What to Do Until the Doctor Arrives

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. W dairyman called at a drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child. then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr. Otto Scholz. says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for 1t from that part of the country.
For sale by all druggists. Matthews

AutomobiIes in the Army.

The automobile appears to be work
ing it's way into military operations,
and if it should prove a success it will
hurt the mule-breeding business in a
marked degree. The English army has
made use Of the automobile to some
extent, and the army officials of other
nations are experimenting along the
same line. 1t has been shown that an
automobile will ove acknowledgement
miles a day, which is certainly an i'm
proyement on the speed of the mule,
or of the horse, either, if the animal is
put to continuous service. But all the
tests that have been made must have
been under the most favorable circum-
stances. To love army wagons under
frequent conditions under which they
must be moved, by automatic power,
would clearly appear to be out OF the
question. The automobile, in u
Judgment, is largely a fad. 1t is a
plaything, and with all its promise, we
believe it's history will be like that OF
the bicycle, which at one time was rid
den by everybody who could afford to
ride a wheel, and the horse was neg
lected. Finally, however, thousands of
wheels went to the junk shop, and
thousands of horses took their places.
Whatever is the more economical and
efficient in the army and in business
will naturally be adopted, but in the
matter of pleasure no machine can
usurp the place of the horse, for it be-
comes an object of affection.-The
Agricultural Epitomist.

French Electioneering.

Excitement generally runs high in
French elections. Often a candidate
for office in the heat of a campaign
finds it difficult to be veracious with
out being libelous. A genuine French
election address is quoted in Litera-
ture, which was both. The candidates
manifesto to the voters ran as follows:
Zone of us is an honest man, but
which? x. leads a luxurious life
among princes of finance, though he is
absolutely without resources, though
his newspaper brings him in nothing.
and his relations have to support him;
while I live moderately in the prov
inces, where I have won an exceptional
position at the bar. X. confesses he
has not paid his debts, while ! have
paid the debts of others. His furni-
ture is still unpaid or, yet he has
shooting and horses. l deprive myself
of these luxuries, but l owe nothing to
my tradesmen."

signed to be exploded while General

Artesian Well Dug by Ants.

1t is a notorious fact, says a CORE
spondent, writing from Millen, Screyen
County, Georgia, that red ants will dig
their holes until they strike water.
Near the station in Millen, and about
fifty feet from one of the main arte-
sian wells, is a colony Of big red ants
that have been working in the same
bed for over fifty years. One of the
Oldest citizens says they were there for
that length of time to his certain
knowledge, but he can't say how long
they were there before that time. One
can imagine the establishment Of the.
people Of Millen when they saw one
morning a bold flow Of artesian water
seven feet high coming from the red anti
bed. The poor fellows dug to their
own destruction. A very peculiar
thing about it is that it has cut off the
wells here. There is great excitement
here. People for miles around are
coming in hourly to see the wonder
full well.-Savannah News. :

The case Of Mrs Fred. C. Lasher, Jr, a weIl1nown woman Of Westport,
N. 7, is once of the most interesting on record. Its a actual fact that head
aches caused her head to split.
"For thirteen years" she says, ST suffered from terrible headaches night
and day, until the bones of my skull opened sc that the doctor could lay his
thumb right into the opening on to my brain. Two doctors attended N q and
claimed that 1 raj o the verge of insanity. / was under their caref for nine
years, but got n relief. Then I tried DR.. Greenes Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, and inside of a year the bones of my head had taken their natural
shape again"
That Mr.. Lashers statements ire true is vouched for by reliable men Of
Westport, and by a Justice of the Peace there. DR.. Greenes Nervura blood
and nerve remedy cured Mrs. Lasher when all other remedies failed, andi tcures
thousands # suffering women every year. If your head aches, if you cannot
sleep and are weak and nervous remember that this great curative agent, DR..
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy, will make you well and strong.

Annual production of Rubber.

1t has been estimated that the ap
proximate total production of rubber
annually is $500 tons. OF this
amount, 21,O00 tons are taken by the

the United Kingdom, and 1880 by
the rest Of Europe. The Amazon dis
trict produces $4,000 tons, and East
