Treating Wrong Disease. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this wav they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some uterine disease. I’ho physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages this prac tice until large bills are mad#. The suf fering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medielno like Dr. Pierce’s Fa vorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort in stead of prolonged misery. It has been well said, that "a disease known Is half cured.” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Is % scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate system. It Is made of native medicinal roots and Is perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the system. As a powerful invigorating tonic "Fa vorite Prescription” imparts strength to the whole system and to the organs dis tinctly feminine in particular. For over worked, "worn-out." "run-down,” debili tated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop girls,” house-keepers, nursingmothers, and feeble women gen erally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Is the greatest earthly boon, being un equaled as an appetizing cordial and re storative tonic. As a soothing and strengthening nerv ine "Favorite Prescription" is unequaled and is invaluable in allaying and sub duing nervous excitability, irritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, St. Vitus’s dance, and other distressing, nerv ous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the uterus. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets invigorate the stomach, liver and bowels. One to three a dose.

The power of the cradle song in the making of a musical race, and the pos sibility that American husbands will have to be depended upon to bring about a revival of the "Rock-a-Bye Baby,” was brought up today by Frank Liamroseh. as the luncheon of Ihe Mendelssohn Glee club in Delmonlco's was reaching the "Home, Sweet Home” point. Mr. Dantrosch said that the folk songs of Germany. France, Russia and other countries expressed the yearnings of the people, and that they came from the cradle songs of the mothers of men. “We have no folk songs in America,” he said. “The nation is young, and the race is just forming. There is, too, an absence of the cradle songs. May it not be that the time has come for the new man, who will find the best in music in such organizations as this, and transmit it to his home, where it will in time develop into the cradle song?" But the luncheon had been so rich with melody, ranging from “Hail, Hall, the Gang’s All Here," to MacDowe'l’s “Crusaders,” and the feast had been so complete that there were singers at the tables who expressed grave doubts of the policy of starting any cradle song movement at least for several days. A LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES. Inducements Held Out by Western Canada Are Powerful. A recent number of the Winnipeg (Manitoba) Free Press contains an ex cellent article on the prospects in West ern Canaria, a portion of which we are pleased to reproduce. The agents of the Canadian Govern ment, located at different centres in the States, will be pleased to give any fur ther information as to rates, and how to reach these lands. “Just now there is a keener Interest than ever before on the part of the outside world in regard to the claims of the Canadian West as a field of set tlement At no previous time has there been such a rush of immigration, and the amount of information distributed broadcast is unprecedentedly great. “In the majority of the States of the Union and in Great Britain the oppor tunities for home-making and the achieving of even a modest competence are at the best limited. Moreover, ac cording to the social and industrial con ditions prevalent in those communities, the future holds out no promise of bet ter things. It is not strange, then, that energetic young men should turn their eyes to Canada’s great wheat belt, where every man can pursue fortune without the hindrance of any discour aging handicap. “The inducements held out by West ern Canada are powerful and made manifest by the great movement now in progress. That the prospects are considerably more than reasonably cer tain is borne out by the history of the country and its residents. The prom ise of gain is powerful, but when added to it there is the prospect of a corre sponding social and civil elevation, it ; should prove Irresistible to young men of a particularly desirable class for any new country. The Canadian West is alive with op portunities for the young man who aims at becoming more than a mere atom in the civil and national fabric. Some of the eager young fellows, who arrive on the prairies daily, are des tined to become more than merely pros perous farmers. In the near future great municipal and Provincial develop ment will be in the hands of the peo ple. The stepping stone to both finan cial prosperity and civil prominence is, and will be, the farm. For every pro fessional opening there are hundreds of agricultural openings. Tile Cana dian prairies are teeming with oppor tunities for the honest and industrious of all classes, but they are specially inviting to the ambitious young man who seeks a field for the energy and ability which he feels inherent within him. The familiar cry of ‘Back to the soil!’ is more than a vain sounding phrase when applied to Western Can ada.’’ HINTS FROM THE HIRED MAN. The man who yells at the horses and jerks them by the bits ought to be kicked off the farm. The best man I ever worked for taught me the value of reading things about my work. After I had learned to be a pretty good farmer in this way, he raised my wages, because, he said, "I don’t want to have to teach another man in your place.” No man who is willing to work full time during the rush season, who helps the owner to plan, shows an interest in his work, and keeps himself clean in mind and body will ever be out of a job. Don't try to drink all the whisky in town. It’s too big a job for any man. 15e fair with the boss but don’t be a slave. No fair man will require it. Give the women folks a lift any time you can. They will help to smooth your way in return. Don’t be a crank. Keep your body and clothes clean. If there is no bath tub in the house rig up one from a barrel in the barn or woodshed and buy a dozen bars of soap and a dozen bath towels. They will make you glad you are alive after a hard, hot day's work. Be cheerful. The day will pass more quickly if your heart is singing. "Laugh and the world laughs with you;” kick and you kick alone. Don't be afraid to help out in chores on holidays. Give everybody a little lift at such times. It pays. The man who brags about the big things he can do soon becomes the butt of the neighborhood. Save a little of your wages every month. The rainy day may come. Always keep in mind the day when you will be your own boss and hire other men. I go to every institute meeting in our county and I generally learn something. CREAM CAKE. Four eggs, whites and yolks beaten 1 separately, two teacups of sugar, one i cup of sweet cream, two heaping cup 1 fuls of flour, one teaspoonful of soda; mix two teaspoonfuls of cream of tar tar in the flour before sifting.

The earth floor Is considered better than a wooden one, for the latter is usually damp. Don't have holes in the side of your hen house, and you will not have a hole in your pocket. This is the season when advice Is free as to how to set a hen. Many overcome It by buying an incubator. Ten hens are enough for one active rooster, so that tho chanticleer need not be accused of being a Mormon. The constantly increasing demand for beef scraps has caused the price to advance to almost a prohibitive fig ure. The turkey crop grows annually less. It seems as if turkey growing on a large scale could be made very profit able. There is a fascination In showing birds and taking a prize from a dozen competitors. Moral: Get busy for the next show season. Don't be cruel to the old hen that wants to set. She is simply trying to carry out "Teddy" Roosevelt's Ideas against race suicide. The simple life on the farm will have to be abandoned for the time being, for the strenuous days of the hatching sea son are on. Encourage your sons and daughters to take an Interest in poultry. Along with the American mother, the Amer ican hen is the backbone of the coun try. When you blow about your chickens, don't give eleven hens an average of twenty-four eggs a day. There are some people who will not believe the story. The fellow who says, "Well, I didn’t expect to win, for my birds were just picked out of the yard.” is the biped who makes trouble for the man in the duster. Do not overfeed your fowls and make them lazy. There are enough gourmets on earth in other walks of life, and man is the chief being in this particu lar. The main trouble in poultry culture comes from the fact that few of the thousands who take up the Industry have a correct idea of the conditions that bring success. More incubators have been sold this season than ever before. This is not Inscribed as a news item, but merely to fill space. Everybody knows that the standard bred stock industry is in creasing, year after year. It is a wise hen that knoweth Its own chick in these strenuous days of incu bation.—American Fancier. SOME GARDENING SUGGESTIONS. Feeding the soil is the first and most important requisite, for without rich soil that can be easily pulverized it is impossible to successfully raise plants so tender in their infancy as garden vegetables. In preparing ground for the garden carefully consider the con dition of the soil and the needs of the plants. Fertility is plant food and the soil must contain, nitrogen, potash, phosphate, humus and moisture in lib eral quantities to fully supply the needs of the plant. Good barnyard manure, worked into the soil, and wood ashes applied as a top dressing, will supply these needs. Not only must the soil supply these food elements, but they must be thoroughly mixed with and incorporated in the soil to become available as plant food. Therefore let the ground be heavily manured and every square inch, for a foot in depth, well pulverized; the surface should be smooth and even and if the soil is very loose and light, roll the ground to make it firm and compact. Moisture is the chief element in both plant and fruit and is hardest to supply at the time and in the manner needed; deep, rich, pulverized soil retains spring and summer rain and acts as a reser voir for this surplus moisture, until required by the plant in forming new roots, leaves and fruit, ltlvery line root ! let is a constant sucker, severely tax ing even the best prepared soil for its sustenance, while in poorly prepared soil It literally starves to death. It has an animal nature, requiring food and drink as we do. It is almost human in its appreciation of good care. A fruit plant with its roots exposed to the wind and sun will die as soon as a fish out of water. When transplanting, keep the plants cool and moist until set in the ground. In setting, trim ends of roots and broken parts, spread roots out in their natural position and press fine, moist dirt firmly about them. With strawberries, have the dirt just even with the crown of the plant, with no roots exposed and ro dirt over the top of the plant. Cultivate, hoe or rake around plants immediately after set ting and every few days thereafter throughout the season. Take a little more pains with the garden this year than ever before and learn to know what a luxury a good garden planted with a large variety of carefully cul tivated vegetables is. I'oo many farm ers do not know this because they have never had one. Their Prerogative.

For the fourth time since the Olympic games were revived in 1890 the strong men of the United States have triumphed over the athletes of the rest of the world. The games ended yesterday In the Stadium at Athens and the team that displayed the shield of this nation for an athletic em blem carried off the greater part of the honors. In 1896 at Athens, in 1900 at Paris, In 1904 at St. Lsauis and In 1906 at Athens once more the United States has been triumphant. Perhaps It is cause for regret that the United States failed to carry away the trophy for the Marathon run. Anyhow, It fell to a neighbor of ours, as Herring of the Dominion of Canada was the fastest man over the historic course. LIMB RAW AS PIECE OF BEEF. Suffered for Three Years with Itching? Humor—Cruiser Newark, U. S. N., Man Cured by Cuticura. “I suffered with humor for about three years off and on. I finally saw a doctor and he gave me remedies that did me no good, so I tried Cuticura when my limb below the knee to the ankle was as raw as a piece of beef. All I used was the Cuticura Soap and the Ointment. I bathed with Cuticura Soap every day, and used about six or seven boxes of Cuticura Ointment. I was thoroughly cured of the humor In three weeks, and haven’t been af fected with it since. I use no other Soap than Cuticura now. II. J. My ers, TJ. S. N., U. S. S.

Norman Hapgood, the distinguished Journalist and essayist, was discussing American newspapers. ‘‘It is not enough that our papers shall tell the truth,” he said. ‘‘Truth telling In itself Is not particularly wise nor praiseworthy. Indeed, it Is some thing the reverse. “Thus a young man called on a young lady one spring morning very early. He had his automobile along. He wanted to give the young lady a morning spill through the country. “A little girl, the young lady’s niece, answered the bell. *' ‘Is your auntie in?’ said the young man. “ ‘Yes, sir.' said the little girl. “That’s good. Where is she?’ he went on. “ ‘She’s upstairs,’ said the little girl, ‘In her nighty, looking over the balus trade.’ " The British Premier in Stone. From Good Words.

From the Pacific Fruit World. Some owners of forests of valuable woods are trying experiments in the southern part of Mexico with walnut trees. It is not generally known out side the trade that there ure many kinds of walnut woods and that only part of them have so far been consid ered valuable from the commercial point of view. Now the scheme Is to make these less valuable or worthless walnuts commercially valuable. And the process Is a curious one. It consists of opening the roots of the trees and Inserting one or more nuts, which are quite small, from the : best varieties of walnut trees. It is said that these nuts, which are care- | fully sealed In wax or a stiff, water- j proof stopper. Impart a new or closer1 grain and coloring to the tree. The Southern Indians of Mexico have for centuries been In tho habit of se curing curious effects In coloring on fine woods by Inserting In the above manner nuts of other trees Into the roots of the living tree. An enterpris ing planter In Tubnsco has been fol lowing out this Indian Idea with curl- , ous results. He mentioned tills to oth er haciendados, and now several of them are experimenting with the coars er kinds of walnut trees with encour aging results. _ Mrs. Windows bootsjiso srr.rr ror CThtMrea Ceathing; nofloni the gums, reduce!* inflammation, at laj* pain, cures wind onlic. iti. cent aooltla BOILED~CHICKEN.
