Easy To Mix This.

What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, which is said to be a positive cure for backache or kidney or bladder derangement, if taken before the stage of Bright’s disease: Fluid extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound; Syrup Sarsaparilla; three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known druggist here at home When asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy. Or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further states that while this prescription is often used in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles* and backaches, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those of our readers who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial.

CHANCELLORSVILLE NOW.

Chancellorsvllle is a dreary place today. Not a man lives there. Right here is a good place to correct a current popular misunderstanding of what the word Chancellorsvllle means. Chancellors“ville” never was a village. It was a road house in the wilderness, kppt by a man whose name was Chance/lor. There was only his dwelling, stable, barn and some frame outbuildings. It was a great stopping place for the stages and for travelers over the plank roail from Fredericksburg to Lynchburg and the west and over the Orange turnpike,j for these roads formed a junction near the Chancellor house. The owner of the place had cleared several hundred acres around the house and this was the only open country in that neighborhood. Hooker made his headquarters in the Chancellor house and it was destroyed by artillery fire A cannon ball smashed a stone column of the portico against which Hooker was leaning and the shock rendered the general unconscious, and gave rise to the report that spread through the lines that he had been killed. After the war the debris of the house was cleared away and a smaller structure reared on a part of the old foundation. This was used as a summer boarding house, but with the horrible memories of the war haunting the house and fields and woods about it, the patronage was small and the structure is now in a ruinous state. Part of the war time fence line along the plank road through the Chancellor fields is standing, though very decrepit and hundreds of bullet holes are visible in the chestnut rails.

In the library of congress at Washington are reproductions from photographs made after the close of th« war showing the fields and woods strewn with white skulls and skeletons of the federal soldiers killed there. It was not until afterward that the United States government sent funeral parties into this territory and gathered up the bones which later were buried in the national cemetery at Fredericksburg. There 10,000 men are buried and the word “Unknown” is inscribed on 12,000 of the headstones. All the bones of the fields of Fredericksburg, Salem Church and Chancellorsvllle have not been recovered. Men in repairing roads, cutting new streets and digging house foundations are bringing these grim relics of the horror days of the civil war to light. Most of the southern dead were recovered and thousands were sent back to their homes whence they came. These brave men sleep in big ind little graveyards and churchards throughout the south. There are, however, about 2,000 southern soldiers’ graves in the Fredericksburg cemetery. » A mile farther into the Wilderness than the Chancellor house is the spot where Stonewall Jackson fell. With his staff he had gone outside the confederate lines and, falling in with the enemy, dashed back into the southern lines at a different point along the front. The horse nen were mistaken for Union cavalry by the outposts of Lane’s brigade and were fired on. One musket ball shattered Jackson’s left arm below the shoulder, another ball pierced the same arm below the elbow and a third passed through his right hand. He fell from his horse and the pursuing federals drove back the confederates and passed over the ground where J ickson lay. The federals in turn were beaten back and Jackson taken in charge by his own men. The fighting was sharp and one of the bearers of Jackson’s litter was killed. Jackson was removed to Guinea Station, 12 miles southeast of Chancellorsville, where, on May 10, he died of pneumonia, being weakened by the wounds and the amputation of his left arm. For many years the spot where Jackson fell was marked by a bowlder, but a few years ago a monument was erected a few yards west of this bowlder. These two markers stand on the right side of the old plank road and in the midst of dark pines. The Jackson monument is the only southern memorial in all that bloody land. There are but two northern memorials. —New Orleans Times-Dem-ocrat.

How to Wean a Child.

The bottle fed baby, never accustomed to the natural method of obtaining its nourishment, is Very difficult to wean, for which reason a mother will often give the little one one of those gum comforters or the gum nipple from the bottle and It really becomes a little “wind-sucker.” Not long ago I saw a little child almost in spasms because the nurse could not find the empty nipple to appease—well, what was it? Certainly not hunger, but something merely to gratify a habit. I have heard mothers say it almost broke their hearts to wean babies simply because the pleadings were so pasthetic. No doubt there is some truth in it, but what was one mother doing for her little boy when she permitted him to drink milk and go to sleep with the empty gum nipple in his mouth? This habit lasted six years? He was almost a nervous wreck, but tender heartedness was the real cause. The old-fashioned method ot weaning a child during certain signs of the moon holds good even tonay, and it is said never wean a baby when the zodiac signs are in the head, chest, heart or bowels, always wten the signs are In the lower extremities. What this has to do with it is not known, though you won’t find a careful mother going contrary to it. Take away the bottle and give the child a drink of milk from a glass. He will be more restless at night. If he refuses, let him get tolerably hungry and he will drink the milk when offered in a glass. The warm bath is soothing, and a child will often fall asleep if the spine is gently massaged. It is rather pathetic, indeed it is genuinely so, for a baby to start up out of a half sleep and plead for its milk, but with a little kindness, patience and enforced hard-hearteduess, it can be denied. If the child is old enough to talk, and many are before they are weaned, it will grow sleepy by having someone talk, play and sing little songs, anything to attract the attention from what is uppermost in the mind to save it Yrom the “comforter” which destroys the shapd of the mouth; and the nipple, often found upon the dusty floor, can be dispensed with.

Home-Made Covers.

Magazine covers are made from heavy linens and craftman’s canvas. For the post card latter fabric Is preferred. Both materials can be had in a verlety of colors, and an applique of cretonne Is a popular form of decoration.

The Value of Good Digestion r-.L. * j". . ’ oj flSff 7 - I Is easy to figure if you know what your stomach is worth. Kodol keeps the stomach at par value, by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia.

Kodol insures good digestion by absolutely duplicating Nature’s normal process, in perfectly digesting all food taken Into the stomach. While Kodol Is doing this, the stomach is resting—and becoming Strong and Wealthy. A strong and healthy stomach guarantees a sound and active brain. The man with a sound stomach —a stomach that Is doing for the body just what Nature Intended it to do —is the man who is always prepared for any emergency. He is “there with the goods.” The man with a sick stomach, is a man sick all over. When the stomach is Irritated by undigested food, the blood and heart are directly affected. Then dullness, unnatural sleepiness, slck-headaches, vertigo and fainting spells, and even serious brain trouble develop. Kodol will prevent these. Spurring the stomach and brain
