The problem of weed destruction is
perennial in every land Indeed soil
culture may be called never ceasing
war against weeds. OF the birds that
aid the farmer in this struggle the bob
white, the native sparrows and the
mourning dove are the most efficient.
They attack weeds at that vital stage.
the seed period; hence their work, es-
pecially against the annuals which de-
pend on seeds for perpetuation. is of
enormous practical Values. d. Judd.

IN Darkest SCOTLAND.
Terrible Condition of Crofters, Who
Live Like Animals.

Live Like Animals.
The local government board for Scot
land sent two commissioners to the
Lews Che island of Lews) to investi-
gate the sanitary conditions of the
crofterS dwellings. and their report
has just been issued. 1t reveals an
appalling ssate Of squalor and dirt in
the novels Of the poorer inhabitants.
The cottages, as a rule, are built Of
loose stones. with a turf roof the walls
sometimes being wholly Of turf. In
the best cottages the living room,
sleeping room and "byre" are divided
by partitions, but in some cases the
human beings share one room with the
cattle. In the byre there is large ac-
emulation Of manure. about three to
four feet above the level of the living
( room floor. On this heap are standing
I one or two COWS and occasionally
horse and some sheep. Sometimes
these animals are up to their knees in
the manure. Irregular holes in the
thatch provide entrance and exit for
the fowls, which nest in baskets hung
against the walls.
Outside the houses the ground is sod
den with water and drainage from the
byres and is altogether in a most un-
slightly and unsanitary state. The
drainage channels in front of the !
houses are often choked.
Among these squalid and most mis- |
cradle surroundings one is astonished |
to find healthy looking young men and |
women The commissioners were not
surprised to hear that whole house
holds have been carried off by phthisis.
The elder boys and girls we saw look
ed fairly healthy. The young children
under five years were miserable, puny
and anaemic looking things.
In one house" the report states, Eve
saw the wage Garner lying in bed Gn
the living ROOM in an advanced stage
of phthisis and splitting on the floor.
Around him were his wife and children.
In this house there was no partition
between the living and sleeping rooms,
and human beings and animals were
living in one large room. In all there
were in it nine people of whom one
was dying Of phthisis; three cows
above their knees in about
four to five feet of manure, sheep
and Il number of fowls.
"The water supplies, with few ex-
ceptions. in the whole of the Lews and
the Long island consist of shallow dip
wells liable to all kinds Of surface pol
luton, and when near houses often
situated in the most low lying and bog
" ground. They are almost universal
Y unprotected, and animals have free
lccess to them. In some we actually
saw ducks and geese disporting them
selves. These dip wells only contain
water during the winter months or in
vet weather In dry summer weather
he people are obliged to go long dis
ances in many cases to the nearest
stream or loch. In the case
# typhoid fever the shallow dip wells,
which are so common, are certain to
,e contaminated by drinking vessels
rom infected households" - London

To be such a successful wife, to re.

If woman finds that her energies

down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by tonic with

SMOKING ON TRAINS.
Travellers Were First Entitled t
Smoke by Rail 81 Years Ago.

Travellers Were First Entitled to
Smoke by Rail 81 Years Ago.
Accommodations for smokers in rail
way trains, which is now being dis
cussed, says the London Chronicle,
dates back only to 1868, and on Octo-
Der 1 it will be thirty-seven years
since travellers were first entitled to
smoke by rail. The question was
raised as an amendment to a board
of trade bill regulating the railway
system and providing, among other
things, for means of communication
between the passengers and the guard,
and also imposing a penalty of $4,000
on any company conveying principals,
seconds or spectators to a prize fight.
A clause enjoining smoking carriages
was proposed by Mr.. Sheridan, NJ. P.
for Dudley, and carried by a majority
of 16, after a debate in which John
Stuart Mill made his last speech in
the house, earnestly supporting the re-
form and recommending with remorse-
less logic that the last carriage in the
train should be reserved for smokers.

OVER SEA HABIT

Difference on This Side the Water.
The persistent effect upon the heart
of caffeine in coffee cannot but re-
suit in the gravest conditions, in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that
means each cup of coffee) weakens
the organ a little more, and the end
is almost a matter of mathematical
demonstration. A lady writes from
a Western state:
81 am OF German descent and it
was natural that / should learn at a
very early age to drink coffee. Until
was % years old l drank scarcely
anything else at my meals.
"a few years ago began to be af-
fected by a steadily increasing nerv-
BUSINESS, which eventually developed
into distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was add
ed asthma in it's worst form. My
sufferings from these things can be
better imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than did that COT
fee was injurious to me, and made ev-
cry effort to make me stop.
Finally it was decided a few
months ago, to quit the use Of coffee
absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food
Cofree as our hot table drink. 1 had
but little idea that it would help me,
but consented to try 1t to please my
husband. prepared it very carefully,
exactly according to directions, and
was delighted with its delicious faV-
or and refreshing qualities.
"Just as soon as the poison from
the coffee had time to get out OF my
system the nutritiVe properties OF the
Postum began to build me up, and 1
am now fully recovered from all my
nervousness, heart trouble and asth-
ma I gladly acknowledge that now.
