nAV FEVER ia endemic calnrrh. It is
cauned by some irritating substance in
tue atmosphere during the lute summer
inontlis. It ia gonciiilly thought that the
pollen of certain weeds and (lowers ia the
cause of it.
Change of locality seems to he the only
rational cure. The use of Pcruna, how
ever, stimulates the nervous system to re
sist the effect of the poisonous emanations
and sometimes entries the victim through
the hay fever season without an attack 'of
the disease.
A lnrge number of people rely upon Pe
rona for this purpose. Those who do not
find it convenient to change their location
to avoid hay Fever would do well to give
IVrnna a trial. It has proven of priceless
value to many people.
The Small Farm.
"Can a Small Farmer Live?" la
the title of an article by a professor.
Of course. It depends on the farmer.
Probably the most successful farmer
In the world lives near Pnris, and he
has a small tract of land, but every
acre produces more than Is usually
raised on a great farm. The fact
la that the production of soil Is quite
unlimited. Labor and brains and
science used In tilling n piece of
ground will make the yield beyond
apparent possibilities, . as we now
look at It. The ground yields a
beggarly pittance to what could be
raised from It. A small farm is a
fortune if the very best la made
of the ground. Wheat makes men
rich because they have boundless
acres to devote to It. That fact does
not warrant the claim that only great
farms pay. Small farms will make
them rich too, if they get from the
ground what it can yield. But It is
not so much the selection of crops
aB the getting out of the soil the re
sources that are in it. We heard a
man say one time he put $14 0 worth
of fertilizer In an acre of ground
and got $1,000 worth of production
from it. It is the two things that
will make the small farm the gold
mine and the Eden of the fnture
the selection of thp. right product,
and then making the soil do Us best.

Knro Forms Of Courage.
I am aware that orderliness and
punctuality are not usually regarded
as forms of courage. But the essen
tial element of all courage is in
them the power to face a disagree
able present In the interest of de
sirable permanent ends. They are
far more Important. In modern life
than the courage to face bears or
bullets. They underllo the moro
spectacular forms of courage. The
man who cannot reduce to order the
things that are lying passively about
him and endure the petty pains inci
dental to doing hard things before
the sheer lapse of time forces him
to action, is not the man who will
be calm and composed when angry
mobs are howling about him, or
who will go steadily on his way when
gree.I and corruption, hypocrisy and
hate, are arrayed to resist him. For,
whether in the quiet of a stud and
the routine of an office or in the
turmoil of a riot or a strike, true
courage is the ready and steadfast
acceptance of whatever pains are in
cidental to secure the personal and
public ends that are at stake. Presi

Fall to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments.
A Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: "I was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
Borne reason, Indigestion and nervous
prostration sot in.
"After I had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces
sity of some change In uiy diet, and I
discontinued my ordinary breakfast
' and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity of rich cream.
"In a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and I
began to have a strength that I had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and a poise of mind
that amazed me. It was entirely new
in my experience.
"My former attacks of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many tlmeB my condition was
distressing with blind spells of dizzi
ness, ruBh of blood to tfce head and
neuralgic pains In the chest.
"Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast I have been free from those
troubles, except at times when I have
indulged In rich, greasy foods In
quantity, then I would bo warned by
a pain under the left shoulder blade,
and unless I heeded the warning the
old trouble would como back, but
when I finally got to know where
theso troubles originated I returned
to my Orape-Nuts and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very Quick
ly. "I am now la prime health as a
result of my use of Grape-Nuts."

Manufacturing reports are grati

industries nlonc showing any Irregu

a natural disposition to delay plac
ing orders when better terms seem
warranted by the cheapened raw ma

cessions because of contracts on

fl'lie Age of liend. f
We are wont to speak of this era
rs the "age of Iron," and there Is no !
gainsaying that, industrially speak- j
ing, Iron is a "precious metal."
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, If not absolutely neces
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, It Is not much like its slBter
melal, but those distinguishing quali
ties are what give it such a prominent
place In the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twlstlngs, but withal
tight Joints, would be almost Impos
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent In the world the
printing art Is absolutely dependent
on lead. Iland-tot typo, linotypo
"slugs," monotype typo all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component to say noth
ing of the bearings In the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal Is used.
Solder is another lead product-
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.'
Then there Is the most Important
use of all to which lead Is put paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty inside
and out and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallc lead
for the comfort3 of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me
tallc lead corroded by ncld to a white
powder known as "white lend." Of
course, there are many Imitations of
"white lead," some of which are sold
as white lend and some which are
offered by the name of ready-prepared
paint under the familiar pre
tense that they are "Just as good" as
white led. But all good paint Is
made of the metal, lend, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead Is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
"Red lead" is another rroduct of
metallc lead and Is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Rod lead is the
best, paint known to proserve Iron,
steel or tin, and Is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper tkeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, r,uch as litharge,
orange mineral, etc., which are es
sential ti many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verily, we live in an age of lead
r.s well as of iron.
The One Object Of Kduent ion.
At one time when Elihu Root, our
present secretary of state, was prac
tising law In New York City, he was
engaged In a easo that Involved the
question of aniline dyes. The sub
ject is one of tho most difficult In
Ihe entire realm of chemical science
and Mr. Root knew nothing about
it whatever. But that made no dif
ference. For two weeks, day and
night as It were, he studied that
subject until he had mastered it and
he then when Into tho court room,
cross-questioned tho experts and wrin
his case. How could ho do It?
Simply because ho had a trained, dis
ciplined mind that was able to mas
ter any subject however difficult and
abstruse.
It Is tho object of an education to
enable boys and girls to do this very
thing. What is learned In tho class
room Is only a fragment, a beginning.
They are expected to bo able to go
on and study by themselves and for
themselves. In the realm of litera
ture the works studied are not sup
posed to give the scholar an accur
ate knowledge of literature. They
are merely to cultivate the power of
discrimination and tho taste for the
best. It is of trifling importance
whether a scholar knows a concrete
poem such ns Gray's "Elegy," it ,1s
of supreme Importance whether n
scholar knows the good from tho bad
and has learned to love tho good.
From this Illustration we Bee tho
true object of education. It. is the
development of an Individuality. It
Is not to teach a child all that the
child will need to know, it Is simply
to prepare the child fur self develop
ment and Individual Initiative. What
the school can teach h only a trifle,
but if the child has learned how to
study, how to think, nnd how to
discriminate the education has been
a successful one. Unfortunately in
this very respect tho system often
breaks down. Baptist Common

If you havo appetite, do not eat too
much. Be moderate nnd temperate
in the use of all things, except fresih

cannot possibly have too much. Take

AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS.
Terrible ficnl.v Humor in Patclie All
Over Hotly Skin Cracked and
BleedingCured by Cutleurn.
"I was alllicted with norinsi for thirtv-
five yenrs. It was in patches all over my
body. 1 tued three enkes of Cutieurs
Konp, six boxes of Ointment and two bot-
ues oi itcscivent. Jn thirty days J was
completely cured, and I think permanent
ly, as it was about five years apo. The
psoriasis first made its appearance in red
spots, generally forming a circle, leaving
in tha centre a spot aDout the size of a
silver dollar of sound tlesh. in a short
time the affected circle would form a
heavy dry scale of white silvery appenr
ance, and. would gradually drop off. To
remove the entire scales by bathing or
using oil to soften them the flesh would
be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of
bloody substance would ooze out. That
scaly crust would form again in twenty
four hours. It was worse on my arms and
limbs, although it was in spots all over
my body, also on my scalp. If 1 let the
scales remain too long without removing
by bath or otherwise, the skin would
crack nnd bleed. I suffered intense itch
ing, worse at nights after getting warm
in bed, or Dlood warm by exercise, when
it would be almost unbearable. W. M.
