The COWS soon learn that spraying

What is Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claita it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes lining various
organs of the human body.
Another ingredient of Perunas cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the Un1teo
States Dispensatory as tonic.
Cedron seeds is another Ingredient OF
Peruna. The United States DISPENSE
tory says of the action OF cedron that
it is used as bitter tonic and in the
treatment of dysentery, and in inter-
mittent diseases as a substitute for
quinine.
Send to us for free book of testi-
nonials of what the people think of Pc
runa as catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it,

of the Well-Informed of the World has

acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark

That is one of many reasons why

Tea Much MaIigned.

One is always being warned against
tea as bad FOR the nerves, but one con
tinues TO drink it and seems none the
worse. We think tea must be maligneo
to a great extent. A survey of the Gus
toms of Russia has convinced us of this.
Russians drink tea which is composed OF
the stems of the plant compressed by
adhesive gum into cakes of various sizes
Eat the rate of about twenty pints day.
If human beings can stand that sort If
thing then we hold THAT the ordinary tea
consumed in England cannot do much
harm. 1t is curious how the success of
ones day really depends on tea. The
practice of taking IA cup in the morning
before breakfast has become almost uni
'versal nowadays One,s state of mind
for <at least a part of the day depends
almost entirely on whether this cup is of
the tight sweetness and temporal ure or
mot. Men have done their best TO break
up happy homes by exhibitions of ma
tutinal temper, which might have been
avoided had their morAing cup of tea
been satisfactory. And it is a we'll known
fact that woman deprived of her after
noon tea becomes thing of nerves and
irgltability. Tea is like tobacco. 1t must
be taken in moderation and not too
strong. And it has this advantage, that.
unlike coffee, it does not suffer from

Farming on Arid Land,

successful farming on arid land with
out artificial watering has been
broughG to the NOTICE of the Agricultur-
al Society of Germany, with an exgla-
nation of the method. In Syria and
Palestine, with practically no rain
from April to October, the fields in
July have fioarishing abundance of
Watermelons, ottcumbers, tomatoes and
other products, and plants continue
green and thriving until autumn. The
secret lies IN $50 blowing that the win
'ttr rains are subscribed and RETAINED in
rhe subsol. The blowing is shallow,
averaging only to 6 inches in depth,
sand after the full harvest it follows
each heavy nain as soon as the ground
begins to dry, the purpose being to keep
loose and friable surface to take up
the water from the" sGibs6il. In the
spring theland is plowed to depth of
about g ImcheS. The seed is dropped
by the pi'Sw upon the moist subsoil and
it is covered by the closing up Of the
loose soil. Protected by the loose Gov
ering, the subsoil furnishes sufficient
moisture for plant gwagNth during the
entire 'isay season.
