The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottles
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold

"Why, he's one of the very few

Burning ont Old stump..

The easiest way to get rid of
stumps in field or meadow is to burn
them out. Dig a trench around the
stumps about two feet wide and two
and one-half or three feet deep, cut
off all projecting roots quite close and
remove the soil as well as possible.
Then leave the stump for a few days
to dry. Gather up a lot of dry sticks,
brush. etc, and fill up the trench all
around and on top of the stump and
set it on fire. The stump will be con-
sumed in a day or two Even green
stumps may be burned out in this
way, although it may require q sec-
ond or third supply of dry sticks on
she fire to accomplish i'll. o. Folio,

AT THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE.
Feelings of the Visitor at the Portal
of the Ruined DOmiciIes of
POmpeIi.

The traveller who sees Iompeii for
the first time is truck by one signif-
cant feature of these little houses
whose owners have been dead 1900
years. That is the faces which are
often carved over the door or in the
atrium, were intended to convey q
welcome or defiance to the entering
guest. says Youths Companion.
The New House, as it is called, be-
cause it is the last rescued from it's
tomb of ashes, has before it two mar
BILE heads on pillars rising from beds
of roses. Their faces are turned to
greet the stranger with gay, friendly
smiles.
No one could enter a house which
gave him so cordial a welcome with
out a happier throb at his heart.
In the entrances of some of the
other houses are set angry, ~frowning
heads of demons, and in a few, vile,
indecent pictures are frescoed in the
atrium.
The visitor feels that these greet
iups at the entrance of the ancient
homes give him a clear insight into
the differing characters of their owr-
ers. although the owners have been
dead fer ages. The modern American
or European, he thinks with salts
faction is too shrewd to put any
such telltale figures at the door of his
house. And yet in a sense. each one
of us lives in a house on the door OF
which he writes year after year a mes
sage TO every passer-by, either OF
threat and contempt or of welcome
and good will. We write. too, on these
faces of ours, a history of our own
lives and thoughts which may be read
of all; and the keen observer on a
crowded street looks on the faces that
pass by him as on a page of the Book
of Judgment.
