welcomed in so many intelligent, pru-
dent homes where pains is taken to get
only the best in so vital matter. In
such families all over the country
Paine's celery compound is the first,
last and only remedy used.
Prof Phelps had studied the nerves
in health and disease, when well
nourished and when under-nourished
iii men and women and children years
before he looked for the remedy. Paine's
celery compound is the outcome of his
entire professional life. 1t is the one
remedy that the world could not lose
today at any price.
Paine's celery compound induces the
body to take on solid flesh.
Physicians recognize Paine's celery
compound as the one scientific spring
remedy, and it is universally prescribed
by them wherever there is great need
OF vigorous and prompt restoring of
health and strength to the worn-out
system.
Paine's celery compound is the best
spring remedy because it is more than
mere spring remedy. 1t brings about
a healthy appetite, complete digestion,
regular action of the bowels and the

other eXcretory organs whenever taken,
whether in summer or in winter, but
as the greatest of spring remedies it has
extraordinary opportunities for induc-
ing the body to throw off morbid bu-
mors that poison it and cause rheuma-
, tlsm, neuralgia, neart trouble and a
general low state of the health. as in
spring the system is more pliable and
chronic diseases so securely lodged in
the system that they are with difficulty
ousted, become more tractable.
Thousands of men and women have
found from personal experience that
Paine's celery compound makes people
we'll, and keeps all from sickness who
take it in the spring.
Many a father and mother have no
ticed the unmistakable improvement in
the health of their children from tax
ing Paine's celery compound in the
spring. 1t is the one scientifically ac-
curate remedy fitted by its composition
to thoroughly purify the blood and dis
pei that exhausted feeling and get rid
of skin diseases, headache and fits of de-
preston with which children with
weak, nervous systems, as well as grown
people, are afflicted

Use the Only Spring Remedy in the World That has
4 Stood Every Test Of Time.
PA|NE'S CELERY COMPOUND Makes ONE we'll.

In March, April and May use Paines
celery compound.
And only Paine's celery compound!
For it is natures remedy.
Do not for moment confound it
with any of the ignorant, catchpenny,
short-lived patent remedies-sarsapa-
rillas, nervines and tonics that bear as
much resemblance to Paine's celery
compound as the parasite vines do TO
the oaks that they live on.
Paine's celery compound cures dis
ease. 1t makes people well. 1t has
saved the lives of thousands of suffer-
ers. 1t makes the weak strong.
1t purifes the blood and enriches the
fneryes.
Every condition of winter life has
been detrimental to health. There has
been a steady decline in nervous vigor.
;Now that spring comes the body is ready
to cast off unhealthy tissues if it is only
given chance. This opportunity comes
when the excretory organs, kidneys,
skin and bowels are made to work ac-
lively and the nerves are able to fur
nish sufficient energy to the digestive
organs.

This Very Day the Rappings ON
Mrs. Fulmer's Table
We're Heard Distinctly by All
the Members of the Family.
Pathetic Story Of an Old Farmer Who
Thought it Might be His
Son Jim.

The mahogany bric-a-brac table still
stands in the parlor of the fiat at 1927
Monroe street, and the mysterious rap
pings upon ii still continue
Thursday afternoon the raps were
heard by Miss Bertha Fulmer. Friday
morning Mrs. Fulmer heard them while
preparing for breakfast. and today the
entire household was in the room when
they occurred.
The raDs have been heard regularly
for the past six months, and both Mr.
Stuart and Mrs. Fulmer are anxious to
secure an explanation, spiritualistic or
otherwise, for the distinct taps which
are heard almost daily on the mahog-
any bric-a- -bTac stand.
With the exception of several of the
people who live in that neighborhood,
no one who can give an explanation,
has vet called to view the mysterious
table or attempted an explanation of
the rappings.

what she termed a sort of wild eX-
preston on his face, and refused to
let him into the house, talking with
him through a screen door
He was apparently a, farmer from

who came to the door.
How did you know anything about
it2' asked Mrs. Fulmer in answer.
oh I hearn tell of it when 1 was to
town yesterday evenin', and 1 kept
thinking about it all the way home and
all the time last night when 1 wasn't
asleep. When l got up this morning,
twas the first thing I thought of, and
I just made up my mind that I'd come
in and have a look at it. Is it a pretty
tail table2" he asked.
Not very tall" replied Mrs. Full
Has it four shelves and sort of
whirIagigs cut in the sides, and is the
bottom shelf cracked?'' he persisted.
NO, the bottom shelf isn't cracked,
and I don't think there are any whirl-
agigs on the Sides" Mrs. Fulmer an
swered.

My Jim grew up to be a young man,
and then one day a workin' in the hay

he was a little boy tOddlin' round the

national reputation were interested
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Yale SO, pre-
sided.
Each debator took twelve minutes in
opening and five minutes in a rebut-
tai.
YaIe's strong attack on Harvard's
session of the Hawaiian Islands would
strengthen this country from a STRAIT
egic point, but that the possession of
the islands would weaken her and
cause her a vast item of expense in de-
Tending them
After the debate, the judges, who
were w. b. Hornblower and J. J. Nc
Cook of New York city, and Prof. w.
B. McMurray of Columbia university,
were in session but Is minutes when
they rendered their decision, and the

Just so. I didn't 'spose you did. But
