A BEAUTIFUL LAWN.

Is an attraction in any country but particularly so in this where the light is extremely bright for so many months of the year. You must have a good lawn mower if you are to keep your lawn in fine shape. You can get a "Stilleto" mower this week cheap at Talbot & Hubbards. This implement is high wheeled. ball bear ing, making it. easy to run and quick in action. Better get your self into action while this price is on.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

Benjamin Franklin remains one or the striking figures of the reVoiu- ton. He was always a great De- lIcver in the home When one thinks how easy it is to possess one through the Home Builders and what pretty place Las Palmas is to live in ana how close to town the new car me brings it. there is little wonder that everybody is buying there.

Wives for Tobacco.

Using Time.

1t is always easier to wish that We
had more time than to use the time
that We have. So. by wasting time IL

precious asset of the actual and only
time that is really ours The person
who is not capitalizing all the time

the minute would not be much bet
ter off with forty-eight hours in his
day. Those who turn out what is, te
the rest of us, discouragingly large
amount of work, have simply learned
the art of using all their time-par
ticularly the hooks and corners, the
odds and ends, of their time. They
utilize a five or ten-minute scrap OF
time as eagerly as they do a halliday
Aud so things get done, and theii
years output seems stupendous. With
the average man, unless ne can see

work, he will attempt little out of the

Plans for tuberculosis Day.

Sermons on the prevention OF con-
sumption will be preached in thou
sands of churches on April 28, which
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis has
set aside tuberculosis day. Last year
out of 100000 churches In the United
States, over $4,000 observed Tuberculo-
sis day, and millions of churchgoers
were told about this disease from the
pulpit. This year will be the third
observation of tuberculosis day. Plans
are being made to have the gospel OF
health preached more widely than
ever before. The movement VIII be
pushed through the GOO anti-tubercu-
losis associations allied with the ma
tional association and through the
boards of health, women's clubs and
other organizations in hundreds OF
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try. Through these various bodies
the churches will be reached and in
terested in the tuberculosis campaign.

Charles H. Frazier essayed the deli
cate task of tightening up the valve
of his heart and reinforcing the entire
structure.
Examination disclosed the fact that
the aorta was about to rupture. This
would inevitably have resulted In
death.
DR.. Frazier opened the aorta as
near to the heart as possible and
deftly inserted hollow needle which
had been electrically insulated.
Through this needle DR.. Frazier push
ed and arranged in evenly distributed
coils more than six feet of solid gold
wire. This thread of wire was guided
by the surgeon through the pulsing
blood vessel by the sense Of touch
alone, and it was built up in the
aorta, at the point of it's weakest dila-
ton, just as weakened building wall
would be strengthened at its most
perilous point. Thus the heart was
bound round on the inside, with a
coil of strong but fine wire, caught
and held In place by the surgeons
trained fingers. Then the problem Of
preventing hemorhage arose.
Coagulation Of the blood was the
great, the vital end sought. 1t was
decided to employ electricity to obtain
this purpose. Coagulation takes place
at both ends of the galvanic current
that at the positive pole being small,
black and hard, and that the the mega
tive being larger, softer and of yell
Iowish color 1t happens that the
blood is the very best agency in the
body for the conducting Of electricity,
and when, as in this case, both poles
are inside the sac and near to each
other, a mild current of electricity
will cause vigorous electrolysis. In
applying the current to Braden a
rheostat was used to control the flow
and to prevent shock when it should
be cut off,
Thus by coagulation the reinforce
ment Of the heart was accomplished
over the gold wire framework and
nature is building a new wall within
the valve, stopping all leakage and
giving John Braden new lease of
life.

the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the

at times the whole lower part OF my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years.
