The Only Cure

For Blood diseases is through the use
Of a powerful Alternative, such as Ayers
Sarsaparilla. By no other treatment
can the poison of Scrofula, Cancer, and
Catarrh be so thoroughly eradicated
from the system.
For many years I was troubled with
ScrofulOus Complaints. Hearing Ayers
S~arsaparilla very highly recommended,
L decided to try it, and have done so
with the most satisfactory Results. I
am convinced that Ayers Saesaparilla
is the best possible blood-medIcine."-

The Crop Outlook.

The following is the June crop report
Issued by the department OF agriculture:
There was some reduction in seeding the
winter wheat area in some states. though
the average breadth OF all was but slightly
reduced. In the East and South there
was no material loss OF area from freezing,
but in several Western states it was con-
siderable. The apparent reduction Of
breadth OF winter wheat, as compared
with hat Of last year, is about
one and three-fourths millions OF
acres. The percentage OF reduction for the
entire winter wheat region is placed at
.7.2 per cent, in comparison, with the re-
duced area harvested last year. There

the annals OF mankind-fairly bitten

grets the natural irritation which led
him to kill the reptile. We may safely
assume that it's fangs were in working
order; but it would have been moro

A lively cobra upset the program, fast

drove off for advice. Err. Macleod and

may pose; if he thinks fit, as the hero
OF an adventure hitherto unparalleled.
1t is a great pity, though, that he de-
stroyed the snake Perhaps the re-

Oath of Affirmation.

Disraeli Tor Lord Beaconsieid, as
he was known during the latter part
Of his life) was q syewish lineage. but
as to all politidQ rights he was an
Englishman. AS he did not adhere to
the Jewish religion, he was eligible to
the house OF commons, the same AS
any other British subject. For many
years Jews elected to the house OF
commons, who adhered to their re.
ligion, were not allowed to take their
seats in that body, simply because
they would not take the customary
oath which was sworn "on the true
faith of q Christian" The oath was
finally modified 40 that a Jew could
take it without doing violence to his
religious conscience.
