ADAS!
Across the fields of Long Ago
He sometimes comes to me
A little lad with face aglow -
The lad I used to be.
And yet he smiles so wistfully,
Once he has crept within -
I think that he still hopes to see
The man I might have been.
The Weed of the Week
“COMMON ST. HORN’S WORT”
The Common St, John’s Wort is a
persistent perennial weed which is
rapidly becoming established thro’-
out Ontario on roadsides, old mea
dows and pastures, states John D.
MacLeod, weed expert, Ontario Dept,
of Agriculture, Toronto.
The weed is propagated by means
of seed and slender, creeping, under
ground rootgtalks. The stems are
clustered .with wood at the b.ase, and
one to two feet high; leaves, without
stems, are opposite; flowers, yellow
in loose clusters, the petals having
black dots on the margin.,
No difficulty is experienced with
St. John’s Wort on land which is
thoroughly cultivated and which is
kept under a short rotation of crops.
Break any badly infested pasture
field and cultivate thoroughly, Do
not reseed to any crop until this
weed has been eradicated, advises
Mr. MacLeod.
Prevent seed production by spud
ding scattered plants or mowing or
spraying. Experience has proven
that this weed Will spread rapidly
and smother out all other vegetation.
Insist on having adjoining property
’and roadsides cleaned up. Spraying
with chemicals has proven effective.
Weed inspectors will give information
on the proper use of chemicals.
A fellow we know says he is not
particular about marrying a girl
with both brains and money — he
says he has the brains himself.
Check Discharges
From the Bowels
Bowel troubles, although happen
ing at any time of the year, are
more prevalent during the hot sum
mer and early fall months.
Summer Flu is one of the worst
troubles, but diarrlicea, dysentery,
colic, cramps and pains in the in
testines, or any looseness of the
bowels should have immediate at
tention.
The action of Dr. Fowler’s Extract
of Wild Strawberry is pleasant,
rapid, reliable and effectual in help
ing to check the unnatural dis
charges.
It lias been on the market for the
past 94 years, so why experiment
with new and untried remedies’?
Get ‘ ‘ Dr. Fowler’s ’ ’ and feel safe.
