In every civilized country rich and poor

vigOr in Paine's celery compound.
Hard working people of ordinary means
are to be congratulated, saws an English
writer in reviewing the scientific work of the
last quarter of century, upon having So
easily within their reach to day a remedy
which the wealtbiest and most influential
persons must themselves use, if they would
get the best that modern medical skill offers.
Paine's celery compound proves that the
science of medicine has kept pace with the
wonderful progress which characterizes the
life of the present generation"
The astonishing reputation that this most
wonderful of all remedies has acquired is
principally due to the word -of-mouth recon-
mendation and endorsement of men and
women of the highest business and social
standing, as well as of those in humber but
no less important positions who have them.

Her real object was one of charity, for she is
using her great wealth and influence this
winter in assisting the Danish people in the
western states She is stopping in Chicago,
and from there writes her straightforward
endorsement of Paine's celery compound.
Women who are easily excited, who waste
energy worrying oyer trifes who are often
sufferers from sick headachNand nervousness,
should read the plain, unbiased statements of
what Paine's celery compound has done for
other women.
Among the diseases that cause vast
amount of needless suffering that may be
readily cured by Paine's celery compound are
biliousness, torpid liver, headaches. sleepess-
ness, dizziness, constipation, dyspepsia and

There is..a vide difference of opinion
among trontleremen as to the best way
to capture wolves. Some maiiltian that
poison Is the quickest and surest, wnlie
othe.s say that the use of traps is the only
successful method. 1t is hardly to be
deuled that poisoned meat is uow largely
a failure. Twenty i've years ago it was
all easy matter to poison woivee: strych-
nine was lew to them aud they we're de-
stroyed by hundreds. They have become
experts in detecting it. however, and she

between pure and poisoned meats. Some

Old hunters say that trapping is the
most trustworthy way to kill wolves. The
remarkable sagaclty Of the animal makes
even trapping u tax on the shrewdness
and ingenuity of the trapper. The irst
thing neccessary is to kill the odor of the
iron, which is dcne .by smoking the traps
with cedar by rubbing them with bees
wax, Or by dipping them III blood. Wolf
lures, such as asafoetlda, anlseed oil or
oil of petroleum, are condemned, as their
only effect is to make the aullnats sus-
picious.
The trspper begins by tying to wagon
a large piece of beef, venison or antelope
which Is dragged over the country whore
the traps are to be set. Wolves like to.
run i'll COW trails. aud spot where a
number of trails cross is a good place to
set traps. Some hunters put their traps
where the wolves can walk Into them,
while Others lure the wolves by baits.
Traps should not be set in deeply worn
parts of the path as wolves travel Ou the
higher parts. The necessary equipment
for setting traps is, in addition to shovels
u couple Of large blankets or sheets, a
bucket of fresh blood, two or three rabbits
q beef llvsr,sa pound of cotto1 wool and
the paw of a wolf or coyote. Arnold trap
per describes the actual setting of the
traps IA follows:
AS soon as the drag has passed over the
chosen spot, the frat thing the tEapperri
must do is to dip their boots implements
in the blood, then spread the blankets on
the ground and proceed to put on these.
