case with the Mt. Lebanon Shakers. The
whole scientific world has been laboring
to cure dyspepsia, but every effort seemed
to meet with defeat. The suffering from
stomach troubles has become almost uni
versal. Multitudes have no desire for
food and that which they do eat causes
them pain and distress. Sleepless nights
are the rule and no exception, and thou
sands Of sufferers have become dicOurag-

came to the front with their new Diges-

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in
fact the great enemy of the mucous mem
brane. Neglected colds in the head al
most invariably precede catarrh, causing
an excessive flow of mucous, and If the
mucous discharge is interrupted the disa-
greable results Of catarrh will follow,
such as bad breath, severe pain across
the forehead and about the eyes, roar
ing and Buzzing sound in the ears and
ofen times a very offensive discharge. E.
ly's Cream Balm is the acknowledgment
for these troubles.

There is new summer game called
lawn golf. 1t is for those who cannot
spare the necessary five miles of ground
for golffiinks. In lawn golf the ball is
knocked through wickets into small
holes in the ground. 1t is little like
croquet, though different in plan. The
wickets are arranged to extend all
around the. ground, one after another.
twenty-five in all, and the play Is to
send the ball through the wicket and
into the hole at one shot. If it fails the
player goes back again, being allowed
three shots to an inning. Time rules
the limit of the game.
In addition to the pretty games here
given there-is being planned one that
will have the net feature of tennis, but
lightweight bats will be used instead
of rackets, and another that is only
hand-bau but is played on the rebound
from the side of wall constructed for
that purpose far from windows or foil
age plants.
