SUMMER COMPLAINTS
KILL LITTLE ONES.
At the first sign of illness during
the hot weather give the little ones
Baby's Own Tablets or in a few
'bouts he may be . beitond aid. These
'Tablets- will prevent summer com-
plaints if given occasionally to the
well child and will promptly relieve
these troubles if they come on sud-
denly. Baby's Own Tablets should
always be kept in every home where
there are growing children. There is
no other medicine as good and the
mother has the guarantee of a gov-
ernment analyst that they are abso-
lutely safe. The Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
"DE DUCKS" GET FARMER'S
CASH FOR CORN CROP.
De ducks got all the farmers' money
that he had received when he sold
his corn recently, and trying to ex-
plain to a local banker the necessity
of a loan to tide him over a lean
period, the niceties of market prob-
lems as faced by the farmer now
were outlined.
"But," said the banker, "I don't un-
derstand why you should want to bor-
row money when you have just ship-
ped your corn; what did you do with
the money?"
"De ducks got it," replied the
farmer.
"What do you mean by de ducks?"
"Well," explained the farmer, "I
shipped the car to market and sold it
for 52 cents. They de duck freight,
that left 31 cents; de duck 1 cent
commission, that left 30 cents; de
duck elevator charges, that left 27
cents; de duck husking, that left 15
cents; de duck hauling, that left 5
cents; de duck the hired man's wages
from that and you are a darned sight
better farmer than I am if you tan
find anything left."

----A quiet but very pretty wedding
was solemnized in Smith's Hill Pres-

16th, when Minerva Elizabeth, only
daughter of Mrs. Thomas MacPhee,
of the 8th concession, Colborne town-
ship, becarde the bride of Dr. Alex:
Ernest Barnby, of Hamilton. The
church was Beautifully decorated for
, the occasion with ferns and sweet
briar by girl friends of the bride.
The ceremony was perfcrmed by the
pastor, Rev. R. J. Rots. To- the strains
of the Lahengrin wedding march play-
ed by Miss Bessie Barnby, sister of
the grown, the bride entered the
church leaning on the arm of her
brother, Mr, Gordon MacPhee. She
was prettily gowned in pink silk and
wore a bridal veil caught up with
orange blossoms. She carried a bo-
:;uet of sweetheart roses and sweet
peas, and wore the groom's gift, a
landsome string of pearls. Little
'ean Walter, cousin of the bride, at-
:ired in a pink mull dress, with hat to
match, and carrying a basket of
sweet peas, performed the duties of
flower girl. Mr. R. M. Youpg, on
behalf of the congregation, presented
the bride with a Bible, this being the
first wedding performed in the church
since its erection nearly fifty years
ago.

She was nit so shy, nor yet en

rather impatient,

More and more he looked like a

stand it no longer. He licked his dry
lips and croaked: "Euphemia. Eu-

"Yes, Herbert," she sighed. Her-

"Euphemia, there is something I -I
must tell you, something • ."
"Yes, Herbert?" encouragingly.
"Something, Euphemia, that I do
not think you have realized."
Euphemia tried to look coquettish.

"Then you know?" he gasped.
"Know what?" she asked, coyly.

Toward the end of the' summer,
the amateur Sower grower often
wonders, how the stock of geraniums
in the flower border can be increased
and preserved by some other means
than by taking up the old plants in
the autumn; the last named method
not. having, perhaps, proved success -
f ul in past seasons. By starting fair-
ly early, toward the end of August.
before cold chilly nights appear, a
nicesupply of young plants, more
^specially of all kinds of geraniums
of the flowering kind, or those hav-
ing fragrant leaves, or even the
bronze or silver leaved kinds, can be
-had by starting cuttings or slips of
these plants. First of all obtain a
shallow box about three Inches deep,
ten or twelve Inches wide, and from
twelve to twenty-four inches in
length; an empty haddie (fish) box
will do very well. It should have
some small holes bored through the
bottom for drainage. Pack this box
firmly with moist, clean, gritty sand;
sand that will make good stone mor-
• tar will do. Then take the terminal
or, tdp part of the young growth of
pints about four or Ove inches in
length, each shoot or cutting having
from four to six joints where leaves
are produced. Make the base of the
cutting just below one of these nodes
1 or leaf joints, making a clean cut
with 'a shatp knife flat across. Cut
off some -of the lower leaves, leaving
two or three leaves at the top. Cut
off all bloom buds and blossoms
where possible. Make a hole or drill
in the wet sand deep enough to set
fully the length of stem of cuttings
in the sand. Water them well once,
and keep the sand moist until cut-
tings are rooted, which should be iu
five or six weeks' time. The box can
be set out of doors in partial shade
until the first week In September
' when they can be taken into the
window. When cuttings have roots
about an inch in length dig them
carefully from the sand without In-
juring tire roots and pot them singly
into small 21h inch pots or set them
about two inches apart in well
drained shallow boxes ih a soil made
up of one part sand, one part leaf
mould, and about six parts of light
loamy soil enriched with one part of
dry pulverized cow manure from the
pasture field. This last is one of the
best possible fertilizers for soil for
pot plants. Set the young plants in
the window in a temperature of 60
to 70 degrees Fahr. an ordinary
house temperature. Salvia, Agera-
tum, Lady Washington Geraniums,
Fuchsias, Ireaine, Lobelia and many
other plants can be started from cut-
tings in this way.—The late Wm.
Hunt, O. A. College, Guelph.
WHY DADDY'S CHANGED
When Tommy Burns was goin'
strong, and on all sides you heard his
name, my dad said, "Son, the dope
is wrong, compared with my time,
he is tame." Said he, "they never
used no mitts, and whacked each other
with a will. The fights these days,
they give me fits, the best all lack the
old time skill." When Cleveland won
the flag last year, and trounced the
"Dodgers," easy too, my dad said, '
"Son, now listen here, (and heaved a .
sigh, as fathers do!)..I know they're
better thin the rest, but still they
don't look good to me, in my tis, if
they played 'heir best, they'd never
get a game in three." But daddy, he
is changed to dry, no more he boasts
about the past, I've waited long, but
let me say, I've got it on him gtod'
at last, I saw him testin' home-made
rye, and asked (it made my m.ther
smile). If bygone days had ,beet so
dry? I guess ':will hold him for a
while. 1
FREQUENT HEADACHES.
A Sure Sign That The Blood Is
Watery and Impure.
People with thin blood are much
more subject to headaches than full-
blooded persons, and the form of anae-
mia that afflicts growing girls is al-
most always accontipanied by head-
aches, together with disturbance of
the digestive organs.
Whenever you have constant or re-
curring headaches and pallor of the
face, they show that the blood is thin
and your efforts should be directed to-
ward building up your blood. A fair"
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will do this effectively, and the
rich, red blood made by these pills
will remove the headache.
More disturbances'to the health are
caused by their blood than most peo-
ple have any idea of. When your
blood is improverished, the nerves
suffer from lack of nourishment, and
you may be troubled with insomnia,
neuritis. neuralgia or sciatica. Mus -
I des subiect to strain are under-
nourished and you may havemuscular
rheumatism or lumbago. If your
blood is thin and you begin to show
symptoms of any of these disorders,
try building up the blood with Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and as the blood
is restored to its normal condition
every symptom of the trouble will
disappear. There are more people
{ who owe their present state of good
health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
than' to any other medicine, and most
of them do not hesitate to say so.
' You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine or by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine.

Light Fail Pruning Is Safe.
Light pruning in fall is permis-
sible, but heavy pruning is dangerous
and likely to result in serious dam-
age from winter killing, especially if
the succeeding winter is severe. The
injury is caused by drying out of the
cut area and may be prevented by
covering all wounds of any size with
a good covering of paint made from
pure lead and oil. Do not use pre-
pared paints, as these contain injur-
ious benzine or turpentine dryers. To
make an effective covering it will be
necessary to give not less than two
coats, because one coat will not pre-
vent checking and drying of, green
wood. Coal tar makes an excellent
wound covering and is easily applied.
This matter of covering wounds
made in fall or early winter is fre-
quently slighted by orchard men,
but the writer has seen eiuch serious
damage result from neglect of this
precaution that he feels justified in
warning fruit growers with regard to
the practice. In experimental -trials
In the College apple orchard, varie-
ties so hardy as Duchess of Olden-
burg, Wolf River, Snow and Scott's
Winter have suffered very serious in-
jury following November pruning
with the cuts left unprotected. The
wounds dry out around the edges
and by spring the dead area is great-
ly enlarged, frequently extending
down the trunk or branch for a foot
or more. The dead bark comes away
later leaving a large dead area, detri-
mental to the parts above and cer-
tain also to decay later.
It is not likely that injury would
follow the cutting of branches below
an inch In size unless many were
removed and there probably would
be no necessity for covering such
wounds. All above this size, how-
ever, should be thoroughly protected.

Barberry Hedge Spoiled Ten Crops.
Hundreds and hundreds of in-
stances can be cited to show that the
common barberry is the most Im-
portant factor in the spread of rust
in northwest states. In a Govern-
ment bulletin on rust and barberry,
Dr. C. E. Stakman of Minnesota Uni-
versity Farm relates the experience _
of a farmer at Crystal Bay, Lake
Minnetonka, Minn., who had a bar-
berry hedge of 635 bushes. He had
tried to grow oats on his farm for
ten years, but each year the black
stem rust destroyed almost all the
grain. Then one spring he destroyed
.the hedge before the bushes had be-
come rusted. Ten days before the
harvest the field was examined
thoroughly and no stem rust could
be found. The yield and quality
- proved to be excellent. It was the
first time in ten years that a crop
had been grown successfully on that
farm. Every land owner should be-
gin early In the spring to destroy
;the barberry for the protection of
grain crops.

England can carry four patients, a
