A Winter Bath
in W White River
WHAT CAME OF BREAKING THROUGH THE ice
ina WISCONSIN River In FEBRUARY,

Five years ago last winter. there was con-
siderable commotion on the banks of the
White River, Wisconsin, as young man
named Z. n. Halleck, had broken through
the ice, and was for some moments lost TO
view. 1t was not long, however, before Mr..
HalleclS came in sight again, and by artistic
means was fished from the fluid and restored
to society. Ii the ducking had been all, ii
would have been well, but unfortunately,
the young gentleman contracted q heavy
cold, resulting in chronic rheumatism, CON-
plicated with disease of kidney and urinary
organs.
"For six months" writes Mr.. Halleck,
/" L was laid up, and not able to do anything.
During this time / suffered with pains in
the stomach and small of the back, and
headache, urination was frequent and pain
full, my hearts action was increased, and |
had aches all over my body, and was gener-
ally used up. Then ] was able to go out,
but was a confirmed invalid, and for nearly
four years | was in that condition, and ex-
pected then that l should always be disabled

In December, 1895, | read an advertise
ment about DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and

she said she believed they would cure me. /

Making Cider Vinegar.

First have good, strong, iron
hooped barrel. Next have good apple
cider. Cover the bungholes with
mosquito netting or other material
that will keep out the flies. The bungs
ought not to be put in, except tenn
porarily, for at least a year. Keep
the vinegar barrel in the garret or
other place where the air is warm and
and sultry. The cellar is bad place
in which to make vinegar. To hasten
fermentation occasionally turn the
cider out of one barrel into another,
thus exposing it more fully to the air,
and by adding q gallon of strong
vinegar or little "mother' to each
barrel. There are other methods by
which the process may be hastened
still more, such as trlckling it though
beech ships or shavings; but these are
hardly to be recommended for those
who are content to wait on the ma
tural process rarely fail to find them
selves amply repaid through the hlgl
value of their product.

in this regard. 1t will be needful,
therefore, that missionary work be
done among the boys, and I make
the suggestion, gentlemen, that nick
els expended in treats to the boys
now, will return in dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been form
ed. Above all things, create appe-
tite!'
Such a statement seems absolutely
fiendish, and yet, whether spoken or
unspoken, the fact remains that the
traffic exists only by recruits from
among the boys. Wanted, a hund-
red thousand boys" must be the CON-
slant motto of this infamous business,
that a few may grow rich and their
children live in luxury while their
patrons go down to the lowest depths
of degradation and proverty.
Such frank statement ought, to
arouse parents to take the proper
steps to protect their children from a
Moloch, beside whom the ancient
minotaur of Crete who fed on young
men ard maidens from Athens was a
patron saint Union Signal.
In the face of this unspeakable
fate threatining our boys, can we re-
main inactive?
But the enemy is SO powerful and
we SO powerless!'
The first part of this statement is
too sadly ture, but the latter? "If
God be for us who can be against us?

An observing man learns that a woman
who is physically weak and nervous and in
capable, is likely to be ill-natured too. The
sweetest temper is ruined by continual
sickness.
A woman whose nerves are constantly
racked and dragged by debilitating drains
and Inflammation, cannot be genial COM
panion or happy wife and she is totally
untitled to be mother.
These troubles prevail almost universally
among women largely because of careless
ness and neglect. There is no real need of
them. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription IS
a positive specific for the weaknesses and
diseases of the feminine organism.
1t cures them radically aud completely.
It heals, strengthens and purifes. IT is the
only scientific remedy devised for this spe-
cial purpose by an educated, skilled physi-
clan II is the only medicine that makes
motherhood easy and absolutely safe.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been q
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed tc
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re,
moval of the gland Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan it's use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had 1 only used your S.S.S. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma'
nently.
