PRUNING BY RAIN. One of Nature's Many Methods of Thinning Her Forest. Nature has mau.v ways of thinning and pruning and trimming her forests lightning strokes, heavy snows and storm winds to shatter and blow down whole trees here and there or break off branches as required. The results of these methods 1 have observed in different forests, but only once have 1 seen pruning by rain. The rain froze on the trees as it fell and grew so thick and heavy that many of them lost a third or more of their branches.

The view of the woods after the storm had passed and the sun shone forth was something never to be forgotten. Every twig and branch and rugged trunk was encased in pure crystal lee, and each oak and hickory and willow became a fairy crystal palace. Such dazzling brilliance, such effects of white light and irised light, glowing and flashing. 1 had never seen, nor have I since. This sudden change of the leafless woods to glowing silver was.

like the great aurora, spoken of for years aud is one of the most beautiful of 'the many pictures that enrich my life. And besides the great shows there were thousands of others, even in the coldest weather, manifesting the utmost fineness and tenderness of beauty and affording noble compensation lor hardship and pain.

Owing to thousands of innocent girls being led into great danger each year through ignorance, we would warn you: 1. Never, speak to strangers, either men or women, in the streets, in shops, in stations, in trains, in lonely country roads, or in places of amusement. 2. Never ask the way of any but officials on duty, such as policemen, railway officials or postmen. 3.

Never loiter or stand about alone in the street, and if accosted by a stranger (whether man or woman) walk towards the nearest policeman. 4. Never consent to accompany a woman home who apparently faints in the street, but call a policeman, and leave the case to him. 5. Never accept a lift offered by a stranger, in a motor, or taxi-cab, or vehicle of any description.

6. Never go to an address given by a stranger, or enter any house, restaurant or place of amusement on the invitation of a stranger. 7. Never go with a stranger (however dressed) who brings a story of your friend having suffered from accident or being suddenly taken ill, as this is a common device to kidnap girls. 8.

Never accept sweets, food, or drink offered by a stranger. 9. Never take a situation away from home and especially abroad, without first making strict inquiries. 10. Never go to any town, for even one night, without knowing of some safe lodging.

In England, says the London Globe, apothecaries for many years were firm believers in the elflcacy of the color red as a combatant of disease. Patients, especially those suffering from rheumatism, were frequently wrapped In red blankets and dressed in red clothes.

"Let your nightcap be or scarlet," recommended Andrew Bor den in bis discourse on sleep, "and petycote of scarlet also," while a physician in the sixteenth century ad vised that the face be washed once a week and then wiped with a red cloth. Upon this latter item of the prescription great stress was laid no doubt the color of the cloth was intended to act as an antidote against the chill of such frequent ablutions. Grease a Cause of Disease. Grease in a sink is a very prolific cause of disease. It cannot but accumulate from dishes and utensils, and when small bits of vegetable matter adhere to it a shelter Is given to mischievous bacteria.

Besides, grease will clog the drain and become a men ace and an inconvenience The surest and simplest cleansing agent is a strong solution of washing soda and boiling water. The sink should first be scrubbed with soapsuds and the hot solution then dashed down the drain. This cleaning should be done at least once a week. Chicago News. Different Viewpoints.

USIE CUIE Fauna It is commonly acknowledged by all physicians that Rheumatism is caused by the presence of Uric Acid in the blood. And heretofore, practically the only remedy for this condition was an expensive trip to the famous medicinal springs of Bohemia and which many sufferers jtannot afford. Just recently, a remarkable discovery has been made that makes it possible to concentrate all the wonderful medicinal benefits of these springs into a powder. This powder called LAX-URIC and can be had at R.

E. and R. W. Byers, Drag Store. It acts as a mild, effective laxative and completely neutralises the.

Uric Acid in the system thus giving almost instant relief from ihcumatism. It is also excellent as a cure for all complaints arising from disordered stomach kidneys and liver. fleeced vests and drawers union suits at () () () () () () () () Men's heavy ribbed underwear at fleeced at Boys at union suits at Cotton blankets Wool Children's rubbers Boy's rubbers Ladies rubbers CI FTER month's of hard work we are pleased to announce the "formal opening" of the new "LANDEFELD" store on Friday and Saturday, November twenty-first and twenty-second.
