Invalids Should Remember the Date.
We wish again to call the attention Of
our readers to the return visit of Drs
France & Ottman, as announced by theiI
large advertisement in this issue of oul
paper The cry of beware of the fraudu
lent travelling "quack," which very justly
gained prominence few years ago wher
the laws of our State permitted this
species of gentry to ply their vocation
has outlived its application. The recog
nized fact that it is beyond the ken Of
possibilities for any one man to master
all the branches of the healing art, has
caused the best men in the profession
both in Europe and America, to devote
their entire energies to perfecting them
selves in special branches.
Drs. France & Ottman, who present
their credentials from the best medical
institutions in the country, have spent
the past ten years in the constant ipyesti
cation and treatment of chronic diseases
The fact that they refuse to prescribe fol-
any disease outside of their specialties
and ask only those to visit them who
have failed to get relief from their famil y
physicians, entities them to confidence
Large numbers already throng th,i
parlors at each visit. Every invalid
should carefully read their mammoth
advertisement and visit them at their
parlorS.

IT used to be true that the man with
an empty sleeve and G. A. R. button
was the favored man in Washington
But that day is past. The man who can
shrek "pension fraud" the most noisily
is now the favorite. Hoke Smith, who
halls from one of the States through
which Sherman marched to the sea, is in
the seat of honor, and he has declared a
war to the knife against those men who
trampled over his native heath There
are dark days ahead of crippled veterans
during the coming three years.

and it is further notable that with very

the action of the late Presbyterian

A Use for Him.

A Use for Him
The Agricultural Department has been
casting about for some way of disposing
of the English sparrow, and a professor
says:
1t does not seem to be generally known
that the English sparrow is superior
article of food; indeed, real delicacy.
Such, however, is the fact, and the bird
is growing in favor daily with those who
have overcome their prejudices sufficient
Iy to make fair trial Throughout Eu-
rope the sparrow always has been held in
high esteem as table bird, and in Great
Britain sparrow pie has come to be re-
garded as fairly typical of all that is sa-
worry and appetizing.
Even under ordinary circumstances the
flesh is well favored and tender, though
rarely fat, and when in early autumn the
sparrow congregates on stubble fields or
ripening grain their flesh becomes more
Juicy and takes on richer flavor. The
young at the time of leaving the nest are
about two-thirds as heavy as their pa
rents, and if properly prepared form the
most tempting morsels imaginable. For.
eigners familiar with sparrows from
childhood have learned that their flavor
and condition can be improved very ma
teriaIly by keeping them Gagged fer few
days after capture and feeding them
with wheat, oatmeal, corn bread and sim
liar food, and in all probability the time
is not far distant when this practice viii
become general among those interested
in the sale of the bird as an article o.
food,
