Many Women Suffer
UNTOLD AGONY FROM
KIDNEY TROUBLE,
Very often they think it is front so -celled
" Voluble DiSeatte." There is less female trouble
than, theY think. Women suffer from backache,
eleeplessness, nervousness, irritability, and a
elreggingelown feeling iu the loins. So do men,
soul they do not have " femele trouble." Why.
then, blame all your trouble to Female Disease ?
With healthy kidneys, few women will ever
have "female iiisorders." The kidneys are so
closely connected with all the internal organs,
that when the kidney's go wrong, everything
goes wrong. Much distress would be saved if
women would only take

THE OUTLOOK FOR SHEEP

Press bulletin from the ()Mario Agrieultuitil
College, Guelph, Canada, by M. S. Arlie%
13 S. A., A.
The rise and fall of prices, the ebb and
Row of the tide of trade is a recognized
fact of commercial life. With a auger
on the pulse of the market, the ability ta
relate OWN business to the demands of wear, NEWS,
the present and the courage of patience
and resotwoefuluese tu prepare for the de•
meuds of the future is a talent that
should asaure =cm in the life of any
man be he farmer, tradesman, or maimfacturer. A stockman who takes ad-
vaietage of a dull year to strengtheu or
improve his breeding flock and refuses
to breathe the atmosphere of discourage-
ment aud impatience under which his
neighbors are going down to failure, is
wise in his day and generation. The
sheep owner and breeder who, not des•
pairing of the revival of the sheep in•
dustry, has during the past few years,
by judicious selection and breeding,
maintained or increased the quality of
his flock, is now reaping the reward of
his hopefulness and is in a position to
take the largest advantage of the brisk
demand and high prices of the present
time.
"Record marketings at record prices"
is the reporter's summary of the stem),
'am at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago,
for 1005 In all duriug the year 4,738,-
748 sheep were marketed, which, in a
grand total is 234,000 more than in 1904.
The top price for wethers was $6 25 per
cwt The demand for breeding ewes
thtoughout the States has, during the
past year, fully doubled and there were
by no means enough feeder sheep to
supply the demand in the corn.belt and
on the range. One feature of the Chi-
cago market was the presence of Cana-
dian lambs, one lot selling in November
lest for $7 25 per cwt. The past year
has also been a profitable cue for the
wool grower, present prices being ab-
normally high. With the impetus given
o the sheep industry by the active de.
wand for wool and marten and because
of the general prosperity of the country,
the opinion prevails among high authori.
ties that the breeding and feeding of
sheep will be a profitable business for
the next two or three years at least. For
breeding purposes, sheep selected from
Oenadian flocks are particularly popular
in the United States, and Canadian
farmers ought to be in a position to reap
a rich harvest through trade with their
cousins across the line. The presence of
sheep on the farn moreover assists the
farmer wonderfully in keeping bis farm
free from weeds and in maintaining the
fertility of the land. Finally, the pros-
pect of profit in the sheep trade is better
now than it has been for years, and the
outlook is promising to those who have
retained their faith in the sheep as the
Farmer's Friend.

At the Robert Burns anniversary
dinner io. New York the other eveuiug,
one of the speakers told of a friend of
bis who had just come to this country
from Scotland, and moving into a Har-
lem flat. Said the friend to him: "I'll
xio be able to bide iu the hoose there."
"What's the tuatter; it's just as good a
house as you ever lived in," the friend
said. He remarked, "Oh," replied the
man fresh from Scotland, "ouy thing is
gude auenth for me, but my collie dog
is getting spoilt. He canna wag Ms tail
this way (moving his hands from side to
side) , he has to wag it this way (up and
down) ."-B tiff alo Commercial.
Talk about personal liberty ! A man
may drink watered milk for his weak
stotaach's aake, but the law will not al-
low him to soli it to others. He may
read obscene and vicious books to satisfy
the inmate cramp of a corrupt nature,
but the law will not allow him to engage
in the sale of those books to others. If
a man may drink liquor which poisons
his whole being and converts him into a
pauper and criminal to be a burden upon
society, he certainly ought not be allow-
ed to engage in the sale of suck liquors
to others. The good citizen believes that
the selling of alcoholic liquors ought to
be made a crime j nsb as the selling of
watered milk, diseased meat, or vicious
books has already been made a crime. -

Once there was a boy named John -
we think bis name was Wanamaker, or
maybe it was Moneymaker, anyway his
namo was John, with some sort of a
maker attached to his last name. Be
owned fifty yards of calico, three parr
of jeans, a half-dozen paha of home-
made yarn socks, and five pairs of boots,
He called this a dry goods store through
a Philadelphia newspaper and offered to
sell et pair of socks for 33o. The don't-
believeda-advertising merchants laugh-
ed. Young John spent $65 in the Phila.
deIphia. Ledger to advertise just one time
and had less than $100 worth of goods.
He was cautioned by the merchants who
knew it didn't pay. It was through
sympathy that they offered him advice.
But John didn't listen to them and blew
in his money foolishly, and to.day poor
John sees the results of his misdoings -
he haa so many dry goods stores that he
cau hardly find time to study his Sun-
day school leeson.-Moutreal Gazette.

West Wawanosh Mutual Fire
Insurance Company.
The annual meeting of this company
was held at Dungannon on the 24th Of
January, There was a large attendance
of policy holders and others present.
Minutes of last annual meeting were
read and approved. The annual report
of the directors and auditors' reports in
reference to business of the Company for
the year euding Dec, 31st, 1905, which
were laid before the meeting, were full
and explicit, giving evidence of a satis-
factory and a successful business having
been done during the past year.
The reports were unanimously adop-
ted.
Messrs. John Griffin, J. H. Kaake and
Jas. Girvin, formerly directors whose
term of office had expired, were again
re-elected. The former auditors, Mr.
John Wilson of Auburn, and Mr. Walter
A. Wilson of Wawanosh were again re-
elected.
The reports above referred to show a

Last Friday James Watson, of this
town, and Elam Livingston, of Blyth,
decided to try the speed of the respective
horses they were driving, and had a re-
gular organized horse race along Jose-

had been finished Chief Pettypiece made
them stop and served them with a sum -
mous. It just cost them $t and costs
each for their fun.

Quite an excitement was created in
town on Tuesday morning when it was
announced on the streets, by hand -bills
and otherwise, that our friend, James
Plenty, of the Advance had the previous
night lost his pocket -book containing $55
in bills and a 23 cent shin -plaster. Such
an unusual thing ae an editor having
$55 25 to lose was quite safficieat to
create excitement. We felt sorry for
our friend when we thought how rapid-
ly the accannulatiou of years of mime.
ing labor had been ruthlessly swept
away, and we tried hard to imagine how
we would feel if we had such a fortune
and lost it all of a sudden. But our
imagination could not commence to cane -
prebend how we would feel, so our
thoughts had to revert to the time when
we lost our all -$1.87 and a three -cent
postage stamp -in a wild and reckless
speculation. That was years ago, but
we have felt terribly cut up ever since
that budding fortuue was taken from us.
But we are digressing from the sub-
ject. After a fruitless search along the
street for the lost money it turned up
safely where the editor had left it -at
home, and great was the rejoicing there-
over.
