For each smoker at least a hun­ dred persons are forced to inhale nico tine fumes. Infants breathe tobacco smoke, apprentices in work shops, young men in factories, the world is steeped in the fumes of tobacco. Instinct at first ^protests, then tolerates, and by a well know^law, tolerant*? begets desire, and Q n a l l y a n a l l b u t u n c o n t r o l l a b l e p a s s i o n . s t i l l If this is true we should be as wise as the Chinese who banish opintn smokers to out of the way dens. Like dope- fiends, tobacco worshipers should be relegated to special private smoking rooms and private promenades. Pois­ oning the air should be made a misde­ meanor. Avoid nicotine fnmes as the effluvia pf a small pox patient, is the warning given by Dr. Feljx Oswald. ' The Gooil Old Way. A severe cold or attack of la grippe is like a fire, the sooner yon combat, it the batter are your chances to overpower it. But few mothers in this age are willing to do the necessary work® reqnired to ive a good old fashioned reliable treat­ ment such as would be administered by their grandmothers, backed by Bos- chee's German Syrup, which was. al­ ways used in connection with the home treatment of colds and is still in greater household favor than any known reme­ dy. But even without the application of the old fashioned aids German Syr­ up will cure a severe cold in quick time. It will cure cold's in children, or grown people. It relieves the congested or­ gans, allays the irritation, and effect­ ively stops the cough. Any child will take it. It is invaluable in a household of children.

"Death was fast approaching," writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla., describing his fearful race with death, "as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and of all interest in life. I had tried many different doctors and several med­ icines, bnt got no benefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters. So wonderful was their effect, that in three days I felt like a new man. and today I am cured of all my troubles." Guaranteed at N. H. Petesch's and Julia A Story's, Me Henry, and G. W.

A, Brady's musical re­ view "All 'Round Chicago." This •piece, which is a "musical topsV-turvy " and which h^s startled the community by its fidelity to Chicago life and people, has been played to audiences that have tested the enormous capacity of Mc- Vicker's, the largest theatre in Chicago outside of the Auditorium. The reasons for the<$>opularity of the new piece are not far to seek * The, scenery is espe­ cially attractive and atflhe play progress­ es the andience is ta^en to the College Inn, to the Andito^imii, the lake front near the Annex, oh State street, oppo­ site the new pout-office arid onto the stage of McVicker's where a burlesque of-"Way Down East" is .the convulsing feature. Besides these varied scenes "All 'Round Chicago" has some twenty mtisical numbers which are being whis­ tled and which arouse tremendous en­ thusiasm. The newspaper critics were delighted with the piece. The Jonrnal tsaid 'Nobody in Chicago ought to miss it." The Post said "A bigger show than tbiB review was never offered for a dollar." The Record Herald remarked "A hilarious entertainment for a hilari­ ous people," and so on through the list. There are one hundred and fifty peo­ ple, mostly girls, and pretty ones at that, they wear 500 or more costumes and the great feature of the play, the Eight Moulin Rogue girls, direct from Paris, in their famous "dance in the air" has caught the fancy of the town The Secret of Suceeiw. Forty million bottles of August Flow„- er sold in the United States alone since its introduction! And the demand for growing. Isn't this a fine showing of success? Doesn't it prove that August Flower has bad unfailing success in the cure of indigestion and dyspepsia--the two greatest enemies of health and happiness? Does it not af­ ford the best evidence that August Flower is a sure specific for all stouiach and intestinal disorders?--that it has proved itself the best of all liver regu­ lators? August Flower has a matchless record of over thirty-five years in cur­ ing the ailing millions of these distress­ ing complaint8--a success that is becom­ ing wider in its scope every day, at home and abroad, as the fame of Aug­ ust Flower spreads.
