Nature did things up on a grand wale; such opportunities and possibilities for future greatness do not exist anywhere else on this continent.

If the people East only knew one half the advantages that this great Northwestern section has In store for all those who will come and enjoy them, all the rolling stock on all the great trans-continental railroads could not haul all the people that would want to come In 3 full years time; and there Is room here for millions.

In addition to the home and sanitarium features of this Institution, there will be a publlo library and reading room. These are greatly need ed, there being none In the city.

It Purines the Blood and Re moves Every Trace of Poisonous Acid. The Great Medicine Has Cured More Kbeumatie Sufferers Than All Other Combined Medicines. Suuerers irom tbe varied forms of rheumatism articular, muscular, lnflammatory.lumbagoand gout should bear In mind that there Is a morbid principle in the blood when rheuma tism is present. Tula morbid principle Is uric acid, which circulates with the blood and acts upon the Joints and muscles, causing the pains and agonies of rheumatltm. Palne's Celery Compound Is the only scientific remedy for the permanent banishment of every form of rheumatism.

If your Joints are painful; If or ankles are swollen, a few bottles of Palne's Celery Compound will soon remove all your troubles and palus. If you have Inflammatory orsciatic rheumatism accompanied with darting pains in the sciatic nerve from the hip down the leg, Palne's Celery Compound taken at once will soon drive out tbe disease, and make you strong and active. At this particular time when rheu matlsm frequently lays the foundation for other Incurable and grave troubles, we specially urge the honest use of at least one bottle of Dr. Phelps' life giv ing medicine, Paine's Celery Compound No case Is to complicated or difficult for this king of medicines. Thousands of happy and grateful men and women sing its praises and continually recom mend it.

It Is the only medicine that can rescue people from agony and death after physicians pronounce them incurable. Mrs. Louisa Blx, Wesley, Iowa, says: "Some time ago my husband was taken down with inflammatory rheumatism so that he was unable to get out of bed alone or to dress himself. We employed good doctors and used many kinds nf medicines, but with no relief. We finally sent for a bottle of Palne's Celery Compound snd before he had finished he was able to be at work.

Another bottle entirely cured blm." Savt Money by dyeing your faded garmentHWIth Diamond Dyes locents. BEY. HKKOK'S CHANGE Goes From Centralis Pastorate to Farmlngton, Mo. Cbntrama, April The Rev. C.

Women's Faces on Postage 8tamps For more than fifty jearB our gov ernment has been making postage stamps.

The first Issue, In 18-17, represented but two values, and on each was printed the likeness of a prominent man a policy ever since continued. Other nations have women's fact's on their stamps. Why not the United States? Surely we have rep resentative women enough. There was Dorothea Dix, for tustance, whose work for the insane marked an era; Maria Mitchel, whose pure mentality and magnificent reasoning faculty made her preeminent; Frances Wll-lard, whose reform work claims recognition; not to mention our many noted literary women. There is also a dusky face well worth considering, face ot a woman who holds a unique position in our history and wbo had much to do in keeping alive that struggling English colony on the James river why not her face? Why not Pocahontas? Julia Fraser In the Ladies' Home Journal.
