WOOD ASHES FOR HEAVY SOILS.

All heavy soils contain some potash,
but it IS often IN form not available
Tor crops. Hence ashes or other forms
OF available potash may do AS much
good on heavy loans rs they do on

mineral. Even If potash is present in
sandy soils it is quite likely to be in
the form of n sillcate of potash, which
is insoIuble except in contact with
something that liz fermenting. 1t is
thus that dressing of stable manure

p1ayfn' Postum.

"Playin' possum" comes from the fact that
the possum viii feign sleep or death when
pushed into sudden danger OF being cap
tured. But pains and aches never play that
kind OF game They never try TO fool any
body, and go TO work to wake up people,
leaving no chance to feign sleep. ON the
other hand. there Is u remedy known as St
Jacobs OIL that will lull pain or an ache so
that 10 won't wake up again In the cure that
follows its use. Pains ana aches are great
or less In intensity just In degree as we treat
them. Prompt treatment with the best
remedy-St. Jacobs Oil-prevents their in
crease and by curing prevents their return
Everything is gained by taking pains and
aches in time for n prompt and permanent
cure, and there Is nothing better than the
use OF st. Jacobs OIL

overtime to dispose of the constant ac-

were very angry and held a mass meet

speech demanding that the rights Of
those who had paid for tickets and freight
be conserved. Incidentally he said that
he supposed there was those in the crowd
who would like to hang the mayor. His
