SPLITTING NUISANCE
Hawking and Splitting is Caused by
Catarrh Germs

If the local authorities want to stop
the disgusting habit of splitting mu-
cous on the sidewalks, they had bet
ter instruct the people as to the best
method of killing the catarrh germs
and curing catarrh.
You can easily tell by reading the
symptoms below whether you have
catarrh or not:
Offensive breath, frequent sneezing,
discharge from nose, stoppage OF tne
nose, huskiness of the voice, tickling
in throat, droppings in throat. a~cough
pain in chest, loss of strength, varia-
BILE appetite, spasms of coughing, low
spirited at times, raising of mucous,
difficulty in breathing. loss of vital
force.
w. l.. Gokay has sensible remedy
(money back If it fails) for catarrh,
called Hyomei, which is vaporized
air so antiseptic that when 1t is
.breatned over the infiamed and germ
infested membrane, II kills all germ
life and cures catarrh.
The price. including hard rubber in
haler, is only $l.00, and money back
If it doesn't cure. Extra bottles 80
cents.
81 have tried almost every catarrh
cure on the market without benefit.
Have been using Hyomei for one
week and feel like a new man al
ready. VIM. V. Goode, Newark, Ohip

With a farm there is no constant
drain for house rent and the only

rural telephones, the life is not as
isolated and forlorn as it was few
years ago.
The farm is no place for a man who
feels obliged to hang out on street

man who cannot set himself at work

used or unused, all woodlands fenced
out, would allow of this protection.
He has only to put up two notices ia
"a inches each: Hunting prohibited
upon these premises with his name
attached as the owner or occupant

upon that land with gun in his hand

open that they are seen as rule.
The words Hunting prohibited up

place, or upon the side OF building,

THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME.

Reports from different sections of
the state indicate an increasing de-
mand for farms, but we have not not
ed any considerable change in this
section. Never before in history ex-
cept possibly for short time during
the Civil war was there so good an op-
portunity for a reasonably industri-
GUS man on farm as now. The mar
ket for all kinds of farm produce is
constant with an upward tendency
With the return of prosperity all over
the country, prices for farm crops and
farm produce will be higher rather
than lower.
The average mechanic and mill
worker in village or small city does
not earn over $3.50 per year and thous-
ands of them do not get over 5000 for
twelve months work. House rent and
fuel will take from $3.50 to 5000 Of
this, leaving for the support of fam
lily from $3.50 to $3.50 year. If the
working member of the family is sick,
the income is still further cut down,
while the expenses will be increased.
FOR the average man it means life
time of labor for the bare necessities
of life and with very slight prospect
of saving anything for old age.
The farm offers much more for rea-
sonable industry and care. The aver
age price of first class butter for the
past year has been thirty cents a
pound and is now higher and going
up. Well fattened six months old

Summer washing means days discom-
fort every week-unless> you use
Fels-Naptha soap.
A hot fire on a summers day is heart
breaking; every woman knows it. If you
wash with Fels-Naptha you don't need
hot fire. Boiling is unnecessary.
Fels-Naptha will clean the clothes bet
ter and quicker in cold or lukewarm water
than any other means That is whyl
Fels-Naptha is not only soap, but a
different way of washing.
No boiling. No hard-rubbing on wash
board to heat you up. No time wasted.
Makes your white clothes whittier and
sweeter than you can get them in any other
way: Wet the things, soap freely with
Fels-Naptha, let them soak for thirty
minutes; then rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry.
Sounds easy, doesn't it3 And it is easy.
II you have tried it, you know. If you
haven't, try it next washday. But be sure
and use Fels-Naptha the Fels-Naptha
way. Follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.

bother once the stereotyped form has
been learned. A note of thanks, of
coincidence. of informal invitation or
any such character calls for a certain
element of the personal and at once
gives few suggestions to the reader

personal pronoun.

some few rules to follow. varying. of
course, according to the degree OF in
