A man made mad is one who, after suffering 10, 15 or 20 years with rheu matism, rinds that by the use of a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil he is cured. He feels the waste of his life in pain, with the loss of time, place ana money, ana tnen reflects that for the expense of 50c. he could have saved all this and lived free of pain ; it is enough to make him mad. Most of our suf ferings are intensified by delay in seeking relief, and there is much worth knowing as regards the cure of pain that we find out at last only by the use of the best cure. It is worth knowing that for the cure of rhen matism there is a special virtue in The Great Remedy for Fain, St. Jacobs Oil, and as so much can be saved by its use, the cost is really nothing. A fire was fought in New Jersey re cently, by pumping from wine vats. The loss by fire was $2,000, and it took " $5,000 worth of wine to quench it.; . FORTUNE SEEKING EMIGRANTS.

' The theory of the earth 'as a conduc tor is discussed in a recent issue of the American Electrician "by Dr. Bell, and the conclusion arrived at that the con ductivity of the earth is so meager that, except in the case of very high voltages or very minute currents, it is quite in significant in practical affairs; in rail way return circuits the earth return does much more harm than good; for power service the earth is useless as a return, and in telegraphy alone does it appear likely to serve a permanently useful purpose. This is in marked com parison with the idea formerly preva lent and used in the calculation of ground return,circuits that the conduc tivity of the earth is infinite.' Brest's Cure for Big Hats.

PARALYSIS CAME FROM A FALL, From the Express, Los Angeles, California. Just think of ' a busy, hardworking man paralyzed in the midst of his ca reer, and rendered useless. That was the misfortune that befell James A. Jones, of 1002 Alpine street, Los Angeles, Cal., in September, 1891. Mr. Jones was born in the state where many of the presidents come from Ohio, but spent the greater part of his life during his younger years in Iowa, Jrom which place he went to Colorado, and in 1882 . came to Los Angeles. It was a small place then, before the boom came along and pushed us for ward a century in the road of progress, and Mr. Jones followed his occupation of carpenter and builder. While at work in September, 1891, he received a fall which jarred him considerably and he became confined to his bed. Shortly after he lost the use of the lower part of his body entirely, and his legs be came a dead weight. A plaster cast was put upon him by the doctors and they worked over him and did- all things possible to assist his recovery. But he remained in the same condition. In April, 1893, he began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The following June he noticed that he could move his toes, and July 4, 1898, he got up out of bed and later in the month was able to walk - without crutches. Shortly after, still continu ing the pills he went to work at his trade at Whittier's, where he sustained a fall and again injured himself and had to go to bed and the dread paraly sis came on again. Again the doctors worked with him but without relief, and he once more began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The dootors had given him bromides and iodides, but without effect. Again the pills drove the paralysis into the background. He said "I took them in accordance with directions, and in connection with the use of cold sponge baths', found they were exceedingly beneficial. " Mr. Jones is now able to walk again, and he feels that the pills are the only thing that has done him any good. In this connection he said: . "The doctors who have treated me have done every thing in their power, but without effect, and it does seem marvelous that paralysis should be overcome by these little pills. But that haB been my ex perience. If anyone doubts it let him write to me or come and see me and I will tell them the story.;' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements nec essary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, . sciatica, neural iga, rheumatism, nervous head ache, the after effect of la grippe, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexion,' all forms of. weakness either in male or female. .Pink, Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a , box or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100),' by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. ARB 'YOU A STRONG MAN? That is, a perfect man, the fellow who feels himself above other men in those vital ele ments that you must have to make man hood complete. Did you ever see him? It is one of man's faults to be indiscreet, and a man must be made different from the rest of us who has not been. As indiscretion is common, so is its sequel weakness, waste of vital force, lost manhood. This is the train of evils following early mistakes, and few men are free from them in a more or less degree. Hence the need of a natural stimulant is widespread. The only true remedy for this want of vital force is Elec tricity, as given to the weakened parts by Electric Belt the EVIDENCE OF STEADY GROWTH Wws Gathered In All the Towns of Our Neighboring States Improve ment Noted In All Industries Oregon.
