CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is rs much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. It may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranses the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and Is SO successful that 1t is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens and
tones the whole system. It builds up.
Ask your druggist for Hoods, and
insist on having it, There is no real

A REMlNIScENCE.

n "Reminiscences.
In 1845, my father purchased mill
property south of this city, and remov-
ed his family, from Centerville. We
had never lived in the country, and
everything in the valley was full of in
terest. 1t was in the fall when the
maple and oak trees were brilliant in
scarlet and gold. The birds were
migrating and they stopped to rest for
day or two in the large sycamores
that overhung the river. The wild
grape vines that chung to the bushes
were loaded with fruit, the red and
black haws were ripe, the persimmons
and paw-paws had been touched with
the frost and were ready for the table;
the hickory nuts and black walunts
covered the ground in the morning.
We were delighted with our new home,
and my father named 1t Happy Valley.
Near the barn was a group OF ten or
a dozen maple trees. In the spring of
1916 we asked my father to have the
man of all work tap the trees and help
us make maple syrup. The man drove
two forked stakes in the ground and
placed a green limb across them to
support ten gallon iron kettle, for
boiling the sap. The trees were bored
and "spiles" or spouts, driven in to
carry the sap to the buckets. The
man brought back log each morning
which was placed under the kettle to
keep the fire from blowing away, then
lighter wood was added frequently.
The children gathered driftwood from
the river bank and collected the sap
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-01-03

from the buckets. An invalid brother
filled the kettle and replenished the
fire. There was good sugar making
weather" for week, which means
that the sun shone by day and the
ground frnze slightly at night, in the
morning everything was covered with
boar frost. We were disappointed in
finding the sap less sweet than we
expected Farmers told us a barrel of
sap would be required to make one
gallon Of syrup. We made the best ma
pie syrup have ever seen, and no
words can express the pleasure we
had while making 1t. Our dog, Toby,
enjoyed the sport as much as we did.
He often started a chipmunk from a
pile of brush and when it ran along
the fence Toby raced after 1t, barking
with all his might. The squirrel spread
his tail like sail, and the wind soon
carried him out of reach. Field mice
visited the camp at night leaving
their tracks in the white ashes. Other
small creatures peeped out to see what
we were doing. BY the last of January
the leaves were SO far developed the
sap would not make su--ar, End there
was no more cold weather that win
ter. An early spring followed.

Looking Back.

The opening days Of year recall days that
are gone forever; opportunities that never again
will come; words that cannot be recalled; deeds
that are irrevocable; hatreds whose scars cannot
be healed; joys that cannot be lived over again !;
successes won once and forever; failures that
cannot be erased; stepping stones that never
again will be encountered; good deeds whose in
fluence will not stop; memories that will please
the heart or haunt it until death ends this earth
~ career.
How solemn the thought that time cannot be
recalled! One day spent in wicked designs, in
idleness, or in plotting mischief never can be
made up or rectified. The years record is a
closed book whose seal cannot be broken, whose
contents are indictments or concentrations of
our careers. How urgent the plea that we utilize
every minute of time in doing good, developing
our talents, improving our minds and souls.

Household Remedies.

In the early days, many herbs and some veg
etables were considered excellent remedies to
cure diseases and heal bruises and wounds. Later
they were supplanted by patent medicines and
drugs readily obtainable in stores. With the back
to nature movement Of recent years and the en-
phasis placed on fresh air and sanitation, some OF
the old time remedies again have appeared. The
onion has always been considered a vegetable
with curing powers. According to the Los Ange-
les Times, scientists have discovered that the
faith placed in onions years ago was not mis-
placed and that the vegetable really possesses
curative properties. Says the Times:
To be sure the men of science have been in
cned to scout, the idea that the onion family is
particularly gifted with medicinal qualities of
any kind; but recently some of these learned men
have made the discovery that garlic, the small
but extremely strong member Of the onion fam
lily, possesses great virtues surgical dressing.
The discovery made during the present war.
and garlic juice is now used as regular dressing
for certain class of wounds in at least one Of the
large hospitals.
The wounds which seem to respond most
readily to treatment with garlic are those in
which the ordinary surgical measures have failed
and in which suppuration is taking place These
wounds are washed thoroughly every IL hours
with lotion of garlic juice and distilled water,
in strength of one part juice to three parts wa
ter When this is done, "a noticeable improve
ment occurs in "a hours and decided improve
ment within 48 hours. During this period of
time the purulent discharge not only became
markedly diminished, but also the pain and sur
rounding inflammation were either much relieved
or had Disappeared
Profting by the experience of the army sur
