rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

Its excellence is due to its presenting

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

About eighteen years ago, when Mrs.

merry school girl, she was taken i'll with
scarlet fever. She recovered, but she was q
very different girl from q physical stand

but it left her with an affection of the back.
AS she grew older the pain seemed 10 in

TO her back she did her work about her

Attributes of a Good Farmer.

The Southern Farm Gazette asserts
that no man is n good farmer who does
not at least maintain year in and year
out the average productiveness and
fertility of his farming lands. 1t is
not a hard thing to do this either for
pny intelligent farmer. Little better
can be expected of an ignorant negro
tenant than to make it his '%nvarlable
rule to squeeze out of the soil all that
the soil will bear. paving back nothing
In the way OF plant food for future
crops, practicing the plan of soil rob-
terry as a matter of course, but we
surely expect better things of intelli-
gent white farmers and land owners.
