There is so much Rheumatism every.
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read,
ers of large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-

take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few VIC
Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture, and
in most cases permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.

THE DODDER PEST AND ITS

In the seed used. The ultimate con-
troll of the plants may depend upon
early efforts to discover and destroy
them. This is particularly true if the
plants appear in few places in the
field
The proper time to destroy the
plants is before rapid branching en-
ables them to reach many host plants.
Then every firm hold of the dodder
suckers becomes point of independ-
ent growth, and the difficulty of reach
ing all of them is greatly increased.
New seedlings, therefore, should be
carefully examined for this pest.
Under favorable conditions the dod-
der seeds germinate but little slower
than seeds of clover or alfalfa. The
young plants therefore appear at
about the same time as the clover.
Their discovery in the seeding at first
is practically impossible By the time
the crop is six or eight inches high
the dodder will have branched suffi-
ciently, as rule, to render it's pres.
ence noticeable for short distance.
This permits removal of the plants
with the least loss to the stand and
with the most likelihood of success.

Field dodder grows to the top of the

TAKE THEM OUT

Study On.

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind of
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.
A boy writes from jamestown, N. T.,
saying: "a short time ago I got into
bad condition from overstudy, but
Mother having heard about Grape

satisfied my hunger better than any
other food, and the results were mar

Duration. The only cure for turning
the toes in is to turn them out again,
and keep them that way.
Straddling is as harmful as it is
unpleasing. A good rule is to walk
with the feet just the distance of one
foot apart. Thus straddling and knock
kneedness are alike avoided.
When one walks correctly there is
straight line from the ears, through
the shoulders and hips, to the feet,
just as when one sits correctly there
is straight line from the ears to the
center of the sides of the chair.
The most important of all rules is to
walk always on the balls Of the feet.
To locate the ball, put a box or large
book on the floor, and place your foot
on it, with the heel free. Then raise
the toes and the remaining portion is
the ball.
Walking on the heels jars the entire
body; walking on the toes gives a
mincing and affected appearance. The
ball is the cushioned part of the foot,

1907 A RED LETTER YEAR..
Right to Vote Won by Women in Four
Countries Of Europe.

Right to Vote Won by Women in Four
Countries Of Europe.
Women all over the world are be-
ginning to look upon 1907 as red let
ter year for their sex. Their first no.
table step ahead this year was the
granting Of parliamentary suffrage to
the women of Norway. Then Swedish
women were made eligible for muni-
cipal office; next came the granting
to the women OF Denmark of the right
to vote for and serve as members of
boards of public charities, and now
the British parliament has just passed
the bill making women eligible as
men.
In 1888 when the county councils
were Instituted in England it was
thought that women were eligible, and
three-Lady Margaret Sandhurst, Miss
Jane Golden and Miss Cons-were
elected by the voters of London.
Beresford Hope, who had been =; de-
feated by Lady Sandhurst, contested
the election on the ground that women
were not eligible. The litigation was
prolonged and meanwhile the women
were allowed to serve. One of the
duties assigned to Lady Sandhurst
was the supervision of twenty-three in
FAINT asylums. When Mr.. Hope finally
succeeded in ousting her one of the
leading London dailies sarcastically
remarked:
ut is to be hoped that the gentle
man will find himself equal to mother
ing all those babies"
