CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind Yon Have Always Bought

Get the Most Out of Your Food You don’t and can’t if your stomach is weak. A weak stomach does not digest all that is ordinarily taken into it. It gets tired easily, and what it fails to digest is wasted. Among the signs of a weak stomach are uneasiness after eating, fits of nervous headache, aud disagreeable belching. “I have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla at different times lor stomach troubles, and a run down condition ot the system, and have been greatly benefited by Its use. I would not be without it in my family. I am troubled especially In summer with weak stomach and nausea and find Hood’s Sarsaparilla invaluable.” E. B. Hickman, W.Chester, Pa.

Uncle James McEwen’s paper reached us Tuesday, bearing the date of Jan. 18, 1901. Come, old man, brace up. If you keep on that way you will lose a whole year in your reckonin’ in the course of the next five years. Let the “Mongrel” go and fix that date line.—Morocco Courier.

The Rensselaer High School re cently wanted the Hammond High School to participate in an oratorical contest but the Lyceum decided not to accept the invitation on account of the distance between the two places The Hammond High School should not let distance worry it, because other high schools go farther to enter athletic contests and why not oratorical? Hammond would be proud to help its young orators to enter in- i to a contest of this nature at Rensse- | laer.—Hammond News. Again the heating apparatus at the school houses failed to stand the test of the severe weather this week and a number of rooms had to be dismissed. It is probable that this trouble would not have occurred if the contractors had followed the specifications when installing the system. We understand the contractors have not yet been paid in full and they should receive no more pay until they have fulfilled their contract by making the system work satisfactory, as required in the contract. Dr. Kay’s Lung Balm for bronchitis.

A Theme For Bunner.

Mrs. Sidney Lanier, now a resi* dent of Greenwich, Conn., was making a tour of secondhand shops lately in search of an old volume not now to be had from the trade proper. On lower Sixth avenue she met a well known illustrator in what proved to be a favorite haunt of his. “Yes,” he said, “I love this place; it seems almost like the old store; Bunner and I used to go there often, and, do you know, it was seated on this very stepladder”—laying his hand affectionately on the well worn treads—“that he wrote those verses, ‘Oh, for you that I never knew’— you remember? It was only a little while before his death that we talked over a story he wanted me to illustrate, in which the plot was to turn on the sale and subsequent separation of an old library ana the final reunion of this leather backed family in a ‘secondhand’ shop like this. The- love story of a bibliomaniac ran through it, as well aS that of two little brown covered volumes that had always stood side by side on the shelf. And he was just the one who could write such a story poor Bunner!” New York Times.
