Pneumonia often follows la grippe but never follows the use of Foley's Honey and Tar. It cures la grippe coughs and prevents pneumonia and consumption. Ask for Foley'8 Honey and Tar and re­ fuse any substitute offered. Mr. G. Vacher, of 157 Osgood St., Chicago, writes: "My wife had a severe case of la grippe three years ago, and it left her with a terrible cough. She tried a bot­ tle of Foley's Honey and Tar and it gave immediate relief. A 50 oent bottle cured her cough entirely." Refuse sub­ stitutes. G. W. Besley. Sherman Hill Banket Social* The basket social given at the Wittfe- man Hill school house last Thursday evening was a decided success. The program, tho short, was spicy and en­ tertaining, showing earnest effort on the parts of both teacher and pupils. After the program, the baskets were sold at auction. The patrons of the echool showed their appreciation of the peedd of their children by their gener­ osity in contributing so largely for the school fund. Everyone went home feeling be had spent a very profitable as well as enjoyable evening Doctor* Could Not Help Her. "I bad kidney trouble for years," writes Mrs. Raymond Conner of She!- ton, Wash . ^and the doctors could not help me. I tried Foley's Kidney Cure, and the very first dose gave me relief and I am now cured. I cannot say too much for Foley's Kidney CuTe." It makes the diseased kidneys sound so that they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. Unless they do this, good health is impossible. G. W. Besley. MUMICHI Wia JSzoellent.

He goes to a farm house and extraots teeth with out cost, when a new set is to go in. He calls again in a few days and gets half tbe pay for a new set of teeth, and fails to appear again, leaving the victim min­ us teeth and cash. There is bailing and weeping, but owing to circumstances, no gnashing of teeth. There is however, a terrible chewing of gums. A young man fond of dancing recent­ ly took a pedometer with him to a ball, and found that in the coarse of the even­ ing he had covered thirteen and a half miles. The average length of a waltz was half a mile, of a polka three-quar­ ters of a mile, a gallop or schottische a mile aud of a lancers a quarter of a mile. A girl will usually dance more than a man, and is calculated to cover more than sixteen miles in a single evening. Just think what would happen if tbe average girl were compelled to cover that much territory in one day while engaged in some useful household duty! Wouldn't her feeble limbs ache?

Shedd & Co. commencnoed operations on the pond last week, but on Thursday night all hands struck for higher wages. The company immediately paid them off and sent out a lo,t of men from Chi­ cago. This the strikers objected to, and by threats and blusters prevented the new men from going to work. Tbe boss telegraphed the situation to tbe company and last evening Mr. Shedd came out, and at the time of writing, (Wednesday morning) work has com rnenced on the ice, and whether the strikers will interfere remains to be seen. ^ Oliver N. Owen, son of E. M. Owen, met with a severe and painful accident on Saturday evening. While going from the house to the store of Perry & Martin, where he is employed, a re volver in his overcoat pocket was acci- dently discharged, the ball striking him in the thigh, passing down some six or eight inches, striking the bone near the knee, glanced off and lodged in the side of the leg. Drs. Howard and Anderson were called who extracted the ball, and he is now doing as well as could be ex­ pected. It was fortunate that it did not go into the knee joint, as it would probably have made him a cripple for life. As it is no serious result is antici­ pated. Holiday Danee.

Canning Factory Promoter* la MeHenry This Week Looking Over Field In View of Locating Plaut Here. Two gentlemen from Chicago were in McHenry this week looking over the field in view of locating a canaing fac­ tory here. Their proposition is to get the farmers about this vicinity interested in the af­ fair, to whom they wish to sell shares. If enough shares can be sold it is more than likely that a plant of this kind will be located in our midst. McHenry farmers have already a good market for their several products and with the ad dition of a vegetable market the farmers wants would be complete as far as marketing of their produce is concerned. Mr. Geo. H. Hanly, in company with the factory promoters, has been doing quite a bit of canvasing among the fanners and we are informed that the project is meeting with most encourag­ ing results. Of course it all lies with the farmers and they have the question before them--whether or not they want a market for their vegetables. We think tbey all see the great benefit which would be derived from such a plant and hope t ley will act accordingly McHenry now has several small fac­ tory concerns, which everyone knows are helping the town wonderfully. Now, why not, %hile we have the op­ portunity, land another conoern? . Holiday goods at Petesch's. / BIG TARGET 8HOOT T* !*•)(» Place At Jot. J. Merte»* Plaee, Pistakee Bay.
