Mrs. W. B. Meek, who resides at
CamptonvilIc, CAL, says her daughter
was for several years troubled at times
with severe cramps in the stomach, and
would be in such agony that it was
necessary to calm aphysician. Having
read of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and DiarrhUa Remedy, she concluded to
try it. She found that it always gaze
prompt relief. 1t was seldom necessary
to give the second dose ut has not
only saved us lots of worry and time"
she says, "but also doctor bills. 1t is my
opinion that every family should have
a bottle of this remedy in the house"

soprano and flirting, and quite recent

wherein another marriage market, this
one in Servia, is held up to general ad-
miration.
But all this had to put to the score
of that poetic license without which

day, though, I heard of marriage

no joke, but tangible reality and as
reality is apt to bavery different from
the romantic. But r imagine the mere

grimage continues from all around, for
Teltow lies in thickly settled agri-
cultural district, and within radius of
a few miles there are score of villages.
Tie little town meanwhile has donned
her holiday attire. The deal tables and
the pine flooring In all these smoke
begriIned old houses have been secured

ems of the inns and taverns the copper
kettles and tin plates are shining, and
birch or pine wreaths are swaying in
the breeze on the iron hooks outside.
Every young fellow is up TO his ears in
business, and not one who can scrape a
fiddle or blow horn or flute but must
hire out as a musician. For there is
dancing during this week of gayety-

remaining would decompose the soap.
