CHICAGO, March 25. 1S96.-Mr. W. w.
Watson's reputation throughout the West
for unerring judgment in the valuation of
land has made him foremost among the
most conservative, careful class of in
vestors in Chicago.
Unlike many hard driven business men,
the owner of tAlpine Heights that
splendid suburb of Chicago, has not ne
elected his health on account of his ex-
acting business. The following unre-
auested statement from Mr.. Watson shows
how consistent with his lifelong, careful,
conscientious and successful bushes hab-
its has been his attention to getting well.
He states in the .eTimes-Herald":@
Upon the recommendation of a friend
| used Paine's celery compound for
headaches. constipation, Indigestion and
loss of sleep, and found it all it was
recommended to be. 1 suffer no more
from headaches. sleep soundly at night,
ard am now in perfect health. This is
the only medicine that 1 have ever taken
for these complaints, which has bene-
flied me at ALL"
w. w. WATSON,
225 Dearborn street.
Busy men n women are apt to think
there is always time to get well.
The fact that only one person in a
hundred dies of old age shows how reck-
lessIy men and women postpone attending
to their health and allow it to go to
pieces while they devote themselves
heart n soul to affairs that are trifling
in COM srison. Wives and mothers have
no sgrea $ duty han to see that those
dear to lem do not become so absorbed
in the work of providing for the house,
hold as to lose their health and shorten
their days.
No more thoughtful step could be
taken during the spring days that are now
here than to urge such tired and often ir-
ritable home providers to take Paine's
celery compound. There are thousands

In a despatch from Wilmington. n. c.,
we find some interesting particulars as
TO a new form of church entertainment,
which Is said to be far more popular than
pink teas. It is called a "Hugging Bee
and 1t is said that as a debt-raiser or
party or a birthday celebration" The
cash is realized with the aid of the fol-
lowing schedule of prices
Girls, 1s years, 16 cents for a hug of two
minutes duration, or a short squeeze, 10
cents; from 16 to 20 years. 60 cents; from
20 to % years. 70 cents; school marms, 10
cents; another mans wife, S1.00; widows,
according to looks, 10 cents to $500.
We judge from this that the insidious
young person in her teens drew up the
tariff. She has made herself just cheap
enough to be attractive and not too cheap
for her dignity. The tariff on married
women is intended to have a Mckinley
effect upon their standing in the market.
The meanest shot of all. however. is at

sst rate, while the inclination of the aver
4Ee man to expect a bargain in second
hand wares is certain to keep the 10-cent
toll uppermost in his mind. Thus a hope
less difference is created between the
huggist and the huggee, and the widow
tages which she is supposed to enjoy in
such cases.
But, really, the highest price named in
the list is too low for the least of the at
fractions offered. 1t looks as if the
love of the fair creatures for marked
down. sales had overcome all other in
at the bargain counters may have con-
WINGED them that low prices are the sur
est to extract the last cent from the purse
of him who once yields to temptation.
There is hardly any man alive who would
not be led to mortgage his house to enjoy
in the fullest degree the seraphic oppor-
tunities which the Hugging Bee affords
at prices varying from thai of a cocktail
