The Sunshine.

Everybody should live on the
sunny side of their houses as
much as possible: and allow the
suns genial rays to penetrate the
rooms. Darkened parlors are
fashionable evils. True, it is
gloomy enough to be ushered in
to tomb like apartment, where
one can scarcely grope his way to
a seat, and to discover, when his
eyes become accustomed to the
light that every chair and sofa
has on its cluster, apparently
equipped for travelling to some
unknown land. But ladies must
have their carpets kept bright
and fresh, even if their cheeks
are the paler for it, And so the
shutters are tightly closed and
the heavey curtains drawn.
But for the sake of health and
beauty, ladies, let this be done
only in the "best parlor" if it
must be done at all. Let the
rooms where the family live be
cheerful and sunny. No lady
would expect her house plants to
send out full, brilliant blossoms
unless placing them at a window
where the sunshine would in,
vigorate them. No more should
she expect her children to show
fresh, rosy complications, unless
they live in light, sunny, airy
rooms.

Best Stomach
Remedy Free

It is an old saying that if the stomz
ach is sound the whole body is safe,
because SO much depends upon the
proper working of the stomach. Many
persons find themselves with a dis
order of the stomach which pro-
duces dyspepsia or a peculiar state of
biliousness
IF you suffer from both stomach trouble
and constipation you are on the way to a
very serious disease. From just such con-
ditions come appendicitis, rheumatism;
skin diseases and similar disorders, be-
cause the waste matter that should have
been dispelled from the system through
the bowels has found its way into the
blood and vitiated it. What is needed at
this point is not simply a violent cathartic
tablet or salt, which usually does more
harm than good, but a gentle laxative
tonic like DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
which people have been using for these
ailments for nearly a quarter OF a. CEN
tury. 1t cured ]. c. Lanham, of War
standing, also William Vol, of 903 Ellis
son ST., Louisville, KY, who had the
trouble for fifteen years
However, if you have stomach trouble
you want to know from personal expert
ence what DR.. Caldwell's Syrup, PepsiD
will do for you. If so, send your name
to the doctor and a free trial bottle will
be sent you. You are urged to send for
be the best recommendation Of DR.. Cald
wells Syrup Pepsin. Then you will do as
over two million people did last year-gO
to your druggist and buy regular, bottle
at so cents or 81, according to the size
you prefer. We could mention hundreds
and hundreds of families who are never
without it.. You can never tell when some
member of the family will need hxa-
taking DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

A couple of girls, thinking to

young man they expected to call
on them during the evening, put
up job to do everything he did.
When the young, man arrived,
and after the usual courtesies,
the first thing he did was to blow
his nose, which each of the girls
promptly initiated, with a gig

it a peculiar coincidence, the
young man somewhat nervously

the hens will have something to
wallow in this winter.
If the young poultry have been
allowed to roost outdoors, now is
the time to gather them in and
teach them the use OF the hen
house.
There is nothing in the theory
that color or plumage has some
thing to to with the hardness of
the fowl. Breeding, feed care

There should be a good egg
harvest on the farms where there
is so much waste of rich milk. The
first new milk the COWS give be-
fore it becomes fit for table use,
abounds in egg-making qualities,
and is nearly as good as so much
fresh meat, and will not hurt the
fowls.
Do not be deceived by think
ing that if your fowls get the
roup they can be easily cured.
Genuine roup, when once seated,
is a very difficult disease to
eradicate, but is is a very easy
matter to avoid it. Keep the hen
house dry by allowing free
ventilation and avoid allowing
the hens to roost in a draft.
In mild climates November is
the time to prune grapevines;
but in very cold localities it is
safer to delay the pruning until
severe cold is practically over,
say the latter part of February.
Cut back new wood so as to leave
only two or three buds on each
cane.
Coal ashes should be saved for
mixing with heavy soil in the
vegetable garden. They have
almost no fertilizing value, but
help to loose up some soils. SCOT
should always be saved when
fiues and chimneys are cleaned,
for it is invaluable, especially
for roses. 1t is beneficial as a
fertilizer and drives away in
sects. For radishes, onions and
cabbages it is helpful, for it dis
courages the cutworms an d
grubs. Wood ashes are especial
ly valuable as a fertilizer and
should always be saved.
The much use of cayenne pep
