a sheep pasture.

subdivision was placed on the market
lots have steadily advanced in value
until now lots are held at $500 up, sold
on easy terms to the home builder and

1t Is impossible to estimate the num-
Der of people who are suffering more or
less constantly from one disease or am.
other, but when one can readily tell the
one afflicted who is anxious to make a
showing, as 1t were, OF his trouble. The
other day q young woman was sitting
directly opposite me in street car,
who appeared to aggravato her condi-
tion, evidently, because she was anxious
to let fellow passengers know that she
was sick.
True, she had a slight cough. but the
motions OF her head. the position OF her
body the very expression of her eyes
plainly told me that she was somewhat
feigning. Why she did so no one can
tell; but speak from knowledge when
say that some people are anxious to
make others believe that they are suf'
fering worse than they really are. Per-
haps many OF us have done so while
young, some to avoid going an errand,
Others to stay at home instead of going
to school, but what excuse Is there for
the grown-ups?
1t is a sod mistake to feign sickness,
because such attitude usually does ag-
gravate the disease. If one Is sick the
best thing he or she can do Is not only
to suppress the actual feelings but to
forget all together. Forget your
troubles be they of a physical or mem
tai nature. Keep them out of you"
minds as long as you can, even though
you have to do so at a slight expenFe.
People who are sick and keep thinking
of their condition invariably get sicker.
| Forget about it-forget about 1t. In
time you will be surprised to find that
the disease has entirely disappeared
nay you will wonder whether or not
you really were sick. This is not Chris
tian Science. or any other science-it is
commonsense. Remember, none of us
ever had too much common sense, and Il
greater degree of 1t than most of us
now possess should be made welcome.

it would bring relief. Remember the
dictum, Nothing venture, nothing

Another reader wants some remedy
for a grown-in toenail which is COM
mencing to suppurate. Buy nickel's
worth of burned alum in powder form
and dust it all over the toe. Then
wrap a piece of absorbent cotton
around it. The next day soak the
whole foot in warm water and remove
the cotton and powder. Repeat the
process for a couple of days. Wear no
shoes while suppuration is still active.
| A writer asks what of ophthalmology.
All I know about it is what it's dis
coverer claims for it. "Ophthalmology,"
according to the definition of DIR. Chas.
Mccormick, who first brought it to our
notice, sis the science which teaches
how to get we'll and keep we'll without
the use of drugs or operations" 1t
goes without saying that mankind is
sorely in need of such a science, provid-
ing it is positive one. Drs. Davis and
Wilson, the gentlemen who practice
ophthalmology in this city. are, accord
| ing to my best knowledge and belief
thoroughly reliable.
Does smoking affect the heart?" is
another query of one of our readers
The answers to this question are yes
and no. Excessive smoking undoubtedly
affects the heart. OF course this brings
up another question, which is not so
easily answered, namely, what is ex-
cessive smoking? That would depend
largely upon the constitution Of the in
dividual; for what would be excessive
in one case would be only moderate in
another. Smoking per Sc is bad habit
of which one cannot readily rid himself
q know, but if the individual can con-
troll the once contracted habit he need
have no fear.

There is no duty more imperative upon the Unions than that of impress ing the young people with the lessons of thrift, honesty and economy. The daughters of the farmers should live to become the wives of good men and the mothers of righteous children, and the sons should have every opportu- nifty and every incentive to make worthy husbands of such women-but what a task it would be to work some of the raw material that is now com ing on into such ideal patterns!

When a man attends to his own business, it is apt to be as well done as he knows how to do it. When a number combine for the purpose, and play an honest part, there is the com. bined wisdom of many men. This is the fundamental idea of the Farmers Union. It is to unitedly look after the farmers best interests that there is such an organization. It is to do this thing better that the principle of edu. cation is emphasized in the name and inculcated in all the work of the order.

After all that art, science and litera- ture has done for the world, the fact stands out that about all that is worth living for is the home.

Go ahead and do the diversification act, but do not get the idea into your noggin that diversification means to simply change to some other crop. That is rank nonsense. The farmer who quits planting cotton and plants a sole crop of peanuts is not diversi- fer at all. He is simply a one-crop man, as he was before. If he cuts out part of his cotton and puts a part of his land in peanuts. he has started on the road to diversification.
