Home Uses for Lemons.

A teaspoon of lemon juice in
small cup of black coffee will relieve
bilious headache. Two or three
slices of lemon in a cup of strong tea
will cure a nervous headache. Lemon
Juice is better than any drug or COM
plexion powder for giving permanent
clearness and beauty to the skin.
Lemon juice (outward application
will allay the irritation caused by the
bites of insects. A dash of lemon In
plain water is an excellent tooth
wash. 1t not only removes tartar, but
sweetens the breath. The Juice of a
demon taken in hot water on awak-
ening in the morning is an excellent
liver corrective. and for stout women
is better than any anti-fat medicine
ever invented.-Boston Globe.

VT, has found way. Read what he
says: I'm looking over the record of
our hens for the past six months, we
find the production of eggs per hen
far exceeds any previous year, this
too in the face of the very severe and
long continued cold weather of Janu-

Honor to whom honor is due We at.
tribute this very gratifying gain in
eggs to the daily use of Pages Per.

this season and you may rest assured
our orders for poultry food will be
increased in like proportion"

A Radical Cure.

In the schools of a Connecticut
town measures were recently taken
to test the children's eyesight AS the
doctor finished each school he gave
the principal list of the pupils whose
ewes needed attention, and requested
him to notify the children's parents
to that effect.
One night soon after the opening
of the fall term, a little boy came
home and gave his father the follow
ing note duly signed by the prlnci-
pal:
mfr. ----, Dear Sir: 1t becomes my
duty to inform you that your son
shows decided indications of astig-
matism. and his case is one that
should be attended to without delay
The next day the father sent the
following answer:
Dear Sir: Whip it out of him

How To Win Premiums on Poultry.

]. T. Uric of Craftsbury, Vt, was
Sne of the largest exhibitors of poultry
at the Lamoille Valley Fair at Morris
Vile, VT, and the large number OF
premiums he won is indicative of the
care and attention he gives to his fowls.
Poultry keepers will doubtless be in
terested to learn of his methods. The
following letter from Uric & Sawyer,
Of which firm the above named is a
member, will partly explain: "'Page's
Perfected Poultry Food is all that you
claim for it and is as staple as granu-
lated sugar or -four. Mr.. Uric, who is
Z breeder Of fine poultry, uses it in bis
yards all the year round. We would
like to be agents again the coming sea
