In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
in tellectual 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 a 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 Sic-"7he young girl who
used the Pernna was suffering from
Iaryngifis and loss of voice. The result
of the treatment was most safisEac-
tory. She found great relief, and
after further use Of the medicine We
hope to be able to say she Is entirely
cured. "-Sisfers of Charity.

the Sisters OF Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good
results as the a bove letter testifes.

SHADE TREES ON FARMS.


Most farmers pay little attention to
shade trees. speak especially Of small
farmers. Some seem to take even saw
age delight in cutting down every tree
within reach. II they are to build q
home in the woods. the first movement
Is to clear away every kind of growth
until they have a bare spot OF ground
which they afterwards plant with stunt
ed cedars or cottonwoods, as II anything
could take the place of the grand oaks
and other forest trees 80 ruthlessly
chopped away. l wonder II these van
dals ever stop to think what it takes to
produce great. spreading oak, or other
native tree. I suspect not. A strong
man with an ak may destroy, in an hour,
what 1t has taken centuries to produce.
1t makes one sick at heart to witness
tho ruin that these wretches have
wrought. Every farm house should be
surrounded by beautiful trees and none
are more beautiful than native oaks
with their large, spreading branches.
or course the shade should not be too
dense. so as to produce dampness.
There should be some opening for
glimpses of sunlight now and then. Nor
should the trees touch the house, or
ov"rhang it. There should also be
enough light and sunshine to nourish
a rich carpet of grass. Every field
should have at least one good shade
tree, and pasture fields should have sew
ersl so that the stock may find shelter
without molesting one another Shade
is grateful to both man and beast. What
Is more refreshing to toilers in the har-
vest field than a short breathing spell
in the shade of some thickly branched
tree? If the farmer is bent upon econ
Omy, let him plant fruit trees for shade.
large apple tree with heavy top
makes very fine shade. Cattle will keep
tho bending twigs trimmed off evenly
and help to thicken up the canopy that
protects them. good, large apple tree
makes very satisfactory shade without
sped1lng so much ground as a large oak.
THIS point may be considered. if one
insists on economy. The fruit of the
apple tree may also be marked up in
its favor. There is no reason why it
should not be considerable item. The
pleasure of getting fruit fresh from the
tree will also count for much to the tired
labOrer. The culture of family is ex-
hibited in the shade trees and other ex-
ternal characteristics of their home as
much as in their speech and the clothes
they wear. These are what make the
old country homes so impressive. No
matter how elegant in itself, no house
can ever seem like true home while
standing in a bare field exposed to the
broiling sun and peltirg storms-T. C.

SWEET POTATO CROP.
II Proper Care Is Exercised 1t Can Ee
Stored and Kept Successfully
for Long Time.

Sweet potatoes can be stored and
kept perfectly if certain rules are very
carefully observed. First, they must
be dug when the soil is as dry as pos
sible; next they must be very carefully
handled all the time, and third, they
must be very carefully stored. No cut
or bruised potatoes should ever be
stored. They should not be thrown
into heaps when they are dug, but left
to lie along the rows and dry in the
sunshine. They should not be thrown
into wagon body, but packed care
fully into baskets or boxes. If they
are to be stored for market, a special
ly prepared house is necessary. A
width of Is feet is best with a length
according to the needed capacity. The
walls should be doubled and we'll
packed with sawdust. The house
should have a ceiling, a loft and a
span roof and the loft should be
packed with straw. Above the roof
there should be a protected ventilator
which can be opened or closed. There
should be passage through the CEN
ter, with Slated shelves arranged on
both sides. A good heating appara-
tus must be provided. In the south
three or four oil stoves will do for
this; but in the north the best ar
rangement is a good brick furnace at
the end with a large sheetiron flue
passing overhead through the house.
After the potatoes are stored, the tenn
perature should be raised to about 80
degrees for several days, till the po-
tatoes are through heating and have
dried off, After that the temperature
should be kept not lower than 40 de-
grees nor higher than so degrees. The
ventilator should be opened whenever
it rises above this point.-Prairie

Citizens Say City Shouldn't
Sell Water to Farmers.
MAY BE BROUGHT GEFORE COUNCIL
A Rate of 90 Cents a Thousand Gal
Ions Charged and Payment De-
Ponds On Farmers Honesty.

Residents in the north end Of the
! city are complaining that while the
water department compels a close
observance of sprinkling rules in or
| der that the city's water supply may
be husbanded, farmers are able to
purchase all the water they desire at
80 cents per thousand gallons.
Inasmuch as the city's water sup
ply has been cause OF keen appre-
hension on the part of officials this
season they aver that the sale of
water to out-of-tCwn parties should
be discontinued. The matter reached
such a point today that it may be
brought before the attention of he
council tonight
When questioned about the sale Of
water to farmers Registrar Mclean
his morning said. Farmers are able
to buy water of the city at the rate
mentioned but it has been a practice
in vogue for years. During the early
part CT the season we had consider
able trouble from farmers who made
it a practice of loading up their
wagons from some stand pipe in the
city and drive off without saying
anything about it. We have put a
stop to the practice as far as pos
sible and believe that every gallon
Of water going out into the country
is paid for
The farmers who are securing the
bulk of their supply from the city are
a number owning and operating farms
close to the city. Most of the water
is obtained from the standpipe at
the W. & C. R. R. ice house and at
the north end of Rose street, For the
city to get its pay, depends III a
great measure upon the honesty of
the parties supplied. 1t is impossi-
BILE to station a man at the stand
pipe to keep a record of every wagon
load taken and a settlement is
reached at the end Of the season when
the farmer makes his statement.

mead Of one of the two men. 1t struck
him on the back Of the head and
knocked him ten feet from the anchor

The rush of an incoming wav swept
him away from the ship, and for a mo-
ment it seemed as if he would surely
be lost. Then was justified the wis
dom which had placed the line about
his shoulders. The men on deck drew
him in, unconscious but safe, and in
ten minutes he was declaring to the Of
ficer In charge that he could surely hook
that block the next time.
But the captain had formed another
plan. He determined to haul up the
anchor as far as was possible, so that
it should have the smallest room for
play, and to make harbor. Just at
nightfall she reached quiet waters, and
once more the unruly anchor was let
go again.
