RECOLLECTIONS.

What blessed thing is memory !
How it brings up the pleasures Of the
past. and hides its unpleasantness |!
You recall your childhood days. do you
not. and wish they would return? You
remember the pleasant associations,
while the unpleasant ones are forgotten.
Perhaps to your mind comes the face of
some friend. Ii was once pale, sad
face. 1t showed marks Of pain, lines of
care. 1t seemed to be looking into the
hereafter, the unknown future. And
then you recall how it frightened, how
1T recovered its rosy hue, how it be-
came picture of happiness and JOY.
Do you remember these things? Many
people do. and gladly tell how the
health returned, how happiness came
back, how the world seemed bright.
They tell how they were once weak,
nerveless, perhaps in pain, certainly un-
happy. They tell of sleepless nights,
restless days, untouched food, unstrung
nerves. And then they tell how they
became happy, healthy and strong once
more. You have heard it often in the
past, have you not? You have heard
people describe how they were cured
and kept in healthl You certainly can
remember what it is that SO helped peo-
pie in America. If not listen to what
Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, who is
known universally as the great dress re-
former, says: "Six years ago, when suf-
fering from mental care and overwork,
l received the most pronounced benefit
from the use of the great medicine,
Warmers Safe Cure" All, now you re-
member. Now you recall how many
people you have heard say this same
thing. Now you recollect how much
you have heard of this great Cure. Now
you are ready to admit that memory is
usually pleasing, that the highest pleas
ure comes from perfect health, and that
this great remedy has done more to pro-
duce and prolong health than any other
discovery ever known in the entire his
tory of the whole world

Would Cost the Government Millions

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Oates cot.
ton tax bill yesterday secured favorable
report from majority OF the House COM
mittee on he judiciary. The bill provides
that the tax collected by the United States
during war times on raw cotton shall be
refunded in the event that the United
States Supreme Court holds the law under
which the tax was collected to have been
unconstitutional. IL the act be declared
invalid the court of claims shall try every
cotton tax suit commenced within one
year after the decision OF the United
States Supreme Court. A refund OF the
cotton tax would cost the government
some million OF dollars and this fact alone
doubtless, will be sufficient to prevent the
bill passing Congress ut this session.
