How to Look Good.

Good looks arc really mora than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy Con-
ditlen of all the vital organs. If the liver
be inactive, you have bilious look; if your
stomach be disordered, you have dy:peptle
look; if your kidneys be affected, you have
a pinched look. Secure good health and
you will surely have good looks. "Electrlc
Btters'' is a good alternative and tonic.
Acts directly en- the stomach, liver and kid

seems to still bear fruit. An
adultery case being tried at Salem
required the testimony of James
Skipton, x-nightwatchman, as
