To the Minerva Company.
Dear Sirs:-Having taken your Tonic
at intervals during the past two years
[ have pleasure in being able to certify
that it has proved distinct success.
Acting upon the recommendation OF
my medical adviser to take a Tonic
when necessary, 1 choose the Minerva,
and have every reason to be satisfied
with the result; so much so that
always keep it in the house. When
from stress Of work I feel run down
I have recourse to the Tonic, which In
variably has the desired effect, as after
a few doses I am right again for some
months. Feeling that the Tonic has
done me much good it will be pleas
ure to recommend it, and I have no
objection to you publishing this report.
I am.
Yours, ETC.,

of Rubbing Away Pain.

By His Slang and His Gentle Way
of Rubbing Away Pain
\ small Cleveland boy has dread
full stock of slang at his tongues end,
10 the great gries and humiliation OF
his mother. a great deal of this slang
he learns in the street, and some of it
he gets from wicked uncle.
The other day while out with his
sled he had a bad tumble on the ice,
and bruised his side quite severely.
He isn't too big boy TO be petted by
mamma and he came hustling into the
house to get her help and comfort.
He bounced into the parlor and there
sat a kindly faced gentleman with big,
dark eyes and a curling beard.
Il knew who it was right away,
mamma, and L said to him: Amt
you tn new gospel scout to our
church? An he kind o smiled an
said: You've guessed it, my boy. I'm
the new sermon shark at the birthstone
shack around the corner. Say, mann
ma. he beats Uncle George clean
out o. sight. Uncle George don't know
no slang as good as that Then he saw
me holdin' my side an he says:
Whats tn matter? Cracked a slat?'
An say, mamma, he just unbuttoned
my jacket an rubbed the pain right
away, mos as quick as you could, an
l think he's the incest man I ever knew
except papa, of course, an I told him
I'd he sure to come to hear him preach

WHALE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM

1t is said that in Australia there is a
hptel where rheumatism patients con-
gfegate. Whenever a whale has been
taken the patients are r0wed over to
the works where the animal IS cut up.
the whalers dig a narrow grave in the
body, and in this the patient lies for
two hours, as in a Turkish bath, the
decomposing blubber of the whale
closing around his body and acting as
a huge poultice. This is known as the
whale cure for rheumatism

county seat OF Albemarle. which is one
OF the richest counties OF Virginia, and
not only Is surrounded by as fertile val

The society OF Charlottesville de-
serves that much abused term--cul-

whose heritage is good breeding, il is
onvironed by a distinctively literary
atmosphere. This, however, Is only a
natural sequence. for Charlottesville is
one OF the foremost educational CEN
tres Of the United States. It's free
schools afford a remarkable instance Of
how much can be accomplished with
small expenditure, and aside from the
ilustrious University of Virginia there
are half a dozen or more private edu-

especially adapted. The autumn. sum-
