mo person need die of grip not
only that but no one need ever be
sick enough from grip to have to go
TO bed or quit his usual occupation !"
said Dr. Leslie T. Kelley at the Audi
forum recently according to the Chit

form, but it will break up many of the
complications arising from it 1t is
as absolute a specific for grip as
quinine is for ague.
Il do not claim any particular credit
as discoverer in this case My opia-
ion as to the value OF asafetida as

ence with it for that purpose. When
the grip first came westward three
years ago we had our proportion OF it

was good deal of it. in fact and it

In the action OF the medicine. In all
the attacks of grip among our peo-
pie at Dwight we did not lose case.
l am satisfied that asafetida taken in
good-sized doses and continuously is a
specific for the Crap and its compli-
cations.
"a particularly valuable quality OF
this specific is its cheapness sim
plicity and harmlessness. You can
not take too much of it. No matter

grains of asafetida to be taken each
day. If you take fve-grain pills in
stead of four grain pills, so much the
better 1t can't hurt and will certain
ly do you good.
LAS said. my belief in asafedita
as specific for grip is not theoret-
ical or fancifuL 1t is founded on a
constant use OF the remedy for three
years past with unfailing satisfactory
results. i have recommended the use
OF the remedy to several, both pro-
fessional and laymen. and their ex-
perience, as far as i have hoard, has
been in line with my own The rem
edy attacks the disease at once and a
cure is generally affected. But where
the disease proves obstinate the rem
edy must be used freely, continuously
and persistently. If that be done. it
will be found that asafedita used as |
have prescribed, is specific for the
peculiar disease called grip.

A story is going the rounds OF
dear old Northern general. more
noted for fighting capacity and good
ness OF heart than for eloquence, who
at a recent dinner had to propose the
toast OF the (say) 126th New York
regiment The gentleman made a
rambling but highly eulogistic speech
and concluded by saying:
Here's to the gallant 126th New
York regiment the last to reach the
field and the first to leave it "
He sat down amid shout OF laugh
ter, and then, seeing his mistake he
strove to rectify it.
Gentlemen" he said. "you must
forgive me for the slip / have just
made The toast l wished to pro-
pose was: Here's to the gallant
10th New York regiment equal to
none"
There was another burst of laugh
ter and the general rose for the third
time, but his words were lost in the
noise and merriment and the toast
was honored as he had proposed it.

Linn, Bean Poles.

Few things are more profitable to
the market gardener than the lima
bean, and even in the unpretentious
gardens of the amateur no vegetable
gives so much satisfaction to grow.
Possibly the reason why the lima bean
grower is better paid for his crops
than the grower of other vegetables
is on the account OF the difficulty to
get poles for the vine to run on. This.
OF course prevents competition TO the
extent that it does when there is no
difficulty to overcome. The Popular
Gardener gives an illustration OF the
plan by which the poles may be saved.
Any light rods, like for instance, a
long broom handle, which would be
too smooth for the ordinary vine to
hold fast to. is employed and placed
in the centre of place occupied by
four hills the hills being about three
feet away from the base of the pole;
a string is then led from each hill TO
the top of the pole, so that one pole
does for four hills. The vines are
represented travelling up the strings
when the growth is completed. each
set of poles looks like shelter tent
The lima bean usually requires some
thing stronger than a tender Irvine to
attach its strong coils around. and we
should not have supposed that they
would climb up these slender sup
ports very readily. But as the
description is said TO be from an
actual case, we take it for ganted
that it is thoroughly practicable. -
