Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
mcnt, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused in different
ways, but in every case the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must be eliminated from the blood
before cure can be had.

ROOTS FOR THE DAIRY.
Why Farmers Should Plan to Plant

Wherever a few cows are kept fol

slider the advisability of growing few

large food value as most feeds we

which is not available to the man with
a small herd. Roots may be grown on
any good loan soil, and will yield a
profitable return in feed for labor ex-

Advantages of Direct buying.

Certain manufacturing institutions have
in recent years inaugurated a new system
of disposing of their products which is un-
qualhedly to the advantage of the con-
sumner. Among the pioneers in this new
method of doing business was the Elkhart
Carriage and Harness Manufacturing com
pany of Elkhart, Ind. These people @gan
this plan 20 years ago and have adhered to
it strictly ever since. The result has been
so entirely successful that they are to-day
the largest manufacturers of carriages and
harness in the world selling to the con-
sumner exclusively.
The advantages to the consumer are al
most beyond estimate. He gets better goods,
better and larger selections, and he buys at a
much lower price. There is no risk, as this

GLASS RETAINS HEAT.
Professor of Physics Explains in a
Simple Way Why Greenhouses
Stay Hot Inside.

1t is very curious, said the old profess
sOr of physics, to see how many market
gardeners there are who raise things
under glass, make money out of the
process, and yet do not know why their
heating frames and their lighthouses re-
main hot inside.
Now, as a matter of fact, the heat
mechanism of a dollhouse depends on
a well known proposition in physics.
L suppose you are acquainted with the
fact that the energy from the sun trav-
els in the form of little waves.
The energy does not come down to
US in straight lines; it comes, as it were,
in u zigzag manner, dancing from side
to side as it comes along. If these
waves are very short, light is the result;
if they arc a trifie longer, they take
the form of heat.
If the light waves strike anything
or the way down, they are very apt to
lie made longer, or rather are apt to be
turned into heat. Now, the waves which
form light are so short that they Will
readily pass through glass, but the
waves which form heat are so long that
they Will not pass through.
From this, therefore, you will see
xhy n dollhouse remains hot. The en-
ergy from the sun passes into the house
through the glass roof in the form of
light Then it strikes the objects II
the house and is turned to heat.
But this heat cannot pass out through
the glass. The heat waves are too long.
So the light keeps coming in and the
heat keeps accommodating, and soon the
lighthouses become very warm, indeed,
even on the coolest days in winter.
OF course, our dwelling-hOuses are
heated by the sun in the same way. The
light comes in through the windows,
but the heat cannot pass out.-Boston

City Lighted by AeetyIene Gas,

Probably the first town in the coun-

New Milford, Conn, which has just put
in an acetylene generating plant for
public lighting purposes. The gas
holder is about nine feet in diameter
and five feet high, having a capacity of
800 cubic feet. There are four genera
tors, each holding $50 pounds of car
bide. The connections are such that
water is permitted to gradually flow
into one generator until the carbide is
entirely consumed, when it is automatic
ally switched to the next generator
and thus the pressure and supply is
ntained.-Boston Herald.
