Valuable Recipe When Afflicted with
Rheumatism or Backache.
This is a renowned doctor’s very
best prescription for rheumatism.
“One ounce compound syrup Sarsa-

half pint high grade whiskey. Mix
them and take a tablespoonful before
each meal and at bed time. The bot-
tle must be well shaken each time.”

SORE EYES CURED.
Eye-Balla and Lids Became Terribly
Inflamed—Waa Unable to Go About
—AH Other Treatments Failed, But
Cutlcum Proved Successful.
“About two years ago my eyes got
in such a condition that I was unable
to go about. They were terribly in-
flamed, both the balls and lids. I
tried home remedies without relief.
Then I decided to go to our family
physician, but he didn’t help them.
Then I tried two more of our most
prominent physicians, but my eyes
grew continually worse. At this tiipe
a friend of mine advised me to try
Cuticura Ointment, and after using it
about one week my eyes were con-
siderably improved, and in two weeks
they were almost well. They have
never given me any trouble since and
I am now sixty-five years old. I shall
always praise Cuticura. G. B. Halsey,
Mouth of Wilson, Va., Apr. 4, 1908.”

Is Prayer Geographical?
Not long ago, in an important coun-
ty In Ohio, the women and others
prayed that it would go “dry” and it
did. A few days later, the people in
Nassau and Suffolk counties, Long Is-
land, prayed that these counties would
become desiccated and a count of
the votes showed that there was noth-
ing doing. In both cases only those
people prayed who were accustomed
to that form of weapon. According-
ly there is a strong suggestion that
prayer, like the tariff, is a local
issue.
A Remnant of the Dark.
A colored man died without medi-
cal attendance, and the coroner went
to Investigate.
“Did Samuel Williams live here?”
he asked the weeping woman who
opened the door.
“Yassuh,” she replied between sobs.
“I want to see the remains.”
“I is de remains,” she answered,
proudly.—Everybody’s Magazine.

Ancients Wore Sheath Gowns.
It need not be supposed that even
feminine fashions can evolve some-
thing new under the sun. A learned
Egyptologist discloses that the sheath
gown was popular among the ladies of
the Nile 15 centuries before the Chris-
tian Era. One gown was made of fine
linen, adorned with elaborate designs.
The professor thinks that the slit in
the side was intended to display the
wearer’s precious anklets. These an-
cient ladies also dressed their hair
elaborately with puffs and padding.
They painted their faces and lips, as
shown by rouge and pomade jars. All
of this is reassuring to man who may
have thought that some of the modern
developments of the dressmaker were
without precedent in their eccen-
tricity. Once more is demonstrated
the fit coupling on the words “eter-
nal” and “feminine.”
