The Supreme Test
of a Healing Agent
Psoriasis or Chronic Eczema Defied All Treatment Until
Dr. Chase's Ointment Was Used.
After suffering with the terrible'
itching of Psoriasis for five years, and
being told by physicians that she could
not be cured,
Mrs. Massey
turned to Dr.
Chase's Oint-
ment and was
entirely cured.
You will find
this letter inter-
esting, and will
not wonder that
the writer is
enthusiastic in
praising this
ointment.

me, even on my face and head, and
the itching and burning was hard to
bear, I used eight boxes of Dr.
Chase's Ointment, and I am glad to
say I am entirely cured, not a alga of

this ointment enough."
Can you imagine a more severe teat

stands supreme. Put it to the teat.

LIFE.
[New York Sun.]
Life is action, life is work,
Life is battle in the field;
Round the slothful ever lurk
All life's enemies concealed.
Life is deed of heart and hand;
Life is1thought, alert and keen.
Dreamers in a shadowy land,
Rise, and let your light be seen!
Life is striving, life's a race
O'er a course both hard and long;
Toward attainment set your face, '
. Quit yourselves like men, be strong!
Forward, runners, to the goal,
Measuring not the weary length;
Hidden lies in every soul
An exhaustless well of strength!
Life is power,•and light, and love,
Stronger, brighter, lovelier grown
For the full exertion of
For every faculty we own!

HOW TO CHOOSE A WiFE.
Six hgrdred bachelors, some young
and some pretty old, spent their luncheon
hour the other day receiving "fatherly"
advice from Prof. Winfield S. Hall, of
North-western University Medical
School, on "Choosing a Wife."
"I don't see at,y bald heads in the
au,tience," said Dr. Hall, "so I take it.
for granted you all are good candidates
for marriage. By that, I mean you
have sound health, are morally clean
and can support a wife if you can win
one.
''Imagine the girls of your acquain-
tanceship lined up before you. Out of
theible osssi
p t x to twenty girls, you are
to choose a wife, Which one will you
choose?
"Four things must be •considered -
her health, her hereditary qualties, her
education, and her age. Exclude from
the ranks, the girl of poor health. It's
a calamity for a man to marry such a
girl. Some of you may say the girl
might get well. Let her get better be-
fore you marry her.
"Let her go into the woods fora year
or so and develop the ability to walk 15
or 20 miles and return without fatigue
and with Dame Nature's priceless
rouge upon her cheeks. Then you.
may marry her, knowing she is of good
health.
"Don't miarry a girl just because she
has a pretty figure and large, lustrous
eyes and is a beautiful dancer, if at 20
she has only the mind of a girt twelve
years old."
Among other suggestions he gave to
the man considering choosing a wife,
were:
Don't marry an heiress. You 'may
become unhappy with her and her
money.
Don't marry into a family where
there are traces of insanity or feeble-
mindedness.
Look up the health record of her
parents and grandparents.
Avoid the daughter of a confirmed
alcholic.
When he came to that part of his
lecture referring to the ages of mar-
riage he turned to the blackboard,
wrote down some figures, and said:
"According to the best scientific re-
search, the figures on the board show
the relative ages at which men and
women should marry."
Here is the table as he wrote it:
A man of 21 should marry a girl be-
tween 19 and 23 years.
At 25-ene between 21 and 27.
At 30 -one between 23 and 28.
At 35 -one between 23 and 30.
At 40 -one between 25 and 33.
At 45 -one between 25 and 35.
At 50 -one between 40 and 50.
At 60 -one between 45 and 00.
At 70 -one between 50 and 60.
At0-one between
8 60 and 70.
"When a man gets to be 50 years
old," he continued, "he should not ex-
pect to rear a family. I advise such a
man to marry a widow with several
children.
"When a man of 60 or more marries,
it is only for the purpose of having a
nurse during his declining years. It is
unfair for him to marry anyone young-
er than himself. He should marry a
childless widow or an old maid." -Tit -

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR IA
KEEPING ACCOUNTS.
D. H. Otis, of the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture, says that the Wisconsin
farm contest has emphasized' the
necessity of some simplb, yet accurate,
method of "keeping accounts," and
that "the work of keeping financial
records can be greatly reduced by
utilizing the machinery offered by the
banks." Of course, a farmer with any
business worth while must make use of
the banks, but if he knows enough to be
a good farmer he can decide for himself
how much he is going to depend on the
bank for the management of his busi-
ness, and it is "getting a bit thick"
when the farmer has to make out a
deposit slip showing the source of his
income. The farmer can run his own
business as well as the next person,
but when it comes to keeping books he
may be somewhat at a loss, and a set
of books so arranged as to require the
minimum of labor in keeping would be
a blessing. It has been told of a
farmer whose barn took fire that he
first called for a.screw-driver, and when
asked why he wanted it, he replied: "I
want to take off the barn door"; his
accounts were kept there. A farmer
has no time for the keeping of an •
intricate set of books, Mar has the'
owner of a big factory or mine, but the
former may just as well be boss of his
own bookkeeping as may either of the
latter.
teem:eater Ataxia,
"My nerves were very bad, and I
could not sleep at night, nor could I
control my arms and legs," writes
Mrs. Itobt. Bustard, Maxwell, N. B.
"Dr, Chases Nerve rood cured me of
what I believe was the early stage of
locomotor ataxia or paralysis. I can-
not describe what I suffered, but now
I am entirely cured."

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its 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-

Cine is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving

HOW TO SAVE TIME IN DISH
WASHING.
The time spent in dish -wash does not
depend so much on the number of
dishes as on the size of them. You can
wash and dry three small dishes in not
much more time than one three times
as big, because if they are washed
quickly in hot waters they almost wash
and dry themselves, and do not have to
be turned around and rinsed, ane wiped
with such care. It pays, in buying
one's kitchen -ware, to have an extra
number of small enameled ware utensils,
to use in setting things away, cooking
small quantities of food, and mixing
little messes such as mayonaise dress-
ing. In the use of utensils of this
ware the housewife need have no fear
of the corrosion that might take place
where foods have been stood away for
a long time. There should be at least
two little covered saucepans holding
only a pint and one skillet of the small-
er size in which to cook herbs for
flavoring, shallots, or mushrooms.
There should be a small deep pail or
two to hold the cupful of gravy you
want to save for luncheon, the soup
stock, the vegetables that are to flavor
the soup, all safely covered. There
should be a cup -shaped enameled ware
bowl and a measuring 'eup to save your
china cups. A small saucepan also
serves on occasion as a ladle -if it is
small entyugh; and a Small deep enam-
eled. ware strhiner is also useful to
haye. By having enough of these
small unbreakable enameled dishes,
and never setting anything away in a
large one, if a small one will do, you
can reduce a rather formidable pile of
dish -washing to a collection of little
bowls and pans. These can be dropped
into a hot water bath as you finish with
them, if they happen to be oily Or stick,
or filled with cid Water if they have
held milk, and will be almost clean
when they resell the suds.
It is estimated that 175,000 people
from the United States anntsallq visit
the Canadian National Exhibition.
This year, owing to the disturbed 'situ-
ditiens abroad, it is expected that the
i number will be considerably dwelled. by taiga attacks. ptow around it,--Abrahattt lr_,tncols,,,

ALFALFA ON OAT, GROUND.
How to Get it Seeded In Good Shape
in August or Early September.
A. considerable number of farmers
have become interested in the alfalfa
crop during
thelast threemonths says
the Iowa Homestead. In some cases
this is the result of farm tours made
by agricultural college workers, and in
other cases men have suddenly become
ambitious to get a stand of alfalfa be-
cause they have seen their neighbors
taking from the land a crop ranging
in value anywhere from $50 to $100 per
acre.
To all such we will say that under
certain circumstances it is practical to
prepare land that has produced an oat
or barley crop and get the alfalfaseed-
ed la good shape in August or early in
September. One must go at it in
earnest, however. It will generally
pay in the first instance to disk the
A STAG% OF ALFALFA.
stubble land just as soon as the cereal
crop is removed. It may pay to disk
it twice and then plow it four or five
inches deep. It pulverizes better if it
is disked before plowing. Those who
'are afraid of doing a little extra work
in fitting the soil should never under-
take the growing of alfalfa, because it
is a crop that needs a little petting.
After plowing it still requires con-
siderable labor on the surface to bring
the seed bed into good shape. If the
ground is cloddy it will need many
harrowings, and in some cases it Is
necessary to alternate the roller with
the harrow In order to smash the
!limps. It is generally a good plan to
harrow the surface every few days
until seeding time, because this tends
to conserve moisture, and it firms the
soil so that yon have a friable, yet a
rather solid seed bed.
When it comes to seeding use about
twenty pounds of seed per acre. Some
growers like the plan of sowing half
this amount of seed in one direction
and half in the opposite direction In
order to be sure that none of the
ground is missed.
it must not be assnmed that follow-
ing the above outline is all that is
needed in• getting a stand of alfalfa.
What we have said refers to the
preparation of the seed bed only, and
we infer that those who undertake to
grow the crop have determined in ad-
vance whether their soil is sour or not.
Where sweet clover grows well alfalfa
generally succeeds, because neither of
these crops will thrive where there is
a large percentage of acid in the soil.
�I2 it bas not been tested out with
sweet clover a sample of the soil
should be taken and tested for acid.
There is no secret about this test.
Simply get a little' blue litmus paper
at the drug store, take a handful of
the soil from different places in the
field. roll it into a mud ball around a
piece of litmus paper. In five or ten
minutes, if the soil is acid, the paper
will turn pink. I1 the paper turns out
to be partly blue and partly pink this
would indicate that there is some acid
present, but possibly not enough to
injure the crop. If the paper turns
entirely pink in color It is quite likely
that the land, for alfalfa, will need
an application of from one to two tons
of ground limestone per acre. As a
general proposition it pays to start in
with alfalfa on a small scale and as-
certain the needs of the soil.
Then, there is the matter of getting
the soil properly inoculated, which
may be done by the commercial cul-
tures, which are applied to the seed. or
the same end can be attained by
getting some soil from an old alfalfa
Sleid or from ground upon which sweet
clover has grown. Unless the alfalfa
organisms are in the soil the crop will
'have a delicate appearance and, as a
matter of fact, it will never amount to
much either for hay or fOr enriching
the soil.
It will be seen, therefore, that the
starting in on the proposition of grow-
ing alfalfa is not as simple a matter
as it seems in the first instance. One
has to become educated to it, as ,it
were, and considerable patience may
be necessary if anything like a marked
degree of success is attained in grow-
ing this valuable legume.
Use Whitewash Freely.
The free use of whitewash er kero-
'sette oil does wonders in getting rid
of mites when used thoroughly over
every bit of the interior of the hen's
home. A clean house, free from these
torments, is a real blessing to the hens.

DRUGS AND POISONS..
Popular Delusion of the Soffit), of the
'"Purely Vegetable"
"'Of all popular delusions as to drugs
and chemical cumpouuds," said a prom-
inent chemist, "perhaps the moat harm-
ful is that concerning medicines that
are 'purely vegetable.' There seems to
be almnet a universal impression
among even the educated classes that
such medicines as are composed en-
tirely of vegetable compounds are on
that account harmless, while ou the
other bond any mineral compound is of
necessity poisonous,
"Now, as a mutter or feet, not only
has tbe question of whether

Medi-
cine is vegetable or mineral not the
slightest talat1 n Co its poisonous or
uoupoisonous qualities, but in practical
medicine it would seem that most of
the common poisons are vegetable.
Look at the poisons most commonly
known and note their composition.
'rake strychnine, aconite, opium, alco-
hol, digitalis, hyoscine and cocaine,
Every single cue of these is 'purely
i•ogetable.' yet most of the deaths by
chronic poisoning come from one of
these. The must powerful poison
known, •ricine 'Kobert' one five -thou-
sandth of it grain of which will kill a
grown wait, is made entirely from the
, astor oil ben n.
"Ou the other band, many minerals,
so far from being poisouous, are not
only harmless, but soothing. Bismuth,
a pure mineral. Is given in quite large
quantities even to small babies for the
purpose of allaying intlammation.
while 'Iron is one of the most common
lollies.

Salt is a pure mineral. yet it Is not

"Of course, there are minerals that

binations• but they are neither more
deadly nor more numerous than the
vegetable poisons. This also may be
said in favor of the mineral poison. It

its action is much more certain than
its vegetable brother: rather, vegetable
poisons are much more uncertain in
their act1en upon the human system.

to occur from a vegetable than n min-
eral poison when taken medicinally.
",lust how the public ever got the
delusion that the 'purely vegetable'
was a badge of harmlessness i do not
know, but the fact remains that such
is the common belie!'." -Washington
Star.
They Used Charles Lamb.
Franking privileges in England were
i'eatly abused in days gone by. The
government employee's friends shared
in his opportunities. In a letter writ-
ten by Wordsworth in 1815 the poet
said: "By means of a friend in Lon-
don I can have my letters free. His
name Is Lamb, and if you will add an
to his name he will not open the

Art and Nature.
Art is the revelation of man. and not
merely that, but likewise the revela-
tion of nature, speaking through man.
Art pre-exists iu nature. and nature is
reproduced in art. As vapors from the
ocean, floating landward and dissolved
in rain._/re carried back in rivers to
the oeean, so thoughts and the sem-
blances of things that fall upon the
soul of man in showers tlow out lignin
In living streams of art and lose them-
selves in the great ocean. which is na-
ture. Art and nature are not, then, dis-
cordant, but ever harmoniously work-
ing in each other. -Longfellow.
A Roumanian Custom.
A strange custom is still observed in
Roumania. When a servant has dis-
pleased his or her master the offender
lakes his boots In his hands and places
them before the bedroom door of his
master. It is a sign of great submis-
,ion, and the boots are either kicked
away as an intimation that the fault
will not be forgiven, or else the serv-
ant is told to place them on his feet,
•vbich shows that he is forgiven.

It is not enough that people shall be
clad, they must be dressed. "Costly

the advice of Polonlus to his son,

is just as good today as it was 300
