Besides being so brave she is
extremely pretty. Her eyes are
dark aud fawn-like, with round
ed features and mass of waving
chestnut hair, which the little
fire girl wears parted loosely in
the middle and caught up at the
back of her head by plain black
velvet band.
A movement has now been
started, which, if carried into
effect, will see the brave and
quaint young woman the adopt

Firemen's Association.
We have had most everything

America, from Mary Ellen Lease
to women lawyers, BARRIERS and

Look about you! See for
yourself! Who suffer most
from sleeplessness, nervousness,
nervous dyspepsia, neuralgia,
despondency, general weak
ness? Who are on the edge
Of nervous prostration all the
time? Those who are thin,
Opium, ch1oraI bromides,
headache powders, only make
matters worse. Iron and Bit
ters are only stimulants. To
be cured, and cured for good,
you need a fat-making food.
You want new blood, rich
blood; and a strong nerve
tonic.
SCOTS EMULSION of

tissues, makes rich blood, and
strengthens the nerves.

W. 6, Hart

is an actor in every sense and of a
quality which our people see on the
local stage only too seldom, and in his
production of THE Man in the Iron
Mask last Monday he had the support
of full company of artists.
The common saying on the street
Tuesday was that it ranked among the
best performances given in our city and
it is only pity that the audience was
so slim. Should Mr.. Hart and his
company, however, ever return to Van
Buren they can be assured of crowded
house, for those who witnessed the play
Monday night will sound the praises of
his and his company acting to all their
friends.

error when it states that the supply of
water in Lees Greek for the city s use

is only running very little, takes time
to clear.

dread enemy of mankind consumption.
The weapon with which these men have
successfully combated this grim destroyer
has been DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t is the only known medicine
that will prevent and cure consumption
Taken in time, ii will always ward off this
deadly disease, and even after the devastat-
ing germs have attacked the lungs, it will
cure oS per cent. of all cases. 1t acts di-
rectly on the lungs building up new,
healthy tissues and driving out all disease
germs. 1t corrects all stomach and diges-
tive troubles, invigorates the liver and
makes the appetite keen and hearty. 1t is
the great blood maker, flesh builder and
nerve tonic. There is nothing else Just
as good and the druggist who says SO is
untrustworthy.
