After Suffering with the terrible` itching of Psoriasic for flue yeara, and being told by physicians that site could not be cured, Mrs, Massey turned to Dr, Chas e's Cent. tnent and was entirely cured. You will find this letter inter- esting, and will loot wonder that the writer is enthusiastic in praising this ointment. Mrs. Nettie Massey, Coll - se con, Ont., writes :-•-" It' o r Ave yoga I aut- MA$, MASSIVE. tered with what three doctors called psoriasis. They count- not help nue, and one of them told me it anyone of- fered tc• guarantee a cure for $60.0J to keep my money, as I could not be cured. The disease spread all over 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 sign of a sore to be seen. I can hardly praise this ointment enough." Can you imagine a more severe teat for Dr. Chase's Ointment ? Thts should convince you that as a cure for eczema and all forms of itching skin disease Dr. Chase's Ointment stands supreme.

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 do- ing its work The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

It is well to understand in the busi- ness world that a man's outward bear- ing has much to• do with success or failure. A man otherwise exceilently qualified may fail of a post because he has not learned the difficult art of gett- ing on with his fellows. He is quick to take offence, perhaps, or is inconsider- ate in speech, offending others, Sur- face courtesy is perhaps rightly dis- trusted; but gracious ways assumed for mere selfish ends in time defeat those very ends. In the give and take of every day, people come to know whether more kindness lurks under the brusque or the suave bearing. Yet it saves one many a hard knock to learn to elude displeasure, and to take ex- ample in self-control from the testiness of others. If for no deeper motive thanself-protection the habit of getting on smoothly with a Neighbor is worth cultivating. Said one than to another, "You never think of anyone but your- self." The other replied, laughing, "Don't tell on me, will you?''

It Destroys Bacteria and Makes the Food More Digestible. Cooking is one of the prindpal forces in civilization, and it has played a tre- mendous part in bringingimankind to the high place it now holds. The principal reason for cooking our food is to destroy disease germs. For many ages no one knew what caused illness, but now nearly all maladies are traceable to these tiny germs, many of which Are found in food and can be destroyed only by the heat of cooking. Man, owing to the very complicated machinery of his body, falls a prey to disease more easily than the animals. Consequently food which an animal can take without harm may kill a man. Cooking destroys a large proportion of the parasites, microbes and bacteria in food, thus giving man a chance to di- gest a diet that otherwise would kill him. In order to achieve the best results in the destruction of bacteria and in the increasing of digestibility meat and other foods should be subjected first to intense heat so as to form a retaining skin, as is done in roasting or broiling. Then the heat should be reduced and kept on for a long term, during which the juices gradually soften the muscu- lar fibers. This heat acts as a deathblow to the millions of bacteria which would other- wise have found a place in the stomach of the man or the woman who was to eat it. -New York American. Byron's Pet Geese.

Ohio Farmers Have Been Using Straw For Securing Stands With Success. A number of years the best farmers in a certain portion of Obit) have been nsiug straw to securea stand of clover in a manner which is both unique and positively astonishing in its results. independent of all agricultural colleges •.)r experiment stations, some wide au'alre man in that community diSeov- ered that by spreading straw on his wbeat ill the fall soon after sowing he could the following March secure a stand of clover without fail. It all 'happened. from the fact that some keen observer whose eyes had been sharpened by years of close study of the big book of nature as seen be- tween the plow handles had noticed that where there was straw protecting the thin. worn soils on the hillside the young clover plants would hold their own and develop, teller° ou the same (lay spots where there was no straw or trash the young plants would never grow. This led to the spreading of straw wberever the man wanted clo- ver, and he noticed that year after year he secured stands of clover on fields with his wheat, where otherwise he would have secured nothing. For twelve years he kept this up un- til one day a man from the experiment station happened to discover his "dis- covery" and gave this information to the rest of the world. It is scarcely ever known to full and sbould be fol- lowed by the man who has trouble get- ting a stand of clover. New Hay Stacker. A new idea for hay stackers has been invented by a young western farmer by which the trouble from wind has been overcome. This stacker is fitted up with a "trip" apparatus which au- tomatically trips tht hay to any por- tion of the stack. doing away to a great extent with the work with the hand fork, When the bay season is over the stacker may be used as a silo wagon, hauling the silage from the fields. Another feature of the new stacker is that it has four wheels apd is so constructed that buy can be loaded on the side of steep slopes without danger of upsetting. Farmer's Worst Enemy. Weeds are the worst enemy of the farmer who is farming under limited rainfall, according to a recent bulletin of the agricultural experiment station of Nebraska. It says: "In 1907 a small tract of land was kept thoroughly cultivated until the middle of June; then one-half of it was allowed to become weedy, while the other half was kept cultivated. During the latter pert of September moisture determinations were made to a depth of three feet on each portion of the tract. It was found that three and one-half inches of water had been used from the upper three feet of soil by allowing the weeds to grow. The portion which was kept cultivated had. at the end of the season. practically all the water it could carry, while the portion where the weeds had grown was as dry as it would have been bad it produced a crop of grain!" Similar results were obtained from experiments in 1908, 1911, 1912 and 1913.
