Good That the Osler Die
tum Has Done

The humorous remark attributed to
Professor Osler that man reaches the
climax OF his powers at forty and at
sixty ought to be gently chloroformed
of the stage has done a world Of good
even though. as DIR. Osler claims, he
did not really say this. The alleged
saying has been printed throughout the
United States and Europe. In Eng
land il has stirred up an almost ex-
citing discussion. A London paper
points out that now men will have a
stronger motive even than women to
keep young and conceal their age as
they approach forty. To woman age
means loss of physical attraction. To
men, according TO the alleged Osler
dictum, it will henceforth mean "a
serious deprecation in their cash val
ue." The writer says, IF passing
forty IS to knock a considerable sum
of mans living OF perhaps TO deprive
him altogether of a chance Of earning
a living. l have not the slightest doubt
that a great number OF men will deem
It wise to remain at thirty-two OF some
such age until they are too old to
summon enough breath TO gasp out the
lie" Good! Now let the masculine sex
as well as the feminine wake up to
the disgracefulness of growing old. The
notable point Of the quotation from
the English paper is that the article
from which It is taken was written by
a man.

The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price Of

A 4eo.AcRE FARM YIELDS 25 PER

What Mercer County Ohio Farmer
Received from One Years. Crop.
Extracts from an interesting letter
from P. H. Rynhard, of Starbuck
Manitoba, Canada, gives an excellent
idea of the prosperity of those who
have gone from the United States to
Canada. He says:
Il bought, August, 1908, $50 acres
OF land, paying $4,000 for it. We
threshed 1913 bushels Of wheat and
between 1900 and 1900 bushels of oats
and barley from 200 acres. But part
of the wheat went down before filling
and was not harvested except for hay,
The crop was worth at threshing time
$1,000. Besides 100 acres laying idle
except timothy meadow which is not
included in this estimate. Counting

ment Two brothers in the same neigh
borhood bought 100 acres each six
years ago. They have not done sin
gle thing to this land except to fence
1t and break and cultivate about one
half of it. Harvested last year %
bushels wheat per acre. This year q
bushels per acre They can get any
day $25 per acre. These are only
few of many hundreds of such chances.
1t looks like boasting, but truth is
justifable and the world ought to
know it, especially the home-seeker.
I know of quite few farmers that
have made fortunes in from 10 to 30
years, retired with from $4,000 to
100000.
Writing concerning another district
in the Canadian West, S. l.. Short says:
Dear Sri have to inform you
that have just returned from the
Carrot river country in Saskatchewan,
where l located land of the very finest
black vegetable loan, which am
proud of, all will move in the spring.

An eminent physician says that
'Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to q
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions arc
asked. even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with UNI
married women.
Is 1t any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form Of trouble
peculiar TO women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinlsham. Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.
