1t has been calculated that in the same
space of time that it took her to write
the first chapter of Genesis she could
have made seventeen pies, darned thir-
teen pair of socks, and washed the
dishes eleven times, but then making
pies and washing dishes are not re-
markable feats, and would not have
given her fame, although indulgence in
those pursuits would probably have
given more satisfaction to her family.

Brought INTO Competition with the
World, the Best Carries off

AT the great Centennial Exhibition of 1876, the
leading products Of all the branches of the Worlds
| industry were assembled at Philadelphia To
carry of prize in the face of that tremendous
competition was q task of no ordinary difficulty.
Inventions and preparations for oil evation ofpaln
and the cure Of disease were present in the great
est possible variety, representing the skill and the
profoundest study Of the age and It may be of vital
Importance TO you, personally. TO know that the
highest and only media given to rubber Porous
plasters, was awarded to the manufacturers of
BEN SONS CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER, by
the following jury:
Dir. WIN. ROTH, Surgeon General, Prussian army.
IN. THOMPSON. A. M, MD, Washington, d. C.
C. b, WHITE, NJ D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLElsCH, N. D., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by the
medical jury at the Paris Exposition. Knowing
the value of such high and unbiased testimony,
the medical profession, both In the United States
and in Europe, quickly threw aside the old, slow
| acting plasters they had been using, and adopted
| Benson's IN their regular practice. That physi-
clans and surg Gus Of the broadcast regulations did
this, distinctly proves the intrinsic M crit of the
article.
1t is no more than just to add that the average
physician OF to-day is not dominated by the pre-
judices which retarded the progress and modified
the successes Of his predecessors Of not more than
TWENTY-FIVE years ago. He accepts hints from all
quarters and endorses ard adopts demonstrated
healing SCENTS wherever he finds them.
The right OF Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster to
stand at the head of all external applications what
soever for the mitigation cure of disease, Is no
longer questioned

Creamery Butter.

The reason why creamery butter is
better than the ordinary farm or dairy
article, says the Michigan Farmer, Is
that at the factory there is enough to
keep one or more persons employed all
the time, and they are always on hand
to perform each operation at the right
time. They always have ice or cold
spring water, so as to control the tenn
perature, and every operation can be
done at the best time. One reason why
family butter cannot DO made as good
as that at the factory or dairy is that
there is not enough milk together. With
one or two cows two or three DAYS must
elapse between the cummings, and In
hot weather the cream cannot, under
ordinary circumstances, be kept good
for this length Of time, and II cream Is
allowed to become overripe, the but.
ter cannot have good favor. i
