Holthouse, Callow & Co. m It may surprise many to know that the Argentine Republic has 16,000 miles of railway in operation, and that its sleeping car service, as good as our’s, costs only 90 cents a passenger for a day of 24 hours. 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. Holthouse, Callow & Co. m Dancing is said to make a girls feet large; ice cream produces freckles; banging on the front gate brings on consumption; chewing gum distorts the mouth; playing on the piano destroys the beauty of the hands, while washing dishes causes the chaps to come and propose. Thomas Maple, Birkbeck, 111., writes: “I had a very bad case of kidney trouble and my back pained me so I could not straighten up. The doctor’s treatment did me no good. Saw Foley’s Kidney Cure advertised and took one bottle which cured me and I have not been affected since. I gladly recommend this remedy.” Holthouse, Callow & Co. m If you lose the risk you’re after — there are others; if you are dupped by liars rare, don’t succumb to full despair, and your undergarment tear — there are others. If your friends desert or mock you—there are others. If your best girl flirts and shocks you—there are others. You are not the only jay who’s been treated just that way; you can always gaily say “there are others.”

Geo. C. Hickock, Curtiss, Wis., savs: “Foley’s Kidney Cure has been tested and found to be all you claim for it. I have given it to my father and it is the only thing that ever helped him.” Holthouse, Callow & Co. m The Judge publishes “Reflections of a Spinster,” one paragraph of which reads thus: “If wives were obliged to publish accurate diaries for the young to read, the custom of marriage would soon die out.” Kokomo, Ind., April 4,1898. I can say without fear of successful contradiction that Dr. J. McLean’s Liver and Kindey Balm is the best medicine I have ever used for kidney and lives troubles.

For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. m A young clerk was somewhat knocked out by the question of a farmer who came into the store to buy a pair of hip pads for his daughter. Now it happened that this young clerk was particularly sweet on the daughter and was paying her marked attention, so bis feelings can hardly be expressed when the old gentleman in no quiet tones asked if he “thought those pads would fit, and if they were about the proper thing.” Another Dyapeptlc Pleased.

Had to get up several times during the night but three bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure effected a complete cure, he feels better than he ever did and recommends it to Lis friends. Holthouse, Callow <& Co. m A writer in a magazine has this to say regarding the game of golf: “Gawf is a grea game, but shiver me niblicks if I think it comes up to tiddledly-winks.” It is played with a couple of farms, a river or so, two or three sand hills, a number of implements resembling dentists’ tools, a strange language, much like Hindoostani, any old clothes and a large assortment of oaths. “I have been suffering from dyspepsia for the past twenty years and have been unable after trying all preparaI lions and physicians to get anv relief. After taking one bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure I found relief and am now in better health than I have been for twenty years. I cannot praise Kodol Dyspepsia Cure too highly.” Thus writes Mrs. C. W. Roberts, North Creek, Ark. Smith, Yager <& Falk. m The editor and wife, says an exchange, disagree very materially. She sets things to “write” and he writes things to set. She reads what others write and he writes what others read. She keeps the devil out of the house as much as possible and he retains him and could not go to press without him. She knows more things than he writes and he writes more things than she knows. A naughty exchange wants the law enforced that prohibits boys or girls under the age of 18 from receiving letters through the mail without the consent of parents or guardians. People are not in the habit of raising children nqw-a-days, who at the age of 18, are not capable of using their own discretion in these matters. Some are even able to dictate to their parents. When you find a business man making an effort to belittle his competitors you are safe in setting it down that he has reached the point of desperation and is willing to stoop to anything in a mad frenzy for business. This world is big enough for all, so ■ that there is no need to play the vulture and try to kill and devour those who are engaged in the same line of business. Life at best is not such a dream of pleasure that one can afford to scatter brambles in the pathway of another; sweet blossoms cost no more and accomplish something fi r good. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss. Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is ‘he senior partner of the firm of F. J.

You are much more liable to disease when your liver and bowels do not act properly. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers remove the cause of disease. Smith, Yager & Falk. m Try enamel porcelian paint when you are painting your lawn seats and porch chairs. Costs no more than other paints and gives bright glasslike effect. R. B. Gregory & Co. 8-4 Look not upon the cigarette when it turneth itself to ashes, for at last it biteth like a microbe and stinketh like a limburger cheese foundry. It maketh the soul of the skunk grow sick with envy, and moveth the undertaker to great joy. Miss Minnie Smith, Middlesboro, Ky., writes: “My little sister had the croup very bad. I gave her several doses of Honey and Tar and she was instantly relieved. It saved her life.” Holthouse, Callow & Co: m A Kansas weekly paper states in its local happenings: "Mrs. Jones called this morning and laid a dozen of eggs on our table. Many thanks.” There’s no telling what those Kansas women will be up to next. Skin affections will rapidly disappear by using DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Look out for counterfeits. If you get DeWitt’s you will get good results. most positive cure for piles. Smith, Yager Falk. m Cannibals on the Island of New Britain ate a German millionaire, who made the mistake of landing from his yacht. Emperor William has sent a German cruiser to avenge the murder. Will the German sailors eat the cannibals? The great scourge of modern times is consumption. Many cures and discoveried from time to time are published but Foley’s Honey and Tar does truthfully claim to cure all cases in the early stages and always affords comfort and relief in the very woest cases. Take no substitute. Holthouse, Callow & Co. m The mushroom season will soon be here; and a few words of advice and caution may not be out of place. Poisonous toad stools are often eaten for mushrooms with frequent fatal results. A sure way of distinguishing the difference is by eating them. If you die, they were toad-stools; if you live; they were not. A tramp stole a bottle of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. When he appeared in court he explained that he saw in the advertisement that it was “easy to take,” so he took it. “Discharged,, said the judge. “I will go and take some myself.” It is easy to take is a perfect laxative. Sold bv Smith, Yager & Falk. m Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to do something for others. There is always something that you can do to make others happier, and that is the surest way to happiness ’or yours elf. “Our little girl was unconscious from Strangulation during a sudden and terrible attack of croup, I quickly secured a bottle oi One MinuteCougn Cure, giving her three doses. The croup was mastered and our darling speedily recovered.” So writes A. L. Spaffotd, Chester, Mich. Smith, Yager & Falk. m W. J. Davisson, a jeweler of Farmland, is constructing an automobile in which he intends to travel to Buffalo. It will be propelled by steam, and the jewler is making every part of the machine. Davisson has built a dynamo and engine and lights his own store with electricity. It Saved His Leg. P. A.

After allow* it to stay on a short time take a soft clean cloth and polish the glass. You will be surprised at its brillancy and clearness. “I had a running sore on my breast for over a year,” says Henry It. 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 A Co. m Good Advice.—The most miserable beings in the world are those suffering from dyspepsia and liver complaint.
