Nachtrieb & F uelling. j The Warsaw Times advocates the erection of a martin box on every farm near the residence. They are purely an insectivorous bird and they destroy many of these pests every season. The box should be kept free of sparrows until the martins arrive in the spring.

No remedy gave me relief until DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, less than a box permanently cured me.” Soothing, healing, perfectly harmless. Beware of counterfeits. Smith, Yager & Falk. ts The Plymouth Democrat has succeeded in getting a number of fanners throuhout Marshal county to have their names painted on their house or barn, so that people traveling through the country may know whose farm they are passing.

DeVilbiss spent Sunday at Winona Lake, where his family have been for several days.

Bicyclists complain that some drivers show them no rights of the road. When these persons recollect that the supreme court has held a bicycle to be a vehicle they will appreciate the fact that they are treading upon dangerous ground. Bicyclists should also remember that “foot passengers" have rights that must be respected. Pedestrians are not obliged to get out of the way of vehicles. The law says the reverse is true.

“I W as Weak, Nervous and Run Down.” I want to testify tothe good Brown’s Cure has done me. I was weak, nervous and run down in vitality when I commenced taking it; it has done everything for me and I am now a new being. A number of my friends also speak with gratitude of the good your medicine has done them —it is indeed a grand remedy. Yours Gratefully, Mrs. L. V. Criig, 907 Mass. Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. Watt Thomas and Miss Laura Anderson, of Muncie, who have been devoted lovers for thirty years, surprised their friends by getting married a few days ago. In their early courtship, it was often predicted that they would marry but the wedding was staved off. In all these years, Thomas has called on Miss Anderson, regularly, every Sunday night and two or three time's during the week, taking her to church and entertainments. It is strange that some people who asv they never read patentmedicine advertisements will be found lugging home every now and then some favorite remedy of theirs.

One Minute Cough Cure cures cough and colds. Smith, Yager & Falk. ts The women of Syracuse, Kansas, have decided to wear trousers instead of skirts, bloomers, or other female covering for the pedal extremities, owing as they say, to the severe winds prevailing there. Such aciion would create quite a breeze in any town. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers expell from the system all poisonous acc (inflations, regulate the stomach, bowelsand liver, and purify theblood. They drive away disease, dissipate melancholy, and give health and vigor for the daily routine. Do not gripe or sicken. Smith, Yager & Falk, ts One of the latest movements in the insurance world is a plan to insure men against losing their jobs. For a stipulated fee at stated intervals jobs are insured. In case of forced idleness a small weekly indemnity is paid. But the company does not issue policies to politicians out of a job, such an undertaking would swamp any institution.

It removes at once the cause and the disease immediately disappears. The first dose greatly benefits. 75 cents. Sold by Smith & Yager, Druggists, Decatur. This man knows what he is talking about and is evidently not a tenderfoot in the newspaper business: “Send your items of news when they are fresh. We don't like to publish a birth after the child is weaned, a marriage after the honey-moon is over, a death after the widow is married again, nor the notice of an entertainment when the job work is done elsewhere and the editor is charged admission.” A great deal of expenditure of money and time may be saved if vou will only keep a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin in the house.

A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is that in which a sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the sleeper sleeps. Therefore while the sleeper sleeps in a sleeper the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper. Ex.

Holthouse, Callow & Co. j An old doctor, says the Medical Record, had been called to see a drunken man who had been run over by the cars, and npon answering a good many questions became angry and said: “I found the man in four different states the state of intoxication, the state of mutilation, the state of unconsciousness and the state of Ohio.” Gave up all hope. Louis Prickett, 509 Bryan Ave., Danville, HL, writes: I had suffered several years with asthma and after trying a great many remedies I had given up all hope.

But it soon became apparent that he had more wealth than he could possible give away in four hundred vears, working ten hours a day. “What shall I do?” he asked himself, in much alarm. But he was a resourceful man and it was not long till he hit upon the happy expedient of revealing all his belongings to the assessors. That being done, he was speedily reduced to poverty.

If you are stung by a bee do not try to pull out the stinger left in the but with the finger nail scrape it off at once. Attached to the stinger is the sack of poison, and in attempting to pull it out, the fluid is pressed into a wound causing a pain. The poison is a transparent liquid moredeadly than that of a rattlesnake, but it is not dangerous because so minute a quantity is ejected. While the sting is a dangerous poison, it is said to lie good for rheumatism, but the remedy is a heroic one and but few care to try it. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, andper- ■ scribed local remedies, and bv constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces' of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio. Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall’s Family Pills are the best. j
