I tried many reme­ dies, but none seemed to do any perma­ nent good until I used DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. The Eczema is cured, the scabs are gone and the little one's scalp is perfectly clean and healthy and its hair is growing beautifully again. I cannot give too much praise to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve--Frank Farmer, Bluff City, Ky. In buying Witch Hazel Salve look out for counterfeits.

The women of the commonnlty are voluble mid vixenish and ever ready to ship a handful of stars Into the eyes of a husband or into those of a timid and shrinking tourist should the oc­ casion arise. The women of the upper class are rigorously excluded from mas­ culine eyes, and a hearty vote of thanks is due the committee who fathered this unwritten law. The dainty little Jap­ anese musmee, teetering along In san­ dals or on wooden geta, is a genuine relief to the eye after a view of the un­ comely Korean woman. Until Korean boys are married and acquire the pseudo dignity of the top­ knot their hair is worn girl fashion In twin plaits down their backs. So much do they resemble girls that it is some­ times difficult to determine the sex, and one is oftentimes uncommonly surpris­ ed to observe what he is positive are two girls sprawling and viciously fight­ ing in a Korean street.--Outing.

Richmond correspondent to Plaindeal- er: My place was so ably filled by a brother or sister last week that I am inclined to lay off for good, and let so able a hand hereafter represent the vil­ lage. Bnt a sense of duty to my sinful neighbors nrges me to keep on in the glorious work of reform and regener^- tion which I have begun. I can already see hopeful fruits spring from the seed that I have planted, and I very much expect to see the devil shamed out of all our possessed citizens, and a regin of (>eace and harmony dawn upon Rich­ mond. When that is accomplished I will lay down my pen, cast off my arm­ or and bask in the sun of the victory I have gained. Teudeiiejr of the Time*. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measnres. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to core. It has been fnlly demonstrated 'that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medi­ cal men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Congh Remedy. Pneumonia always re­ sults from a cold or an attack of influ­ enza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any ten­ dency of these diseases toward pneu­ monia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with im­ plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re­ sults from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly dis­ covered that there is fever and difficul­ ty in breathing and pains in the jbeat, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the Cold is contracted. It al­ ways cures. For sale by all druggists. Taxea! Taxes!

The Hmrdtneaa of Tie a a. An expert nurseryman says the hard­ iness or nonhardiness of trees depends largely upon where the seeds from Which the trees in question sprang came from. Satisfactory results are seldom experienced by planting a seed obtain­ ed from the sunny south, say. By plant­ ing seeds generally farther north, how­ ever, trees may be at length hardened and acclimated until a seed from such a tree may be reasonably expected to thrive and mature its fruits. Trees, like people, acquire their hab­ its from the climate in which they live. The northern tree knows Instinctively when the time has come to ripen its fruits. The southern tree follows the same instinct, being in no hurry, as there is little likelihood of real cold. With transplanting* farther north ita habit changes. The great trouble with most people is that they want to jump a tree from south to north at one move. This same idea is evident in the attempt to bring various fruit trees from Russia to the northern United States.

"My wife had lung troubles for over ' fifteen,years," writes Mr. W. W. Baker . of Plainview, Neb. "We tried a nnm- • ber of doctors and spent over a thous­ and dollars without any relief. She was very low and I lost all hope, ~ when a friend suggested trying Foley's Hon­ ey and Tar, which I did; and thanks be to this great remedy it' saved her life. She is stronger and enjoyB better health than she has known in ten years. We shall neve? be without Foley's Honev and Tar and would ask those afflicted to try it."

Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most.

Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that.
