Why then buy an inferior Paint just^ecause it costs a few cents per gallon less than a well known first-class brand? That is folly, for a cheap paint is made of poor material and seldom lasts more than a year or two, whereas a good one should wear for five years at least. Our Crown. Cottage Colors will not chalk peel or scale and in covering capacity and durability is superior to the majority of Paints made iuclnding White Lead and Oil. Considering these facts, why not buy the best and save money.

FEMALE WEAKNESS 542 1- 2 Congress St. Pobtland, Mains, Oct. 17,1901. I consider Wine of Cardui superior to any doctor's medicine I ever used and I know whereof I apeak. I auf* fered for nine months with suppressed menstruation which completely pros­ trated me. Pains would shoot toroa|h my back and sides and I would have blinding headaches. Mv limbs would swell up and I would reel so weak I oould not stand up. I naturally felt discouraged for I seemed to be beyond the help of physicians, but Wine of Oardui oamo as a God-send to me. I felt a change for the better within a week. After nineteen days treatment I menstruated without suffering the agonies I usually did and soon beoame regular and without pain. Wine of Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish that all suffering woman knew at Its good qualities. Important Decision Lower Insurance Rates to bo Given to Persons who do not Drink Alcohoilo Liquors By a recent decision of on* of hgf est insurance companies of the United States, lower rates are to be given thoee persons who do not indulge in the use of any Intoxicating liquors. This is just, far statistics from all sources show that the use of alcohoilo drinks always predis­ poses to kidney troubles, and Bright^ Disease, Diabetes and all other fatal kid­ ney diseases are far more frequent drinkers of beer and alcohoilo beverages than among those who do not Indulge in them. In a recent address before the Senate of the United 8tates, Hon. J. H. Gallinger, Senator from New Hampshire, gave the results of most thorough Investigations made to ascertain the effects of beer drink­ ing upon the health and life of individ­ uals. lie showed conclusively that alnxMl all cases of Brlght's Disease were caused by beer drinking and that other fatal kid­ ney troubles had the same origin as a rule.. As probably a large majority of mea drink beer It becomes a matter of great concern to know the best way of overcom­ ing its effects upon the kidneys. There !• nothing that will so quickly make the kid­ neys right in these cases as Foley's Kip- n*y Cube. If taken early it will cure every form of kidney trouble and even In hope­ less cases It will give relief. It is an hott­ est preparation and can be relied npoa le do all that is claimed for it. G.
