From the day that young man starts
out to seek his FIRST position to the end of
his business life his health has world to
do with his success When young man
applies to a business man for position his
personal appearance has deal to do with
the outcome. Personal appearance" does
not mean dress alone. Ii does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. A young man
may be clean, so far as soap and water will
make him, but be dishgured by unsighty
pimples eruptions and alterations on the
skin. These are due 10 impurities in the
blood The blood becomes impure because
ii is improperly nourishedA Instead of
receiving the lfe-giving elements of the
food, il receives the foul carnations OF
indigestion blousness and costrveness.
The reason that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery Is the best remedy for
disorders of this description Is that IT goes
right to first causes. 1t gives a man an
appetite like horse II facilitates the
flow of digestive juices. II corrects all
disorders of the digestion, and makes the
assimilation of the life giving elements
of the food perfect II invigorates the
liver II purihes and enriches the blood
II makes the muscles strong and active.
Ii tones and steadies the nerves II makes
a young man look as he should-strong of

Canadian Reciprocity.
fPhilsdelphia Textile Record

The objection to Canadian reciprocity
which promptly presents itself is that
Canada produces the very things that are
produced in our own country There are
exceptions. but this is the rnle. Free
exchange of products therefore, will have
the effect to take away from the American
producers whatever part of our market
the Canadians may succeed in occupying.
To some extent this may be offset by
American sales in Canada; but, in the
first place, this will introduce fresh
competitor whom the American must
meet in his own market; and. in the
second place, an exchange is seriously
uneven which opens to the American a
market of five million people while giving
the Canadian access to market of
seventy-hve millions.
Again it is sure that Canada will give
to American imports no advantages not
conceded to imports from Great Bri rain.
| But. il we shall cut down our tariff as a
favor TO Canada, the concession will be
made also to England for higher duty
upon imports at New York than at a
point upon the Canadian frontier will
mean simply that American imports from
England will come through Canada.
Canadian reciprocity is not an untried
experiment AS we explained. in speak
ing If the matter last month, we had
reciprocity treaty years ago, and after
| long experience with it we abrogated II
because we discovered that the advantages
were reaped wholly by the Canadians.
This nation has no reason for desiring to
sacrifice revenue for the purpose of
making the foreign country upon its
border strong with the strength Of
industrial success. Reciprocity can be
made advantageous to US when it is
arranged with nations which produce
articles that we can not produce. and
that will give to us markets in which our
products will have tariff favors.

A Beautiful Throat.

The throat should be round, full and
pillar like, and nothing will give those
qualities so quickly as the daily exercise
of rolling the head completely around,
several times in one direction and an
equal number in the opposite way. This
exercise fills out the hollows like magic
and strengthens the muscles as we'll.
The arms are seldom sufficiently de-
veloped for beauty. We do not use our
arms sufficiently to give them the muscu-
lar strength they need and to do away
with the sharpness at the elbows. Thin
arms are ugly except when they are
gracefully handled, and that is seldom.
Keeping the elbows away from the side in
sharp angle may be stylish. but it is not
graceful, and crossing the arms over the
chest is unlovely to a degree. Watch
closely the next woman whom you see in
that attitude and note the ugly curve of
the back and the forward droop of the
shoulders. A few women may look
jaunty and attractive when they carry
their hands in their jacket pockets, but
where you find one who does satisfy the
eye you will see scores who offend.

In feeding pumpkins to cows it should
be remembered that the seeds are very
strongly diuretic, and will cause the cows
to urinate so freely that they become
weak, and their milk yield will decrease
rather than be increased. 1t is this effec,
of their seeds that causes some farmers to
believe that pumpkins are no good for
cows. Care should be taken to keep the
seeds where fowls will not get at them.
Geese will eat pumpkins seeds greedily,
and will grow lighter every day. nc
matter how much else they are fed.
Seeds of the squash and of melons have
the same effect as those of pumpkins.

How Seed Affects the Yield.

1.-The experiments conducted at the
experiment station" asserts H. r
Kinney" have proved quite to oul
satisfaction that under ordinarily favorable
conditions the yield of a field of potatoes
is materially influenced by the amount Of
seed potatoes, that when the hills are the
same distance apart, larger yield will be
obtained if medium sized potatoes are
planted whole than if the potatoes are Gu,
into two eye or single eye pieces and then
planted. When seed potatoes are expen
sive it may De profitable to cut them into
medium size or two eye pieces, but prob
ably it is false economy to plant single
eye pieces in the ordinary field culture OIL

The veteran l. c. Libby of Waterville,

today there were 10 times as many sheep

Stock that is to be heavily grain fed
during the winter should be fed consider,
able grain this month, while succulent
feed, pumpkins and roots are plentiful
Begin with light feelings of grain or
meal, and gradually increase them as the
digestive powers gain strength. The
great secret of successful feeding is never
to give more of concentrated food than
the stomach will digest. But the more
varied the ration the larger will be the
amount that can be digested well. 1t is
always cheeper to feed some grain even to
stock that is not being fattened, than to
try to winter it holly on hay or straw.
Unless the hay be OF clover, some grain
or meal fed with steamed cut straw is
better than meadow hay alone. BY
feeding some & ain all through the life Of
the animal, its digestion will be made
stronger and it will bear TO be fed more
heavily with grain or meal than if never
before used to it.
