Wu8t nus tuo young men?
Robert CARROTS father left him q
fortune OF twenty millIons. He was
from childhood reared In luxury; he
received . splenid education with an
especial training into thorough
knowledge Of railroad management
and was expected TO succeed his faith
er as a railroad king.
Within three years after the respon-
sibilities which his fathers death
threw upon him were assumed, he Is
reported y broken down man, with
mind and health permanently shat
tered.
George Law Is another young man
left with millions OF money, who is re-
reported among the wrecks" His
father, bred a stone mason, was OF gi-
gantic size and strength, with COM
mensurate brain power, so he became
a great contractor. then railroad
king and left half a dozen millions
for his son to dissipate. The young
man is success as dissipater.
The founders Of both of these great
estates were born in the most humble
walks OF life, grew strong. mentally
and physically. by simple living and
honest labor and developed into H.
nancial giants. Their sons were rear
ed In the lap of luxury and developed
into intellectual pigmies.
The great men of our country have
not, as rule. come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from the
Log Cabins Of the rural districts.
Simple ways Of living. freedom from
dissipation and eneryating pleasures,
simple remedies for disease, effective
and which leave no poison In the
system, develop brawny, brainy men,
who compel the world to recognize
their strength and power.
The wholesome, old fashioned Log
Cabin remedies are the safest and
surest for family use. Our grand
mothers knew how TO prepare the teas
and syrups OF roots, herbs and balsams
which drive disease out OF the system
by natural methods and leave no after
Ill effects. The most potent OF these
old time remedies were, after long and
searching investigation, secured by
II. III. Warner OF safe cure fame, and
are now put out for the "healing OF
the nations" in the Warmers Log
Cabin remedies.

Nasal Voices. Casarrh aud False
Teeth.

A prominent English woman says
tho American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang, and yet IL is fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere. and
the universal presence OF catarrhal diff
liculties.
But why should so many Of our wo-
men have false teeth?
That is more OF poser to the En-
glish. IL Is quite impossible TO account
for IL except on the theory OF derang-
ed stomach action caused by impru-
dence in eating and by want of regu.
lar exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by mai-nu-
triton induced by deranged stomach
action. The condition 10 a modern one,
one unknown 10 our ancestors who
prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular
use OF what Is now known as Warmers
Log Cabin cough and consumption
remedy and Log Cabin sarsaparilla.
two old fashioned standard remedies
handed down by our ancestors, and
now exclusively put forth under the
strongest guarantees of purity and ef-
llcacy by the world famed makers OF
Warner's safe cure. These two reme-
dies plentifully used as the fall and
winter seasons advance, together with
an occasional use of Warmers Log
Cabin rose cream, TO strengthen and
protect the nasal membranes, give
positive assurance of freedom, both
from catarrh and those dreadful and
II neglected, inevitable consequences,
pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which so generally and ia
tally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Hen
ry Co.. Iowa, served four years In the
late war and contracted disease call
ed consumption by the doctors. He
had frequent hemorrhages. After using
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy, he says, under date
of Jan. 10, 1888: II do not bleed at
the lungs any more, my cough does
not bother me, and / do not have any
more smothering spells" Warmers
Log Cabin rose cream cured his wife
OF catarrh and she Is "sound and
well.'
or course we do not like TO have
our women called nose takers and
false teeth owners, but these condi-
tions can be readily overcome in the
manner indicated.

A Cheap Tramp in Africa.

DR.. Krause, who failed to get to Tim
buctoo last year because he would not
pretend to be a Mohammedan, dis
tinguished himself on that journey hy
making the cheapest trip on record. He
set ont from Accra on the Gold coast
with a capital of just $3.50, travelled
north to within a short distance of Tim
buctoos, and wendell his way back to
the coast, happy in the fact that he had
found fever plant that kept him in
good health after his quinine gave out:
He ;ourneyed alone, had no weapon of
any sort. begged his way or exchanged
medical services for food and shelter,
and actually travelled about two thou
sand mics, much of it through I'M
known country. 1t has been supposed
that Africa was poor place for tramps,
but the exploit of DR.. hrause, who, by
the way, is very competent explorer,
may be commended to the attention of
any of the brotherhood who find the
pickings poor at home. -New York Sun.
