Storm Prophet Hicks Paper.

Very few of our monthlies are more
useful or more popular where best
known, than Rev. Irl r. Hicks monthly
family and scientific paper, Word and
Works. First and foremost of the con-
tents of this charming paper we must
mention the noted monthly storm fore
casts of Rev. Irl r. Hicks, which are
read wherever the English language is
spoken. Besides these forecasts, Prof.
Hicks contributes to the paper every
month popular articles on astronomy,
which are finely illustrated; also arti-
on the science Of forecasting weather
by planetary meteorology, and a relig-
ious article or sermon in each number.
Besides these attractions the paper has
a "Home, Sweet Home department,
for the ladies', Youth and Beauty"
department for the boys and girls,
"Queries'' for those who want hard
nuts cracked, and many other good
things. All this for the low price of
S1.0O per year. Send six cents for a
sample copy and see the paper for
yourself. Address Word and Works

ed boys. Life is an interrogation
point. "What is it for?" we con-
hnually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermon we turn and ask: What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR :" AS easily
answered as asked: 1t is for Dys-
pepsia. 1t is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brirnful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. 1t is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along-it

nanser In Meat Diet.

The ewilscf a meat diet are being ap-
preciatcd byamany high livers in cities,
and these are being counteracted partly
by the wealthy in adding more fruits
and vegetables to- their tables during
the winter. The cheapness Of meat and
q peculiar craving which the system
seems TO have for meat have gradually
made It common for city people to live
almost entirely off meat in the winter
months. Meat is eaten three times q
day in quantities, and the excessive use
of such q diet is that rheumatic and
gout temperamenrs are acquired. These
temperaments; are on the increase, and
they are largely due to the excessive use
of meat -Pittsburg Dispatch.
