Two Ways. Choose Which.

There are two usual ways of doing
what nature sometimes does incomplete
ly, namely, to relieve the bowels. One is
to swallow q drastic purgative which
evacuates profusely, abruptly and with
pain. the other is to take lloStetter's StO-
mach Bitters, the effect of which is not
violent, but sufficiently thorough, and
which does not gripe the intestines. II
the first is selected, the person employ
ing it need not expect permanent bene-
fit, and he cannot hope to escape the de-
biliating reaction which leaves the Or
gans as bad or worse off than before. II,
on the other hand. he resorts to the Bit
ters. he can rely upon the restoration OF a
regular habit of body, consequent upon
a renewal of a healthful tone in the in
testinal canal. Besides healthfully re-
laXing the bowels, the Bitters arOuses q
dormant liver, imparts beneficial impe-
tus to the Section OF the kidneys, and
counteracts the ealry twinges Of rheu-
matism, tendency to gout, ard malaria
in all its forms.

High License Practically Con
sidered.

One the arguments used in favor of a
higher liquor license is that it would
tend to decrease the consumption of Ii
quors by reducing the number of places
where intOxicants could pc obtained. A
short time since the same move was
made in Philadelphia, and the license
not only fixed as higher figure but the
LIQUOR License Court refusing many sa-
looms permits, thus forcing them to
close.
The past week the Philadelphia Record
made a tour of the breweries to ascer-
tain the effect on the sale of beer, and
as result of the investi CATION found
that there had been marked increase
in the consumption in some breweries
amounting to twenty five per cent. The
brewers state that The closing OF pOr
tion of the saloons has not only resulted
in securing larger sales for others, but
that now families who never before in
dulged in beer have it in small kegs AM
bottles at their Aomes.-City Item.

The plague of cotton planters In the
Mississippi valley since the war has been
the army worm; and the only defence
thus far yielding any measure Of success
is Paris green. busted upon the leaves
by the clumsy of a darky as:ride a mule,
sharking the stuff from bag at the end
Of stick, the poison saved a considera-
ble portion Of the crop that would other
wise have been sacrificed to the appetite
Of the caterpillar; but the process was
slow and not altogether without risk to
both darky and mule. Still, no better
way of distributing the poison appeared.
A Mississippi banker, James P. Roach,
Of Vicksburg, however, has just perfected
machine which seems as simple as il
is effective in dusting Paris green over
the cotton plants. Consisting Of the or
dinary frame work of cart, hopper
small but powerful blower, and forked
tube, the poison from the hopper is blown
to the right and left rearward, as the
marchine traverses the field. II is stat
ed that this marchine can thoroughly
dust 12O acres of cotton per day, which is
sufficiently rapid work to insure the
safety OF crop under any ordinary cir
cumstances. During the present season
the machine will be in use on the several
plantations Of Colonel David Mayer, and
other large planters, who have seen il
work and have full faith in its efficacy
