They are the most timid and bashful^ people in the world, being too shy to mingle with the other races of the Is­ land. They dwell in the darkest re­ cesses of the mountain forests an4 have seldom been seen by white men. One has never been known to willingly face a stranger. This being the case, their trade with the Malayans is car­ ried on in a very strange way. The trader announces his arrival by beat­ ing a gohg and then retires from the place of rendezvous. T*he shy Kubus then approach, put their forest treaa- ures on the ground, beat the trader's gcng and retreat. The trader then re­ turns and lays his commodities down In quantities sufficient to pay the pur­ chase price of the goods on sale. He then disappears for a second time, this to give the Kubus a chance to re­ turn and consider the bargain. After many withdrawals, approaches, gong beatings, ekui;»n understanding Is ar­ rived at, and each party carries away its bargain. This remarkable race knows nothing of a supreme being, heaven, hell or evil demons. They have no system of marriage and never bury their dead. They live on snakes, ants, bugs, grubs, etc. Prices Riabt! goods Right! Customers Satisfied That's just the way business is conducted at this store.

J: PURELY PERSONAL j* Very BemwlMblc Care of Dlarrhosa " About six years ago for the first time in my life I bad a sudden and se­ vere attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advetise- ment of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testi­ monial of a man who had been enred by it. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonderful. I could hard­ ly believe that I was well again, or be­ lieve it oould be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cored me".

When the stomach is overloaded; when food is taken into it that fails & digest, it decays and inflames the mu­ cous. membrane, exposing the nerves, and causes the glands to secrete, mucin, instead of the natural juices of diges­ tion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. "For years I suffered with Catarrh of the Stomach, caused by in­ digestion. Doctors and medicines failed to cure me until I used Kodol Dyspepsia cure." J. R.
