The question: "Is consumption cura.
blea" is still debated, and still debatable.
1t is easy to say that this was not a case OF
consumption. Yet the physicians said It
was. They should know. As matter
Of fact, Dr.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral has
wrought SO many similar cures that it
seems to argue the curableness Of con-
sumption in its earlier stages, by the use
OF this remedy. There is no better medi-
cine for pulmonary troubles than Or.
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t gives relief in
cases Of Asthma, and Bronchitis, where re
lief has been heretofore unattainable. 1t
prom pity cures Coughs and Colds, La
Grippe, and all affections Of the throat
and lungs. Heretofore DR.. Ayers Cherry
Pectoral has been put up in full SIZE
bottles only, at sI.oo per bottle. To meet
a worldwide demand for a smaller pacE-
age, the remedy is now put up in half size
bottles. at half price-So cents. Write for

It was almost noon on Christmas day
when the through express pulled into
Starvation Junction six hours late.
Desolate and dreary as the station ap-
peared. the travel-worn and hungry
passengers were glad to see it. as they
had been informed they could procure
refreshments on their arrival, as no
other opportunity had presented itself
to satisfy their hunger since the pre-
vious day.
The storm which began in the night
had developed into the unmistakable
blizzard so much hated and feared by
ali who travel by rail. The engine had
done all that iron and steam could do
against it's inveterate foe, but in spite of
gallant efforts the blizzard seemed to be
getting the best Of the battle. and for
some time before the train pulled up at
the station the iron lungs of the engine
seemed to labor with painful effort as
it plowed it's way through the drifts.

The Life Saving Service

Since the organization OF the
Life Saving Service, in conform
ity with Act Of Congress, ap-
proved June IS, 1873, it has no
rival in point Of promotion, I'M
provement and indispensable
importance. 1t has saved the
lives of hundreds, and has given
employment to thousands, and
is now only passing through Its
period of infancy, gradually adj
vanc1ng toward the summit, to-
where it will eventually occupy
front position III the ranks OF
all the organizations and sys-
TENS established by our govern
ment. While there are hun
dreds Of our countrymen, resld-
ing back into the interior, who
know nothing of the Importance
of the Life Saving Service, and
may look upon the whole sys>
tenn as a nuisance, yet there are
thousands of our fellow country
men, besides thousands OF others
of the different nations of the
earth, whose lives and property
have been saved by the un>
daunted bravery and herolsln of
the life savers, many Of whom
unquestionably owe their lives
and their fortunes to the Lite
Saving Service. And there are
hundreds Of women and chill
dren i'll most every civilized
country in the world, who could
not possibly have escaped the
misfortune Of being widows and
orphans, had it not been for as
sistance rendered by the occu-
pants of the Life Saving Stations
who many times have Jeopar-
died their own lives i'll attempt
inc to rescue their fellow men
from the exposures and dangers
in which they have been placed.
And as the life saving service
has grown and advanced to such
an height of grandeure and i'm
portance and is so noble per>
forming the duties Of its mission
the time is fast coming aud now
is, when those employed i'll the
life saving service, who are
marching forward with the BAN
ner of the life saving service,
with such undaunted bravery
and heroism that they should or

There is no better way by
