THE LENTEN SEASON

is about over. but ham and egg season
has just begun and, without; joking,
what is more delicious than nice fresh
eggs. especially so when served with
Dold's sugar cured hams and bacon,
after being fried in Dold's White Clover
lard-eh? OF course some of our COM
petitors might say there are others, but
we know there is none better. Strictly
fresh hen fruit, dozen for % cents, and
Dold Eagle hams and bacon, 9 cents per
pound. What is as nice and what can
be as cheap.

Separating the sexes In Church.


I read in the Bristol Mercury a COM
plant of gentleman who visited with
his wife his parish church (St. Simon's,
Bristol. On entering and taking a seat
by his wife he states that he was told
that 1t was against the rules of the
church for man and wife to sit together.
He, however. sat on. The clergyman went
up to him and urged him to move 10
the other side On his still sitting on,
the clergyman informed him that If he
would not leave the church the service
would not commence. Stil he sat on,
when the organ was stopped, and the
clergyman made a speech in which he
stated that there was a gentleman at
the back Of the church out Of his place,
and that the service would not proceed
so long as he was there. Seeing that
his wife was getting nervous. the gentle-
man left the church with her. Is this
legal? Has not a parishioner a right OF
way into his parish church. or is this
only a right If he conforms to every silly
folly which may be ordered by the cler-
gyman in charger Why is the Church
of England, some Of whose members only

opinion that man and wife are one that

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
sfaction.-Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia, Among the many thou
sands who have used it for cold and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or who have reason to fear an
attack of pneumonia, should keep the
remedy at hand. For sale by all drug
gusts and dealers. Benson, Smith &
Co., wholesale agents for II. I.
