Perilla oil is somewhat similar
to linseed, and is used in Japan

Practical Nature of the Swiss Shown
In Their Gardens-CoW Houses
Built Over Springs.

The Swiss gardens are quaint
combination of the artistic and prac'
teal, writes F. Harris Deans in the
Wide World. A row OF geraniums
will be followed by line of red cab
bages; lettuce and lilies grow in per-
feet harmony side by side; archways
are covered with scarlet runners. The
effect. however, is quite pleasing.
In many cases, too, the farmers take
advantage of the numerous springs on
the mountainside and build their COW
houses over them, thus ensuring a
constant supply of water running
through the COW house. I observed
this for the first time one day imme-
diately after having quenched my
thirst at sparkling spring. ! felt q
horrible doubt that all was not clear
that sparkled:: It was hot day, but
I felt quite cool as I retraced my steps
and tracked that spring to its source.
was relieved to find that the farmer
who owned that particular spring
didn't keep cows; should have be-
come a vegetarian if he had. After
that l found lukewarm water from a
Gasthaus more refreshing. What the
eye doesn't see the stomach doesn't
grieve about.

He was thin and sharp, with iron
hair, eyes blue like the points of a
drill, and manner as of constant
clicking. He had abridged the courte-
sizes of life to a formula of brief con-
ventfons; but in the discussion OF dol
lare he was almost voluble, his voice
raced. He waited, seemingly hung on
a string like a suspended pendulum,
while Randolph Mason in a dozen
sentences stated the gist of the I'M

Mr.. Flint spoke monosyllable to

The president of the Union Fuel
Company laughed, his voice cackling
like spinning cog-wheel.

An ugly sneer gathered in the cor
ners of Mason's mouth.
"You do not amuse me-" he said;
you annoy me-"
Mr.. Andrew Flint flushed and turn
ed sharply in his chair.

he said.
mot quite ended" replied Randolph
Mason. Listen a moment, II you
please. It is the law of the State of
West Virginia that life tenant-that
is, one owning life estate in lands
cannot open mines and remove coal
or minerals from such lands during
his life, but must get his living from
the surface and pass over all the
wealth beneath his feet to his success
sor. He may be sick, weighted with
debt, starving, the wealth of the In
dies may lie beneath the sod of his
lands like buried treasure, yet it is
held in certain decisions that he can
not touch it. Does such rule of law
seem to you to be justice?"

He wandered to the place to which

was bewildered for a few seconds,

and replying to a question from a
young sa]esgirl with a lot of blond
hair, he timidly told her what he
wanted.
In less than two minutes he was
again bewildered by an avalanche Of
artificial hair goods-puffs, coronets,
switches, and lot of other things he
had never heard Of.

The salesgirl explained that the

himself in a maze Of hand and ma

A CHECK TO

the Blood and Overcome
the Rheumatic Poisons.

Rheumatism defes any treatment
that does not build up and purify
the blood. The poisons of rheumatism
are in the blood and it. is only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully. ..t.< ~
rheumatism cannot get toothold.
When it does the thin and impure
blood is not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alone. Unjust be strength
ened and purified. DR.. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People are the best blood
building medicine you can take. They
make new blood with every dose and
promptly check further progress of the
disease. They make the blood so pure
and strong that not the least trace. OF
rheumatism remains.

Pale People for indigestion and rheu-
matism from which I suffered for over

by impure blood. The rheumatisH

and knees and especially in my arms,

that I could hardly sleep at night. I
used liniments of many kinds, but they
didn't do more than drive the pain to
some other part of the body and I did

|'When I read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in our weekly
paper made up my mind to try
medicine that had actually cured some
one else. A few boxes cured me and I
think SO much of the pills that I keep
them in the house to use as tonic. Ny

think the pills are the best medicine for

Suggestion for New Holiday.

Suggestion for New Holiday.
Texas has an "onion day." Com.
menting on its observation, a New
Yorker said to Galveston merchant:
1.-THE Lone Star state has the better
of the Empire state, for we have no
vegetable or flower to which we do
fearful homage as you do to the frag-
rant onion. The fact is, we are open
to suggestions as to a new holiday.
The latest proposition in that line was
a moving day. Now, don't misunder-
stand the term. Those who move will
not celebrate; they will just move and
experience all the joys pertaining to
that heart and Misunderstanding func-
ton. Those who will celebrate will be
the people who can look on."-New
