ABOUT BITTER MILK.
Usually Caused by Iu-Healuh and Poor
 Condition of the Blood.

Usually Caused by Iu-Healuh and Poor
 Condition of the Blood.
 Several readers have written con- blaming that the milk of their COWS is bitter after standing a few hours or single day and that the feed used is of the best, clean and wholesome. Some of the cows have been in but few months others will be fresh within three months.
 Cows that have been in but few months, are properly fed, have pure water, free access to all the salt they wish and give milk that is bitter with out being tainted by contact with out side surroundings, may be in ill-health which affects the condition of the blood.
 The best remedy for this trouble if produced by the blood being out of con- dition is to give pound of sulphate of soda (glauber saits) or of sulr1ate of magnesia (epsom salts), dissolved in warm water, by means of common drenching horn or long-necked bottle; and after this has operated, a daily dose of one ounce of hyposulphite of soda may be given with good results, for two weeks.
 This latter is readily taken, by most cows, when powdered and sprinkled over mess of scalded bran or in other feed.-Western Rural. .t

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of
 five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents. Terms, cash in one year, in two years at 10 per cent interest.

The Story of
 Pur1tana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. D., IL. D., who for thirty-twO years was at the head of Dartmouth Medical College, belonged to the famous Crosby family of physicians, which for several gencr- ations has furnished more distin- guished medical men than any othc family in America. His father WIS Dr. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who procured the charter of the Sta 0 medical society, of which he was fer thirty years a conspicuous member: one brother, Dr. Josiah Crosby, in- vented the invalid bed and the methol Ot making extensions of fractured limbs by adhesive strips; another brother, Dr. Thos. R. Crosby, was chief surgeon in Columbian College Hospital during the war, and later professor of animal and vegetable physiology at Dartmouth College; while Dr. Dixi Crosby himself was the inventor and discoverer of various important Improvements in medicine and surgery, including a new and unique mode of reducing metacarpO- ph1langeal dislOcation, opening of ab- 51ess at hip-joint, etc., etc.
 At the early age of twenty-four his Extraordinary skill and success in over 'oming disease had already attracted the attention of medical men through out the world, and won for him the highest honors. His greatest achieve ment was the discovery of an original method for pcrfecting and compound ing in permanent form what has be- come known as his "prize formula" and which, undor the name of Puri- tana, is legally protected.
 The foundation of this remarkable medical discovery consists of simple New England roots and herbs, and the original family recipe for it has de- scended to the long line of Crosby physicians from their Puritan ances- tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost tion rendered it necessary to brew it whenever needed in the early days of it's history, and after the scattering f the Puritan families to remote locali- ties, where the necessary ingredients were not to be found, many attempts were made to put it up in permanent form, all of which failed until Dr. Dixi Crosby discovered means and methods, the result of which is: Natures Cure compounded in the laboratory of Common Sense.

Story of an Execution by Electricity Re
 lated on an Elevated Train,


 They got on crowded Sixth avenue elevated train at Fourteenth street, and every one looked at them because they were both young and both pretty. They talked together in audible tones, with all the enthusiasm of youth, and the other passengers listened to it all with great interest.
 Suddenly one of them, the smaller one, turned to her companion and with look of horror on her face asked:
 "Oh, Win, did you ever see any one killed by olectricity?"
 Gracious, no!' exclaimed the other. II should hope not
 II did," laconically rejoined the other.
 "Why, Florence, what do ySu mean ?'' demanded her companion.
 "Oh, it was terrible" replied Flor ence in all seriousness. "I never want to see anything like it again."
 "How utterly ridiculous'' remarked her friend. "Whom did you ever see killed by electricity?"
 "Why," replied Florence, an ag- grieved expression coming over her face, "it was the other afternoon up ill liar lem. l saw a cat run over by an electric car.'
 The other passengers tried not to smile, but it was too funny, considering that the girl meant every word she said. Neither girl noticed the amusement of the other passengers, however, and Flor ence doesn't know yet of the amusement the passengers got out of her narrowing Axparience. New York Spn

The breath of chronic catarrh patient is often so offensive that he becomes an object of disgust. After time alteration sets in, the spongy bones are attacked, and frequently destroyed. A constant source of discomfort is the dripping of the purulent secretions into the throat some times producing inveterate bronchitis, which has been the exciting cause of pulmonary disease. The brilliant results by it's use for years past properly designate Ely's Cream Balm as by far the best and only cure. 9

NEW SERIES OF GAMES BEGINS
AT FOLEY,S THIS
WEEK.
HARRIS0N'S HIGH HANDICAP
OUGHT TO MAKE 1T A CLOSE CON-
TEST TO THE
END.
HIGH HANDICAP
WiimOt, Roberts, Thayer and Young
Foley All Get Strong Odds
From the Boy Champion.

Everything is now in readiness for
the opening game Of the 14-inch
balk line handicap, to commence this
week at Foley's. The entries and handi-
cap are: Harrison, scratch 300; Rob-
erts. ESQ., Wilmot, 1870; Thayer, $50; Fo-
ley Jr., 150. There is probability that
the old st. Paul man, Capen, may also
take part. If he does, it will be at $50,
same as Thayer and young Foley. With
the above handicap it is expected that
every game will make an exciting con-
test A table has been especially fitted
for the games and splendid display
of the beauties of the gentleman's
game should result from each meeting
on the cloth Of green. Harrison is do
ing better work and he will have to
continue in that way in order to be
successful with the handicap he is
called on to concede his very speedy
opponents, as they all are now in active
practice, excepting Thayer whose bust
ness of late is keeping him more or less
occupied.
The national shortstop 14-inch balk
line tournament will commence at Chi
cago on Jan. 18. IT will be the grandest
affair in billiards since the spring of
1891, when Frank Ives was brought to
the notice Of the general public
through his taking part in similar
affair. In this tournament the North
west will look to Hatley, of Duluth
formerly of st. Paul, to do good work
for this section of the country Sutton
and Caperon represent Canada, Maggi-
oil the South, Mclaughlin the East
and T. ]. Gallagher, the old-time news
paper man, will represent Chicago, and
should be the winner on form. Every
game will be bulletined at Foley's as
fast as played.
