Advice of the largest coffee dealers in
in the world is always to buy the old
fashioned Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee in
J* the sealed packages. Don't ask for a pound of Mocha and Java, or buy by the pnce,
for Coffee fluctuates and you cannot get the same coffee for the same price all the time,

pad Breath.
A well-knovm physician, who
undoubtedly knows, declares that
bad breath has broken off more
matches than bad temper.
There are ardent
lovers who must
sometimes wish
their sweethearts
presented sweeter
mouths to be kissed.
Good teeth cannot
prevent, bad breath
when the stomach is
disordered.
The best cure for
bad breath is a
.cleansing out of the
body by use of
Lane's Family
Medicine,
the tonic laxative.
This is a herb medicine, sold in
25c.
and
50c.
It cures headache, backache,
indigestion, constipation and skin
diseases.
Most of the so-called Mocha and Java Coffee is simply
masquerading, and is not nearly as good coffee for you as Arbuckles' ARIOSA, the blend
of the Braaljan Coffees most suitable to the taste and health of American people. By the
looks there is no difference between roasted Java and Brazilian Coffees many people drink Brazilian but pay fo? Java
The principal difference is that Arbuckles* costs you .less. It is a mistake to believe that a high pric6 guarantees
quality. When you buy Arbuckles* ARIOSA Coffee, you get a full one pound package of the leading Coffee of the
world. Its sales for 37 years are greater than the combined sales of all the other packaged coffees. By giving better
Coffee for the money, we have built up a business exceeding the combined businesses of the four next largest coffee firms
in the whole world. If your dealer will not supply the peruine, write to ARBUCKLE BROS., New York Gty.

GOOD HORSE TRADE.
Earl-- Winter Demand for Ail Commer
cial Classes of Steady Volume.
Chicago, Dec. 17.—The general tone
from all quarters exceeds anticipations
of dealers and the week's receipts clear
freely at steady to firmer prices for
heavy business offerings. Estimated
receipts for the week total 1,920.
against 733 last week and 2,256 the cor
responding week last year. Eastern op
erators were in attendance In unusual
numbers and pre-hollday orders were
urgent for offerings of good weight and
quality. Heavy drafters were ip good
evidence and cleared steady to uneven
ly higher values. New York operators
in particular were keen competitors for
the best consignments and a few ton
lots of extra finish were run up to $300
@340 by the Empire city dealers.
Northern dealers filled liberal orders
for heavy logers at $170@210 and up
to $225 for select 1,600-lb drafters. Bulk
of the draft offerings cleared at $170@
190, but the better grades changed
hands at $200@210 and upward. North
Dakota buyers are in the market filling
early orders for farm mares and chunks
and early indications prognosticate a
broad demand from the northwestern
states for horses tor agricultural use
after the New Year. Early winter de
mand is broader and more urgent than
featured the trade a year ago, especially
for heavy business classes.

FARMERS FAVOR
A PARCELS POST
Z?t:
WAPELLO COUNTY INSTITUTE
ADOPTS RESOLUTION DECLAR­
ING ITS 6TAND
Would Benefit Local Retail Merchant#
—Final Session of Meeting Held—
Winners in Corn Contest Announced
—Prof. Bowman Talks.*
Wapello county farmers fnvor the
parcels post. Saturday afternoon at
the closing session of the Institute re
solutions were adopted in which the
assembled members expressed them
selves as favoring the installation of
such a system. The resolution stated
that they believed It would be to the
advantage of the local retail merchants
and others if such a step were taken
by the national government.
With the address on corn, de'iverfid
Saturday afternoon by Professor I».
Bowman of the Iowa State AgricnlJur
al college at Ames, the third annual
meeting of the Wapello County Farm
ers' Institute came to a close. The
next meeting will be held here Decem
ber 12, 13 and 14, 1907.
The institute which was in progress
at the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A
during the last three days of the past
week, was a most successful one. With
a large number of the farmers in
Wapello county In attendance Satur
day afternoon one of the most inter
esting sessions of the three days'
meeting was conducted.
Special Features of the Session.
The leading features of tl.e session
were the address by Professor Bowman
the reading of the winners in the corn
contest, and the report of the resolu
tions committee.
One of the pleasant features on the
program was several selections ren
dered by a male quartet composed of
Frank Emery, L. W. Shoemaker, A.
Rodgers and B. W. McGinnis. The
piano accompaniment was played by
Mrs. Clarence Wolf.
One of the important topics brought
up for discussion during the session,
was the condition of the road on Court
Hill, near the cemetery.
R. C. Dimmitt of Highland town
ship, F. Whitcomb of Center township
and Charles Bluhm of Richland town
ship, were chosen as a committee to
await upon the city council of Ottum
wa and the officials of the Otttumwa
Railway & Light Co. to induce them
to take steps toward having the road
made better for travel.
Another interesting topic which was
brought up at this time was the hitch
ing post problem. The question of
having the merchants and others in
stalling mitching posts was discussed
Nothing definite was done at the meet
ing regarding the matter.
Farm Improvements Discussed.
One of the most interesting, topics
and one which brought lively discus
sion was that of the farm improve
ment. It was clearly demonstrated
during the discussion that the farm
today is run on a thorough business
plan. That all the old time leaks in
the business has been stopped up and
that today the farm is equipped with
the necessary machinery and equip
ments which will make farming pay
In a business like way.
Considerable stress and emphasis
was laid upon the advisability of pro
per tilling of the land In order to make
it yield to its fullest capacity.
Resolutions Are Adopted.
Following the discussion on farm
Improvements, the report of the resolu
tions committee was read by A.
Gardner and the resolutions were
adopted.
The following were the resolutions
"We extend to the officers of the
Institute our thanks for their untiring
efforts in 'making this institute a suc
cess. That we extend our thanks to
all the speakers who have participated
in all the dlscu6sionsr also to those

Construction Co., for their liberal con
tribution of tile as premiums in the
corn contest. We wish to heartily as
sure them that their liberality an.i
enterprise is very much appreciated by
the members of the institute.
"Resolved, that Iowa has the best
agriculture college in the union. We
strenuously oppose any legislation
that aims to destroy or curtail Its ef
ficiency. We are grateful for the
very instructing and helpful addresses
made by th(| various speakers from
the college. That, we thank J. F.
Dings and others for their liberal
donations toward premiums and fin
ances of the institute.
Favor Parcels Post.
Also reselver that it would be to the
advantage of the local retail merchants
as well as others, and this institute
wishes to place itself on record as be
ing in favor of the parcels postal ser
vice.
A. J. Gardner,
Fr^nk Whitcomb, $
Committee
Probably no other 'address has been
delivered in the city which was attend
ed with as much interest as was the
one on co£n, delivered by Prof. M. L,
Bowman of Ames. Professor Bowman
is a corn expert and his lecture was
a most helpful one for the large num
ber of agriculturalists present. He
easily demonstrated that the manner
of farming and growing corn has de
veloped into a scientific study and that
it is done on a scientific basis in or
der to be successful.
After he judged the con exhibit in
the contest and it had be?n auctioned
off, Professor Bowman to'.k ih? pint
form and said in part as follows?:
Corn is Better This Year.
"After judging the corn at the ex
hibit last year and at the one of (his
year, I will say that the cnri on exhi
bition this year is of a better ciunlity.

"/n selecting seed corn, go to the

"Corn is king in this state and if we
do not have a good crop one of the rea
sons of it is that the seed that was
sown

of poor quality. A man would
not think of trying to raise good cat
tle from poor individualities among
his herd. So It is with corn? you have
to have good stock to begin with.
"If a man has not the time to test
his seed corn, then he has not time
to farm it. The time is not far off
when the farmer In this country will
have his small breeding plot where h®
will have several acres In corn that
will be raised scientifically for seed.
Prof. Bowman then showed with 11
lustrated charts the manner of testing
seed corn and the way of picking out
the. live kernels.
