The world piogiesoes. Today ail-
ments that took yygeks.to treat can
now be ended in a few days. If you
have varicose veins or bunches you
can start today to bring them back
tonormal size, and if you .are wise
you will do, so. ,
Just,. get an original. bottle of
Moon's Emerald Oil at any dispens-
ing -pharmacist and apply it night and
morning to the enlarged veins. It is
very powerful dnd penetrating, and
only a little ie required.
.After a few days' treatment the
veins will begin to grow smaller and
by 'regular- use will soon reduce to
normal.
Moone'sEmerald Oil is also a mar-
velous healing agent. •
One application for instance stops
.
the itching of eczema, and a few ap-
plications • cause the eruptions to dry
up,'scale orf and completely disap-
pear. It is equally as ; effective - in
barber's itch, salt rheum, redness.and
inflammatory skin trouble,
People who want to reduce vari-
cose veins, or get rid of eczema, ul-
cers, or piles in. a few days should not
hesitate to get a bottle at once. It is
so powerful that a small bottle lasts
a long time. Any pharmacy can sup
ply it Druggists sell lots of it.

When the early settlers Caine out
from the 0113 Country, mostly from
England, Ireland. and Scotland, they
sailed in small vessels, so it took six
or seven weeks to come.. It was so
stormy, sent) - were nearly wreckeii.
Tiley had scarcity' of money and not
much clothing. Ry the time they.got
their way paid, they had"only a spade
axe and shovel loftao they ' set to
work..
First they cut 'flown some trees for,
,a log cabin, and filled the cracks with
mud. They made the fire place with
stone, the children helped with this.
The floor was tirade of gond. The
mothers white -washed the wells- .in
side with blue. clay,, Some of them-
had chimneys made of mud and•
leaves. These often caught on film.
The pioneers had windows with
,Tittle Banes of glass, If there was a
carpenter near they got him to make
the sash, and'fit the•pane in, and they
would repay by helping to Snake ti
clearing for his home. If ,them were
no'carpenters they did it themselves.
They used to sleep on .straw ticks
with no pillows. The settlers would
take the ticks up to the straw* stack
once "a year and get it filled with
fresh straw.,,
The women Worked very hard,'and
many of them had only one dress
apiece. One little girl thought she
woiild ,ivaah her only dress which, was
made' of doe. skin. One- day when her
mother was away she washed it, and
pug' it on to boil. This ruined it, so
she had to borrow a dress till her
mother' could get her another. They
had no clorthes-Tines, to they spread
the clothes on the grass to, dry.
They -,raised sheep, and had -in-
closures to keep theutfron;being,eat-
en by wolves.' They spun their yarn,
.Y. and took it to weavers to get it made
into honie-spun chilli, and, yarn for
dresses and .stockings, They made
plaited hats from straw. In order- to
make things go, they had 15 rise eery
early sometimes four o'clock in the
'morning. They went to bed at nine
o'clock or later. :
When . breakfast was, the
father got the Bible and read a chap-
ter'
and then they all knelt 'down and
prayed When 'breakfast was over
the girls Washed the ,wishes„ but the
'mother' washed the good dishes. The
.method the pioneers had :for getting
the fea}thers:from;geese or othdr fowl
was to eatch them, and plus the
feathers while still alive. They used
them for making pillows..aSonietinies
plucking them :Cour tinges a year.
When the pioneers came out 'there
were no apple trees. One farmer
found some little trees growing 111 a
small clearing, likely thee' seeds of
some the Lidians had left. There was
about twenty in all, but in a wogs or
two all died bur'otic, and the apples
From that tree are now known as the
famous McIntosh Reds.
When there were no matches one
lioy, when his father was away, had;
to put the fire on a piece of hemlock.
knot to keep fire all night. But when
he' came to do,it, he forgot to get the
hemlock knot, and of, course when he
got up next morning the fire was"out.
