Mr.. Thomason's Strawberries

berry patch of one-eighth acre
yielded this year 65 crates, which
brought in the Seattle market

small patch of logans did equally
well. To the things already mem

boxes of Summer apples, 80 boxes

was practically no expense for la

hogs turn the Gull fruit into high,

At the first call the lady of the

truth of her assertion. At the next

in one piece and could be used for
small fruits or such farm crops as

little income could be expected
from the trees for the first ten

Mr.. Thomson thinks the gross
income should average about "a

When might was the sole rule of

together. must rule with a strong

self-protection or domination, his
subjects submitted. And thus
came antocracy. The titled aris-
tocracy of England today is but
the remains-the husks - of its
ancient feudal system. Germany,

Fever"

New York, May 30.-Speaking be-
fore an audience composed argely Of
nerve specialists and dietitians at the
Waldorf here, DR., Robert j. Mac
Ingles, the distinguished surgeon,
laid particular stress upon the mipor-
lance Of keeping the blood in a
healthy conditions as a means Of ward
ing off disease; and called attention
to the fact that many people, in an
endeavor to stave off or relieve So
called "spring fever" gorge them
selves with sulphur, calomel, sarsa-
parilla and similar connections, which
not only thin the blood, but cause it
to bacome "watery" and unhealthy,
thus exposing themselves to the raw
ages of any disease which may beset
them, and at the same time weakening
and undermining their entire system,
He said in part:
Every few people are cognizant of
the Importance of keeping the blood
in strong and healthy condition as
a prophylaxis against disease, and it
is the duty of the medical profession
to instruct the public in this prime es-
sential of good health.

there are members of our profession
who, still keep teir patients in ignor-
ance on this most important subject;
and still others, styling themselves
physicians, who resort to the Black
Age doctrine of prescribing such nos

thus causing it to become 'watery,
