Mrs Henke of Milwaukee claims persistent lung trouble resisted by doctors and other medicines but cured after using Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. She says one bottle began improvement and two years later she is in excellent condition, able to work and desires lifelong support in Milwaukee.
A faded testimonial mass promotes Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as a cure all for health and vigor. It features Mrs Anna Henke from Milwaukee endorsing the product, praising its medicinal properties and warning against other drugs, with a caution to buy only the genuine sealed bottle labeled Old Chemist and priced at $1.00.
The 1907 stamp issue will bear state and city names of the post office, intended to aid tracing criminals and reduce post office robberies. Also notes changes in product labeling, including bacon slabs and cereal weights, with references to government inspections and renamed syrups. The Jewel County Republican provides the summary of these scanned items.

A Kansas paper reprints a Missouri story about a Pike county farmer who married, soon after took life insurance, and died after a rattlesnake bite while traveling with sportsmen. The widow’s note claimed full insurance coverage. The item also includes ads and tips on digestion, insurance, and the “no pins in China” belief, with brief anecdotes and promotional lines.
A Mason Iowa Democrat item details failed twine orders and delays that harmed farmers who trusted big catalogue houses. It echoes broader worries about unreliable rural mail order suppliers and praises free rural delivery while noting its practical quirks. The piece also cites a Kansas rural route letter about salt flour and hens and mocks the overhyped promises of catalog sellers.
Kansas City markets show holiday stock receipts down from last year with cattle at 12 000 head and hogs around 13 000. Steers sold up to 36.20 with restocking and weaker Chicago prices dragging values, cows and calves firmer, stockers in demand, and Colorado range cattle fewer but marketing into next weeks. Hog prices opened higher and closed up to 6.34, with total run 13 000 and day sales 6 25 to 6 35, while beef and mutton markets show slow recovery and smaller packer stocks as the season advances.
