AduIteration Of Food.

This is the only civilized country
in the world that does not protect the
consumer against the open and flag.
rant adulteration of manufacturers.
This is a question of great Importance
to every citizen of this country to-day.
1t affects not only the economic policy
of the home, but it of necessity
grasps and jeopardizes the very life
of each individual member, of the
home.
Shall we continue to feed adulter.
ated candy to our children, and place
upon our tables the most dangerous
acids and adulterated foods known to
the scientific world? In a pail of
cheap jelly is sufficient acid to eat a
hole through your hand (if extracted
and concentrated). The same state.
ment will apply to adulterated vine
gar. What we want is a national pure
food law requiring that all foods that
are manufactured shall be marked
showing the proportion of ingredients.
One of the marvels of the age Is
the dexterity with which ambitious
manufacturers are adulterating or
actually marking, certain substances
by the employment of drugs and COL
oring matters wholly foreign to the
real artlcle'i Itself. J. G. Ware.

WHERE STEVENSON GOT IDEA
DIR. Jekyli and Mr.. Hyde" Had Foun-
dation in Real Life.

DR.. JekyIi and Mr.. Hyde" Had Foun-
dation in Real Life.
Among weird fiction there are few
novels to compete with ''The Strange
Story of DR.. Jelzyll and Mr.. Hyde" and
the story of it's inception is almost as
strange as the work itself.
Stevenson, it appears, had dealings
with a man named Samuel Creggan,
and did not like him. Hes a man
who trades on the Samuel averred
the novelist. "He receives you with
Salnuels smile on his face; but every
now and then you catch a glimpse of
the Creggan peeping out like a white
ferret. Creggan's the real man; Sam
Uel's only superficial"
This was what gave Stevenson the
first idea for the dual personality of
Jekyll and Hyde, but he did not begin
to write.
One night, however, Mrs. Stevenson,
awakened by cries of horror from her
husband, and thinking that he had a
nightmare, aroused him. He was quite
angry.
why did you wake me?" he asked.
II was dreaming fine DOGGY tale"
He got up at once and began writing
In a sort of fever. His biographer,
Mr. Osborne, says that it is doubtful
whether the first draft took him 80
oug as three days.

Furs play a most important part
III the wardrobe of the we'll dressed
woman Of to-day, their natural beauty
and their potency in enhancing feml-
nine charms alike endearing them to
womankind. Furthermore they serve
as a medium for unlimited 'expendl-
ture Of money unaccompanied by the
slightest approach to ostentation.
A woman may wear furs worth
thousands of dollars and give no un-
cue indication of the costliness of her
attire, and at the same time she may
rejoice in the knowledge that unless
she has deliberately made an insult
able selection she has added the fin
ishing touch to her costume with her
coat, scarf, toque or muff of beautiful
fur.
Furs are becoming to every woman
and the range from the white of fox
and ermine to the deep, rich brown of
sable and seal and the lighter hue of
squirrel and the glossy black of lynx
and Persian lamb gives every wearer
an opportunity to secure that fur
which will best harmonize with her
Co]oring and particular style.
While furs are general possession
Of American women, the kind and
quality being regulated by the length
OF the wearer's purse strings, little is
known of the habits or the ways or
the native habitation of the fur bear
ing animals. Few Wearers bother
their heads to trace the steps by
which the marten and the mink, the
crmine, chinchilla, fox and others
OF the fur bearing animals are lured
from their lairs in America, Europe
and Asia to pay tribute to human
needs and the demands of civilization.
The use Of the pelts of fur-bearing
animals as covering for the human
body is not one of the developments
traceable to civilization. for the abor-
igine knew of and highly valued the
warmth giving properties of the skins
of their four-footed associate dwell
ers in forest primeval. The processes
that develop all the possibilities Of
beauty and sOftness of the pelts, not
to mention the manipulatiOns of the
dyer, were unknown. however, to the
earlier wearers of furs and the ex-
rrlsite collections that fascinate the
eye and tempt the purse in the fur
riers' windows of to-day tell the story
Of the progress that has been made in
the fur industry with the advance of
civilization.
Now for a brief reference to the lit
tie animals which figure most con-
spicuously in the fur industry, taking
the sable as the leader of the group.

Slams Lost Revenue.

Siam is about to pay the penalty of
virtuous endeavor. Having closed up
all the gambling establishments in
the kingdom, which paid large reve-
nue. to the state, the government finds
itself sadly in need of funds. Siam
has hitherto enjoyed the distinction
OF having no external debt. The Brit
ish officer who occupies the post of
financial adviser, has asked advices
from London and Paris with a view
to floating in those cities loan of
$1C,OOO,O0O. The gambling revenues
which Siam voluntarily abandoned
when she abolished the gaming estab-
lishments amounted annually to about
4,5OO,OOO ticals, or $1,6OO,000.

A Few Varieties Of Strawberries,

Though a man may try many varie.
ties of strawberries he must ultimate.
ly settle down to few varieties for
market purposes. The varieties Diff
fer so much among themselves that
it is not at all easy to thoroughly
learn any one of them. When a man
tries to get thoroughly acquainted
with a hundred varieties he is at
tempting the impossible. Moreover,
he cannot easily diversity his treat
ment of them, and so most of the va
rieties get treatment that does not
give the greatest possible results.

GosIings.

In a state of nature, grass is the
first thing eaten by the goslings. Our
breeders take the hint from this and
provide grass for the goslings raised
in state of domestication. After the
little ones are week old they should
have a pasture of grass. AS grass is
largely heterogeneous, moistened corn
meal. acts as good balance and is
given the young goslings. The provi.
dent goose raiser also looks out that
they are supplied with all the grit
and sand they are likely to use. A
mash that contains cooked vegetables
is a good food to be fed once a day.
Any of our grains ground are good,
and meat in some form is highly desir.
able. In a wild state the costing gets
rot only grass, but also animal food,
which it early learns to find.

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

Ways That Are Pleasant. and Paths
That Are Peace.
It is the simple life that gives
length of days, serenity of mind and
body and tranquility of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbors, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences - they climb too
high and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that simple diet
has done her:
II have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. began rather spar
ingly, until acquired such a liking for
it that for the last three months
l have depended upon it almost en-
tirely for my diet, eating nothing else
whatever, but Grape-Nuts for break
fast and supper, and believe I could
eat it for dinner with fruit and be sat-
isfied without other food. and feel
much better and have more strength
to do my homework.
when began the use Of Grape
Nuts was thin and weak, my muscles
were so soft that was not able to do
any work. weighed only 10S pounds.
Nothing that ate did me any good
I was going down hill rapidly, was
nervous and miserable, with no ambi-
ton for anything. My condition i'm.
proved rapidly after began to eat
Grape-Nuts food. It made me feel
like a new woman; my muscles got
solid, my figure rounded out, my
weight increased to 126 pounds in 4
few weeks, my nerves grew steady
and my mind better and clearer. My
friends tell me they haven't seen me
look so we'll for years.

Too Little or Too Much Feed.

From English sources we hear com.
plant of some poultry keepers feed
ing their birds just enough food to
keep them alive and without any re.
gard for profits. We believe that in
this country we have little to find
fault with in the limited quantity OF
food given. The great abundance OF
corn and it's comparative cheapness
leads to its lavish feeding. Some OF
our poultry keepers would make
money by cutting down the ration.

The Parsons STRAIGHT Tjp,

The Rev. DR.. c. M. Lamson, who
was president of the board of foreign
missions at the time Of his death,
used to relate the following in rela-

parish, and was undergoing examina-

ton was asked him, do you believe
in a hell?"
The retiring clergyman Of the par

Bed-He Tells Of Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief
The case of Mr. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand. =.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: II was attacked by
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. didn't know what tho mat
ter was, but thought it was simply .
stiffness that would wear away in q
short time. It didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When I
finally. succeeded in getting home, it was
just as much as could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
''The doctor was sent for, and when no
had examined me he said had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was

bed if wanted to. It was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became so ex-
cruciating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
II suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice of
friend bought box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at dose, three times day. I was de-
termined to give them thorough trial.
"Two months after began to uso
them was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and a@month later
was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. I think DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine ever
used, and heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is a prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles p. Marston, Hampton P. O.,
New Hampshire. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured other painful nervous
disorders, such as neuralgia, partial par
alysis and locomotor ataxia. They arc
sold by all druggists.

Saving Few Cents on Plants.


It does not pay to save a few cents
on plants, if thereby poorer variety
is to be obtained. 1t is true that
sometimes high-priced plants are mere
worthless novelties; but that is not
the case as rule. Plants of the
standard varieties that are high-priced
are so for reason. There is always
a tendency to cut prices among agents
Of nurseries, but the man that gets
what seems to him a bargain must
look out. Perhaps the other fellow is
getting even by repurchasing poor
stock from some nursery other than
that he represents. Saving a few
cents in the first cost of the plants
may cause the loss of few dollars in
the years to come.

Wasted Farm Forces.

wasted Farm Forces. -
There is too much wasted force and
energy on the farm. OF all the wastes
OF the farm this is the most exhaus-
tive, most destructive Of it's resources.
me most vital values of the farms
resources, are essentially in the active
mental and physical forces of it's oper-
:atlVes. Deplete these and the produc-
ing capacity of the farm has been d.
mln1shed in relative proportion The
FARMER himself is the one directly re-
sponsible for the unnecessary expen-
dlture Of forces that could be utilized
10 better advantage, and so sacrifices
mcalculable energies by waste and
instruction that tend to incapaci-
tate both himself and his farm. Not
ao1e among other wastes is the un-
necessary power expended in doing by
hand, by main strength and awk-
wardness," after the manner of me-
dleval ways, the things that can be so
much more expeditiously and cheaply
done by machinery and improved tools
ana Implements. Only in instances
that are exceptions can it be con-
celved why such conditions exist as
are found over all the states where
not only energy and strength are
wasted, but time, which to the farmer
as well as tc the manufacturer, has
an appreciable money value that
largely contributes to the final deter
mlnation of profit or loss. The i'm
proved tools that are offered to the
farmer at fairly reasonable prices are
both labor and time savers, therefore
money savers that make for profit.
Manufacturers expend large sums of
money for advertising to call the
farmers attention to agricultural i'm
plements and various wares that he
may know that such are made for
him, by whom and where. It will cost
but penny for postcard and a mo-
ment of time to write it to secure
deliberately illustrated descriptive
matter that will give him detailed in
formation about any of the things de-
sired or that he is open to conviction
that he needs. With most of these
descriptions of implements and sup.
plies will be found conclusive evil
dence of the economy of their use.
The farmer will in all this matter
come in contact, as pure matter Of
business, with claims of the "best"
and the 'tonly," but he will do we'll to
remember that in this day of near
perfection both in invention and con-
struction that there are greater or
less numbers of standard and reliable
machines and implements and that
it is dependent upon him to select the
one that his judgment may indicate
as most suitable to his needs.
