LITTLE BANNERS,
Tho sin we spare will not spare
us.
When we would walk with God
we must go his way.
Some people would say more
if they didn't talk so much.
Be tho kind of man that you
would like to have your boys be.
To keep needles from rusting
sprinkle a little powdered lime in
the packets.
The man who attends strictly
to his own business has a good
steady job.
The best reputation an individ-
ual or a newspaper can acquire
is a reputation for telling the
truth.
He who provides for his life,
but takes no care of eternity, is
wise for a moment, but a fool
forever.
Knives should be gently rub-
bed with oil before they are put
away for any length of time, to
prevent them from rusting.

Ivery case guaranteed. Patients
need not pay a dollar until com-
pletely cured. The iruis discarded

deaths caused by hernia, and the
number is constantly crowing in
proportion. These conditions "make
the demand for a Suaa, SAra and
PERMANENT CUa*. NO trUSS will
affect that cure. The best truss can
