stamps appeared and are being
issued by Postmaster Webb. An
entire new set has been issued and
the designs are a great improvement
over the old ones. The new two
cent value contains front face view
of Washington with name and dates
below of his birth and death. The
scroll work is very artistic and in
cludes draped flags on each side OF
the stamp. The color is similar to
the same old red stamp we have
been using since 1890, but is a deep
er shade and the Father OF His
Country is given very red nose
and his face is abCu half the size it
formerly was on the stamp. The
postal department will soon issue a
new set of stamped envelopes, 1, 2,
8, A and cents values. The pres
ent envelopes are all elliptical in
shape, although different in color.
The new designs will all be distinct
in appearance so that there will be
no confusion among the different
styles and shapes. One of the new
ones will be rectangular, one round,
one square and the other oval.

There are indications that farm
work will begin late this spring
owing to the soaked condition of
thousands of acres of the lower and
fiatter lands. A week or so ago
when the sun shone brightly farmers
were having their plowshares
ground and it looked as if work
might begin right away. Now they
are resting on their oars so to speak.
Many of them find occupation how
ever in cleaning their grain for SOW
ing and preparing in other ways
for active operation as soon as the
weather permits. 1t is said many
farmers will have difficulty in pro-
curing help. There seems more
than the usual craze among the
farmer youth for city life and there
are few takers for the twenty dollar
month jobs on the farm in COM
parison to the number needed.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when DID,, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. 1t
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is COnsump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
t'nat'S the best treatment.
