The Power OF Imagination.

An English physician made an inter-
esting experiment not lsng ago for the
purpose of determining the relative
power Of imagination of the sexes. He
dosed 100 of his hospital patients with
sweetened water, and soon afterward
entered the room, in great apparent
agitation, saying that by mistake he
had administered powerful medicine.
In few minutes four-ffths Of the pa
tients, mainly men, responded TO the
supposed emetic. Not q woman was
affected.

The Medicinal
Value of Water.

The human body Is constantly un-
dergoing tissue change. Worn out
particles are cast aside and eliminated
from the system, while the new are
ever being formed, from the inception
of life to it's close.
Water has the power of increasing
these tissue changes, which multiplies
the waste products, but at the same
time they are renewed by it's agency,
giving rise to increased appetite, which
In turn provides fresh nutriment. Per
sons but little accustomed to drinking
water are liable to have wasted prod
ucts formed faster than they are re-
moved. Any obstruction to the free
working Of natural laws at once pro-
duces disease, which, if once firmly
seated, requires both time and money
to cure.
People accustomed to rise In the
morning weak and languid will find
the cause In imperfect secretion Of
wastes, which many times may be
remedied by drinking tumbler of wa
ter before retiring. This very material
~ assists In the process during the
night, and leaves the tissue fresh and
strong ready for the active work Of
the day.
Hot water Is one Of our best rene.
dial agents.
A hot bath on going to bed, even in
the hot nights of summer. ia n hetter
reliever of insomnia than many drugs.
'nfamed parts will subside under
the continual poulticing of real hot
water.
Very hot water, as we all know, is
prompt checker of bleeding, and be-
side, II 1t Is clean, as 1t should be, it
aids In sterilizing wounds.

Six million two hundred thousand
farmers bulletins on a hundred and
forty different subjects were printed
for the Department of Agriculture dur
ing the past fiscal year. AS there are
about six million farmers, exclusive Of
agricultural laborers, in the United
States, this is one pamphlet for each
one. If any farmer did not get his
copy, it was because he did not apply
for it, for they are nearly all turned
free distribution. There is hardly a
subject in which farmers are inter-
ested that is not discussed in some one
of the various bulletins. Information
Is contained in them about the feed
ing of farm animals, hOg-cholera, how
to kill weeds, the care and feeding of
chickens, butter-making and the care
Of milk, the vegetable garden, good
roads, breeds of dairy cattle, bread
making, how to raise apples, rice-cul-
ture, tomato-growing, sugar as food,
insects affecting tobacco, cotton and
grapes; diseases Of potatoes and ap-
pies, how to detect oleomargarine and
renovated butter, tree-planting on ru-
raj school grounds, the Angora goat,
and scores of other things. 1t would
be difficult to estimate with any de-
gree Of accuracy the financial benefit
which has accrued to the farmers from
the perusal Of these bulletins. Such
men as believe they must be continual
ly studying to keep abreast of the
times and to understand the possibili-
ties of their business have been the
most diligent readers of the publica-
tions of the Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t is the benefit which these
men have derived that justifies the
continued expenditure of money by the
government for free education of this
kind, an education almost as necessary
to national prosperity as that provided
for the children in the public schools.
