I will mail you free, to prove merit samples of my Dr. Shoop's Restorative, and my Book on either Dyspepsia, The Heart or The Kidneys. Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don't make the common error of toting symptoms only. Symptom treatment is treating the result of your ailment, and not the cause. Weak stomach nerves --the inside nerves--mean stomach weakness, always. And the Heart and Kidneys as well have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves and you inevitably have weak vital or­ gans. Here is where Dr. Shoop's Re­ storative has made its fame. No other remedy even claims to treat the "inside nerves." Also for bloating, biliousness, bad breath or complexion, nse Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Write me today for sample and free book. Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. The Restorative is gold by N. H. Petesch. The Man With ttw Wooden Hat, A young Scotsman was shown into the, office of a great engineer at Bir­ mingham. He was wearing a hat of extraordinary shape, and at his nerv­ ousness at meeting the man of fame he let the hat slip. It fell with a hollow thud, upon the floor. The engineer look­ ed with astonishment at the thing. The owner picked it up and apologized for the noise it had caused. It was of wood, he explained. He had made it hinise!?, turning it with his father's lathe. The engineer thought that there must be something in a man who could think out and make such a thing as this. He forthwith engaged him, kept an eye upon him and gave him work of responsibility. The engtneer - was Boulton; the new man, William Mur- dock. The man with the wooden hat was sent away to Cornwall, and when he returned it was to light up his mas­ ter's premises with gas. The mind which first practically applied the coal gas to the purpose of lighting lived in­ side that wooden hat.--St James' Ga­ zette. yOU WITH A LAME BACK ? srmcf Good Manners. A friend of yours and mine has very Jtistfy defined good breeding to be "the result of much good sense, some good nature and a little self denial for this sake of others, and with a view to ob­ tain the same indulgence from them." Taking this for granted--as I think it cannot be disputed--It is astonishing to me that anybody who has good sense and good nature can essentially fail In good breeding. As to the modes of ft, indeed, they vary according to per­ sons, places and circumstances and are only to be acquired by observation and experience, but the substance of it is everywhere and eternally the same. Good manners are to particular socle- ties what good morals are to society In general--their cement and security. And as laws are enacted to enforce goou morals or at least to prevent the ill effects of bad ones, so there are cer­ tain rules of civility, universally im­ plied and received, to enforce good manners and punish bad ones.--Ches­ terfield. Mad* For Fat Man. One of the narrow arches in the gal­ lery of the chapel at Columbia univer­ sity Is not exactly symmetrical, al­ though the defect is not noticeable to the casual observer. The reason for the widening of the arch after its orig­ inal construction had rise in a some­ what humorous occurrence. One of the early visitors was a remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged into the arch when he tried to squeeze through and was extricated with some difficulty. The builders, recognizing the possibility of other fat people be­ ing numbered among the future vis­ itors, decided to widen the arch, sac­ rificing symmetry and harmony to practical need, as the pier was so con­ structed as to bear no loss of width on one of its sides.--New Yark Globe. Caribou Horn*. Not one out of every ten female carl, bou has horns. When they do have them, they are much smaller than those of the bull. The horns of the female have, however, in general many more branches than those of the bull, and they are much more regularly and finely formed. The cows carry their horns much longer tha« the bulls. They have been seen with their horns In the month of April.^ The old bulls shed their chorus from *the 10th to th« last of November. They hardly ever carry them after the month of Novem­ ber. The young bulls shed theirs from the first of December until the middle of February. The younger the animal the longer he retains his horns. Place Yoar Order Now.

Adam's peak, or Mount Samanala, a rugged mountain in the island of Cey­ lon, is known throughout the orient as the "Mountain of the Sacred Foot­ print." In a flat, rocky basin at the foot of this mountain in stone as hard as blue granite there is the perfect im­ print of a gigantic human foot, five and one-half feet long by two and one-half feet wide. The Ceyloneae Brahmans have a legend to the effect that the im­ print was made by Adam, our first par­ ent, but the Buddhists declare that It could have been made by no one but Buddha.
