There is big money to be made in raising chickens with an Incubator.
Canada exports annually millions of chickens to the United States and
Great Britain.
The consumption of poultry in Canada is increasing rapidly and the
poultry dealers complain that they cannot get enough poultry to fill their
orders.
One woman bought a No. 2 Chatham Incubator the first of March
-she had five hatches by July first and had four hundred plump,
sturdy chicks. In six months her Incubator had paid her $roo,o0, several
times its cost. A Chatham Incubator should pay for itself each hatch.
We have perfected an Incubator and brooder. We believe it is nolo
absolutely the best in the world. We have sufficient capital behind us, and
we are out for the entire business in incubators. We know that there is no
other incubator that can approach the •
ath m Incu
r
This is our proposition: To demonstrate our absolute confidence in the Chatham Incubator
v:e will send one to you, freight prepaid, and you make your first payment in October, 19os.
.The fact that we sell our Incubators in this manner guarantees them to the fullest extent,
Thirty days' trial is a delusion and a snare. If you have good luck you may get off one hatch in
that time, and even then you are uncertain, and if you reject the machine you will have to pay the
freight both ways. But with us you send in your order and we ship the machine prepaid. When
it arrives, if it seems all right, start your hatch, and we will give you until October, 19os, before
you have to pay a cent in cash. We positively guarantee that the machine is a good hatcher.
Every machine should sell a dozen, and we will, on no account, allow a machine that is defective
to remain in any neighborhood.

Chatham Incubators and Brooders have every new improvement worth while
in an incubator or brooder. The incubators are made with two walls case within
case, of dry material that has been thoroughly seasoned in our lumber yards.
They are finished in antique Oak, are built solid as a rock and will stand any
amount of usage for years. They are fitted with a perfect steel and brass
regulator that insures a successful hatch. There has never before been
such an offer as this made in the whole world. The sooner you take
advantage of this offer, the more time you will have before October,
1905, to make first payment. Cut off the coupon and send it in to -day
for' our booklet on the way to raise chickens, what it costs and your
profit. You will obtain all information regarding the Chatham

All possible pains should be taken
to destroy the germs that are given
off by the sick, so that they will Ilot
final their way into the, bodies of the

know how the paison is given off In
each special disease, and so be able,
to prevent its escape into the out-

known, but in others it is not.
In typhoid fever the germs escape
lane the body in the discharges
from the bowels and,the bladder; and
in a ease of this disease, therefore,
these discharges should always bo
treated by some powerful disinfect-
ant before they are thrown away.
In scarlet fever the poison is given
off with the dead skin that peels
away toward the end of the disease
and' during convalescence; the body
of the sick child should be kept
anointed, therefore, that the dry
skin may not fly 01T, and what Is re-
moved at each anointing should be
burned at once. In consumption the
bacillus Is contained in the Modus

chial tubes. The spitting of this

THE SIN 010 STUFFINESS.
Tn sum,mcr there is complaint of
the temperattu•e when tho mercury
rises much above eighty degrees.
Thick flannels aro discarded and the
lightest of outer garments donned.
Iced drinks are made and electric
fans sot going, and people wonder
if the intolerable heat will over mod-
erate- 13et in winter the same per-
sons bundle up in woolens and heavy
garments, and sit all day and sleep
all night in an atmosphere between
eighty and •ninety degrees -and see
nothing inconsistent In it.
The practice is absurdly iacoiioist-
ent as well as harmful. It is ex-
cused on the ground that ono can-
not incold rooms all
not sitand5 shiver o
day long', and many persons are fond
of saying that while a thermometer
may be a piece of IClelltifie appara-
tus and an instrument: of precision,
its readings do not appeal to our
feelings with anything like the ems
pilaris of the nerves.
If the atmosphere of the room
nuist be heated to eighty-five ale-
;;ices before one feels comfortable,
then up to eighty -ileo degrees it
must go. But it Is forgotten that
!such a course is only preparing one -
I self for still greater suffering, for
when one goes out into the cold with
an overheated body and damp under-
garments one feels the change most
lyittef•ly, and is also in excell 11, con-
dition for the 0h111 that prepares the
way for catarrh or pneumonia.
Tho blame for overheated houses
rests partly on the people actr.1 part-
