There is a law in most states to prevent men from earning concealed weapons. It ought, in justice, to be amended in such a manner as will prevent women from carrying a whcle armory of hat pins. To cure piles, strike at the root that’s the way. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve strikes at the root it removes the cause, quickly and permanently. Don't squander time and money to remove the effects.

Made a new man of him. Bryan, Ohio, Jan. 13, 1897. Gentlemen: For years I had been suffering with indigestion.

feeling. After using three 50c bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin I I am now able to eat anything my ap- < petite craves and can sav it has made i a new man of me. Eli Bowen. Holt- 1 house, Callow & Co. j < Now that colored shirts are so universally worn, the question of what , neckwear harmonizes best with the , various colors has become a very important one. To see a man with a j pink shirt and a red neck tie is something horrible and a bright blue scarf ] with a light blue shirt is pretty nearly as bad. As a rule, black or white will go with any colored shirt, but if colors are worn, they must either ' match exactly or contrast radically. For instance, garnet or dark cardinal ' looks well with a blue shirt. Black figured with lavender looks well with a pink shirt, and navy twill figured 1 with white will be correct when worn ! with shirts where pink or red is the • predominating color.

When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy’s drug store and they recommended Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fifty times its price. G. H. Wilson, liveryman, Burgettstown, Washington Co., Pa. This remedy is for sale by Holthouse. Callow & Co. j

Fielding Mercer, one of Chicago’s prominent lumbermen whois interested in lumber yards in a dozen Indiana towns, says that it is a mistake about there being such a stiff raise in the price of lumber.

Holthouse, Callow & Co. j A young lady of Monticello boarded a train the other day with her new baby, and not having had time to buy a ticket, paid her fare in cash.
