Tho effect of the mingling of tho feoblo-mlndcd with society is a most baneful evil. Tho states aro just beginning to frmlizq that 'this is the source of much of the pauperism, feeble-mind-cdness, insanity and crlmo. Compe tent authorities estimates that from 40 to 50 per cen of fcoble-mlndod-ncsB comes by Inheritance from neu rotic parents and Dr, Kerlin says that thcro Is no field of political economy that can bo worked to bet tor ndvnntago for tho diminution of crlmo, pauperism and Insanity than that of Idiocy.

"Tho institution has for Its gon- oral object tho training of such adequate provision for this class, and you will find almost as many clamoring for admission as you find within tho wnlls of the institution. The Massachusetts school has 800 on tho waiting list; "Wisconsin home, 550; Craig colony, 800; Home Cus todial asylum, 400; Elwyn, Pennsyl vania, 35000. All the Institutions are full nnd over flowing nnd It is believed if all would at once double their capacity, thoy would be filled to their limit again within eighteen months. Massachusetts has a large Institu tion for the feeble-minded and two small ones for epileptics. Tho last legislature established another largo Institution for tho feeble-minded; Pennsylvania has Just established an Institution to house 1000 children In addition to tho 2350 already cared for in two large lnstitulons. Indiana has recently established, a colony for epileptics which will have 1000 pop ulation nnd Iowa 'is contemplating such n move to rolieve the crowded condition of the school for feeble minded in that stato. Maine, Rhode Island, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Montana have either taken steps or will soon do so with the permanent care of this class In view. Institutions In the Country. Twenty-two states support 33 sep arate institutions for tho feeble minded and epileptic. Tho number cared for is not less than 17,500, nnd tho annual .cost of maintenance ex ceeds 12,500,000. Tho amount In vested In lands nnd buildings is over $9,000,000. Conclusions.

IIACKKTT To Mr. nnd Mrs. Joo Hnekett, at their homo in Polk county, Friday, November, 2, 190G, a daughter. Thp ronson tcit " Golden Medical Dis covery" cures these and many other affections, Js clearly shown in n little book of extracts from the standard medical works which is mailed free to nnv nddress by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., to nil Bending request for the same. To aid In healinc old sores, or ulcers, apply Dr. Pierce's All-Healing Snlvo to them while taking the "Golden Mcdicnl Discovery" to purify and enrich theblood. Dr. Pierce's All - Healing Snlve is cleansing nnd pain relieving. It de stroys the bnd odors arising from sup purating, or running, sores and puts them in the best possible condition for healing. The w All-Healing Snlve "Is a superior dressing for nil open, running, or sup purating, Sores or Ulcers. For healing open wounds, cuts nnd scratches it is unsurpassed. If your medicine denier does not have tho "All-Healing Snlve" in stock mail 60 cents in postage stnmps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and you will receive it by return post. In treating all open sores, or ulcers, boils, carbuncles and other swellings, it is important that Dr. Pierce's Golden aieuicui uiscovcry do taisen persistently to purify the blood nnd thereby remove the C(i!(,c of the trouble. It is in tho blood thnt tho grcnt battle of health has to bo fought. The ulcer and the soro aro simply the scarlet flowers of disease, with roots running down into the blood. These roots must be eradicated or tho disease will breakout afresh. "Golden Medical Discovery" cleanses tho blood of all foul and poisonous accumulations, pushes out the dend nnd wnsto matter, and thus purifies the entire life current. Disease in the flesh must die out when it is no longer fed by foul blood. "Golden Medical Discovery" effectively cures dlseago in the flesh by curing its cause in the blood. Not less marvelous, in tho unparal leled cures it is constantly making of woman's mnny peculinr affections, weaknesses and distressing dernngc ments, is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion, as is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed by grateful patients who have been cured by it of catarrhal pelvic drains. painful pnriods, irregularities, prolapsus I cure the disease E&sytoteke and other displacements 'i"! ulceration of kindred affections, often other advertised medicines cinns had fa od.
