The Latest War News.

The latest war news is eagerly sought
after. To some it brings happiness, as
they read of valiant deeds accomplished,

also much sorrow and suffering through
out our country by those who have been
captured by that greatest enemy-dys-
pepsia. For this, however, there is a
remedy and that is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. which also cures indigestion,
constipation, biliousness, nervousness
and insomnia, and as a preventive for
malaria, fever and ague it is ~unequalled.

CARING FOR CATS.

A sure sign of an old cat is that his
tongue always hangs out. When young
he keeps it in his mouth.
Cats are good for exhibition till their
spines begin to droop in the middle and
they lose color. This occurs when they
are about eight years old.
It is impossible to lay down any rules
for feeding pet cats-some people rear
their cats on all sorts of dainties and
Others cling to the theory of simple
foods.
Cats have varying tastes. In a fam
lily Of sever kittens one will be raven
Gus for beetroot, another for cucumber,
another for tomatoes, one will touch
nothing but fish and another wants
nothing but bread and milk.
The value of show cats varies q great
deal. The winner of last years show
in England was priced at $500, and $125
is q very ordinary price for a long-hair
cat. A good cat, systematically shown,
can easily win $100 a year in prizes.
