Celery Is said to be a sure antidote
against rheumatism. 1t is said also to be a
sure cure for this disease if you eat enough

son for its free Use. But far more pre-
vailIDg reason for its Use is its too,hsome
quality. 1t ia certainly most delicious
vegetable, and why it Is not more generally
found on the table of farmers is proof O,
their ignorance of its superlstive worth a.

and skill as to the method of its culture.
In our treatise on gardening there are spe-

An Example Dhat our southern

Portland, Oregon, was the banner city in
the relief work Of last summer for the yel-
low fever sufferer. 1t is city of IA 600 in
h~oitants, and cent, in all, $1,000 which is
80 cents apiece for every man, woman and
child. This ia more praiseworthy because
there are no direct business relations be
tween Oregon snd the Southern States
Very few of the Portland people had any
per.onsl scquain'ance with thosa in the
suffering regions, and their liberaliry Was
the outcome of genuine sympathy. No city
in the Union did one-half as much in pro-
portion to populstion and wealth. II is a
city to be proud of, and has set good ex-
ample of fraternal feeling which our South
