1t Il a Good Thing.

Everyone should be glad to say a good
word for an article that deserves it, which
accounts for the universal endorsement of
the Sterling Remedy Co., makers of the
famous Cascarets. Within five years the
sale of Cascarets has grown from single
box until last year it reached the enormous
sale of over 100000 boxes. This is mat
ter of pride to newspaper men because Cas-
carets has been very largely and persistent
ly advertised in newspapers for number OF
years, and it shows that advertising of the
right kind will certainly bring success. All
druggists report an enormous demand for
Cascarets that is steadily increasing. They
are put up in convenient form and the prices
are l0c., 25c., and Soc. box. A Soc. box is
enough for one months treatment. Anyone
who has the slightest liver or bowel trouble
is urged to give them a trial

ANCIENTS HAD SENSE.
Dated Beginning of Year from
Opening of Spring
When All Things in Nature Start

Some Other Things in Which the AncientS
Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began their year With
the advent of spring. How much
more appropriate thus to begin the
New Year with the new life of ma
ture in the awakening spring. At
this season all processes throughout
the natural world start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
sagacityand appreciation of the great
changes and active processes0 spring.
time, by realizing that this is also the
time for renewed life and energy in
the human system. They well knew
that the blood should be cleansed
from impurities and the nerves REIN
vigorated at this season. Hence the
establishment of the custom of taxi
ing a good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy
custom is followed by almost every
body at the present day, few people
of intelligence venturing to go
through this trying time of change
from winter to summer without TAX
ing a spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is a
settled fact; the only question hereto

PETER THE WILD BOY.
He Was Caught in Tree in a German
Forest in 1925 and Taken
to England.

Peter, the Wild Boy, who was
brought to England, was found in
1925, in the woods of Hamelin, %
miles from Hanover, walking on his
hands and feet, climbing up trees
like squirrel, and feeding upon
grass and moss of trees.
Being presented to the king while
at dinner, his majesty made him
taste of all the dishes that were
served up at the table, and, in order
to bring him by degrees to human
diet, commanded that he should have
such provisions as he might like
best. He was at that time judged
to be about 12 or Is years old
Afterward he made his escape into
the same woods, but was again
caught on tree, which was obliged
to be first sawed down.
He was brought to England in
April, 1926, and again introduced into
the presence of his majesty and
many of the nobility. He could not
speak, and scarce seemed to have any
idea of things.
However, it was observed that he
took most notice of his majesty, and
of the princess, giving him her glove,
which he tried to put on his own
hand, and seemed much pleased, as
he was with a gold watch which was
held to tick at his ear.
At first he appeared uneasy to
wear any clothes, and he could not
be brought to lie upon a bed, but
sat in a corner of the room; whence
it is conjectured that he used to sleep
on a tree for security against wild
beasts. However, he walked upright,
and even sat for his picture.

Hon. David Meekison is we'll known.
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-ffth Congress
by very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. AT last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:
"Ihave used several bottles of Peru
ma and feel greatly benefited thereby
from my catarrh of the head. 1 feel
encouraged to believe that if use it a
short time longer 1 will be able to fully
eradicate the disease of thirty years
standing. Yours truly,
David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
a slight cough, cold in the head, or a
tri1ing arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage
artist. His voice must always be clear,

MUCH OF LITTLE.
A Queer Sign That May Be Seen Not
Many Miles from Lon
don.

The stranger in any city half hun
dred years old, if he knew anything
of the city's history, would learn
from many of the signs that the Sec
ond and third generations had sue
ceeded to the business of father and
grandfather. 1t is especially true of
New York. The New York Times men
tions some peculiar signs, and re-
lates the following, which we take
to be true, although we do not vouch
for it:
A Londoner, who had strolled about
the streets of the city with New
Yorker who called his attention to
some of the signs of sons, agreed
that in this respect New York was
very like London, but in neither city
was there any such sign as he saw
in one of the old English towns few
hours run from the worlds metropo-
lis. The sign reads:
JOHN LITTLEJOHNs SONS AND LIT
TIE (LITTLE LITTLEJOHN, DOC
LITTLE LITTLEJOHN AND
JOHN LITTLE).
According to the Londoner, the first
Littlejohn and Little were partners.
the former gave his first son his
partners family name, and Little gave
his boy his partners Christian name.
Littlejohn's second son was named,
for his mothers family, Doolittle.
The three sons succeeded to their IA
Tiers business, hence the sign is en-
tirely correct, and the Londoner was
right in saying that the successors
had no intention of being funny
when they had their sign written as
it appears.

(Matthew 26:6-l6)
.. Now when Jesus was in Bethany, In
the house OF Simon the leper,
Z. There came unto Him woman having
an alabaster box Of very precious oint-
ment, and poured II on His head, as He'sat
at meat.
s. But when His disciples saw it. they
pose is this waste?
3. For this ointment might have been
sold for much. and given to the poor.
10. When Jesus understood II, He said
into them: Why trouble ye the woman?
for she hath wrought a good work upon
me.
II. For ye have the poor always with you:
but Me ye have not always.
u. For In that she hath poured this oint-
ment on my body, she did 1t for my burial.
l3. Verify | say unto you: Wheresoever
this Gospel shall be preached in the whole
world there shall also this that this wom-
an hath done, be told for memorial Of
her.
H. Then one of the 10, called Judas Iscar-
lot, went unto the chief priests,
10. And said unto them: What will We
give me, and ! will deliver Him unto you?
And they covenanted with him for 90 pieces
of silver.
l6 And from that time he sought oppor-
turity to betray Him.

From Jericho Jesus went to Beth.
any, arriving there Friday afternoon,
March 81, A. d. 30. This marks the
beginning of the last week of Jesus
life. On Saturday Jesus had supper
at the house of one Simon tho
leper.' This man could not have
been leper at this time. having prob
ably been healed by Jesus. He had
cause for exceptional gratitude. and
this supper was an expression of that
gratitude.
