BANISH PIMPLES AND ERUPTIONS in the Spring Most .People °Need a Tonic Medicine One of the surest signs that the blood is out of order is tihe plan - plea, unsightly eruptions and ec- zema that come frequently with the change " from winter to .'spring. These prove that the longindoor life of .winter has had its 'effect upon the blood, and that a, tonic medi- cine is needed to put it. right. In- deed therearefew people who do not need a tonin at this season. Bad blood does net merely show itself in disfiguring eruptions. . To this same oondition is due attacks of rheumatism and lumbago ; the sharp stabbing pains of sciatica and neuralgia; pour appetite and a desire to avoid exertion, You cannoteure these troubles by the use of purgative medicines—yon need a tonic, and a tonic only, and among all medicines there is none can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for, their tonie, life-giving, nerve restoring powers. Every dose of this medicine makes new, rich blood which drives out impurities, stimulates every organ and brings a feeling of new health and energy to weak, tired, ailing men, women and children. If you are out of sorts, give this mjedioine a trial and sec how quickly it will restore the appetite, revive drooping spirits, and fill your veins with new, health -giving blood. You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by avail at 50 cents a box ar six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Qnt. The United States Departme.ntof rieulture estimates a total loss nearly 8 per cent. of the eggs. arketed. In a recent bulletin the partment attributes this . great ss as due largely to improper ndling between the farm and the arket, Most farmer's look upon .gs as byeproduct, and the re- ins as se much clear gain. The hens forage for a living, eggs re' gathered when convenient and ept almost' anywhere. With such arelessnees and a combination of ongrel stook, dirty nests, stolen ests of .broody hens, unconfined Iles, late maturing pullets and then undesirable conditions, it is o wonder that the produot in- ludes such a high percentage of mall, cracked, dirty, .stale, heated Incl even rotten eggs. Occasionally the accumulations ,f all these kinds are taken to the ountry merchants and exchanged or merchandise, The merchant isually buys these . eggs "ease goun.t," paying the same price for al kinds and sizes, provided they are eggs with an unbroken shell, small production results in small nr infrequent shipments. ;Many cif these losses can be pre- ented by 1. Selecting pure breeds that lay nare and larger eggs, such as white eghorns, wyandotbes, plymouth pocks, Rhode Island reds, ;orping- on.s, etc. 2, Giving better care, food and. ]helter, with dry, clean, vermin- iroof nests. 3, Confining males except in The Useful 1Iotorcycle. A two cylinder motorcycle will take a 165 lib. reran, a side car with two hundred or more pounds of luggage, of farm produce, or ofpur- chases made while in town, and take them all safely.

It will get the cream to the station in good, smart time, and so• long as roads are bare of snow, will do it far more reliably than anything but the trustiest kind of a trusty horse.

A French Deputy who is serving as a. captain of artillery tells in a letter to a :friend a story illustrat- ing the bravery of the French sol- diers. During a bayonet attack a shell exploded in the advancing line of French and took off the leg of one of the soldiers. When an ami lenience attendant ran up to the wounded man the latter shouted to him :— "Hurry up and look for my leg; it islying over there. Maybe I can have use for it yet." After . the ealdier had been brought to the hospital the general commanding, who had heard of the incident, went to see the soldier and complimented him on his cour- age. "Thank you, very mudlh, my General," the wounded soldier re- sponded. "I have yet one leg for the service of my country, and I can even afford to (lose that, too." "But, my dear mean—" "Oh, I know what you are going to say," the soldier interrupted, "but really my Jegs are not so ne- HFUL CHOC-VA CANT I5meECTIors lwlfrl:b. r a - t,u.
