Make Your Food Medicine.
The garden is a greatmedicine chest.
Be your own doctor and look to your
own slight ailments. If you are wake-
ful, eat lettuce; for affections of the
skin and yellow skin, eat onions. On-
ions are also good for coughs, colds
and scrofula; for torpid liver, eat free-
ly of asparagus; for malaria and gen-
eral breakdown, eat cranberries; if
nervous and irritable, eat plenty of
celery; for constipation, eat fruits, ripe
and healthy fruits. Fresh fruits are
good; so are figs and dates. Raisins
are beneficial. When the body is in
good condition keep it in good condi-
tion by denying the appetite what has
once injured the body. One can do
everything for himself by eating the
right thing and not too much of it,
and by leaving alone the wrong thing.
and all of it. He can • do more than
the dot tor can do for him when he is
flat on his back in bed.
To Get Rid of Freckles.
In the January DDLINE.TOn, in the
department "Good Looks," Dr. Elean-
or Rogers gives the following recom-
mendations for getting rid of freckles;
which Will be welcomed by many who
are troubled with these disagreeable
blemishes:
"For removing freckles use colorless
iodine. This can he made by adding
one part of pure ammonia to 'three of
tincture of iodine. After standing a
day or two the iodine will become
white. Apply the iodine to each
freckle with a camel's-hair brash or,
better, by means of •a swab made by
wrapping a wisp of cotton around a
toothpick, for a fresh one can then be
used each time. Apply only enough
to cover the freckle. Ilse it night and
morning :until the skin is reddened,
but not too much irritated. The pig-
ment of the freckle is deposited in the
layer of skin, 'and that must be de-
stroyed in order to get rid of the -pig-
ment. Lemon juice is very useful to
keep the skin white and .to prevent
the deposit of coloring matter, which
makes the blemishes of moth patches
and freckles."
Olt ;interest' to Teachers.
In accordance with a resolution pas-
sed in a union meeting of the Execu-
tive Committees of the East and West

retaries requested the Minister of Ed-
libation to state mare, explicitly . the

in the comprehension of the candid-
ates. .As preparation for their work

Messrs. W. G. Bissett and T. B. Car-
ling moved and seconded a motion
that a public meeting be held on Tues-
day evening and that the nomination
be adjourned until then. The motion
carried.
THE PUBLIC MEETING.
On Tuesday evening the hall was
well filled with ratepayers, anxious to
hear wbat thernembers of the old conn-
ciI and of the school board had to say
in regard to their stewardship, and to
hear the nominees express their opin-
ions as to the manner in which the
town and school matters had been con-
ducted during the year, and how these
affairs should be conducted. With
few exceptions the above named gen-
tlemen addressed the meeting and
were given a goods hearing. Besides
the usual discussion of the financial
condition of the town, the rate of tax-
ation, etc., the electric light system
came in for a good;; deal of adverse
criticism, the takuig'nver of the cerne-
tery was again a matter of difference
of opinion, and the proposal to —is'''
chase the old Pickard mill pr ,perty
from 3. N. Howard and to co. struct
a dam for the purpose of runni the
electric light plant, in case the gown
should take it over, was discuss•.d at
some length. Many and varied were
the opinions expressed as to t _ value
of the river as a water pov-er, The
meeting seemed in favor of
chasing the mill proper

was that way. .iuoweyer, many par-
ticulars were not ky own, and it was
not deemed wise o put either to a
vote. The discus&sions were interest-
ing and good, ani'1 considerable light
was thrown on tl a subject, but more
light is needed before an intelligent
decision can he c aade.
