''Eometimes cargoes brought from
the hot countries play havoc BY The
fumes they give FORTH" said an old
sea captain. according to the Wash
tngton Star. ION one voyage the su-
gar we had aboard made everyone SICK.
Matters finally became 30 bad that we,
could not live below deck. chased q
big Newfoundland dog out OF IL KEN
mel aft and used the place as . berth
while the crew threw themselves
around the deck at the imminent risk
Of being washed overheard. The COOK
had to go into the hold occasionally
for provisions, and when he did so he
tied 4 piece of cloth over his mouth
and nose. After several such hurried
visits he was overcome and two other
men similarly protected went down
and secured him with ropes and he
was hauled out The matches could
not be battened down for fear the car
go would spoil. SO we had to put up
the best we could with the fumes un-
til we reached port.
1.-THE usually pleasant aroma of cof-
fee becomes sickening indeed when a
man has to sail for weeks in a ship
loaded with the grain. Pine lumber is
worse, and petroleum is as bad as pine
lumber. You taste the stun in every
thing you eat, and meat and bread are
the same, SO far as your palate Is able
to distinguish, all sayoring strongly Of
whatever your cargo 1apre4g - be.
Under the influence of the tropical
sun these fumes get to be simply ter
rible. Once we left port with our
drinking water in pine casks. We had
been out only a few days when the
water began to taste resinous and
from day to day the taste became
more disagreeable. At last we were
forced to stop drinking altogether and
make for the nearest port, which hap
pened to be the island of st. Helena.
There we changed the wooden recep-
tacles for others of material not so
easily affected by heat. But in the
meantime we had suffered cruelty for
our Ignorance"

A Poor Mans Wealth

Consists in what he saves from month
to month. Quite often we hear men
say that they are too poor to buy
home but they are paying from S12
to 500 and $25 per month rent. You
will always be poor if you keep on pay
ing rents. Now just stop and think;
if you are paying $4,000 per month
rent which means $4,000 a year, you
are paying six per cent interest on
$4,000. 90 or if you pay $15 per month,
$4,000 year, you are paying six per
cent interest on 100000, or in most
cases you are paying II per cent in
terest on the value of the house in
which you live.
Let us suggest that you buy home
worth 100000 and pay $4,000 per
month or $4,000 per year and hire all
the money, and pay six per cent inter-
est, YOU reckon $4,000 for interest
and you have $4,000 towards paying
for your home, or if you buy home
for $500. 90 and 1--WE have some very
fine cottages for less than this) you
pay $500 per month, $4,000 per
year, hire all the money and pay six
per cent interest, you have $4,000 to
pay towards your home. You will not
have to pay this long before you own
your home and are independent. You
remember the story of the old gen.
tleman who told the young man if he
would be rich to own his own home
and everyone's else he could.
Now what you want is to own your
home first. We have three houses on
So. Main street, cottages, and not one
of them cost more than Sl5O0.00. We
have others in most any location from
100000 up.

have on our list for sale, even if you

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the

tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as.
sisting nature in doing its work. The

that he seemed to be listening doesn't he
gin to express It. He seemed to be literally
absorbing everythn that was going on
around him. HIS chin was lifted his Inns

After the race, was run he dropped back
