DON'T GO IT BLIND.
There's No Need to in Augusta-Just Fol-
low Your Neighbor's Advice.

Have you ever read a newspaper
article a glowing account of some in
cident told in elusive words to lead You
on and found it ended up with pro-
prietary medicine advertisement? Made
you mad didn't it? And were you con-
WINGED of the merits of the article? We
think not, because it told the experience
of some stranger in far off town and
to take his word for it was like ''going
it blind" It's very different thing
when statement is prescribed from a
citizen; from people we know and that's
the case here.
Mrs. ]. w. Woodbury., of 81 S. Chest
nut ST., says: Both my husband and
can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as being everything that is claimed for
them. For two years 1 did not know
what it was to be free from backache.
I was distressed night and day and
could not straighten up or lift anything
without suffering twinges. I heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills and pro-
cured them of Chas. K. Partridge, the
druggist. They quickly cured me and
I have had no return of the trouble
since. My husband also used 'Doan's
Kidney Pills. He had been much
troubled with his kidneys and the
slightest cold always settled in his loins
and caused him at times the most in
tense suffering. Doan's Kidney Pills
quickly gave him freedom from the an
noying and distressing troubles. He is
feeling all right now in every respect
and we feel we owe all this to Doan's
Kidney Pills."

Coffee as a DiSinfectant,
New York Ledger.

New York Ledger.
The use of coffee as a disinfectant is
generally known, but it is doubtful if
the majority of people are aware of its
true value in this direction. They
probably know that it is handy and
harmless, but besides these qualities
it is really one of the most powerful
and effective agents known, as has
been shown by repeated experiments.
In one case quantity of meat was
placed in close room and allowed to
decompose. A chafng dish was then
introduced and 500 grams of coffee
were thrown on the fire. In O few
minutes the room had been entirely
disinfected. In another room the
fumes of sulphureted hydrogen and
ammonia were developed, and the
smell which no words can express
was destroyed in half a minute by the
use of 80 grams of coffee. As proc
that the noxious smells are really de
composed and not merely overpowered
by the fumes of coffee, it is stated tina,
the first vapors of the coffee are moi
smelled at all and are therefore chemi
cally absorbed, while the other smells
gradually diminish as the fumigation
continues. The merest "pinch" Of
coffee is usually sufficient to cleanse q
sick-room, even in aggravated cases.
The best way to employ it is to freshly
pound the coffee in a mortar, if nc
mill is at hand, and sprinkle it on q
redhot iron surface.

WHAT TO EAT.
Some Sensible Suggestions That

some sensible suggestions That
should BE Posted In Every House.
hold.
Aralstonite, writing in that excel
lent gastronomic journal, What to Eat,
makes a few sensible suggestions in
regard to the diet that ought to be
posted in every household. He says
that the healthic>t and purest lives
come from those who do not eat meat
before the age of l..
Potatoes, sliced thin and fried, are
indige>tible. While asting delicious
they afford no real nourishment and
cause arrangement Of the liver.
Cake clogs the stomach. All rich
pastry is poison to the liver. Soft
caramels and creams are also bad for
any one with liver at all rebellious.
When YOU get old look out for your
food. Do You ever notice that grand
fathers face is not as jolly as it used
to be? His strength of mind also
seems slowly disappearing, though he
is getting ileshier every day. He
needs change of food. Probably he
has been eating buckwheat cakes and
strip, white bread and butter, sugar,
fat meats, etc. Give him lean meat
and fish, crashed wheat and potatoes,
barley cakes, rye bread or southern
corn cakes. Try it, and instead of
moping and sitting round the house
all day you will find him running
around as lively as a cricket.
Maybe, on the contrary, he is grow
ing thin and pale. Then he needs
buckwheat and molasses, fat meats,
mashed potatoes in milk, northern
corn, cracked wheat and fish, oatmeal
porridge and fruits every morning.
All rules have their exceptions, and
the diet described for the mass may
not answer for exceptional cases, but
the following directions are good for
the majority:
Milk is the simplest and most nat
ural. If you cannot drink it, your
stomach is in a diseased condition.
Cheese is a good substitute, if mild,
fresh and made from pure milk and
cream. Persons who live mostly on
vegetables have the best nerves and
the best compilations. Red pepper is
an excellent condiment. Its effect
upon the liver is remarkable. Ma
laria, intermittent fever or congestive
chills cannot endure the presence of
red pepper. Pure red pepper (known as
cayenne) should be on every table.
Ill health is caused largely by inn
proper food or by food which is in a
bad condition when it is eaten.

keeping these delicate and important or
gans i'll healthy condition IS DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Thousands of women have testified to the
marvellous action of this remedy, More of
it is sold than of all other medicines for the
same purpose combined. 1t acts directly
upon the organs involved. 1t restores their
health and vigor. 1t prepares a woman for
the duties of motherhood. 1t 1nsures the
health of baby. 1t makes its advent easy
and almost free from pain. Women who
use it do not experience the usual disconi
forts of the period of CESSATION. 1t is the
most marvellous medicine ever known for
wives and mothers. 1t is the preparation
of an eminent and skillful specialist, DR.. r.
v. Pierce, who has been for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y. Women who wish to know more
about it should write him.
About six years ago my wife became afflicted
with female weakness" writes the Rev. I. J.
koppedge, of Elmo. Kaufman County. Texas.
she could not stand on her feet or get in any
position In which she did not suffer great pain.
She was naturally a strong woman. I had
several physicians to treat her without any per-
manent relief She despaired Of ever again be-
ing well. She saw advertisement Of your
'Favorite Prescription and spoke to me about
1t. 1 got her bottle of the medicine which she
she had taken six bottles Sine. taking the last
she has not suffered moment with the old
trouble. She has been well nearly twelve
months. The Favorte Prescription was all the
medicine she took. She is in good health and
we are happy"

HORRORS OF SHAVING.
Whether You DO II YnIrsc!f or Go to
Barber, There Are DANGERS.

Whether You DO II YnIrsc!f or Go to =
Barber. There Are DANGERS.
There is 4 story told of 4 i'rcnch no
bleman who. when he had been sliavco
in the morning, always heard the man
mutter: "Thank heavenr on leaving
the room. He inquired thecause. ut
is the money, my lord, you always
leave on your table over night flor he
was a gambler). Every morning say
to myself: 4 must cut his throat and
am truly thankful to have escaped the
temptation" After which confession
the nobleman shaved himself. 1t is
quite extraordinary how many people
and even poor people-employ BARRIERS
to shave them, partly from conscious
ness of their own clumsiness ("What
do you give the man who shaves you?"
inquired some one of Macaulay "Sev.
eral cuts on the face" was his reply,
but chiefly from their inability to strop
the razors. If there is an industry that
makes use Of old strops with cuts) !
shall be happy to supply them at whole
sale prices, says a writer in the Lon
don Illustrated News. That there is
no machine for stropping razors speaks
volumes for the power and intelligence
of the BARRIERS company.
Nevertheless, for man who has al.
ways shaved himself the employment
OF another person to do it for him
seems for the first time, apart from the
humiliation of being taken by the
nose, rather q serious business. One
wishes to make great friends with
him to start with, but the usual meth
DDS arc closed to us; genial conversa-
ton is out of the question-all the soap
is on his sidc--and we daren't offer
him liquor. 1t is the greatest conf
dence trick known to man. The per.
former may be an expert or he may
not; but it is certain that ut one time
or another these gentlemen must have
been new to their trade With whom
did they begin? With whom. indccdi
Dead men tell no tales. l ventured to
ask the question the other day Of q
professional. He replied. with some
confusion: 1--WE begin with one an.
other" and it was only the day before
that he had observed, with an air Of
pretended Indifference: 1--WE are rather
short-handed at the shop just now.

Tho ShAh,s Little Joke,

I'm an art exhibition Of London"
wrote the shah of Persia in the journal
he kept during his last visit to Europe,
1--WE were looking at painting repre-
senting an ass. asked: What is the
price of this painting?' The director Of
the exhibition, who was a corpulent
man, with a white beard, looked up
the price-list, and said: One hundred
English pounds which are equal to
two hundred and fifty Persian toman.
I answered: The price Of a live ass is
at the most five pounds; why should
this be so dear when it is only the pic
ture of an assP' The director replied:
Because it causes no expense and eats
neither hay nor oats said: Although
it causes no expense, it can, on the
other hand, neither carry burdens MOI
give . man q ride We both laughed.
