The buds are not yet open, and fruit growers say it takes a fairly hard frost to hurt them while they are closed. The greatest skin specialist in America originated the formula of Banner Salve. For all skin diseases, all cuts and sores, and for piles, it’s the most healing medicine. Beware of substitutes.

Harruff & Lenhart, Decatur. 5-4 Granting it to be true, the German press displays poor judgement in calling h rance “the most restless, most conceited, most ambitious and most foolhardy nation. Miss Minnie Smith, Middlesboro, Ky., writes: “My little sister had the croup very bad, 1 gave her several doses of Honey and Tar and she was instantly relieved. It saved her life.” Holthouse, Callow & Co: m If the present rate of progress is kept up the old-time thick-and-thin, right-or-wrong partisan organ will be unknown in the newspaper field before the new century has reached its half-way house.

Smith, Yager & Falk. m The question of a man’s salary regulating his honesty, which is being discussed in numerous places, is little short of an insult to honest men.

Schirmeyer, Decatur, Ind. 9tf Marconi stands in with Tesla as to the possibility of communicating with “other worlds than ours." In an interview in London he said he did not consider communication with Mars impossible, provided the planet is inhabited. The matter of distance could be overcome. “I had a running sore on my breast for over a year,” says Henry R. Richards of Wilseyville, N. Y., “and tried a great many remedies but got no relief until I began the use of Banner Salve. After using one-half box I was perfectly cured. I cannot recommend it too highly." Holthouse, Callow & Co. m Somebody is now trying to discourage mankind by declaring that the people of Mars are too ignorant to understand us even if we do signal to them. But this should not serve to hold the world back. Perhaps we can have fun educating the people of Mars after we are through with the Chinese. After the new state laws are published every hunter will be liable to arrest who is found hunting upon the lands of any person unless he has procured a written permission of the owner to do so.
