We never did; but we have
seen the clothing at this time
of the year so covered with
dandruff that it looked as if it
had been out in a regular snow-
storm.
No need of this snowstorm.
As the summer sun would
melt the falling snow so will
Aprs
Mr
vigor
melt these flakes of dandruff in
the scalp. It goes further than
this: it prevents their formation.
It has still other properties:
it will restore color to gray hair
in just ten times out of every
ten cases.
And it does even more: it
feeds and nourishes the roots
of the hair. Thin hair becomes
thick hair; and short hair be-
comes long hair.
We have a book on the Hair
and Scalp. It is yours, for the
asking.
If you do not obtain all the benefits
you expected from tiie use of the Vigor,
write the doctor about it. Probably
there is some difficulty with your gen-
eral system which may be easily re-
moved. Address,

When a school teacher appears with
a mew ring on her finger, there is so

Railroad Trains to Run Slower.
.Railroad officials claim that it is
very expensive to run their express
trains, and are talking about reducing
the speed. It is likewise expensive to
the health to struggle and compete in
business affairs as men do nowadays.
The whole system gives out. For re-
storing strength Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters is the proper remedy.
A new market for American wheat is
opening in Japan. During 1895 that
country imported from the United
States 484,510 pounds of wheat.In 1896
the imports of wheat from the United
States amounted to- 2,451,689 pounds.
The amount increased in 1897 to 12,-
467,466 pounds. Some wheat was re-
ceived from other countries, but the
amount received from the United
States was greater than from all other
countries combined. Corea is our great-
est rival in this trade, her exports to
Japan last year being about two-thirds
those of the United States. We also
send flour to Japan, the amount for
each of the two latter years being over
§1,000,000 pounds. In 1895 the amount
was only about 13,000,000 pounds. Ja-
pan imported flour also from Great
Britain, British America, Australia,
China, Hongkong and other countries,
but the total imports from all of them
combined was less than 1,000,000
pounds. We have a clear advantage
over them all in this respect.

darkest cloud.

man who pays his debts.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
toy local applications as they cannot reach tha
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused, by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear-
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can he
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing hut an inflamed condition of
the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

HENRY PFEIFFER, Kansas City Mo.
The air is filled with rumors of wars.
They come thick and fast, but they
are only rumors, after all, and are not
to 'be given full credit. War is such
an expensive luxury that the contem-
plation of the necessary expenditure
gives those in authority a most c6m-
mendable spirit of hesitation. For
that reason pay but little attention to
the rumors. Wa.t for the cannon's
opening roar.
Read the Advertisements.
You will enjoy this publication much
better if you will get into the habit of
reading the advertisements; they will
afford a most interesting study and
will put you in the way of getting
some excellent bargains. Our adver-
tisers are reliable, they send what they
advertise.

A Boston circular says: "About 2,-
000,000,000 bu of corn are of late years
consumed in this country, 1,009,000,000
bu of which is fed to meat-producing
animals, 600,000,000 bu to working ani-
mals, 200,000,000 bu for human food,
and 200,000,000 bu for seed, for distill-
ing and other purposes. Expert author*
ities claim that the quantity fed to ani-
mals the past crop year was largely in-
creased by reason of the protracted
drouth last fall and resultant loss of
pasturage, and that the quantity used
for human food was also much greater
by reason of the abnormally high
price of wheat and flour.'’

GREAT SAVING RESULTS FROM THE USE OF
SAPOLIO
Future Welfare of the Continent IJes in
Their Fertile Fields.
The rapid progress that is being
made in the settlement of the fertile
prairies of Western Canada is leading
to the investigation of its resources by
those interested in having provision
made for those living in the crowded
east, for those who have been strug-
gling for years on impoverished farms,
for the renter who^Pfrnable any longer
to bear up under the strain imposed by
the landlord, and for the farmer who,
unable to purchase farms for his sons
in his own neighborhood, has to look
around for lower priced lands. The
investigation shows that it is impos-
sible to meet these conditions success-
fully outside of Western Canada. Al-
ready millions of bushels of wheat are
being grown there each year, while as
many as 50,000 head of cattle were
shipped out this year. A representa-
tive of The Germania, Milwaukee, one
of the leading German papers in the
United States, recently made a trip
through Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta
and Saskatchewan, where lie the free
government lands of Western Canada,
and in a future issue will appear ex-
tracts from flattering letters contribut-
ed to the Germania and other papers
by their special correspondents. As
an inducement for immigrants to make
their homes in Canada, the Canadian
government offers 160 acres of land
free of cost to any settler.
For further information apply to
Canadian Government Agent, Depart-
ment Interior, Ottawa, Canada, or
to Dr. Richardson, Houston, Texas.
SAYINGS ABOUT WOMEN.

politeness.—Montford.
Remember woman is most perfect
when most womanly!—Gladstone.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my
angel -mother.—Abraham Lincoln.
Earth has nothing more tender than
a pious woman’s heart.—Luther.
Disguise our bondage as we will, ’tis
woman, woman rules us still.—Moore.
No man can either live piously or
die righteously without a wife.—Rich
ter.
Even in the darkest hour of earthly
ill, woman’s fond affection glows._

Heaven will he no heaven to me, if
I cio not meet my wife there.—Andrew

WHEN MINDS ARE BRIGHTEST.
Bacon’s greatest work took fifty-
nine years to mature and Grote’s “His-
tory of Greece" some few years longer.
George Eliot was near her 50th year
when she wrote “Middiemarch” and
this was succeeded by that powerful
book, “Daniel Deronda.”
Longfellow wrote “Hiawatha” at 48
and Oliver Wendell Holmes gaves us
“Songs in Many Keys” when he had
passed his 55th birthday.
Darwin’s “Origin of Species” was
evolved by the philosopher when he
had reached his half-century and his
“Descent of Man” when twelve years
older.
Milton’s mind rose to its Highest
capacity when the blind poet was be-
tween 54 and 59. It was at this period
of his existence when he offered to the
world “Paradise Lost.”
Cowper had turned the half century
when he wrote “The Task” and “John
Gilpin,” and Defoe was within two
years of 60 when he published his won-
derful “Robinson Crusoe.”
Sir Walter Scott was 44 when his
“Waverley” made its appearance, and
nearly all those stories which have
conferred lasting fame upon him were
composed after the age of 46.
Every reader and' history critic will
admit that of all Thomas Hood’s works
the two which stand pre-eminent are
“The Song of the Shirt” and “The
Bridge of Sighs.” Yet these were
written at the age of 46.
Research proves that the human
mind is at its fullest power between
the ages of 40 and 60. Swift was 59
when his brain gave birth to “Gulli-
ver’s Travels,” and John Stuart Mill 56
when his . essay on “Utilitarianism”
was published, although his “Liberty”
was written nee years previously.
HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
When a woman is looking very
fagged out and tired she should avoid
wearing gray colors anywhere near the
face.
When you are hoarse speak as little
as possible until the hoarseness has
disappeared or the voice may be per-
manently lost or difficulties of the
throat may be produced.
The hair should always be well
brushed for five or ten miriutes twice a
day. It keeps it glossy and makes it
grow. Even if it falls out very much
it should he well brushed just the
same.
Tears are a certain beauty destroyer
and bring wrinkles to the face sooner
than anything else. Women who weep
on all and every occasion lose their
good looks very early. A smiling face
and a cheerful temper are the best
preservatives of beauty in the world.
If you are thin and anemic start the
morning by drinking a glass of warm
milk and about half an hour afterward
rise and take a cold or tepid bath, with,
a little ammonia or salt in the water.
Sponge the body briskly and dry with
a rough bath towel; rub vigorously till
the body is in a warm glow. Drink
cocoa for breakfast and eat an egg if
possible. About a quarter of an hour
after take a tonic in some form, and
between breakfast and luncheon go for
a snort walk, but do not allow your-
self to become fatigued. At lunch and
dinner a glass of claret or burgundy
should be taken, and in the afternoon
go for another short walk.
The London Standard says that be-
tween now and the end of the year
many millions of pounds sterling bor-
rowed in London and Paris for use in
sustaining German industrial and com-
mercial speculations may have to be
paid back. This will put severe pres-
sure on all German credit institutions.
There may be no breakdown, but the
end of the year will be a trying time
for Germany. This article urges the
great joint stock banks to help the
Bank of England by keeping heavier
balances idle than is their habit, so as
io keep the money market firm.
Bon Bon Baking Powder. All first-clasB
grocers sell it, nearly every woman uses it.

It is always safe to take it for
granted that, as yourself, so others are
trying to do their best. Shortcoming
is no sign of shortwilling. Sweetness
is never whipped in.
During the war many men went to
Cuba to kill their fellow-men. Those
who succeeded are acclaimed as heroes.
After the war Colonel Waring went to
Cuba to save his fellow-men from
death, by combating and destroying
the plague that has long ravaged that
island, and in the performance of that
duty he fell victim to the plague and
died. Surely he, too, is to be deemed,
in the highest sense, a hero and a mar-
tyr.
When a man cues and provides in
his will that his wife shall not marry
again a certain question is bound to
intrude itself. Is it because she is so
good that he hates to divide her with
any other man or because on his death-
bed he is taken with a feeling of pro-
tective philanthropy for those of his
sex who must stay behind?

THE EXCaiENCE OF SYBUP OF FifiS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also*
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and oi-iginal remedy.- As’ the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless-
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company; a guaranty
: of the excellence ctf its remedy, ft is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and

ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
