/ / * Rheumatism Entirely Gone After twenty-seven years of suffering--swelling and puffiness, puffiness, has disappeared--not a pain or an ache left. Kincardine, Ont. Nov. I5«_ -- A most astonishing cure of rheumatism and eczema eczema has been reported here, and M^, Ray is enthusiastic In telling her.maay friends how cure was effected. Rheumatism and eczema frequently go together, and in < this case caused the most keen distress imaginable.; . All the swelling and pnffiness resulting from manyjcears of rheumatism h^ye disappeared, disappeared, and there is not a pain or an ache left. Myl,G. H. Raw R. R. No. I, Kincar-. dine, O .t , writes: " Mrs. Ray has been using your Kidney-Liver- Pills. She was very bad with rheumatism and eczema, and had had that fearful itch -for twenty- seven vears. It was simply terrible what she suffered. I persuaded her to try $1.00 worth of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, she is now on the last box,-and let me tell you she scarcely knows herself, she is so free from both these diseases. All the swelling" and puffiness caused by the rheumatism has gone away, and she has "hi gone down in weight impounds. _ She never has an ache nor pain, bilousness nor sick headaches all these months. She often says herself 'How gla'd I am that I know what to do instead of paying doctors so much to make me worse.' " There is only one way that the poisons in the blood can be cleaned away and the cause of pains and aches removed, and that is bv the healthful action of the kidneys, liver and bowels. Because Dr. Chase's K'dney-Liver Pills act directly and specifically on these organs and ensure ensure their activity they remove the cause of rheumatism and other dreadfully painful and fatal diseases.

In a little town of southern Ontario there lives a black-haired girl named Doris Brooks, who knows where Indian Indian summer got its name. Some persons, have one story to tell about the name and some have another, but Deris, as you shall see, has every rea- sÔn to. feel sure that 'she has learned the true secret of it. Of course Doris believes in fairies, but in all her life, although she had often hunted ' high and low in all places. . where fairies ought to be, she never saw one until that day in the woods when she learned the secret çf Indian summer. It happened one Saturday afternoon in early November. The day did not seem at all like a November day, with Christmas only a few weeks off, for it was as warm as June, and yet was not at all like June. The fields* were brown, „ instead of greets and there was a soft, smoky haze over them and over the forests, where the scarlets scarlets and crimsons of October had fad- i ed to dull shades. It was so still that even when Doris was crossing thç field toward the woods she could hea3 a squirrel chattering away--in them. Perhaps the squirrel guessed her errand and was trying x to scold hard enough to keep her away, for, as you should know, Doris was going to the woods in the hope of finding some acorns and beechnuts. She felt sure that there were enough for the squirrels squirrels and for her, too. When she set out for the woods she was not thinking thinking about fairies at all--Indian-sum- mer fairies or any other , kind; but when she reached the edge of the woods, and before she had picked up a single beechnut or acorn, the thought came to her that it was just the day, so still and soft and hazy, for fairies to wander through the woods. It may be, of course, that the fairies were friends of the squirrel and that they whispered that thought into the pink ear under her black hair.

Not a fairy was.to be seen. - -Not a living living thing of any kind, except the squirrel that was still chattering in his tree; and "not a moving thing of any kind, except a few dead leaves ithat were drifting slowly down the little stream. _ - . "I know what the matter is," said Doris,to herself"The.fairies see me 'and are afraid, ' I'll: put a powdered fern leaf in my shoes and that -will make me invisible. My cousin Louise told me that it would, and she knows, all about such things." Close beside her grew a cluster of ferns, .brown from the early frosts. Doris powdered one of the dry leaves in her hand and put a bit of the dust into each'shoe. Then she leaned back against the trunk of the big elm' and waited. She waited very quietly for a long time. " Perhaps the powdered fern leaf made her invisible to the fairies. Who knows? Or it may be that she got a bit sleepy as she watched, watched, and shut her eyes a moment or two; that also is possible.

McKenzie. was suddenly leaning ^forward, her bright eyes had grown very big with amazement and a little cry was trying to get through her lips. The dead leaves drifting down the stream were not dead leaves- any longer, but a fleet of fairy .canoes manned by Indian f 3,iri6S ! There could be no mistake about it. The harder she looked the plainer she saw the Indian fairies--some in'the canoes and some on a flat rock m t e middle of the little - stream. Some o± them 'had bows and arrows, and, as she looked, one of the Indian fairies on the flat rock shot an arrow at a bumblebee that was buzzing its way overhead. The others on the roc waved- their bows and chased^ one another another as if they were playing tag. None of the Indian fairies had the wings that Doris had supposed .all fairies wore; but probably Indian fairies do not need wings, *s other fairies do, since the feathers that they wear woiild bear them upward if they desired to fly. gut these Indian fairies did not fly. They paddled their canoes down the stream, wholly I unmindful of Doris, even when they passed very near her or landed on the flat rock and played there. Doris saw Jit all very plainly.. She never saw anything more plainly in her life. Then, just as quickly as she could wink, everything changed. There was not an Indian fairy or a fairy canoe to be seen--only a few dead leaves floating down the stream anc drifting against the flat rock. -Her eyes grew bigger than before and she looked harder and harder, but not a single Indian fairy was there cfnly drifting leaves. y - "O dear!" sighed Doris.. "They must have seen me and got frightened! -- Then she looked-down and saw that one of her shoes had fallen off. "That is it!" she cried aloud. "When my shoe came off, the powdered fern leaf fell out and then they could see me. Anyway, I had à good look at them first!" Doris hurried home, wholly^ forgetting forgetting the x beechnuts and the acorns. She was full of her adventure, but she did not tell anyone about it until her father happened to say at the supper supper table, "What a beautiful Indian- summer day this has been!" Then Doris turned to her brother Ned and said, "Do you know where Indian summer gets its name?" Her brother was older, and so he did not like to say that he did not know. Hç just reached for another piece of cake and said, "Well, do you know?" "Yes, I do know!" answered Dons. And then she told the story of her wonderful adventure in the wopds that afternoon. "Indian fairies!" laughed Ned, when she had finished. "You must .have been dreaming!" But neither her father nor her mother laughëd at -her story, and., it was a great comfort to her when her father said, "Ned, are you sure that Djpris was dreaming? Those of us who have not seen fairies have no right to say that other persons have never seen them." And so long as Doris lives, even if she nev:r^sees another fairy in all that time, she will believe in fairies and rejoice that she got a good, look ,t the tribe of• little Indian-summer fairies that were paddling, their canoes down the forest stream . on that beautiful November afternoon.-»-- Marion Hallowell. Reforestation. The problem of reforesting areas that are otherwise unproductive should be considered by agriculturists. Perhaps next in importance the dis- posaVof brush and slash is the effect of close cutting on hillsides. Immany instances, the clearing of trees from a, slope has encouraged a washing of soil that not only ruins the slope but also buries the productive field at its foot and greatly increases the damage done by brooks at flood conditions.
