THE RISE OF THE HEN

1^rec and Independent Order of
Hens Seems to Have
Joined the Trust.
Time was, before the days of
huge eold storage* ware houses and
gigantic egg speculation, when the
faithful, fussy Ijen tilU*J the fann
er’s market basket with her de
lectable albumen fruit and in sea
son brought off a numerous brood
of progeny out of the high weeds,
that the American housewife,
however humble the home of
which she was mistress, had a pail
of white and brown eggs on the
pantry shelf and a pair of yellow
or blue legged chickens the necks
whereof to wring for a Sunday
dinner to regale the parson’s pa
late. Air, those were goodly days
for the common stomach. The
contented populace recked not of
the cost of the matutinal egg and
gnawed the thigh hone of the
‘'frying size” in blissful uncon
cern as to butcher or grocer. The
great American hen, generally of
now descript antecedents, went
light ahead with her benign busi
ness, like any well regulated force
of nature, and in rain or stiine,
heat or cold, the masses could de
pend on her supplying their table
with her matchless food product.
But, ala> ! the free and inde
pendent order of hens‘has perish
ed from the land of the trust.
The egg and the frying chicken
have become epicurean luxuries,
and if life lien is doing business
at the old stand, lie'* on!put is be
ing diverted into monopolistic
channels of trade. The artilii i.tl
hatching factory has largely sup
plemented natural incubation, and
with poultry production a science,
and the o.d methods of vgg pre
servation ob-apple, there is a void
in the popular stomach,—a void
that cries tor the fruit and flesh
of the feathered barnyard biped.
d'iie truth lias been slow to draw
upon us, but tve are now ready to
believe the report fiom Chicago
tint eggs have been cornered hard
and fast by a conscienceless trust.
Tor upwards of a year past the
altiludiuous price of eggs aiid
poultry has tilled us with anxious
suspicion, but we were told that,
fur some reason quite beyond the
ken of heuologists, t lie hen had
struck. We accepted this weird

KIDNEY CURE.
There is no disease bo insinuat
ing, so slow but sure, as kidney dis
ease, or so wide-spread. The symp
toms are so slight as to generally
escape notice.
The first indications appear in
the urine, with varied effects. The
quantity may be increased or de
creased; if. is iikely to be highly col
ored and scalding; it may be pale
or tliin, or thick and milky with a
sediment. Later on more pro
nounced symptoms w ill be present,
9uch as dizziness, bloating, etc.,
with marked bladder aud urinary
disorders.
Poisonous waste matter is collected
by the blood from all parts of the sys
tem and carried to the kidneys, where
it is separated and cast out through the
urino. The kidneys deal with the blood
only, deriving nourishment there
from. Hence, If the blood is bad the
kidneys are not only overworked, bu.
underfed. How necessary Is it, there
fore, that the purity and vitality of the
blood should be maintained. ItiRplain
why the great blood purifier and
strengthener -I>r. Harter's Iron Tonic—
has been successfully used in treating
kidney diseases and In preventing same.
In purifying the blood thp kidneys are
greatly relieved, while, at the same time,
new strength and vitality are given
these organs. The following letter tells
a very old story:
I’ink Knot, Ky., June 25, 1902.
The Dr. Harter Medicine Co., Dayton, O.
Gentlemen: I had a severe case of
typhoid fever six years ago, which left
my kidneys In bad order. I have tried
a Dumber of remedies and taken treat
ment from doctors, but Dr. Harter’s Iron
Tonto has done me more good than
everything else. C. Cobdei.l,
Merchant and Mine Operator.
There are thousands of just such
cases as the above that are treated
without results because they are
wrongly treated. Mr. Cordell’s
condition resulted from an exhaust
ing fever; the kidneys, as well as
the rest of the system, had been
wasted by disease. No wonder Dr.
Harter’stron Tonic promptlycured,
because it purified and enriched the
blood, ana such blood carried new
strength and vitality directly to the
kidneys and to all the organs.

tale with meek credulity, hoping
that another season would restore
the foolish fowl to its normal ac
tivities, and the egg and poultry
market as a consequence. Another
season came, and from the pang
of Easier to this eggless, melnn
autuinn tide, the situation
as to the hen has remained practi
cally unchanged. The off-yeai
theory of hen industrialism is
j henceforth smothered in salt. We
I have been basely deceived and be
trayed. The hen is all right, and
her offspring are not rebelling

I caruiverous instincts of the feath
j eriess-hiped known as man. Let
the facts he bruited forth to the
poor man's eggless hoard. The
trust octopus has gripped even
the.old blue hen in his tentacles.
The ordinary citizen who would
eat eggs keeps his otvn hens.
Otherwise, the day of universal
egg consumption is past, and time
honored table amenities are lost
to the preacher.
Again, alack! The same Chica
go report declares with the cool
nonchalance of a monopoly that
has the common people by the
beird, that the egg combination
will put the mice of the tooth
some ovals up to 50 cents the
dozen before Christmas, with a
dec per gouge in contemplation if
the rich do not become too econ
omical to consume eggs during
the blithesome holidays.

While waiting for his mother to

gin-house. A thousand pounds of

and the hoy began playing about
it. He dug a deep hole in the
seed and was climbing to the top
of the pile to slide down into the
aperture when he lost his balance
and fell head foremost into the
opening.
His father called him for break
fast a few minutes later, but re
ceiving no answer went into the
gin-house to look for him. He
saw the hoy’s feet sticking out
from the top of the pile of cotton
seed and on pulling his son out
found that his neck had been
broken. Physicians were called
in at once, but there weie no sign

TI1E COUNTRY PAPER
rtr. Bryan Hakes Some Pertinent
Remarks Concerning: the
“Country Press.”
Hon. W, J. Bryan has the fol
i lowing to say concerning theeoun
ii\ newspapers in a recent issue
|of his paper, The Commoner:
r>uriuar the campaigns of 1890
[and 1900, mid the lesser campaigns '
j since the former date, the demo
cratic pat iv lias found its c/tief
newspaper support among^ the
[loyal democratic newspapers so
'often designated as “the country
press.” With a few notable ex
ceptions the metropolitan news
papers classed as democratic de
serted the democratic standard
and lent their aid to the republi
can party. But the desertions
from the ranks of “the country
press were so few that they were
not noticeable. With a loyalty
that could not he swerved and an
ability that challenged the udmir
atiojrot the opposition, “thecoun
try press” rallied to the democrat
ic standard and performed prodr
giesof valor. •‘The country press”
has ever been loyal, and because
of this every democratic uewspa •
per that is embraced in this desig
nation deserves and should have
the hearty support of democrats
in its community. A well edited
local newspaper exercises an im
portant influence, not always visi
ble to the casual observer, but al
ways apparent when the test
comes. Hundreds of such demo
cratic weeklies and small dailies
reach The Commoners exchange
table regularly, and they are a
constant source of inspiration.
Let democrats show by their ac
tions that they appreciate the un
swerving loyalty and tireless ener
gy of the democratic newspapers
that have stood up tot the party
and its principles in the face of
influences that have corrupted to
many metropolitan dailies. The
local democratic newspapers de
serve a great deal more than they
usually get. [Now let democrats
see that their local organs get alt
they deserve.

"It has been five years since I was cured o£
heart trouble by your Heart Cure ami Nerv
ine, ami 1 am just as sound as a dollar in
that organ today. For several years I had
been suffering with my heart. Breathing
had become short and difficult at times,
short, sharp pains about the heart, sometimes
accompanied with fluttering would make
me feel faint and languid. The least excite
ment or mental worry would almost unnerve
me. I felt that the trouble was growing
worse all the time, and after tryi: g many
remedies prescribed by physicians without
obtaining relief, I was induced to give your
remedies a trial.' I was relieved the second
day, and after taking three or four bottles all
symptoms were removed and have never
showed signs of returning."—Rev. Geo. VV.

There are many symptoms of heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more com
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liver or
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. If you have the least suspicion that
j your heart is weak study your symptoms and

great heart and blood tonic, without a nay’s
