Sick Headache
“I have been a frequent sufferer |
from sick headache for years, yet |
never would use headache tablets.
My son persuaded me to use Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills during one
of these attacks, and to my surprise
it gave me speedy relief.”
MRS. LOUISE LEWELLYN,
Powell, S. D.
When the disturbance which
causes headache affects the nerves
at the base of the brain, which con
nect with the large nerves that run
to the stomach, heart and lungs, it
frequently causes headache with
vomiting—sick headache.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
soothe the irritated brain nerves
and the cause of pain is removed.
The first package will benefit; if not,

PROTECTS THE POLICY-HOLDERS
OF THE SOUTHERN LIFE
The Jefferson Standard Life Insur
ance Company Comes to Their
Rescue,
Fayetteville, N. C., March 31, 1909,
Today was consummated one of the
most important deals that has ever
oecurred in the annals of Southern in
surance, The Jefferson Standard
Life Insurance Company of Raleigh,
N. C,, came to the reseue ol the policy
hoiders of the Southern Life Insur
ance Company of Fayetteville, and
guaranteed to them that their insur.
ance would be protected by the large
assets of the Jefferson. It has been
known for some time that the South
ern Life would re-insure its policies,
several flattering offers were made by
large companies throughout the coun
try to obtain this business, but the
directors of the ecompany, looking to
the interest of the poliey holders, and
knowing the strength and standing of
the Jefferson, selected it, after mature
deliberation,
In effecting this re-insurance and
protecting the policy holders, the
Jefferson Standard Life Insurance is
in no way directly or indireetly con
nected with any transaction of the
Southern Life. The policy holders of
the Southern Life Insurance Com
pany are to be econgratulated upon
their good fortune in having their life
insurance policies guaranteed by the
Jefferson, which is one of the strongest,
if not the strongest life insurance
company south of the Mason and
Dixon Line, and one of the strongest
in America. It has a surplus to policy
holders of nearly half a million dol
lars. It is well managed, conserva
tive, and is backed by some of the
most prominent financiers in the
South.
The officers of the Jefferson
are Joseph G. Brown, president; P.
D. Gold, Jr., first vice-president and
general manager; Chas. W. Gold, sece
retary and superintendent of agen
cies; Chas. W. Gamwell, actuary;
Ex-Governor Chas. B. Aycock and
Judge R. W. Winston were special
counsel for the Jefferson in making
the transfer of the business. The re
insurance agreement was fully ap
proved by James R. Young, Insurance
Commissioner of North Carolina.
A weary man will say yes to a
proposition, assent to a plan and nod
over the articles of incorporation.

CHILD ATE CUTICURA.
Spread Whole Box of It on Crackers
—=Not the Least Injury Resulted
—Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.
A New York friend of Cuticura writes:
“My three year old son and heir, after
being put to bed on a trip across the At
lantic, investigated the stateroom and lo
cated a box of graham crackers and a box
of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was
made for the box, it was found empty and
the kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on the
crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and
I don’t know what else.”
No more conclusive evidence could be
offered that every ingredient of Cuticura
Ointment is absolutly pure, sweet and
harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a
young child, none but the most beneficial
results can be expected to attend its appli
cation to even the tenderest skin or
youngest infant.

Mr. G. T. Roberts of Resaca, Ga,

have used your Liniment on a horse
for sweeney and effected a thorough
cure. I also removed a spavin on a
mule. This spavin was as large as a
guinea egg. I regard Sloan’s Lini
ment as the most penetrating and ef
fective Liniment I have ever known.”
Mr. H. M. Gibbs, of Lawrence,
Kans., R. F. D. No. 3, writes:—"Your
Liniment is the best that I have ever
used. I had a mare with an abscess
on her neck and one 50c. bottle of
Sloan’s Liniment entirely cured her.
I keep it around all the time for galls.

thing about the stock.”

APPLES WITH PEACHES,
The plan of setting peach trees
among the apple trees in starting an
orchard is well liked by some grow
ers. The peach trees gradually die
out and leave the entire orchard to
the apples as soon as they need the
space, The peach trees iuterfere
somewhat with spraying the apple
trees, The apples are set the ordinary
distance and a row of peach trees be
tween, Sometimes peach trees are
also set between the apple trees in
the row. Other growers set twice
as many apple trees in the row as
they will need and cut out every other
tree as soon as the space is needed.
The Wealthy apple is one of the best
varieties to set in places where the
tree is to be removed. It is a very
early bearer and of salable quality,—
American Cultivator.
LIME-SULPHUR WASH,
By the employment of a high grade
lime it is possible to prepare the lime
sulphur wash without the use of ex
ternal heat that will give quite satis
factory results on the San Jose scale,
but it is not advisable to rely on the
heat derived from the lime alone to
effect the desired combination with
the sulphur, as so much of the lime
before it reaches the farmer is likely
to be air-slaked. If the trees are pro
ductive it will not pay to take chances
on the scale by the use of uncertain
remedies. If it is desired to employ
a sulphur spray I would advise the
use of the lime-sulphur wash cooked‘
over a fire or by steam, the latter
preferably, or one of the commercial
preparations of lime-sulphur wash
which are now so extensively advers
tised.—P. A. Parrott, Entomologist.
COLD FRAME OR HOTBED.
To make a hotbed dig a space
about two feet deep, fill with fresh
horse manure and cover with several
inches of soil, so that the top will be
a little above the surrounding soil.
An old window sash will answer as
well as a regular hotbed sash, but if
it does not fit the frame tightly it
should be protected with matting,
especially at night. The space be
tween the top of the soil and the glass
should be about six inches at the
start. The soil will settle somewhat
with the fermentation of the manure.
The earlier in the season and the
colder the weather, the deeper should
be the pit and the larger the amount
of manure used. A two-foot pit will
hold about manure enough to keep
warm for six weeks, and will answer
in a hotbed started the last of March. ‘

PYRUS BACCATA. ‘
Pyrus baccata, or the Siberian
crab, is a well known and very beau
tiful hardy tree both when in flower
I Epring and algd in autump, |
when covered with its small but beau
tifully colored fruits. An unusually
fine tree is growing at Holm Lea,
Brookline, Mass., the residence of
Professor C. S. Sargent. It never
fails to flower and fruit annually,
and is a most beautiful feature in a
very beautiful garden. Possibly our
park superintendents and those re
sponsible for the planting of our pub
lic places would use these fine trees
more were it not for the fact that the
fruits always attract the small boy,
to their detriment. They are splen
did ornaments in any planting scheme
and worthy of the best attention of
planters, no matter how large or how
small the garden. — Indianapolis

LOMBARD PLUM. 1
The Lombard is a great favorite
for the following reasons: The trez
seems to adapt itself to any locality;
it is extremely hardy, producing good
crops where many varieties will not
grow; it is a strong growing tree—
trees on our grounds five years being
as large again as some varieties
planted the same year; it is exceed
ingly productive., My experience has
been that it outyields most other
varieties, and yet all varieties of
plums are remarkably productive.
It is not equal to some varieties in
quality, and yet it is enjoyable eaten
out of hand and desirable for canning
and other domestic purposes. Those
who are not familiar with their su
perior virtues would consider this de
licious. The fruit usually hangs so
thick on the limbs that we are com
pelled to thin out one-half. The
more you thin it, the larger, brighter
and better the remaining fruit will
be. It is a handsome reddish plum,
the flesh yellow, juicy and pleasant.
Season—August. More than one of
the leading fruit growers have plant
ed the Lombard tree especially for
a stock for top budding and grafting
slow varieties, and it is one of the
mest vigorous growers, and gives
great satisfaction for this purpose. It
is an excellent variety, and 'should
be planted in all gardens and orch-,
ards. It gan be relied upon for a
crop, ctiflShen some other vri

Donald had returned from a vigit
to the country, and was full of rem

had interested him. “I met a boy,

folks found it in the Old Testamenc:.
It was—it was—llet me see-—yes, it
was Father William, or William Fa

But it was one or the other.”
“But, Donald,” said his mother,
“there is no such mame as Father
William or William Father in the
oOld Testament.”
‘““Are you sure, mamma?”
“I certainly am, dear. I have read
it through several times. Willilam is
a companratively modern name. It

Brotherly Attractions.
During the encampment of several
regiments of soldiers in a certain dis

neighboring farmers.
One day a donkey-cart full of turt
was brought ‘in, the driver being a
country lad.
As a regimental band was playing,
he stood in front of the donkey and
held the animal tightly by the head.
Some of the “smart ones" gathered
round, highly pleased, and the wit of
the party asked why he “held his

SISTER'S TRICK
Dut it all Came out Right. °
How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to = coffee fiend
is an interesting tale: :
“1 was a coffee fiend—a tremblir—,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. I mocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
“One day my sister substituted a cup
of piping hot Postum for my morning
cup of coftee but did not tell me
what it was. I noticed the richness
of it and remarked that the coffee
tasted fine, but my sister did not tell
me 1 was drinking Postum for fear I
might not take any more.
“She kept the secret and kept giv
fng me Postum instead of coffee
until I grew stronger, more tireless,
got a better color in my sallow cheeks
and a clearness to my eyes, then she
told me of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my mornirg coffee.
From that time I became a disciple
of Postum and no words can do jus
tice in telling the good this cereal
drink did me. I will not try to tell it,
for only after having used it can one
be convinced of its merits.”
Ten days’' trial shows Postum’s
power to rebuild what coffee has de
stroyed. “There’s a Reason.”

book, “The Road to Wellville.”
