Is boundless. Yet it is utterly helpless
to give strength to the child born with a
low vitality. The time to give strength
to the child is before birth and to impart
this gift the mother herself must be
strong. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion gives strength to mothers. 1t pre-
serves them in robust health in the
months before baby comes. II practical
ly does away with the pains OF mother
hood, and enables the mother to endow
her child with a healthy body and
happy disposition. "Favorite Prescrip-
tion" contains no alcohol and is abso-
lutely free from opium and cocaine.

Troublesome to the Army.

During the civil war, as well as in
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
one of the most troublesome diseases
the army had TO contend with. In
many instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from It.
Mr.. David Taylor, of Wind Ridge,
Greene county, Pa, is one of these.
He uses Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and says he
never found anything that would give
him such quick relief. 1t is for sale

GREAT SHOE SALE.
DO You Realize
The Splendid Shoe Bargains
We Are Offering ?

If the identical shoes that have been
selling in all first-class shoe stores for
$3.50, So. and $3.50 were offered for
one-half these prices, wouldn't it be good
policy to buy literally and at once?
1t was a fortunate circumstance that
brought these high-grade shoes to our
store. The price we paid for them was
ridculousy below their market value.
Manufacturers make mistakes, make up
too many goods at times for their trade
demands. The retailer who buys at such
times makes no mistakes. We made none
when we bought the entire overplus of
this grand shoe stock.

Minded Woman who Hsd made
q Mistake.

A lady who keeps a summer boarding.
house at the seashore near Boston went
down the other day to look the house over
and find out what must be renewed. She
found numerous umbrellas left by former
boarders, says the Boston Transcript. and
tying them together, she took the bundle
90 Boston to have them repaired. She
stopped in at Hoyey's aud laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she for.
got her umbrellas, and absent mil ndedly
picked up an umbrella lying on the couri.
ter, thinking II was hers, or not thinking
at all, and started of,
Then the owner Of the umbrella, a won.

very sharply: you have taken my um.

much cut up about il. and went on forget.

brellas. The next day. on her way TO Cam.
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package Of umbrellas,
which had been kept for her. On the car
for Cambridge she noticed lady eyeing her
very closely. Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant EN-.
pbssis;
"you seem to have been more fortunate
today"
II was the lady whose umbrella she had

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS and FEv
The Best Prescription Is Grove1D'
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bott1o,
30 That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

1mitators 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 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 arc
not experimenting when you take Groves-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
