" uitn Win ulpaiiSEs anu NANt>,
Its not the linen your wearing out,
But human creatures lives"
If Thomas Hood could have looked into
one of the big retail stores in any city with
the endless streams of eager buyers and the
pale-fsced shop girls behind the counters,
he would have included women as well as
men in his appeal for more humanity.
In order that some may go finely clad
and have leisure, thousands of tired work
ing girls must wear out health, good locks
and strength by long, close hours in offices,
be hind monotonous store counters and in
factories.
Women as DR.. Weir Mitchell says,
''are by physiological nature more liable to
be nervous and thin-blooded than are men. y
Ii is sad draw back in the face of the du-
ties Of life that very little emotional dis
turbance, anxiety or nervous strain sufiices
TO overcome the woman as il does not the
man, and that the same exec sses which
make him irritable make her nervous.
The grestest friend tired, feeble women
have today is Psine's celery compound, the
remarkable discovery of Prof. Edward +.
Phelps, NJ D., LII. d, of Dartmouth col
lege. This greatest nerve regulator and
blood purifier yet known is the mainstay of
a great proportion of the homes throughout
the country where nervous weakness and
feebleness have entered. Paine's celery
compound begins at once to rebuild the
shattered nerves snd nerve centers all over
the body. Ii is the one great spring medi-
cine, because it quickly removes impurities
from the blood; gives new life and vigor by
filling every tiny rsmifcation of the blood
vessels with rich red blood capable of max
ing healthy tissue.
THE difference between the knowledge
of today" says well known scientist, land
that possessed before DIR. Phelps studies of
the nerves and their intimate connection
with every process in the body, is enormous.
Dyspepsia, for example, is now ranked rs a
oervous disease, and ,as in the case of other
nervous weakness. it is readily durable by
attending closely to the nutrition of the
nerve cepters with Paine's celery compound,
Diseases of the kidneys, heart and the liver
are cured in the same radical way by pro-
viding abundant and appropriate nutrition
for these parts"
mot more food but better, is the watch
word of the best medical skill-better food
for nerves and nerve centers. When the
system is completely nourished the tired
out, run down feeling vanishes, and the
craving of the nerves called neuralgia,
rheumatism and heart trouble ceases.
There is one remedy deserving the
name of spring medicine-that is Paine IS
celery compound" said very careful ply
sician. Sick headache, sleeplessness, men
tai oppression and lack of energy are cured
by Paines celery compound. 1t makes
people well.

enced growers, but every year new
growers embark in potato growing and
too often feel the need Of some fixed
method to direct them successfully.
There are just as fixed rules govern
ing the growth of the potato plant
as of any other plants that are sus-
ceptible Of cultivation, and these prin-
ciples must be closely followed to in
sure profit.
In my last article mention was made
of recovering my potatoes after they
were fairly through the soil and then
narrowing effectually in a few days
afterwards. This was done last season
by way of experiment, but extreme
drouth failed to develop anything prof
table from the scheme.
Fig. 1 represents the trenching sys-
tenn where the ground is struck out
about six inches deep and the potato,
D, dropped and covered at G.. We
put the harrow on as soon as the
sprout is through the soil and work the
dirt in up to B, seeing of course that
the plant is in no way left with stones,
clods or sods on it to prevent growing.
When the plant gets through this last
coat of earth, and is about three inches
high, begin cultivation with some good,
narrow-toothed implement, working the
soil around the plant on level at A.
Other civilizations will gradually
work more soil toward the plant till
a slight ridge will be formed at the
base of the vine as Indicated by the
dotted line OH top Fig. 1, which will
leave the parent potato fairly deep in
the soil prepared to withstand pretty
severe drouth. !
