Virtue Of CASTLE Soap.
1t is not generally known, but it is as
serted to be fact, That the nose has ab
solutely no share in the production of
snore. Indeed, most people snore with
their mouths open and their noses tenn
porarily inactive. Hence the proposal
to fastcn n clothes.pin to the nose of
snorer is not only worthless rs remedy,
but is a positive aid to snoring. The
person whose nose 10 closed with o
clothes-pin must open his mouth in or.
der to breathe, and he thus assumes the
precise attitude most favorable to snor-
ing. Neither would II be of the slight
snore." No person shores voluntarily.
The snorcr is ashamed of his offcnse,
and when taxed with II generally denies
il stOutly.
There is precisely ono cure for snor.
ing, and It is to Sir Humphrey Davy
that we owe its discovery. That emi-
nent scientific person ascertained that
snoring is due to an abnormal vibration
of the cords Of the larynx, and that this
vibration only occurs when the surface
of the larynx has become dry. A man
who sleeps with his mouth open, until his
lsrnynx has become dry by contact with
the atmosphere, is sure 10 snore. Sir
Humphrey saw at once that, in order to
cure a snorer. his larynx must be kept
moistened or relaxed. He found by a
oarinc nf inn ma q 81
unusual snoring powers, that piece OF
CASTLE soap inserted in the open. mouth
of the snorcr effected an instant cure and
warded off any further attack OF snoring
for at least twenty-four hours. Re-
peated applications of soap broke up
the habit of snoring and thus effected
permanent cure. According 10 Sir
Humphry Davy, CASTLE soap. which is
composed Of olive oil and soda, is de-
composed the moment 1t comes in con-
tact with the human tongue, which has
wonderful affinity for oxygen. The
olive oil, being thus set free, lubricates
and rclaxes tho larynx, while the So
dunn is forcihly expelled In the shape OF
strong alkaline language by the snorer,
who Rwakeps the moment the decompo-
sition of the soap begins. 1t IL seldom
necessary to administer the CASTLE soap
more than three or four times, and the
most obstinate case Of snoring known to
medical men was cured with six doses.
1t might be remarked that almost any
variety of soap can be used with benefit
as remedy for snoring CASTLE soap
is, nevertheless, much more rapid In its
action than any other variety, with the
solitary exception Of soft soap rsry

Eyes OF blue so very bright
That they sparkle In tho night.

Like a symphony OF bells,
On the brooklets In the dells.
But a swecter charm than this
You are hushed with holy bliss

Courage.

AFTER who's Ready by Edna Dean Proc
tori
God help us! who's ready There's danger
ahead.
Who is able ostand? Hear the eielny's tread.
Hear the laugh of the denonsa all over our land,
As they fall our beloved, for the glass in his
hand:
And northward and southwark and eastward
and west,
Strong heroes are arming, strong hearts are ut
prayer.
The light and the darkness are wrestling in air:
But shall the night stay when the sun climbs
the sky?
And shall the right fail then. to sec the wrong
die?
Take courage, We faithless, ye s%orrowing rise.
We shall bring back our loved when our
enemy dies.
BE ready. All forward undaunted we cry.
sFor God, home and freedom well fight till we
die
The rum-holes shall turn ont their stencil and
their sin.
Al sunshine and liberty sweetly flow in.
"Our hands shall be strong, the weak ones to
grasp,
.Our hands shall lie tender. the sad ones 10
clasp.
The God of our fathers is guiding us still.
s'Men women, all forward and conquer We
will"

was found containing the grant ofthe Duke

has long been in dispute and caused con-

made a severe attack upon all such institu-

doctrine of the faith cure is that God will
cure, directly and Immediately, those who
have the right quality of faith in Him. and
who express it properly i'll earnest prayers.
This doctrine we call a superstition; it is as
opposed to the plain teaching of the Scrip
ture as it is to common sense. No faith
cure establishment, therefore, need expect
help or cooperation from the GhfistidR
Union, and no correspondent need expect
US to direct him to any such institution.

Original Advice for Drink ers.

Barkeepers in the city pay on an average
- per gallon for whiskey. One gallon con-
tains an average of sixty-five drinks, and
at 10 cents a drink the poor man pays $3.50
per gallon for his whiskey and $50 to a
man for handing it over the bar. Make
your wife your barkeeper. Lend her two
dollars to buy a gallon of whiskey for a
beginning, and every time you want a
drink. go to her and pay 10 cents for it.
By the time you have drunk a gallon she
will have $3.50, or enough money to refund
the 90 borrowed of You, to pay for another
gallon of liquor, and have a balance of
$3.50. She will be able to conduct future
operations on her own capital. and when
you become am inebriate unable to support
yourself, stunned and despised by all re-
spectacle persons, your wife will have
enough money to keep you until you get
ready to fill a d~runkard's grave.
