There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together. and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure

 SHOULD KNOW iI.

The adobe or sticky. soil. as it is commonly called, found in several sec tions of the west. while very rich and well suited to the growing of apples. pears and some other fruits. is very difficult to handle and must be plowed at just the right time-a few days fol- lowing rain. when the stacking has advanced to the proper stage-to secure results that are at all satisfac- tory. Rather oddly. though. while continued hot and dry weather tends to form a hard crust few inches be- heath the surface. there seems to be moisture more completely or on which fruit trees will stand more protracted drought. When one buys a sticky ranch he should have in mind that 1t will either be necessary for him to have solid macadam road leading fo his place. if he is to reach 1t during the wet season. or to lay in A sufficient stock of supplies and provisions so 1hat be will not have to leave his place for two or three months at a fime. The only pointer that the pro Speetive buyer of a sticky rancb needs is that he should be thoroughly acquainted with the antics of the soii dnring the rainy season. @ that he xti not be taken by surprise when tlAe sticky time comes

A Mist.k. Which Moth.r. Make.

N
 The mistake of mothers In the edu. cational line is to think that they must insist that their children. one and all. however different in taste or quality. shall be ground out through the same machine. Mothers do not need to make their children victims of system. The system can be made to bend, in many cases. If mothers will only go about it in the right way. A mother complained not long ago that there is in this day and generation little rev erence for parents. This is probably true. but whyf Are the parents of today compelling reverence by living their lives 50 fair and strong that the children needs must reverence them Reverence cannot be forced out of . child on demand or by saying 1t ought to be. but any mother can command 1t by being the kind of person . child can reverence. Better far. however. than the old idea of awe which our forefathers inspired in their children are the closs. beautiful friendships ws are learning today to establish with our children. the comradeship which jogs along with them in work and play in all their experiences. great and with the love and sympathy that never fail no matter what these experiences may be-

The old adage that one wedding makes two seems to be hoiding good in the Gould Drexel families.

In sections where the inroads of the woolly aphis are likely to be serious the young fruit tree may be protected by removing the soil for distance of two or three feet around the tree to the depth of a couple of inches and placing layer of tobacco stems and leaves or dust. These should be soaked thoroughly and the earth re placed. While the same means may be used to protect the root systems of older trees. the labor involved is greatly increased.

NsedIework Notes.

To make a buttonhole neatly in thin fraying materials Is difficult When not transparent an extra thickness of material can be added and later cut away close to the work.
 One way to finish the buftonholed edge of a eenterpiece is to leave mar row width of material when cutting out scsllops and turn 1t back into a narrow hem on wrong side.
 One advantage of the cord over reg ular padding is that it prevents tear ing at the narrow points of the seal Iops. If a stifr cord IS used It cuts through the buttonhoiiH9. Wind sev eraI thicknesses of alarming cotton to sether f the right kind sf cord can not be found

For the proper protection of the hives of bees it is well to put them where they will be protected from ex- tremes of cold in winter. but we have in mind one swarm of bees that made headquarters in an old hollow bur oak tree for four consecutive seasons and that during their period of hiberna- tion must have been subjected to tenn peratures of 20 to 2S degrees below zero. Whether they finally died of old age. froEe to death or sought warmer quarters we never knew.
