them. | have heard of a certain small
Boston boy who got into the habit Of
teasing his mother for pennies until at
last she said 10 him: Now, Willie,
don't like to give you pennies. II you
want money, you should go to work
and earn it,"
The boy remained thoughtful for
some time. Then within "A few days
the mother perceived that Willie had
plenty of pennies. She wondered Il
bit where he got them, but did not
question him. But one summer day
she noticed that some sort of hula
baloo was going on i'm the back yard.
Looking out, she saw Willie surround
ed by mob of boys who were yelling
with delight. She went down into the
yard to see what was going on. and as
she passed out she saw stuck up on the
back wall of the house this notice.

a Word
to Doctors

We have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon-
izing them, but rather as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri-
Gus to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al
leviated only by external treatment-by
applying liniment that softens and re-
lakes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such liniment, com
bining the ingredients in manner
hitherto unknown, and call it

The Toothbrush Plant.

One of the most curious plants in
the world is what is called the tooth
brush plant of Jamaica. 1t is n species
of creeper and has nothing particularly
striking about its appearance. BY cut
ting pieces of 1t to a suitable length
and fraying the ends the natives con-
vert it into toothbrush. and tooth
powder to accompany the use Of the
brush is also prepared by pulverizing
the dead stems.

Mother'SFriend

We know that in thousands of cases
it has proved more than blessing to
expectant mothers. 1t overcomes morn
ing sickness. 1t relieves the sense of
tightness. Headaches cease, and dan
ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is
shortened and shorn of most of the pain.
We know that many doctors recon-
mend it, and we know that multitudes
of women go to the drug stores and buy
it because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask trial
just a fair test. There is no possible
chance of injury being the result, be-
cause Mothers Friend is scientific
ally compounded. 1t is sold at 81 bot
tie, and should be used during most of
the period of CESSATION, although great
relief is experienced if used only a short
time before childbirth. Send for our IL
lustrated book about Mothers Friend.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)
SUFFOLK, VA. Sept 20.-An investi-
CATION OF the Dismal Swamp fire completed
this afternoon proved that at least fifteen
thousand acres OF forest land were burned
over. The blaze has not been extnsush-
ed yet, but its cour>e is seemingly check
ed. No intelligent estimate can be made
concerning the damage to pine and juni-
PEI timber, owing to the colnbusLble ma
ture Of the swamp sou, which. in some
places, resembles peat. Great excavations
have been burned into the earth
Deer, bear, wild cats and other animals
have abandoned their haunts and either
sought safety by fleeing to the highlands.
or have been driven further into the fast
ness OF the jungles. The theory has been
advanced that the peculiar species of wJtf
which has been preyng on the stock OF
North Carolina farmers was forced from
the Dismal Swamp by the fire. Two Of the
wolves taken alive have been sent TO Della
ware Park, and another younger one was
shipped to Franklin with view TO its
