BOW Il Became Ponnlar

When people find an article much
superior to any thing of the kind they
have ever before used, they are almost
sure to tell their friends about il, and
especially if they know Of some friends
needing such an article. Dealers also
soon learn the true value Of their goods,
and when they have an article Of un-
usual merit they will almost invariably
mention the fact to their customers.
This accounts in a great measure for
the large sale Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Here is an instance: WI.
Needham, a prominent citizen and
business man Of Orrsburg, Mo-, has
been selling Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for several years and recon-
mends 1t to his customers, because in
his experience Il has proved to be the
best for colds, Group and whooping
cough: He says it is the most popular
medicine that he handles, and gives
the best satifaction. Fifty cent bottles

APPALLING DEPTHS OF SPACE
Stellar Distances That Stun the Mind
and Battle Comprehension

Stellar Distances That Stun the Mind
and Battle Comprehension
Sir Robert Ball, at the Royal Insti-
tuition on Saturday afternoon, deliv-
cred the last Of his lectures on astron-
omy. He took for his subjec "The
Stars" those orbs which, though APP
pearing so small TO US, because of their
immense distance, are, in reality, great
and shining suns. IT, he said. we were
to escape from the earth into space, the
moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and eventually
the sun would become invisible; but.
far rs we are from the stars, they still
shine brightly to us. Many of these
stars are heavier than our sun. For ex-
ample, Mizar, the middle star in the
tail of the Great Bear, is forty times as
heavy as the sun. To the naked eye
there are five or six thousand of these
heavenly bodies visible. In all prob
ability there are woridsirevolving round
them.
Sixty-one Cygni is the nearest star TO
us in this part Of the sky. Alpha Cen
tauri, I'm the constellation Centaur, in
the southern hemisphere, is the nearest
of all the stars. The sun is long way
off 100000 miles Now multiply
this by 100000. and the result is,
roughly speaking, 2O,00O,000, 600 900,
and this is the distance we are
from Alpha Ceutauri. Take the speed
of an electric current. which is
nearly the same as that of light, 10000
miles per secOnd-suppOse message to
be sent at this speed from point on
the earth's surface, ii would go seven J
times around the earth i'm one second. !
Again, let il be supposed that messages
were. sent off to the different heavenly |
bodies. To reach the moon at this rate 1
it would take about one second. In !
eight minutes n message wOnld get to |
the sun, and, allowing for a couple of
minutes delay, Que could send mes |
sage TO the sun and get an answer all |
within twenty minutes. But to reach !
Alpha Centauri it would take three |
years; and as this is the nearest of the /
stars, what time must it take to get to |
the Others? II, when Wellington won |
the battle of Waterloo in 1915, the news /
had been telegraphed of Immediately, |
there are some stars so remote that il I
would not yet have reached them. To ]
go a step further, if in 1866 the result
of the Conquest had been wired to some /
of these stars, the message would still |
be on the way. If the tidings of the /
first Christmastide in Bethlehem had ]
been sent to the stars, there are some
orbs, situated in the furtheFmost |
depths Of space, which could not re-
ceive the message for long time yet

Neatly Afended.

Among the bushelmen employed by q
large Market street clothing firm there is
one who is wonder in the repairing branch
of the business. An example of his skill
with the needle was furnished recently
which astonished even those familiar with
his work. A gentleman came into the
place with dress coat, almost new in ap-
pearance, but which the moths had gotten
into and Quilted hole as large as n silver
quarter in the back. Since there was not
another coat in the place which would fit
the owner, and he was extremely anxious
to have It by evening, it was sent to the
workrooms and a consultation held.
The workman in question asserted that
he could mend the place in way to defy
detection, and he WAS told to go ahead.
First cutting a piece Of cloth to fit the
hole he went to q black haired young
woman, and by her permission pulled sew.
eral hairs from her head. With these he
stitched the edges Of the patch, and when
the work was done not salesman in the
establishment could detect the mend. The
customer was 10 much pleased that he
sent the workman neat present.

A recent interesting instance Of what
science can do against apparently over
whelming odds occurred in the plains Of
Thessaly. The crops of that district of
Greece were threatened with entire de-
struction by swarms of field mice.
Every effort at destroying them proved
inefficient, and finally Pasteur was ap-
pealed TO, He referred his correspondent
10 Locfiler, whose recent researches
among disease microbes have made him
famous, and the Athenian government
finally invited Loefiler to Athens, where.
aftor some experimentation he deter
mined upon line of procedure.
Pieces of bread were prepared, each of
which contained numbers Of a certain
mioro-organism known to be extremely
deadly to mice, producing in thea dis
ease much like typhoid fever. The same
microbes, II eaten by man or by domes-
tic animals are absolutely harmless.
This bait was placed freely within reach
Of the wild mice, and Mt the same time
other mice inoculated with the bacilli
were turned loose, that their dead bodies
might be eaten by the others.
In this way the disease was quickly
distributed. Nine days after the bait
ing the mice had entirely ceased to show
themselves and further injury to the
crops was averted. Other districts were
subsequently treated by the same meth
cd and reported similar results.-Youth's

A Horse Never Has a Sick Headache.

There are many odd things about the an.
atomical and physiological makeup of the
horse that are seldom noticed or mentioned,
even by the so called written authorities"
on such subjects or by veterinary surgeons
themselves. Emetics have no more effect
upon living sick representative of the
genus equus than they would ON marble
representation of Alexander's famous old
Bucephalus. Do you know why this isS 1t
is because horse is unprovided with gall
bladder. When one Of the human family
gets badly injured the gall bladder acts in
sympathy, and the result is 'deathly sick
ness" or a fainting away entirely. With
the horse it is different-not because he is
not sensitive to pain, but for the reasons
given.
Some authorities consider that the horse
is the most highly organized of the domes-
tic creatures. One even says: There is no
living creature, not even a bysterical WON
an, so nervously sensitive as horse. And
as for the contention that horse does not
feel pain, | think that he even suffers more
from any injury than man would from a
hurt of the same magnitude" And yet
this 'nervously sensitive" creature has been
known to eat hearty meal when his en-
trails were trailing on the ground as a re-
suit of an encounter with a trained bull in
the arena or from gunshot wounds received
in battle with human foes, this for the
reason that he could not possibly get sick
at his stomach" because there is no over
flow of gall to cause such sensations--St
Louis Republic.

Pneumonia

At no time in the history of the
country has pneumonia been so prev
alent rs during the winter months of
the last two years. In times past a
common cold was not considered at all
serious, but of late years the great ten
dency of colds to result in pneumonia
has made people apprehensive. The
trouble is that colds are not always
properly treated. No preparation con-
tanning opium, wild cherry or chloro-
form should be used, as they have a
tendency to dry up cold, whereas it
should be loosened and the lungs re-
lieved. 1t has been observed that
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is used the cold never results in pneu-
monia. The reason is that this remedy
the mucuous membrane
which lines the throat and lungs, to a
healthy action, causes a free expectora-
ton, throwing of the poisonous matter
and cOunteracts any tendency toward
pneumonia. For sale by ali leading
