The Wingham Times, 1916-03-30, Page 6Page 6 THE WINGUAM TIME; The Joy of Good Health Is Now Experienced Nervousness, Dizzy Spells and Sleeplessness Are Nov a Thing of the Past. Thts is a, cheerful letter from Mrs. P»aeock, and it should bring joy to tee heart of many a reader of this ;leper, Dizzy spells teal sleeplessness are symptoms of tcrhausted nerves, and are the bug- bear of many wo- men, who do not know just what treatment to use, Yon can read Mae. Peacock's let- ter and take cour- age, for she has proven . that Dr. �5. PEACOCK. hase'°s_Nerve - Food is . n complete cure for these troubles. So pleased was she with the results obtained that she wants other Women to know about this food cure. Mrs. Thomas Peacock, 23 Hiawatha street. St. Thomas, Ont., and whose husband is conductor on the Wabash Railway, states :-"I was quite riot down in health, was very nervous, ,114 not sleep well, and noel frequent dir.zy spells. Relieving this to bo the result of an exhau-ted nervous system I be- gan using n. Chase's Nerve Food, and can say that this medicine did me a world of good. It entirely freed me of the symptoms stated above, built up my health generally, so that to -day ): feet that I am quite well again." In a more recent letter Mrs. Peacock writes:-- "Dr. Chase's Nerve Food has done me tt world of good, and I would be pleaped to tell everybody so." In nearly every issue of this paper you willefind letters about Dr, Chase's medicines. If this one does not de- scribe your ease watch tor others or write to us.

There are nearly 2,500 tractors on Kaui-es farms. A bolt now will save a trip to town during the rush season. 1n- the state of Kansas there are 70,2i) cream separators and 9,712 silos. This is a good time to look over and repent all machinery, harness, and fence:•. One-fourth of the tot& cultivated farm lands should be continuously in legumes. A wide -tired, low -wheel truck is one of the most effective labor -savers on the f arm. We will never have good roads as long as narrow -tired waggons cut the roads up into ruts. The cost of supplying running water to the home is more than met by the comfort it brings. A small hand forge is often very handy on the farm. In many cases it will pay for itself the first year. A good supply of bolts, screws and nuts will save a great many hours of hard labor later on in the season, Kansas produced nearly 95,000,000 bushels of winter wheat last year, as compared with 27,000,001) bushels in 1896. The farmer who doesn't test his seed -corn this spring will be using his land as a germination box next sim- mer. Is anybody you know going to make the old mistake of buying poor seed this year because it does not cost so much? If some of your cows waste good feed because they are not possessed of ability to make milk economically, find it out. Every day now means a little ad- vance in the price of seed. If any seed is needed, now is the time to purchase I it. Harrows, disks and cultivators should all be looked over carefully. Dull har- rows are very inefficient tools to use. Limestone in the soil answers the double purpose of correcting soil acid- ity and of supplying an essential elem- ment of plant food. It's well to remember, when digging post -holes in dry soil that a pailful of water to the hole helps immensely in the digging. • HERE FOR YOUR f Novels, Writing g Paper, Envelopes, � Ink,Playing Cards 4'# Tally Cards, Etc.

Tint soilage of the table should be 40 per eent of the Whole. Perfect, colorless stones foruz only i per cent of all the dlamouds produced. A diamond is eousidered pet'feet In formation when no flaw or imperfec- tion can be detected under the ordi- nary "loop" or magnifying glass used by jewelers. The flaws usually found aro carbon spots (where the earbon has not crystallized perfectly), Leath- ers, bubbles, hairs, flaky formation, like that in a piece of ice when struck by a hammer. The absolutely perfect stone must be free from all of these defects and cut in the right propor- tlens, The "clean" diamond is free from any flaws or iuclosnres and is most difficult to find. luny of these flaws are so small as to be impercept- ible to the naked eye and really do not affect the brilliaucy anti beauty of the stone, Do not expect to get an absolutely perfect stone for any reasonable fig- ure, for they are so rare as to com- mand excessive prices. If you want a good stone see to it that It is of good color and brilliancy and is well cut. The real requirement of a diamond is that it make a proper effect. and the minute flaws which can be found only with a strong microscope are not worthy of consideration by the ordi- nary purchaser who wishes to have a good stone almost exclusively for deco- rative purposes. 1f money is no object and you are willing to pay $500 or more per carat you may hope to secure an absolutely flawless stone, but for all usual pur- poses you are wasting balf of the money expended, Fleas, Pulex irritans, which, by the way, Is Latin and means the flea that pesters humans, can jump, according to one Mitzmain, a Horizontal distance of thir- teen inches and a vertical space of eight inches. Now, on the other hand, that puny brat, the Indian rat flea, and we have the word of the Indian plague commission for it, can broad jump only a pindling five inches and kicks the bar off the uprights if sent at a high mark of more than three Melees and an eighth. The Idealistic. Never believe that your life is going to be better and stronger if you cut out all the dreams and aspirations. The people who never get beyond their immediate vocations do not do the best work in life. There are two paths in life, the materialistic and the ideal- istic, and it is for us to choose which we will walk in. A strong life, a true life, a noble life, can never be lived by any man or woman without the pres- ence of what fools bave always called and always will call -the unreal. - Henry van Dyke. Inspiration In Dreams. Coleridge must be added to the list of authors who have found inspiration In dreams, for he himself has told us that he composed over 200 lines of the "Kublai Ishan" during a sleep of three hours. On awaking he wrote down the fragment now existing, but the interruption of a visitor bauisbed the rest from his mind. The first idea of "The Ancient Mariner," too, was suggested to the poet by a dream of his friend Cruikshank, And Kipling's "Greatest Story In the World" was but the half remembered dream of a cow- monplace young man. -London Mail. What Makes Mirrors Reflect? Mirrors that aremade of glass have metal placed an one side of the glass. The light will pass through the glass, but will not pass through the metal backing, Light has the property of bounding from a surface that it cannot penetrate, thesame as a ball would when thrown agninst a surface that it cannot penetrate. The light passes through the glass of the mirror, meets the metal backing and then bounds, from it. This bounding of the light from the metal surface is called re- flection, and mirrors are said to reflect. A German Legend. The Germans have a legend of Fred- eriek Barbarossa that be Is not dead, but in an enchanted sleep, sitting with his knights at a marble table in the cavern of Kyffhausen, In the Harz mountains. His long red beard has grown during this long enchantment and, covering the table, descends to the door, and he sits thus waiting the moment that will set him free, There he has been kept for long centuries. Where he must stay for ages. One of a Pair. The applicant for the post of butler Seemed somewhat dense, but in othet respects fainly snitable.

Practiee in declaiming the poems or the speeches of others is valuable to any boy or young man. But he can derive much more useful experience from extemporaneous speaking in de- bate, or from more formal speaking, either with or without notes, on a sub- ject that he has studied. By such practice the ordinary intelligent boy will soon acquire facility and fluency, and will overcome the self-consciousness that, unless it is overcome, may serious- ly handicap him in later life. $100 Reward. $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con- stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One• Hundred Dollars for any ease that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address: F. J.

Talre Hall's Family Pills for constipation HEART DISEASE Diseases of the heart are some- times organic and sometimes func- tional; in some cases there is a ma- terial change in the tissues of the heart itself, and in others the symp• toms give evidence of some disorder elsewhere in the body, or of a consti- tutional change in !which there is no apparent alteration in the heart struc- ture. Organic diseases, again, may be di- vided into two groups: those that are caused by an inflammation of the mem- brane that lines and envelopes the heart, and§those that are owing to the slow degeneration of the cardiac mus- cle. The inflammatory affections of the heart occur usually as complica- tions or accompaniments of rheums_ tism, scarlet fever and other acute in- fectious diseases; whereas the degen- erative diseases may follow typhoid fever, diphtheria, influenza and other depressing diseases, but especially oc- cur in consequence of overwork, worry, overeating, especially of 'flesh foods,, athletic pursuits carried to an extreme -the same things that are often responsible for high blood pres- sure res-sure and arteriosclerosis. The functional disorders are usually marked by a disturbed heart rhythm -a pulse that is too rapid or too slow, intermittent or irregular. They are the least serious of all the dis- eases of the heart, yet they alarm the sufferer ;,most because the symptoms are so conspicuous. They are often caused by an overloaded stomach, by acute indigestion, by excessive smok- ing, especially of cigarettes, and by various nervous affections. They are often useful danger signals, calling the attention of the patient to a dis- ease that is beginning elsewhere in the body, or to some hygienic fault that may lead to serious diseases of the heart or other organs. There is another form of filectional cardiac trouble in which the heart is simply "weak." Such a heart has strength only for the everyday needs Of the body, and has no reserve force to meet any emergencies that may arise; such as acute illness or unwonted muscular or mental strain, Itis usually associated with generalmuscular weak- ness and lack of physical tone, and always with abnormally low blood pres- sure. The low pressure is partly awing to the feat that the heart is too weak to propel the blood with Sufficient fficien force to fill the arteries, and partly owing to the want of muscular tone in the arteries themselves.
