PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

The wind is cold, the sjky is wet, the rain’s continuous and moist; and many people sigh and fret who on the sunny days rejoiced. Some voters are so poorly built they view a dark day with affright; they think that all the beans are split if there shold be a cloud in sight. But I have made a gaudy fire, 1 hear it roaring up the flue; and here I sit and swat niy lyre, anu raise a happy howdydo. I look out at the liquid rain that hasn’t sense enough to quit, and see it washing down the pane, and do not throw a morbid fit. The rain will make the fields more fair, and that should cheer up dismal souls; and it will purify the air, and make the microbes hunt their holes, The rain will save the oats and ryes—that’s what the good old rain is for; and thus we see, if we* have eyes, that storms like this will win the war. How often, through a lack of rain, has this drouth stricken country groaned! So it is «sinful to complain because your -picnic is postponed. The country roads are dripj-ing wet, no motor cars along them purr; but it’s a wicked thing to fret because your joyride, won’t occur. - . , CATARRH CANNOT lIK CURED with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions, and in order to cure it you must take an internal remedy. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by One of the best physicians in this country for years. It is composed of some of the best tonics known, combined with some of the best blood purifiers. , The perfect combination of the ingredients in Hall’s Catarrh Medicine is what produces such wonderful results in catarrhal conditions.

A Philadelphia assayer recently took several handfuls of sand from a street excavation near Indepenaence hall and, after putting it through an assaying process, extracted a small quantity of gold. He declared that, in his opinion, there was enough gold under Philadelphia to make hunting for it worth while. Houses are so scarce in Bath, Maine, that Fred Knightly of Waterford, who is employed in Bath shipyards decided to move his house from, Waterford to Bath. It was taken down in sections and shipped to Bath where it is being reconstructed. Place your “Want Ad’’ in The Democrat and get results.
