Something that Will do You Good. We know of no way in which we can tip of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remed­ ies on the market for conghs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it 'With such good results in our family so long that it has become a household necessity. By its prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it in their homes as a safeguard against croup.-- Camden, (S. C.) Messenger. For sale by.Julia A. Story and G. W. Besley. Clothing Still tiulng. Simon Stoffel is still slashing priues on his clothing stock. Mapy people have taken advantage of the exceedingly low prices and are entirely satisfied with the bargains. Call and see what he has to offer before it is too late. BAKING POWDER AGAIN. Alum Goods That Masquerade at "High- Claaa" Powders. (Retailers'Journal. Chicago.) In previous analysis we have shown that the 25-cent alum baking powders are an imposition, both on the con­ sumer and the retailer, as the difference in cost of manufacture of a 10-cent alnm baking powder'and a 25-cent one is not more than one cent a pound. There is the Calumet baking powder, an alnm powder with about one cent's worth of phosphate added to it, and which retails for 25 ceuts. It is not worth more than 10 or 11 cents which we showed by analysis. In order to sell this powder at all they are now pre­ paring a premium scheme and are go­ ing to give away hairpins and other cheap trash that may be attractive to the eye and cover up their transactions. They can well afford to give 15 cents worth of goods with every pound of baking powder they sell. If alum baking powder is nsed at all, 10 cents is a reasonable price, as alum costs only two cents a pound, which leaves the manufacturer a fair profit. While we know that cream of tartar baking powders are sold at higher prices than others, we also know that chemi­ cally pure cream of tartar used in the highest-grade powders oosts at learft twelve times more than alnm. Clerk's Wise Stijfgestlon. "jf have lately b^en much troubled with dyspepsia, belching and sour stomach," writes M. S. Mead, leading pharmacist of Attleboro, Mass. "I could eat hardly anything without suf fering several hours. My clerk suggest­ ed I try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure which I did with most happy results. I have had no more trouble and when one can go to eating mince pie, cheese, candy and nuts after such a time, their diges­ tion mnst be pretty good. I endorse Kodol Dyspepsia Cnre heartily." You don't have to diet. Eat all the good food you want but don't overload the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cnre digests your food. Julia A. Story, MeHenry; G. W. Besley, West MeHenry.

Beware of counterfeits. Julia A. Story, MeHenry; G. W, Besley, West McHenrv: Medicine Bottle* mm God*. A lady missionary in Burma somd time ago gave the following account of how she was the innocent cause of the worship of medicine bottles having been instituted. In one of her tours she came upon a village where cholera was raging. Having with her a quan­ tity of a famous pain killer, she went from house to house administering the remedy to those attacked and left a number of bottles to be used after she had gone. Returning to the villtge some months subsequently she was met by the head man of the community, who cneered and delighted her by this intelligence: "Teacher, we have come over to your side. The medicine did us so much good that we linVe accepted your god." Overjoyed at this news, she was con­ ducted to the house of her informant, who, opening a room, showed her the pain killer bottles solemnly arranged in a row upon the shelf, and before them the whole company immediately prostrated themselves in worship. Wearing Oat the Nerve*. Many people wear themselves out needlessly. Their conscience is a ty­ rant. An exaggerated sense of duty, says the London Doctor, leads many a person to anxious, ceaseless activity, to be constantly doing something, over- punctual, never idle a second of time, scorn to rest. Such are in unconscious nerve tension. They say they have HO time to rest, they have so much to do, not thinking they are rapidly unfitting themselves for probably what would have been their best and greatest work in after years. Self control of nerve force is the great lesson of health, and therefore of life itself. To understand how to relax is to understand-^o^ t* strengthen nerves. Hearty laughter is a source of relaxation, as are also all high thoughts, as those of hope, beau­ ty, trust or love. Relaxation is found in diversion. What the Barber Pole Represent!. The barbers of long ago were barber surgeons, but the rapid advance of sur­ gical science has caused them to fall from their high estate. The gilt knob at the end of the barber pole of today represents a brass basin, which but a few decades since was actually sus­ pended from the pole. The basin had a notch cut in it to fit the throat and was used in lathering the customer preparatocy to shaving him. The pole represents the staff held by the patient who came to the barber surgeon to be bled. The two spiral stripes painted around it signify two bandages, one for twisting around the arm previous to the act of phlebotomy, or blood let­ ting, the other for binding when the operation was completed. Manx Servant*. .Servants in the Isle of Man who re­ fuse to complete the period of service for which they are engaged are liable tq, curious punishment. In a case be­ fore the magistrate at Peel recently William Corlett, a farm laborer, was charged with refusing to carry out his engagement. It was stated that the penalty provided by a statute of 1065 Is that the servant is to be kept in prison and allowed one cake aud a cup of water per day until he returns to service. Corlett was spared this pun­ ishment, as the magistrate tfas satis­ fied that he had not engaged to serve a stated period. Tlie Front End. A young couple had been married by a Quaker, and after the ceremony he remarked to the husbaud: e "Friend, thou art at the end of thy troubles." A tew weeks after the man came to the good minister boiling over with rage, having found his wife to be a regular vixen, and said: "I thought you told me I was at the end of my troubles!" "So 1 did, friend, but I did not say which end," replied the Quaker. "Tbompkin's Girls" at Stoffel's hall Friday and Saturday evenings. A Fireman's Close Call. "I stuck to my engine.although every joint ached and every nerve was raoked with pain." writes C, W. Bilamy, a lo­ comotive fireman, of Burlington, Iowa, "I was weak and pale, without any ap­ petite and all run down. As I was about to give up, I got a bottle of Electric Bit­ ters aud, after taking it, I felt as well as I ever did in my life," Weak,sickly,run down people always gain new life, strength and vigor from their use.

The talipot palm of Ceylon has gi­ gantic fanlike leaves, which when ful­ ly expanded form a nearly complete circle thirteen feet in diameter. Large fans made of them are carried before people of rank among the Cingalese. They Are also commonly used as um­ brellas. and tents are made by neatly joining them together. They are used as a substitute for paper, being written upon with a stylus. Some of the sa­ cred books of the Cingalese are coil- posed of strips of them. Silenced. A young man in a railway carriage was making fun of a lady's bat to an elderly gentleman in the seat with him. "Yes," said tbe elderly gent, "that's iny wife, and I told her if she wore that bonnet some fool would make fun of it." The young man was silent for the remainder of the journey. J* a*.

HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. F. A. WERNIAR, OF BALTIMORE* SAYS: BALTIMORE, Md., March 30, 1901. Gentlemun .• -- Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now giTe yOM a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. , About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I low my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num­ ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises woula then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw vour advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat­ ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, ana to-day, after five weeks, my bearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank yoo heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours, _ . „. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md.
