A Timely Bit of Advice.

In these times of grip and pneumonia
it is of great importance that we should
krow where to look for a sale and sure
remedy. A slight cold becomes a serious
one, the scarcely noticeable pain IN the
chest is too often the fOrerunner OF penu-
monia. The first cough may lead to
consumption "a cough is always danger
ous). Never neglect cold or cough tor
even one day, but get at once, as a safe
and sure remedy, Kemp's Balsam, the
best cough cure, which is recommended
on all sides. 1t should be kept IN the
house regularly to avoid delay when
needed. 1t is sold at all the drug stores

UNCLE SANS

The ina for the Current Year Show
a Net Reduction of Over 100 600.
After all of the estimates OF receipts
and expenditures made by the executive
branch of the government are submitted
to congress the main reliance of the
body in making up the appropriate bills
is upon the compilation Of these figures,
made by Messrs. Cleaves and Courts, the
clerks of the appropriation committees.
The statement for the next and this year
has lust been prepared. 1t shows that
the estimates for the support of the gov
eminent during the next fiscal year ag-
gregates $496, 3O6, 789, which is a net re-
duction of 1856 $40 from the estimates
submitted for the present fiscal year.
This does not include any estimates Tor
sugar bounty, which Secretary Carlisle
states would amount to $l1,OOO,OO II the
bounty law is not repealed.
The estimates for the next year are
also less by $780, 83 than the total regu-
lar appropriations for the current fiscal
year (S496, FOG, 773), but this comparison
excludes not only the miscellaneous and
deficiency appropriations made for the
current year, but all estimates of appro'
priations on the same scores for the next
year. This year the deficiency appro-
priations were $22,277,O86, and the mis-
cellaneous appropriations, $52O,490, but
the large deficiency was caused by the
necessity of appropriating $~14,149,724 to
meet a deficit in the appropriations fol
pensions.
The statement places the receipts (es'
timates) for the next fiscal year at SHOT,
427, 7S4, so that there will be a deficiency
in the government revenues, if the full
estimates are allowed, Of 81 ,879,O41
But this statement assumes an appropri
alton of $49, 900, 900 to meet the require
ments of the sinking fund, and as a de
duction is made on that score and no &C
count is taken of deficiency and miscel
l%aneous appropriations that must b.
made, the revenues will exceed the estl
mated expenditures by $~6,12O,958.

but two bottles of DIR. Kings New Discovery

her life. Mr.. Thomas Eggers, l39 Florida

full cold, approaching consumption, tried
without result everything else then bought
one bottle of Or. Kings New Discovery and
in two weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, of which these

TEETH KNOCKED OUT.
John Lipscomb Comes to Grief at the
Skating Rink.

A young man who had been deceived
into thinking himself a hummer on
wheels, came to grief at the skating rink
last night.
John Lipscomb, a son of Mr.. W. T.
Lipscomb, in company with a number of
other youths, was making a grand cir
cult of the building, his hands resting
upon the shoulders of his n%eighbors on
his right and on his left, while theirs in
turn rested upon the shoulders Of others
when a gay and festive skater from the
opposite end of the room came plunging
toward them. There was a collision, a
sudden break in the line, and young
Lipscomb felt his feet fly from under
him and his face come in violent contact
with the floor, knocking out two of his
upper teeth and otherwise bruising him.
