THOUSANDS OF REQUESTS.
For Free Bottles.

Are received by the manufacturers ot the
Dr David Kennedy's lavoiite Remedy, and
IL Jon rict investig ,tion it has been found
that no less than oI per cent. OF those receiv-
ing trial bottles have been so helped 10y the
Remedy sent, that they have bought large
sized bottles at their druggists
There is no doubt that Favorite Remedy is
the very best medicine known for diseases of
the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and Blood,
Rheumatism, Dyspepsia and Chronic Con-
stipation.' The manufacturers are prepared
to send free trial bottles postpaid to all those
who write, giving their full name and post
office address to the DIR. DAVID KEN
NEDY CORPORATION, Roundout, N. v,
and mention THE COLUMBIAN.
Put some of your urine in a glass tumbler
il in twenty four hours it has sediment, or
milky, cloudy condition; if it is pale or dis.
colored ropy or s,ringy, YOU need good
medicine, and Favorite Remedy is the best
one you can take. 1t speedily cures such
dangerous symptoms as pain in the back, fre-
quent desire to urinate especially at night,
scaiding burning pain in passing water,
staining of your linen by the urine and inabil-
ity to hold it. Also the unpleasant and dan
gerous effects produced on the system by the
use of whskey or beer.
DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is
old at all drug stores at $500 a bottle, or
six bottles for IS 90.

BANDS ON BATTLE FIELDS
Music Hns an Inspiring Eject nnd
AIDS ir DispciiInG Ncari-
ness On the March.

The utility of music in matters per-
tanning to war is probably one Of the
greatest forces. At the present day, in
all the armies of the world, musical war
signals are considered not only use
full, but absolutely indispensable. The
infantry drill regulations of many
countries give the music ard signifi-
cance of more than go trumpcr signals
calls of naming, of assembling, of
alarm, of service and so on-besides a
dozen or more drum and fife signals,
pll of which is q definite language to
soldiers.
But its use is not merely confined to
signaling, for music is used in other
ways for purposes of war. In the way
of dispelling WEAKNESS on the march
nothing is equal to the music of brass
band. Lord Wolseley, says Pearsons,
has remarked that troops that sing as
they march will not only reach their
destination more quickly and in better
fighting condition than those who
march in silence, but, inspired by the
music and words of the national song,
will feel that self-confidence which is
the mother of victory"
Probably savages are the most sus-
ceptibe to the warlilke feeling inspired
by a certain class of music. 1t arouses
their anger, incites their fanaticism,
and by accompanying their war dances
in time of peace it arouses their lust
of war. For this reason it is among
warlike nations that early music was
most developed.
The German army includes more than
10000 military musicians. Other power
full nations on the continent employ
rather less numbers in military bands.

Deafness Cannot be Cured,

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it IS entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are Caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dltion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
or any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circul-
ars, free.

Useful Hints.

To Soften and Remove Putty
Soak with little muriatic acid or
nitre, when, in short time, the putty
will become quite soft and may be
easily removed with a knife.
TO Remove Fruj, Stains from Lin
en- Tablecoths. We'll moisten the
stains with keorosene oil, rub thor
oughly, cover the moist spots with
carbonate of soda, and leave in the
sun to bleach.
To Remove Tight Ring from the
Finger.-Hold the hand in cold water,
and then apply soap, glycerlne, or any
greasy substance that may be handy,
and remove the ring with circular
movement from the finger.
To prevent silver articles from turn
ing black through the effects of gas
and fog they should be wrapped in
tissue paper and kept in bags made
of flannel or soft baize; that is, if
they are not provided with velvet or
lined cases.
In washing knives never let the
handles get wet or lay in the water,
as they will split, the blades will be-
come loose, and the bone or ivory
discolored. The blades should simply
be wiped with damp cloth and then
cleaned.

he Salted the Calf.

A Jefferson county farmer recently
hired very inexperienced boy out of
the refoimatory to help about the
place. One morning he told the lad
to 60 and salt the calf in the pasture.
The boy took about a quart of salt
and rubbed 1t all over the calf, work
ing it into the hair. A gang of colts
in the pasture scented the salt and got
after the calf. They licked the ha I
all off the calls back and tried to lick
the hide off, too. The farmer tried q
catch the calf and wash it off but the
creature, thinking he wanted to lick,
too, kept out of his way. The boy,
calf and farmer are all unhappy. The
colts are the only ones that got any
fun out of it.

ENGLISH PLUCK.
IN This Instance 1t Was Rough and
Not Overnice, But 1t Won
the Victoria Cross.

Maybe it was at 1sandula, with Lord
Chelmsford's army, or it may have been
during the Zulu war, says Golfers
Weekly, after an engagement in which
the British troops were defeated by
Cetewayo's black warriors, and were
compelled to fly for their lives, an Eng
lish cavalryman, whose scraggy little
pony limped from an assegai slash, de-
tached himself from the retreat and
galloped back upon the charging
Zulus. A glance over his shoulder had
shown him dismounted comrade,
stumbling painfully along, trying to
jam some cartridges into his clogged re-
volver. When the troopers pony
trotted up the Zulus were almost upon
the two soldiers; fortunately they had
discarded their spears and were mis-
handling captured carbines. Now, in a
melodrama or in realistic novel edify-
ing to schoolgirls, the language of these
two gallant soldiers, one to the other,
there amid the squealing Zulu bull
let's, would have been noble, lofty, In
spring and godlike. This is what they
really said:
Get out O. this, Bill, We bloomin'
ijit-the black beggars'll skewer you!"
gasped the wounded man.
"You climb up on this 'orse or I'll
punch your d-n head Off" was the re-
ply from the trooper.
And it is delightful to be able to say
that he did climb up, and they both es-
caDed from the NhlocL barpay,cv ond
the trooper got the Victoria cross.
