Belief Came at Last Father Had Given Up Hope of Curing Son’s Cough Mr. A. F. Sherer, owner of a machine shop, Haviland, Ohio, says. My son had a cough for several years. We began to think his case a hopeless one. He could get no relief until he ’ used Glando Hne. Three bottles cured him.” v A neglected cough has undoubtedly caused more deaths than any other agency. A lingering cough should be promptly treated. If allowed to continue the tissues of the lungs will be weakened and the power to resist epidemics of cold and grip is lessened. By getting three ounces of- Glando Pine you can make one pint of excellent cough syrup. Keep it on hands and use it freely. Stop that cough before it has too firm a grip upon you. Dqn*t b 6 careless and make a mistake that may cost you your life. If you can not get Glando Pine of your druggist send 50 cents to The Gland-Aid Co., Fort Wayne, Indiana, and it will be sent you. ■ It is easy to prepare, costs but little, and is pleasant to take. It is splenI did for coughs, colds, bronchial affections, and highly recommended for croup. It wuL relieve the spasmodic coughing in whooping cough. Glando Pine contains the pure form of white pipe to which other valuable ingredients have been added. Directions foe preparing accompany each bottle. ■ 0— rEverything electrical. Phone 113.

FAMOUS OLD ENGLISH FORT

Porcheeter Castle, Obsolete Now, Must Have Been Place of Great Strength in Its Day. Far away, behind all that the majority of people know of Portsmouth (Eng.) harbor — the outer basin with the ships of all kinds and descriptions coming and going in it, from the great battle cruisers to the steamers plying to and from from the isle of Wight—far from all the bustle of the harbor side, at the extreme end of a great stretch of tidal water, backed by the long, low line of the downs, stands Porchester castle. Roman as its name denotes, Porchester Is said to have been one of the nine fortresses built by the Romans to defend the British coasts against marauding pirates from across the North sea. However this may happen to be, the walls which face the huge expanse of mud flats at low tide and water at high tides are really the work of Roman builders, which is a great deal more than can be said for -many of the socalled “Roman walls” in other places. Wonderful walls they are, too —Roman builders never did things by halves — fully ten feet thick and built of flint and concrete with courses of limestone slabs. The strength of the place before artillery came into use, or against an enemy unprovided with it, must have been enormous, and its situation must -have made it almost impregnable. The Normans recognized its value and Henry I added the great keep and many of the other buildings.

LINK WITH PREHISTORIC DAYS

Hoatzin Birds, Found in Guiana, Have Long Been a Subject of Study by Scientists. Running on all fours; climbing with fingers and toes like monkeys; diving and swimming as skillfully as if they were denizens of the ocean, the baby Hoatzin birds, found in Guiana, perpetuate the prehistoric days when reptiles were the dominant beings. It can neither sing nor fly gracefully and its very presence is betrayed by its strong odor, but it is none the less of great Importance in the bird world because of its strange prehistoric attributes. The nests of the old birds are always built out over the water, frequently some 15 feet above the surface, and the young birds, with their wings turned back, not folded as is usual but up like a diver’s hands, will dive cleanly from the nest into the water and swim like a fish. When they wish to return to the nest they climb on shore and walking on their feet and handlike ends of their wings will creep back to the tree and then climb like a monkey, using what is virtually the thumb and first fingers of their strange wings. They have a long neck and head far more reptilian than birdlike, and despite their lack of beauty many scientific expeditions have been sent to Guiana to photograph and study these birds, who represent all the ages of history from reptile to modern life.

Thrill of Doing Things.

Life is made op of trials and satisfactions. The one is to keep up your muscle, and the other is to keep up your morale. The one sets tasks that try the fibers of your nature; the other bestows the mental laurel that marks consciously won victory. The whole process begets thrills that enhances ideas of achievement. The • very idea of doing seems to carry with it the sense of worth and fitness. Instead of feeling yourself driven by the stress of compulsion you feel like an explorer in new regions. Eagh thing done adds to the joy of doing as it brings facility and smoothness ’of operation. The sum of things attempted and finished tells a story of joy known only to the fellow who has felt the thrill of doing things. The biggest challenge ta the healthy man is the chance to do.

England’s Big Mistake.

On the Bth of March in 1765 the house of lords in England passed the stamp act, which led to the famous Boston teg party, the first militant act of the Revolution. The English- treasury had been drained by the Seven Years’ war and the country needed money. The people of England were already taxed to the limit and King George and the English parliament decided that the most expedient way to raise money was to tax ‘the American colonists and to establish the principle that the colonists must pay taxes to the crown even though they were not allowed representation in the English parliament

Mammoth and Man.

The first mammoth remains dug up in Europe were supposed to be those of gigantic men. In 1577 a learned professor at Lucerne, from a pelvis and one thigh bone, “reconstructed” a man 19 feet high. Nor was the mistake without excuse, Inasmuch as the-bones pf the mammoth wre remarkably homan like. The vertebrae look like magnified copies of human spine sections. and the same is true of the shoulder blade, the pelvis, the femur, etc. * -

Association of Ideas.
