There are plenty ot people who have become depressed and discouraged, because that dry, hacking cough hangs to them continually. They have takeh much medicine, mostly ot the advertised quack sort, nothing like Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast Tea, the discovery of a then noted German physician 60 years aga We do not say that this will cure a case where the lungs are badly diseased, for it will not, and up to this date there is nothing that will cure under these conditions; but on the other hand, if the lungs are not hard hit, the patient should take Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast Tea, a cup full every night on going to bed, have it hot, drink slowly, then every other night rub the throat and top portion of the lungs with St Jacobs Oil, cover with oil silk, let it remain an hour, then remove. Elat good, plain, nourishing food, live in the open air as much as possible. By all means sleep as near out of doors as possible, that is, windows wide open, except in the very severe weather. Take a cold sponge bath every morning; then immediately rub the body vigorously with a coarse towel. Take Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Drops every other day according to directions. One can buy the three remedies for $1.25 of any reliable druggist. Begin the treatment at once and see how much better you will be almost within a week’s time.

Record to Be Proud Of.

The record of Alderman Gilbert Finch, who has Just been elected first magistrate of Tunbridge Wells, England, is one of which he may justly be proud. He began life at the age of 7 as a plowboy, nine years afterward he became a gardener’s assistant, and then a domestic servant. Gradually working his way up, he afterward started business on his own account, and so Mr. Finch steadily forged ahead until to-day he holds his present proud position.

An amendment offered by Mr. Foraker was agreed to striking out as much of section 24 of the bill as relates to drills, inspections and instruction of men enrolled in the reserve force. Mr. Morgan (Ala.) asked that his bill fixing the salaries of the isthmian canal commission at $5,000 a year be referred to the committee on interoceanic canals.

Mr. Allison of the senate conferees on the coal strike arbitration bill presented the report of the conference committee. He explained that the senate amendment fixing a definite sum for the expenses and compensation of the commissioners and employes and taking the question of fixing these out of the hands of the President had been retained, but that the senate conferees had yielded to the house to the extent of allowing sls a day to the commissioners for expenses instead of $lO, as fixed by the senate. The report was agreed to.

THE CARRIAGE OF WOMEN

Good Advice Given the Fair Sex by an Exchange. I The women who carries herself well is more apt to command respect than the woman who trudges- along with , her head inclined forward and her j shoulders in a stooping position. The I possessor of a graceful, erect carriage j unconsciously impresses us as having } characteristic worth. J There are many noble hearted women who really do themselves injustice by the awkward way they carry themselves. It Is very hard for others to see beauty and grace of heart in an unlovely outward appearance. It is the exterior of the rose that gives fitting expression to its hidden sweetness. Although there are many beautiful women with worthless hearts, still that fact does not weaken the other fact that spiritual nobleness and a fair body are a consistent, harmonious association. Everything that appertains to the elevation of the soul affects for the better the aspect of the body, beautifying and refining it. Just as rare jewels need fitting caskets to rest in, so it is only meet that lovely souls should be inclosed in bodies that are beautiful and fair.—Pittsburg Observer.

A Problem Solved.

The cure is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Hundreds of people will tell you this of their own experience. Take J. B. Cunningham for example. He had Kidney Trouble of long standing.' He sought relief in vain. He had tried Doctors and Medicines of different kinds. Finally he tried Dodd’s Kidney Pills and he stopped right there. No one who tries Dodd s Kidney Pills for Kidney Complaint ever needs to look any further. Here is what Mr. Cunningham soys: "Dodd’s Kidney Pills are all right for Kidney Trouble. I have used them and know for they have done me more good than anything I ever used.”

Odd Tavern Signs.

It Is probable that not England, but Germany holds the record for out-of-the way tavern signs and fantastic Inn names. The most absurd results are usually obtained by the name of some animal joined with a more or less unsuitable object. The "Comfortable Chicken,” and the “Cold Frog,” both of them in Berlin, are -certainly left In the shade by the “Angry Ant,” (Ort, In Westphalia,) which sells splendid beer, and the “Stiff Dog” (Berlin.)

W U. S. MINISTER TO ENGLAND Commends Peruna to All Catarrh Sufferers. Hon. Louis E. Johnson is the son of the late Reverdy Johnson who was United States Senator from Maryland, also Attorney General under President Johnson, and United States Minister to England, and who was regarded as the greatest constitutional lawyer that ever lived. In a recent letter from 1006 F. Street, N. W., Mr. Johnson says : ••No one should longer suffer from catarrh when Peruna la accessible. To my knowledge it has caused relief to so many of my friends and acquaintances, that It Is humanity to commend Its use to all persons suffering with this distressing disorder of the human system. ’’—Louis E. Johnson.

Catarrh Poisons. Catarrh is capable of changing all the life-giving secretions of the body into scalding fluids, which destroy and inflame every part they come in contact with. Applications to the places affected by catarrh can do little good save to soothe or quiet disagreeable symptoms. Hence it is that gargles, sprays, atomizers and inhalants only serve as temporary relief. So long as the irritating secretions of catarrh continue to be formed so long will the membranes continue to be inflamed, no matter what treatment is used. There is but one remedy that has the desirable effect, and that remedy is
