VALUE OF FARM LANDS.

We talk of gold and bonds and
stocks, of busy marts and crowd
ed docks, of enterprises and of
banks, of values and commercial
ranks. But looming high above
them all, like mountain peak Sc
rene and tall, in proud and lofty
gradeur stands the value of our
farming lands.
We boast of towns that thrive
and grow, of trains that rumble
to and fro, Of ships that cross
the stormy brine, of jewels fash
ing in the mine. Yet all our ma
ton s wealth and charms de-
pend, at last, on better farms.
Of all the sterling sons of toll,
we need him most who tills the
soil.
The light has come. The
clouds depart, the farmer makes
his work an art. He scans each
field, each hill, each nook, and
reads them like an open book.
He knows each acre and it's need,
and scorns to rob for transient
greed. This is our epuntry s
guiding star, that points it to the
heights afar.-''Brad" in Kansas
Farmer.

In regard to the report that
he was a candidate for superin-
tendent of the city schools Of
Washington, Congressman Aswell
has issued the following state
ment: II have just read the
press dispatches of the 9th from
Washington that / had declined
to discuss the position of super
intendent of the schools of Wash
ington, leaving my position IN
doubt. / have declined to dis
cuss it for the very good reason,
/ have no interest in this or any
other position except to remain

perience convinces me | can in
future do some really definite
good for the people of the Eighth
district, whom | have the honor
and pleasure of serving.

TO ATTAIN OLD AGE.

The chances Of attaining old
age are much greater if We live
much of our life in fresh country
air. Statistics go to show, accord
ing to DR.. Desc of Budapest,
that the fourth generations of
che town dwdFler is unknown;
but enough is currently reported
to make the conclusion inevitable
that the sine qua non of longe-
vity is a certain amount of time
spent in the country. The city
child is subject to a number OF
disturbing conditions other than
mere absence of creature com
forts, which undermine the con-
stitution by throwing too heavy a
burden on the sense organs,
through which exhaustion Of the
central nervous system follows;
among these conditions are noises,
a perpetual round Of hurry, and

exhar sting the attention, to
which the superadded the physl-
cal discomforts of vitiated air
and effluvia from human beings
and waste organic products, be-
sides offensive gases and infec-
tion-laden dust. To attain old
age we have to relieve ourselves
from worry, strains and anxieties,
withdraw periodically from the
whirl of effortiful existence, mod
ify our diet, omit the use of stim-
Giants and narcotics, and spend
reasonably long periods of time
Under pleasant conditions in

The object Of advertising is to
impress your name and business
upon the public mind. In order
to do this you must put your ad.
in a paper where it will be read,
and you must keep everlastingly
at it. You can no more build up
a permanent and prosperous bus
mess by spasmodic advertising
than you can build up a perman-
ent and exalted character by
spasmodic virtue. You must
keep constantly at it until you
burn your name into the public
mind so that every time the peO
pie think of buying anything in
your line they think of your name
first. That is the drawing power.
That is the psychology of adver-
tising.-Ex.

DON'T SHUT THE AIR OUT
OF YOUR BEDROOM.

The nights are getting cold
now. It doesn't "feel good y
any more to put CD the thlnest,
scantiest gasments YOU have and
then kick the bedclothes off. You
kind thug the covers up now,
especially Gf mornings.
This change in temperature
must be provided for; and it is a
matter of some Importance as to
how you are providing for it
Are you putting on warmer
clothing and covering and warm
inc the bedrooms? If so, well
and good, provided you only
warm the bedrooms and do not
heat them.
Surely you are not trying to
keep warm by shutting the win
dows of nights.
If you are, you are making a
great mistake. That isn't the
way-it isn't even way-to
keep warm. 1t is likely to give
you both headache and cold
feet.
If you want to sleep well and
wake up feeling refreshed and
vigorous, put on enough bed
clothing to keep warm and leave
the windows open.
Yes, both of them. Lower one
a foot, and raise the other foot
and, Just so the wind doesn t blow
directly on you, forget your fear
of drafts, go to bed and sleep the
sleep that comes to the just and
the pure in hearts, only when
they treat their lungs justly and
when the air they breathe is pure.
