The Charming Woman

is not necessarily one of perfect form and features. Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the world admires; neatness, clear eyes, clean smooth skin and that sprightliness of step and action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman is never attractive, not even to herself. Electric Bitters restore weak women, give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, beautiful complexion. Guaranteed at A. F. Long's, druggist. 50c.

The postofifice department requires another examination for carrier on rural route out of Tefft. The petition circulated asking that Miss Annie Behles be appointed was not honored, and an examination is the result. We have read of the prophecy, “The revelation that is to come." Rather a give-away on the correspondent who claims he alone is responsible: Let him gather his satellites and consolidate; we will try and remind them that we are alive, although we have said we were through with this controversy. Yet we reserve the right to kick a dog if we find him in our way, that keeps snapping at our heels.

MIX THIS AT HOME.

The following simple homemade mixture is said to readily relieve and overcome any form of rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter from the blood and system all the uric acid and poisonous waste matter, relieving at once such symptoms as backache, weak kidneys and bladder and blood diseases.

Try it, as it doesn’t cost much, to make, and is said to be absolutely harmless to the stomach. Get the following harmless ingredients from any good pharmacy: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and again at bedtime.. This simple mixture is said to give prompt relief, and thdre are very few cases of Rheumatism and Kidney troubles it will fail to cure permanently. These are all harmless, everyday drugs, and your druggist should keep them in the prescription department; if not, have him order them from the wholesale drug houses for you. rather than fail to use this, if you are afflicted.

SCARED THAT WAY BEFORE Evansville Apprehensive That She Will Be Left Out in the Country by the Ohio. Evansville, Ind., Jan. 17.—The Ohio river has risen to the stage of forty feet, and the river has eut a channel across the big horseshoe bend between here and Henderson, and is flawing through there now at a tremendous rate, leaving the water in the harbor here as quiet as a lake. The city confronts the serious danger of being left five miles from the Ohio river. The city's fate as a future harbor depends on how long the river stays up. If higher water comes In such volume as to increase the flow across the point in the new channel then Evansville may be left high and dry sitting on the old river bed. The place where the current starts across toward Henderson, Ky., is above Evansville, the river between that place and Henderson bending in the form of a “U” with Evansville In the upper part of the bend. The scare about the river cutting a new channel Is a semi-oc-casional one —happens every few years when the river Is high.

Weak Kidneys Weak Kidneys, surely point to weak kidney Nerves. The Kidneys, like the;Heart, and the Stomach, find their weakness, not in the organ itself, but in the nerves that control and guide and strengthen them.

To Hold ■ Gate Open. The illustration shows a very handy method which I Invented to bold a swing gate open any width. Most gates are bung so they swing upward a little in opening, to clear snow, grass, etc. They swing shut of their Nwfffi own accord; hence someI thing to bold J the gate open at f any place while • driving through { or letting out 1 stock Is a ne- • cesslty. To meet this ’ need I devised J the brace shown yy herewith. It is yy simply a piece yy of wood 1 by 2 yy Inches and a lltyy tie longer than yy half the height of the gate. One , end Is fastened ■nLIHL ju- J—by a B plke passlIOI.DINO THE GATE pd through it opkw. and driven Into the edge of the vertical board at the end of the gate, or It may be put on with a hinge. The dotted lines show' 1 ' Its position when not In use, It being swung upward and snapped beneath a spring nailed to the top of the gate, says a writer in American Agricultur Ist The Oyster. When a fortnight old the oyster Is not much larger than the head of a pin. At the end of four years’ growth it is fit for the market Oysters live* to the age of from twelve to fifteen years.
