Now Is THE TIHE.-Few persons are
aware OF the fact thai in canning tomatoes,
they should select the earliest brought TO
market They are vastly superior to those
of late growth, can be kept longer, and pro-
duce more abuhdaptly. Although the prices
are somewhat higher than they will be in a
few weeks hereafter. the tomatoes now Of
ferred will prove cheaper in the end than
those purchased late in the season. House
keepers would do well TO heed this advice.

fortunate should be PARTICULAR in selecting his
physician, as ii is lamentable yet incontrovert-
able fact, that many syphilitc patients are made
from inexperienced physicians in general practice;
for it is point generally conceded by the best sypi
