World To See Every user of " Fruit.astives" knows exactlywhat is being taken. The formula of this famous fruit medicine is printed plainly on the outside of every box, We have stated many times—and now state clearly—that "Fruit.a-tives is made of the juices of apples, oranges, figs and prunes, with valuable heart and nerve tonics and antiseptics. Everyone knows that fruit juice is healthful—but perhaps some do not understand why this is true. Fruit juice consists of about gz% water, 8% of sweet prineipIe, and 1% of a bitter substance. It is the quantity of bitter principle in fruit that gives the fruit value as a medicine. An eminent physician of Ottawa, after years of experimenting, found a method of increasing the bitter principle in fruit juice, thus increasing the medicinal or curative qualities. The juices are first extracted from, fresh, ripe oranges, apples, figs and prunes. By a secret process, some of the sweet atoms are replaced by the bitter. principle. Then tonics and antiseptics are added, and the whole made into tablets, now known far and wide as ' Fruit-a-tives." "Fruit a-tives " is the only medicine in the world that is made of fruit juices, and is one of the few remedies that have let their composition be known from their introduction to the public. " Fruit-adives " is nature's stimulant for the liver, bowels, kidneys and skin. In cases of obstinate Constipation, Liver Trouble, Indigestion, Backache, Rheumatism, Headaches and Impure Blood, this wonderful trait medicine cures when everything else fails. "Fruit -a -ti es" is sold everywhere at 5o0. a box, 6 for $2.5o, or trial box, eec., or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price by Fruit-a-tives Limited. Ottawa. HOW TO SE LECT FISH.

'Flat fish should he .selected by their 'thickness. Fresh smelts have an odor •of newly cut cucumber. which they ilose within twelve hours after being 'cut Fresh salmon has between the 'flakes a creamy white curd, which isolidifies in twenty-four hours. It lehould be well covered with very ',bright scales, and the flesh should be soat•-a slaright...ted....Coler„ iwholesome BO. It should be of mid- dling size, thick and of a creamy white color. In choosing lobsters take the 'tail and pull it away from the body. it is elastic and springs back, the 'lobster is fresh; if not, it is stale. Lob - raters and crabs are tested by weight, sthose of medium size having the finest rilavor. The varieties of fish available for food in this country are numerous and excellent; those containing the least fat are the most easily digested. ahe flesh of fish contains fibrin, gela- tin and albumen in small proportions, 'mineral matter and water in larger. All fish out of season are unwhole- some and sometimes .positively inju- rious. It is said that fish are fully as enutritious as animal food, and, though 'they may not have such a satisfying ,effect upon the stem -feta that arises :from their being so easily digested. 'The following are two fish recipes ewhich Miss Neil recommends: Casserole of Fish. Pound half a pound of cooked white. fish and add a slice of bread which this been soaked in a little milk.

Horses and mules have stood bard work well all summer, such as breaking prairie, with no grain but • milt). Horses doing heavy farm work, should be given three .good feeds of milo grain a day. Milo in the head is usually fed, one-half wore • heads being given at a feed than would be given ears of corp. Most teamsters prefer to feed mile in the head to horses, cut ting tho main stem off close to the head. The male stem of the head and the •many little stems that hold the seeds force the horses to do a large amount of chewing before the feed can be swallowed, and this mastication grinds the grainand mixes it with the saliva, greatly increasing the pro - Portion digested.
