On Saturday, Oct. 10, I will open a strictly first-class grocery store in my new building, near the river, and solicit a share of your patronage. Everything fresh in staple and fancy groceries. Lowest cash prices will prevail. Call on the 10th and give us a trial order. Anto.'n Schneider DESPAIR MD HOPE The photograph showing the horrible skin torture (Psoria­ sis , form of dry Eczema), this gen­ tleman suffered from for fifteen years can be seen at our store. These are actual pho" tographs takerj before jw&nd after treatment with D. D. D., and they prove con­ clusively the value of the medicine. A Tragic Life Story. If there is anything in the theory that tire get oar heaven and hell here on earth, it could be said with perfect truth that a $1 medical prescription known as D, D. D., literally lifted this man out of hell. The awful miseries of a poisoned skin can b® understood only by the afflicted. The nights of sleepless agony with hands tied te prevent tearing the flesh, the rundown general conditiofi which results, and the black hopelessness of life can all be visibly traced in the first of these photos. As will be seen this man is a man of powerful physique, but it will be seen from his face in the first picture that it is a grim struggle to live and keep up his courage. in contrast, if the reader will fairly consider the picture after treatment ^ith D. D. D., anew man is seen. Study this picture; contrast the two. Something has worked a wonder here. Reader, it was nothing on earth but D. D. D. and a kind Providence which directed the attention of this man to a public announcement about this medicament and its wonderful work in such cases. Providence went farther than this; it gave him some confidence in what he read. He made up his mind that he would try it. To this fact he owes all the peace, content and happiness so plainly seen in his face in the second picture. He states that after the third application of the remedy all his previous distress had disappeared entirely. The fevered condition resulting from continued irritation had subsided and he slept soundly nights. The name of this getleman is Mr. Henry Walters, of St. Louis, Mo. We have the sworn affidavit of Mr. Walters thatin just twenty-nine days after starting treat­ ment with D. D. D. he discontinued further use of it, every visible trace of the dis­ ease having disappeared. Since that time not a trace of the trouble has shown itself on any part of his body. His hair has since grown long and the scrubby beard pre­ viously grown on his face to hide the sores, is kept cleanly shaved, apd he is today a man of strikingly fine appearance, with the highest ambition and activities in life and every happiness possible to most men here on earth. Results of this kind that are proven to be directly due to a preparation of this sort certainly call for public ap­ preciation. This prescription in sealed bottles, bearing authentic label of D. D. D. Co. of Chicago, sold at $1. The bottle is a liberal one and has proved sufficient to entirely cure many cases. fiidllac Cap*. An article In the Burlington Maga­ zine describes some early English earthenware drinking cups of eccentric patterns. The principal feature of most of the quaint tygs, or loving cups, Is llieir astonishing number of handles, which range from two to as many as twelve. It Is supposed that the purpose of this equipment was that the cup might pass from hand to hand and each guest have a fresh portion of the rim to himself, no doubt an excellent arrangement for the first time round! Not content with half a dooen or so of full grown handles, the potter frequent­ ly inserted between each of them a sort of rudimentary handle, consisting of a looped strip of clay. The "fud­ dling cup" is a cluster of Jjalf a dozen good sized cups joined together. When it la realized that the six cups commu­ nicate with ^ach other internally, so that to empty one you must empty all, the force of the name will be apparent. Any doubt as to the use of these formi­ dable vessels Is dispelled by the In­ scription: "Fill me full of sid&r. Drink of ine." - - - . / Mr. C. J. Edmonds of Lincoln, IB., traveling solicitor for a large printing house, who is well and favorably known throughout Central Illinois, says under date of May 11th, 1908: "I have used Harte' Honey and Horehound for the cure of Coughs and Colde in my family for the past two pears and have always found the medicine to be all that it is recommended to be. We always beep a bottle of it in the honse." Harts' Honey and Horehound is undoubtedly one of the best cough medicines com­ pounded. It contains no opium or oth­ er stupefying drugs, and is the safest in rise for small children. Large bottles 25c, 50c and $ 1.00. Sold by G. W. Bes- ley, druggist, W. McHenry. The Decimal Point. In both France and Germany one- fourth (Vi) reduced to a decimal is writ­ ten as .25; In England It is written "25 (always with the period at the top of the line) and in the United States in this way, .25. France and Germany always use the comma, England and the United States the period, the only difference being the manner in which it Is placed upon the line!, Sir l^aac New­ ton is given the credit of originating the present English method of using the decimal point his reasons being that by placing it at the top of the line It could be distinguished at a glance from the "full stop" punctuation mark. All English mathematicians use the mark In the way proposed by Newton and the period as a sign of multiplica­ tion. Do Good--It Pays. -- A Chicago man has observed that "Good deeds are better than real estate deeds--some of the latter are worthless Act kindly and gently, show sympathy «»nd lend a helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it." Most men appre­ ciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons in this commfanity who might truth*ully say: "My good friend, cheer up.' A few \doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold, and there is no danger whatever from pnenmonia when you nse that medicine. It always cures. I know it for it has helped me ont many a time." Sold by all druggists. The Olova h a# 014 »" HUtory. It might be readily supposed that the glove was an article of modern luxury. On the contrary, these hand coverings date back almost as far as history it­ self. Homer mentions them in bis writ­ ings, and Xeuophon also, stating that the great Cyrus once forgot his gloves on an important occasion. From the earliest times the manufacture of 'gloves has been an Important trade in France, and in 790 Charlemagne grunt­ ed an unlimited right to the abbot and monks of Sithin to make gloves from the skins of deer they killed. The word glove being of Anglo-Saxon origin, it is conjectured by some that the Saxons Introduced the trade of glove making Into England. Eczema is probably the worst and most stubborn of skin diseases, and it was for this that this prescription was studied out and perfected, but all skin diseases are caused by para­ sites or some form of germ life in the skin-structure. The prescription quickly and entirely annihilates all forms of parasitic life lodged anywhere in the skin. Many people imagine they have blood trouble when they break out with some form of skin affection, but not in one case in a hundred is this a fact, as the very healthiest blood is often found in the strongest men affected with breaks and erup­ tions of some kind in the skin. In all such cases the trouble is at the surface or near the surface, and it can be searched out and annihilated completely by this preparation. The Above is True. We have received carefully prepared and fully attested documents and particulars regarding the case above mentioned of Mr. Henry Walters, of St. Louis, a victim of psoriasis, a form of eczema. We can say to all persons afflicted with any form of skin disease that the medical testimony submitted shows beyond a doubt that they can cure themselves by the use of this preparation. We say beyond a doubt. We mean this fully, providing the affection is really a skin disease, as it has been shown that each of the known germs that cause skin affection have been entirely routed mt conquered by the preparation. Geo. W. Besley, West McHenry, III While opening- a box, J. C. Mount, of Three Mile Bay, N. Y., ran a ten penny n*il through the fleshy part of his hand. "I thought at once of all the pain and soreness this would cause me," be says, and immediately applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm and occasionally afterwards. To my surprise it removed all pain and soreness and the injured parts were soon healed." For sale by all druggists. Hydrocele]™ (Cured to Stmy ; Cured in S Daym Cutting or Pato. I.D.

The rustic choir's greatest show vu always made In the anthem, In which some bumpkin had generally a solo to exhibit his "lusty voice." It was a splendid musical display--of its Wind. People came from a long distance to hear it and felt so satiated that they left without the pennon. No wonder Shakespeare made Sir John Falstaff lose his voice with "hallooing and sing­ ing of anthems." To be sure, he was guilty of an anacht%nlsm, for there were no anthems in the fat knight's time, but it may reasonably be sup­ posed that he had become so impressed with this part of the service In his own day that he dropped into the nod which even Homer is privileged occasionally to enjoy. The Jack Tar who explained a "han- them" to his mate on the simple prin­ ciples of verbal elongation was, not so far out after all. "If I was to say to you," he began, ""Ere, Bill, give me that handspike,' that wouldn't be a hanthem, but If I was to say to you, 'Bill, Bill, Bill, give, give, give me, give me that, that, that handspike, spike, spike, spike,' why, that would be a hanthem." Just after this fashion did the old village choirs tear and toss their anthem texts. -- Cornhill Maga­ zine. ImfrMiloas Willi* DnmUg. Most of us, I expect, at some time or other have wondered what it feels like to be drowned. If we have never seen any one drowning we mean by this that we wonder whether it Is at all like what It is represented to be-- whether one's whole past life passes before one's eyes like a dream, wheth­ er one spends one's last few moments In wishing one had spent more profita­ bly the last few years. If we have seen people drowning we wonder whether it feels as had as it looks. Now, I cannot pretend to have been nearly drowned. Nor can-I say what It feels like to siiik after a prolonged struggle in calm wa­ ter within sight of land. But I can say what it feels like to be quite convinced that one Is going to be drowned, and I am happy to know from personal ex- perlonoo that the feeling Is one merely of disappointment. One is simply an­ noyed, certainly not angry, certainly not afraid.--Hubert Walter In Black­ wood's.

The firm telegraphed to Inquire bow many revolutions a minute he wanted. Ha answered, "Five hundred revolutions a minute." The next day he was arrest­ ed. Brought into court, the Judge asked him if he lived in the Lebanon. He replied that he did. "Do you cor­ respond with such and such a firm in Paris?" -Yes." "Ahl" cried the Judge. Ml know you. You are the man who telegraph­ ed to Paris that there are 500 revolu­ tions a minute in the Lebanon!" The <)uktr's Retort. In the early days of the White House, when Dolly Madison was its presiding genius, the conversation was lively, and the bonmot, the repartee and even the retort gave zest to the talk. On one oc­ casion a Quaker from Philadelphia who was dining with the president paid back the raillery of the gay hostess in hef own coin. As Mrs. Madison, look­ ing very handsome in ajj evening gown that displayed her pliynp shoulders to great advantage, took her seat at the table, she raised her wine glass to her lips and, bowing to her guests, said gayly, "Here's to thy absent broad brim. Friend Ha Howell," to which the Quaker, nothing daunted, said, return­ ing the bow to his hostess, "And here's to thy absent kerchief, Friend Doro­ thy." What She Sfcoald Do. Bertie had been forbidden under se­ vere penalties to play in the rain bar­ rel, but the other day, sad to relate, his mamma and grandmother found him splashing in It in high glee. His mamma's face hardened, but the grandmother's kind heart led her to make a plea for the offender. Bertie heard the plea, and when his mamma asked him sternly what she should do to a little boy who did not piind what was told him he answered promptly: "I fink you had better mind your mamma." A WUeifrMd Vanity. ® In these days there seem to be as many writers as there are readers. The spread of authorship and its egregious pride is hit off in this dialogue from the Fllegende Blatter: A guest at a hotel table reading the bill of fare says, "Your bill of fare is great!" •*1 am glad to bear it," replies the head waiter. "I ain its author." Some Hope. Whiting--Since my son has been at college the things he has learned are perfectly marvelous. Biting--I've no doubt of it, but I Irouldn't worry.

Then the colossal proportions of every detail become apparent; then one may discover that the pen in the hand of St. Mark is as long as a six foot grenadier. On approaching the row of apostles which stand along the et̂ e of the roof and which seem to the by­ stander In the street below of the size of ordinary human beings one will find gigantic figures whose eyes are as big as men's heads and whose fingers vie In size with an athlete's forearm. The roof is indeed a city In Itself, for here are rows of houses where the workmen who are constantly employed in repair­ ing the cathedral have their homes. A fountain supplies them with water, and their provisions are brought to them on the backs of donkeys driven up the broad and easy incline of thi stairway. It is not possible for the proprietors to publish more than a very few of the nu­ merous letters received in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar­ rhoea Remedy and telling of its remark­ able cures. They come from people in every walk in life and from every state in the Union. The following from Mr. T. W. Greathouse of Prattsburg, da., speaks for itself: "I would have been dead now but for the use of Chamber­ lain 's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem­ edy. It cured me of chronic diarrhoea after seven years of suffering. I can never say too much in praise of that remedy." For sale by all druggists. Am Ailment of the Feet. Poetry Is at last classified.
