THE DREADED CONSUMPTION.
T. A. SlOCUM. M. c., THE GREAT CHEMIST
AND SCIENTIST. WILL SENT FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED, THREE BOTTLES
OF HIS NEWLY DISCOVERED REM
ECIEs TO CURE CONSUMPTION

OF HIS NEWLr DlSCONEhEORE NJ
ECIES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more phi1an-
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of
1888 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make it's great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late Address
T A. Slocum NJ c, eS Pine street, New
York and when writing the Doctor, please
give express and post office address, and
mention reading this article in The Mid
land Journal.

Reading Newspapers on Sunday.

1t is very unusual to hear a preacher
refer to the Sunday newspapers with
out censure; much more unusual to
hear them speak of the Sunday news
papers with approval. The Rev. Doc
tor L. S. Osborne, rector of Trinity
Episcopal Church in Newark, N. j.,
recently addressed a meeting of the
Wednesday Club of that city, and in re-
ference to newspapers said that as far
as Sunday papers are concerned, there
is no reason for not reading them
any more than there Is not to read
Saturday papers as long as they do
not interfere with a mans religious
duties. He does so, he said, and so
do some of his parishioners. While he
did not like papers ''prying into person.
al affairs and family history" he con-
sidered them necessary adjunct 10 the
affairs of life. The proper function
of the newspaper, like that of the pull
pit" he added, lis to have high, deep
and broad views of men and things of
the world at large"

PINT Knots in Your Veil.

In buying veil the other day the
salesgirl gave bit of information very
useful. She took the veil. stretched it
out full length and tied a knot in each
end, and then one in the center of one
side to fit over the hat brim. The
knots in the end keep the veil in place,
and so make the veil last longer and
look better. Besides, it is very much
easier TO arrange such a veil.

BOOTS AND SHOES.
Some Very Clerer Novelties Among the
Latest Fashions.

Latest Fashions.
There are some clever novelties in
boots and shoes. A broad buckle is
becoming to the foot, but hitherto has
had this disadvantage-th it does not
admit of any fastening, the buckle be-
ing strictly ornamental. Now, howev-
er, couple of Invisible buttons have
been introduced at the side, which keep
the fronts firmly on the foot. Satin
that those who study economy are US
ing colored kid in preference; and they
are sold in all the most delicate shades
the lightest green and the softest ce-
rulean blue-the toes being entirely
covered with beads, paillettes, and tin
sci all of the same shade. Those who
prefer simple footgear have only sin
gle buckle on the instep; but satin
shoes of all shades are embroidered in
the same way. Colored glace kid is
more subtitle and softer to the foot than
morocco, and consequently is being
used for the fashionable red shoes. For
good hard walking boots porpoise hide
is found the best, especially for golf
ing, damp and mud having no effect
on it. For town wear and bad wealth
er French calf shoes and boots, with
extra thick soles, answer every pur-
pose. Notwithstanding the advertise
ments and announcements which greet
us on all sides, there is never anything
very new in practical boots and shoes
destined for hard wear, the variety
simply lying in the amount of brogu-
ing and some slight difference in toe
cans.
