In recounting hie experience to a reporter, Mr. Dunn said: •'About a year and a half ago I began to have trouble with my stomach. My cuffer ing was so Intense that I tried different medicines and doctored with several phy sicians, but without permanent relief. "I road an ac co'int of Dr. .4 Wounded Soldier. urally a robust man, but that stomach trouble, together with rheumatism, which afterward set in, were making fast inroads upon my health and I am satisfied that ft would have been but a short time before my comrades would have been conducting the regulation funeral ceremonies over my remains, had I not chanced to read of and taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." "There are several others in the home •who are taking these pills and are receiv ing great benefit." RICHARD DUNN. Subscribed and sworn to before me, this l6t day of Nov. 1897.

Marshall, in an address Michigan farmers, said: Diphtheri has been conveyed through milk sup plies. A single illustration will suffic to give the importance of this avenu of transmission. In a certain larg city a milkman noticed that his throa was sore, but did not consider it seri ous. Not long after a little girl, be longing to a family obtaining mill from this man, became sick with th Malignant form of diphtheria. A bac teriological examination revealed th germs of diphtheria in her throat, am an examination of the milkman's throa demonstrated that he had been sic] with diphtheria. The contagion whicl struck down the littie girl in all prob ability emanated from the milkman We have no unquestioned evidence tha diphtheria is ever transmitted througl the direct instrumentality of cows. 1 great deal of satisfactory proof coult be adduced to demonstrate that ty phoid fever is frequently carried bj milk. Within the last year a city o' about 20,000 habitants was visited bj an epidemic of typhoid fever. After careful mapping out of the cases scat tered over the city and a study the milk routes, the health authorities were able to account for over 93 pe cent of typhoid fever patients, and they were able to ascertain that thej all had obtained milk from a singl( milk supply. Following the rout» taken by this supply through th streets of the city, it was noticed tha typhoid fever began at two corners where this milkman had supplied mill1 to other milkmen. Before the corners were reached, the streets were fret from typhoid fever. This indicates tha) the man who supplied this infected street had pure milk until he reached the corner and received some milk from the contaminated supply anc also that wherever and whenever this man supplied milk to other milkmen their supplies became at once infec tious. Upon tracing out this contam inated or infectious supply to its source it was found that the man had been in the habit of washing his cans in a small creek which flowed through hi, back yard, and which farther up the stream received sewage The signifl cance of this typhoid fever epidemii may be .well understood when it is learned that there were between on' and two thousand cases. The tyro toxicon victims are perhaps still fresh in memory, for since its discovery by Vaughan of the University numerous1 cases have come to light in the state of Michigan. In each instance, the cause has been definitely established to be due to carelessness in the care of the milk or the milk's surroundings. The Evans' case in the sourthern part of the state, where a whole family was wiped out with the exception of the father, bears testimony of its direful effects. It should be remembered, too, that the tyro-toxicon is not the only possible poison produced by the action of germs upon milk other poisons equally intense have been isolated. One other word about germs which produce functional disturbances in man, before leaving this subject. We little realize what germs are capable of doing until we study milk in connec tion with infant feeding. Cholera in fantum and diarrhoeas of infants have been markedly reduced since milk used in their feeding has been patseurized. It is claimed by a French authority that in Paris alone infant mortality has been reduced 50 per cent since pas teurization was introduced. Bearing in mind that pasteurization is not yet viiversally adopted, we can well com prehend its value in connection with infant feeding. Paris is not the only city that can furnish records so favor able, New York and other cities are equally fortunate. I.ook Afte rVour Patrons. It would be a valuable object lesson to a great many buttermakers if a stream of clear sunlight could fall upon the air above the milk pails when their cows are being milked, particularly when the cows have been lying down in the stable since the previous milk ing. If the clouds of falling dust, dirt and actual filth could then be seen (as it could be seen in many stables were the light thus turned on), there ought to be no further uncertainty in the minds of these careless—to use no stronger word—persons as to the poor keeping qualities of their butter, its frequent "off" flavor, and it3 gen erally inferior quality, though a knowledge of this inferior character usually comes by way of those who buy the butter, as those who make it ap pear very frequently blind to its im perfection, says Elgin Dairy Report. It is useless to expect to secure a prime quality of butter by paying strict at tention to the matters of temperature, ripening of the cream, churning and scrupulous cleanliness in all the oper itions of buttermaking, highly impor tant as are all these things, if filth has been allowed to get into the milk dur 'ng the process of milking. r, ARTISTIC HOMES. How a Orent Manufacturer Has Broncht Them Within Reach of All. Probably at no time in the world's history has so much attention been paid to the interior decoration of homes as at present. No home, no matter how humble, is without its handiwork that helps to beautify the apartments and make the surround ings more cheerful. The taste of the American people has kept pace with the age, and almost every day brings forth something new in the way of a picture, a draping, a piece of furniture or other form of mural decoration. One of the latest of these has been given to the world by the celebrated artist, Muville, in a series of four handsome porroicin game plaques. Not for h.-is anything as hand some in iiis i'ne osen seen. The sub jects rcDv-'sent^d by these plaques are American Wild Ducks, American Pheas&r.t. American Quail and English Snipe. hey are handsome paintings and are especially designed for hang ing on dining-room wails, though their richness and. beauty entitles them to a pinre in the parlor of any home. These original plaques have been pur chased at a cost of $50,000 by J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers of the celebrated Elastic Ftarch, and in order to enable their numerous cus tomers to become possessors of these handsome orks of art they have had them reproduced by a special process in all the rich colors and beauty of the original. They are finished on heavy cardboard, pressed and em bossed in the shape of a plaque and trimmed with a heavy band of gold. They measure forty inches in circum ference and contain no reading matter or advertisement whatever. Until October 1 Messrs. J. C. Hubin ger Bros. Co. propose to distribute these plaques free to their customers. Every purchaser of three ten-cent packages of Elastic Starch, flat-iron brand, manufactured by J. C. Hubin ger Bros. Co., is entitled to receiv* one of these handsome plaques free from their grocer. Old and new cus tomers alike are entitled to the bene fits of this offer. These plaques will not be sent through the mail, the only way to obtain them being from your grocer. Every grocery store in the country has Elastic Starch for sale. It is the oldest and best laundry starch on the market, and is the most perfect cold process starch ever invented. It is the only starch ir,ade by men who thoroughly understand the laundry business, and the only starch that will not injure the finest fabric. It has been the standard for a quarter of a cen tury, and as an evidence of how good it is twenty-two million packages were sold last year. Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and tell you about Elastic. Starch. Accept no sub stitute. Bear in mind that this offer holds good a short time only, and should be taken advantage of without delay. The Aft of Making Friends. Dullerton—Prigster is always pick ing me up on my grammar.
