CHEAP STUMP DESTROYER.

The following communication
clipped from the Trucker and
Farmer offers cheap and simple
way a getting rid of stumps:
81 may interest those of your
readers who own land, on which
there are stumps, to know that
whether they have one stump or
one thousand on their land, how
they can get rid Of them at the
expense Of a few cents per stump,
and enrich their land more than
a few stumps.
after the stump has gotten
dry, take a pinch bit and bore
one or more holes in the top g
holes is enough for the biggest
stump a to 6 inches deep in top
of the stump, and fill it with kerr
osene oil. Repeat this for two or
three days. The oil goes every
where that the sap once went
After three days put a little dry
straw, leaves or paper on top of
the stump and set fire to it. The
fire will not only destroy the
stump but follows each root, large
or small, TO the very end. The
wood ashes left are worth more
than the oil costs"

AVOID SEDATIVE COUGH MEDl
CINES.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence Of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain iodine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for the germs
of pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has world wide
reputation for its cures. ltcontains no
morphine or other sedative. For sale
