"Knowledge better than houses and lands," is the title of one of the first books presented to the children, and it is the substance of ten thousand pre­ cepts which are constantly dinned into their ears from infancy npwards. It is a trnth that should never be forgotten. Those who most constantly bear it in mind and who purchase books with an eye to future benefits, accumulate more than a fair share of the world's goods. With the single exception of a good conscience, no possession can be so valu­ able as a £ood stock of general informa­ tion. When we speak of information we do not mean that merely which has direct reference to one's trade, business or profession. A thoro knowledge of one's business or profession is not enough in itself to constitute what is called a well-informed man. On the contrary, one who possesses this kind of information only is generally regarded as a mere machine, unfit for society or rational enjoyment. A man should pos­ sess a certain amount of liberal and scientific information, to which he should always be adding something as long as he lives. "Keep a thing seven years and you will find use for it," is an old time motto which will apply admir­ ably well to any branch of knowledge. Learn any branch of science, language or art and you will find it of use to you. Employ that liesure which others waste in idle and corrupting pursuits in the acquisition of those branches of know­ ledge which serve to amuse as well as instruct, and yon will never regret it. Natural history, chemistry, electricity or any of the kindred branches of study will be of practical benefit to you, and the knowledge gained by their study gives one a quiet self-confidence, an ease and self-possession that stamps him as a person of good breeding in any so­ ciety. If asked what book we consider­ ed best for the general reader we would unhesitatingly recommend the "Fire­ side University," by John McGovern. We would recommend it for the power and beauty of its language, as well as for its practical value to the reader. 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. Troublss of the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don't make the common error of treating 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, use Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Write me today for sample and free book. Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. The Restorative is sold by N. H. Petesch. Place Your Order Now. The government postal authorities have caused to be posted in every posi- office in the country a circular letter to the public, urging everyone to use en velopes with a return card printed thereon. Every business man, farmer or person of any occupation should have his name and address printed on his envelopes, thus insuring their return to the sender if any mistake is made in the address. Call at The Plaindealer office and leave orders for this stationery and it will be put up in first-class manner. "Regular as the Sun" is an expression as old as the race. No doubt the rising and setting of the sun is the most regular performance in the universe, unless it is the action of the liver and bowels when regulated with Dr. King's New Life Pills.

QUARTER OF A CENTURY. Item Clipped from The Plaindealer et . August 16, 1(M, % Oat baeeball boys went to Wauoonda | on Friday and played a game with the (club at that town. The result was a score of 18 to 14 in favor of McHenry. The new Johnsburg bridge will be completed and turned over to the com- missinnftrs the Isst of this week or th first of next. Good judges pronounce tt an A No. 1 bridge. Paul Brown, Chas. Owen, Frank Mo- Omber and Henry Smith of this village and Willis Smith of'Clifton, 111., are camping on Jtisten's point, Pistakee Lake. George Owen and wife and O. N. Owen of this village, Miss Jennie Bab­ bitt of Eltjin, Frank Cutler of Chicago are camping on Pitzen's point, Pistakee Lake. A large party from this village, El­ gin and Chicago took possession of the Elgin club house at Fox lake on Satur­ day, where they propose to stay for the next two weeks. The following com prise the party: Mrs. O. E. Hinsdall and children, Miss Clara Fish, Miss El­ la Himes and Mrs. John Falk of Elgin; Miss Bartlett of Bartlett Station; Church and family and Mrs. Peck of Chicago; Mrs. Benson Hanly, Mrs. E. J. Hanly and children, Mrs. S. Searles and daughter, Mrs. C. B. Curtis and Mrs. Jos. Fitzsimmons of McHenry; Mrs. Snow of New York; Mrs. Wm. Salisbury and family of Itasca, III. Someone unknown, either with ma­ licious intent or unintentionally, 'threw a stone, probably with a sling shot, rfrom the direction of the mill dam, and which struck S. Colyer, who was sitting in front of Owen's warehouse, in the forehead, inflicting an ugly bruise. If done on purpose the perpetrator should be severely punished, but if accidental should be taught better. It might have occasioned serious injury. Mr. Colyer offers $5 reward for information to con­ vict the person who did the act. We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary to the annual fair of the McHenry County Agricultural board, which takes place September 12 to 16, inclusive, for which the secretary will please accept our thanks.

About a year ago when I had a severe attack of the measles I got caught in a hard rain and the measles settled in my stomach and bowels. I had an awful time and had it not been for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy I could not possibly have lived but a few hours longer, but thanks to this remedy I am now strong and well.

Hottie of Hv-'nrrr-I Finance anil Markets. .Nothing about a metropolitan news­ paper shows more plainly a high degree of organization than an accurate and comprehensive report of the world's markets. As might be expected, the Chicago Record-Herald covers this field in the same satisfactory manner that is characteristic of the paper's entire news service. It tells its readers every day what consols are worth in London, what money and stocks are worth in New York, what wheat and 'the other grains are, worth in Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis and the other markets and presents in addition accurate informa­ tion on the eventB and conditions that determine these values. The Record- Herald is the only liiorning paper in Chicago having its own special corre­ spondent to cover the New York stock market. George S. Beachel's letters report the daily movements of the New York stock and money markets in a way that shows the writer's close asso­ ciation with the men who rule in those affairs in Wall street. Equal attention is devoted to the Chicago stock afcd financial markets and to the daily move ments of prices on the board of trade. The "Speculative Gossip" and the notes that record Wall street and LaSalle street happenings contain many a line that shows a bit of the "real" inside history of the various markets. The Record-Herald makes it a point to cover in full the financial reports of compan­ ies and corporations and devotes partic­ ular attention to banking interests in Chicago and the West. The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation of human life is-many years below the at­ tainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period, that determines its duration, seems to be between 50 and 60; the proper care of the body between this decade cannot be too strongly urged, carelessness then being fatal to longevity. Nature's best helper after 50 is Electric Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine that revital­ izes every organ of the body. Guaran­ teed by N. H. Petesch, F. Masquelet, McHenry; G. W.
