 Once. some years ago, I had slow fever and my stomach was In bad fix and Black-Draught gave me relief and helped me a wonderful sight. It cured me of indigestion and the bad feeling after eating. I keep it for my family, they use it and have for years, and too, it saves doctor bills and. is not ex- pensve.
 A stitch in time saves nine. and most sickness is caused by bad liver. A few doses of Black Draught fixes that, and I don't see why people don't use it. and they would see as I have, what a help it would be-"

among flowers, to take the place of an expensive rest cure" the wise home doctor' out in Illinois knew that when he took his daughter from a col |flege when she was manifestly unable to keep up her studies. He knew, too. when instead of encouraging her to be- gin the sanitorium habit he turned over the kitchen to her and required her to keep it going.
 There are some women who use their minds like squirrels in a cage however futile their employment, if it's only auction" or "embroiderr, they go to it so frantically that the ending is quite inevitable; they find themselves entirely worked out at the end of the game and just where they started. It is for this type especially that bidding" around the kitchen is prescribed as a deliverance.
 Woman's range is not necessarily the kitchen range-not at all-but there are times when polishing it serves a higher purpose than merely getting it in order.
 If time could revert backward and the modern woman revert to the cave woman type and cook her own meals on hot stones she would find herself rested physically and mentally for any sort of change helps anybody.

Alaska has been worth much more than it's cost to the United States. A half-century ago, Alaska was purchased at cost of $7,2OO,OOO, and that original investment has been returned to the na- tion more than 70 fold, for from the products of the land and sea, Alaska has added to the national wealth upward of $500, 100000, the greater portion of which has been produced during the last 20 years. Two sources of large and steady income are copper ore and the fisheries.

 l ~ ONES now a "home doctor with iV new cure for nerves" he calls it "the kitchen cure" and since in the case of the overwrought student whose ambition had reduced her to sanatorium state of mind, the treatment prescribed by the father of the girl worked successfully, the
 matter if worth considering. news" dispatch states that after several months scrubbing, washing dishes and kitchen care generally, that a certain young woman out in
 Illinois for whom rest cure" was pre- scribed by the father of the girl work ed successfully, has regained her strength and poise and is now gain ing flesh and is in perfect health Why shouldn't there be virtue in a
 kitchen as well as in a lonely sanato-
 rum ward?
 Why shouldn't a woman get back her poise by varying her work as
 much as by enforced idleness that turns back the overwrought mind to it. self. instead of lifting it to something on the outside?
 I once knew a literary woman who had worked so unwisely and so unin- telligently that she had grown hys- terical and very ill., she had trieds nerve cures and sanatoriums in vain; finally to be cured in her own home when she lost all her servants at a time when it was impossible to replace them; in sheer desperation she arose from her bed one morning and began
 to straighten her affairs and put her
 house in order" by noon, instead of
 her usual weakness and nervousness
 she was blessedly tired and as hungry
 at a little boy, and she slept all the afternoon, to rise to cook dinner her self. month of this work restored her to her normal condition and she started again on her literary work with all of her old enthusiasm and cleverness
