There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion OF the country than all other dis
eases put together and until the last
lew years was supposed to be incura-
ble. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses

found. Go anywhere you like on the
veldt, and sooner or later-and in all
probability the former-you will find
him.
His quicknesS OF eye Is simply
astounding. An OK falls out of the
team, evidently i'll. He Is Out-spanned
from his yoke fellow, and he goes
down to the sprnlt. or stream. The

all sides is absolutely clear and cloud
less.
Hardly has the breath left the body

the buds are produced, being placed

toward symmetry is, however, inter

causes, internal and external. The
most important of the former is the
varying degree of vigor in the buds,
which behave like distinct plants.

Utilizing the wind as stump puller

acres, and with the aid of the wind he
cleared the whole tract in six weeks.
although the timber was dense
growth, the frs measuring from one
to four feet In diameter. The winds
in the quarter blew strong from the
south at this season. The farmer put
his men to worl; on the north side of
sSe fir grove. They cut log and
dragged 1t close to the north side of
the bases of the fir trees that were to
be felled. The preparations were made
during the first day, and then the men
went home and slept while the wind
did the rest During the night strong
south wind blew the trees down, and
they, in falling across the logs, pulled
up the taproots. The next day the
men sawed up the fallen trees, burned
the brush, and laid their logs for an
other lot Of trees. They proceeded in
this way until the whole grove had
disappeared. ed.-Farmer's Advocate.

color, instead of wearing one of the

can be chosen of becoming tint or
to match the bathing suit. If your
suit is of black serge, satin or brillian-

use one of the bandanas of glorious
