Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In > (tore where the employer sella goods side by side with his clerks It is me that the employer will not be the best salesman. The reason issimple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments can} weight because they are convincing.

MIRACLE WHEAT. Large Yields the Result 0 f Many Prayers. The public press is telliug of thu origiu of “Miracle Wheat” In answer to prayer. The desc;iptiou has the earmarks of truth to it, Mn that it gives the address„of the man whose prayers are said to have been answer ed—“K. B. Stoner, a farmer of Fin- castle, Botetourt county, Virginia.” It would appear from the account that the original stalk of wheat appeared in the midst of a crop of the ordinary kind, but with “142 heads of grain.” We quote: “Mr. Stoner was amazed. It seem ed incrdible. When a Frenchman, in 1842, announced that he had discover ed a species of wheat in the Mediter ranean country which produced four heads to the plant, people said he was crazy. “But here was a plant with 142 heads- "Naturally Mr. Stoner carefully preserved the heads, and the next year sowed the seed, continuing to do this each year, for he realized he had discovered a phenomenal brand of grain. And each year his amaze ment increased. “That first year after discovering the plant he got 2000 grains. In 1906 he got sixteen bushels, and has now raised the crop of wheat, all care fully preserved for seed, to 800 bush els. “What is most remarkable about the wheat is this: Whereas there is produced in the wheat sections of that country an average at the best of seventeen bushels to an acre, the average yield of the "miracle wheat” during the last three years has been fifty-six bushels to the acre; and whereas from eight to ten pecks of seed are required to plant an acre in Virginia, Mr. Stoner uses only two pecks, and, in comparison to the yield of ordinary wheat in the neigh borhood, which is eight bushels for each bushel of seed, Mr, Stoner gets seventy-five bushels for one. An or dinary stalk of wheat covers about four inches of space. The miracle wheat covers twelve. The Government Report. “Last year United States govern ment officials became interested in the remarkable wheat and sent Assis tant Agriculturalist H. A. Miller to ex amine it. In his report he declares: “The wheat, which came from an unknown source, has been grown in the nursery every year since that time, and also has been grown under field conditions the last two years, giving excellent results. The yield has been from two to three times the yield of other varieties grown on the farm under the same condition of culture, except the rate of seeding, which was two peeks to the acre, while other varieties were sown at the rate of eight to ten pecks per acre, which is the common practice of farmers in the vicinity. “Milling test have been made of this wheat, and its quality seems to be as good as, if not supeiior. to the varieties of winter wheat. “The average height of the wheat, according to the report, is four feet four inches. “It is said that the Russian govern ment has secured an option on the wheat, and will buy a consignment of 80,000,000 bushels when that quantity shall have been raised. During the next year the seed will be distributed among farmers in Virginia and North Carolina, who will raise it and pre serve the seed, keeping the seed only for planting until the required amount will have been produced. By next fall,”*lt is believed, 30,000 bushels will have been produced.” Is it Restitution Wheat? If this account be but one-half true it testifies afresh to God’s ability to provide things needful for the “times of restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began.” —Acts 3:19-21. Cact Up by the Sea. They that go down to the sea in ships learn much of the mysteries of life. Frouj the coast of Africa there traveled to S -arboro, Me., the painting of an old tiiue sea captain of that town who long years ago was lost with all on board bis ship in the China seas The ship sailed iropi the home port with every prospei t of u successful voyage, but she never returned to the home land. Years went by and she war, given up as lost, uer name was taken from the chipping list, and no new? of her came back to the waiting ones at home. Long afterward a pass ing vessel picked up off the African coast tin* portrait of an American sea captain such as the Chinese artists paint, and on the back of the picture were Hie captain’s name and that of the port from which he sailed. The paint ing was forwarded to the little Amer ican town, and it was found to be a picture of the Scarboro sea captain, master of tin* lost vessel that had left I lie harbor so many years ago.—Kenne bec Journal.

FOR BAD BLOOD The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very “ engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it is to have if pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind; when from any eause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in someform is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc,, show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even seatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the, weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature’s blood purifier and tonic; made entirely of healing, cleansing roots and herbs. It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity, humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it is in need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. S. neutral izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma nently cures Kezema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, and all other diseases or disorders arising from bad blood. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired free to-all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Your S. S. S., in my opinion, is as good a medicine as can be had; it simply cannot be improved upon as a remedy to purify and enrich the blood and to invigorate and tone up the system. This spring my blood was bad and I was run down in health, and having seen your medicine highly advertised I commenced its use. Today my blood is in fine condition and my general health is of the best. Am filling posi tion as fireman for a large concern here, and if I was not in good physical condition it would be impossible for me to fill th« place. Your S. S. S. has been of great service to me and I do not hesitate to give it the credit it deserves. WM. F. VANDYKE. 815 Fifth Street, Beaver Falls, Penn. Halt!
