THOUGHTS of Great Minds.

The mind is n storehOuse in which,
day by day. thoughts are constantly
being placed. In it we make thoughts,
too, but the quality of our own
thought product depends upon that
which we store away. Therefore,
nothing is more essential to real edu-
cation than that the mind be kept
fresh and sweet by communion with
the great minds Of the past.

PREVENT GNAWING OF TREES
Simple Way to Keep Mice From Doing
Injury Is to Make Earth Bank
Of Few Inches.

The simplest way to stop mice from
gnawing young fruit trees is to bank
them well with earth six to ten inches
high in the autumn, then tramp the
first snow hard around them so that
the mice cannot easily reach the tree
trunk. Wrapping the trunk with heavy
paper or tying around it lath, pieces
of shingle or veneer is effective. Many
orchardists use wire guards, which are
made Of heavy galvanized wire with
four or five meshes to the inch. These
will last for several years.

known salesman Of 81 First avenue.

Taniac for the great benefit it has
brought me- Mr.. Leonard explained.
Il had bad case of catarrh of the
stomach" he continued. This
brought on a general run down condi-
ton. I felt all dragged out all the
time. | was tired most of the time and
had no ambition.
My food would not digest. but in
stead, it soured in my stomach and
caused dizzy spells. TanIac was
recommended to me by my sister and
began taking it.
Now my food agrees with me and
IS building me up. Dizzy spells are a
thing OF the past and feel like living
now"
Statements like this show how Tan
lac appeals to the best people everv-
where said the Tanlac Man. "They
judge Tanlac fairly and when they are
convinced Of its merits they do not
hesitate to endorse it,"

uphill or UP a stairway.
Il hardly had strength enough to do
my work and I was in this run down

good things about Tanlac that finally
induced me to try this new medicine.
"Tahlac has certainly built me up.
| can walk all right now and have
gained more strength. / feel SO much
better that 1t is hard to explain it.
Tanlac, I know, is a wonderful medi-
cine"
Thousands of women in Maine are
saying every day, I am all run down
and tired out Mrs. Eagles story is
typical Of them" said the Tanlac Man
In most cases the first need Of such
women. and men too for that matter
is a reconstructiye tonic.

in all cases. In fact the literature of rheu-

which have not been given trial. In the

to be great disappointment. All ply ST.

treatment Is aided by the administration OF
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet

expresses the opinion of thousands Of prac-
titioners when he says that anti-kamnia
tablets should be given preference over all

be purchased in any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed for headac hes, neuralgias
