As to Wedding Presents.

A Philadelphia woman wants to
organize an anti-wedding-tax society,
by which she means a society for the
abolition of wedding presents. She
claims to be one Of 'Ethe thousand vic
TINS of the wedding present tax and
she says "the wedding gift is now as
much of a necessity among society
people as is the card of invitation or
regret" that 'you are invited to a
wedding and you pay the tax"
That may be the vulgar practice in
Philadelphia, and if it is a reform is
certainly calledifor. But elsewhere in
this country it would be considered
presumptuous, in exceeding bad taste,
to regard wedding invitation as afford
ing the privilege of bestowing a gift.
It is an understood rule, outside Of
Philadelphia, that only intimate friends
are entitled to send presents. Moth
ing could surprise or incense bride
more than to receive presents from
social acquaintnances whom she invites
to the wedding, but who cannot fairly
be classed among her intimate friends.
To intimate friends it IS a privilege
which they appreciate. Of course the
practice grew out of the old custom of
helping young couple to housekeeping
in the davs when the world was poorer,
but it now enjoyed as an occasion, the
most important event in a girls life,
when, friends may give expression to
their affection and esteem. It is unjust
to assume that such gifts are welcome
according to their intrinsic value or
that friend is called upon to impover-
ish himself in order to make an expen-
sive present. 1t is a good custom
when the line is drawn by common
sense, as it is outside of Philadelphia,
since it is an enduring pleasure to the
receiver and speaks forever of kindly
feeling which are the richest things in
life.-Milwauke Sentinel.

Group can be prevented. There is no
question about this; as it has been done
IN thousands of cases, and you may
depend upon it that when child takes
the Group, it is wholly owing to the
negligence of its parents. True Group
never appears without due and timely
warning; few hours, or day or two
before the attack, the child becomes
hoarse. This hoarseness is the first
indication Of Group, and is a sure sign
that Group is to follow, unless promptly
treated The free use of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy as directed with each
bottle, under the heading ITO Prevent
Group, " will dispel all symptoms of the
disease. For sale by Walter L. Wood.

Good Advice in a Nutshell.

There are four organs in the human
body which are vital in their functions

which gives US an immense amount Of

Kidneys and Liver. If they give us
trouble it is because we neglect or abuse
them, and of course we must take the
The diseases of these
organs are very numerous and often
dangerous. Luckily we now have d
remedy which has proved just the
thing for this class of diseases. 1t is
Pe-ru-na, purely vegetable compound,
that strikes right at the root Of the
whole trouble. This preparation was
used by DR.. Hartman most successfully
in his general practice for years before
it was placed before the general public:
and it was its remarkable success IN his
private practice that led him TO place it
before the public for the benefit of
mankind everywhere. As Tonic it is

At one time it was said that all roads
lead to Rome, and no doubt the saying
was true enough, but it does not hold
good the present day, as, for instance,
all roads leading to Grand Rapids, are
sure to bring the traveller to the fash
ionable tailoring establishment of
Albert Brazeau. As the beauty of q
brilliant stone is increased by its
setting, SO does a proper dress lend
additional grace to the beauty of q
manly form. So, by patronizing Mr..
Brazeau, the gentlemen of Grand
Rapids will be placed on par with any
other class of gentlemen in the world.
To those of his customers that are IN
