In the new order of things there will
be an attempt to revive trimming with

one of the first of these models. Its

Brain Food Necessary.
From the Times, Troy, NJ Y
William q. Harrison, Jr., well-xnown
resident Of Berlin, tells the Times how he
was stricken With complication Of diseases
some time ago, being left, after his partial
recovery, a mental and physical wreck. Con-
sidering the fact that Mr.. Harrison was COLI
PEELED to use crutches, and has now fully
recovered so as to be able to put the crutches
aside, this was indeed an interesting case.
MIR. Harrison tells this story:
II am ffty-one years old. Three years
ago last March was taken sick with COM
pl1cation OF diseases; my doctor helped me
somewhat, but was left with nv left leg
swollen, there were purple patches on tho
inside Of the ankle and there was SCARCELY

they would hit my case, and neighbor, tell

made me decide to try the remedy; so ven

Pink Pills.
"For year had been able to do no man

time. but before I had taken half box Of

organs OF my body seem now to be doing

am In nearly as good health as had been

Mr.. Harrison was loud in the praises OF
DR.. Williams Pills, and he continues:

not had the pills should not have been here

Goose Fed Oh q Diamond.

Mrs. Robert Rosenthal, of East
Thirty.second street, recently became
the posseesor Of diamond Of consid.
erable value in a singular manner.
About five weeks ago she went to her
butchers and selected goose. It was
sent home and, ss she does not believe
in confding such matters to her
servant, she proceeded to open it. She
felt something hard under her fingers
and upon examination found what was
very much like diamond.
Mrs. Rosenthal did not at first sup.
pose it was a diamond, but to make
sure she took it to q friend who is a
Judge of precious stones. After in.
specting it he declared it to be a dia-
mond of excellent water, worth in the
neighborhood of $3.50. The goose did
not cost more than $3.50.
Mrs. Rosenthal said nothing about
her find outside the falcily for some
time, but finally the butcher heard of
it and visited her house to examine
the jewel. he said last night that it
had a small fragment of gold sdhering
to it as though it had been set in a
ring.
It is said that when he returned to
his shop he Immediately performed
autopsies on all the geese he had in
stock in the hope of discovering more
jewelry. de was not successful, how
ever. He could not remember where
he had bought the particular goose
which Mrs. Rosenthal purchased. 1t

Wholesale dealers wherever he can get
the best for his money.-New York

With better understanding Of the
w transient nature Of the many phys.
ical ills which vanish before proper eff.
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis.
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold BY all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the weu-informI everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
