We would say—always provided you do not wish to use it as capital in business—put your $500 into real estate. The investment is as safe as government bonds fully made it will bring very much larger returns. Get as much good land as you can buy for your $500. get only ten acres, buy that much, If you can buy fertile cheap lands Where your payment of $600 will count, and you have, say, ten years to pay the balance, at so much per at a low rate of interest, buy it. There are such chances. But be very sure the soil is good ‘The hunger in this country for lands and for homes is a great hunger. And the appetite is constantly whetted by the growing of the population and the lessening of opportunities to buy good, cheap Jands. Every acre of good land anywhere in the United States is bound to grow in value. If you own a bit of land you are as independent as it is possible for mortals to be. Land ts the basis of all wealth. Land combined with labor pro- @uces a constant reproduction of values. If you cannot find a good investment in lands, buy real estate in ‘& growing city. But you must be careful where you select it. It ‘must be located in the direction of growth and be purchased at tts ‘actual cash value, or less. If your city lot is located out of the way ‘of improvement you may be forced to pay taxes and walt for years for a realization. But remember this fact stated If possible, get a good piece of It.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in clvilizer countries, twenty two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, dio before they reach one year; thirty seven per cent,, or mora than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma- jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that mwny of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine, They are, inconsiderable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoriq operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever, <.4 Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. A. ¥.
