Some Wonderful Things Can Be Ac-

A number of our great and most in
Veterate tobacco smokers and cheWerS
have quit the use Of the filthy weed.
The talismanic article that does the
work is No-to-bac The reform was
started by Aaron Gerber, who was a
confirmed slave for many years to the
use of tobacco. He tried the use of No
to-bac, and to his great surprise and de-
light it cured him. Hon. G. w. AshcOm,
who had been smoking for sixty years,
tried No-to-bac and it cured him. Col.
Samuel Stoutner, who would eat up to-
bacco like cow eats hay tried this
wonderful remedy and even Samuel,
after all his years Of slavery, lost the
desire. ]. G. Cobler, Leasing Evans,
Frank Dell, George B. May, G. O. Skill
ington, Hanson Robinett, Frank Hersh-
berger, John Shinn, and others have
since tried MOTTO bac, and in every case
they report not only a cure of the to-
bacco habit but a wonderful improve
nent in their general physical and
mental condition, all of which goes to
show that the use Of tobacco had been
injurious to them in more ways than
one. No-to-bac is popular with the
druggists, as they all sell under abso-
lutte guarantee to cure or refund the

Salzer's oats is the best of 300 varieties

a test yield of 200 bushels per acre last

MRS. GoULD's WELSH RAREBIT.

She Makes One Every Sunday Evening
at Her Lakewood Cottage.
4 Welsh rarebit ''spree" is the enter
tainment milady in Mayfair is giving
every Sunday evening to a few of her in
Inmates.
The chafng-dish is then brought into
requisition, and, arrayed in the most
witching Of toilettes, the hostess is at her
best when presiding over the mysteries
of a Welsh rarebit.
Hardly two people concoct this tooth
some and indigestible dish in the same
fashion Each has her own little varia-
ton which she thinks gives just the right
flavor. For instance, Mrs. George Gould,
who is giving a Welsh rarebit spree near
ly every Sunday evening at her Lakewood
cottage, always adds a cupful OF ale to
the other ingredients, which consist of
half q pound of cheese, broken in small
pieces, two eggs slightly beaten, a table
spoonful of butter, a teaspoonful of mus
tard, half a teaspoonful of salt and a
pinch of cayenne.
These are put in the chafing-dish and
stirred until the cheese melts; then the
mixture is spread on thin slices of crisp
toast and served Immediately. The ale
Mrs. Gould uses instead of cream, which
generally forms part of the mixture.
In making Welsh rarebit,' Mrs. Gould
added, you must stir it constantly; you
begin to think it is never going to get
done, and just about this time it will
spoil unless you are careful New York

SHAVING WITH GLASS.
Natives of Jamaica Have a Method of
Their Own Which is Original.

Natives of Jamaica Have a Method of
Their Own which is Original.
The natives Of Jamaica have no need
to buy soap, for the woods abound in
plants whose leaves and buds supply very
well the place of that Indispensable arti-
Gle. Among the best of these is the soap
tree, SO called. though it is more a bush
than a tree. Its bulb, when rubbed on
wet clothes, makes a beautiful lather.
soap.
The Jamaica negroes, some of whom
are great dandies in their way, make a
soap out of cocoanut oil and homemade
I've; and a fine soap it is, smooth and
fra grant. This cOcoanut oil soap is used
for shaving.
When man wishes to shave he starts
out with his cocoanut shell cup and his
donkey-tail brush and q bottle. 1t is new
er any trouble to find an empty bottle in
Jamaica, even in the mountains. AT least
twenty carnations of thirsty people have
lived there, and thrown away the empty
bottles.
The man carries no mirror, because he
has none to carry. Not one negro cabin
in dozen has even cheap looking glass
But nature provides the mirror as well as
the soap. The man goes to a convenient
poo in the moutain stream, where the
water is still, and there is his mirror.
He breaks his bottle on a stone and
fathers his face profusely, and begins to
scrape away with his piece of glass, which
works almost as well as sharp razor.
The men rarely cut themselves in the
opera ton. ''At first, says a writer, 81

the method for myself and soon became

A VALUABLE MEDAL.

Struck for Bravery and Presented Fifty
Years Later.
Looking over a collection of coins and
medals which SotEeby & Wilkinson are
preparing for an early sale-remarks
London correspondent came upon one
which tells an almost incredible story.
1t forms part of a group Of Peninsula
medals, and commentaries the action
fought at Vento del Pozzo on the 23d of
October 1912. An account of the engage
ment will be found in Wellington's dis
patches The whole French army, Wei
Iington says, followed his movements. The
British rear guard consisted of the Sec
ond Life guards and Gen. Anson's brigade
Three times the French forces were flung
upon these two battaiions, but always re-
pulsed with great loss. That for such
gallant action medal should be struck
is natural enough. The strange part Of
the story comes in when it is known that
not till after the lapse of fifty years were
the medals distributed. In the year of
1862 q few old men, survivors of the
French attack and of subsequent half
century of time, were with difficulty
picked out and had the medals bestowed
upon them. AS the auctioneer, with grim
but unconscious satire, observes 1.-THE
medal is extremely rare; very few vet
Grams being alive in 1862 to receive it. .

to Sharon in Ten Days.
L. B. Arthurholt, farmer living four
miles north of town in Ohio, has dog
that he claims travelled on foot from
near Lexington, Ky, to his farm in ten
days.
The dog is part hound and said to
be a wonderful hunter, and his instinct
of smell is said to be unequaled by any
canine in Eastern Ohio. The dog can
distinguish fresh track made by game
from an old one, and hardly ever failed
in bringing up a rabbit when he got
on his back.
Mr. Arthurholt is not man that en-
joys the sport of hunting. His brother
is farmer in Kentucky, and Mr.. Arthur
holt, at the brothers request, shipped
the dog to Lexington, KY, about
three weeks ago. Fifteen days ago he
received word from his brother that the
dog had been let loose and could not
be found anywhere. What was Mr..
Arthurholt's surprise when he got UP
last Thursday morning to find the dog
sleeping in his old kennel, in the back
yard. The dog seemed to be as over
joyed at finding his former master as
MIR. Arthurholt was surprised at find
ing the dog. 1t is safe to say that the
intelligent canine will always find a
home at the Arthurholt homestead
