Mrs. G. A. M.'-While carrots are
easily grown, usually there Is little
demand for them. and the supply is
always large. Other vegetables are
more prof1tably grown. The general
and best rule is to grow in your own
garden those vegetables which your
family likes best. 1t is better to
raise a few things and enough Of

growing a little of everything.

A CONTENTED SPIRIT.

Remember, if you have only what is
called an ordinary home, that the
great deliyerers of the world have
all come from such home And
there maybe seated reading at your
evening stand a child who shall be
potent for the ages. Just enroll the
scroll of men mighty in church 4
state, and you will find that nearly
all come from log runs out in the
third or fourth generation. You can
not find in all history cabinor poor
homes, Genius almost an instance
where the fourth generation of extra
ordinary people amount to anything.
Columbus from a weaver's hut, De-
mosthenes from a cutters cellar,
Bloomfield and Missionary Carey
from shoemaker's bench, Ark
wright from a BARRIERS shop and he
whose name is high over all the earth
and air and sky from Manager.
Let us all be content with such
things as we have. God is just as
good in what he keeps away from us
as in what he gives us. Even a
knot may be useful if it is at the
end of thread The spider draws
poison out of flower; the bees get
honey out of thistle, but happiness
is heavenly elixir and the conten-
ted spirit extracts it not from the
rhododendron of the hills, but from
the lily of the valley.

purging will be unnecessary? You
can Go so if you get d 25c box of

merely cause pleasant easy bowel ac-
ton. This medicine acts upon the
digestive as well as eliminative organs

accomplished you will not have to take
medicine every day. An occasional Mr.

ton and you can always feel your best.
