WILL SUCCEED MRS. EDDY.
Mrs. Augusta Stetson of New York
Has Been Selected.

Concord, N. H., Oct. 23.-Mrs. Au-
gusta E. Stetson, first reader of the
Christian Science church in New York.
has been selected as understudy of
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder
of and high priestess of the cult.
This fact leaked out here and in
cidentaily explains the presence during
the last six weeks Of the countess Of
Dunmore, the most prominent of lead
ers of the church in England, and of
other Christian Scientists who have
the confidence of the aged reader at
her home in Pleasant View. At the
conferences held here a policy of alb
solute secrecy was decided on. There
fore, when inquiry is made at the mag
nif1cent home of Mrs. Eddy, or other
places, no information is vouchsafed.
When the card of a prominent mem-
Der of the faith was scent to the lead
er, asking for momentary interview
to present important matters, he was
referred to page AGA of Science and
Health, which reads:
at has been said to the author, The
world is Denentted by you, but 1t feels
your influence without seeing you.
Why do you not make yourself more
widely known Could her friends
know how little tine the author has
to make herself outwardly known,
excepting through her publications.
and how much time and toll are still
required to establish the stately opera
tons of Christian Science-rhey would
understand why she is so secluded"
Mrs. Eddy will publish within three
months an addition to her Science and
Health which, it is understood here
will deal at great length with the op
position of the medical fraternity tC
the science movement and advise hel
followers just what to do in hostile
communities.

The
General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because it's component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Sienna is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects

the twentyfour yielded at the rate of
III bushels per acre, another III and
third 1O4 bushels, while other ears
made f1fty-five, sixty-fve and seventy
seven bushels per acre. The row that
made the smallest yield had fifty-eight
barren stalks. The row next to the
highest had fifteen barren stalks, and
the row that made sixty-fve bushels
had fifty-two barren stalks. The ears
were all Of equal appearance and of
equal terminating quality. The re-
suits show very plainly that what we
have been for years insisting upon, that
the breeding Of corn in the field, the
removal Of disturbing influences about
1t, and the working toward an Ideal
plant as whole. plant Of productive
character rather than big ears, are all
Of far more Importance than the selec-
ton of fine ears by the score card
without any knowledge Of the breeding
Of the corn. Selection Of the largest
ears tends toward single-ear production
for 1t Is law Of nature that when we
increase the size Of the individual fruit
Of any plant we will decrease the num-
Der Of fruits, and when we Increase
the number we decrease the size Of
the individual fruits. But 1t has also
been shown that stalk with two or
more medium-sized ears Of corn will
make more corn than stalk with one
big ear. In test made for the yield
Of grain, one sample was from a sim
gle-eared plant, one from two-eared
one, one from a three-eared one and
one from a four-eared one, and the
quantity Of corn shelled increased ex-
actly with the number Of ears on the
plant. The breeding in the field to
breed out barren stalks is the essential
matter in developing the productive
character Of the corn, and the best
ears are merely relative and not by
any means the largest.

WHAT Is PE-RU-NA?
Is 1t a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is il Both?

Some people call Perura a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which Of these people are right?
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both q
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no efectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu.
cous membranes affected by the ca.
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con.
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength.

Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS

cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio of medical agents is formed in Pc.

an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there.
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grounded the

Horse Breeding.

To a careful observer it is clear that
horses are now better classified than
formerly. Thus the horse that is best
adapted to road purposes is placed at
such work, and the horse that is suited
best to the pillow and heavy hauling has
it's own proper work assigned. Hence
the advantage Of breeding for pur-
pose. The man who makes the best
success of rearing horses is the one who
clearly understands the situation, and
breeds what Is most desirable for his
customers.

Storing Potatoes.

There is more loss storing potatoes
than in storing any other crop. Barring
all waste from rot, there Is a heavy
shrinkage, both in quantity and weight
A bin holding 100 bushels will show a
shrinkage of nearly one-tenth, besides a
greater loss in weight. A bushel basket
full that will weigh fully sixty pounds
in October, when taken from the soil,
will not weigh so much after being
stored in the cellar during the winter.
The shrinkage in weight Is much less
when kept in pits closely covered with
earth, for there is then less chance for
evaporation.

PEACE TALK, 100000.
Cost includes 317 Dinners at The
Hague.

The Hague, Oct: 23-Now that the
international peace conference has
closed it is interesting to study some
of the figures which have been pre-
pared on the cost of the four months
session. The general expenses of all
the delegates are estimated at $3.50,
900, of which $4,000 was spent to pay
the cost of 317 dinners. The amount
spent by the various delegations, the
press associations and individual news
papers for telegraphic tolls amounted
to $225,072. More than a million
words of press matter concerning the
conference were sent out.

The practice Of turning cows on
young rye in the fall Is a good one, but
when the ground is very wet damage
may result. Grazing the rye causes it
to stool, and the young rye provides
late green food; but, while the rye field
may be used for cows In the fall, they
should not be turned on too early in
the spring. 1t does not do so much
harm for COWS to change from grass to
rye, as 1t does from dry food in the
spring to young rye.

The strawberry propagates Itself IN
two ways-by runners and by seed. If
the runners are kept from roofing, the
vine will make an effort to reproduce
itself from seed production Of berries)
In the spring. and some horticultWists
have given as their opinion that If the
vines are not allowed to throw out run
ners in the summer there will be no
loss Of vitality by the old plants. and
the matter intended to be converted In
to runners will be stored in the plants
and converted into fruit when the
proper time arrives. The first thing to
do after harvesting the crop Is to thor
oughly clean between the rows and
pull out the weeds between the plants
in the rows, so as to give the beds the
benefit Of the hoe as much as possible.
Moisture is always beneficial to straw
berry plants and the ground should be
worked deep at first and then kept
loose on the surface until late In the
fall, when the vines may be mulched.
Burning the beds should be done when
the ground is frozen. This, it Is claim
ed, will enable the plants to begin anew
in the spring, the old plants being
thereby invigorated, the ashes provid-
ing potash and the seeds Of weeds de-
stroyed. Leaves, straw or other ma
terials may be placed over the plants
before winter sets in, to remain as
mulch until early in the spring. Fer
tilizer Is applied both just after har-
vest and early in the spring. Petted
plants are runners that are grown In

Coal Ashes.

In one ton of ashes from bituminous
coal are 8 pounds of potash, 8 pounds
Of phosphoric acid, 81 pounds of lime
and a large proportion Of waste mat
ter. Coal ashes are said to be about
equal to clay, and are nearly Of the
same composition. They possess little
or no value as fertilizer, but serve
to assist light, sandy soils to retain
moisture, answering the same purpose
as clay. The percentage Of potash and
phosphoric acid contained Is too small
in quantity to pay for hauling and
spreading coal ashes on the ground as
fertilizer. If any benefit Is derived
it Is due to the mechanical effect of the
ashes On the soil and as an absorbent
material.
