THK beet newspapers to advertlae In are tboee papers which go Into the household and are read by the whole fkmily. Tbe Saturday Evening Mail la emphatically a paper for Uie fiunUy circle and hence as an advertising medium is worth more to the merchant or general dealer than a paper hastily read in tbe business houses solely for tbe news ef tbe day— and then cast sakle.

SOME doctors are going to get into trouble.

"SUMMER AND WINTER

Something Ne» Under the Sun.*'

Old Epicurus never dreamed of a table loaded down with summer delicacies in mid-winter. A distinguished Texsn Physician has discovered and patented a process for preserving meats, vegetables and fruits, which is as novel as useful. It is not the. hermetically sealed can plan, or the ordinary sealing wax aud glass bottle process, but a simple mode In which meats, vegetables and frnits of all kinds can be kept in open vessels without danger of fermentation, obviating tbe expense of hermetically sealing nothing deleterious to health is used.

Parlor stoves may be set out in about four weeks. Umbrellas need a great deal of irrigation before tbey will well open.

Eggs should be sown broadcast in a rich loam and well harrowed. Now Is the time, also, to plant your bogs, so that you may have baked pig for tbe Fourth of July.

If you have a hot bouse try and raise a light spring overcoat. This, however, needs great care. Few succeed.

I have bought a family right and tested for myself the Balm Preserving Process of J. W. Davenport.
