'Take care of yourself" say our friends.
'rll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have a cold on the chest, place Bensons
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II you think two are needed
make it two. No harm II you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement Of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid q serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form OF
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plssters have dis
tnet and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the Same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip Cbsck and chest and 81 SIM
isr ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather Complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

ONE OF woMAN,s WAYS.

She Hates to Pay Ont Bills That Arc
Clean and Crisp.
"Most women hate to spend new
money" says an obseryant salesman.
81 haven't the faintest idea why this
should be so, but I've noticed 1t often
right here in the store.
"a woman will make purchase and
pull out her purse to pay the bill, but II
she happens to have to part with a
clean, crisp note in making up the
amount she looks greatly annoyed. I've
seen women with fat wads Of bright
brand new bills fustered when they
came to pay for purchases because
they hadn't sufficient old money to
meet the charges. They would dig out
the contents Of their purses and stow
the crisp notes to one side. and If they
couldn't scrape up the sum In a few
cases I've known them to go out with
out buying.
"Others will give utterance to little
feminine EXPLANATIONS Of dismay and
will hastily pay for the articles select
ed In the new money. Then they will
march off with quite show of indig-
nation, Just as If they had been invei-
gled into spending the money.

his salary home in beautiful, clean GER
tificates. He has caught on t. this Pc
culiarity of the sex, and he says it

EQUALIzING LAND VALUES.

Improved methods of transportation
are great equalizers Of land values.
While the modern railway line has
made the good American farm worth
500 per acre, the cheaply produced
and transported products of such farm
have deteriorated the value Of farm
lands in England. Low priced beef,
pork, butter and cereal grains have
caused such reduction in rent rolls
in England that in many cases my lord
has actually had to get right down to
work and business in order to live,
while the bishop and the rector of the
Established church, long well fed on
lusty tithes attached to their livings
while they gave their parishioners
boughten sermons costing half crown
each, are on short rations. Fertility Of
soil and not location will in the near
future be the only factor in fixing the
value of farm land. ~

THE COW AND PROSPERITY.

1t is very interesting to watch the
evolution OF an agricultural communi-
ty from the grain raising and grain
selling period into one of dairying and
meat production. 1t does not seem to
matter much what sort of communi-
ty it is, whether native born or foreign,
whether the soils of the farms are
good or poor. it always comes that lit
tie by little that community comr
mences to get out Of debt, builds new
houses and barns and in few years
bears all the evidences of prosperity.
We have seen this evolution take place
in Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota. the
Dakotas, Kansas and Nebraska, and
it seems strange that so sure remedy
for Improbable farm conditions is
often so long neglected.

PITY THIS WOMAN.

While lot of rot finds it's way into
the papers about the hard conditions
of the farmers wife = the ceaseless
toll, lack of conveniences, isolation and
deprivation of social pleasures no
body ever peeps about the troubles
of the wife of the day laborer in our
cities-the woman who cares for big
family with the smallest resources and
who, living within touch Of all the So
cial gayety Of city, is as far removed
from it as, though she lived In for
est or on desert; who has to buy all
the necessaries of life, even to milk
and eggs; who hears the church bells
ring out each Sabbath an invitation
she is too poorly dressed to accept;
who too often has to make the rounds
Of the saloons to find a hayward hus-
band or son-this is the woman who
deserves your sympathy, not the farm
er's wife.
