“JUDGE’S” FARMERS UP-TO-DATE. The Portland Oregonian recently had gome entertaining remarks on, a Milwau- kee farmer who lights his farm buildings aod grounds with electricity generated a the place, the lighting arrangement teing perfected so that light can be tumed on at any part of the farm from the residence. The Oregonian is im- «| by this spectacle. The “ electric- nt farmer” strikes it as something so pocel in the field of agrarian enterprise that its emotions possess it entirely. Clos- ing the panegyric, the Oregonian ex- cuims: “ There are very few farmers of the JUDGE type in this vicinity, but the sumber of scientific farmers is increasing pidly.” Now, why did the Oregonian fin: it aecessary, in the discussion of scientific electric-light farmers," to slap at JUDGE ? Why does he think that the JUDGE farmer is passé and out of date? JUDGE resents the intimation that his farmer is not up to date. Our agricultural interests, we would have the Oregonian understand, ae in up-to-date hands. We do not employ any but the most expert and_ac- complished farmers in this office. Many four artists are farmers, own real cows and till actual soil. They know a tree bysight and have seen green fields, some déthem even being able to tell what is growing in the green fields, We have several artists—Zim and Flagg, Flohri aed Davis, for instance—who claim they aan tell rye from wheat. We do not now of any better test of real farming owledge than this. Speaking seriously, editors of news- pipers have a way nowadays of using Jo0ce and some of his contemporary comic publications to point their meta- hors. The New York Sun awhile ago, and the staid old New York Fost, re- fered in similar manner to the ancient comic properties of JUDGE, viz., the goat, | the Irishman with his pick, the Hebrew | nd the hayseeder. ‘These editorial ut-| terances only serve among the knowing {o classify the writers of them. They show that the editors are thinking of and ving in far-off times when the goat, tal, played no small part in the comic baffoonery of the weekly papers; but voce disposed of his share of ‘these Properties years and years ago. The oat on the <lump, the hayseeder, the exaggerated Irishman and Hebrew, as as the ragged hobo, are all gone, these many ‘moons. “The types re- but they arevas different from the Iypes of comic art of ten years ago as For D, andruff and Baldness. Packer's Tar Soap Pure as the Pines Ideal Shampoo with healing | antiseptic properties. Soothes Strengthens the Hair. | ‘ecominended by Physicians. 1 Packer Mfg. Co, New York, are any of the other types in the lighter literature of the day. A word further on this subject. Not infrequently the editorial reference to the so-called American comic weekly is couched in terms of disdain. As a mat- ter of fact, the reference is totally without justification. So far as there is a dis- tinctive comic journalism in America, it is of exactly the same kind in all the period cals affecting the lighter and gayer orms of literary expression. The me writers and the same artists supply it all, 9 this paper to-day, to that to- morrow. JUDGE'S humor, all the arti- cles published in these pages week by week and all the pictures printed, is of the current brand, neither better nor worse than that of other first-class pub- lications. The attempt to saddle upon two or three publications whatever igno- miny may be supposed to attach to exclu- sive humorous art is misdirected and misinformed. But editorial opinion is not to be coerced. Sutfice to say that the aforesaid goat, the weird and griev- ous distortions and caricatures of other days, and all the clownish comicry of which the editors speak as if it were still current in these pages, are not here and have not been here for a long time past. As for being stuck-up, lots of people are perfect sticks. —£. KNIFED.- COFFEE KNIFED AN OLD SOLDIER. An old soldier, released from coffee at seventy-two, recovered his health and tells about it as follows : “T stuck to coffee for years although it knifed me again and again. About eight years ago (as a result of coffee-drinking which congested my liver) I was taken with a very severe attack of malarial fever. “Lwould apparently recover and start about my usual work only to suffer a re- lapse. After this had been repeated sev- eral times during the year I was again taken violently ill, ‘ “ The doctor said he had carefully stud ied my case and it was either * quit coffee or die,’ advising me to take Postum in its place. I had always thought coffee one of my dearest friends, and especially when sick, and I was very much taken back by the ‘doctor's decision, for I hadn't sus- pected the coffee I drank could possibly use my troubles. “1 thought it over for a few minutes and finally told the doctor I would make the change, Postum was procured tor me the same day and made according to directions ; well,[ liked it and stuck to it, and since then I have been a new ian, The change in health began in a few days and ‘surprised me, and, now, al- though I am seventy-two years of do lots of hard work, and for the past month have been teaming, driving sixteen miles a day, besides loading and unload- ing the wagon. That's what Postum in the place of coffee has done for me. 1 now like the Postum as well as I did coffee. «TL have known people who did not care for Postum at first but after having learn- ed to make it properly according to direc- tions they have come to like it as well as coffee. I never mist a chance to praise it.” Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich. Look for the little book, Wellville,” in packages. The Road to HIS SPEECH. “Hullo, old chap!

Why Doctors Say Drink Pabst Beer Because It Is Clean, and They Know the Importance of Clean Food and Drink. We have found by careful inquiry that doctors, in perhaps the large majority of cases, prescribe Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer because they know of its absolute purity and positive cleanliness, «It ts the clean- est beer in the world,” said one of Chi- cago’s leading doctors the other day when asked about it.“ What appeals to me,” he said, “is the Pabst process, so very different from all the rest. We doc- tors appreciate sterilization, and we are teaching the people in their homes the val- ue of sterilization, On almost every visit we make we emphasize that, I have vis- ited all the breweries of importance in the country, and I must say that for abso- lute cleanliness there is no beer to equal Pabst. I prescribe it in my practice and drink it myself. In our own homes we insist most There Everywhere When you speak of a “ ten- cent cigar” you mean a cigar that costs you ten cents. ‘The same cigar is to the manufacturer a“ $4o per M.," or 4c. cigar, to the job- ber a “$50 per M.,” or Sc. cigar, and to the retailer a + $60 per M.," or 6c. cigar. Intrinsically that cigar is worth as much when the manufacturer appraises it at $40 per M., as it is when the retailer hands it over his counter as a “ten-cent straight." The difference be- tween gc, and toc, is what it costs to get the cigar fror the manufacturer to you along the old-fashioned trade turn- pike with three tollgates. Now, suppose you go to the maker of your cigars and say to him: | “Sell me my cigars at wholesale and I'll take them home myself across lots.” “Oh, no," he will reply, * that wouldn't be fair to the er who has bought my cigars to sell at retail price.” Tam a maker of cigars who has never sold a cigar toa jobber or retailer to sell again. Hence I am unde no obligations to the trade Linvite the patronage of the man who objects to paying for the privilege of allowing a re- tailer to sell him a cigar strenuously upon our food being clean. Ifwe stop at a hotel or restaurant where | the food or the dishes are unclean, we re quite likely to change boarding-places, next time, Are we as caretul of what we | drink? Purity is essential. We w the best always and especially do we| want it if impurity or adulteration means harm, But is not cleanliness in the preparation of our food or drink of equal importance? We think so, and we be- lieve our readers agree with us that when we drink beer we must know it is not only absolutely pure and wholesome, but that it is absolutely, clean, Pabst Beer, as we said before, is recognized by doctors as the cleanest beer. The aging of Pabst Beer is another int wherein the great Pabst brewery excels. Pabst is the perfectly aged beer. Not a bottle or a keg ever leaves the brewery until scierice and the test of time shows it fully aged and mellow.
