A WONDERFUL OF
FER TO WOMEN.

We have received word OF a
most remarkable offer which is to
be made to women by The Delin-
Gator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year
begins new century, The Delin-
eata offers TO distribute $l7,500
ami pg 1901 women. The plan is
so cleyerly arranged that a woman
iiviugM a small town or village.
has just as good a change to win
one of these 1901 prizes as a wo-
man living in eity-beeadse the
prizes are given for the number
of subscriptions secured IN town
in proportion to the population of
that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the larg-
est list of subscribers-which, of
course, are most easily obtained in
biAeitieS. Another clever feature
of tEeplan is, that all the cities
and townSNf theUnited States and
Canada have bsen arranged in
seven classeS The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in
Glass ], and as these cities are not
very many, the prizes offered are
twenty-eight; the highest prize
being $500, and the lowest $500.
The total amount of prizes given
away ia this class is $1,000. The
remaining smaller towns and vii
lagos fall into six other classes,
and as the number of towns in a
class increases, because, of course
there are more small towns than
large ones, the amount of prizes
given away to class increases, so
that in Class Z, there Will be
81, Geo distributed among sol win
ners.
Furthermore, to everyone who
fails to win one of the 1901 prizes
there will be paid an extra com
mission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two
hundred inhabitants OF the town
from which the contestant sends
them.
This is altogether a very liberal
1ffer, and one which the famous
I'D Delineatot is well able to make
good. From our point of view,
re do not see why such an offer
leeds to be made by the Publish
RS OF The Delineator, for We be-
ieve it already has nearly half a
million subscribers. Is strong
lold upon the affections OF Amer

generation, from its practical ad-
ice about dress details and home
matters.

ARE GOOD MEDICINES
More EnicaciOus Remedies Than
Drugstore Compounds.

We take the following from an ad-
dress delivered by L. H. Galloway be-
fore the Illinois Horticultural society,
as published in the National Rural.
We can vouch for many of these vege-
table remedies a. being quite % eff
cacious and much more pleasant to
take than the prescription often given
by physicians, and some day ws may
add others to the list here given:
-tHoney is wholesome, strengthening,
{urifying, healing and nourishing. l
lave reference to the kind made by
bees-not the glucose kind. Persons
Suffering from rheumatism, nervous
diseases and nervous dyspepsia should
eat celery and turnips. Onions are al
most the best nervine known, and will
quickly relieve and tone up worn-out
system and are beneficial in cases of
coughs, colds, influenza, scurvy and
liver complaints. Lettuce eaten by
those who suffer from insomnia is
beneficial. Let those who need iron
for tonic eat spinach, and let the
drug (:ron) alone. Persons suffering
from gravel should eat onions and
spinach. Carrots should be eaten by
those who have asthma. Let those
who need increased perspiration to
relieve overworksd kidneys and lungs
eat asparagus. Cranberries are proper
diet for those suffering from erysip-
elias. They should also be applied ex-
ternally. Lemons satisfy and cool the
thirst in fever. Blackberries are a
tonic. Blackberry cordial is the prop
er remedy for diarrhea. Persons who
are bilious, who have indigestion and
dyspepsia, conditions for which eal-
omel is usually prescribed, should let
tho calomel alone and eat freely of
ripe tomatoes. Let those who have
rheumatism and need an aperient eat
pie-plant. The apple, excelling other
fruits in phosphoric acid, is an excel
lent brain food. 1t is aperient and
diuretic, and hence obviates indiges-
ton and dyspepsia and assists kidney
secretion and prevents gravel. 1t
cleans the mouth. Let persons who use
drugs classed as aperients and laxa-
tives and cathartics stop their use and
eat freely of apples, figs, bananas, pie
plant, tomatoes, onions, Strawberries,
raspberries and blackberries.
