The "GARLAND" flour manufactured by the W. H. Stokes Milling Company, soives the problem, as is attested by thousands of testimonials we have in our possession. GARLAND F'-OUR?! is what it purports to be—a high class pat ent flour manufactured from strictly first class hard s"pring «rheat no mixture of durum or othe-i low grade wheats are used in the make-up of this celebrated flour.

Most people are proud of their front lawns and gar dens, but they do not "point with pride" to the back yard with its un sightly conglomeration, let such premises are not only unattractive but form a breeding place for vermin and disease. All manner of evils and with good reason, are charged up against flies, rats and mosquitoes. They are car riers of typhoid germs and other dis eases, yet oftentimes people who keep their homes spotlessly clean and who take pride in well trimmed shrubs and mown lawns will allow rubbish to accumulate behind the house or in the alley where flies and vermin lux uriate to spread their deadly work. The substitution of oil for coal on ocean-going steamers promises to be years. It is said that no serious dis advantage, as against, coal, is to be come quite general within a few found in the use of oil, while it pre vents very many advantages, among them being cleanliness, economy c£ fuel and space, thus allowing more room for cargo and passengers, in the ease with which the ships can take on their supply of fuel, and in the au tomatic feeding of the oil to the burn ers which does away with the heavy expense and hard work of stoking coal fires. On the Clyde in Scotland a 6000 ton vessel is now being built which will in effect be a motor boat. There will be no funnels, boilers nor coal bunkers. The engines can be started in five minutes instead of fifteen hours necessary to raise steam with bollerB, and it is estimated that 100 tons of oil will carry the boat as far as 300 tons of coal. These improvements, If real ized, will add greatly to the comfort, convenience and speed of ocean travel. There is a renewed talk of the three Scandinavian nations forming a union or confederation. It would be a good thing, and good policy would seem to demand it in view of the enormous strength of the adjoining nations. Bach Scandinavian nation standing alone has no chance against a strong, ag gressive power, as Denmark learned to her cost in the war with Prussia in 1863 over Schleswig-Halstein. But Denmark, Sweden and Norway would present a formidable front to an ene my.

This is bound to be the case when the deputies are split up Into a number of groups instead of being concentrat ed into two large opposing parties. Fortunately the nation is so attached to a republican form of government that no serious effects are likely to follow the repeated rising and falling of ministers. A banker very recently paroled from prison after serving a peniten tiary term of several years, says that his health improved in prison, and he ascribed it to plain, wholesome food and regular hours. This leads to the reflection that if many people who now suffer the consequences of too much wining and dining and late hours woud but curb their appetite, take simple food, and go to bed at sea sonabe hours they would enjoy the great blessing 'of good health. But some people are so foolish that they require a term in prison to make them do it.

For the past two or three years nothing has been heard of the bugler that sounded the charge of Balaclava. Previous to that time his death was recorded regularly about every six months, and his bugle was kept simul taneously and sacredly in about half a dozen different places several hun dreds of thousands of miles from each other. Is the bugler really dead at last? 4 Ideas of character are not always as broad and high and positive as they might be. The man who limits him self to abstaining from falsehood, dis honesty and violation of law is-con tent with a negative character. What is needed in addition to abstinence from wrong doing Is a positive right doing revealing Itself in a broad, ac tive, generous attitude towards others. The exit of so many prominent sen ators and representatives from Con gress will not cause the heavens to fall. However notable any man may be he is not essential to the continu ance of government or national life. Men may come, and men may go, but the nation survives and government continues to perform Its functions. The undecided man, the man with out a real purpose in life is like the character of whom it was said that "he was everything by turns, but nothing long." It Is the decided, pur poseful man who has an aim and keeps to It through weal or woe who wins out. ft.
