opium and WHISKY Habits.

The letter quoted below, written March
%, 1896, by the editor and manager of the
Sheffield, Ala, Standard, leaves no room
to doubt that successful treatment for
the cure of the liquor habit exists
"Dr. B. M. Woolley, Atlanta, Ca: Your
antidote for the liquor habit will do all you
claim for it. After drinking whisky for
more than twenty years / find myself en-
tirely relieved of the accursed appetite
through the use of three bottles of your

liquor habit, and leaves no bad effects.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the, country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

John Grant was discouraged and dis
beartened, yet for his wife's sake he had
tried to be cheerful that Easter morn
ing. When Sadie laid the little note in
his hand he opened 1t snd read, while
happy tears coursed down his cheeks:
Dear Brother: will let you have
the money to pay that mortgage. You
and yours may pay the interest in love.

learned to follow the risen Lord? Low

Tiny ydTu THAI sep
arated her cottage from the street. 1t
was the last day of March, but the air
was full of the magnetic influence of
spring. The grass was freshening while
in the bed of brown earth at the right OF
the walk hardy daffodils, jonquils and
one adventurous hyacinth nodded to
the passers-by.
Miss Grant sighed little impatiently
as she turned from the window. Her
neatly spread tea table stood waiting
There were solitary cup, saucer and
plate, each of rare old china. The sill
yer was massive, of the fashion of q
half century ago. There were slices OF
snowy homemade bread, all cut OF ex-
actly the same thickness, pot of gold
en- butter, chicken salad, milk, glass
of amber jelly, and sugared doughnuts
1t looked tempting. But the cloud
did not lift from Miss Grants face as
she brought the steaming teapot from
the kitchen and seated herself for her
evening meal. She bowed in silence for
q moment. Then, adjusting her nap
Kin carefully over her neat black cash
mere, she said to herself:
"And to-morrow's April FOOLS day
too! AS if there wasn't enough to
bother without that! For the fact of
it's being Sunday won't make any diff
ference with those unruly boys. Well,
if they attempt to play any tricks upon
me they'll suffer, that's ALL"
Had the most daring urchin in Glen
vile beheld the scowl upon Miss Sarah S
face he would have hesitated long before
attempting to fool her. She creamed
her tea and slowly buttered slice OF
bread.

claimed moment later. ITO think that
a Grant should have his home sold on a
mortgage. I'm glad our father didn't
live to know it,"
Miss Sarah had devoted the earlier
part of the afternoon to making calls. 1t
was at Mrs. Atherton's that some one
had spoken of John Grant, Miss Sarah's
only brother. There was an awkward
pause, then dear old Grandma Atherton
said, gently:
Sarah, you will pardon your moth
er's friend if she tells you something.
Johns home is to be sold on the mort
gage in three weeks. Did you know it %
NO." was Miss Grants uncompro-
missing reply.
1T is too bad" grandma went on,
after a moment. HE mortgaged 1t to
get money to take his wife to New
York for medical aid. 1t did her no
good, poor thing. Well, times are hard
and a man with an invalid wife and six
small children finds it almost impos-
sible to live on clerks salary"
There was no softening of Miss
Sarah's face. After few minutes she
stiffly bowed herself out. Grandma
Atherton watched her pass down the
street, troubled expression on the
usually placid old face.
Pm so sorry" she said, shaking her
silvered head. Sarah could so we'll af.
ford to help John. She has been grow

This was the subject Miss Sarah was

tea table. 1t was 20 years since the
death OF her parents. The family
