WHAT AILS YOU

Mao? people owe their present good
health to the (act that they consulted Dr.
Mm by letter, giving hint all possible in-
formation about their condition, symptoms,
etc and received in return good radical
•deice which cost them nothing. Write to
Dr R V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute Buffalo, N V.
Dr. Pierce by no means confines himself
to prescribing hi* well known medicines.
He tells tvu ia the most common sense
way what ails you, what you ought to do.
what line of treatment should be followed
set in your particular case, and if your case
does not indicate the need for this proprie-
tary medicine, he tells you plainly and
frankly what yon do need, and the best
poaaible method of improving your health.
Dr. Pierce treats many chronic cases at a
distance, through the mail and all you hare
to do is to write him your symptoms.
Mrs John Burge, of Mohr. West Vs , writes:

Gov. Hogg might be aroused

Then iu Heaven’s name let
no one propose such a thing.
Silence, especially on the part
of Mr. Hogg, is golden, and is
highly appreciated by many
people.

We hnVd seen the statement
several times that Busby hud
committed no offense, but that
his trouble was due principally
to poor book-keeping. Be this

▲xd now cornea the Comp-

a great many people who are in

the complaint may be said to be
general.

Those friends of Col. Cone
Johnson who are talking about
his eandidancy for Governor
should not overlook the fact
that Hon. J. B. Wells,the Dem-
ocratic 8achem, whose home is
on the banks of the classic
Bravo del Norte, will probably
be in that race, and there ia no
indication that he has lost any
of hie power.or.popularity.
The report that the Panama
ermy consists of twenty five
men and one mnle is probably
untrue; but it should be remem-
bered that the mnle proved to
be a very dangerous factor do-
ing the Boer war in South Af-
rica.

MIm Milliner's To Ins.
Sometimes, but not often, the “ex-
clusive" New York tniUiner is caught
napping. One of the smartest of these
on Fifth avenue not long ago sold a
bat to one of her customers who lived
in the western part of New York. The
milliner declared the hat could not be
duplicated in this country; that she
had brought it over from Paris and
would not make another like it for any
price.
The woman bought the hat on those
conditions, for she had a weakness for
individual things. She has a sister who
lives In Boston and who also patronizes
the same shop, though the relationship
Is not known to the milliner. The oth-
er day the two women met in this city,
and the first thing they did was to
stare at each other's liat.
The shopkeeper had duplicated the
“exclusive'’ model- for thq Boston wo-
man.—New York. Press.
I.Inruin'. Opinion of Marrlscr.
Abraham Lincoln once remarked that
every man about to marry should
stand over a doctor with a clnb and
make him tell the truth In reference
to the chosen partner for life if there
was no other way of getting it out of
him. Also that the parents who would
allow a girl to marry u man without
knowing, as nearly as I'ould be known,
his physical as well as his moral con-
dition de*crve<I to bo scalped.
‘The whole marrying business is
wrong,” sjaid Mr. Lincoln. “Fashiona-
ble girls have too often foolish moth-
ers. who care fu* nothing hut to rail
their llcoli and blood to the highest
bidder."
Dear Mra. Mala prop.
There is generally somebody—a lady
as a rule—in each district on whom
its finest Malapnops are fathered, some-
times quite unfairly. It is she who is
reported to have made that speech
about the glories pf her father’s bouse,
up to the door of which there ran a
“revenue of popular trees;” she who
asked her daughter to play that little
“malady" she had learned at the “cem-
etery" and she again who pronounced
Sir. Brovrn as “proud ns Luther.”
while the tuft banting Mr. Smith was
such a “toby” be deserved to be “tat-
tooed" at his club.’ Dear Mrs. Mala-
prop. what should we do without her?

Yeast of the Ancients.
The yeast employed by the ancients
In making bread was probably of the
same kind as the Israelite of the days j
of the great Pharaoh the oppressor j
used, calling It “leaven.” This was 1
what is known nowadays as a wild ,
yeast, its genus or spores being afloat t
anywhere in the air. A bit of dough
was preserved out of each batch pre-
pared for the oven*, and when tbla
was added to the next dough the yeast
contained in it qnlcfcly spread through
the whole, only a little being required
to “leaven the whole lump.”
