The human body is composed of millions of
tiny dells of various kinds. With the single ex-
ception of the brain and nerve cells, there is a
system of dividing up of tells to form new ones. In this way the blood
cells, the tissue cells, the cells of the stomach, liver, kidneys and other
vital organs may be increased so as to make up for loss or injury. But
not so with the cells of the nervous system. You have a certain number
at birth, but never airy more. A feeble, poisoned nerve cell ray be re-
stored, but a dead cell can never be replaced.
For this reason complete paralysis can never be cured, but the person
who is partially paralyzed may be greatly benefited by restorative treat-
ment such as I)r. (Phase's Nerve Food, which nourishes the feeble, wasted
nerve cells back to health and vigor.
This, undoubtedly, is the strongest reason why everybody should be
familiar with the symptoms which tell of exhaustion of the nerve -cells and
know the best means of restoring the vitality of the nerves before they be-
come dead to all treatment.
Sleeplessness, restlessness, irritability, n:rvous headaches, nervous indigestion, loss
of energy and ambition, feelings of discouragement and inability to concentrate the
mind are among the most common warning,. Later developments are known as nervous
prostration, locomotor ataxia and paralysis.
It is easy to neglect treatment in the early stages, but that is the time when a few
boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food will do wonders for you. Preventive treatment, which
is so good in all ailments, is practically the only method to be applied to diseases of the
nerves, because of the fact that a dead nerve cell can never be replaced, whereas a
feeble, wasted nerve Bell can be restored by such nourishing medication as is afforded by
Dr. C'hase's Nerve Food, Should, you desire further particulars about this great food
cure, kindly write for booklet.

Free gasoline for thirty-
three hundred miles
the Ford owner's sav-
ing in one year.
The light, economical Ford with its
smooth running engine averages about
twenty-five miles on a gallon of gasoline.
Compare this with the gasoline consump-
tion of the Sixteen -Miles -To -The -Gallon
car.
Then figure the difference, having an
eye on the present price of gasoline.
Six thousand miles is a fair season's
travel. The Sixteen -Miles -To -The -Gallon
car, going six thousand miles. burns up
one hundred and thirty-five more gallons
of gasoline than does the Ford going the
same distance.
This means that the Ford owner saves
enough during a single season to pay for
his gasoline for an additional thirty-three
hundred and seventy-five miles.
You can travel a year and a half in a
Ford for what it costs you to travel one
year in the Sixteen -Miles -To -The -Gallon
Car.

TWO POTATO BLIGHTS.
There are two distinct fungi which
produce the blight in potato, one known
botanically as macrosporium solani,
causes the early blight; the other known
as phytophthora infestants, causes the
late blight and rot.
Late Blight—Symptoms of the Dis-
ease: It usually makes its first appear-
ance when the vines of the later
varieties are in full growth. Upon the
leaves of the potato this fungus
develops characteristic spots which
cannot be easily confused with other
potato diseases.
These spots may appear at the
margin, at the tip, or even at the centre
of the leaves and spread until the whole
leaf may be involved A fine, mildewy
growth appears over the diseased area
on the under side of the leaf, especially
at the margins of the spots. The
affected tissue softens and decays. and
gives off a characteristic potato -blight
odor.
On the tuber, the disease appears as
discolored areas that later are somewhat
sunken and dry, known as dry rot.
These areas may be small or may ex-
tend over the entire tuber. The flesh
at such places has a reddish brown
color. If the infection comes late in
the season, the tuber may show no in-
dication of rot when dug, but it may
appear after they are stored.
As the fungus is carried over winter
largely, or perhaps entirely, by hiber-
nating fungal threads in the tubers,
every effort should be used to secure
seed potatoes from a field in which no
blight or rot has occurred. Bordeaux
mixture, when applied to the infected
vines, destroys the vitality of the spores
with which it comes in contact, and
thus prevents the infection of healthy
plants. It is ordinarily advisable to be-
gin spraying with Bordeaux mixture
when the plants are about six to eight
inches high and follow by at least three
to five thorough applications at inter-
vals of from ten days to two weeks
appart,
The amount of mixture to be applied
to an acre varies with the size of the
vines. Usually fifty gallons will be
sufficient when the vines are small. but

seventy-five gallons or more will be
needed as they become larger. If the
oordeaux cannot he purchased readily,
it may be made as follows: Put four
o,tnds of copper sulphate in a sack and
hang it in a wooden vessel in five gallons
of water until it is completely dissolved.
Slake four pounds of stone lime and
dilute to a milky solution. Let it cool.
Then dilute with half of the remaining
water. Dilute the copper sulphate now
with the other half of the water left.
Pour the two mixtures slowly together
and stir well in the meantime. Apply
with a pump that has brass or porcelain
lining, Follow the directions exactly
Lime -sulphur solutions must ilot be
used for spraying potato vines, as they
cause dwarfing of the plants to such an
extent that the yield of tubers is less
than from those not sprayed.
Symptoms of the Disease: The early
blight may be distinguished from the
late blight by its characteristic leaf
spots, by the absence of the mold -like
fuzz, by its earlier appearance and
slower growth, and from the fart that
it does not affect the tubers. As its
name indicates, it makes its appearance
earlier but may be found to the end of
the growing season increasing generally
as the season advances.
On the leaves the spots are brown,
circular or elliptical. The surface of
the spots is usually marked with
minute wrinkles, which take roughly
the form of numerous circles with a
common centre; this has been called
the "target marking," from its re-
semblance to the concentric rings of
a target. The spots are irregulatly
distributed and increase gradually in
number and size, till the whole leaf
is destroyed The injury from the
early blight results in an early death
of the leaves, as a result of which the
vines dry up and the losses to the
growing crop are often very con-
siderable, amounting to as much as
60 per cent.
Method of Control—Application of
bordeaux mixture is as effective a
remedy for the early blight as for the
late blight.
BOOST
Boost your city, boost your friend
Boost the lodge that you attend
Boost the street on which you're
dwelling,
Boost the goods that you are selling,
Boost the people round about you.
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you're behind them.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for every new improvement,
Boost the man for whom you labour.
Boost the stranger and the neighbour,
Cease to be a chronic knocker,
Cease to be a progress blacker,
If you'd make your city better
Boost it to the final letter.
Tired -Out Kidneys.
Kidney troubles are so frightfully
common because the kidneys are so
easily upset by overwork or excesses of
eating and drinking. Cure is effected
not by whipping them on to renewed
effort, but by awakening the action of
liver and bowels by the use of Dr.
Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. This rests
the kidneys and makes them well.
Backache and urinary disorders then
disappear.
DANGER IN GASOLINE
Do you know that gasoline gas is
seven times more powerful than dyna-
mite? asks the National Cash Register
News in an article on the use of gaso-
line with safety in the home. Gasoline
is a thin, water white liquid which
evaporates rapidly and throws off vast
quantities of vapor very inflammable
and explosive when mixed with air.
Substances like cotton, linen, silk,
especially when unwashed and undyed,
become more or less electrified when
rubbed or moved quickly in a bath of
gasoline, the gasoline being a bad con-
ductor, the generated electricity ac-
cumulates and reaches such tension
that sparks are possible, igniting the
gasoline and causing fire and explosion.
Weather conditions affect the results
decidedly, the dry air of winter being
more dangerous than moist summer
air. Gasoline explosions in garages are
often brought about by static electricity,
a fact definitely proved. j
In case of fire tight cans are liable to
explode, throwing the burning gasoline
all over the premises, thereby aug-
menting the fire. For this reason gaso-
line should be stored outside the house,
preferably in safety type cans (cans
with fine wire gauze in neck and spout.)
Gasoline used for cleaning should be
used outdoors, at least fifty feet from
any fire, light or burning substance,
never in an inclosed room. The heavy
vapors travel long distances and are
highly explosive. Never clean gloves
on the hands. The rubbing or agitating
of clothing in gasoline should be accom-
piished by means of a dry stick.
Gasoline stoves should never be filled
with a light or fire Within fifty feet of
the stove,
If Alaska's erratic coast line was
stretched out in a straight line it would
be longer than the entire United
States.

to build an electric railroad from Madrid
to the French frontier to connect with
French lines.

THE WESTERN FAIR
The Grounds and Buildings at Queen's
Park, London, are being put into shape
as rapidly as possible for London's great
Exhibition to be held this year, Septem-
ber 8th to 16th. The entire park has
been in use by the Military authorities
since last September and a lot of work
will have to be done, in order to be
ready for the Exhibition. The fine new
steel Grand Stand will be in readiness
to accomodate the large crowds ex-
pected. The management have under
consideratioti now the installation of a
new system of admission turnstiles for
both outside gates and Grand Stand.
The amusement programme this year
will be the best possible to secure and
the Midway will be away above the
average. There will be two Speed
events each day and it is expected that
the entire programme both afternoon
and evening, will be the best ever
offered. Prize Lists, entry forms and
all information given on application to
the Secretary, A. M. Hunt, London,

A UNIQUE RESCUE
Smith's Falls News—That truth is at
times stranger than fiction, and that
the scenes of daring and heroism shown
on the stage in melodrama and in the
"movies" sometimes are eclipsed by
action in real life, is proven by a story
told among the trainmen but not gener-
ally known because of the modesty of
the heroes and the traditions of the
"road." The News has the story on
good authority and could give the name
of the engineer concerned. While
running from Smith's Falls to Trenton
about two weeks ago, and near Belle-
ville the engine crew saw an object
lying on the track some distance ahead,
and the whistle was blown loud and
long. As the engine rushed on. the
men in the engine cab were horrified to
see a little girl between the rails. The
emergency brakes were instantly
applied, but the heavy cars kept the
train in motion and closer and closer it
approached the little sleeping figure.
Realizing that desperate measures were
necessary to save the child the engineer
left his seat and crept out along one
side. The fireman at the same time
put into effect the same idea, and they
met on the cow -catcher. and without a
word between them reached far out
ahead and with a strong sure hold lifted
the child to safety. She was a pretty
little flaxen -haired baby of three years
of age and had gone to sleep on the
track.
I REMEMBER
I remember, I remember,
The house where I was born;
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn.
You'd hardly know the old place now,
For dad is up to date,
And the farm is scientific
From the baek lot to the gate.
The house and barn are lighted
With bright acetylene,
The engine in the laundry
Is run by gasoline,
We have silos, we have autos,
We have dynamos and things,
A telephone for gossip.
And a phonograph that sings.
The hired man has left us,
We miss his homely face;
A lot of college graduates
Are working in his place.
There's an engineer and fireman,
A chauffeur and a vet,
'Lectrician and mechanic
Oh, the farm's run right, you bet.
The little window where the san
Came peeping in at morn
Now brightens up a bathroom
That cost a Car of corn.
Oar milkmaid is pneumatic
And she's sanitary, too:
But dad gets 15 cents a quart
For milk that once brought 2.
