This Suits Us.

We clipped the following from
an exchange which will likely be
good news to the young folks:
THE young people of Kentucky
who indulge IN the dizzy waltz
will hear with interest that the
head of Washington and New
York society have decided that
sitting out" a waltz next winter
will be more fashiona bic than dane
ing. The sitting waltz "em bodies
the same position as dancing
the only difference is you sit in
stead Of dance. The mans right
arm is around the girls waist
while the left hand holds her right.
Her left hand is placed upon his
shoulder while her head rests low
ingly upon his bosom, and all they
do is sit and listen to the music.
Now that is something like it.
We have always regarded it a kind
of nuisance to have to gallop a
mile or two to get kiss. A room
full of people sitting around on
sofas hugging to music is more
our notion. This will give the
old rheutmatick brethen another
chance to waltz. Most men waltz
not for the dance but for the po-
sition, and while man may lose
his appetite for dancing, he has
got to get pretty old before he
loses his appetite for hugging a
pretty girl. "-Kentncky Elk.

The ancient believed that rheu-
matism was the work of demon
within a man. Any one who has
had an attack of sciatic or infiam-
matory rheumatism will agree
that the infliction is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. 1t
has never been claimed that
Cham berlain' s Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear
testimony to the truth of this
statement. One application re-
lieves the pain, and this quick re-
lief which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost. For sale by

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of I'M
digested food regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and oragnic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling duh and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need IA few doses Of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by r. L..

Washington. Nov. willis L. Moore,
chief of the weather bureau, has issued
the following statement on the weather
for November:
The following statements are based on
average weather conditions for Novem-
Der, as determined by long series Of OBJ
seFVati0ns- As the weather of any given
November does not conform strictly to
the average conditions, the statements
cannot be considered as forecasts
In its general character November
weather forms a mean between the heat
of late summer and early fall and the
cold OF winter. and in marked contrast
10 the severe storms OF August, Septen-
Der and October the weather in the trOp-
zeal and SUBJ tropical regions of the At
lantic ocean is usually settled and fine

son IS nearing its end In the middle

stronger and blow more steadily from
the northwest. shifting to west, south

in the middle attitudes are not 50 strong

ceding months northern storms which
occur during the winter season The
southwark flow Of Arctic ice in the At
lantic has ceased and but little fog is
encountered in the transatlantic steam

In the United States the Pacific coast
wet season begins in October and the

the middle and northern plateau regions
there IS an increase in rainfall as COM
pared with the summer and early fall

Montana November IS one Of the dT'yest
months Of the year IN the great corn

commonly light and in the west Gulf
