A Good Poultry Supply House 



A new advertisement of an old reliable poulfy supply 

 house comes into our columns this issue. It is that of W. J. 

 Gibson & Co., Chicago. There is hardly any necessity of the 

 poultry business but what is carried by this concern, who 

 make it a point to supply their customers the best and only 

 the best there is going. In the personnel of the house there is 

 a good deal of poultry talent, certain of the members being 

 actively engaged in the poultry business. At least one, Mr. 

 H. M. Horton.is well known to poultrymen, and is at present 

 a director in the National Fanciers' Ass'n. 



A Chance to Make Money. 



I have berries, grapes and peaches a year old. 

 fresh as when picked. I used the California 

 Cold Process. Do not heat or seal the fruit, just 

 put it tip cold, keeps perfectly fresh, and costs al- 

 most nothing; can put up a bushel in 10 minutes. 

 Last year I sold directions to over 120 families in 

 one week ; anyone will pay a dollar for directions 

 when they see the beautiful samples of fruit. As 

 there are many people poor like myself. I con- 

 sider It my duty to give my experience to such 

 and feel confident anyone can make one or two 

 hundred dollars round home In a few days. I 

 will mail sample of fruit and full directions to 

 any of your readers for nineteen (19) 2-cent stamps, 

 which is only the actual cost of the samples, 

 postage, etc. FRA^fCis Casey, St. Louis, Mo. 



Flowers and Character 



That which surrounds us forms our character. If we live 

 in the midst of filth we cannot keep it secret. 



If we live surrounded by the beauties of life, the world 

 knows too. 



Probably the purest and most beautiful thing on earth is 

 flowers. Flowers are uplifting, they are purifying. They 

 strengthen and refine. They are awe inspiring. 



Miss C. H. Lippincott, .319 Sixth Street, "Minneapolis, Minn., 

 who has had twelve years of successful experience with flow- 

 ers of every species, offers to send to any address, four pack- 

 ets of choice flower seeds, all different varieties, also her 

 beautiful illustrated catalogue which gives full descriptions 

 of many varieties of flowers and tells how to plant and care 

 for them. Just send four two-cent stamps to cover postage. 



Why Are American People So Fat 



Dr. Henry C Bradford, the "World's Greatest Specialist on 

 Obesity, speaks about people in America and abroad. He 

 claims that the American people become fat at a very early 

 age, and he also finds that the percentage of deaths in this 

 country is much larger, and he attributes the cause in most 

 cases to heart failure, which is caused by fat. 



Dr. Bradford will be pleased to answer any letter that any 

 of the readers of this paper may address to him, and he will 

 explain fully his wonderful method of treatment for reducing 

 fat to normal. When you write him address plainly, Henrv 

 P. Bradford, M. D., 24 East 23d Street, New York City, and 

 he will send by return mail full information regarding obesity, 

 its cause and cure.

I Will Send aTrial Treatment 



FREE 



I know you want to reduce 

 your weight, but probably you 

 think it impossible or are 

 afraid the remedy is worse 

 than the disease. Now, let 

 me tell you.that not only can 

 the obesity be reduced in a 

 short time, but your face, 

 form and complexion will be 

 improved, and in healili you 

 will be wonderfully benefited. 



I am a regular practic- 

 ing physician, and have for 

 many years made a spe- 

 cialty of the reduction of 

 superfluous flesh. I do 

 not seek to demonstrate 

 a theory. I have no time 

 for that, for I am accom- 

 plishing facts. I am cur- 

 ing thousands who have 

 given up all hope of ever 

 being relieved from the 

 dangerous disease obesity. 

 I am bringing joy and 

 happiness into hundreds 

 of homes. 



Avoid dangerous drugging. You cannot afford to wait 

 or experiment with anti-fat remedies. They are not pre- 

 scribed by a well qualified specialist and physician, and 

 are drastic in their action on the system. The causes and 

 forms of obesity are many and each sufterer needs special 

 personal treatment. Dosing and drugging with strong and 

 powerful drugs is not the true treatment for obesity. Such 

 cures are far more dangerous than the disease itself.

 Stomach and. Heart Trouble. Weak Lungs, Rheumatism 

 or any Disease or Weakness of the Vital Organs, write me 

 today for a FREE sample of my never-falling treatment.

 treatment and cured from many diseases caused by obesity 

 are living witnesses to the everlasting power of my match- 

 less treatment. Double Chin. Heavy Abdomen, Flabby 

 Cheeks and other disagreeable evidences of obesity are 

 remedied speedily. I treat either sex. 



Remember, I shall send entirely FREE to every person 

 who writes me, be they rich or poor, a prompt and courteous 

 answer to eacli and every letter and enough of my wonder- 

 ful treatment to convince the whole world that I have fully 

 discovered the true secret for pennanentl.v reducing super- 

 fluous flesh and to give to my patients long life and perfect 

 health. If you will address me today and tell me con- 

 fidentially anything you wish my advice on, my services
