His father was a tinman, and le the son with a lot .of what might e called Mink in the line of egg -beaters, drainers, broilers, and sixth like cheap stuff It was practically unsaleable, until Kirby one day printed. a ticket to announce, that everything in the store was to be sold for five or ten cents. By` this device he sold articles worth fifteen cents for ten cents, but also, presumably, got ,rid of articles worth three cents or nothing for five cents. The idea was a ',success. It was copied by a neighbor, Kresge, a stationery who thus disposed of pens, pencils, blank pads and other cheap and almost unsaleable stock There is no suggestion that ° Woolworth copied Kirby, and it is said that to the last the three men, later part- ners, disputed hotly as to the origin- ator of the five and ten cent store.

Concerning them Mrs. S. P. Moulton, St. Stephen, N.B., writes.—"I have used. Baby's Own Tablets for .a longtime and find them a most €ffective and valuable medi- cine. I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 cents -a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Agisc WOOLWORTH BUILDING MADE OF NICKELS Frank W. Woolworth, one of the 'most remarkable of ` modern mer- chants, died a few days ego, in his 67th yeate His estate has been est- imated at more than '$50,000,000, and it was built up mainly by nickels and dimes, for Mr. Woolworth, as the world knows, was the first man to make a vast fortune by the :discovery that people will flock to a store where no article is sold for more than ten cents and will buy not only that par- ticular article they wanted, but per- haps half a dozen other articles, lured. thereto py sheer cheapness. He was - not the discoverer of the idea. No- body was. - A couple of men tried the thing experimentally .and' were amazed at the insults. Mr. Wool- worth did not make the experiment until he had seen it made by others. It worked. Then he made- it on his own account, and it failed. But he believed in it, and made a second attempt. It worked again, and:Wool- worth found himself on the high- way to fortune. Of course, he did not become a millionaire over night. He had his years of hard and Imre-. warded toil, his' anxieties and dis- couragements, =:but ` con the whole he made one of the great commercial successes of modern times. He was born on a New York farm in 1852, but had no taste for farm- ing noer for railroading, which seemed the only alternative. He had. no capital, and not the education that would have started him on a professional career, so the idea of becoming a. storekeeper, though he desired it, seemed an idle one. He counted himself fortunate therefore. when he secured a position with a dry goods firm in. Watertown, work- ing three months for nothing and later.* on drawing $3.50 a week, which just settled: his board , bill. Eventually he worked up to $10 a week. When this time arrived, he was by no i ieaus a youth, and, he had a wife to support. Then seine - body in Watertown started a "99 cent store," and Woolviorth: was struck with its success. This he says, gave him his first idea of the possibilities of selling cheap stuff. The idea also made an impression on his einployersr, and the . firm of Moore and Smith experimented with a "five -cent counter," on . which *as displayed $75 worth of goods. The next week was Old Home week, and the five -cent counter was sold out again and again. Gpods had to be ordered repeatedly from New York by telegraph. As Mr. Woolworth said later, 'people went crazy' to buy things on that counter whether they had value or not" News of the innovation was spread through the state by the visitors when they returned home, and all over the state five -cent ;counters began to spring up. Wool- worth determined to go into the business on his : own ' account.. He had saved $50, and Moore,- one of his employers, 1advancecl hint goads worth $350. on a note endorsed by. Woolworth's father. After a careful survey Woolworth decided that Utica was the most promising site for his venture, and he rented a store there on a side street, stocking it with the goods he had ,brought from Water- I town. This was on February 22, 1879, when the hero of the take was 27 years old. The date fell on a Saturday and ever since nearly all of the Woolworth stores have been opened on 'Saturday. The Utica store struggled, on for three .i months, some days sales dropped to $2.50: Then it was obliged to close. Wool- worth had lost his little capital, was without a job. He 'was down, but hot out. , He induced Mr. Smith, 'the other member of the Watertown firm, to advance him another stock of goods, - and this time he started a store in Lancaster, Pa. .This was a. success from the first. On the opening day nearly a third of the stock was sold out, and this store has flourished ever since. With this business a -money-maker, Mr. Woolworth was able to open stores in other cities, for at no time had it been his am- ' bition to have one big store. So through Pernosylvania and; r New York State, the stores spread. In 1895, stores were opened in New York, Before tie s Woolworth had flow Many Pi,,., . , a Cow? • Pigs and cows work ;Tory well ° t o- gether as the hog is one of the neo it. economical inea prodncers the farm, and does especially well on dairy by-prodt!cts"-s_titttmilk, butter- milk and whey. The number of pin: per cow 'will depend on the kind of ttairying the farmer is engaged in. if selling milk for direct consumption, for the milk condensory; or for the ptiwtier milk factory, there is no 1v -product, hence it is doubtful if hogs, tinder these conditions,' :Fill pay at tail, estie- cia-lly with- -ani uncertain market.. ‘,Vhey, from the, cheese factory, will not support so many pigs per cow as will skimmilk and buttermilk fro.n the farm dairy, or creamery. On the average, we recommend one brood sow for each ten cows supply- ing milk to a cheese factory, and one sow for five or six cows where cream Ylkr butter is sold from -the farm., If a, sow reared 10 or 12 pigs each year, this would work out at from one to two pigs per cow on a dairying farm. There are tomes when a much greater number than this would he ort the farm, as the pigs would be In various stages of maturity. The farmer and successful pig -raiser aims to keep up a regular procession of pigs from the sow to the bacon fac- tory.

Nearly all the common diseases that afflict mankind are caused:' by bad- blood-weak, ad,bloodweak, watery blood poisoned by iinputities. Bad blood is the cause of headaches awl, backaches, lumbago and theumatisi ; debility and indiges- tion, neuralgia,' sciatica and other nerve troubles. It is bad blood that ' causes disfiguring skin diseases like ecterna, and salt rheum; pimples and eruptions. The severity of the trouble indicates how impure the blood is, and it goes 'always from bad to worse un^ less steps are promptly taken to enrich and purify the blood. There is ' no use trying a diifeiient medicine for each disease; forthey all come -through the one trouble—bad blood. To cure any of, these troubles you must get right down to the root of the trouble in the blood., That is just what Dr. Williams' Pink' Pills do. They make new, rich, red blood. - They simply purify and enrich the blood, and the disease disappears, That is why Dr: Williams' Pink Pills have cured thou- sands of cases after other medicines had failed. Here is proof of ' the power of Di?: Williams' Pink Pills to cure. Mrs. M. Stills, who ` resides near the town of Napanee says,; "I cannot praise Dr. Pink Pills too highly. I was Williams'y very much run down in health, suffered from fre- quent spells of indigestion,billiousness, and sick headache. I had an almost constant pain in my head and „my housework was a course' of dread. In fact I felt so miserable that life held_ abut little enjoyment. , I was advised to -try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which I did, and the result was simply mar- vellous, and can, best be summed up by saying that they made me feel like a new woman, and fully restored my health. I would advise every woman and girl who has poor blood, or is run down in health to give these wonder- ful pills a trial. I am never without them in the houee."
