= My husband was in debt and l, being
anxious to help him, thought I would sell
American Self-Heating Flat Irons, and am
doing splendidly. A cents worth of fuel
will heat the iron for one day, so you have a
perfectly even heat. You can iron in half
the time and no danger of scorching the
clothes, as with the old iron, and you can
ly every house, as the iron is SO convenient
and economical everybody wants one. I
have not made less than five dollars any day
I worked. My brother is doing well, and I
think any one can make lots Of money any
where selling these irons. Retail price 1915
each. The Roberts A. & O. Iron Co., st.
Paul, Minnesota, are the sole manufacturers
and will start any one in the business, as
they did me, if you will address them.

"Foresworn the seashore?" said Mr.
Jobson, with an expression of great
surprise. "Who? Me: When did yor

"Why, haven't you been saying ali

"Not unless I said it in my sleep!"
"But I haven't a rag made up that

Mrs. Jobson," broke in Mr.. Jobson,
with great dignity, "your husband,
who is on the verge of p~rostration
from a combination of heat and over
work, has extended to you a cordial in
yitation to accompany him to the sea-
shore tomorrow afternoon. Your hus-
band, madam, has been in the habit OF
going to the seashore for a part of the
summer for a good many years, and he
doesn't intend, at this day and date,
to be chiseled out of that pleasure
simply because you set up that old
wall about nothing to wear. I should
very much dislike to go to the sea-
shore by myself, Mrs. Jobson, but

their "Benne Tedd" from the hands of the
colored "aunties." They STEPPED the leaves
in hot water, and h verdict of these
steamboat men was that 1t did the BUSH

In 1871. James and Constance Mcguire
secured some Of these miraculous leaves,
and, Upon investigation, discovered that
they are identical with the Sesam. Ind.

Gates, native of India. containing a muci
laginous substance of soothing and healing
properties. Nature here furnished a rem

Messrs. Mcguire succeeded in chemically
combining the use Of the Benne-leaves
with other vegetable substances, and SO
furnished a remedy that has saved thou

Passing of the Horse.

So soon as nature sees an improvement
there is a change. The candle gave way to
cry, the horse to the automobile. The fact
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been
sold for over half a.century, proves its value.
There is nothing to equal it fer stomach or
liver trouble. 1t is Natures W remedy,
and the only one to cure dyspepsia or weak
