How TO PREVENT BILLIoUsNEss.-
Several correspondents who are aflict-
ed with what is termed "spring bill
liousness," are interested to know how
it may be prevented. Billiousnesss is
not, as many people suppose, a disease
of the liver, but pertains almost alto
gether to the stomach. 1t is chiefly
the result of over-eating, eating too
freely of sweets, pastry, fats and high
ly seasoned dishes. The cold, tonic
air of the winter months antidotes the
bad influence of these digressions in
diet in some degree ; but as the warm,
relaxing weather of spring comes on,
the stomach begins to fail more per-
ceptibly in its efforts to accomplish
the unnecessary and injurious labor
imposed upon it. Indigestion is the
result. By and by the poor stomach
gets 80 far behind in its work that it is
altogether overwhelmed and disabled,
and the difficulty eliminates in bill.
lious attack, which is nothing more or
less than a cessation of work on the
part of the stomach. The over-work.
ed organ needs rest. A bilious attack
can always be prevented by giving the
stomach rest by fasting for meal or
two before the final crash comes. Nc
organ in the body will endure more
abuse and still patiently continue its
work than the stomach. But finally
forbearance ceases to be virtue, and
the faithful servant rebels against
abuse. Correct and properly regulate
the diet and there will be no more
trouble with bilious attacks at any
season of the year.-Good Health.

EcoNoMY-"WAsTE NOT, WANT
NoT."-It takes great deal of calcu-
lation and economy to get along in the
world nowadays, and it is not every
one that is fully equal to the task
Some men plan, experiment and econ
omize all their life, and after all fail of
finding the sure road to competence.
Now, economy, thrift, accumulation
of property, lies more in the method of
saving than in making. One can care
to waste nothing without being mig
gardly, and careful person can make
an old article last and do the work of
two seasons, where most men buy new
every year.
When you get a new implement
take care of it; when you make new
crop save it, not only from the wealth
er, but from loss in the house. Much
is lost by rats, by leak in the roof or
hole in the floor. Rust and rain
wear out the plows and hoes faster
than labor.
With a little wire two pair of old
traces will make good pair and save
you dollar. A new bottom to cart
will sometimes prevent the need of
getting one for q twelvemonth. A
cultivator and plow are worth more
than two plows. Corn ground is worth
more than whole corn for horses, but
for no other stock, counting the time
and toll corn at the mill.
So with 100 things. One must cal.
culate and think. He must observe
and compare. The only secret about
it is to take good care of thing after
you get it, to save your money after
you make it. Don't spend 81 when 80
cents will meet the case. Get bottom
prices when you buy.

COWS may be protected, in a great
measure at least, by wiping them all
over with a sponge dipped in soap
suds in which a little carbolic acid has
been mixed. Bulls confined in stables
often suffer enough from the attacks
of flies to drive them half mad, and
there is no doubt that the continued
fretting caused in this way develops q
savage disposition. The most satisfac-
tory results have followed from spong-
ing, with soap suds and carbolic acid
mixed, a Jersey bull confined in a
stall.-Chicsgo Tribune.

The ADVANTAGES OF WHITEwAsH.
Whitewash has many uses; but as a
fire extinguisher it has not hitherto
been generally recognized here. "Do
you know" said a scientific gentle
man the other day, "that it is next to
impossible to burn q whitewashed
fence ? And do you know, further,
that in France, to protect frame and
the interiors of other. buildings from
fire, the walls, beams, joists and the
underside of hoorings are thickly
coated with lime wash before they are
placed in position 1t is so, and if
this course, which has prevailed abroad
almost from time immemorial, were
adopted here, it would save many a
house, many a village, from destruc.
ton. do not mean to say that it will
prevent the spread Of a fire once un-
der great headway but from its unin.
fammable character it is a guard
against the prime ignition that often
leads to dire results" This little hint
set the writer to making inquiry
among competent authorities, and full
confirmation of the DOCTORS words was
the outcome.
A very good whitewash is composed
of lime slaked TO the proper consisten-
cy for application, into which (for in
side work. while hot mix a starch
made from half a pound of -four, or
two ounces of common white glue,
thoroughly dissolved. For outside
work add to the above preparation a
handful of rock salt and as much soft
boiled rice. This will "stick" with
unexampled certainty.

"I don't want to be the only one IL

she answered.
"Of course not"
"But bloomers," he suggested a
minute later, "are rather expensive, l

"Attractive ones are not to be had
for nothing" she admitted.
Attractive ones are not to be had

"Some of them are attractive" she

A DETERMINED POSTMASTER.

Squire Zanford is displeased with
the present administration. The squire
who was postmaster at May Bloom,
was recently removed, or rather was
informed that hereafter his public
duties will be discharged by some
other citizen. Upon receiving infor-
nation of his dismissal, the Squire
addressed the following letter to the
president:

powers; and eventually looks for per-

Characteristic Letters From All

hard times they naturally take the
cheapest. 1t is too cheap to do with

not have bill run on them.
THE PEOPLE wANTrr
The people will not pay cash in ad-
vance for a paper unless they want it
and appreciate It. THE WEEKLY is
