WIS GOULD lNSHNK2
FINANCIAL WORRY AND PHYSICAL
NOT THE GREATEST
DESTROYER OF NJ LIFE.
For Humanfty's Sake. After Thirty
six Years of Nervc-Crecping
He Tells How He
Was Set Free.

CALDWELL, N. J.-(Special.)-One of our
prominent citizens, S. J. Gould, who has
suffered terribly from tobacco tremens, has,
in behalf of humanity, made known his
frightful experience. In his written state
ment, which is attracting widespread atten-
ton, he says: 81 commenced using tobacco
at thirteen; / am now forty-nine; so for
thirty-six years 1 chewed, smoked, snuffed
and rubbed snuff till my skin turned a
tobacco-brown and cold. sticy perspiration
oozed from my skin, and trickled down my
back at the least exertion or excitement.
My nerve, vigor and my life were being
slowly Slapped. / made up my mind that l
had to quit tobacco or die. l tried to stop
tobacco time and again, but could not. 1
saw double and my memory was beyond nv
control, but l still knew how to smoke and
chew, which l did all day until toward night,
when my system got tobacco-soaked again.
Finally I gave up in despair, as 1 thought
that l could not cure myself.
"Now. for suffering humanity, I'll tell
what saved my life. Providence evidently
answered my good wife's prayers and brought
to her attention a booklet called: Don't
Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away!
What a sermon and a warning in these
words! Just what I was doing. 1t told
called No-To-Bac. / sent to Druggist Has
Ter for a box. Without a grain of faith |
spit out my tobacco cud and put into my
mouth a little tablet upon which was
stamped NO-lO-bdC. L KNOW IL SOUNDS ike
a lie when l tell you that l took eight tab
lets the first day, seven the next. five the
thirdday, and all the nerve-creeping feeling,
restlessness and mental depression was gone.
1t was too good to be true. 1t seemed like
a dream. / used one box. 1t cost me 81,
and it is worth a thousand. I gained ten
pounds in weight and lost all desire for to-
bacco from the first day. l sleep and eat
well, and | have been benefited in more
ways than l can tell.
| firmly believe No-To-Bac will cure any
case of tobacco-using If faithfully tried, and
there are thousands of tobacco slaves who
ought to know how easy 1t is to get free.
There's happiness in No-To-Bac for the
old men who think as I did that
they are old and worn out, when tobacco is
the thing that destroys their vitality and
1.-THE public should be warned, however,
the purchase of any of tho many imi-
tations on the market, as the success Of No
has brought forth a host of counter
letters and imitators. The genuine No-To-
BAG is made by the Sterling Remedy Co.,
Chicago, Montreal and New York, and sold
under a guarantee TO cure by all druggists,
and every tablet has the word No-To-Bac
plainly stamped thereon. You run no physi-
cal or financial risk in purchasing the genu-
Inc article"

AN ENCHANTED PIANO.
Makes Its Appearance at Hosp

Makes Its Appearance at Hospc's
Music store and Plays by Itself.
A piano that's surely enchanted has been
captured by Hospe, and is now being
guarded in the rear part Of the store.
This is no joke.
1t is a solemn, uncontrovertible fact; and
the thing has a habit of playing anything,
new or old. that it makes up its mind to,
and that the keys operate without the touch
of the human hand, producing music that
would make Paderewski cut his hair.
1t is a regulation piano of the Hallet &c
Davis ~make-only 1t has been hoodooed in
some way and plays whenever it takes a
notion.
Those who care to see and hear this Won
derful instrument will have an opportunity
tomorrow afternoon from 1890 to / o'clock,
when Mr.. Hospe promises a free concert
that will prove something Of a novelty.

An interesting feature of the Woman's
club meeting last Monday afternoon was
the manner in which the younger members
cleverly, though comically, initiated the Of
ficers of the club.

wrap, called the meeting to order until its
close the members were greatly entertained
and amused. They could almost see them
selves as others saw them.

singing of Mr.. Thomas ]. Kelly. His bari
tone voice was heard to advantage in a

EIIxs Remember Their Dead.

At a regular communication of Omaha
lodge No. 80. Benevolent and Protective
order of Elks. held Friday evening, March
20, the following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That Omaha Lodge No. 80, Be
nevoient and Protective Order Of Elks. has
heard with deep regret and profound sorrow
of the death of a dearly beloved brother,
Chester Hulett, who has been a pillar of
strength in the lodge since its organization,
having been one of its charter members, ana
his removal from our earthly fellowship by
the dispensation of the Grand Exalted Ruler
of all is a loss irreparable, and that as a
mark of respect and love the following
tribute be spread upon our records and a
COPY be transmitted to the family Of our
brother, attesting our great grief at his loss
and our most heartfelt sympathy for them.
He was unwavering in his fidelity to every
obligation that he took upon himself when
ne became an Elk. In social and private
life he was possessed Of those rare and
graceful qualities that endure unimpaired
through all the passing years. His generous,
genial and manly spirit added to the charm
of his exquisite companionship, made captive
Of each individual heart. His delightful dis
position endeated him to all. Nowhere could
his enemies be found, and his friends were
everywhere. AS a business man, by up
rightness in every dealing, he held the conf
dence of all with whom he came into daily
commercial contact. 1t is sad to think that
IL ~ 81 sOOu duu USplul, So DTlSHL anu
cheerful, always ~diffusing in its pathway
warmsst rays of sunshine. the very spirit of
kindly sympathy and gladness, should ever
close. He has passed forever out of the
lodge room, but the fragrant memories of
his too brief life with us will never be for
gotten until we shall each and all have fol-
lowed him to the everlasting companionship
with the Elks eternal.
We have wrapped the drapery of his couch
about him and his steep Is calm and dream
less, and we who mourn him can but bow
with resignation to the INT that called
him away and keep alive the memories so
sacred to us all. In the words of Antony
over Brutus
His life was gentle,
And the clements
SO mixed in him, that nature might stand I'D
And say to all the world,
This was a man.
