IT WILL PAY W To Read the Following from an Eminent Clergyman. , Buffafo, N. Y., May 15, 1902.<It is now about ten years sinag the Keeley Institute first came un'der my observation. From that time until now I have known many persons who were cured of the drink habit by the Keeley Treatment; consequently, I am thoroughly convinced of its efficacy. The Keeley Cure has now become so firmly established an institution, that thinking people no longer question its great power for good. Where the prayers of Borrowing parents, of heartbroken wives and neglected children have been of no avail to cheek the drunkard in his downward path, the Keeley Cure has brought about the happy result, and again ; made him a .happy member of a happy family, and a useful and respected member of society. May the good work inaugurated by Doctor Keeley continue to prosper until theterrible curse of drunkenness shall have been banished from the face of the J . ■' R.C. Rector Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. * Dr. W. V. Daniels, manager of the Marion, Ind., Keeley Institute will be glad to answer all communications regarding the treatment, terms, etc. treated confidential.

It>ashould now be ? generally known that Jail colds are. caused by “cold producing microbes,” which are abundant in the air at ..qJI times, both winter and summer. The continuous out-door life in the summer time, which insures an abundance ,of air for the thorough oxidation of the blood and other tissues is the cause of a higher resistance by the breathing apparatus, and this higher resistance fights off the cold causing microbes. Benjamin Franklin, a prince of close observe™, said: “I have repeatedly noticed that whenever I have a cold I have either overeaten, or been in contact with numbers of .people in a confined space.” He knew nothing of disease gejms, but he: was accurate in his observations in regard to the “Inducing causes." A child that had been for. half the winter subject 1 to colds, and had been compelled tq remain home'from school more or , Ipss every week, was suddenly placed in the hands of a wise grandmother. The. little one' had been accustomed to eating a heavy meal three times 'i day, with doughnuts, candy and for lunches between meals? at her own discretion. The grandmother made breakfast and supper onOu meal baked potatoes and steak or other easily digested meat in the middle tof the day; and sweets entirely except for . desserts after meals. If the child was Irangry between meajte she was allowed to have an ajJple, with a glass of water afterwards. In addition to. this, the child’s bedroom was thoroughly ventilated and tha- tongs treated Jwith an of ¥ure'’£in disappeared as if by magic.

Don't abuse the stomach with cihigs for colds, and at the'same th»e continue the conditions which cause them. .Colds follow violation jMythe laws of health. To avoid them; give the lungs plenty of air, eapl'faXtop? ally, keep the skin clean and avoid constipation. If, upon entering;a~rdom, a street car, or any enclosed spacer an odor is detected in the air, thfen be sure that the air is polluted and unfit for breathing, just as tainted meat in unfit for eating.—Dr. J. N. Hurty, Secretary of State Board of Health. To stop a cold with Preventics is safer than to let run and cure it afterwards. Taken at the sneeze stage Preventics will head off all colds and grip, and perhaps, save you from pneumonia or bronchitis. Preventics are little toothsome candy cold cure ' tablets selling in 5 cent and 25 cent boxes. If you chilly, if you begin to sneeze, try Preventics. They will surely check the cold and please the cold. Sold by W. H. NACHTRIEB. O'" PENNSYLVANIA ISSUES RULES ‘ —— ■ 1 ' And faltl Impose a Fine bn the Violat- .. prs of the Same.

In rendering his decision in the Blauser case Saturday, Judge Erwin took occasion to make a little discussion of what he considered the duties of the husband. He declared that in no instance was a man who had sworn at the marriage altar to love, honor and protect a woman, justified in laying vjolent hands upon her. He stated that, the evidence had shown that Blauser had acted with extreme bru-; tality toward his wife in many in-, stances ‘’and the judge declared that' had Blauser been before him on a charge* of assault and battery, he would have given him the limit of the law. ; In speaking of the property settlement, the judge declared that the evidence showed that Blauser, qn<j his wife had worked equally hard in atpassing’ their property and in his finding he, gave the woman a, little J over-one-third of the property. It is"l understood the defendant was well satisfied with the amount he had to pay but that he would have liked to have had the custody of the youngest daughter as well as the boy. No further litigation will result from the case, it .ds claimed. Blauser has signified his intention of selling out and looking elsewhere for a location—Bluffton Banner. . r . —— , o—— — - HE WAS IN TROUBLE. “Ii was in trouble, but found away out of it, and I’m a happy man again, since Dr. King’s, New Life Pills cured me of chronic constipation;’fusays E.
