An article advocates that real attractiveness comes from health not just looks. It claims clear skin, bright eyes, and vivacity reflect wellness and that neglecting health damages a woman, with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription offered as a cure for female troubles, improving strength and confidence.
The column reflects on Phoebe Cousins and leading suffragists, praising brave women while noting fatigue in reform efforts. It mentions health and home economy education efforts, public school arts rooms in Boston, and remarks on women’s roles in politics, work, and domestic life.
A reminiscence from Putnam County reflecting on a 72 year old farmer who values contentment and independence over wealth. The piece discusses rural life, modest acreage, and the idea that true success lies in a balanced life and lasting contentment rather than rapid wealth.
A prominent Grange member urges more open meetings to recruit outside farmers. He argues clear aims, vital topic discussion, good music, recitations, and personal outreach to overcome prejudices. The piece emphasizes transparency and that Grange objects are public and open to all.
The article describes anchoring end and gate posts for taut wire fences using deep posts with an iron rod or rope braced at a 45 degree angle, then adding a top post and securing the brace. It briefly notes a neighbor's barn cleaning aid avoiding manure buildup beside a building.
A rural column discusses farm practices from feeding and breeding quail to bug control, hay prospects, and potato care. It includes tips on remedies for animal bloating, saving old iron, and growing sweet potatoes, with commentary on farmer organization and a polemic on free silver.
An old newspaper advertisement asserts that prolonged neglect of the stomach and bowels causes a tired feeling and claims Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can restore vitality. It promotes a 100 bottle supply and mentions a Dr Powell endorsement.
The advertisement extols Hood's Sarsaparilla as the largest selling blood purifier with claims of a permanent cure and easy-to-take Hood's Pills for indigestion and headache. It contrasts with a Chicago Times-Herald editorial criticizing Australian ballot counting practices and urging strict compliance to the law to avoid miscounts in elections.
