MILKTODDY HAIL.
Singular Names in Kent County and
Their Origin

Chestertown, Md. Feb. 6.-The tsa ing

God Smith known as "Milktoddy Hal"
recalls one of the most interesting char
acters in the local history of Kent county.
God Smith" and 'Milktoddy Hal are
curious names. and here is the curious his
tory Of their origin.
Kent county, like every other inhab' able
spot on the globe, has always had manv
members of the numerous Smith family.
Nathan Smith married Miss God. and TO
distinguish him from all other Smiths, he
was ever afterward known as God
Smith,
"Milktoddy Hail. Well, the story goes
that God Smith" had serious stcms ch
trouble, rendering it impossible for b m to
take any solid food So a liquid dist was
determined upon, and milk toddy as the
particular liquid. In over fifteen years he
never took a mouthful of any kind or of
other liquid than milk toddy. Ii he left
home the ever present bottle of milk toddy
went also; if he stayed at supper or din
ner, he took his place at the board. but
milk toddy took its accustomed place at
his plate and the toddy constituted his
only refreshment. After fifteen years of
thriving on his chosen diet he detarm ned
to venture on bit Of solid food. But with
the experiment came death. The weakened
stomach gave way and God Smith," the
proprietor of "Milktoddy Hail." passed
away.

Magistrate, Or Burgomaster, of Berlin,
Herr Kirschner, former under burgomas-

He was lately voted chief burgomaster.
The nomination, however, needs the Kali

have been in Office in October last, but the
imperial signature is lacking.
Herr Kirschner though elected mayor.

fathers are wondrously astonished at this

usual symptoms are a full or bloating SEN
sation after eating, accompanied some

There is often a foul taste in the mouth.
coated tongue and Il the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, iniamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment and
frritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to do.
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared
According TO DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each

Mr.. N ]. Booher of 2710 Dearborn ST.
Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membran
of the nose becomes infamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches thr
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
for me for three years for catarrh Of stom-
ach without cure, but today i am the hap-
piest of men, after using only one box OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. i cannot find
