/ WORD TO FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many OF our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a condition OF
health demanding careful attention if suffering
Is 10 be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
OF spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
TO cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges Of
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, arc
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sckly, and
halt dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and vigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
The blood which cause rheumatism; il feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia tortures; it purihes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use OF Paine S
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing OF a perfect physical vigor to withstand
the ngors OF a severe winter.

Many years ago Sir Thomas Upton
was passenger on an East Indian
steamer bound for Ceylon. While in
the Red sea the boat was disabled, and
II became necessary to throw over
board part OF her cargo. Upton was
an interested spectator OF the prepare
tons for tightening the ship. Suddenly
he bolted the scene and by a twenty
dollar decker with the chief engineer
secured a paint brush and a pot of
black paint. Then, to the astonish-
ment Of the captain and passengers, be
cheerfully labeled each box and bale
thrown overheard Use Lipton's Teas"
The cargo, Of course, fioated ashore,
and for miles In Araby and other lands
the natives saw that legend. Suisse
Quentfy the passengers on the Injured
steamer were compelled to abandon II
and take to small boats. On reaching
land Sir Thomas was the first to make
a cable Office and wire the destruction
Of the boat and safety OF the travellers
to London. The message was signed
Upton" or course his name was in
every English newspaper the next
morning, signed to that message, and
he was the best advertised man in the
kingdom.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin aid pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

The Cat and the pouehnuts.

This is a true story, says a writer,
that my grandmother told me about
her cat and dog. she used to find the
cover off her doughnut Jar, and also no
ticed that her doughnuts disappeared.
One day she heard a noise and found
that the cat was on the shelf where the
doughnuts were kept. Then it put its
paw in the jar and drew out a dough
nut and pushed it off the shelf, and the
dog, who was looking up at the cat,
caught the doughnut in his mouth and
ate it. When they found they were
caught, they acted very guiltily.

An Ideal Wife

A well-known young preacher, in
giving his view of the ideal Wife, re-
Gently said:
"The ideal wife's motto should be
Don't nag She has a sweet DISPOSE
tion. More important than beauty.
than education, than talent, than prac-
ticality. than wealth, is sweetness and
disposition in the making OF a home
Such a possession is partly constitu-
tional, partly due TO self-control and
partly to reasonableness. Her sunny
hopefulness makes a haven OF the home
for the bread winner returning from his
battle with the outer world.
"The ideal wife is a master in do
nestle economy. The home is her
realm. and she is to be an fntelligen.
queen reigning over the whole domestic
economy. The waste, the extrava-
gance, the disorder, the ugliness of
many homes make a happy married
life impossible. The ideal wife takes
an intelligent interest In her husbands
life work. She tries to enter into her
husbands trial, 10 appreciate his ann
bitions and to work with him for hnan-
cial, professional and social success.
"The ideal wife has determined ia
hold her husbands affection at any
cost. Love lives and thrives on the
same things after marriage as before
marriage. The unpleasant awakenings
which come to many wives can usu-
ally be mastered by attention to the
taste and peculiarities of the husband.
and then exercising that tact. patience.
winsomeness and forgiveness which
hold and conquer the coarser spirit of
