We cannot live among our fellow
men and be true without sharing their
burdens as the world is SO full Of trial
and sorrow. The lamp of our own
happiness must be held SO its beams
will fall upon the Swallowed heart. We
cannot live alone for ourselves, and
selfishness must be utterly destroyed,
TO prevent our own heart and best sem
timents and emotions from becoming
frozen. The blessings given to US are
for the purpose OF doing good TO others.

1t I.a Good Thing.

Everyone should be glad to say 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 a single
box until last year it reached the enormous
sale of over 5000, 600 boxes. This is a mat
ter of pride to newspaper men because Cas-
carets has been very largely and persistent
ly advertised in newspapers for a 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 1Oc., 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 trial.
