MAN OF DELICATE NERVES.
R~osenthaI, the Pianist, Made Much

Rosenthal, the pianist, is one OF
those entitled to have his crankiness

says the San Francisco Chronicle.
When he inspected his rooms at the
Majestic upon his arrival very late the
other night, he went softly to the ad-
joining doors, and placing his ears
close to the cracks, exclaimed In
broken English, "Zgodd, no sounds

scurrying excitedly down stairs and
into the Office, where the drowsy
night clerk was nodding at the desk.

FARMERS AND POULTRY.
The Kind of Pure Bred Poultry Which
Should Be Bought.

The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry f~ancier, in that he
has done all of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
teal utility, says Farming, whether
the hens from which he has been
breeding were producing 60 eggs a
year or 200 made no difference. His
whole aim has been to breed out of a
foul flight feather or two or to create
a better comb, an eye or a better tint
at a sacrifice of everything else. The
result is that when a farmer goes into
the market, to buy pure breeds, with
his money in his pocket ready and
willing to pay for the best stock, he
not only often pays for qualities he
does not need, but actually pays a
premium for something that has been
obtained at a sacrifice Of the very
qualities which he does need. There
are a few men, however, raising pure
bred stock that is bred to lay" or to
meet certain market demands, and
those are the men that should be
%patronized.

PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND

In any medical compound as much depends upon the manner in which it is
compounded as upon the ingredients used.
First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug in the
pharmacopeia has it's special action. To combine any drug with other drugs
that have slightly different action, the combination must be made with strict
reference to the use for which the compound is intended. The drugs may be
wei. selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY
THE PROPORTION in which they are combined.
1t takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. There
is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance Of proportion
car be determined. EXPERIENCE is THE ONLY GUIDE.
In compoundng a catarrh remedy DR.. Hartman has had many years ex-
peience. In the use Of the various ingredients which compose the catarrh
remedy, Peruna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonic the action of
each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how to arrange
them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the operation and the
chemical pecuEaries of each several ingredient in order to produce a pharma-
ceutcal product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists or chemists.
WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH
THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEM
SELVES.
The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes o.
temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. 1t must
be so combined that it will remain just the sam whether used in the logging or
mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the tropics.
A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any druggist
or physician to reproduce Peruna. tits the skill and sagacty by which these
ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much of its peculiar claims as
an emcacious catarrh remedy.
However much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value o
the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they
are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is the only way
medical compound car be made of real value.

Paper overcoat for Hive.

using building paper, says a writer In
Farming.
l cut a piece of the tarred building
paper so that it will be as wide as the
hive is deep-that will be nine and
one-half inches for Langstroth hives
and long enough to cover all four
sides of the hive and also have the
ends overlap several inches.
The first fine day after the bees
have been put outside, l take an
empty hive body and fasten to it the
bottom board with double-pointed crate
staples. Then lay the hive body on
its side and fasten the paper at n
corner with a thin strip of wood
mine was sawed out of dry goods box
boards. When the first corner is
fastened it is an easy matter to wrap
the paper and tack on the rest of the
strips.
After the hive is fixed and set on
the place of one containing bees, | re-
move the combs and bees from that
hive and put them in the hive that has
been protected by building paper. l
then shake all of the bees out of the
hive from which the combs have been
removed and wrap it with paper, and
proceed thus until all of the colonies
are protected.
l have never known any kind of COW
er with which a hive could be closed
so tight that no heat could escape
from the cluster, yet some bee keep
ers use nothing under the cover to
prevent the loss of heat. l use an en-
ameled sheet, with the smooth side
toward the bees, and IN this pieces
of old carpets or sacking, or pieces of
building paper, cut large enough to
cover the top of the hive, but not over
tapping. With an enameled sheet,
tarred paper would probably not be an
objection to the bees, but as it might,
it is better to substitute the kind of
building paper used for houses; place
it on top of the hive-and, of course,
under the cover.
Whenever a hive is opened in early
spring, heat escapes rapidly, which is

brood may be chilled and the colony
given a great setback. Whenever
manipulations are necessary during
the spring months a quilt should be
used to cover the hive while it is
open. Make it of several thicknesses
of heavy cloth, and have n side DARK
colored and the other side light, ant
large enough to hang dawn severa
inches on all four sides. The dark
colored side should be up during colo
weather in spring; for if the sun !!
shining some of its heat will be BETTE
absorbed. The light-colored side o
the quilt is for use during the war;
season when it is necessary to manip
ulate frames while robbers are bad
When a hive is opened, the quill
should be thrown over the top. Roll i

moved, cover up the top of the hiv'
again.

OVER $1,000 A YEAR AND LIVING"
That Is the Story of a Michigan Farm
er Who Lives In Western Canada.
Olds, Alberta, Dec. 10, 1906


Odds, Alberta, Dec. 10, 1906.
Mr.. NJ. v. McInnes, Detroit, Michigan:
Dear Sir and Friend-It will be four
years next May since / came to Olds,
and have lived here ever since.
Since 1 came here wheat has u

65 to lis, that l know of. l raised
that last year, lis Blu. to the acre of
the finest oats l ever saw, and oats
that l sowed 31st day of May this
year went 72h to the acre and weigh
ed Al lbs. to the bushel. My barley
went 40 bu. last year and so this year,
and was not sown until the latter part
of May. l had 8 acres of potatoes this
year and sold 700 bushels and put 275
blu. in the cellar, and no bugs to pick.
We have a fine Government Cream
cry at Odds. Our COWS made SAL per
head and l didn't feed any grain;
only prairie hay, so you see we are do
ing we'll. We have the patent for
our homestead now and am very
thankful that we came to Alberta
We have made a little over $1,000
each year besides making our living
l would not go back to Michigan to
live for anything. If l had my choice
of a ticket to Odds or a 40-acre farm
in Michigan I would take the ticket
and in two years l could buy any o.
them 40-acre farms. This is the coun
try for a poor man, as well as a mar

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
-Cuticura Cured in 6 Days.

IT had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time, and were always
itchy, and l could not keep from
scratching them. l had to keep both
hands band all the time, and at
night 1 would have to scratch though
the bandages as the itching was so
severe, and at times I would have to
tear everything off my hands to
scratch the skin. I could not rest or
sleep. l had several physicians treat
me but they could not give me a
permanent cure nor even could they
stop the itching. After usi.,g the
Cuticura Soap, n box of Cuticura
Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent for about six days the
itching had ceased, and now the sores
have disappeared, and I never felt
better in my life than I do now.

Sheen Raising In Australia.

The greatest industry of Australia
is sheep raising, mainly for the sake
of the wool, but also in part, of
course, for the meat. Australia now
ranks second among the great sheep
raising countries, Argentina being
first with go, 900, 900 sheep, Australia
second with $4,000, 900, and Russia
third with 100000. Only a few
years ago Australia was first, pos
sess.ng no less than LOG, $780, 900 head
of sheep. That was in 1891. Pro-
longed droughts were the cause Of the
destruction of many millions of Aus
tralian sheep, but since 1902 there
has been an annual gain. Yet these
sheep were not indigenous to Aus
tralia. They were first introduced in
1897, being of the Spanish merino
species.

Nav Dancer for Burglars.

A photographic device that will call
the police by telephone adds a new
hazard to the dangers of the burglars
profession. When an attempt is made
to force a window or door with which
the proper connections have been
made an electric current operates a
monograph in the garnet. The na-
chine calls up central and asks Tor
the police station. The monograph
then informs the officers of the rob
berry, giving street and number, and re-
peats this information as long as the
receiver is down. Meantime, the In
truder, all unconscious that an alarm
has been rung in, virtually walks into
a trap, and if the call is promptly ie-
sponded to is soon in the lookup.

BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.
New York Women Have surmounted
Great Obstacle.

Marvellous as it may seem, New
York ONE have lately discovered a
way of fastening their waists up the
back without calling for assistance.
Thought not lacking in generosity, they
became so tired of the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that they
now feel that it is time to guard their
pockets. The Gotham woman discoV-
cred that If she put her blouse on
hind side before, with the sleeves
hanging free, 1t could be fastened
from top to bottom, with the excep-
ton of the hooks at the neck, and
then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without un.
duly straining the fastenings. So sim.
pie! So strange that no one had
thought of 1t before. Or is 1t possible
other women have used the plan and
meanly kept 1t to themselves? Will
the waist that buttons in the back
now have a new lease of life?

FOUND HE COULD MAKE TIME.
One Call for Physician That Met with
Quick Response.

Life is such a constant rush to q
well-known physician that to secure a
little recreation he has recourse to
ruses. A visitor called one night, and
began a speech to the servant:
81 want the doctor to come over as
quickly as he can"
HE can't do it," the servant an
swered. HE left orders that he was
so busy that unless it was absolutely
a matter of life and death he couldn't
go out at all this evening" .
But" said the caller, ut isn't ILL
ness at ALL"
What them"
I'VE want him to come over and

The servant disappeared, and reap
peared a moment later.
"The doctor says he'll be over in ten
miutes. sir" he announced.

Excellent Advice Which Our Readers
Will Benefit BY.

Now is the time to get the rheu-
matte poisons and foul acids from the
blood and system, states an eminent
authority, who says that Rheumatism
and Kidney trouble are caused by the
blood, which often becomes sour from
excessive acids, and also tells what to
do to make it pure and healthy.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract
D~andelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a
bottle and take a teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime.
Just try this simple blood cleaner
and tonic at the first sign of Rheu-
matism, or if your back aches or you
feel that the Kidneys are not acting
right. Any one can easily prepare
this mixture at home.
