1ilestones ON the Road tn Health.

The recovery of digestion and the resump-
ton of activity by the liver, bowels and kid
neys are milestones which marx our progress
on the road to health. They speedily become
perceptible when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

expeditiously consumes the distance to the
desired goal. As no bodily function can sui.

al health of the system, SO the system can

disappearance of all these symptoms through
the use of the Bitters shows with what thor
oughness it removes their cause.

SCOT VS.. wireworms.

He found the wireworm so abundant
IN every part of the garden he was set to
ultivate that he could scarcely grow a
potato or carr OF without its being
rendered useless by it; and, among the
various things he was led to adopt as pre-
ventiyes, SCOT appeared to be the only
cffectual remedy. This he applied to
potato crops in the following manner
The drills were got ready in their usual
way and the sets laid in at the end Of each
drill. The SCOT was then put down upon
hem, in quantity sufficient to cause the
drills to assume quite black appear
ance. This being done, the drills were
closed in the ordinary manner to the
natuaral level, and the work was finished.
Wherever SCOT was applied the crops
turned out clean and good; scarcely a
trace of the wireworm's ravages was to be
seen, while those from rows not dressed
with SCOT were quite the reverse, the po-
tatoes being pierced through in every
direction and fit only for feeding pigs

The process Of grinding the fat by

appearance, under polarized light, re-
mains the same, only subdivided, as a
natural consequence. Pure butter may
therefore be easily detected from cleo
margarine by the means proposed by Mr.
Taylor.
Oce specimen of butter examined by
him was highly charged with animal It's
sue and the urate Of magnolia, the crys-
tails Of which were well defined, showing
that the fat used in this case was impure,
and probably that of diseased animal.
Such practical illustration of the uses of
the microscope cannot tail to convince
the public and the government Of the
value of such Investigations. Since the
government is large purchaser of but

FACTS OF GREAT INTEREST TO ALL
TINE And MONEY SAVED.

All families are interested in their family
physicians. They may take quack medicines
for slight ailments, but when true sickness
comes, then must come the family doctor. All
are interested then in this matter, and every
family newspaper should give them valuable
information and advice
Every one knows that, in times gone by, the
great family doctors were educated in New
York and Philadelphia, but that in these days
such is no longer the case. The great cities
OF the West, Louisville, Chicago, Cincinnati,
all contain medical colleges in which the very
best education is to be obtained.
The cost of this education is far less than it
is in Eastern cities; a fact of great interest to
in medical students. Indeed, so important is
this money question to our readers. that we
must give them information which will save
for themselves and their friends both time and
money.
In the Atlantic cities student has to pay
for two courses of lectures $155 each; or 1910
for the two. His diploma fee is $50; all fees
amounting to $40. His board for two SEES
sions is $3.50, or $40 for each. His fees and
board costing 1920. These facts and figures
+ -
are official.
In Louisville, Chicago, etc., where the medi-
cal colleges are equally as good as they are
in New York, the student pays for his two
courses s65 each, or $3.50 for the two. His
diploma fees cost $50. All fees amounting to
$3.50 for two sessions. His board for two SEES
sions cost $50, or $50 for each. The entire
fees and board costing $500. These figures
are also official, and show that the student
who goes to the great colleges of the West
saves fully $500 in the cost of a frst-class
medical education. If to this amount be add
ed that of the increased cost of travel, it is
evident that $500 would be moderate est
mate OF the amount saved by him. Indeed,
students residing in the New England
and Atlantic States can, by going to irsf-class
medical colleges in the West, save from 5000
to $500 in the cost of medical education.
Surely these great money facts cannot fail to
interest every reader, and cause him to bring
them to the attention of all tudying or about
to study medicine. Parents and preceptors
will, we elsure thank us for this valuable
information.
But there are other facts now to be given
of even greater interest; facts which show
that student can not only save $500 in the
cost of his medical education. but that he can.
gain one full additional course of lectures.
That is to say, the student will, in seventeen
months, obtain three instead of two courses
of lectures, and save also $500.
Among the.many new catalogues of medi-
cal colleges recently issued, that of the
Louisville Medical College louisville, Ky.,)
is exceedingly interesting. Indeed, the facts
presented therein are so important that we
must present them to our readers.
It appears that the Faculty of the Louis
vile Medical College have been also elected

Oleomarxarine Under the microscope

Rats.

This is subject which cannot fail to
interest all poultry breeders, for the
amount CT loss directly chargeable to
their wholesale depredations is almost
Incredible. It costs as much to feed the
rats and vice OF our country as it does to
feed our p,'or, and even more. They are
left until they become so numerous that
something must be done to stop their
ravages, when raid is made on them
with terriers, ferrets, and many are driven
out of the runs or killed. This quiets
them down little, and peace is declared
until the rats again become troublesome
The most effectual way to get rid of them
is to poison them, for which purpose a
preparation of PHOSPHORUS, spread on
small crumbs of bread, is very ehectual
though nothing can be gotten in this line
which IS not dangerous to other beings
Small bits of cork fried in lard is also a
"sure pop" while corn meal and plaster
mixed dry and in equal parts, will get
heavy on their stomachs, and ere long,
cause cessation of breathing. Blu all
these things are alike destructive to dogs
cats, or poultry, and you run a great
risk If you have any young folks running
around, you may be sorry all your lite
that you ever used poison for rats. A
trained ferret to drive them from their
leads, with good terriers or shepherd
dogs to catch them when they run out,
will soon clean them up. A few farmers
or tanciers could buy, own and use a
trained ferret in. partnership, and thus
rid themselves Of rats efectually.
