Returned Traveller Reports Almost In

the masses in India live to under

From my observation do not hes
itate to say that half of the people
who toll in the fields over there do
not know what it is to have their hum

they merely exc out miserable exist

there is an incessant battle with pri-
vation and want.
''As rule they subsist on one meal
per day. and not infrequently. even in
districts that are not listed as famine
stricken. they have this insufficient
quota of food only on alternate days.
When one considers that the average
income of the native farmer is. accord

no surprise to hear how Impoverished

scarcely year that passes over the

Feel So Tired.

How often do we hear this and similar
expressions from tired, overworked women
and weary men, who do not know where to
find relief. For that intense WEAKNESS, so
common and so discouraging, we earnestly
recommend Vogeler's Curative Compound.
1t is not stimulant but true blood purifier
and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure,
which will gradually build up all the weak
organs in such way as to be lasting
benefit. A fair trial of free sample bottle
which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd, of Baltimore.
Md, will send you for the asking, will con-
vince anyone of its wonderful medicinal
value. 1t will drive all impurities from the
blood. give nerve, mental and bodily strength
and vigour and make the sufferer wholly
new being. 1t creates an appetite, makes one
sleep and makes the weak strong. Do no,
forget that Vogeler's Curative Compound
is made from the formula of London
physician who has given years of study to
same. Sample bottle free from St. Jacobs
Oil, Ltd, Baltimore.

sATHED IN THE CRATER.
Story Of Denver Man Who Lived on

James A. Small, inspector in the
Denver postofiicc district. was for ten
years sugar planter in ST. Vincent.
and during that time Travelled all over
the slopes of Mount SOufricrc, which
mas lately caused the devastation of
that island

The Life of the Farmer

I'VE are going to sell our printing
office and go to farming" SAYS the
editor of Kansas paper We were
told last week about a farmer whose
wife and family of five children are
getting rich. while the old gentleman
hustles around and bosses the lob.
The lovely daughter-and she is love
ly-has about two and a half acres of
chickens, while the boys have cattle.
horses. hogs and the like to get away
with all the feed that is grown on the
place. and every once in awhile they
buy another quarter. They have a
handsome new home, the woods are
full of quail. the creek is full of black
bass and they live right up at the top
of the pot. every day in the year. This
family owns about everything in sight
and are hustling every day for more.

SALT LAKE is VANISHING.
Scientists Declare Nothing VIII Be
Left Of II In Fifty Years.

Within fifty years from the present
time the Great Salt Lake of Utah-the
most remarkable body of water OF Its
kind in the world-will have ceased to
exist. 1t will have dried up and its
place will be occupied by an unattract-
i've desert, save perhaps for few irri-
gated farms.
Such. at all events, is the opinion of
biologists. Prof. w. J. McGee of
Washington remarked in conversation
the other day that half century was
an outside estimate for the survival of
the lake He was inclined to think
that 1t would be dried up twenty-five
years from now. Already its waters
show signs of receding from the shores.
and causes are in operation which less
en- to Il great extent the supplies fur
nshed to this curious inland sea by
streams.
The lake Is about seventy-tive miles
long by half that in greatest breadth,
being in shape somewhat irregular, and
is rather shallow. There may be places
where 1t has II depth of as much as 100
feet, but over most of its area it is less
than fifty feet deep. The reason why 1t
is so salty is simply that it has no out
let save through evaporation. and the
streams during ages past have been
carrying salt into it.
The contributing streams are now be-
ginning to be utilized on n large scale
for irrigating purposes, and thus the
customary water supply is being with
held to some extent from the lake.
Before long immense reservoirs will be
constructed in the mountains to hold
the storm waters during the rainy sea-
son, in order that they may be con-
served and poured out -yer the fields
in the dry time. Operations of this
kind, conducted so extensively, must
lower the level of the lake quite fast.

TIE CHARLESTON SHOW.

returned last week from Charleston,
where they visited Ihe Exposition, and
they bring a most favorable report They
say that the Charleston Exposition is
enc of the most beautiful and instructive

They speak in very high praise of the

with many difficulties and have been dc
layed in completing the work, but The
show will be in perfect condition a little
willie hence, and when the grass is green
and the flowers all in bloom, it will be
as garden of paradise, so our Rich
smond friends say.
This is good news. The people OF
Charleston have shown great courage and
Industry in getting up this industrial
show, anu we believe that it will do not
only Charleston. but the whole South

TO advertise it as much as possible. and
The people of the North ought TO make

believe that the people CT other sections

hibi, and we hope that there VIII be q
