GO LIVE ON A FARM I

There Freedom, Health aud Happinosa
Await Your Coming.
The person who does not love life In the
country has lost the best part of his nature
by being cast out of the garden of Eden
at an early period of his life, to be artifl
cially reared on the sights, sounds and
smells Of the streets, alleys and sewers Of
some city. He knows nothing Of real
home life--cities have very little-as a
rule, only number so-and-so, such street;
he has very little sense of home joys and
affections. The pure air and water of the
country, it's holy quietudes, its gentle ap-
peals to all the senses, its solitudes, where
tumu1t and mob never intrude; it's de-,
lightful woods, its sports and pleasures,
It's loves and friendships, undeflled by the
dust and CRIME Of crowded tenements and
thronged thcroughfares; its sacred pri-
yacies and seclusions, it's leisure, it's free
dom and independence from the intrusiona
and demands of hurrying urban life, and
it's sacred exemptions from the gross con-
facts and associations of the busting, hus-
thing and shouldering streets-an these
and more akin to them make the rural
existence perpetual delight, undefiled by
the conditions that attend the constant
pressure of mixed and crowded population.
The farm not bonanza, but 1T feeds
the world. 10 one accustomed its iabors
are easy and healthy. Its incidents inter
esting, it's rests, changes and relaxations,
with exchanges of visits, always fud OF
recreation; its crops engage continual care
and attention, with daily vioissitudes OF
weather that never destroy hope and even
cheer with promise of fruition, and at the
last, with garnered crops, 1t affords you
plenty, with a roaring fire under your own
roof-happy in being monarch of all you
survey, despite the struggles for bread in
the cities and the never ending exertions
and woes inseparable from style and its
silly rivalries.

A reporter asked MIR. Jas. D. Dolan
the same question that hundreds have
asked him in the last few days. "Just
tell me precisely, please, why Vinol is
better than cod liver oil. P"
Fir. Dolan replied in his genial way,
"You have given me rather dimcul1

you would, mind you, but am inclined
to believe at the start you would make

was useless and as bad for the stomach,
almost, as would have been the shell OF
the egg. The kernel, or the meat OF the
