SufYcrinr for n Life Time

Persons afflicted with rheumatism often
suffer for lifetime, their tortures being
almost without remission. The Joints and
muscles of such unfortunates are in most
cases shockingly contorted and drawn out
of shape To afford them even temporary
relief the ordinary remedies often prove
useless. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters on
the other hand, is avouched by persons
who have used it TO be a genuine source
of relief. 1t keeps the blood cool by pro-
noting a regular habit of body and re-
moves from IL impurities which. in the
opinion of all rational pathologists. origi-
nate this agoniZing complaint. and its
kindred malady, the gout. Beside this the

Extent Of Tree Roots.-It ia common

Extent OF Tree Roots.--It ia common
ly said that the roots OF trees extend
each way as far as their branches. But
this Is a very urSertain and unreliable
rule. There ere trees like the chestnut
aud pines, which grow In
sandy soil, which send their roots
Tar down into the subsoil, and have so
few roots near the surface that the pillow
can be run nearly up to them. The elm.
which grows best on low. wet land. has
most OF its roots near the surface. But
II can send roots down to depth OF a
three-foot tile drain, as we once learned
to our cost, a large elm near the upper
end OF a newly-laid tile drain COM
pletely filling It after two or three
years, so that the tile had all to be
taken up. The tree was cut down and
the new tile laid. with the result that
the drain suffered no further obstruc-
