after the ceremony he disappeared
from the scene, and after long
search was found calmly smoking his
pipe in the hay loft in the barn, in

When asked for an explanation he
said: my collar is so darn high
can't wear it. Tell her I'll wait out

Improving Rural Schools.
In the rural and town schools
where vocational agriculture is be-
ing taught, workshops are being es-
tablished, work benches are being
made, and other improvements on the
premises and in the schoolhouses
have resulted from the establishment
of the course.
AT the Norge school, the vocational
agriculture class is constructing a
building for a work shop. This shop
VIII be equipped mostly with appar-
atus made by the students. At other
places, the repairs have been made
on the school buildings, thus saving
hundreds of dollars, and at the same
time, learning something that will be
of practical benefit on the farm.
More field work, superintendent
Shepard says, is being done at Tuttle,
in view of the fact that the new
900 school building in that town
has-not been completed, and the vo-
cational agriculture class has no per
manent headquarters. The building

Weekly Health Talks
The Many Mysteries Of
X Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, NJ. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
geed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot OF ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
Odor, and in the other you get flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
che deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out OF the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what Is
naturally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
Of cases. The result OF his studies was a
medicine called DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made Of
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir-
Irregularities, pelvic inhammations, and for
che many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription they are getting safe woman's
tonic SO good that druggists everywhere
sell it. 80. eys.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. DIR. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out Of his remedies.
