The farmer's wife who raises chicken*,
know? that they
must have food
enough first to
aatiafy bare
hunger, tben
enough mor?
than that to
make flesh and
fat before they
will begin to lay.
In plain words
you're got to put
into the hen in
the form of food
what you get out
'mt of it in the shape
of e?ga. An ill
nourished hen
laya no egg?.
The difference
between the
farmer?? wife and her chickens ia that
?he fancies she can take out of herself in
daily cares and toil? what ?he does not
put back in the form of nourishment for
ner?e and body. But ahe can't. Sooner or
he woman who tries it breakadown.
The warning sign? of physical break?
down are, among others, headache, weak
h, flatulence, pain in aide or back,
di??cult breathing, palpitation of ?ie
heart These are only some of the in?
dications of a derangement of the atom?
ach and organs of digestion and nutri?
tion. The one eure remedy for thie con?
dition is Dr. Piero?'? Golden Medical

THE WAR IN AFRICA.
Tbe Boers have won a fight at the
Ztod river, 83 miles north of Bloemfoi.
tein, io the Orange Free State. Tbey
had a hot engagement on Tuesday with
General Hotlon, commanding Britieh
mounted Infantry and colonials. Newe
of ihe coi tlict was received in London
Inet night. General Huiton advanced
to tbe Zand and attempted to seize a
Bosr convoy. Tbe burghers turned on
him and opened fire witb six cannon.
Soon tbey crossed the dry bed of the
river and begau to rake the British
witb a cross cross fire, at tbe same time
threatening General Hutton's retreat.
The position became serious and, as
tbe Boers sent up reinforcements, the
Bruirti were in danger of being cut oil.
General Hutton retreated, using part of
bis forces to oover his retirement and
leaving tbe Boers in possession of tbe
liver.
Lord Roberts is expected to delay hie
main advanoe uotil be can olear au
right flank, in tbe eastern part of tbe
Free Stato, and get in touch with Gen.
Bollar.
It is reported at Capetown that Buller
is advancing oo the Biggarsberg moun
tair a and that tbe Boers are withdraw?
ing.
It is aleo reported at Capetown that
a proclamation bas been issued by Lord
Roberts annexing tbe Free State to tbe
Brillali empire. Lord Roberts is pur?
suing a sterner policy, destroying
bou?es io which guns are found and ar?
resting the male occupants.
President Steyn, of the Free State,
declares tbat tbe Boers will fight to the
end, and that not one of the Free
Staters is unwilling to oon inua the con?
flict. A dispatch from ? ?od river
quotes bim as saying: "We will fight
at the Vaal river, at Pretoria aod after?
ward in tbe mountain?."

QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still baa tbe
largest sale of any medicine in tbe civi?
lized world. Yonr mothers and grandJ
mothers ?never thought of using any?
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious?
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicite, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. Tbey
used August Flower to olean out tbe
system and stop fermentation of undi?
gested food, regulate tbe action of tbe
liver, stimulate tbe nervous aod organic
action of tbe system, and tbat is all
they took when feeling dull and had
with headaches and other sobes. You
only need a few doses of Green's
August Flower, io liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
tbe matter with you. For sale by

An Anoient Belief.]
The ancients believed tbat rheuma?
tism was tbe work of a demon within a
man. Any one wbo bas bad an attack
of sciatic or i n H amatory rheumatism will
agree tbat the infliction Is demoniac
enough to warrant tbe belief. It has
never been claimed tbat Chamberlain's
Pain Balm would cast out demons, but
It will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to tbe truth of tola
statement. One application relieves tbe
pain, and this qulok relief which it
affords is alone worth many tlsea Its
cost. For sale by ell druggists.
