A Tonic That Outlets the nerves


Not all the sedatives and nerve foods and
narcotics, in which this age of medical dis
covery is SO prolific, can restore quiet to the
nerves permanently, so long as the tranquility
OF those sensitive organs are disturbed by irreg-
ular digestion. When the food is not ade-
quately digested and assimilatcd, tonic or in
MIGRATING effect is not exerted upon them,
they remain weak and unstrung, and nightly

forms dsordered condition of the stomach

nerves share in common with the rest of the

That Tho art Amateur was the on

That The Art Amateur was the only
art publication to receive a Medal at
The Worlds Columbian Exposition is
not surprising when one looks at the
superb Christmas Issue Just received.
The forty-eight pages are crammed
with good things for the connoisseur,
the artist, teacher and art student
The exquisite color plates continue to
be.a great feature, but the magazine
would still be worth much more than
the price charged for it even if they
were omitted. In My Note Book
the editor warns the public against the
frauds in the sales of antique orient
al rugs which he has discovered are
treated chemically to give them a mel
low appearance. Even hitherto reput-
able firms are compromised by this
discovery.
The three exquisite color plates are:
''Jacqueminot Roses by Patty Thum,
ga New England Homestead" by Carl
Weber, and Three Little Kittens by
Helena Maquire. There are also eight
pages of full sized working designs for
wood carving, china and glass paint
ing, embroidery, etc. The whole mum.
Der has CHEEKY, Christmas look, and
the issue is, perhaps, the best that has
ever appeared.

OREGON LANDSCAPES,
Moss Grown Forest and Moss Coverkd
Everything All About


Mr.. Hamlin Garland, in his paper,
western Landscapes, y thus gives an
lmpressionist sketch of an Oregon
landscape:
A group of rough, implanted cabins
set in a space half cleared of trees.
A mat of fallen half burned gigantic
tree trunks, wherein cattle feed per-
ilously seeking the short green sue
cUlent grass.
A few gardens fenced about with
rails or wattled fir tops. A few shops
fronting upon a muddy street. And
all about the cold dark green and gray.
moss-bedrabbled trees stand, lifting
their spearlike points, in serried, I'M
ending ranks into the gray sky.
The unpainted houses have an old
look. They are messed on their roofs
and bleached gray as granite with a
sort of feathery texture where the
beating rains have worn into the fiber
OF the wood. Moss, everywhere moss,
The trees dripped moss. On every
projecting limb or knot, on every tvig,
moss lay, green-all shades of green.
from gray green to flaming emerald.
Forests on every hand-wild un-
measurhd, impenetrable forests. fire.
Scared, matted with ferns and fallen
trunks.
Forests that seemed old and hoary
enough to date back to the carbonifer-
Gus age, filled with swamps and car
peted with russell brown mats of ferns
and green and red tangles of berry
bushes.
Silent forests! Soundless except for
the moan of the wind, and the wild
crescendo snarling howl of the circular
saw as it grapples with savage teeth
upon the logs which the grim-faced
stalwart woodsmen thrust at it. It's
imperious note was like the great trees
finding voice.
In this land trees are an enemy. The
axmen and sawyers go forth to battle
with the gloom and terror of the
swamps and fir trees. To them the
song of the saw is a song of battle-a
song that nerves their hands to do the
will of their hearts.
AS the trees fall, the sunlight comes
in, but the moss remains.

Nc world,s Fair Photos Tor ono Dime.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway has made an arrangement
with first-class publishing house to
furnish a series of beautiful world S
fair pictures, of large size, at the
nominal cost to the purchaser of only
ten cents for a portfolio of sixteen IL
rustrations. Nothing so handsome in
reference to the Worlds Fair has be-
fore been published. The series would
be worth at least twelve dollars if the
pictures were not published in such
large quantities, and we are therefore
able to furnish these works of art for
only ten cents.
