A CURIOUS DISEASE.
Not Contagious, Yet it is Gradually Spread
ing Like an Epidemic---May Reach
MOrriSyiIIe,

DR.. Pentacost, of the First Presby-
terrain Church, Yonkers, in his
Church Bulletin says:
81 have recently heard of a curious
disease known as Sunday sickness.
1t usually attacks the sufferers about
half-past nine O'Clock on Sunday
morning, after having slept we'll Sat
urday night and enjoyed a hearty
breakfast. The malady grows worse
till about IL O'Clock and continues
without relief until 1 o'clock, when
it apparently passes entirely away.
The patient is able to eat hearty
dinner and feels much better during
the afternoon, when he is able to
take a walk, stroll out to the golf
links, read his Sunday papers, etc.
The trouble comes on again about
half past seven in the evening, and
grows worse after eating a hearty
supper. The patient does not recover
from this second attack until about
half-past nine, when the distressing
sickness passes entirely a way, and
does not re-appear again until the
next Sunday just before church time.
lone of the curious features of this
disease is that it never manifests it.
self except on Sunday. No doctor is
needed, as it's symptoms are so regn-
lar that the patient is perfectly sure
of relief without the Intervention OF
family physician. Another curious
fact about this strange malady is
that it never attacks anybody but
church members, and rarely affects
women. In some communities the
disease is epidemic, and has almost
depleted churches ofmale at tendants
The doctors are not anxious about
it, as they are never called in to treat
it; but the pastors are much disturb
ed and distressed for their parish
toner's.

Mrs. Henry s. Bingham of Benning-

Executive Committee, has secured a
cabinet of about seventv-fve pieces of
ware made at the old United States
pottery in Bennington. This cabinet
will be one of the attractions of the

English potters, and some of the
pieces were highly artistic and the

Senior Palma, through his long resi-

1t Is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness Is disease and
not weakness. A body filled with pois-
on, and nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and eradicating this poison,
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"HoME GOLD CURE" which has been per-
fected after many years of close study and
treatment of inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this wonderful
discovery is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records show the
marvellous Transformation of thousands OF
Drunkards into sober, Industrious and
upright men.
Wives Cure Your Husbands Children
Cure Your Fathers! This remedy Is in
no sense a nostrum, but Is specific for
this disease only, and Is SO skillfully de-
vised and prepared that 1t Is thoroughly
soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that
it can be given in a cup of coffee or tea
without the knowledge of the person
taking 1t. Thousands of Drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless rem
dy, and as many more have been cured
and made temperate men by having the
"Cure" administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge In
coffee or tea, and believe to-day that they
discontinued drinking of their own free
will. Do Not Wait. Do not be deluded
by apparent and misleading "improve-
ment." Drive out the disease at once
and for all time. The "Home Gold Cure''
Is sold at the extremely low price of One
Dollar, thus placing within reach of every
body a treatment more effectual than
others costing $25 to $50. Full directions
accompany each package. Special adj
vice by skilled physicians when requested
without extra charge. Sent postpaid to

STANDARD TIME.
To Ascertain and PromuIgate 1t In q
Costly Task.

Costly Task.
what time is itY' Few questions
are more common than this, and yet
each day the United States government
goes to great expense in giving 1t an
official answer. To ascertain the in
slant when it is noon on the seventy
fifth meridian and to send that infor-
nation all over the country is a great
and a costly task. The astronomical
observatory in Washington computes
the true time, which Is thence trans
mitted by electricity to every important
city and town.
About five minutes before the Wash
ington noon the telegraph companies
cut off all their regular business except
on lines where they have more than
one wire. They then connect all i'm
portant points, from which there may
be numberless ramifications, with an
electric wire going into the great clock
In the observatory SO that all over the
country its tickings may be heard For
the ten seconds just before II o'clock
there is silence, which is broken by the
moon beat" Regular business is then
resumed.
In some cities the wires connect with
time ball which drops with the noon
beat. The time ball in Washington
over the state, war and navy depart
ment building Is three feet in diameter
and can be seen from all parts of the
city. Crowds frequently gather about
to see it fall, a distance of p feet, high
in the air. The man whom some of the
spectators suppose to be dropping the
ball is merely there to hoist it again to
it's place.
In the building beneath are % clocks
which are each day automatically cor
rected by it. An electrical device SETS
them, placing hour, minute and second
hands exactly vertical at the instant
the ball drops. The hands that are too
fast are pushed back, and those that
are slow are thrust forward.
Although Washington is on the sew
enty-seventh meridian, the noon hour
is for convenience computed for the
seventy-fifth, the time standard for the
eastern part of the United States. In
the central belt. which is governed by
the ninetieth meridian, the signal from
Washington means II o'clock, in the
Rocky mountain belt it is 10 o'clock,
and on the Pacific coast line it is O.
