Heart Strength Heart Strength, or Heart Weakness. means Nerve Strength, or Nerve Weakness—nothing more. Positively. not one weak heart in a hundred i*. in itself. actually diseased. It is almost always a hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault. This obscure nerve—the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve —simply heeds, and must have, more power, more stability, more controlling, more governing strength. Without that the Heart must continue' to fall, and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves. _ This clearly explains why, as a medicine. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative has in the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Bhoon first sought the cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocating heart distress. Dr. Shoop's Restorative—this popular prescription—is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds; IQtrengthens; it offers real, genuine heart help.

THE SUMMER ARGUMENT. A problem of wedlock. 1 That never la settled. That makes father mad. And that gets mother nettled; ■lt comes up each year " , At the summer resort; Who’ll clean the fish That father has caught! Mother says that she won’t. Father says that she should; It is clearly her task. And is so understood. “If I catch the fish, And I head 'em and tall ’em. It’s really your duty To dig in and scale ’em." To this mother says. In a positive way: •'When I clean your fish It will be a cold day. You have all the fun, When you angle and hook 'em. I’m doing enough If I’m willing to cook ’em.’’ - “You’re wrong," declares father. "You swore to obey. It was one of your vows On our glad wedding day.” “True,” replies mother. "I’ll bow to your wish When the minister says That I swore to clean fish.” Oh, endless the worry. And ceaseless the row! The summer Is here. They are arguing now. They want to decide— And the problem is great— Should ma clean the fish, If pa digs the bait? —Detroit Free Press.

Sure to Miss Him.

A man who runs a truck farm in Virginia tells of the sad predicament In which a colored man named Sam Moore, who is in his employ, recently found himself. Sam had had considerable difficulty tn evading the onslaughts of a dog from a neighboring farm. Finally the dog got him, as Sam kicked at him. Sam’s wife, hearing a tremendous yell, rushed to the rescue of ‘her husband. When she came up the dog had fastened his teeth in the calf of Sam’s leg and was bolding on for dear life. Seizing a stone in the road, Sam’s wife was about to hurl it when Sam. with wonderful presence of mind, shouted: "Mandy! Mandy! Don’t frow dat stone at de dawg! Frow it at me, Mandy!”—Youth’s Companion.

When you have a legal notice, such as notice of appointment as executor or administratror, final settlement of estate, nonresident notice, notice of ditch or highway petition, or any other legal notice that the clients themselves control, be sure to instruct your attorneys to have the publication made in the Democrt, otherwise they will take it to papers of their own political faith. Remember The Democrat is fighting your battles and using its best efforts to keep down taxation, and it is your duty to assist it, at least when it costs you nothing to do so, as our prices are usually much less for publishing legal notices than other papers, because they are set compactly, and are not “padded” out to make them as long as possible. Any favors shown us in this way will be greatly appreciated, and we want again to urge you to be sure to instruct your attorneys to have such publications made in The Jasper Countv Democrat.

MORTON’S HOMECOMING.

By Lester Comstock.

Copyrighted, 1907, by C. H. Sutcliffe.

The cabman regarded Morton with amazement as he gave his direction. “That hotel was torn down five years ago,” he said. “There’s a twelve story office building there now.” Morton named another hotel, only to be met with fresh disappointment, and with an impatient gesture he sank back in the cab. “I want to go to a good hotel,” he said. “You know better than I where I want to go.” The burly figure climbed on the box, and presently the cab was rattling up Broadway. Listlessly Morton looked out of the cab window and marked the changes. It was like a new land, with only here and there a familiar land-

THE VISION SEEMED SO REAL.

mark. Six years had wrought changes as great as those that had been effectedwithin his heart Six years before the world had seemed bright and pleasant Lucy Desmond had loved him, and his prospects had begun to materialize. Then had come the crash. Howard Desmond had sacrificed his daughter to save his fortune. Half a million wtis needed to support his tottering ventures. Metcalf would lend the money, but not until Lucy had become Mrs. Metcalf had the loan been made. Ten days later the vein had been struck in the mine which Morton owned, and he was a millionaire almost overnight For weeks he had railed against the fate that brought him fortune too late to give him the only thing worth while, the companionship of the woman he loved. , He had tried to meet her in their social encounters with the indifference that convention demanded, but there had come a night when the intoxication of the music, the heavy scent of flowers, had been upon them. It had been iu the conservatory at the Clivers’ dance, and for one mad moment he had held her in his arms, begging her to elope with him.

But even as he pleaded there had come tiie sense of right. He had gently released her and had fled the place. The dawn had found him still in his evening clothes pacing the floor of his apartment, and as the fresh morning air fanned bis flushed face be made his resolution. Before the end of the week he had disposed of all his American interests and had gone abroad. He left no kin behind, and none knew where be had gone. For six years he bad roamed three continents, but always off the path of the tourist. Then bad come the fierce longing for home, and he had come back. Now that he was here he was not certain that he did not regret his decision. All had changed. Everything reminded him that be had lost his place in the life of the city. The stopping of the carriage roused him, and he paid his driver and followed the bellboy into the hotel. He found the stillness of his room intolerable, and after vainly trying to interest himself In the papers he threw them aside and went for a walk. Perhaps in the busy throng he could shake off his memories. Unconsciously be turned his steps in the direction of the park and was well into the shady recesses before he realized where he was. Then he roused himself with a start. It had been Lucy’s favorite walk. It led to a little summer house just around t the cure in the path, the little summer house where they had spent such happy afternoons before Cupid had fled In utter'rout before the onslaughts of Mammon. It seemed perfectly natural that when he had turned the curve he should see her sitting there in the same place where she had sat that afternoon when she told him of- Metcalf’s ultimatum. He smiled at himself for his belief, but the vision seemed so real that he. kept on and presently sank Into the seat beside her. The girl raised her head and smiled. “Lijcy,” he said wonderingly as he took the flrm soft hand she offered. “Is it really you, dear? Of course I know it Isn’t, but you seem so You have come to me hundreds of times before, both waking and dreaming, but never so plainly, dear.” “But suppose that I am not a vision.

Jim?” she asked with smiling lips. "Suppose that it really should be I?” “Then I should have to go,” he said firmly. “I cannot trust myself with you.” “Then let us pretend that I am a vt slou,” she urged. "I really ought to scold you for keeping yourself hidden all these years.” “It was a coward’s retreat,” he admitted, "but I could not see you ths wife of that man.” “And so you left me alone in my misery,” she said reproachfully. Morton shook his head. “It was not that,” he said soberly. “It was that I cared too much for your fair name to stay on.” “I know,” she said tenderly; “but, Jim, you might have left some wood whereby we could have found you.” “To bring me back to misery?”

“To happiness,” she said. “You seem to have found misery where you went” She Ipoked at the face of the man. Every line was touched by the hand of sorrow. Six years before he had been a laughing faced boy. She could remember his every expression. Now his face had gained a seriousness that became it well. He had not sought forgetfulness in dissipation, and the girt was glad. "I suppose that I do show it,” he said, noting her glance. “But you, being only a vision, have not changed. Your eyes have gained a sweet seriousness, but otherwise It is the face that has been before me all these years. You have come to me in many lands, Lucy, but there seems a reality to the vision here that 1 have never known before. I wish that I might always hold you so, dear.” “Wedded to a vision?” she asked mockingly. “Would that content you?” “It had to content me all these years,” he said simply. "It is better so than that I should seek the reality to rob her of her fair name.” “And yet that night,” she whispered, “I was almost ready to say ’yes,’ Jim. Had you persevered I should have yielded.” “I knew it,” he agreed, “and for-that reason I went away so far that no word might reach me and tempt me back to your side. Since I left New York I have spoken to no one whom I used to know.' I did see Teddy Farrington In London once, but he did not see me, and I escaped him, but lately something seemed to call me back. I have been fighting it off for two years, but I grew hungry for of home, to hear the sound of your voice and to look upon your dear face again. I never dreamed that I should find you here; that we Should have our brief hour alone.” “And are you content with the hour?” “It is tetter so. Should I stay on it would all come back. I think I «hall return on the steamer Saturday. I—l am not as strong as I thought.” "May I go with yon?” she asked softly as her hand slipped into his. “Lucy!” The agony of his tones thrilled her. “You silly boy,” she whispered as the regal head bent toward him. “Don't you know that it was I who called you home? I could not find you eave with my spirit and my love, and I have not called you in vain.” "But your husband,” he stammered. “He died two years ago,” she said simply. “That was why I called you, dear. You answered to the voice of love.”

Funny Toothache Cures.

Before the days of dentists and when people generally believed in the value of charms there were ever so many mysterious ways of preventing toothache. One of these was to dress the right side of the body first—right stocking, right shoe, right sleeve, right glove. A favorite plan In Scotland was to draw a tooth, salt it well and bum it in full view on glowing coals. In Cornwall many save their teeth by biting the first young fems that appear. The custom of catching a common ground mole, cutting off the paws while the little creature still lives and wearing them is traced to Staffordshire, England. Some people who are fond of exercise believe that walking twelve miles—no more, no less—to get a splinter of the toothache tree will drive away the worst ache and pain that ever tortured a poor tooth. The belief that toothache is caused by a worm at the roots is prevalent In many parts of the world; hence this cure: Reduce several different kinds of herbs—the greater variety the better—to a powder. Put a glowing cinder into this powder and inhale the incense. Afterward breathe into a cup of water and the worm will be gone forever.

Not His Province.

The New r England ministers of early days were expected to preserve an aspect grave to the verge of solemnity on all occasions, not only on Sundays, but week days as well. If they possessed a sense of humor It sometimes made itself evident even In the midst of devotional exercises. One New Hampshire parish was guarded and guided by a quaint speaking elderly man who had a slight lisp. He was fond of outdoor work of almost every sort and was an able farmer as well as preacher, but all domestic matters he relegated to his wife. One day the old traveling baker, seeing the minister at work in the field, drew rein, and when the jingling of his horse’s bells had subsided he called •cut, “Any crackers wanted today, parson?” The minister raised his head and surveyed the baker from under his shaggy eyebrows. No smile of greeting crossed his solemn face. “Abraham in the field,” be responded gravely. “Tharah (Sarah) In the tent,” ahd wlthouV/another word he resumed his hoeing and left the baker to digest his Biblical reproof and drive on to the house to find out if “Sarah” would buy uny of his wares.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Dipping Sheep In the Fell. A large number of owners believe in dipping sheep twice during the year, and, as a rule, where this Is the case one of the operations is carried out in the fall, says the Indiana Farmer. There are several reasons to be urged in favor of fall dipping, whether the flocks have teen dressed earlier In the year or not. In the case of established breeding flocks the operation Is desirable in order that the animals may be purged of all Insects or germs of disease, and thus have seasonable comfort and Immunity from attack Insured to them throughout the winter. If thoroughly cleaned before the winter, flocks seldom develop any ailment or suffer from any of their troublesome Insect enemies during the cold months of the year, and therefore, farmers have a strong Incentive to dip at this Juncture. It may be that the animals are, to all appearance, comparatively free from Insects or parasites, yet there are generally present some remnants of summer attacks, and unless these are effectually checked and destroyed they may lead to considerable annoyance to the flocks and expense to their owners at a time of the year when, for various reasons, they are less amenable to effectual treatment.

Value of Skim Milk. There is hardly a dairy farm now, no matter how small, that is without a hand cream separator. This machine has saved millions of dollars over the old method of pan skimming, which left a great deal of cream in the skim milk. The record for a cream separator for a number of consecutive runs Is less than one one-hundredth of 1 per cent of cream left in the skim milk. The modern cream separator is built on the principle of centrifugal motion, the milk being placed in a bowl which revolves several thousand times a minute, so that the skim milk, being heavier than the cream, flies to the outside, leaving the cream In the center. The modem dairyman feeds his fresh, warm skim milk to his calves and pigs, which thrive on this kind of food as well as on the whole milk. Letting the young calves run around with the cows and get all the milk is a thing of the past among progressive dairymen. Skim milk, if it is utilized to the test advantage and turned into calves and hogs. Is one of the most profitable products of the dairy farm. Skim milk Is also fed to chickens to good advantage.—Da vld Brown In Spokane Spokesman-Review.

Notes About Silage. All the great dairy states have numerous silos. Silage is more economically harvested, stored and fed than any other roughage. In ISBB the department of agriculture could find only nine farmers in the country who used silos. Silaged fed cows winter better, give more milk and do better when put on pasture than others. If the silage molds and decays on the top, do not begin to worry. This seals up the rest and keeps all that is under it in prime condition. Pack the silage well at the sides. The middle will settle of its own weight, but the contact with the sides of the silo keeps it from settling around the outer edge. Nail Wounds In Horses’ Feet. A rusty nail In the foot of a horse Is a mighty bad thing. Before the spring cleanup there are always many pieces of boards lying around with nails sticking up. A puncture from one of these rusty nails makes a bad braise and needs prompt attention. The thing to do In cases of this kind is to clean the hole thoroughly and swab It out with a 25 per cent solution of carbolic acid. Then use cotton saturated with spirits of turpentine to fill up the hole. Give the matter prompt attention, and don’t wait two or three days until inflammation sets in and pus accumulates. Bowel Complaint In Chicks. Here is a remedy for bowel complaint in young chickens that has not been known to fail if used in the very beginning of the trouble, with clean, warm, dry shelter and good wholesome food. Boil fresh milk and after it is cool give to the chicks to drink. Do not allow them any other drink until there are no more symptoms of trouble. Be sure that the milk is boiled, not just heated, as milk that is not boiled will prove laxative to the young birds.— Practical Fanner. Maintain Soil Fertility. Though there is yet much to learn in farming, it none the less has been ascertained for certain what are the main steps necessary to build up and maintain soil fertility. No soil is inexhaustible. Even the strong lands of the western prairies have been cropped with grain and abused by improper methods of tillage until they show signs of approaching exhaustion. The Asparagus Bed. If you have no asparagus bed in the garden, it would be a good thing to plant one in the fall. It is not only a delightful vegetable for home use, but can always be sold In unlimited quantities. No one has ever seen a market glutted with asparagus, and nothing Is easier to raise. When it gets a start, it is such a vigorous grower that nothing can choke it out. Will Know Later.

ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. In no business does experience count formore to both the dealer and the customer than in the implement business. Experience enables the dealer to know the valtie of goods. He can see at a glance whether they are artistic and will please a discriminating customer; in a word, whether they will satisfy buyers by giving first-class service. The same experience enables him to BUY RIGHT. Thep he can SELL RIGHT. It is his larger experience, coupled with bis thorough knowledge of the business, that has made C. A. Roberts, the Front street buggy man, so deservedly popular with the discriminating buyers of sightly vehicles. He served his time in a carriage shop way back in the 60s, when an apprentice had to know his business before be could begin work for himself. He put in seventeen years of his life building and repairing wagons and carriages, and can make every piece in them. He began to sell implements in 1882, and every customer gets the benefit of this long experience every time he shows an article. That is worth something, isij’t it? He sells Studebaker and Page Bros’. Carriages and Buggies, and there are no better, and he has some other makes and styles. Studebaker Wagons, he claims, there are none so good.
