baby in the crib. Nonnemacher then
climbed to the top of his barn and

Is Life Short or Long

If life is so short as some think it is, it
may be made to seem much longer and
sweeter by a better care for our COM
forts. Minor troubles are much magni-
fed by neglect and delay. We give too
much time to hunting up causes when
we ought to deal promptly with effects.
This is much the case with pain, which
should be cured at once and cause
looked into afterwards. Miss Ida M.
Fleming, 7 S. Carey St., Baltimore, Md,
states that for years she was subject to
any number Of remedies without avail.
She was given quinine, which she says
affected her nervous system. She suf-
fered night and day during these attacks
until she tried st. Jacobs Oil, which
finally cured her.

over the bill Of costs put in by the de-
