To be a successful wife, to
retain the lcve and admiration
of her husband should be a
woman's constant study. If

she must guard well against the
signs of ill health. Mrs. Brown

whatever It might contain. It wui

For all this multifarious ndvlee, however, there Is ery

aid Is Indeed unfortunate. We have long betlcved that this
condition of utT.itt s would comet Itself, tine of the reasons
that our young men have been so willing to leave the old
country home lias been the lack of country attractions.
This can hardly be said to hold good to-day. The trolley
car. telephone and free rural mail delivery have well nigh
wiped out the dUtlticlloiis between city and suburban life.
Another powerful factor now working for the upbuilding
of Hie country life Is the aurh uliural college. Our young
men are fast learning that fanning Is no longer the hap
hazard business of a 'former day. but Is one of the most
exacting and sclent ill.- of pursuits. With this knowledge
comes a higher respect for the vocation and a stronger
desire lo enter the Indu-dry. The tide Is thus gradually
but. surely turning, and the time Is near nt hand when
farm ti, will be lieid !n 1'ie same high regard here that It
lias Ici' b e. i in Kiig'nnii. In that country when a man
achieve", linain-ial success he at once seeks n country estate
for a home.
Mere t)i reverse has long held true, ami the city home
has been held up as the I leal. This false system of ethics
is rapidly going to the wall and a more exalted Idea of
country life is takitii i:s place. Ki.h and poor alike are
beginning lo take lo the farm. It Is the Ideal spot for n

Mtin Should Mot be Ru ed by Hi Moods.
KOTl.K, as a rule, allow their happiness to de
pend too much on moods; and these moods may
be nttrlbuted In most cases to the condition of
the body. If a man works too much and sleeps
too little one day. he Is very likely to wake up
next mornlnt; lu a Mirly humor and keep him
self and every one about him uncomfortable for the day.
In such, a case n man deliberately and with savage per
vorseness cultivates his irascibility. Instead of tijjhtinff
against the mood and beating It off. he yields lo It and
takes a gloomy satisfaction lu his condition, lie willfully
twists every Incident into a cause of offense, goes out of
his xvay to tind slights, nnd discharges his ill-feeling on
bis wife or children or employes or anybody else whom he
can bully without tear J tjciii;, un;c ;.eii i.owii. un tin-
other hand, when a man Is healthy and refreshed, and
well fed, he ben nig upon the world. Thlnijs must (to very
badly before they uiake any Impression on his htfnyauey
of spirit.
Life." Emerson wrote, "Is a train of moods, like a
string of beads, aud as wo pass through them they prove
to be many colored lenses which paint the world their own
hues, and each shows only what lies lu its focus." It does
not become a rational nuni, however, to be ruled by his
dally humors. The intellect nnd will should be musters of
the temper. San Francisco llulletin.
Back to the Farm.
SK of the most iotious problems that con
fronts the economic world today is to keep
the younj.' men on the farms. For many years
there has been a tendency to congregate In the
cities, and to such an exteut has this been car
ried that ull the vocations of city life have
been so over-crowded that to-day it is well-
nigh Impossible for a stranger to get n foodhold. For
every situation there are a score of applicants, and the
young man who has no Influential friends to render him
Btuhelort Arc Spoiled.
i:Nl a doubt, society spoils ninny bachel
ors, by maklm; too much of them. The pur
pose nf s'ti'iety is to bring the men and the
maids together, mate them and marry lliem.
Hut society frustrates Its own purpose by pet
ting nnd pampering unmarried men. It puis
a premium on the single state, at least for men.
Bachelors are made so contented with their condition that
it Is no wonder they are loath to alter It. They stand, as
It were, on a pedestal, lu heroic pose, like demigods, lu
cense Is burned before them. Then the girls complain be
cause the men don't marry. If the young women of this
generation are left old maids they may blame themselves
and the ways of society.
Society, for its omi sake, might tv make things tiupleas
ant for bachelors. I'lunari'lcil men should be forced to feel
that they have n duty yet unperformed, and that they are
received only on sufferance. They should be kept In the
background lu all events aud below the salt at table. The
married man, on the contrary, should K received as one
who has done his duty faithfully and well, und has merited
reward, fie should be favored in every possible way In
order lo point the illiTcrciic;' between his honorable Mate
and the unworthy condition of the single. Bachelorhood
r-hould be a limbo or even a purgatory; 11 stale of painful
preparation, Instead of a heaven. If things were as they
ought to be. If society were alive ( lt own Interest. ther

lite Handicap of YVca'th.
Ui:slI!;.T Kl.ItiT. of Harvard, lu a recent
address told a band of struggling newsboys
that the children of the rich were terribly
handicapped -ami they are. In a majority of
Instances tlu-ir lives have 110 purpose. They
are reared lu an environment which makes
tlieni mere show animals. They know nothing of the tooth-
aud-nnll existence which makes men. It lias not been
brought home to ; hem. as to those that are early thrust
Into the vortex of life, how much of stimggle and light and
endeavor is still needed to preserve the ground civilization
and culture have gained for humanity. They merely grow.
They sec people about them gratifying sensual desires nnd
seeking pleasure, and in loo many eases that becomes the
sum total of their life's aim. It lsfl tremendous handicap
for any one to overcome; and in the struggle for success,
fur the place of honor and esteem among the best elements
of mankind, they will tind that somehow or other they do
not possess helpful characteristics. Vim.

T
1111 sea-oa of 'iit-b i im coid is upi'ii
us. The cough nnd the sneeze and
liusiil twang are to he heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh,
the most common und dreadful of dis
eases, is a cold.
This Is the way tlie chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches colds
which hangs on longer tliun usual. The
cold generally starts in the head und
throat. Then follow sensitiveness of the
ail passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At hist the person has
cold ull tin- while Nccniiugly, more or
less disehiirge from the nose, hawking,
spilling, frequent clearing of tlie tliroat,
nostrils stopped up, roll teeling lu tlie
head and sore, iutlauieil throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at tlie
verv beginning. A bottle of Tcruna prop
erly used never fails to cure a common
(slid, thus preventing chronic cuiiirrh.
While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by n single bottle of
Teiunii, yet, us n rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly tixed, more than
uue bottle is necessary to complete n
cure. IVrnnti has cured cases innumer
able of entail li of twenty eurs' stiind
ing. It is the best. If not tho only inter
nal remedy for chronic cuturrli in ex
istence.
But prevention is fur better than cure.
Kverv person subject to catching cold
should take Termiu ut once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year nnd thus prevent
what is ultnost certain to end iu clirouic
catarrh.
