A spraIned Ankle Quickly Cured.

we're sprain of the ankle" says George
f. Cary, editor of the Guide, Wash
ington, Va. After using several
well recommended medicines without
success l tried Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, and am pleased to say that re-
lief came as soon as began its use
and complete cure speedily followed.
This remedy has also been used in my

best results. l cheerfully recommend
its use to all who may need a first

VIII Not End Trusts.

The constitutional amendment rec
commended by the republican mem
bers of the house as one that will end
trusts is not approved by the demo
Gratis. for the very good reason that
the remedy is not calculated to effect
a cure.
The constitutional amendment, as
agreed to, proposes the following as
article XVI. of the constitution:
Sec. L. All powers conferred by
this article shall extend to the several
states, the territories. tke District of
Columbia, and all territories under
the sovereignty and subject to the jur-
isdiction of the United States.
Sec. 2. Congress shall have power
to define. regulate control, prohibit
or dissolve trusts. monopolies or COM
binations, whether existing in the
form of corporation or otherwise.
The several sotes may continue to
exercise such power in any manner
not in conflict with the laws of the
United States.
"Sec. 3. Congress shall have power
to enforce the provisions of this arti-
Gle by appropriate legislation"
The remedy is even worse than the
disease, for it leaves the question of
what are trusts, monopolies or COM
bines" still open, and takes away from
the sovereign states the power to in
oNire into them.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food. reg
ulate the action of the liver. stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system. and that is all they took when
feeling dull and had with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. II.

As an excuse for his declination to
accord the representatives of the
South African republic sympathy in
their struggle for independence yes
terday, President Mckinley explained
that such a course would humiliate
this country by violating its tradi-
tions. Coming from the first presi-
dent in the country's history who has
deliberately and persistently violated
the nations most sacred traditions
since the close of the war with Spain,
this explanation on the presidents
part will do.

HOW OFTEN

We hear ladies say 80! l have ne
time to do my own sewing" We
wish to say to these ladies that by the
use of the Diamond Garment Cutter
| System, they can cut and haste and
| fit dress in the same time it takes to
hunt some one else to do the work,
besides getting a much better and
easier fitting garment than can pos
sibly be made with any of the old
fashioned models or chart systems.
How many advantages to be de-
rived from knowledge of this sys-
tenn and the satisfaction of knowing
that the dress question is settled for
ever.
By the use of the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter any lady can fit any
kind or style of garment without any
trouble or worry.
No refitting, no rebasting, no trying
on half a dozen times, but ninety
nine times in a hundred perfect
success.
No special talent is required for our
methods more than is required to
learn the multiplication table and
any one who can read and write can
learn the Diamond Garment Gutter.
We employ special instructors out
side of the class rooms, who will call
at your residence and fully explain to
you this system of garment cutting
and fitting. This is one of our meth
DDS of advertising and. it does not
matter whether you wish to take the
class instruction or not the explana-
ton will interest any lady who de-
sires perfect fitting garments.

Gently returned from two years trip

Mr.. Chase was reluctant to speak OF
the deal, as it had been contemplated
to keep 1t quiet for some days yet. He
said that with him were associated sew
eral leading business men who did moi
desire publicity at this time.
Mr.. Chase said that the price paid
for the property was $125,000, and that
It had not been definitely settled as to
what use the syndicate would make of
the land. 1t Is likely that it will be
cut up into building lots and doomed
as a subdivision. The situation Is a
fine one and the neighborhood promis-
Ing.
No deed has been recorded OF the
sale yet. but one will shortly be filed
says Mr.. Chase. Other real estate deal
ers are put on the qui vive by the big
deal and there Is considerable specula-
tion as to why the property was sold
just at this time.
