Make Your Farm Prsttier.

Few farmers realize the damage
brush and briars do on the farm. and
especially In the pastures. A brushy
farm will have tendency to lower
man'g self-respect. A farmer has a
right to and should take pride In his
farm. It will make him of more use
in his community. People will re-
epect him more, other things being

Saws Health Does Not Exist.

Health, one of the big English au-
thorities (Sir Michael FOSTER, puts it,
does not exist. 1t is like happiness.
Each has goal or limit, which, while
seemingly attainable. eludes perfect
possession. The body consists of a
number of mechanisms which have
the closest and most exact relations,
and as they approximate to harmony
there is health, but when disordered
there Is ill health.

AVOIDING TROUBLE AND FRIC-
TON IN HOME LIFE.
Some Temper-Savng Devices-Vaca-
tons for Overworked Nerves
When Parents Should Re-
strain Restless Boys.
BY MARGARET E. sANesTER.

BY MARGARET f. SANGS Elk.
Copyright, 1906. by Joseph B. Bowles9
If only people knew the wonderful
virtue, almost the magic that is
bound up in a stitch in time, three
fourths of the illness, annoyance,
friction and trouble in home life
would be eliminated.
Take the commonest matters of re-
pair in an ordinary house. How we
neglect little things that might
be. mended or adjusted in an in
slant if somebody would take the
trouble and if representation were
not the fatal habit of the best people
under the sun. A screw is loose in
a doorknob and the knob comes off
in the hand. A very little time and
pains would set the thing right, but
nobody notices it and presently the
lock itself becomes disordered and
useless. Broken sash cords, leaking
roofs, sagging hinges, loosened paper
and any number of other petty vexa-
lions and negligences detract from
the respectable appearance of home,
til it costs much money and cOnsid-
cradle effort to attend to them.
Loss of temper is not generally put
down as an item in the domestic bal
ance sheet, but it might as well be
since it mars the peace of far too
many homes A box of tools and
somebody who is handy in their use
are great savers of temper in house
hold economy The seasonable use
of paste and glue and of paint when
needed give a house that look of
thrift and beauty that adds much to
its value in the market Nothing is
more undesirable in a home than a
rundown look, consequent on the
neglect of the stitch in time.
We laugh at colds and regard them
as the disagreeable commonplace of
existence. The plain truth however
is that colds are nearly always blum
ders, that might have been avoided.
Repeated colds and neglected colds
pave the way for the entrance of those
malevolent germs that undermine the
very foundations of life. To keep the
body in state of the highest posi-
BILE vitality is the part of wisdom, and
this may often be done by the use of
a stitch in time.
Be it noted that a stitch is not a
pin. Thousands of inconsequent peo-
pie stick in pin when they ought to
thread a needle and take stitch. A
stitch implies something permanent.
Those who resort when weary to
stimulants, tonics, bitters, narcotics
or any sort of artificial help that is
the tempting refuge of weakness, are
merely trusting to treacherous pins.
Stimulants and narcotics give only
temporary relief and the fatal ten
dency in both is to make their victims

and motive of the kissing are to be
considered Also the fact that in the
animal kingdom kissing chiefly ema-

distinction for the individual Kissed
may be the result. To be hated for
fidelity to a great principle sometimes
proves in the long run as advan-
tageous as to be applauded for deser-

Wine and Soup Eschewed.

Paris.-Wine has been falling into
partial disuse at many a fashionable
table in France and now soup is fol-
lowing suit. Doctors denounce soup as
delusion as far as nourishment is
concerned and tell fair patients that
figures will be none the worse II they
let 1t alone. So women are refusing
consomme with contempt, and their
male companions are looking more and
more askance at a dish which for
centuries has held the post of honor
of the great majority of French tables
in the homes of mobiles and peasants

When Jeanne Margaret Davenport

Competitive Tests for Skill in Caring

Wilkes-Barre, Pain the efforts to
still further improve the first aid to
the injured service in the mines of
the Erie company, competitive con-
tests were held at Valley View park,
near here, by eight teams of five men
each. These teams are composed of
the five most able first aid men from
each of the eight groups of mines
owned by the company, and the con-
tests were under the direction of Gen
eral Manager w. A. May and other
officials of the company.
The first aid service was estab
lished in the mines two years ago,
following the enactment of law
compelling coal companies to have a
small hospital inside each colliery at
which first aid service could be given.
Each mine then had a number of its
men trained by physicians in the
work of rendering first aid for all the
many different kind of accid ents
which can occur in a coal mine, and
the result of this has been the saving
of many lives. AS some 600 were
killed and about three times that
