Celebrated II. II II. Medicine IS not q
mere perfumed lubricating oil, the APP
plication of which serves only to amuse
and occupy the patient, but Is in reality
a scientific combination of powerful
chemicals and potent drugs, which
have the marvellous property of going
straight 10 the seat of the pain, where
they act upon the lymphatics in such
q manner, that the cause of the pain Is
absorbed and removed. Ii does not
matter much whether the pain be due
toan abnormal swelling, to sprains of
the joints or strains of the muscles or
tendOns, 10 rheumatism, lumbago,
neuralgia, sciatica, TO tOothache or
headache, all Of these are quickly re-
lieved by the magic effect of II. II. II.
No other medicine or liniment seems
10 equal it in the rapidity or certainty
ofits action. Often a single thorough
application causes the pain and dis
comfort to vanish, as if by magic.
The II. II. II. is used only externally.
1t is put up in IS cent size and a1O

A MODEL STORAGE PIT.
II Keeps Vegetables from Freezing
During Winter and from Grow
Ing During summer.

One of the most serious problems
for vegetable growers is TO secure
a storage place which will keep vege'
tables from freezing during winter
and also prevent them from shrink
ing and growing during summer
Numerous plans have been used,
some of them with most satisfactory
results. ln the northwest, Mr. S. j.
Fairfield, Of Minnesota, describes his
method in a recent issue of the Min
nesota institute bulletin. Quoting
his own language, he says: 81 want
firm, hard seed potatoes from which
no sprouts have ever grown. TO Sc
cure these, the potatoes should be
put in cave prepared especially for
this purpose and so arranged as to
control the temperature in winter
and summer, keeping it as near TO
the freezing point as possible. Put
the potatoes right in on the. earth
and keep them dark I'm this way

Make your cave of any size. shape oi

pit in the ground. Cover with poles
a few corn stalks, a little straw anC
six TO eight inches Of earth.
"a yentilator four feet long and
Tx inches outside measure should
be extended through the roof neal
the center, projecting is inches be
low the roof. II is made Of four-inch
board and is eight inches wide by
four feet long. in the form Of n
loose box without ends. a square
plunger should be made. Of inch
board, the same length as the VEN
tilator, using four-inch boards six
inches wide by four feet long. Nail
a board that just fits over the bot
tom Of the plunger and adjust over
the top. so that when the plunger
is placed in the ventilator the board
on top will prevent its slipping into
the cave. The plunger should be
filed with sawdust and wrapped with
a piece of old quilt or padding, so
that when it is in the ventilator, the
hole will be completely stopped and
consequently frost proof. Put a
screw hook into the bottom of the
plunger and on it hang a reliable
thermometer. so that you can go to
the top of the cave, draw ont the
plunger and see what the temporal
ture is down below without having
TO open it. The outline Of my cave
is shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
an order 10 keep the temperature
uniform, throw snow all around the
cave as soon as the soil is frozen
hard, and cover i with straw or old
hay. The snow will keep the cave
warm in winter and cool late in
spring. IF nights are very cold. keen

II it gets below % degrees pull out
the plunger and hang a lantern on

it up during extremely cold periods.

rule will outyield the other kind"
This plan has worked very well and
can be recommended. or course. as
Mr.. Fairchild intimates, every vege.
table grower must work ont the de.
tails Of the plan himself. The sug.
gestions are excellent. II is easily
possible TO construct cave of This

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

A large orchard poorly planted and
poorly tended will not produce as
good results as fewer trees well cul.
tivated.
II is p good deal more trouble TO SET
trees IN a straight row than in a
crooked one, but they look better and
are more easily cultivated.
Many unoccupied fence corners
might he growing trees If set there.
In few years they would be a
source Of beauty and comfort.
Whenever root grating is used in
the winter the plants should not be
set out in the spring unless the

Two FranI. confedernte GenernI,.

/ aAt
The present writer once asked a
confederate general, long after the
civil war (but now many years ago).
how he really felt about the failure
of himself and his associates to es-
tablish separate government. He
said: do you want me to tell you
the TRUTH" The answer was. of
course: yes" well" said the
honest old veteran, Il am sorry we
failed; think we should have done
well as a separate nation" We
bonored him for his frankness. and
afterward told the incident to an
other confederate general. who said:
did Gen. - say that? Well. he
always was a failurel"
We find it difficult to believe that
the stubborn old confederate, were
he living to-day, would still declare
that he was sorry" But if he did
do so, he would be, as the years
vent on, still more Of an exception.
still more Of psychological curios-

MUST PAY LICENSE.
Persons Who Distribute Circulars
Rated as Bill Posters.

A. B. Duvall, the corporation counsel,
has rendered an opinion to the District
Commissioners, in which he holds that
persons who distribute circulars in this
city are amenable to the license required
Of bill posters, $50 year. The authori-
ties have lately received many complaints
about the circular nuisance and have been
endeavoring to take steps to prevent Its
continuance. The requirement of license
from all those who distribute circulars will
effe ctively regulate the business and re
suit in improved conditions regarding waste
paper In the streets, parkings, etc
The question was first brought to the
attention OF the Commissioners by Major
Sylvester, superintendent of police. The
papers were referred to the assessor, Mr..
Darneille, who in reporting to the Com
missioners upon the subject, quoted the
provision In the license act of the legis-
lative assembly, under which licenses were
issued to bill posters prior to the new act
of July l. 1902. This act of the assembly
provided that bill posters should pay so
annually, and added: Every person whose
business it is to post advertising bills or
distribute circulars shall be regarded as
bill poster; provided, that no license shall
be required of any dealer who may post
or distribute advertisements Of his own
business"
The corporation counsel says:
'It Is the conclusion of the superintend-
emit of police as well as that of the as
SCISSOR that act of July l. 1902, may be
interpreted by the definition in the act Of
the legislative assembly. 1t is not neces-
sary for this purpose to determine that
any part of the act Of the legislative as
sembly referred to Is not repealed. for 1t
Is an admitted rule in the Interpretation
of statutes that clauses which may have
been repealed may stiI be considered In
constituting the provisions that remain in
force My opinion therefore is that the
act of July l. 1902 imposing a license
upon bill posters may be interpreted so as
to include every person whose business IT
is to post advertising bills or distribute
circulars"
