This year’s production of corn in Kansas and Nebraska will break all previous records. These states will raise between them about 575,000,000 bushels, or more than 25 per cent, of the total yield of the country. How to prevent a cold. After exposure or when you feel a cold coming on take a dose of Foley's Honey and Tar. It never fails and will prevents pneumonia or consumption if taken in time. Holthouse, Callow A Co. n Indiana has 65,000 pensioners, who draw an average pension of a fraction over 8160 per annum. Indiana has 250 veterans drawing 882 a month, and 70 who are drawing 850 a month. Indiana takes the lead of all the pension states, receiving in pensions annually 810,543,000. Splendid success has been had in cases of colic, diarrhoea, etc., by using Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin. As a household remedy for such troubles it is invaluable.

It may be quickly cured by One Minute Cough Cure, the only remedy that produces immediate results in coughs, eolds, croup, bronchitis, pneumonia and throat ami lung troubles. It will prevent consumption. Smith Yager A Falk. if A Lima paper tells of an artilery soldier who was sentenced to be flogged, and in default of the regulation cat-o’-nine-tails, put in prison to await its arrival, the officer in charge being a Strickler for discipline. It was about a year before the requisitionai scourge was supplied by the authorities, and by that time the soldier had been dead several months. Such is the testimony of thousands concerning Brown’s Cure, a Perfect Family medicine, the best remedy known for the liver, kidneys and bowels, a positive cure for dyspepsia and all bowel troubles, sick headache, nervousness, constipation and loss of sleep.

Can you guess the reason? The Big Store. Table manners differ greatly with different nationalities. The Russians follow the old Arabian habit of preferring nature’s weapons to either knife or fork. In many seemingly hopeless cases consumption has been averted, in stopping a hacking cough by the use of Dr. Sawyer's Wild Cherry and Tar. Nachtrieb A Fuelling. a Lloyd Dalrymple is looking afer the baking department at Fristoe’s restaurant during the absence of Will Wertzberger, who is visiting friends in Michigan. Do you catch cold easily? Dr. Sawyer’s \\ ild Cherry and Tar will cure a cold in 24 hours. It relieves the irritation of the throat and head and prevents pneumonia. Nachtrieb A Fuelling. n A Florida man has just succeeded in hatching an ostrich egg in an incubator. This is the first successful effort of this kind in this country, though it has often been tried in California. It took forty-one days for the bird to come through. You never know what form of blood poison will follow 5 constipatin. Keep the liver clean by using DeWitt’s Little Early Risers and you will avoid trouble. They are famous little pills for constipation and liver and bowel troubles. Smith Yager A Falk, ts The elephant shooting of Ceylon is the best in the world and the easiest attainable. The reason all the Ceylon elephants have not been exterminated is that they have been carefully preserved by the government, which regulates the shooting according to the number of animals. For Hoarseness. Geo. A. Pontis. Upper Sankusky, O. writes: I have beeen using Foley’s Honey’ and Tar for Sore throat and hoarseness and find it is the best remedy I ever tried. It stoped the cough immediately and relieved all soreness. Holthouse, Callow A Co. n We now and then hear people talking in a subdued voice about “eyeopeners.” But if a young man is not exceedingly careful when he walks out with a young lady wearing a feather in her hat as long as an oldfashioned yard stick, he will get an eye-opener that will make him squall like a Comanche Indian. Don't risk your life. Many of your friends, or people whom you know of have contracted consumption, penumonia or other fatal disease by neglect of a simple cold or cough. Foley’s Honey and Tar, a safe sure and pleasant cough medicine, ’would have saved them. It is guaranteed. Holthouse, Callow A Co. n A Van Wert man’s wife wouldn't let him have a typewriter and he had to do his correspondence with pen and ink. The other day his wifecameinto his office, picked up a blotter, and read the following: "eno gnilrad nwo yM,” in his handwriting, but she could not read it because she had never practiced spelling and reading backwards. The Appetite ot a Goat. _ Is envied by the poor dyspeptic whose stomach and liver are out of order. All such should know that Dr. king s New Life Pills, the wonderful stomach and liver remedy, gives a splendid appetite, sound digestion and a regular bodilv habit that insures perfect health and great energy.

They are either lithographed or produced by some manifolding process. Japanese journalism at home, as well as abroad, follows American models in general. Dr. H. H. Haden, Summit, Ala., says. “I think Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a pleasant medicine. I prescribe it, and my confidence in it grow’s with continued use.” It digests what you eat and quickly cures dyspepsia and indigestion. Smith, Yager A Falk. ts Men exposed to the rigors ot the Alaskan winter never wear mustaches. They wear full beards to protect their throats and faces, but keep their upper lips clean shaven. The moisture from the breath congeals so quickly that a mustache becomes imbeded in a solid cake of ice, and the face is frozen in a short time. Given up by four doctors. Beaver Dam. O. My daughter, after being treated by four doctors and being given up for lost, a neighbor recommended Foley’s Kidney Cure. Today she is able to walk several miles without fatigue. I feel we would have lost her if it was not for your medicine Respectfully, Mrs. J. M. Baily. Holthouse, Callow 5 A Co. n A friend to the boys gives them this timely warning of the joys and the sorrows of the cigarette: It is a roll of paper, tobacco and drugs, with a small fire at one end and a large fool at the other. Some of its chief enjoyments are condensed nightmare, fits, cancer of the lips and stomach, spinal I meningitis, softening of the brain, j funeral processions and families | shrouded in gloom.

Nachtrieb & Fuelling. n But little more thn twenty-five years ago the site on-which Birmingham, Ala., was founded was practically an uncultivated plantation. Now Birmingham is one of the busiest and most prosperous cities in the country, and its population is increasing rapidly. Oh! I Say! have you given Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin a trial?

Holthouse, Callow A Co. guarantees every bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and will refund the money to any one who is not satisfied after using two-thirds of the contents. This is the best remedy in the world for lagrippe, coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough, and is pleasant and safe to take.

However, it is safe to prophesy that a like coincidence will occur when McKinley’s re-election to the presidency comes to be written—o, 0, ’OO. What a well known railroad man and resident of Lima thinksol Foley s Kidney Cure. I have been troubled a great deal with the backache. I was induced to try Foley’s Kidney Cure, and one bottle entirely relieved me. I gladly recommend it to any one especially my friends among the train men, who are very generally similarly afflicted. Geo. IL Hansan, Engineer on L. E. A W. R. R. Holthouse, Callow A Co. n In the evening before sun set, if it is clear, by the aid of a glass you can witness a wonderful sight in nature. It is called the grouping of planets. Five planets are almost in the same longitude or nearly on a line with each other in the west. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Uranus. They can be seen in all their sparkling beauty from this section by the aid of a good glass. Astronomers claim the massing of these bodies means a great display of electricity that may prove fatal to the earth. Greensburg, Pa., July 11. 1898.

It goes down to the very seat of all blood diseases, and gets at the foundation of the very worst cases, and routs the poison from the system. It does not, likeother remedies, dry up the poison and hide it from view temporarily, only to break forth again more violently than ever; 8. 8. 8 forces out every trace of taint, and rids the system of it forever.
