Forc-Milk.

What is known as the fore-milk
usually contains many bacteria, while
the strippings are nearly or quite free
from them. Bacteria can enter the
canal of the teat and grow in the small
quantity of milk left in it at each milk

in great numbers by the first few
spoonfuls drawn. have found as high
as 100000 per cubic centimeter in
freshly drawn fore-milk, and in most
of the experiments 1 have made the
samples of fore-milk kept shorter
time than the samples drawn later. Tn
some cases, however, the fore-milk
kept sweet several days Tin one case
twelve days., Indicating that the bac-
terra that produced changes in milk
were very few in number in it. NV exs

Is Life Worth Livine2

If there is an individual on earth who
is excusable for thus interrogating him
self, it is the unhappy mortal who suf-
fers from malaria in some one Of its di-
abolical forms. This is no difficult con-
undrum, however. Life is worth liy-
ing by any man or woman who enjoys
good health, arc is not harrassed by a
reproachfol conscience. The malarial
scourge. heavily laid on, is a terrible
one for the poor sufferer to endure. A
series of freezings. screenings and
sweats-the last leaving one as limp and
as strengthless as dish rag, are hard
indeed, recurring as they do with
fiendish regularity. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is the worldwide known
preventive and curative of this class of
maladies. either in the form of ague and
fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague and
ague cake. Used with persistence they
will, rely upon it, eradicate disease
from the system. They also conquer
rheumatism, kidney and bladder com
plants, nervousness. dyspepsia, liver
complaint and constipation. and renew
failing strength.

The Wallace Shows.

There was a big time in the old
town Tuesday, when the great Wal
lace Shows held sway and drew the
farmer from his pillow and our town
folks from their workshops to see the
sights always presented on circus
day. At an early hour a big crowd
of people gathered at the Queen street
crossing of the B & o. waiting for
the circus to arrive and to see them
unload, then thecrowd scattered along
the streets to await the parade which
started about one O'Clock taking only
a short route as they were SO late in
arriving.
At the afternoon performance the
tent was packed and in the evening
only fair sized audience attended.
They gave good and clean exhibit
ton and one of the hest that has
visited Martinsburg in years. The
man who gives away $3.50 to 5000
day was there and caught number
of our close citizens who always try
to beat man at his own game.

SIoo Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able TO cure in all its stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

A New Era Of ReyixaIs.

Considering the ACCESSIBILITY of TAX
ing recreation and contem plating the
great need of the world, it looks as
though the church is getting ready
to fortify itself with great spiritual
power for telling work this fall and
winter upon the kingdom of Satan.
At great majority of the summer
resorts there are regular religious SER
vices, and special schools for bible
and religious instruction, whereby
many who are seeking rest and recre-
alton are gaining spiritual strength.
1t cannot escape the careful OBJ
server that there is at present a wide
spread anticipation of great relig-
ious awakening in the church. The
increase Of revivalists ard Of revival
campaigns, the immense and world
wide activities Of the Salvation Army,
the Y M. c. A., the Y. P. S. c. E.,
and many other organizations all
point in this direction. Is it not a
time when every minister should be
on the alert to catch, if may be, the
divine indications Of the duty of the
hour, in the signs of the times? May
the church put on its strength and
shout victory through Christl-Luth-
eran.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from inn
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back Of

ence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often.
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty tour
hours; sediment or settling indi-
