It Doesn’t Scare Folks to be told the truth about Lion Coffee The scare-crow coffees are those that hide under a glazing of factory eggs, glue and such stuff.

All Stuffed Up That’S the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clearing the head and throat. No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges tbe> stomach and affects the appetite. To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional-alterative and tonic. •‘I was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, .giving each a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until I could hardly hear, taste or smell. I then concluded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not had any return of the disease since.” Eugene Forbes, Lebanon, Kan. Hood's Sarsaparilla Cures catarrh —it soothes and strengthens the mucous membrane and builds up the whole system.

The editor of the Atlanta Constitution, who has just returned to his sanctum from a trip to Cuba, says that we were ‘‘superlative chumps” when we let Cuba go, since the Island is very rich in natural resources and would be a desirable acquisition. Perhaps we did lose something material when we gave Cuba her promised freedom. However, we did not lose our self-respect, to say nothing of the good opinion of the world.

Jasper county has a new commissioner. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. A. Halleck, of DeMotte, January 14th, but Abe is so modest that he kept the fact from the newspapers until this week.

The meetings at the Free Baptist church by the pastor and Evangelist Meads are increasing in interest nightly and the church will hardly hold the crowds in attendance.

This means $350,000 a week, $48,000, a day $2,000 an hour, $34 a minute and 60 cents a second. By this it will be seen that Andrew is working no great hardship on himself by donating SIO,OOO for a library building in Rensselaer. On a pinch hejoould also pay for its maintenance, also, without going into bankruptcy. Representative Wilson has introduced a bill amending certain drainage laws. It increases the pay of ditch viewers and was introduced at the request of those interested in the proposed Iroquois ditch, in which it has been found almost impossible to secure viewers at the pay provided by law, which is $2.00 per day. This barely pays the expenses of viewers, who, in this case, are secured from other counties, and those heretofore selected, after a few days’ work, have resigned.

Sun Stroke Shattered My Nerves. Gave Up Preaching For Two Years. Dr. Miles' Nervine Put Me On Active List. Are you well? Do you sleep well? Do you get up rested, fresh and vigorous? Is your mind clear and active? If not read the following. See what another has suffered and how he recovered. “Some years ago I was afflicted with sun stroke which left me with a shattered nervous system and exceedingly poor health. I suffered terribly with pain in my head, the top of my head would feel hot. I could not study, and after striving for two years to wear the trouble off, I was compelled to give up my pastoral labor and retire to my farm where I spent nearly two years trying to recuperate. It was all of no avail. Physicians’ treatment and patent medicines failed to relieve me. I was exceedingly nervous and irritable and sometimes would shake terribly. I could not bear any noise. At the least excitement the blood would rush to my face and head. Two years ago I was induced to try Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. After using one bottle I could see improvement in my condition so I continued taking it for nearly a year. I am happy to say I no longer have those pains in my head or nervous spells. My appetite is good and lam able to preach three times on Sunday without fatigue. I consider Dr. Miles’ Nervine the most wonderful medicine ever discovered.”—Rev. D. Alex. Holman, Pastor U. B.
