A little girl had 10 cents with which she
bought sitting of duck eggs. She bor-
rowed brooding chicken hen from her

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-

supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

constitutional cure on the market. 1t is

Suggestions for spring Cleaning

Much of the labor of house cleaning may
be avoided by the exercise of good judg.
ment and management. Pleasant weather
must be selected for the work, usually the
first of May is the best time to begin. Every
thing should be in readiness before hand.
Brooms, brushes, tacks and strings should
be provided. The windows and paints can
be perfectly cleaned by washing with warm
water and Ivory Soap; the free use of lime
and borax will purify and deodorize the
premises.
