that it is thought to have been a great

of all cases of consumption can, If taken IN
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally i'll use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like p1llfdffUeS.
Although by many believed to be incura-

living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption IS durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
ceHfdge of cases, and we believe, JHLly %

has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoratfon (11clJhd-
ing tubercular matter, great loss OF hesh
and extreme emaciatiou and weakness.
DO Won doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, III nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them. and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery,
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses. III curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines WITH
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried i'll nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed TO bene-

a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain;
The photographs of a large number of

THE NAPOLEON REvluAI
Why the Emperor Is the Most Popular
Character In History.

Why the Emperor Is the Most Popular
Character In History.
Within the past year there has been
revival of interest in the career of
Napoleon Bonaparte that is almost
phenomenal. In literature he has fig
ured in the pages of memoirs and rem
iniscences by those who came into
more and less intimate contact with
him. In art not only has he been a po-
tent Inspiration to modern painters
and sculptors, but he has made price
less all pictorial records of his time In
the drama he poses as the most pictur-
esque figure that has been brought
upon the stage within the century.
Personal relics of the man are held as
sacred and beyond all price. As Paul
Bourget aptly says, Napoleon has
hypnotized the French people again"
In France the sting of defeat after
the Franco-Prussian war turned the
thoughts of all to their period of great
est glory. and so it needed but time to
see Napoleon enshrined as an idol. An
equally logic explanation is found
for the most n aNle feature of the Ma
poleon revival ia this country.
The CeHtury's life of the emperor was
projected five or six years ago, before
anyone could have foreseen the pres
ent attitude of the public mind. 1t
was undertaken solely with the idea
that Napoleon was one of the greatest,
most forceful and picturesque eharac-
tiers in the entire range of history, and
that hitherto he had been inadequate
" represented. For that reason Prof.
William Nj. Sloane, the greatest Amer
lean student of French history, was
commissioned to write the life. and
his years of study among unpublished
archives have brought out his COM
pleted labor at the most opportune mo-
ment. And Prof. Sloane shows ms a
new Napoleon, a devourer of books, an
unsuccessful literary aspirant, an Incl
fectual Corsican political agitator, but
the new Napoleon certainly makes the
old Napoleon more easily compre-
hended.

2x4 scantling securely brace the large
post, as shown in illustration, placing
the braces in the form of an X. These
may be secured either by bolts or large
wire nails; possibly both can be used
to advantage. Then after they are
properly secured, make the job still
more complete by running strand of
wire from the top of the second fence

this as tight as may be. This method
of bracing gate posts is simple and at

AMONG THE POULTRY.

BREED the kind of fowls you like
best.
EXCEPT in the severest weather let
the fowls out for exercise.
WHEAT, cracked corn, peas, rice and
oatmeal make good feed for pigeons.
A GOOSE cannot be at its best unless
in clean quarters. What fowl or
animal can?
BETTER late than never. Get up
some earth for dust-bath purposes be-
fore it freezes up
If beginning in the poultry business
be sure you get healthy stock or eggs
from healthy stock.
GIVE the ducks an airy coop even if
it is low, and give them an occasional
fresh bed of clean straw.
A LITTLE chopped fresh meat or a
little oil meal mixed in the morning
feed will help through the moulting
season.
WHERE rats are plenty a rat-proof
hen house is a necessity. To make
one sink twelve-inch boards their full
depth around it, and see that no trash
accumulates near or is piled against i.
If you are crowding poultry at fat
tening time clean out the troughs
each time after they have eaten. Feed
three times a day if you wish but do
no keep food before them all the
while.
If you have an idea that the poultry
business will run itself you are mis-
