Farm Women and Automobiles. 
A good many of us farmers’ wives have 
always liked to take little drives through 
the country during the pleasant Summer 
months, when the “glide mon” was too busy 
to accompany us. but now. if you have a 
horse that has any spirit, it is a dangerous 
pastime to go out, unless we take some rocky 
road or climb the hills, and there is very 
little pleasure In that. I hear some one 
say : “The law Is so it protects us.” I would complained of is a nuisance depends upon

and see an auto coming toward you and hold G. C.’s residence, and the stench, noise

going to look at a number? And by the time 
you get your horse and yourself out of a mix- 
up, where is your auto? Gone on the wings 
of the wind. We farmers’ wives and daugh¬ 
ters think that the people who are able to 
own and run an automobile are able to build 
their own roads to run them on, and leave 
the public highways for the use of people 
who do not care to be sent from this mun¬ 
dane sphere by a horse maddened by one of 
tuose “pesky” automobiles. Of course we 
women don't make the laws, but we may be

to consult local counsel. Speaking gen¬ 
erally, if the facts are as stated by him 
there would seem to be little doubt as to 
the right to have the nuisance abated.

The Future of the Mule.

pounds per acre of fertilizer, analysis, nitro¬

States Consul has reported their merits to 
our State Department; and Hagenbeck is ex¬ 
pected to undertake their production and dis¬ 
tribution. The zebrula, with his inheritance 
of brilliant stripes, is prettier than the mule. 
He Is immune to certain diseases, which

Like the ass and the goat, he has been which live m manure, but they do not feed

like the apricot and quince, and not even

trouble of manufacture he will cease to be.

BOOKS WORTH BOYING. 
The microscope shows that in the blood 
of every person suffering from typhoid the 
litcle germs can he found as shown above. 
They are s. iosed to get into the water or 
m .k ' drink. The germs multiply so 
that one germ is capable of producing 
about one hundred trillion germs in twen¬ 
ty-four hours. That is why if they ever 
get into the water supply of a town they 
multiply so fast that nearly everybody 
drinking the water comes down with the 
disease. There are exceptions, however, 
and they are the persons whose health is 
perfect, whose blood is pure, and liver 
active. When the germs get into a healthy 
body they are thrown off with the other 
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show 
that one-eighth of all the d< aths in the 
past two years in that city have resulted 
from pneumonia. 
The best advice we can give is to put the 
body into a perfectly sound, healthy condi¬ 
tion. Be assured that you have rich, red 
blood and an active liver. 
Many years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, who is 
consulting surgeon to the Invalids’ Hotel 
and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y., 
found certain herbs and roots which, when 
made into an alterative extract (without 
the iv;e of alcohol), seemed to be the very 
best means of putting the stomach, blood 
and vital organs into proper condition. 
This seemed to him as close to nature’s 
way of treating disease as it was possible 
to go. For over a third of a century Dr. 
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has had 
a wonderful sale and the cures resulting 
from its use are numbered by thousands. 
It is a tissue-builder, better than cod liver 
oil because it does not sicken the stomach, 
or offend the taste. It strengthens or 
renews the assimilative or digestive pro¬ 
cesses in the stomach and puts on healthy 
fle. i when the weight of the invalid is 
reduced below the normal. 
Acc< pt no substitute for "Golden Med¬ 
ical Discovery.” Nothing else is "just as 
good.” 
Dr. Pierce’s Pellets cure biliousness.
