrations.
A street speaker could denounce
all English institutions from Magma
Charta down and attract very little
attention.
The suffragists created tumults
and more disorder than generations
Of political refugees had done.

NEW LIFE-sAVING SUIT.

There was recently tried in water
off Sandy Hook a life-saving suit
which is the invention of a locomo-
tive engineer of Sheridan, Wyo.,
which, it is asserted. will not only
save the life of a victim of marine
accident who undertakes to make use
of it, but it will also protect the
wearer from chill and shock, the re-
suit of being thrown into the water.
The new suit is made of a material
which is rendered waterproof by a
treatment of rubber, but lis buoy
ancy is secured by making use of
kapoc, a Russian plant, which is
lighter and more buoyant than cork,
The inventor put on one of these
suits right over his street clothing in
a minute and a quarter, and then
jumped into the water, where he re-
manned splashing around for some
time, and when he removed the life
saving suit there was no evidence OF
water inside.

Hook.

Batting a trout hook with kernels
Of corn, Louis Boyden Of Springside

held the other end of the line, sat
down, smoked his pipe and waited
for a bite.
One of Rebecca Rosenthal's Rhode
Island Red broilers on the other side
of the dividing fence sighted the kerr
nels, hoped through a gap in the
fence and swallowed bait, hook and
line-there was no sinker. Boyden
hauled in his fve-pound catch, be-
headed it in his woodshed, rebaited
the hook, cast again and soon had
another pullet. -..,-. t'---~-
Satisfied with his luck, Boyden
put away his tackle. But someone
who had watched his exploit told the
police. In court he pleaded nolo con-

away and returned them to their
