Everybody realizes the necessity Of

drains and utensils in which may Turk
the germ of a dreaded disease.
Health is a question of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the use
of disinfectants in their ordinary sense
al of which are un%pleasantly asso-
ciated with disagreeable odors, OH
which are depended to kill the conta-
gion (Which d~isinfectants must Of ne
ceSsity be of a more or less dangerous
%character) and must be used for this
purpose and for no other, and in conse-
quence kept from children and careless
handling.
There is. however. within the reach
Of all our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only an
swer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multitude OF
domestic cleansing and purifying pur-
poses-BoraX.
Borax is a pure, white harmless pow

called Natures Cleanser and Disinfec-
tant."

Bostonian Appreciation.

From the New YORK Tunes.
DR.. David Starr Jordan told a story
on his last Brooklyn visit of John Muir
leading a cultured Bostonian up the
mountains that overlook the Yosemite
valley. Muir said that he led the Bos-
tonian along devious ways, SO that the
great, splendid valley would burst all
on a sudden upon his astonished eyes.
Finally, at a turn of the road. the
vast, multicolored panorama was
spread out before them. The Boston,
ian'S ejaculation Was as sudden as
Muir could desire: but 1t was this:
Well, now, how Car we get across
that damn gap?"

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; Il laxative which physicians could

Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
Days of Financial stress Make Farm
Lamds Look Rich.

A staff contributor of Il Southern /
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says: ut is IL well-knOwn fact
that the history of this government
shows that those men who have been
most successful in life and who have
left their impress upon its people and
Its institutions as statesmen, soldiers.
~financiers, have as a rule been those
whose youth was spent on the farm,
and it is to such as these that there
ONE with overmastering power THE
CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially
does it come with redolblcd persuasive
ness, greater power and sweeter plead
ing to the man OF affairs when the
clouds of financial unrest begin to dark
en- the sky; when the cry of panic
causes people to lose their wits and act
like stampeded cattle; when with rea-
son or without reason there arises he
fore him The specter Of ruin, grinning
IN his face and waving it's gaunt arms
in threatening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now pass
ed. suggests these reflections. Some
were ruined and a very few became in
sane because OF their losses. Two or
three took their OWL lives.
1t Is when such times come
that the statesman. the great tinai-
cier, and the man OF affairs becomes
tired of the struggle. He lays down
his pen, turns from his desk and
listens to THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds OF cases through
out the United States OF those who
have money IN the banks and are look
ing for Investment In lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take
for instance, the lands in West
ern Canada that can be bought
at from $40 to SIS per acre
which yield n G equal to and
often greater than their original cost.
These lands make n certain invest
ment. During the past two months
large investments in these lands have
been made. some intending to use the
lands for farming purposes OF their
own. others to resell to farmer
friends. The agents Of the government
OF Canada located at different points
throughout the United States have in
their possession particulars Of districts
in which there are free homestead
grants Of !6o acres, each accessible to
railways, markets. schools. churches,
etc. These are valuable lands. These
agents will be pleased to give informa-
ton to any DESTROYS of securing and
will tell all about the railway rates.
