NOT THE HEAL THLN«V It's the imitation people who are always in the way, The people who are aping what the others do or say. Shall all be made to swelter when the summer days are hot Because some person, ill-inforpied, behaves as he should not, And simply lays his coat off, with suspenders full in view, And says he is a shirt-waist man and really thinks it, too? He wonders why the public should not wel­ come and admire. His costume as it does his neighbor a sen­ sible attire. The imitation people--how they haunt us ev­ erywhere-- The imitation singer, with a note that brings despair; The imitation wag, who scorns all wit except his own; The imitation monarch on his imitation throne; The imitation statesman, witW?h^s strut and vocal roar-- ^ . The world is moved to sadness by these and many more. But when one longs for comfort's garb in days so fiercely hot, The imitation sbir^-waist mm's the toughest of the l it. --Washington Star. F.

The whole human organiz­ ation is deranged by pain. Rest from pain does not cure but gives nature a chance ,to recuperate. That is the way Dr. TAUTER- PAY'S PAIN TABLETS do the work. Irritate a nerve and you have pain. !Stop the irritation and pain stops. Continue the irritation and, following it, there is con­ gestion. Then follows inflam­ mation and supperation or death of the part. The cureful physician asks WHERE is THE PAIN? He knows it must be stopped. But rarely with opium or morphine--for in most cases the cure is worse than the disease. Dr. Tdllerddy's Pdin Tablets are Safe but Certain. Success in controlling pain with specific harmless remedies has only been obtained by constant and careful investigation with the newer remedies and it is of recent oc­ curence. If you have contract­ ed a COLD there is tsention on nerve filaments. DR. TALLEK- DAY'S PAIN TABLETS always lieve the tention. * Wanted--Active man, of good character t*» deliver and collect .n Illinois for old established manufacturing wholesale house. |i)00 a year, sure pay.
