A foul breath is one of the greatest
Affections that man or woman can
have An atfiiction not only to them
selves, but to those with whom they
come in contact. A foul breath is
great aiscourager of affection. Itwouid
probably be more so if people only
realized just what bad breath means.
Bad breath is one of the symptoms Of
constipation. Some of the other symp-
toms are sour stomach, loss of appetite,
sick and bilious headache, dizziness,
heartburn and distress after eating.
These things mean indigestion. They
lead to dyspepsia and worse things.
They all start with constipation, and
constipation is inexcusable because it
can be cured-cured easily, quickly
and permanently, by the use of DIR.

Drs. Downing q Co. have proven
that long standing diseases can surely
be cured by the new treatment. They
have demonstrated that the science of
medicine is advancing with other
sciences That diseases and deformi-
ties which a few years ago were looked
upon as incurable, respond readily to
modern scientific treatment. In COM
parison to the old methods which are
generally practised, the Downing
Treatment indeed, seems little less
than marvellous. A person who has
suffered for years with some disease
which makes life burden, who has
consulted many physicians and taken
their medicine, has also taken innumer-
able patent nostrums and medicines,
without getting any substantial or last
ing benefit becomes discouraged and
believes his condition incurable. When
such person is, in a short time, a few
months, or few weeks, restored to
health and vigor, and can again enjoy
the sweetest pleasure of life he almost
believes his restoration was miracle.
Drs Downing & Co. have had many
patients who can testify to such an ex-

He Was Made u Sergeant.

A pretty story, savoring of the ro-
mantle. is Told In the French press
about the kaiser. Recently his ma
jesty went to the Berlin barracks
alone. The corporal on guard recog-
nized the kaiser Immediately, and sa-
luted him. The kaiser was pleased,
and, approaching the, soldier, said:
"Why do you look 80 sad, corporal?'
The corporal did not reply. The cm.
peror then asked IL he was disappoint-
cd in love. AT this the corporal found
his tongue, and replied that he wished
to marry Marguerite, the daughter Of
his sergeant-lnajor.. but that her faith
or would not. give his consent until he
became sergeant. Sand do you love
her very muchT" asked the kaiser.
"Oh, yes" was the reply. "Then,"
said the emperor, "go and tell your
future father-in-law that William IL.
makes you sergeant"

Christmas Bells,

The story OF the bell is part Of the
history of the Church further back
than the beginning of the Christian
era, for we read that the robe of the
high priest in the tabernacle was
trimmed with little gold and silver
bells. These must, of course, have
been very small, and of use chiefly as
ornament. Just when or by whom
the church bell, as we know it now,
was introduced into Europe, is mat.
ter of dispute. This distinction is
claimed for Paulinus, Bishop of Nola,
who lived about 400 A. d., but it has
also been attributed to one of the
early popes. In England the Vener-
able Bede refers to church bells, and
it is a matter of record that in $50 the
Abbot of Croyland placed peal of
bells in his abbey; but it was not until
after the Reformation that bells were
placed in all the churches, and the
custom of ringing them on all Church
festivals caused England to be known
as the land of bells and bellrlngers.
Bell music seems to have partic-
ular charm for northern peoples, and
the great bell countries of Europe are
Russia, Belgium and England. Rus
sla is the land OF big bells. In the
city of Moscow there are over four
hundred bells, which join their voices
in single grand harmony on the
great festivals of the Church. They
range from the little two-foot bells of
some of the smaller peals to the mighty
bell of St. Ivan's Church, which weighs
fifty. seven tons. Its clapper weighs
4,2oo pounds, and requires three men
to move it. The bell is rung but
three times year. Larger even than
this, though it has long been silent, is
the great bell which stands in the
courtyard Of the Kremlln, the largest
ever cast. This bell was made for the
Empress Anne in 1884. 1t is Ell feet
high, 81 feet in circumference, and
weighs 1913 tons. While it was being
hung it crashed to the ground, and
huge piece was cracked from one side.
The bell is now used as a chapel, the
