AitqjP# Phyttta Call, In I«ll®*» MmUIV MftkMine far An|a<t, K yon hold your ^st as tight as yon cau hold it for fifteen minutes the fa­ tigue yon will feel when it relaxes is a clear proof of the energy yon have been wasting; and if the waste is so gr^at in the useless tightening of a fist, it is still greater iu the extended and continuous contraction of brain and nerves incuse­ less fears; and the energy saved through dropping the fears and their accompa­ nying tension can bring in the same pro- p ation a vigor unknown before-- and, at tiie same time, afford protection against the very things we feared. \% The fear of taking cold is so strong in many people that a draught of fresh air becomes a bugaboo to their contracted, sensitive nerves. Draughts are knag- inea as existing everywhere, and the contraction whichv immediately follows the. sensation of a draught is the best means of preparing to catch a cold. Fear of accident keeps one in a state of unnecessary terror. To be willing that an accident should happen does'not make it more likely t<o happen, bat it prevents our wasting energy by resist­ ance, and keeps u* quiet and free, so that if an emergency of any kind arises, we are prejwred to act promptly and calmly for the best. There are big and little neivous fears, and each an>l all can be met and conquered--thus bring­ ing a freedom of life which cannot even be imagined by those carrying the bur­ den of fear, more or less, 'throughout their lives. Brutally Tortured. A case came to light ttfat for persist­ ent and unmercifnl torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Calif., writes, "For }5 years I endured insufferable pain from Rheu­ matism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known I came across Electric fitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bbttles of it completely relieved and cured me." Just as good for Liver and Kidney troubles and general debility/ Only 50c. Satisfaction guaranteed by Julia A. Story, N. H. Petescb, McHen­ ry, Q. W. Beslev, W. McHenr^r. An VnripActril Retort. A conn try newspaper man., who is very fond of honey, visited a neighbor­ ing city recently, and at one of the hotels h|^as served with some delicious honey. He enjoyed it so mnch that he told his wife all about it when he re­ turned home. On his next trip to the city she accompanied'him. Thejg: visit­ ed the same hotel, and When tie noon meal was being served he said to his wife that he hoped they had some more of that> honey. It did not appear, how-' ever? and the newspaper man, there­ fore, beckoned to a waiter and said, "Say, Sambo, where is my honey?" He waa almost paralyzed when that worthy grinned and replied: "She doan work here no more, boss. She done got a job at the silk mill." The wife re­ ceived a. handsome new dress before they reached home, after making a sol­ emn promise not to tell the story.--Em­ ma C. Campbell, in August Lippincott's. No Pity Shown.

We have received from The Coupon" Press, Washington Heights, Chicago, a book of 95 stickers like a postage stamp only larger, each being a half tone por­ trait of"the president with the title, "Four Years More for Teddy."
