The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure IN all it's stages,
and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

IS 1T RICH r

For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines7
From Sylvan Valley News. Brevard, N. c.
1t may be question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
food the market, yet as a prevent
ative of suffering we feel it duty to
say good word for Chamberlain g
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy. We have known and used this
medicine in our family for 20 years
and have always found it reliable.
In many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not be-
lieve in depending implicitly on any
medicine for cure, but we do be-
lieve that if a bottle of Chamber
lain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
ON hand and administered at the in
ception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. AT least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. Sold by City
Drug Store and T. N. Coleman.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-12-14

A dusty" ocean highway sounds al
most incredible. Yet those who are
familiar with sailing ships know that
no matter how carefully the decks may
be washed down in the morning and
how little work of any kind may be
done during the day nevertheless If the
decks are not swept at nightfall an
enormous quantity of dust will quickly
collect. OF course on the modern
liner" the burning of hundreds of tons
Of coal every "a hours and the myriads
of footballs daily would account for a
considerable accumulation of dust. but
on wind jammer," manned with a
dozen hands or less, no such dust pro-
ducing agencies are at work. And yet
the records of sailing ships show that
they collect more sea dust than does a
steamer, which is probably accounted
for by the fact that while the dust
laden smoke blows clear of the steamer
the large area of canvas spread by the
saller acts as dust collector.-Mari-

TabIeaux or Story Pictures.

This game can be played by any
number of persons. 1t is played in the
following manner: Pencils and papers
are supplied the guests and the condi-
tons given below stated to them.
They are told to draw quick sketch
of some well known scene from history
or fiction, such as the Babes In the
Wood" Romeo and Juliet" Bruce
and the Spider" etc. An allotted time
is then given them to choose their sub
ject and finish their sketch When
this time is up, the papers are collect
ed and placed. face downward, in q hat
and well shufiled Each of the play
ers must now draw paper, and
short time is given them to name the
subject. They must. of course, not be
named by the person who has sketched
them. Those who succeed in giving
the subjects of their pictures are now
obliged to repeat the process. while
those who do not succeed must drop
out. This must be repeated again and
again until there is only one person
left. He is the winner and receives
the prize. The "booby" prize is award
ed to the person who first drops out of
the game. The object is to keep sin
the game" the longest.
