The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
IS the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, require a consti-
tutlOnal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
IN doing its work. The proprietors
have SO much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

WHY NOT RAISE JFHEATt

THE DEMOCRAT has insisted for more
than seven wears that the only sure
and safe method Of farming Is that OF
raising home supplies. We have en-
deayored to point out to the farmers
how they can be Independent Of prices
and political depression If they VIII
raise all their home supplies.
Asa matter of figures there is doubt
les. twice as much corn and meat rails
ed in this region is there was but few
wears ago The result is that the peo-
ple are IN better circumstances than
they have been In a quarter OF cen
fury, gainsay 1t as you may
THE DEMOCRAT has from time to
time called the attention Of the farm
ers TO the matter Of raising wheat. In
this immediate community one seldom
sees an acre Of land in wheat. We be-
lieve this is a mistake. The farmers
could raise their own wheat and save
great expenditures for flour during the
year.
They tell us that in the olden times
people did not use as much flour as
they do now. Twice week, they say,
was about as often as people had biscuits
on their tables, except the rich or very
well-tO-dO. But it is TACT now that
very few families, poor or rich, ever go
half SO long without using wheat bread.
Indeed it is used more than corn bread
by almost all classes of people. AS n
matter of dollars and cents this Is a
great dram upon the country, and if
there is any way to prevent it, why not
do it?
The amount Of money that is sent
away from Halifax county every year
for -four is enormous. If the wheat
could be raised at home this would cut
off one great drain-pipe that carries our
money away and helps make us Door.
Besides the real expenditure of money
for the -four that we use, there could
be a great saving in quantity by using
homemade flour. They tell us that
flour made from fresh, homeraised
wheat Will 90 much farther III supply
- NO than the shiDped, adulter-
ated flour. Some say it viii last ten
per cent. longer.
One reason assigned by the farmers
for not raising wheat Is that there are
10 mills IN The community Exactly
SO and just as long as there is nc
wheat to grind there will be no mills to
grind it. But when the farmers raise
wheat CROUCH to Justify it there VIII be
mills to grind the wheat. Suppose you
stop raising cotton for five years and
then suddenly turn to cotton again
Would there not be the same trouble
about cotton gins? Raising wheat Will
bring the mills and the coming of the
mills will be an inducement to raise
wheat
THE DEMOCRAT hopes to see ii good
wheat crop in this section next year
And the season is fast approaching
when preparation ought to be made fol
it.
We may offer other suggestions along
this line again soon. Let the farmers
be thinking about it.

Nervous People

And those who are all tired out and
have that tired feeling or sick headache
can be relieved of all these symptoms
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
gives nerve, mental and bodily strength
and thoroughly purifies the blood. 1t
also creates good appetite, cures indi-
gestlon, heartburn and dyspepsia.
Hoods Pills are easy 10 take, easy in
action and sure in effect. 25c.

more, we have yet to learn of a case in
which it has failed to afford benefit.

Flying Machines and War.

No one has yet devised perfectly safe
system Of either navigation or warfare
War, at any rate, under the most favorable
conditions, Is very dangerous game, but
nations are not deferred from going to
war by thoughts of torpedoes, torpedo
oatcbers, smokeless powder or explosive
shells. Now, argues Mr.. Maxim, 1t Is
shown to be possible to make machine
that will actually fly at very high veloo
ity, and nothing remains but to learn how
to maneuver 1t.
"In view." he says, "of the decided ad-
vantage which flying machine would give
its possessor over an enemy do not think
that In case Of war European nations
would hesitate to employ them, even II
one-half Of the men navigating them were
killed. At tho present time no difficulty
Is ever found in getting volunteers to
make torpedo boat attack upon manor
war, something which Is infinitely more
dangerous than navigating flying ma
chine would DO, as the latter might be
painted black and make its attack at night
or In n fog, when it would be quite impos'
siblo for the enemy to strike back"
And yet after all, Is It not poor
thought that the first European nation
which takes advantage of this new engine
of destruction will be able to modify tho
map of Europe to it's own idcasf" Is the
dream of centuries to end only In superi.
ority In the art of manslaughter?-Al the

PeRlLs OF TIE NORTH SEA.
hit af Ocenn Full of Anxiety to Pssscngc
aud Navigator.


The passage Of tho North sea, or Ger
man ocean---for IL Ia equally well known
by both titIcs--is looked upon with dread
by tho nayigators who havo 10 brave It's
dangers
Tho sailors Of tho North German Lloyd
coll IL tho sea OF murder In allusion 10 tho
marine disasters with which Its history
bristlos. The captain Of -. liner. whose
destination Ia Liverpool, feels that tho
perils of his voyage aro practically over
whom he reaches Queenstown. The com.
mandors OF tho North German Lloyd ships,
on tho other hand, realize that the most
dangerous part Of their journey Is yet TO
come. for ahead Of them Is tho narrow and
crowded English channel and the equally
crowded and tcmpestuous North sea.
The uDruly waters arc open TO tho fierce
sweep of the wind that Is SO dreaded In
Europe, that which Is from the northeast.
Only those who have experienced these
marrow chilling, pneumonia breeding
blasts can realize their anger and their
power. The gulf stream which surges up
the channel and around the northern end
Of the British islos meets the 10y current
from the arctic regions. Storms, varied
by dense fogs result from this coiubina-
tion.
The east coast OF England forms dead
ly Ice shore for the shipping caught In tho
prevailing winds. In addition to these
natural dangers the North sea is crossed
and recrossed by dozens Of steamer
"lanes." 1t Is also the scat of the great
herring fisheries, with their thousands Of
smacks and schooners that, lying at anchor
here, thero and everywhere, arc by no
means the least of the dangers which men
ace the navigator. Here, too, there are
hundreds Of Scotch and English coasting
craft, which stand well to sen to avoid the
dangers Of shore lines, and, lastly, the
mouth of tho Thames spreads funnelliko
into tho North sen, adding to the total
perils with it's fleets of incoming and out
going vessels.-Boston Transcript.

Newton's Telescope.

Newton fashioned concave mirror from
q mixture Of copper and tin, which gives a
surface with almost the luster Of silver.
An image of the star was produced in thu
focus Of this mirror, and then this image,
when examined by a magnifyingseyepiece,
permits the astronomer to study tho star
at what is equivalent to a greatly reduced
distance. Such Is the principle Of the ia
nous erecting telescope which bears the
name of Newton.
The little reflector which he constructed
Is still preserved as ono Of the treasures OF
the Royal society. The telescope tube had
the very modest dimensions of an inch in
diameter. 1t was, however, the precursor
Of whole series of magnificent instru.
ments, each outstripping the other In mag
nitude, until ut last tho eliminating point
was attained In the construction Of Lord
Rosse's mammoth reflector of feet In
