V '-z ir. tiie way a b o r e and a poor blanket loon U the end of v. inter.

Why is it that of two horse blankets which look ?.ncl f ed equally well one won 't wear at all, and the other wears well ?

This Trade Mark_ shows why.

Horse Blankets w h i c h arc strong and have a reputation are always i m i t a t e d in poor q u a l i t i e s w h i c h

look like them, but having fewer warp threads are not as strong.

Some dealers buy these poor imitations for a few ccnts less and by saying they are " jus t as good," se l l t h e m a t t i e same p r i c e a s t h e

strong blankets to parties who do not know the difference.

You cannot toll whether horse b l a n k e t s are s t r o n g b y t h e l o o k

or feel, as the warp threads do not show on the face. H o w then are you to know?

IN order that you Can tell a strong blanket from a weak one,the manu-facturer of 5^ Horse Blankets sews the above 5^ Trade Mark inside of each blanket. This is a guarantee that it is the strongest blanket made for the money and will wear well.

Tbe Lessons ot "Uotei Fr i t s" Case.

The greatest doctors in Europe don't seem to know what ails "Unser Fritz."

Thus are the Garfield and Grant epi-sodes repeated, and public confidence iu "expert" medical knowledge is again shaken.

Tbe effect is a revolution. Since the fatal day of 1883, many of

the doctrines of the schoolmen concern-lug extensive medication have been abandoned and all schools of practice are more and more relying upon old fashioned simple root and hero prepara-tions and careful nursing—the only re-liances known to our .-uicesters.

These methods and reliances are ill-ustrated to dav in a series of old-fash-ioned roota and herbs preprations ie ceutly given to the world by the well-known proprietors of Warner's safe cuje —preparations made from formulas

' by many of our oldest fami-1, anu rescued for popular use, and

issued under the happy designation of Warner's Log Cabin Remedies.

"My son, "exclaimed a venerable wo man to the writer when he was a boy, "my son, you'r yeller and pale and weak like lookin', you'r needin' a good shak-ing up with some sas'pariT,"

A j u g of spring sarsapariila was just as n« cemsary in the "winter supplies" of fifty years ago as was a barrel of pork, and a famous medical authority says that the yesy general prevalence of the use of ijUuh a preparation as Log Cabiu Sarsapariila explains the rugged health of our ancestors.

While Warner's Log Cabin Sarsapar-iila is an excelleut remedy for all sea-sons of the year, it is particulhriy valu-ble iu the spring, wben the system is full of sluggish blood and requires a natural constitutional tonic andinvig-orator to resist colds and pneumonia, and tho effects of a long winter. Philo M. Parsons, clerk of the City Hotel of Hartford, Conn., was prostrated with a cold which, he says, "seemed to settle through my body. I neglected it aud the result was my blood became impov-erished and poisoued, indicated by in-flamed eves. I was treated but my uyea grew worse. I was obligad to wear a shade ot er them 1 feared tbat I would be obliged to give up work,"

Under the operation of Warner's Log Cabin Uarsaparilia and Liver Pilis," he says, "Tbe sore and inflamed e> ea dis-appeared. My blood, I know, is in a healthier condition thau it has been for years. I bave a much better appetite. I shall take several more bottles for safety's sake. Warner's Log Cabiu Sarsapariila is a great blood purifier and I most heartily recommend it.*'

A few bottles of Warner's Log Cabin Sarsapariila used in the family now will save many a week of sickness and many a dollar of bills. Use no other. This is tbe oldest, most thoroughly tes-ted, and the best, put up in the largest saisaparilla bottles on the market, con-taining 120 doees. There is n» other preparation of similar name that can equal it. The name of its manufac-turers is a guarantee aof its superior worth.

While the great doctors wrangle over the techcicalities of an advanced med-ical science tbat can not cure disease, such simple preparations yearly snatch millions from untimely graves.

A Berrien Surings correspondent of the Benton Harbor Palladium unearths the latest scheme of swindling to bam-boozle farmers: " A seed company, whose place of business is in Oceana county, send out their oily-tongued agents representing that the ci>fh|mny have a new kind of oats and potatoe, the oa.s yield from 80 to 120 I ushels per acre, and they desire to place them in the bands of a few of the leading farm ers of each township to introduce them. The comoany exacts for their share one-half of all the crop crown from their s-.-ed, and further binds ihe farmer n<>t to sell any cf nis share of the oats for less than $1.50 per bushel; thus the farm-er who bites at their scheme is virtually working his own farm on shares. I •have been told that several grangers have already been taken in."

Die4 —Mr. Julius Rouse, at his resi-dence in Lowell, March 37, 1888, in the seventy-eighth year of his age, of cancer. For a year or more the death of Mr. Rouse has been expected. Few however had heard that he was worse than usnal until on Thurs-day nvorning his decease was announced. He suffered greatly through his pro-traded affl'ction, yet passed away quiet-ly and i n comparative ease. The de-ceased was a man of great industry, strong convictions, deep earnestness and devotion to whatever principles of right commanded themselves to his judge-ment. These virtues are worthy our imitation. He found peace in chrisitan-ity wken a young man and died in the faith. He leaves a wife and five child ren. The burial was fro.a the Biptist church Thursday, 3 p. m.

One of the greatest literary hits of the season is the story of "Baby Bunting; or, the Alphabet of love," by Laura Jean Libbey, which is at present being published in the columns pf THE NEW YORK FAMILY STORY PAPER. T h e paper containing the opening chapters of this wonderfully popular roiuanoe ap-peared on the news stands this morning.

to be called handsome, especially the young ladies. But that is simply im-posible as long as their face is covered with pimples, blotches and sores. But wait, there is no need of this; one or two bottles of Sulphur Bitters will re move all such disfigurations, and make your face fair and rosy.—Fannie Bell, Editoress.

He tried many socalled popular cough remidies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breathinr and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and found immediate relief, and after using about half a dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease No oth^r remedy can show so grand a re-cord of cures, as Dr. King's New Dis-coverv for Consumption Guaranteed to do just what is claimed for it.—Trial bottle fr^e at Hunt & Hunter's Drug Store.

The Pul-monaria is a specific for Whooping Cough. I have practiced medicine for more ihan twenty five years, and have tried all the usual remedies for this disease, without success. .1 have rec-ommended the Pulmonaria in more than one hundred cases of Whooping Cough, and it has always cured. Last January my own child was attacked with Whooping Cough, and became quite bad before we were aware of what the difficulty was. We at once began the ues of the Pulmonaria, .0.fter which she rested well at night. Her cough became better at once, and in two weeks' time she was entirely cured. I
