QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine 10 the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis. Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and sop fermentation OF undi'
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is oil
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You

DOCTOR UNDER CHLoRoFoRM.--
Alone in his buggy on dark mountain
road, and under the ioauence OF chioro-
form, was the experience of DR.. N. @.
Schul z, of Concord, Pa, Tuesday night.
DR.. Schulz is the village surgeon at
Concord. He was called to Spring
Run, o small place about twenty miles
from Concord, Tuesday, to assist in an
operation. II was dark when he start
ed to return home, carrying 10 q small
satchel pint OF chloroform. The cork
in the bottle became loose and the anses-
thetic ran into the satchel, saturating it
thoroughly.
The doctor was overcome by the
fumes and fell into stupor. His horse
wandered on for miles until the animal
lost the way and fell over an embank-
rneDt, taking buggy and doctor with
him The shock of the fall awoke the
dot tor, who realizsd how near he bad
been to death.
After q search of an hour he found
the mountain road, and, unhitching hls
horse, he left the buggy in the noun
tain and walked five miles to Concord
meanwhile overcoming the effects Of
the drug. He said that if bis horse had
70, fallen he would have been dead
man, as he had lost consciousness.

A Financial Prophets Prediction.


Is history to repeat itself again in the
stock market? Are we to have another
wildcat banking boom, as the result Of
the passage of the new currency bill?
Indications point that way. Already the
treasury department at Washington re-
ports that over 500 new national banks
are preparing to organize under the law
Most of these are little banks, for the
new law opens the door wide to the. or
ganization Of banks with a capital of
only $4,000 in towns of 5000 popula-
tion. The moment such bank is organ
lied in any city or village, and secures
it's circulation, it will have the $4,000
in currency on hand to cover the $25, 600
which with slight additional premium)
was required to purchase the government
bonds needed as the basis for circula-
ton, so that the organizers Of the bank
have a bank on hand with which to do
business. The readiness with which
these little national banks can be organ
lied in small towns will be seen at a
glance, and the opportunities for specula-
tive banking concerns to take advantage
of the situation will be readily recog-
nized.
Every little town will want a national
hank. It will not be difficult to raise
the necessary $4,000. Every bank will
want to make money, and will have to
look to it's loans for its profits. * The
obvious instability of loans on the in
diyidual credit of small landed proprie'
| tors in the agricultural sections justifies
the fear that ultimately good many Of
| these banks will be confronted with seri-
Gus losses which will precede their disso'
luton by the processes of bankruptcy

When Putin. Away Furs.

AS the time. approaches for putting
away furs, it is well to remember that
moths lay their eggs in the early spring
and that unless great care is taken to see
that the furs are clean their owners may
be treated to ii disagreeab.e surprise
sometime later. Before putting them
away. thoroughly heat the furs and air
them for several hours then comb them
with clean comb. Camphor, so much
used in preserving furs against moths,
has tendency to tighten the colors. But
no matter what you use, you should take
the furs out and examine them in the
sunlight at least once month.
Moths love darkness; therefore, to
keep them from clothing, air it repeated
ly in the sunshine. To keep them from
plush furniture, twice year, OH sunny

the bottoms from the chairs, if they
can be removed, and give the cushions
