CURE SICK HEADACHE.
SONG WRITERS TO ORGANIZE.
VIII Form n Society for the Purpose
of Securing Benevolent and
Protective BENEFITS.

A number of song writers have de-
cided to organize sort of benevo-
lent and protective society, the prime
mover in the project being Billy Je-
rome. He said: eve will organize
simply to protect ourselves against
INSCRIPTIONS publishers and jobbers
of music. The first object in view
will be to organize so that INDECENT
and sick song writer's may be taken
care of.
''The average song writer does not
know the real value of his work and
is often ensnared by willy publishers.
He is defrauded in many cases of his
royalties. Song writer's, too, are not
thrifty, and many die in poverty after
enriching music publishers. Take, for
instance, the case of Charlie Graham,
the composer of Two Little Girls in
Blue and other popular songs. Ora
ham made number of publishers
wealthy, but died in want.
Another object of this society will
be to protect members as to royal
ties. At present publishers sell pro-
fessional copies of songs to perform
ers at five cents a copy. We do not
get cent of this money, although
by right of contract we are entitled
to it,"

Baked or Boiled Fish.

In summer fish is generally found
in good supply from the lakes C.
ocean. 1t may largely take the placs
of meat in August, when the heat
has made the appetite tickle and
there is usually a demand for change.
Fish are cheap and excellent ia every
way, and most desirable change
after heavy meat diet. Properly
served, with good sauce, baked fish
or boiled is nutritious enough to
form the basis of family dinner.
A rich fish, like bluefsh, as fresh
as possible, or a good inland or rock
bass, should be chosen for a dinner
fish, and may be accompanied by to-
matoes, cucumbers and the many
other vegetables that are more suit
able served with fish than with
meat. Cold cooked fish that is left
over from dinner may be used for
salad on the supper or luncheon
table.-N. Y. Tribune

4 METHODIST BISHOP
GIVES PE-RU-NA GREAT CREDIT.
Writes His Recommendation
for the Famous Catarrh
Remedy, Pe-ru-na.

The day was when men of promts
hence hesitated to give their testlmoni-
ais to proprietary medicines for pub
lication. This remains true to-day OF
most proprie tary medicines. But Peru
ma has become so justly famous, ITS
merits are known 10 so many people Oh
high and low station that none hesl-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The following letters from pastors
who use Peruna speak for themselves:
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
''AIy little boy had been suffering for
some time with catarrh of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed, but
after taking two bottles OF Peruna the
trouble almost entirely disappeared.
For this special malady 1 consider it
well nigh a specific. Rev. E. G. Smith.
Rev. A. S. Vaughn, Eureka Springs,
Ark, says: 81 had been FRUSTRATED by
congestive chilis and was almost dead@
as soon as able to be about, COM
menced the use of Peruna. ] took five
bottles; my strength returned rapidly
and 1 am now enjoying my usual
health."-Rev. A. 8. Vaughn.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of PERU
ma, write at once to DR.. Hartman, Civ
ing a full statement of your case and
he will be pleased to give you his val
liable advice gratis.

BOGUS PHYSICIANS
LauGhnbIe Incident of n Meeting of
"DOctOrs'' on a Railway
Train.

Travelling on another fellows pass
is sometimes dangerous thing said
a man quoted by the Philadelphia
Times. mot long ago had occasion
to go to Pittsburg and borrowed a
pass from a friend of mine, who is
a physician in addition to being one
of those favored by the railroad.
The conductor took up the pass, with
the others, for over night, as is the
custom, and I thought everything was
all right. But about three o'clock
in the morning I was aroused from
a sound slumber in my berth by some
one shaking me. I looked up star
tied. 1t was the conductor. Sorry
to disturb you, DOCTOR he said, ''but
there's a man in the car very sick.
Won't you take a look at him -
Here's a pretty fix thought I, but
I'll have to make the bluff good or
forfeit the pass So I got up, slipped
on my clothes and looked at the pa
tient. He was breathing heavily.

by my watch, and then said, as

said I. and battle his head with ice
water I knew that prescription
wouldn't hurt him, anyway. After
the first dose the patient rallied, and
I was just congratulating myself
when the conductor came up with an
other passenger. Here's a fellow
physician, DOCTOR he said. Perhaps
a consultation will be in order I
shook hands with the newcomer
trembling in my boots. What have
you given him, doctor?' he asked
sharply. I told him. Excellent he
said. The patient got better, and the
next morning when we had alighted
at Pittsburg, the joke being too good
to keep, I made clean breast of it
to the physician. He laughed. so
you're not a doctor at all, eh?' he
said. Then he laughed again and
looked about him cautiously. Say,

COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 1O.-Mrs. J. B.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was so very bad that for the last
three years, she has not been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
the time, but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever of
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and OF
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
derful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
County.

pisnpproves Of Germ rent.

DR.. BraoudeI the head of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, publishes
statement in which he disapproves
of DR.. Garnault's intention to inocu-
late himself with the virus of bovine
tuberculosis in order to test the
value of Prof. Koch's theory that
such tuberculosis is not transmissible
to human beings. DR.. BraoudeI says
it is a foolish risk to take and will
prove nothing, because if DR.. Gar
nault does not take consumption it
will show that his system is able to
resist the tuberculosis microbe, not
that the germ is incapable of affect
ing weaker persons.
DIR. Braoudel refers to the cases of
two men who have just died in Cuba
after allowing themselves to be bit
ten by mosquitoes infected with yell
low fever for the purpose of expert
menting.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.
How 1t May Be PractIced In the Pur-
chase OF Supplies for the
Kitchen.

In Woman's Home Companion Mrs.
Mary Graham gives the following use-
full hints:
For good-sized family -four is the
largest item in the line of dry gro-
ceries, and should be bought by the
barrel. The mistress of household
who studies economy will rarely go
to the bakers. Rolls for breakfast oe-
casionally, and once in awhile loaf
of bread for toast or as change from
that made at home, should be the ex-
ceptions. The cost of a barrel of
-four is seldom below five dollars, and
often much in advance. Never keep a
barrel of flour in a place that is at all
hot or damp. In buying Indian meal,
Graham flour and cereals only small
quantities are needed-say from seven
to ten pounds. They should be kept in
covered earthen jars and in dry place.
Sugar is not enough cheaper when
purchased in large quantities to make
any material difference, but it is
convenience to have from ten to TWEEN
ty pounds always on hand. Good cof-
fee can be bought by the sack as low
as II cents pound. This is in the bean
and green; but getting it in this way
saves about one-half, and it is very lit
tie trouble to brown two pounds at
time. Put the coffee in an iron spider
with just little butter, and stir it
often until of the right color. 1t should
always be ground the last thing before
using.
''Tea can be bought for much less by
the box, and two kinds are a saving
where there are servants, as they are
most lavish users of tea, and as rule
like the cheaper grades quite as well
as the better. In fact, they are likely
to prefer very inexpensive tea, for the
reason that boiling is the favorita
kitchen method of prepare ton, and ex-
IRENE strength and blackness a quail
ity much desired.
Starch is much cheaper bought in
bulk. Soap should be bought by the
box, and well dried before being used;
green soap is wastefuI. For floors and
coarse towels soft soap should be made
from the refuse fat by the addition of
potash, then boiling. In buying soap
care must be taken that it is of the
right quality. Any good grocer will
help in the selection; light yellow
soap is usually the best choice, while
delicacy of favor is the quality sought
for by the person of superior taste"

How to Raise Ferns.

With the exception of the maiden
hair, which requires a heavier, rich
er loan, the soil in which ferns are
placed should be mixture of one
half sand, one-quarter fibrous peat,
one-half broken mature sod and one
quarter to one-sixth of leaf mold.
You may have difficulty in finding
peat, but sandstone or micaceous
blocks, which may be found almost
anywhere, will tend to keep the soil
open. Always place a large piece of
broken pot, curved side up, over the
hole in the bottom of the pot to al
low drainage. Over this put broken
bits about an inch deep and fill
in with prepared soil.
The ordinary flower pot is RICH. for
this purpose, hsit wide, fat pot is
better, and it allows more room for
the roots and creeping stems.-N. z.
