BLUELIPSAND COLD FEET

Why Ladies Look 50 Miserable in Cold
Weather-A Few Suggestions About
Health and Complexion.
"why do women look so pinched, blue and
coldi Nearly every lady saw on the street to-
day hsd drawn features, blue lips. and seemed
shaking with the cold"
The gentleman who made the above query
was An observer simply. He did not know that
underneath the gloves which the lady wore,
were chilled fingers. and within the shoes were
cold feet. Unfortunately. however, women are
troubled with cold feet, benumbed fingers and a
general feeling Of chilliness. which is anything
but conducive to good health and beauty. Do
you know what causes It! Thin blood and poor
circulation. II the blood gets chilled the feet
are certain to be cold; if IL circulates poorly,
colds, coughs, congestion and perhaps pneu-
monia are the result. Can this be prevented by
warm clothing. Partly only. Clothing may
warm the outside Of the body, but the inside,
where the blood circulates most, may still be
chilled. Nothing can assist this but pure stimu-
liant and nothing is SO good as whiskey. This is
true, beyond question, but nothing but pure
medicinal whiskey win accomplish the result
sought for. There is but one pure medicinal
whiskey in America and that is Duffy's Pure
Melt. This has been proved and verified over
and over and however INSCRIPTIONS certain
dealers may be, however they may try TO foist
them deceive you Duhy's Pure Malt Whiskey
has no equal and Is the only preparation that
can accomplish the end desired, namely, good
warm and pure blood kept healthiy circulating

IMAGINED HIMSELF A SENTRY.
A Drunken Man Ealts q Citizen and
Demands the Counterslgn.

A Drunken Man Ealts a Citizen and
Demands the Countersign.
A young man named Dranoel had
rather peculiar experience last night with a
straggler who had filed up on Thanksgiving
liquor and imagined himself a sentry.
Dranoel was walking up Abercorn street
about o'clock, and at Broughton street
lane met the inebrlated individ-
the latter called out "Haltn Drnuoel
turned to see what the fellow wanted and
then turned to walk away.
81 said halt" called out the drunken
man.
why do you want me to haltF' asked
Dranoel.
T want you to halt and give the counter
sign," said the fellow, because il you don't
give the counterign you can't pass this
post
81 don't know anything about your
countersign," answered Dranoel as he
started TO walk away.
IF you don't advance aud give the
countersign,n said the would be sentry,
I'm shoot you," at the same time throw
ing his hand to bis hip pocket and taking a
step forward.
Dranoel is a military man himself, and
be thought he would humor the drunken
chap. II don't'know the countersign," SAID
he, but III call the corporal Of the guard"
- the corporal OF the guard" replied
the other. "If you don't give the counter
sign I'm going to shoot"
Dranoel saw that something had to be
done quick SO he grabbed the hand Of the
drunken man which was In his pistol pocket
while he pulled the other between his legs
giving him the foot at the same time and
sending the sentry sprawling five feet away
in the mud, with the remark, There's your
countersign."
Dranoel then hurried or, and when about
half block away turned and saw the man
who wanted the countersIgn still wallowlna
In the mud and calling after him "Halt."

All tCoHne1t who are overworked, " run
down. or debilitated, need just one medi-
cine-and that is DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It's broad statement, but
facts bear it out. These are the facts:
II you're q weak and delicate woman,
then the " Favorite Prescription builds
you up; if you suffer from any of the
painful disorders and arrangements pecu-
liar to your sex, it relieves and cures.
Tt invigorates the system, improves diges-
ton, enriches the blood, dispels aches and
pains, brings refreshing sleep, and re-
stores health and strength. All the
chronic weaknesses, Irregularities, and
disturbances known as female com
plants are permanently cured by it.
These are. facts, and they're strong
enough to warrant the makers in guar
dnteeing their remedy. If il fails to bene-
ct or cure, you have your money back.
No other medicine for women is sold on
such terms. That proves that nothing
else can be just as good.n

Hunkun Hill.

s. W. Foss IN the Yankee Blade
used to gaze on Hunkum Hill
And think it very high,
And one Of natures mighty props
That helped hold up the sky,
One day toddled up its side
And stood upon its top,
And then learned the sky must rest
Upon some other prop.
And there saw it Just beyond,
Another hill much higher,
Its summit mingled with the sky
All fused with sunset fire.
That hills button on the earth"
Said / to little John,
1.-THE great sky spreads its buttonhole
And there 1t bitches on"
One day / climbed this other hill,
AND found with heavy heart
The button and the buttonhole
We're very far apart.
But there against the crimson west
Another hill was seen,
a mighty spangled cushion where
The big sky loved 20 lean.
And SO I've kept on climbing hills
From busy day to day.
But from the topmost peaks l find
The sky rs far away.
nspite Of many tuInbles, still
This sermon l would preach:
Lies greatest fun is grasDing for
The things we cannot reach.

the vessel, tackle and what furniture and
