TELEPHONES ON THE FARM.

Here is a story that is going the
rounds: ''In many parts Of the country
farmers have established among them
selves telephone system covering
eight or ten miles of wire, the wire
used being barbed wire fences. The
middle wire Of the fence is used, and
the farmers are able to converse with
each other without difficulty, thus re-
lieving a part Of the lonesomeness
which forms chief objection to farm
life."

For good, everyday household an
gel give US the woman who laughs.
Her pastry may not always be just
right, and she may occasionally burn
her bread and forget to replace missing
buttons, but for solid comfort all day
and every day she is a very paragon.
Home is not a battlefield, nor life one
long, unending fight. The trick of al
ways seeing the bright side, or if the
matter has no bright side, Of polishing

faculty, one of the things no woman

Dig down to the cause of your sickness,
If yea want to get well and stay well.
Most likely it's indigestion. The irritating
poisons of fermenting, pu trid food left in
the stomach by indigestion. cause headache
neuralgia. nervousness. dizziness, stomach
ache, nausea, irritability, and all the other
well-known symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and disor-
ders which are often laid to other causes
and hence are not easily cured. But az
soon as the poisons are removed. all these
symptoms and disorders disappear, because
there is nothing left to cause them. Moth
ing succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive
Cordial, because it prevents the undigested
food from fermsnting in the stomach and
helps the stomach to digest its food.
