would do well to attend his own county
fair. You need the recreation; you will
gain many new ideas of value to you in
your vocation. In the exhibition of
what your neighbor farmers are doing
you will and stimulus to effect that
will be helpful to you. The reasons
why the county fair should he visited
are too numerous to be named, but
few may be considered with profit.
First, a brief holiday season has been
earned by father mother and children,
too, and TO enjoy it is break in the
monotony Of general farm life that win

recreation, will be found an educational
institution of both mind aud body.

Third, it is by far the cheapest and
easiest way to get acquainted with the
country, its productions and its people
One will know more about and can talk
more intslligently of the county after

Fourth, county pride should be a
powerful incentive to an annual pilgrim

Fifth, the money that comes into the
county fair treasury, ia excess of prem

been the means of giving comfort and
strength to the weary invalid during
the past four years while tuberculosis
has been doing its silent but fatal
work. y beautiful, sweet and noble
Christian life has closed. For more
than twenty years her home has been
in our midst and during all that time
her quiet, dignified and exemplary life
has won for her large circle of
friends. Especially in her home her
earnest, thoughtful, self-sacrifcing life
was lived most effectually and there
she will be most deeply missed. A de-
voted, faithful wife, Il loving and ten

Anaemia, the disease from which
Miss Matthias suffered, comes on so
gradually that it is advisable to begin
treatment as soon as the first symptom
is noticed, to prevent its becoming
deep-seated and persistent. The dis
ease is characterized by pallid COM
plexion, pale lips dull eyes, tongue and
gums bloodless, shortness of breath on
slight eXertion-especially upon going
up stairs; palpitation of the heart;
feeling of impending death; weakness,
and loss of appetite and ambition.
