Iasked woman shrewd /;
'Somc others have far larger scope
Their names here review.
'ewhat makes me buy that ce rtain brandt"
The women looked surprised,
Aud thus she answered my demand
i'Because it's advertisedl'
s'why did you choose that ribbon fairi'' 4
asked little miss;
ssThe storekeeper had others ~,
Why did you ask for this?''
She gazed at me with pitying eye,
My face she criticised,
Then answered very simply, ''why7
Because it's advertisedl'
.'what makes you always buy that wine?"
I asked a business friend,
SITS quite fevorite of mine
Bnt-why select this brand7s
he looked astonished aud my aim
He had not recognized,
But still he answered just the same
s'Because it's advertisedI"
And so youn find where'er you go,
Wherever people bny,
The goods that have the greatest show
And on which folks rely
Are those made known thro' printers ink,
And it may be surmised
One merit is, the people think,
because they're advertised"

teen wears she has been badly broken
out all over her body, causing her un-
told suffering, and frequently rendering
her unable 10 attend school. Her arms
and limbs would crack open and bleed,
then dry up and scale OF by the hand
full, and at one time an awful sore ap-
peared on her ear, which became severe
" inhamed and almost dropped OF.
The disease also broke ont on her head
and her hair was a continuous mass of
scales. Her condition was truly pitia-
BILE.
"of course we have done all we could
to relieve her, and have given her al
most every known treatment. She has
taken potash mixtures and various salves
and external applications by the whole
sale, and almost every so-called blood
remedy, all without the slightest
benefit, and year by year we could not
feel the slightest encouragement that
she would ever be well. / was advised
several times to send her to Hot Springs,
and also to celebrated spring in Michi-
gan, and was told that this was the only
Chance on earth of hereyer being cured,
as the disease was too aggravated to be
checked by medicines
ga few months ago, someone recou1-
mended S. S. S., and as soon as her sys-
tenn had taken on the effects of this
medicine, an improvement was noticed.
She grew better all the while and con-
tinued to improve in every way. We
were delighted to see her so much bet
ter and for the first time felt that she
would get well. The medicine was con-
tinued while longer, and now she Is
cured sound and well, her skin Is clear
and pure, and she has been saved from
what threatened TO blight her life for
ever. The cure is oil the more remark
able because she inherited the disease,
which has been In our family for several
generations, and I am happy to find
In S. S. S. q cure for a diseas which
all the specialists in the world fail to
cure I consider S. S. S. a most wonder
full remedy, and IL certainly has no equal
for deep-seated blood diseases which all
other remedies do not seem to touch. "
This experience is like that Of all others
who seek relief from the many so-cailed
blood purifiers, only to be discouraged.

/ dreadful disease by the use of salves,

Newspaper Don.ts.

Don't discontinue paper until
you have squared up with it.
b Don't misinform newspaper in
order to ''get eyen' with somebody.
Do you own fighting.
Don't tell the editor that you de-
test newspaper notoriety and then
get mad if he believes you.
Don't abuse paper unless you
pay for it. Borrowers are the great
est fault finders q newspaper has to
contend with.
Don't expect a paper to abuse the
government for your especial bene-
fit. Tell your troublesto the police.
DON'T abuse the paper if it uses
space in printing something you do
not consider worth reading. Those
who read that part of the journal
may think your favorite matter pure
rot A paper is built to please many
not one.
Don't take paper from the post
office for five years and then refuse
to pay for it because you Hneyer sub
scribed for itnohow." This is thiev-
cry, pure and simple. You could
have refused it four years and eleven
months before. so
Don't get mad if your visitors
name does not appear in the personal
column. Perhaps you did not tell
the editor; he's no mind reader.
Don't stop paper if your three
column contribution is condensed
into eight lines. The condenser may
have done you great favor.
Don't declare paper unreliable
because an important item contains
grave error. The editor may have
gotten his information from your
brother.
Don't cuss the editor because
his opinions do not conform to yours.
If they did he might be at variance
with some eight or ten million other
persons.
Don't say paper is ''no count
unless you have demonstrated ability
to run one yourself. Perhaps you
have failed in every thing you have
tried to do.
Don't get mad if your neighbor' s
doings are referred to more frequent
| ly than your own. Your nelghool
uses his mouth. Your modesty may
be keeping you in obscurity.
Don't delay paying your subscrip-
ton becouse it is a small matter. Ii
several thousand other subscribers
did the same way it would kill the
paper in six months.
Don't expect more of the paper
than you do for it. If you expec
the paper to speak we'll of you, yot
must speak well of the paper. Som'
people say the paper has nothing ir
it, the editor has no get up, is an ole
fogy and has no enterprise. Anc
yet if the paper would say half tina
much about them or their business
even though it be true, they woulc
neverItake the paper again and per
haps never speak to the editor again
lido unto the paper as you woult
b ave it do unto you"

Items of interest.

The work of remodeling the Nor
gan county courthouse is in progress.
The interior will be entirely recon
strdcted
Colds and Grip are one and the

Postmaster-Gen Wilson has is

Fourthof July in New York city IS

DIR. Benjamin Blackford, superin-
tendent of the Western State Hospi-
tai at Staunton, Va, attributes the
increase of insanity, to great ex-
tent, to the cigarette-smoking habit.
The shares that have been taken in

8, 500, about 500 short of what is
needed.
The Southern Railway Company
has contributed 81 900 to the fund
for rebuilding the University of Vir-
ginia. The Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company recently coutribu-

The land has been purchased. an
outlet secured and the B. & Q. have
corps of engineers engaged on n
preliminary survey for railroad
from Beeler's Summit to the top of
the mountain. where the proposed
hotel will be erected and park made.
1t is said there will also be an incline
road made which will connect with
the railroad on this side of the noun
tain, making it easily accessible to
our town. The structure will be
handsome and commodious, similar
to the hotel at Pen-Mar, for the ac-
commodation of the increasing mum
ber of visitors who will come to this
locality in future years.
Hdgper's Ferry Sentinel.
They say that an early settler is he
who pays his bills promptly that the
man who looks out for himself watches
others; that gossip is gentle zephyr
that grows into a tornado ;that women
who do not fancy work often do fancy
work that if life is fitful dream,
death must be q sort of an alarm
clock that slipper used judiciously
will often make a dull child smart !;
that society is conversation between
people about themselves that GER
tain man keeps his work because no
one else will take it that there are two
sides to every question, ours and the
wrong side; that the devil hurts US
most when he smites us through
those we love; that the man who is
perfectly satisfied with himself is
usually very easily pleased; that
there are men who would die for a
woman, but would not give up smok-
| ing for her.
