Far Better than Chemical Compoundla

The United States Department Of

merate the weeds, which grow, 10 the
great annoyance OF the farmer, that
have been found by experience 10 hc
useful az medicine, We will give them

They are; Burdock, dandeIIon, vel.

jimson weed poison hemlock, worm
seed and mustard. These are very IL
mlllar TO the average farmer, who
daily upro0ts them, ana makes ii his
buslncs TO exterminatc them.
We believe that when the medical
fraternity get over tIelr micFObe craze,
and are willing TO leave their chemical
laboratories long enough TO get ont
into the woods and fields, they will
discover remedies great deal less
harmful and great deal more potent
among the weeds than they will ever
find in Il chemical laboratory. We have
faith in nature. We believe that ma
ture has provided what remedies are
necessary for disease. Should the doe
tors take to the woods and fields for
their remedies, not only would their
patients be benefited, but the doctors
themselves. The air and sun to which
they would expose themselves, leaving
for a while the stencil and poisonous
odors OF the laboratories behind, would
do them lots Of good.
We will undertake the easy task of
showing that the weeds which the
farmers throw away have done more
good in the world as medicines than
all the compounds devised by tho
chemists with unpronounceable Latin
names.

The seriousness Of fire losses in the
United States becomes conspicuous as
one gets down to details. Here Is an
Interesting comparison: The revenue
Of the State Of Maine in 1903 was, in
round numbers, two million five hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars; the
damage done by fires in the State dur
ing that year is estimated at five thou
sand dollars more than that sum, with
out taking into account the destruc-
ton by forest fires, which would have
added more than million dollars on
the wrong side. Doubtless almost any
other State would make quite as bad a
showing; but such figures, whereso-
ever found, are full Of suggestion.

purpose of erecting model tenements in

duplicate substantially the splendid

cent people can live In comfort as

prise. The tenants pay for what they
set, but they get a great deal more
than other landlords give for tho
money. The tenements are business
enterprise also. and yield a profit of 4
per cent ON the money invested. Doubt
less the new one viii pay as well, aud
forty thousand dollars Will become
available every year to build more ten
ements. Evidently this is the feature
OF the goOd-housing question that ap.
peals most forcibly to the man who
gives the million dollars. He does not
need or want the per cent. but he
does intend that his henefactlon shall
endure and benefit an ever.increaslng
number. As a business man and as n
philanthoplst he might iustihably nm
ticipate day when, by the natural
law OF growth, model tenements shall
displace the other kind. We speak OF

ity, even, should be administered on

Portable way OF living should aid to ex.
