They are types of HEALTHY -vomanhood, this mother
and daughter, and their intimacy is almost sistery
Almost every woman has once or twice the
counterpart of these types of healthy womanhood
And every woman knows how rare they are.
Why is it that such splendid wolnanhood is so
rare? The }answer takes back to days before the
daughters birth. No mother can have a healthy
child who is not herself healthy, Weak women do
not bear strong children. The mother must have
more than enough strength for herself before she
has any to give her child. The average mother
knows the WEAKNESS and nervousness of those days
before baby comes. She knows that her strength
goes out of her, her heart turns to water She
shrinks from the agony worse than death which
crowns her with motherhood. And each recurring
period of such suffering leaves its mark alike on
form andiface, until she is worn and wan and weak.
There is salvation from such suffering There
is a way by which weak women can be made
strong women and sick women can be made well

which reduces womens sufferings from days to
hours appeals not only to every mother but to every
father who has kept fast and vigil through the long
hours of his wife's agony. But "Favorite Prescrip
ton" does more than give temporary strength for
temporary trial. 1t gives a permanent strength
strength that brings with it sound sleep and quiet
nerves; a strength which has enough and to spare
for the care and nourishment of the baby.

From staf Correspondent.
Hartford, Sept. 27.-A glorious sunny
day, an attendance of over 5000 per.
sons, an interesting programme Of
events and a jolly good time by all
who attended the second days fair of
the HaEsord Agricultural society. Tha.
is the history, briefly epitomized. ot
yesterdays exhibition here. But ther d,
Is great deal that deserves to be told
In detail. for from the time that tnc
crowds began swarminS into the gates
in the early morning hours until they
commenced to swarm out again a little
after A O'Clock, it was gala scene of
lie, activity and merriment, and all
that hai been advertised by the Off .
GERS of the fair to entertain the throngs
was carried out to the letter.
There We're over 5000 men, women
and children in the pretty park used
as q fair grounds before the time set
for the formal opening. When it is
realized that at least nine out of every
ten of these came in vehicles and COM
paratively few afoot, some faint idea
of the great array Of horses and car
riages of all kinds that lined up in a
mammoth procession on the milc-lonr
steep hill may be had. The immense
new barn of the society, recently built
at cost of $4,000, was crowded full of
horses and they were tied in endless
rows to rail fences, posts and every
where within the radius of sight, while
the empty buggies, surreys and every
style of wagon were dispersed over an
area many acres i'm extent.
Inside the fair grounds the buildings
devoted to exhibition purposes were
filled with a splendid collection of al
most everything that can be grown,
made or preserved. The ladies' hall
was maze Of wonderful things
knitted and croChctcd and the thou
sand varieties of fine necdlework,
drawn work and embroidery was first
class and away ahead Of even the usual
excellence Of this portion of the OK
hibtion. Floral hail was redOlent of
the spicy odor Of choice fruits, vcge-
tables, horticultural specimens and
pastry, enough to make a dyspeptic
groan because Of inability to enjoy
them.
The building devoted to school ex.
hibts had its walls covered with choice
specimens of juvenile skill in penwork
drawing, maps, plans and a great deaI
of credit should be given to the teach
| ors of Susquchanna county for the bril-
liant exhibit they furnished. The best
special exhibit was made by the schoo
| children of Brooklyn and it was a good
one.
There was an open space Of about an
| acre staked off and roped for an arena
| for the exhibition of the special fea.
| lures provided by the management fol
the entertainment of their visitors
Here occurred the vaudeville features
| of the fair. if they may be so called.

three feet apart These ridges can

the ridges stand several days so that
the moisture will get more evenly dis

danger of frost Is past in the spring,
and the ground is warm. select the

with the other hand make hole pretty
well down in the top of the ridge, 50
that permanent moisture may be Sc

10 to Is inches apart | would not
water the plants unless the ground is
very dry. Set the plants out in the
evening, or, still better, during cloudy
weather. When all the plants begin to
grow and the weeds appear, with a
hoe, shave the surface of the ridge
away from the plants, and when the

Bad for the Pessimists.

Railway earnings keep up phenom-
email records" say the financial reports.
This is sufficient answer in itself 10
any pessimistie forebodings that the
volume of business in this country has
reached it's top notch and is now reced-
ing. If trade We're Feceding, the traffic
returns would Immediately indicate it.
But the returns suggest no such fact.
On the contrary. they show increase
crowding increase each month ana each
week This situation of itself ought to
be enough to discredit any talk of hard
times in existence, the men who have
to do only with sound business dealings
have seen nothing of them. Neither
have the wage-earners. Whatever
signs of hard times there are are to be
found only in the visions of spectators
and of those who thrive on uncertain
ties.

killing Weeds

When we went to school - were
taught that If ten men could do a GER
tain piece of work In one day, one man
could do it in ten days, but we were
taught by experience that this would
not apply to weed killing and many
other bits Of farm work. In hoeing a
field large enough to keep ten men at
it all day. it would take a smart man
to get it done all summer. The growth
of weeds ahead of him would make
each days work smaller, while behind
him they would grow so that he would
find those places he hoed the nrst DAY
would be in need of being hoed again
before he reached the end. This. Of
course, applies TO rich land, where
weeds grow rank aud rapidly. There
fore, 1t will pay to get extra labor to
finish a field quickly when ii needs hoe
ing. And remember, too, that the man
who lost his railway train said he ran
fast enough. but the trouble was that
he did NOT start soon enough Begin in
