The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages and that is eatarrh. Catarrh
being greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Medicine is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in the cura-
tive powers of Halls Catarrh Medicine that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that 1t fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

How shall we get ready for home
gardening activities in 1913 is a ques-
ton now reaching the United States
department of agriculture from all Sec
tons. To these questioners the de-
partment is giving the following adj
vice:
Determine the location and the area
to be planted TO vegetables as soon as
practicable. Clear it of rubbish and
as material suitable for a compost
heap is available, start one. Arrange,
if possible, for the necessary fertilizer
for the seasons garden from local
sources, such as stables, streets or
a%battoirs. Add these materials to the
compost heap so as to insure as large
a supply as possible of suitable ma
terial with the smallest practicable use
of commercial fertilizers. This is de-
sirable to insure plant food and to save
expense. Commercial fertilizers are
scarce and high, and in garden work
even when such materials are abund-
ant and relatively cheap they cannot
entirely replace stable manure and
compost. Each city or town should
be able to supply the major part of
the needs of its gardening population
if the fertilizers produced within its
limits are husbanded for their use.
Get Seeds Early.
AS soon as the spring catalogues are
available, select the list of seeds need
ed to plant the area to be used for gar
dening. In choosing the list, have in
mind the selection of those sorts which
did best last season, those which the
family relished most, and determine
the quantity with care in order that
only the seed necessary to meet your
requirement be purchased. The sup
ply of some of the important varieties
of garden seeds is limited, and in or
der that all may obtain the quantity
needed to meet their needs, everyone
should cooperate to make the supply
available produce a maximum crop.
Place your seed orders early.
Plan Your Garden in Advance.
In planning the garden have due re-
gard to supplying the family with
fresh vegetables as we'll as those de-
sired for canning or drying, but refrain
from entering the field of commercial
vegetable production unless you are
an experienced practical gardener with
suitable soil and location and adequate
capital to finance the operation.
Planning the garden on paper-that
is, drawing a right plan to scale on
which are indicated the spaces to be
devoted to early planted and later
crops, the best planting dates, etc-is
an interesting winter evening employ
ment for the entire family.
See that garden tools are properly
protected and are ready for spring use.
Have fruit trees and small fruits
pruned and sprayed at the proper time.
Secure Farmers Bulletin No. SIS,
1.-THE Small Vegetable Garden" and
books on gardening and prepare your
self to make every seed count.

USE OF WINE ENCOURAGED
Advised by War Cabinet in View of
Beer SHORTAGE.

The British war cabinet, with an eye
on the shortage of beer as a cause of
industrial unrest and the consequent
increased demand for spirits, has de-
cided to allow the release from bond
of wine up to the full amount released
in 1916.
In releasing this quantity the war
cabinet expressed the hope that all
those who could afford to drink wine
will refrain from drinking beer.

A PRACTICE THAT MUST CEASE.

The attention of the Board of Health
of Pleasantville. has been directed to
some citizens whose pipes to their
cesspools are frozen and who take
their chamber waste and dump it upon
the ground. This waste must be dump
ed in the cesspools, as a continuance
of the practice above is likely to cause
an epidemic of sickness when a thaw
comes.
