Holthouse Drug Co. d Self-preservation is the first law of i nature, and when you get full value for your money, it is a safe investment.

At Hensley’s. W hen Mrs. Duhlbrane read that an “old shoe firm in Cleveland had failed,” she said it is just what might be expected. The firm should have known better than to engage in the manufacture of old shoes. One hundred and twenty-six girls in a factory not far away “walked out” on a strike. That is what all strikers do. Some day there will be a strike leader with a touch of originality who may persuade his strikers to crawl out or to fly out, At least, they might run out.

Address, The Prairie Farmer, 150 .Adams street, Chicago. 35-5 A young lady was going twisting along a street in San Francisco the other day to all appearance like she had a flea on her. A newsboy with a bundle of papers ran up and exclaimed: “Examiner? Examiner!” The young woman replied: “No, not till I get home.” A costly mistake. Blunders are sometimes very expensive. Occasionally life itself is the price of a mistake, but you’ll never be wrong if you take Dr. King’s New Life Pills for dyspepsia, dizziness, headache, liver or bowel troubles. They are gentle, 1 yet thorough. 25c at Blackburn & 1 Christen’s drug store. d

The return of bottles and cases is desired at once by William Mersman. This is the third request and should be heeded. For Sale -Thoroughbred Poland China and English Berkshire swine, of large strains—either sex. Bar gains if taken soon. E. S. Christen, Monmouth, Ind. ts “I hear strange sounds in my ears, doctor,” said the lady patient, languidly. “Well, where else would you expect to hear ’em?” questioned the tired physician. Havo you backache? Do you feel tired? Is your tongue coated? These are premonitions of liver and kidney troubles, and can be promptly checked by taking Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. d A man that won’t patronize hie home paper is a detriment to his community. A town without a live, up to-date newspaper is like a ship without a rudder, and every live, up-to-date citizen owes it his support — the paper. Better than a plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bound on the affected parts, is better than a plaster for a lame back and for pains in the side or chest. Pain Balm has no superior as a liniment for the relief of deep-seat-ed, muscular and rheumatic pains. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. d Postmaster-General Henry C. Payne in his annual report just made public, strongly favors an extension of the rural free delivery services. The report shows that there was an excess of expenditures over receipts in the department, during the last fiscal year, amounting to 82,937,649. The deficit for the present year is estimatat 85,602,227. Coughs, colds and constipation. Few people realize when taking cough medicines other than Foley’s Honey and Tar, that they contain opiates which are constipating besides beidg unsafe, particularly for children. Foley’s Honey and Tar contains no opiates, is safe and sure and and will not constipate. Holthouse Drug Co. d Notice to Wheelmen. We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to refund the money on a 25 cent bottle of Henry & Johnson’s Arnica and Oil Liniment, if it fails to cure bumps, bruises, scratches, chafes, cuts strains, blisters, sore musles, sunburn chapped hands or face, pimples, freckles, or any other ailments requiring an external application. Lady riders are especially pleased with Arnica and Oil Liniment, it is so clean and nice to use. Twenty-five cents a bottle; one three times as large for 50cents. Page Blackburn. ts

A glass or two of water taken half an hour before breakfast will usually keep the bowels regular. Harsh cathartics should be avoided. When a purgative is needed, take Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets. They are mild and gentle in their action. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. d A certain young man who detected apiece of bark in his sausage went to the butcher’s shop to know what had become of the rest of the dog. The butcher is reported to have been so affected that he could only give him part of the tale. A frightened horse, running like mad down the street dumping the occupants, or a hundred other accidents are every day occurrences. It behooves everybody to have a reliable salve handy, and there’s none as good as Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. Burns, cuts, sores, eczema and piles, disappear quickly under its soothing es feet. 25c, at Blackburn & Christen’s drug store. d A maiden fair, with sun-kissed hair, came tripping down the street; her face serene, her age 16—gee whiz; but she was sweet. On the sidewalk slick she came down quick, with a jolt that shook her curls, but the words she used, must be excused — for she’s one of the nicest girls. Boy’s life saved from membranous croup. C. W. Lynch, a prominent citizen’of Winchester, Ind., writes: “My little boy had a severe attack of membranous croup, and only got relief after taking Foley’s Honey and Tar. He got relief after one dose and I feel that it saved the life of my boy.” Refuse substitutes. Holthouse Drug Co. d A traveling man stopped at a village hotel. At dinner time he was standing outside when the proprietor came out to ring the dinner bell. A small dog near by began to howl dismally. Turning to tne dog the travel ing man said: “What in the thunder are you howling about? You don’t have to eat here.” This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It is certsin to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system. In almost every instance a severe cold may lie warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to children for it contains no harmful substance. It is pleasant to take -both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures.
