In buying food-products, several things
are to be thought Of i. e., Economy,
Results, Easy Handling, Reliability, but
the most important is Health.
Health means everything. In buying
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, eic., if the
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss Of money. In buy

piled, there is not only loss Of money,
but perhaps an injury to health which

Perhaps an additional reason
why Emperor Nicholas desires to
meet the enemy is that he carries
on his body the mark Of a wound
inflicted by a fanatical japanese
policeman when he was attacked in
a theater at Otsu, during his visit
to Japan in 1898, only having been
saved from death by the noble ac.
tion Of his cousin, Prince George
of Greece. Should he finally con-

Growers of corn should take extraor-
binary precaution in securing and test
ing their seed this year. Reports from
many portions of the corn belt indicate
a degree OF vitality much below the
average. No corn that does not show
a termination of at least IS per cent or
that does not show a strong vitality
should be planted A simple method
of testing is to wrap representative
sample Of the corn that is desired for
seed in wet cloth or paper and place
in warm room. This should be mois-
tened from time to time. At the end
OF five days it will be well sprouted if
it is suitable for seed. Basing estimates
on such tests, no poor seed need be
planted.
