In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Iaryngi.
It's, and loss of voice. The result o.
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and affel
further use of the medicine we hOpt
to be able to say she Is entirely cured.
Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care o
the Sisters of Charity and used Perun;
for catarrh of the throat with good re
suits as the above letter testifies.

"The Proof Of the Pudding Lies In the

The doctors are dumbfounded, the drug
gists astonished, and the people excited and
joyful over the wonderful cures and tremen-
dous sales of the great Remedy, st. Jacobs
Oil. Every case of Rheumatism-some of
many years standing-has given way to this
powerful remedy. Thousands of certificates
like the following can be furnished as to its
value:-
George Scleyer, Publisher of the Chiffon,
Wis, "Volksbote," used st. Jacobs Oil for
almost unbearable pains in the back, which
had completely Frustrated him." A few APP
plications cured him entirely.
Mrs. Fred Eberle, Bellaire, O., was for a
long time severely troubled with Rheuma-
tism. st. Jacobs Oil instantly relieved and

fered SO intensely from Rheumatic pains that
he was unable to preach. Several applica-

ORCHARD IRRIGATION.
Principle of Capillary Attraction ts
BE Put to Practical Use by Colo
RADIO H0rticulturists.

irrigation on the capillary attrac-
ton principle is now being investi.
gated by the state board of horticul-
ture and the government experiment
station at Fort Collins with view to
recommending it for adoption in this
state. Fruit growers who have ex-
perimented with the scheme declare
it to be entirely feasible and much
more effective than the old way OF
feeding moisture to trees by way of
the roots.
Flage Carter, of Park county, the
first person to try the plan in this
state, wrote Gov. Orman some time
ago explaining the method of irrigat-
ing tree by capillary attraction. He
takes vessel, pan or bucket, or
anything that can be tied to tree
limb and will hold water. He fills it
with water and then bends n twig
about the circumference of an or
binary lead pencil into the water. The
liquid will be rapidly absorbed by the
twig and in turn water will enter the
limb and soon permeate every part
of the tree. The problem Of keeping
the vessels supplied with water is not
difficult one, for the reason that a
half gallon of water will do as much
irrigating as many cubic inches under
the present plan, the adherents of the
scheme claim.
Capillary attraction is the future
or orchard irrigation" says the orig
inator of the proposition. 81 took up
the matter two years ago, but did not
put it to a test until this spring. Then
/ had two treee that needed attention
badly, and l experimental with each.
One young tree had been rubbed
thoroughly by a horse and was wilted
badly. l applied my method OF
watering it, and within one week it
completely revived. I next treated a
sick apple tree, and now. it is all right,
thanks to capillary attraction prin-

TIMELY GARDEN NOTES.

Label all seeds before putting away.
Use both name and year grown on the
label.
Fruit cans, baking powder cans and

for garden seeds.
In northern ATTITUDES raspberry and
blackberry bushes should be laid down
for winter protection.
Work up down trees for firewood
before telling any more, and so help
the looks and increase the value of th :
wood lot.
Cabbage and turnips will stand quite
hard frosts, but it is not safe to risk
them out in the field or garden after
the middle of November.
When you get to getting out the
years fuel from the wood lot do not
slash into the trees thoughtlessly. Sc
lect those that interfere with others
or those that are dead or that are so
situated that they will never amount
to anything but firewood. Then fell

possible other trees when they fall

out of doors seeds should be put in as
early as possible in shallow drills
three to 3k feet apart and covered
with a half-inch of fine moist earth.
They need to be very carefully weeded
at first, but if the ground is clean and
mellow and the rows straight the
wheel hoe will be able to take full
charge of the work early in the sea-
son. It has been repeatedly shown
that cheaper, better and earlier
onions can be grown by transplanting
the plants from greenhouses or hot
beds, where the seeds are sown very
early. When the plantlets are as large
as lead pencil, they are set four
inches apart in rows three feet asund-
er, and cultivation is Immediately be-
gun with the wheel hoe. In growing
from sets the planting is made in
much the same way. Multiplier or po-
tato onions are similarly managed.

popular variety of the present day

DIR. Hartman, one of the best known
physicians and surgeons in the United

perseverance that it was introduced to
the medical profession of this country.

CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 41,2O6.-Capt. Alfred g.
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4, Can.
ton, Ohio, says: Il had weak back
ever since was boy, and about six
years ago the cause developed into
rather bad case of kidney complaint.
It was not little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
suffering day and night, and the harder
I tried to get rid of 1t the worse it
became.
'When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, ON account of
the twinges of pain in. the kidneys.
I can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from
knife thrust.
'In time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during the
night.
81 took everything which came tony
notice from reading, from observa-
ton, and which my friends and ac-
quaintances advised. I consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
sit became so well known that I had
pronounced case of kidney COM
plant that I often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
"When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention wanted to try them,
just as had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler went to Durham & Wright
Co.'s drug store for box. Relief fol-
lowed. I knew after dose or two
that the medicine was acting directly
on the kidneys from the altered con-
dition of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, I continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
"Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, would
willingly pay one months wages for
box of them if could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and I will
convince them that they act just as
represented"

Proper Time for Grating.

Grating should be done late in win
ter or early in the spring. Plum and
cherry trees ought to be grated be-
fore growth starts. Apple and pear
trees may be grated later, even after
they start to grow. Scions for graft
ing should be cut early in the winter
and kept in the cellar, wrapped with
damp moss, or in some manner to pre-
vent drying. Budding is done in July
or August, and sometimes as late a.

The onion is having sort of boom
in various sections just now as a good
money crop. Onions, it is hardly nee
essary to state, may be grown from
seeds or sets. Bailey has described ur
to date onion culture in brief as fol-

If seeds are used, they may be sown
in the open ground where the bulbs
are to mature, or they may be sown
in green houses or hotbeds and the
young plantlets transplanted to the
