Striking q Fish.

The secret of striking fish, espe-
cially trout which bites quickly,
whether in brook, river or lake, is
to give sharp upturn of the wrist.
This will move the rod or bait only
two or. three inches and will not
jerk it from the water. If you miss,
the fish will follow the few inches,
not being frightened, and in the
majority of cases will be hooked at
once. The quick jerking of the bait
from the water almost invariably
scares trout-result, a dark streak
disappearing down the stream

A Human BsrOmeter

When the blood becomes impreg-
mated with rheumatic (lactic) acid, it is
influenced very largely by changing at
conditions, every variation
of the temperature producing more or
less effect on the system. The changes
which precede damp or cold weather
are especially noticeable, hence the
body when it becomes rheumatic can
reasonably be likened to barometer
It is customary among persons who
are victims of chronic rheumatism to
apply external remedies whenever the
spasms appear, but to make no effort
at q permanent cure. There Is no rea-
son why the body should be afflicted
with rheumatism any more than any
other disease. Rheumatism is entirely
durable il the right remedy is used. In
upwards Of half century of constant
use Lallemand's Specific for Rheuma-
tism and Neuralgia has shown conclu-
sively that it is the very best remedy
for this disease. 1t not only gives
quick relief, but 1t strikes directly at
the root of the trouble-the Tactic acid
in the blood, rapidly destroying and
graduating it. When the rheumatic
acid is once thoroughly removed from
the system the disease is cured, hence
the paroxysms cannot return. Sold
