A Common
Cold

and common carelessness can make
combination strong enough to defy
all the healing skill of the physician.
Common carelessness let's the cold
root and grow. Common carelessness
says, between paroxysms of cough
ing, ct will be all right in day or
two" and the common end is con-
frmed lung trouble, perhaps con-
sumption. The common-sense treat
ment of a common cold is a prompt
dose Of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. It
is the most efficient and reliable cure
for colds and coughs, and is con-
stantly prescribed by physicians.
s. HAYNES. NJ. D., Saransc, N. Y, says -
81 have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral inmy
practice since 1853, and have always found
It reliable for the cure Of colds, coughs, and
all lung diseases"

AN APPEAL !
By the Local W. G. 7. q. to President
Mckinley, Asking Him to Abolish
the Use of Alcoholic Stimulants in
the Army and Navy.

The following petition from the local
branch of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, which is self-explanatory,
has been forwarded to the President:
WHEELING, w. Va, July Is. 1898
To William Mckinley,
Executive Mansion,
Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Prestdent:-The undersigned mem
bers of the Womans Christian Temper
ance Union, together with others of the
same mind and purpose, of the city of
Wheeling, West Virginia, actuated by a
profound sense of patriotism that is sat
isfed with nothing short of the highest
good for our soldier and sailor boys. re-
specially petition you as chief executive
of our nation and commander in chief of
our army and navy, that you take such
steps as may be best known by you, for
abolishing the use of alcoholic stimulants
for the purposes of drink or beverage
among our soldiers and sailors, and more
particularly during the present struggle
with Spain.
Many of us are parents who have
cheerfully given over our sons TO the de-
Tense and enforcement of our national
honor and traditions, at no small sacri-
nee, ana reallZlng as we 90 tnaC possible,
nay probable death, is the meaning of
the sacrifice, we have at heart the high
est good of our noble sons and boys and
their comrades while absent from home,
and it's holy, ennobling restraints
To you, whom an appreciative people
has learned to esteem not only as its
worthy leader at a time when resistance
has been through blood, but as well also
as a Christian gentleman and statesman.
responsive to appeals in behalf of our
noble sons, sailors and soldiers, 1t is not
necessary that we set forth in detail the
motives that actuate US in presenting
this petition, for we feel that it will not
be to an ear that is deaf or to a heart
that does not feel with ours.
1t will afford us no slight pleasure and
satisfaction to have a reply from you
to our request, saying that it shall have
such consideration at your hands as its
object deserves, and as it may be in
your power to give.

UP IN ARMS.
The Druggists Object to Sustaining
the Entire Burden of the New In
ternal Revenue Tax :. Ask for
Cooperation of the Trade Elsewhere

The retail druggists in Wheeling are
up in arms against the payment by
them of the new internal revenue tax
upon proprietary medicines. They
adopted resolutions al a recent meeting
of their Association, which have been
published in circular form, and sent
out to the trade elsewhere, accompa-
MED by letter asking general CO.
operation in the movement to compel
manufacturers to at least share the
burden of taxation. They will be pub
lished also in the various trade jour
mails throughout the country.
The resolutions protest against the
advance in jobbers prices, which they
claim to be all out of proportion to
the cost of stamping; clair1 that the
manufacturers should bear the entire
burden; and declare the intention to
petition manufacturers Of proprietary
and toilet articles affected by the
stamp tax. While there is no hint OF
such an intention in the resolutions,
the druggists viii no doubt adopt
stronger measures if their prayer is
rejected by the manufacturers
Said a prominent retail druggist to
a Register reporter:-"The price has
been advanced more than the stamp
cost. Yet we cannot advance the price
I'd our customers. We could not ask
2S cents for quarter bottle OF medi-
cine, or $1.04 for dollar bottle. Ny
loss alone in the course Of . ye5f
would be at least $50"

Raids by wild Horses.

In the Arizona papers of late there
have been frequent complaints of
serious injury, both to crops and to
pastures, caused by the raids of wild
horses. Something like 10000 of
these creatures, it is estimated, are
now roaming the plains of that terri
tory, and they have become serious
nuisances. There is some cause for
surprise in the fact that at this late
day, even in Arizona, an animal alien
to the country can resume the habits
of his almost UNNECESSARILY remote
ancestors, and can multiply rapidly
without care or protection of any
kind. The horse in domestioation is a
rather delicate creature, subject to
many ills, and often hard to keep in
health, though watched with close
attention and allowed to want for
nothing whate&. When forced to
rely on his own resources however,
he shows a marked capacity for re-
suming the wild state and for guard
ing himself against enemies OF all
sorts. Ever since the days of the
Spanish explorers the horse at every
opportunity has demonstrated his lik-
ing for freedom and his adaptability
for meeting without aid the condi-
tions of life in the West and South.
Large herds were often seen years
ago, but that they should still find
room in the United States is really
notable. as proving that the country
is not nearly so we'll settled as the
opponents of immigration would have
us believe. New York Times.

women's Pockets.

Ladies' fifty years ago, when going
on a journey by stage coach, car
ried their cash in their under pocke cts.
There were no railways opened in
Wales then, and people who had not
close carriage either went in the
mail coach or in post ehaise. Far
mers' wives and market women wore
these large under pockets. Iremem-
ber my Welsh nurse had one wherein,
if she took me out cowslip picking,
or nutting, or blackberry gathering,
she carried bottle of milk and lot
of biscuits or a parcel of sandwiches,
often clean pinafore as well. Her
pocket on those occasions was like a

shnuInr on to Roxnltx.

The late George Won Bunsen, the
accomplished and delightful son of the
Baroness whose Life and Letters"
are we'll known in America, once told
me an anecdote of the late Princess
Mary of Teck and the celebrated Bant-
ing. The Princess became, in her
middle life, enormously stout, and
finding her weight burden, tried sew
eral methods of reducing it. At last,
having heard much of Banting, she
sent for him. She was surprised to
see that he was still extremely bulky,
and after few civil preparatory re-
marks, she said: ''But your system
has not made you very thin, Mr.. Bant-
ing"
"Allow me, madam" said Banting
and proceeding to unbutton his coat,
he disclosed a large wire structure
over which the garment fitted. Inside
was the real Banting, incased in an
other coat.
"'This, madam" said he, pointing
with pardonable satisfaction to his
cage, twas my size before / COM
menced dieting" He then nimbly
disembarrassed himself of his frame
work, and stood before the royal lady
exhibiting his elegant figurel
Apparently the interview led to
nothing but amusement, for the good
Duchess of Teck remained very stout
to the end of her days.
