Poor and Weak
Catarrh and Bronchial Trouble
Had no Appetite Now Better in
Every Way-A Delicate Child

"Some time since l took a sudden cold
and could not get rid of it. Being subject
to catarrh and bronchial trouble 1 coughed
terribly. 1 lost my appetite and grew
poor and weak and I did not feel like
work. began taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. In a short time the cough disap-
peared, slept well, had a good appetite
and / was better in every way. Last
spring was not feeling well, had no APP
petite and no strength. 1 resorted to
Hoods Sarsaparilla and soon felt more
like work. My little nephew was deli
cate child and had a humor which trou-
bled him so he could not rest at night.
He has taken a few bottles of Hoods Sar-
saparilla and now he has good appetite
and is able to Sleep" Miss ABBIE j.

FORGOT WHERE HE WAS.
And I'm His BewfIderment the Deacon
betrayed y Family
Secret.

Deacon Puffy is q pillar of church
and society in one of the townships.
He has passed the age of his greatest
activity, but his desire to do good IL
as manifest as ever, and any weakness
of the flesh Is largely due to the fact
that he carries so much Of Il, says the
Detroit Free Press.
While the deacon reads of the suffer
ing Cubans and the movement to send
them relief, he at once sent word
around that there would be a meeting
at the district schoolhouse to talk over
the situation and raise means for the
good cause. There was a goodly gath
ering, and after the deacon had put the
machinery in motion he settled back in
his seat to hear from the several others
who left like relieving their minds. The
fire in the big box stove was hot one;
there was lack of proper ventilation
and when the usual bedtime for the
deacon had arrived he dropped gently
| asleep.
Shortly after this occurred there was
some important point to be settled, and
the chair expressed a desire to hear
from Deacon Puffy. His wife quickly
rose to the emergency and gave her
husband pinch that was emphasized
by twist.
"Ouch!" shouted the deacon. "Quit
that, Betsy. Get up and kindle the
| fire yourself; I'm sick this mornin'."
BY the time that order had been re-
| stored the deacon was wide awake md
In his confusion doubled the liberal
subscription he had already made for
| the benefit of the sufferers.

PECULIAR CHICAGO HABIT.
a Great Many Citizens Away. Go TO
the Left I'm Entering or Leav-
ing Buildings.

Chicago enjoys the exceptional dis
tinction of being the only left-handed
city in the union. That is, the good peo-
pie of this busting metropolis violate
all the rules of the road" so far as the
matter of keeping to the right is con-
cerned when entering or leaving public
buildings. IL man, for instance, ap-
proaches a building where the entrance
consists of two swinging doors, he will
invariably reach out with his left hand,
pull open the left-hand door and make
a wild dash to get outside, running the
risk of collision with anybody who re-
members that to go to the right is the
first law of navigation on land, SAYS the
Chicago Chronicle.
The habit of doing things the wrong
way has taken such firm hold on the
people that the man who uses the left
hand door and is run into glares in
amazement at the offender" utterly
oblivious of the fact that he himself Is
the one who should be blamed. 1t
makes no difference that there arc two
doors of equal width, one for entrance
and one for exit. lie, if going in, will
seize on the exit door and reverse the
proceeding If coming out. Half an
hours observation anywhere in the
business district will demonstrate the
truth of this assertion.

ONE BULLY LESS In TOWN.
A BrniDy Parent Who Hit Upon

But If you undertake to chastise a

Exactly what the father of the boy
on our street said to me when threat
ened to thrash the youngster. But
thought up little plan worth two of
that and got even."
"Give us the formula. Is it expen-
sive?"
"Not as expensive as q lawsuit or a
fine. One day few weeks ago my boy
came home crying, covered with mud
and bruises, and said the boy around
the corner had whipped him. This had
happened before, and when got home
the little fellow was in bad state, and
/ made up my mind it was time for me
to interfere. found that the bad boy
was the boss of the street, being older
ard larger than the others, and that he
tyrannized over the boys to such an ex-
tent that they were afraid to complain
of him. When called on his father he
treated the matter as a joke, and when
/ threatened punishment he grew angry
and dared me to lay finger on his son.

boys and found out just how affairs
stood in the neighborhood. Children
were afraid of the bad boy and parents

boys into band of vigilantes and

"Did the scheme work?" asked sew
cral in breath.
Il should say it did. The boys
worked Systematically and crew OF
them was always lying in wait to attack
the bully. The smallest one in the lot
would begin to badger him and the
others would come in as reinforce
ments. He was whipped so often and
took his defeat so much to heart that ]
was compelled to withdraw my Offer

A GINGER BAG.
This Little Feminine Invention MAY
Ward on Various Kinds
of MaIadies.

A ginger bag is said to be q pre-
ventive against and one of the best
remedies for bronchitis. 1t has been
found by many people to afford a speedy
and sure relief from headache. There
is no special pattern for making them,
but as they are TO be worn next the
flesh on the back of the neck and Shout
ders, one should be cut as wide as the
shoulders of the one who is TO wear ii
are broad. 1t should be rounded off
on the bottom and followed in on the
top to fit the neck.
So much for the pattern, and, having
the pattern, cut two pieces of cotton
cloth and a piece of sheet wadding (half
the thickness of the waddipg only by
it. Lay the wadding on one piece of
the cloth with the smooth side next the
cloth. Sprinkle the wadding literally
with common powdered ginger. Place
the other piece of cotton cloth on this
and then quilt it in tiny diamonds on
the sewing machine after the edges
have been turned in and sewn together.
If it is not quilted the ginger will all
fall to the bottom of the bag. Fasten at
the neck with tapes and tie as closely
about the neck as the clothing will con-
veniently permit.-Mrs. Inez Redding-
ton, in Good Housekeeping.

WOmen's Clothing.

Clothing should always fit properly,
says q correspondent. If they hang
loosely upon the wearer they will fail
to adequately protect her from chills;
while if, on the other hand, they are toe
tight, many evils may result from the
construction of the limbs, or-worse
still-of the internal organs. Tight
sleeves, carriers and boots are respon.
sible for many evils arising from i'm
pcded circulation, while no words can
be too strong in condemnation of the
ruinous practice of constructing the
waist by tight corsets. The lungs
heart and abdominal organs are al
thus pushed out of place, causing pres
ent misery and frequently inducing
permanent disease. Boots also are sell
dom made to fit the foot. If the reader
will stand barefoot upon sheet of pa
per, and mark the outline of her foot
with pencil, she will see at once how
little it resembles the shape of the fash
ionable narrow-toed boot. Clothing
to fulfill its purpose, should always be
made to fit the wearer-not the wearel
forced to accommodate herself to hel
rlothing.--N. Y. Ledger.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
supposed to be incurable For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

The board of health statistics for the
past year show this, for the number
of marriages effected in June is larger
than the record of any other month.
November pushes it hard for first place,
but June carries off the prize and is
therefore entitled to add orange bios
some to its beautiful robes of roses.
The fewest marriages take place in
August, says the Sun.
Nature is all a-smile in June. The
summer girl is in her glory. Seaside
and mountain wear new CARDS of joy.
Vacations begin. We don straw hats
and tan SHOES and negligee shirts and
feel freer, happier and more hopeful
than ever before. The gladness OF the
opening summer thrills us and 1t is
only the proper caper that, under the
circumstances, the love to which our
young mems fancies turned in spring
should now blossom into matrimony.
The falling off of marriages in Au-
gust is probably due to the summer
young mans bankrupt condition after
the gay out-of-town season, as the .n-
creased number of marriages in No
yember Is probably due to the fore
handed wisdom which prompts him to
marry in time to save the Christmas
gift he would have to make his wife
