Who are injured by the use of coffee. Re
cently there has been placed in all the gro

GRAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes
the place of coffee. The most delicate stom
ach receives it without distress, and but few
can tell it from coffee. It does not cost over

great benefit. 15 cts. and 25 cts. per pack

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
That Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys
tem when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do is
often ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
O., contains no mercury, and is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In buying
Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you get the gen
uine. It is taken internally, and made in
Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testi

Sold by Druggists, price 75c per bottle.

FOR PLANTING PEAS.
Device Which Prevents the Peas
from Scattering and Pats Same
Quantity in Each Hill.
The pea dropper is useful on the
farm, especially to those who plant
peas between corn. It prevents the
peas from scattering and puts the
same quantity in the hill. It consists
of a square box, a, 3 inches square on
the outside and 1*4 inches inside, and
3 feet long, made of slats three-quar
ters inch thick, twb of them being 3
inches wide and two ll/2 inches wide.
A hole 1 inch square is made through
the side of the box 4 inches from the
nw
HOMEMADE PEA DROPPER.
bottom. The hopper, h, for peas, is
made of leather or'tin, and of any size
to suit, but a convenient size is one
that will hold about one quart. The
piston rod, b, is iy2 inches square, to
fit inside the box, a, and a one-half
inch hardwood pin, d, is made to serve
as a handle. At c is a half-inch pin ex
tending through the slot, g, which is
one-half by three inches. This is
placed 12 iuches from the bottom, and
when the piston, b, is raised, it brings
the notch, f, just opposite the hole at
the bottom of the hopper. This notch
is about three-quarters inch deep, and
is made to hold, measure and convey
the peas from the hopper to the ground
beneath. The size of it is governed to
suit the number of peas wanted.
To work the planter, put the ma^
chine down in the place for planting,
bear down on the piston rod, which
takes the peas down to the bevel on the
inside of the box and drops them on
the ground.—Orange Judd Farmer.
A WORD OF CAUTION.
TIiInk Twice Before Yon Bnjr “New
and Remarkable Plants” front
Strolling; Agents.
Much good money is wasted every
year in the purchase of nursery stock
that is “the greatest wonder of the
age.” People keep on buying this sort
of things and probably will continue
to do so. Soipe enterprising man, out
of a job, perhaps, or possibly because
there is money to be made at it, ar
ranges with some grower of nursery
stock to fill his orders with the cheap
est sort of seedling apple trees. The
agent starts out and names it “the
everbearing'pumpkin apple.” Trees
are sold for 50 cents or $1 each, and
the purchaser plants “the ever bear
ing pumpkin apple tree,” watches it
closely for four or six years, and at
last there are a few blossoms. What
delicious “pumpkin apples” will be
his! When fall arrives and a few sour
apples are all that are secured, there
is considerable disappointment, but
usually further hopes for future de
velopment. If plain, reliable trees of
Missouri Pippin, Ben Davis, Winesap,
Jonathan, Arkansas Black, Maiden
Blush, or any other standard varieties
had been planted good fruit would
have been secured instead of nothing.
This is but an illustration. The prin
ciple holds good in the purchase of
seeds and plants of every sort. Pur
chasing seeds and plants from well
known nurserymen and seedsmen is
the best and safest plan. Expectations
of a great deal for nothing, or of se
curing something unusually profitable
will not be realized. Fruits are men
tioned particularly because of the fre
quency of deception in tree-selling and
of the ease with which profitable,
thrifty, reliable nursery stock may be
secured.— National Bural.

WITHOUT THE FRILLS
Report of n Church Wedding; by an
Editor Who Discountenances
Frippery.
An editor who was thoroughly tired of
the foolishness that, goes on at a church
wedding finally got even as follows, says
the Atchison Globe man: “They were
married in great style. All the elite of the
town were invited, principally because it
was thought that they would be more likely
to bring elegant presents for the bride.
“Of course, the ceremony took place in
the church, and the church was most beau
tifully decorated for the occasion. P<J ted
plants were borrowed here and there,
wherever they could be gecure'd without
making the owner* mad enough to fight.
“The bride’s young lady friends had the
decorations in charge, and when they were
not making nosegays they were chewing the
rag about the trouble and work, and wish
ing that the bride had sense enough to get
■ip her own wedding. The ushers wore
claw-hammer coats, parted: their hair in
the middle and stepped high when they
walked down the aisle. The coats were
hired from a costumer, and their white
glove* came from an undertaker’s, who kept
them on hand for funeral occasion*.
"It was a ring ceremony. The ring was a
monstrous gold band borrowed of the vil
lage jeweler. People called the bride love
ly, but she was so homely that hollyhocks
wouldn’t grow in the dooryard where she
lived. The bridegroom was dressed in con
ventional black, so called because his father
once wore the coat to a democratic con
vention. The presents were simply ele
gant. They came from people who couldn’t
afford to hire the washing done or buy
baker’s bread. Then after a ‘sumptuous
wedding supper’ the bride and groom went
to St. Louis on their wedding tour, where
they spent more money in 24 hours than
both of them can earn in a month.’’

A WOMAN’S HEART,
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer Telle a Harrow
ing Talc of Suffering.
McCarron, Mich., April 8 (Special).
—Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer, of this place,
has given the following interesting
letter for publication:
“For years, I suffered intense pain
in the region of the heart. I doctored
with the best physicians. Some of
them would relieve me for a short
time, but the pain always returned.
My heart was so bad that I would have
to sit up in bed for hours to get relief.
I would lie awake almost all night. I
am 62 years of age, and no one can un
derstand how much 1 suffered with
this Heart Trouble.
“About a year ago, I heard of Dodd’s
Kidney Pills, and commenced to use
them. From the first my condition im
p-oved. The pain in my heart gradual
ly grew less, and my general health
much better, and now I can say posi
tively that I am entirely cured. I can
sleep all night, and enjoy almost per
fect health. 1 thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
“1 have thought long over the mat
ter of giving this letter for publica
tion, and am now doing so without any
solicitation whatever, and simply be
cause I feel it to be my duty to express
the profound gratitude I feel for my
recovery, and to let others who may
be suffering as I was know how they
may find a cure. I know that nothing
else but Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured me,
because I have taken no other med
icine for over a year. I feel better now
than I have for many years, and it is
all due to the use of Dodd’s Kidney
Pills.”
Mrs. Dyer's ease and its cure has at
tracted a great deal of attention, and
her letter is a splendid tribute to the
curative properties of Dodd’s Kidney
Pills.

A woman is sick—some disease peculiar to her sex is fast
developing in her system. She goes to her family physician
and tells him a story, but not the whole story.
She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agi
tated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies
the doctor.
Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the
disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very em
barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering,
even to her family physician. This is the reason why
hundreds of thousands of women are now in corre
spondence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To
her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready
to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her
correspondence with the patient than the physician can
possibly obtain through a personal interview.
Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the
result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such
letters are considered absolutely confidential by
Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or
manner without the consent in writing of the patient; but
hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs.
Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them
that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but
write asking that this be done in order -that other women
who suffer may be benefited by their experience.
Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes:
“ Dear Mbs. Pinkham :—For two years I was troubled with falling
and inflammation of the womb. I suffered very much with bearing-down
pains, headache, backache, and was not able to do anything. What 1
endured no one knows but those who have suffered as I did. I could
hardly drag myself across the floor. I doctored with the physicians of this
town for three months and gre\v worse instead of better. My husband
and friends wished me to write to you, but I had no faith in patent medi
cines. At last I became so bad that I concluded to ask your advice. I
received an answer at once advising me to take your Vegetable Compound,
and I did so. Before I had taken two bottles I felt better, and after I had
taken five bottles there was no happier woman on earth, for I was well
acrain. I know that your Vegetable Compound cured me, and I wish and
advise every woman who suffers as I did to try Lydia E. Pinkham s \ ege
table Compound. Believe me always grateful for the recovery of my
health.”—Mbs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis.
