TIE LAXATIVE GUMDROP.

This new cathartic is the most de-
lightful form of laxative that has
ever been offered to the public. 1t Is
in the form of an ordinary gum drop,
and it has no medicinal taste, and can
be eaten like piece of confectionery.
The results, too, are pleasant. 1t is
the most complete remedy for dys-
pepsia, summer troubles, biliousness,
headache, and all those maladies for
which the ordinary cathartic is pre-
scribed. II acts as gentle stimulant,
not violent, but perfectly safe and Ger
tain. In this respect it is far superior
to the ordinary pill, with the addition
al merit of not being disagreeable to
take. 1t is just the thing for children
on this account and for people with
weak stomachs. These gumdrops are
put up in packages, the small ones
selling at ten cents, the large ones at
twenty-five cents. If your druggist
does not have them we will send them
to you by mail on receipt of the price,
but we prefer to have you get them of
your druggist.

AN IMPORTANT ITEM.
Have the Tools In Good Order and Secure
Clean Harvest.

Have the Tools In Good Order and Secure
Clean Harvest.
An item in making the most of the
crops is clean harvesting. 1t seems
poor economy after going to the ex-
pense of preparing the ground, securing
and sowing the seed, and giving the
care necessary to secure q good crop, to
waste more or less Of it after it is ready
to harvest.
Having the tools in good working
order is an important item in doing
this. With the small grains, and clover
and grass cut for hay, it is an impor-
tant item to cut clean and then to SEQ
that it is gathered up clean. Forcing
the machine to run over a portion, or
failing to have the sickle sharp. SO as to
leave more OF less standing, is q loss
that should always be avoided. Having
the ground clean and smooth is an i'm.
portant item in cutting clean, as the
cutter bar can be run closer to the
ground. One of the advantages of
rolling the ground In the spring is that
1t levels the soil and often crowds rocks
or sticks that would otherwise inter-

is important to keep the sickles sharp.
Clean cutting can hardly be done with
dull tools, and it will be saving on
the teams as well as secure cleaner
work il the sickles are kept sharp, and
for this reason in a majority of cases a
good sickle grinder can nearly always
be used to advantage.
Every farmer knows that at best it is
hard, slow work to grind a sickle on
common grind-stone, and II the sickle
is kept in the best condition for cut
ting, something else will be needed,
and grinder made especially for the
purpose can be made profitable.
A good rake is an essential item in
cleaning mp, and will be found
profitable investment. Cut clean and
then rake clean and the waste will be
materially lessened. The self-binder
has, of course, materially lessened the
waste with wheat and oats, but with
hay as yet the rake must be depended
upon.-Prairie Farmer.

tell this story: The ground comprises
between six and seven city lots, and the
space is divided into stalls and rented
to butchers, green grocers, etc. When
Broadway was widened many years ago,
the city condemned strip fifty feet
wide, for which sum was paid to the
owner in>excess of the original cost to
him of the entire tract. Within the
past twenty years the population of the
vicinity has been increased by fully 10O,-
900. The net rentals of the market
equal $40 900, or per cent on 100000.
Indeed, the owner refused an offer of
$3.50, 900 from parties who contemplated
building a fine hotel. The assessors
considered the property as unimproved,
and, therefore, value it for taxation at
less than s150,000.

How the Single Tax Works.

A real estate and land specula-
ton firm in Toronto, Ont, holds
tract of vacant land in the suburbs
which they rent for market gardens.
In conversation with a member of said
firm the single tax came up for dis
cussion. "That would never suit u.s."
he said. Every week these market
gardeners come in and pay uh a good
fat rent. If the tax on the land was too
high we could not hold it, and all that
would be spoiled"
Some time afterwards the sabject was
again introduced. when the gentleman
was asked if he was aware that the
single tax was actually in force to
limited extent in Manitoba, where all inn
provements on farm and garden
property are exempt from taxation, and
that the result is that vacant land has
to bear fair share of the burden.
'Yes," he answered, with a growl of
dissatisfaction, 81 should think was
We have farm up there, and every
quarter get such laundering big tax
bill that we would sell it for almost
nothing for any one who wants to farm
it."
Under the single tax the good fat
rent" has been changed into "a thunder
ing big tax bill" and the user of the
land could step in on favorable terms.
Grove City is a village about twelve
miles from Columbus, o., on the Mid
land railroad. For the past two years
spectators in land in that village have
been making strenuous efforts to in
duce workingmen of Columbus to buy
lots and build homes out there, and, as
they put it, to ''get out of paying rent"
They have succeeded fairly well, and
have run trains morning and evening
for the accommodation of workingmen.
the boom flourished, and he thought
that those mostly interested had done
better than they pretended. AS an evil
dence he gave the following account of
an investment he had made for his son:
There is piece of land out there of
six acres that a year ago went begging
for a buyer at s700. Nobody seemed to
want it. But my son finally bought it
and rented it out The other day he
was offered $1,000 for it. Don't you
think that that is doing well enough?"
EYES," was the reply. "Did he take
it?" mo, he didn't, because he has it
rented for $50 year to good tenant,
and that is 10 per cent on 81 800"
And so the poor renter pays the piper.
The workingmen of Columbus leave
home early and get home late, and put
up with a thousand and one other in
conveniences, never seeing their family
in daylight for great portion of the
year. BY SO doing they have increased
the value of the spectators land and
the working renter pays for it all.
