TALKS WITH aIoTHERs.-No. 3.


 Every mother wants her baby to thrive. because a healthy child is a happy child The question Of how the baby shall be fed is demanding the attention, as never before, not only of the mothers in the land, but Of the entire medical profession also, because 1t is now realized how much the health off child can be influenced by proper nutrition during the years of babyhood- As the re- suit of the improper feeding of the infant the vitality of the child is impaired, and he grows up weak and puny- In these days when artificial food is being so generally re- sorted to for infants, the demand for a sub- stitute for mothers milk has brought out many foods for which great claims are made. Gustav Mellin, an English chemist. was the first to discover and combine the requisite properties necessary for an aTti- rational feeding of infants commenced. Mellin's Food is the only perfect substitute | for mothers milk, and 1t has done more 10 make babies strong and healthy than any l thing else that has ever been invented. Mellin's Food possesses all the requisite | heat and flesh producing and bone-forming | constituents necessary to give a child | health, yigor and vitality. Infants are ex-
 ceedingly fond Of it and thrive upon 1t when | nothing else can be retained upon the stomach. If they have been weak frefful | and troublesome they become happy, | healthy and active; bright eyes. rosy | cheeks, firm muscles and a strong consti- tuition are the inevitable results of using this excellent preparation.

WORK FOR ODD MOMENTS.

This is certainly fine spring weather and no one ought to let it pass by unim- proved. The roads are fast settling, the frost is going out rapidly and scarcely any snow is to be seen except in the woods and beside the fences and in places where it drifted badly. Now is a good time to finish up work that was be- gun but not done last fall. Though not the best time in the year to cut brush, it is certainly a good time. Why not re- move that old rail fence and cut the young trees and bushes growing beside it? Again that old stone wall needs re- pairing, and if the pastures were moved over it would certainly result in better feed, and, by the way, few of the wild apple trees need looking after and cut ting down, so that there will be no ''tip- sy' cows next summer and fall. There are score of such odd jobs to be attend ed to, which we feel sure the thoughtful farmer will do and will be more than re- paid in doing.
 Thomas TempIeton has bought the "Brad" Case farm, with it's stock and farming tools, etc., for about $l7OO. He takes possession April l.
 Rumor says John Barton will open a grocery store in Kent, this spring. Mr Woodruff is to retire and go into business elsewhere.
 Luther Eaton is still very busy sorting tobacco in his warehouse for the farmers and doing them a kind turn in these hard times. There still remains great deal of the weed uncased in the farmers hands and we think comparatively little will be grown this year.
 J. Morehouse, T. J. Boyd, c. Edwards, and many others, are sorting their own crops at home.
 Though the times are hard, it looks as if the farmer will have to pay about the same for his men that he hires by the month this year. Day wages will prob- ably be somewhat lower. But whether lower or about the same it will not pay to neglect the farm. Keep it clean and as highly cultivated as possible and in the long run the best results will be ob- tained.
 We are glad to hear that our remarks on farming have been appreciated by some, and though we make no preten- tions to over much learning on this sub- ject, we trust we are not teaching "her- esy" or guilty of talking about some thing we do not know anything about. We occasionally get out among them and more than occasionally enjoy good sub- stantial meal at their houses.

TO RESIST THE ATTA OK

TO RESIST THE A7TA CR of the germs of Consumption, Scrofula, Grip, Malaria, and many other diseases-means fight or die for all of us. These germs are every. where in the air we breathe. The odds are in favor of the germs, if our liver is inactive and our blood impure.
 What is needed most is an increase in our germ-fighting strength. To do this successfully you need to put on heaJthy .19esh, rouse the liver to vigorous action, so it will throw off these germs, and purify the blood so that there will be no "weak spot" nor soil for erm-growth.
 We claim for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, that it does all this in a way peculiar to itself. It is the development of generations of medical thought-it has stood the test of quarter of a century of cures.
 That is why the makers can guar- G1otee it. In every trouble caused by torpid liver or impure blood, if the Discovery" fails to benefit or cure, your money Is refunded.
