What’s Your Hurry.
Baby, with the curls of gold,
What’s your hurry?
Time enough for growing old.
Don’t you worry.
Keep the golden curls awhile;
Keep the dimpled baby smile.
Leave to groun-up greed and guik
It’s fret and flurry.
Boy, impatient to be grown.
What’s your hurry?
Wherefore covet for your own
Man’s foolish flurry?
Little maid, with rosy face.
Keep your girlish ways a space.
Woman’s love and woman’s grace
Cost tears and worry.
Wiser in the dollar-chase.
What’s your hurry?
Spendthrift, with the killing pace.
What’s your hurry?
Toiler, trader, artist, bard.
In the race so fierce and hard.
Would you but your haste retard,
’Twould save much worry.

to them to see you interested. So
I say again fathers and mothers,
don’t sit in the corner, the long
winter evenings and read till you
doze, and never say a word about
what you have read.
County Woman.
Discuss What You Read.
“An interested mother” in a re
cent article gave us some excellent
advice on “How to Organize and
Conduct a Country Literary So
ciety” and I hope that several new
societies have been organized as a
result of reading that most excel
lent article. Heretofore I have
written mainly of the importance
of young people having suitable
material to read, and if they did
not already enjoy reading it to try
to cultivate a taste for reading and
also for the best of things to read.
Now I have a word to say to the
fathers and mothers. Don’t sit in
the corner and read, each with your
favorite book or paper until you get
sleepy and lay them aside without
talking over, or mentioning one
thing at least, that you have been
reading. The father may think,
because he is reading his farm
paper, that his wife is not equally
interested in those things. Nine
times out of ten she would enjoy
discussing these things with him.
I don’t think I would enjoy my
reading so much if I did not discuss
it with some one. After a discus
sion of what they have been read
ing, each one feels that they know
almost as much about what the
others have been reading as if they
had read it themselves.
Be sure to attend some of the
young people’s literary meetings.
You will be sure to enjoy them, and
when you go once, you will be sure
to want to go again. It will help
to keep you young to keep in touch
with the young people in their
work, and it will be an inspiration
A Hint for Home-Dressmakers.
Instead of using No. 40 or No.
50 thread for stitching calico, per
cale or gingham gowns on the sew
ing-machine, use No. 60 or No. 70.
Ycur work will both look and wear
better. Sufficient strength is
given by the two threads, and the
finer threads imbeds itself in the
material and becomes almost like
a part of it, while the coarser lies
on the surface and is subjected to
more wear.
A simple and economical way in
which to braid a blouse or frock
is to trace the design on tissue-
paper, then baste this to the ma
terial that is to be braided. Sew
on the braid through both paper
and material until the design has
been covered, after which remove
the paper by carefully tearing off
and picking all the tiny pieces
from among the threads. The pa
per method has this advantage
when used on light material, it
saves the goods from soil, al
though it works equally well with
dark material.
When finishing a seam instead of
breaking the threads and tying
them, just turn back and make a
few stitches over the original
stitches. This makes a neater
finish and saves time.
Cotton Must Have Plant Food,
and this plant food must be the right kind. The very elements which
the Cotton Plants need—Phosphoric Acid, Nitrogen and Potash—are in
Virginia-Carolina
High-Grade
Fertilizers
Cotton Plants must be supplied with all needed elements of plan^
food as growth unfolds wants. These Fertilizers should be put in the
ground before planting, of course, and frequent applications of Virginia.
Carolina Fertilizers or Top Dresser should be made during the growing
period of the plants. Thus, when the plants grow stronger—demanding
more food—the food is right there in the soil, ready to be taken up and
used by the plants.

How to Care for Gloves.
’The woman who wishes to dress
well, yet economically, must look
well to the care of her gloves. And
caring for gloves does not mean
merely the matter of keeping them
mended. There are other ways to
prolong their use than by taking the
stitch in time, says Needlecraft.
In the first place, there are right
and wrong ways of putting on
gloves. The right way does not
injure them; the wrong way, in the
course of time, weakens and tears
the skim or fabric,
A glove should be worked on
from the finger-ends. It should
never be forced up between the
fingers at the base. This is what
so many do. They bear down hard
between the fingers, with the idea
that this force will bring the glove
up over the finger. So it will, but
it is very likely to tear or rip the
glove at the same time. Between
the fingers at the base is the weak-

In order to show beyond all doubt |
that I am in possession of a medicine
that will cure kidney trouble, bladder
trouble or rheumatism, I will this year give
away ten thousand dollars’ worth of this
medicine, and anyone suffering from these
diseases can get a box of it absolutely free.
All that is necessary is to send me your ad
dress.
I don’t mean that you are to use a part of
it or all of it and pay me if cured. I mean
that I will send you a box of this medicine
absolutely free of charge, a gift from me to
the Uric Acid sufferers of the world, so I can
show them where and how they may be cured.
I will not expect payment for this free medi
cine, nor would I accept it now or later if
you sent it. It is free in the real meaning of
the word.
For twenty-five years—a quarter of a cen
tury—I have been trying to convince the pub
lic that I have something genuine, something
better than others have for the cure of stub
born, chronic rheumatism, for torturing kid
ney backache, for annoying calls tef urinate.
But it is hard to convince people—they try a
few things unsuccessfully and give up all hope
and refuse to listen to anyone thereafter.
Happily, I am in a position now to demon
strate to sufferers at my own expense that I
have a medicine that cures these diseases.
I don’t ask them to spend any money to find
out; I don’t ask them to believe me, nor even
to take the word of reliable people, but all I
ask is that they allow me to send them the
medicine at my own cost. That is surely fair.
To this end I have set aside ten thousand
dollars, which will be used to compound my
medicine. Much of it is ready now to be
sent out, all of it fresh and standard. There
will be enough for all sufferers, though there
be thousands of them. And anyone who
needs it can get some of it free. But in
order that I shall know that you have a ai*;
easc for which this medicine is intended, I
ask you to send me some of your laading
symptoms. If you have any of the symptoms
in the list printed here you need my medicine
and if you will write me I will gladly send
you a box of it free with full directiona for
your use. Look the symptoms over, see
which symptoms you have, then write me
about as follows: “Dear Dr., I notice symp
toms number”—here put down the numbers,
give your age, full address, and send it to me.
My address is Dr. T. Frank Lymott, 4*49
Occidental Bldg., Chicago., Ill.
The ten thousand dollars I am spending for
the compounding of my medicine is only a
part of the money I am devoting to this
cause, for the package of medicine I send you
will be fully prepaid at my expense. From
any standpoint you view it, YOU incur no
expense or obligation. Just tell others who
you know are suffering who sent you the
medicine that cured you.
I am promising to give away ten thousand
dolars’ worth of medicine, and I will do that;
I am promising to send any sufferer who
writes me a box of this medicine and full
directions free of charge, sikI I will do that
