portant |»art in the spread of pollen.
In all cereals and grasses, and in the
'potato, the pollen is carried mainly
by wind, in mo t of our common
' plants of garden, field, and orchard, in

NUMBER OF CONVICTS
GRADUALLY INCREASING
i There were on the rolls of the pent
j tcntiary here this afternoon the names!
of eight hundred and twenty-six con- j
victa which is only eighteen or twen
ty short of the maximum number ever!
housed in the institution at one time.
A few weeks ago the register at the'
penitentiary showei the names of
i el&hl hundred and forty prisoner*; j
"here, hut since then the number of;
men discharged under expiration of'
sentence has been largely in excess,
of those received under a decree ofi
the courts. Although there is con
siderable variation in the number of
convicts at the prison from time to
time there is a general upward ten
denc) in the i>enitentiary colony, al
though the gain from year to year j
does not. perhaps, exceed the ratio,

i tion.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pin It ham Medi
cine Co.
Women who are well often ask “Are
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
'Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" “Are they truthful?"
“ Why do women write such letters? ”
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Kever. knowingly, have we published
Ln untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
prateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and Buffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, ulceration,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
It is impossible for any woman who
is well and who
l.as never suffered
to realize how these
poor, suffering wo
men feel when re
stored to health;
their keen desire to i
help other womer
who are suffering as <
they did.
ONLY ONE PRISONER

with crime or misdemeanors of s?me
kind, and cnly once or twice has the
num' er of men imprisoned there been

S. A. Boyce enjoys the distinction
of being the cnly prisoner at pres
ent in the custody of the sheriff of

J the charge against him will come Up

What Is Uric Acid ?
THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE,
RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL
AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Ever since the discovery of uric acid
in the blood by Sclieele, in I<<s, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientist* and physicians have striven
to rid the tissue* and the blood of
this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu
matism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called * Anarirf,"
which will tl»row out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys
tem. "Anuric” has proved to be 37
times more potent than lithia, and
consequently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheumatism or
gout, or many other diseases which are
dependent on an accumulation of uria
acid within the body. Send to Dr.
Pierce, of the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., for a
pamphlet on " Anuric,”or send 10 cents
lor a trial package of w Anuric Tablets.’*
If you feel that tired, worn-out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your
sleep is disturbed by too frequent
urination, co to your best drug store
and ask for IX>ctor Pierce’s Anuria
Tablets.
Poctor Pierce's reputation is back of
this medicine and vou know that hi*
** Golden Medical Discovery ” for the
blond and his w Favorite Prescription ’*
for the ills of wotueu have had a splen
did reputation for the past fifty years.
