HEALTH AND COMFORT.

Watercress is regarded by some as a
good all-round brace-up for the sys-
TEN.
In buying new shoes they should be
tried on over moderately thick stock
ings. This will permit thinner pair
being put on to ease the feet should
they prove to be too tight. Stockings
make great difference in the comfort
of shoe. Whether too large or too
small, they are nearly as uncom-
Portable as pair of tight shoes.
Eyes need testing occasionally where
the occupation is peculiarly trying to
the organs, but the test should be made
when one is in normal health. If the
test is made when the system is run
down the muscles and nerves of the
eyes will show such spasmodic action
that some inexperienced occulist will
readily attribute all the trouble to
the organs. In this may many people
wear glasses who should not. The
trouble is in their general system.
Bring that up to a normal condition
and the eyes will do their duty thor
oughly.
1t may seem an ODD prescription
that of good clothes''-l2ut since it
has been known to work wonders in
certain instances its value will prob
ably become better appreciated in the
near future. Zone of the things that

Gently, who has just regained her
health after a severe illness, twas a
pretty bed jacket which my sister
brought me one day in lieu of jellies
and fruit. 1t was becoming and I en-
joyed it. The doctor when he first saw
me in it said I looked 20 per cent. bet
ter than the day before; manlike, he
didn't appreciate the reason, and my
spirits and consequently my condition
became better in proportion"

z "cloverland'' of Wisco.- sin.

You want land. You realize that land is
getting higher priced and in greater de-
mand every year. If you get farm now
and hold it 10 or 20 years-even if you
should not make any money by farming
the farm will make you rich. A farm tribu-
tary to the cities of Minneapolis or StPaul
in northern Wisconsin, will increase in
value faster than land in the prairie states
because of it's nearness to market and be-
cause of it's greater productiveness.
1t is hard for people who have never
seen that section to appreciate its wonder
full growth of blue grass and clover.
Where else in America will you find grass,
clover and alsike spring up spon-
taneously and cover a patch or a field as
you will among the hard wood lands of
northern Wisconsin? The waters of this
section, the soil, the climate and all the
natural elements tend to make it an ideal
dairy country, and the markets near in

Our readers will do well to write to D.

Line, Minneapolis, and ask him to send
