Scene IN a Boston Restaurant.

Boston man was seated at a table In a
Boston restaurant tire other day enjoying his
monday lunch. A late conner entered and
took seat at the same table, and, being evil
IDENTIFY somewhat in hurry, gave his entire
order at the one time, but was chagrined to
find that cold bread was served him instead
OF the warm biscuits he had expected. How
ever, not to DO wholly deprived Of the luxury
desired, he unceremoniously reached across
to the domain Of the earlier diner, picked up
the solitary biscuit that remained on the lat
ter's plate and commenced 10 eat it, where
upon the other, not to be outdone in the mat
ter Of good reach and the ability to employ

pie that belonged to the original offender,
and proceeded to regale himself. THAT is
my pie, sirl" came the prompt protest That

GLENDALE.

The autumnal services in the NJ E.
Church last Sunday evening were the first OF
that kind ever held in Glendale, and the
people are we'll pleased. The Sunday school
rendered the music and furnished several
recitations; both of which reflect credit upon
Miss Hettie Arnold, the teacher. Autumn
flowers and leaves decked the church inter-
ior, and the large audience that came
through the storm showed all unusual inter

Before It Is Born.
SOME STARTLING STATEMENTS OF GENERA
INTEREST.

SOME STARTLING STATEMENTS OF GENERAL
INTEREST.
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, OH being
asked when the training of a child should
begin, replied: "a hundred years before it
is born"
Are we to infer from this that this genera
tion is responsible tor the condition Of the
race a hundred years from now7
Is this wonderful generation the natural
result of the proper diet and medicines of a
hundred years ago?
It is conceded in other lands that most of
the wonderful discoveries of the world in
this century have come from this country.
Our ancestors were reared III log cabins, and
suffered hardships and trials
But they lived and enjoyed health to a
ripe old age The women Of those days
would endure hardships without apparent
fatigue that would startle those of the pres
eut age.
Why was it?
One of the proprietors of the popular rem
edy known as Warmers safe cure, has been
faithfully investigating the cause, and has
called to his aid scientists as well as medical
men, impressing upon them the fact that
there cannot be an effect without cause.
This investigation disclosed the fact that in
the oldeu times simple remedies were ad-
ministered, compounded of herbs and roots,
which were gathered and stored in the lofts
Of the log cabins, and when sickness came
on. these remedies from natures laboratory
were used with the best effects.
What were these remedies7 What were
they used for9 After untring and diligent
search they have obtained the formulas so
generally used for various disorders,
Now the question is, how will the Oiden
time preparations affect the people Of this
age, who have been treated, under modern
medical schools and codes, with poisonous
and injurious drugs. This test has been
carefully pursued, until they are convinced
that the preparations they now call Warmers
Log Cabin remedies are what our much
abused systems require.
Among them is what is known as Warmers
Log Cabin sarsaparilla, and they frankly
announce that they do not consider the sar-
sarpariIla Of so much value in itself as it is
in the combination Of the various ingredi-
ents which together work marveionslY upon
the system They also have preparations
for other diseases. suck as Warmers log

A whole medicine chest in your pocket,
