NOW LOOK OUT !!

"Take care of yourself" say our friends.
"I'll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammations and congestions wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid a serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
Hnct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all sim
ilar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.
Get the genuine. All druggists, or we will
prepay postage on any number ordered in
the United States on receipt of 25c. each.

horn cemetery, the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. Wig.
Mrs. Jorgensen was in the very
prime Of wumanhood and her death
comes hard on her bereaved husband
who has two small children left to
care for. She has been sick for year
or more but was able to be up and
around until two days before she died
She was always cheerful and looked
on the sunny side of life and was
often great help to her husband and
her friends by her very cheerfulness
These children will never know
again the loving touch of mother to
soolhe and comfort them in their dis.
tress and infant pains. Never will
know her wise counsel, her great love
her pity, her ever watchful protection
but in that sacred mound will eve
be the soft sweet memory of the idea

general appearance of the creamery
building, but we are sorry to write,
that he gave it as his judgement that

The people of Sangir, an island Of the

aid of an hourglass formed by arrang-

runs out in half an hour, when the bot
ties are reversed. Close by them line
is stretched. on which hang twelve
sticks marked with notches from one
to twelve, with hooked stick, which.
is placed between the hour last struck
and the next one. One Of these glasses
keeps the time for each village, for
which purpose the hours are sounded
