GENTLY ASSISTING nature

Those who find their breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the moth, q
coated tongue, mean feeling IN tie
head, wifi do well to try Iinklets, tile
new laxative.
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the booty are
being retained. 1t is a condition winch,
if not corrected, becomes chronic.
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and persistent
treatment with a gentle laxative.
The use of harsh laxativcs, untortun..
ately so common, gives temporary relef
but IN the end asgravates constipation.
Pinklets are dainty, sugar-coated pills,
hardly larger than a mustard seed and
they act gently, causing no nausea or
gripping. They aid digestion and are
good after-dinner pill, especially when
more food has been taken than the needs
of the body require. They clear away the
waste and prevent congestion. With
little persistence, which the result is well
worth, they really correct chronic con-
stipation. .,:,,

CAN POOR MEN BECOME FARMERS

In the current issue of Farm and firesde.
the national farm paper published at Spring
field, Ohio, David Buffrm. practical New
England farmer, writes an Interesting article
entitled "Can Poor Men Become Farmers 2"
He goes on to show how the man with little
capital can get started in agriculture much
easier than the man with no capital-precisely
as in the case of other business. He does not
absolutely discourage men taking up agricult-
ure without any capital. however. His art-
Gle is filed with practical advice founded on
experience. In the following passage he shows
how on the farm it is necessary for man to
work harder than anywhere in the world:
1.-THE new farmer should refrain, at first
from hiring much help. He should plan to do
most of the work himself. And he must work
hard-harder probably, at times. than he ever
worked before. For although there are slack
times on the farm-as in winter, when the
farmers work is easy and his hours short, or in
the early autumn, which is proverbially the
farmers holiday-it is not so in the busy sea-
son. His blowing, planting. and harvesting
must be begun and finished each in its proper
season or result in loss; and nature, with whom
he is working in collaboration, takes no account
of the eight hour law or of whether he is tired
must rise before he is properly rested. and be-
gin his days work tired and sore, nor can he,
as when wage Garner, leave his work behind
him on Saturday noon with no thought of it
again till Monday morning.
Il have laid the more emphasis upon the ex-
acting nature of the farmers work because SO
many city jewellers see in farming an easy
way of getting living, and from being long
accustomed to a taskmaster, forget that man
who is working for himself, if earnest and res
olute and determined TO succeed, may find in
the demands of the farm a harder taskmaster
than he ever worked for before.
II would counsel the greatest caution in all
who are thinking of taking up farming on
small means, it is right for me to say that for
man who is lesolute and resourceful, who
has learned to know the real value of things,
a I'd who, from sureness of his fitness for the
work and careful weighing of his resources
can see his way clear to reasonable chance of
success. farming offers an exceedingly inviting
field, and one that is worthy of both effort and
self-sacrifice,"

account is given of the canoe and camping trip
in Northern Maine. which included the ascent
of Mount Katahdin. DR.. Whites second trip
to Europe was made in 1885, and subsequent
trips in 1889, 1894 1896 and in 1899. In 1900
and 1910 he made trips to the Pacific coast In
his closing chapter DIR. White says:

gave much leisure to the study of ofnlthology,
and prepared large collection of our native
birds. Later | searched New England widely
for wild flowers and made extensive herba-
rum Many of them l transplanted, but they
rarely lived long. In more recent years have
found great pleasure in collecting abroad and
at home specimens of porcelain, made in the
most famous potteries, and pieces OF old Tor
egn and colonial furniture which adorn my
houses. Although constant and hard worker
have found time for the enjoyment of social
pleasures, for the reading of many books of

SOME SCHOOL SUGGESTIONS.

Another Maine man who retains lively in

E. Wilson, now successful business man of
Fort Collins, Colorado. In a personal note to
the editor of The Journal Mr.. Wilson says:
Have been keeping in touch with the prog
ress being made towards a new school build
ing. Belfast has certainly been sadly IN need
of good school buildings, if ever a city has,

right direction, is to pay your teachers more

for less salary than is paid hotel chamber

costs to run the city government"
The circular enclosed lows that the salaries
paid teachers are increased each year up 10

assistants are paid 5000 at the start and their
pay is increased to $1,000 at the end OF hve

Now that vogue DEGREES that the

comb has come into its own again.
last winter a young New York moth
or made a hunt through the shops try
ing to find one of these combs, but
her search was in vain.
Comes also the slate. 1t has been not
infreouent this summer to see a httie
tot at fashionable hotels going ABOUT
with nurse or governess carrying a
little slate. A year ago one surely
would not have encountered many
slates among a bevy of tiny tots, but
thew have returned to our midst. FER

And the fiat black slippers tied on
with the narrow black ribbons certain

among their toys until just lately. So
history certainly repeats herself, and
a delight it is to see old fashions and
customs revived.

Embroidered Gloves

The embroidered glove is a charm.
ing accompaniment to many pretty
evening frocks that are a trifie severe
in style. 1t introduces a color note
that repeats the tone of some special
feature of the gown itself. Generally
the design of the embroidery is slight,
open and widespreading, reaching from
wrist to the very top of the long glove.
Maybe now and sgain a little colored
stone is introduced to emphasize the
effect, but usually the bejeweled glove
is one where paste diamonds are
dotted at regular intervals up the back
of the long glove.

LOSS OF WAR EXAGGERATED
Real Facts as to Mortality and Proper.
ty Destruction In a Six Months
Conflict.

The destruction of war is not nearly
as great as II seems. Engineering Maya
zine states, II people do not produce
neither do they consume. and the man
who may have been making and spend
ing $40 day comes down to the 81
or even to the ten cent level without
particular detriment to himself or to
his similarly placed neighbors. The
total wealth OF Germany is $60,500 ,000,-
600 and even II the actual war wastes
were 100000 a day this In whole
year would amount to less than l per
cent OF the accumulated wealth Of the
fatherland. The average death rate In
Germany is probably twenty per 1000,
or 100000 year Kill 100000 sol
diers and you have only doubled for
one year the normal outflow. In four
years If the normal rate were lessened
from 20 to Is per cent, the loss would
be numerically made up. The loss of
life, the loss of time, the loss of prop
erty IN a six months war is, after all,
insignificant compared to the great
enduring life of the nation. Recuper'
alton will be rapid

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR
First Used in Franco-Prusslsn Con.
fIict, and Their Value Has Since
Been Recognized.

The first war in which pigeons wer,
used as messengers was the Franco
Prussian, and the birds carried news
into and out of besieged Paris. A post
was established at Tours, and right
through the siege regular mails we're
carried between Paris and Tours by
pigeons.
1t is not generally known that all
the armies and navies of the world
can fall back on official pigeons, II
necessary. and that the birds belong.
ing to the British navy have their
official standing and numbers just as
the handymen have.
During the Boer war the British
army had its carrier-pigeon system.
The birds brought messages from all
the towns beleaguered by the Boer in
vaders. and when Sir George Whites
force was cooped up in Ladysmith
winged messengers carried several dis,
patches from that gallant officer to the
men who we're slowly fighting their
way to his relief.

War and Football.

Yale's Bowl, the fell cirque" or
stadium in which the great football
battle with Harvard will be played
this fall. will be the objective of %
trainloads from New York alone on
the day of the game. The whole
structure will seat $1,000 people, and
1t is announced that every seat in
the Bowl is a good seat"-that is, it
has an unobstructed view of the play
ing field. Despite Cleveland H, Dodge's
protest against holding these annual
mimic battles" during wartime, the
Yale Alumni Weekly says they should
60 on. If the contest in Europe has
any direct reaction on American col
lege football it would seem to lie in
the direction Of eliminating the brutal
factors of the game.
