THOSE HNAWINa RATS.
4 Common and Curious Illusion.

"I felt as though rats were gnawing at the coats of my stomach" Three famous men have all left this expression on record in their writings. They were all sufferers from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, ot which the horrible sensation they thus de- scribe is a symptom. Other signs are a heaviness and distress after eating, bad taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable appetite, flatulency, broken sleep, bad dreams and nightmares, billiousness, fatigue and weariness without labor, etc., etc.
 We work with our head and nerves and this makes the dyspepsia of the student, the business and professional man, the worried man and the majority of women. We throw food, often unassorted and in ex- cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom- ach, and bring on acute inhammatory dys- pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms and results which make life a terror. Ask anybody who has 1t,

 After spending about half a million dollars on others in its long and honor able career the grand lodge of Ken lucky Is going to build a handsome temple for itself in Louisville.
 We are reliably informed, says the Illinois Freemason, that Grand Master Moulton is insisting upon lodges being strictly observant of the laws, rules and regulations of the grand lodge. Short form work, opening and closing by proclamation and all innovations are to be strictly prohibited.

 Each one of us can be of use to our fellow men If we but practice the hu- man sympathy taught in the principles of Masonry.
 Last year the grand chapter of Texas made a net gain of 1,306 members. When 1t is considered that there are now only SAG Royal Arch Masons in that state, this is a remarkable record.
 Seattle, Wash, has i've Masonic lodges with 845 members. Tacoma has six lodges with 584 members. Spo- kane has three Masonic lodges with 54S members.
 The question of whether the brethren attending a lodge funeral during the burial service should remove their hats or not is now being discussed in sev- eral jurisdictions. Many severe at- tacks of sickness have been brought on by ''uncovering' at the grave.

The Wedding Gift.

It Is a golden rule to send a wedding gift In good time, the first to arrive be- ing much more appreciated than that which Is one of the many pouring in from all quarters during the last week.
 By adhering to this rule one will be saved the annoyance of hearing that the saltcellars are charming-the third set already received.
 A month before the wedding day Is not too early to send the present, which should be accompanied by a visiting card.
 The package should be addressed to the bride, If one is intimate with the happy couple. and to the brides house, addressed to the bridegroom, If 1t Is he with whom one Is best acquainted.

Attractive Frescoes.
 Very beautifully decorated are the walls of the new part of the capitol, where handsomely furnished commit tee rooms fill the space once occupied by the Congressional library. In some of the corridors are attractive frescoes of nymphs and goddesses, with their delicately nodded forms swathed in flowing garments.

Stephen Girard, the Philadelphia millionaire, once said: "I do not value money for the mere pleas. ure of possessing 1t. The only purpose I have since I made financial success is to work so hard during the day that when night comes I may be able to forget my existence in sleep" In the light of these testimonies I ask you, my hearers, does 1t pay to gain finan- cial prosperity at the expense of your immortal soul?

Are you still suffering misery and
dependency? Does the grim spectre
death follow you closely as the Joyous
springtime brings happiness and bless
ings to others around you! Are you
still clinging tenaciously to false the
cries Of physicians or friends who per-
sist in assuring you that time, care,
and the use of your present medicine
will give you new health?
Be assured your present condition
is perilous one. The continuance Of
the medicine you are now using is a
folly; you are simply trifiing with life
and wasting precious time.
You should remember that while
nature clothes the fields with fresh
grass and flowers, and while the trees
with strong life are showing bursting
buds and new foliage, that human
beings-old and young---drop of in
thousands in springtime.
Now is the time for prompt, decided
and practical action if life is to be
saved. Prejudice and the erroneous
theories Of even medical men should
be cast aside when the hand Of death
is upon you. 1t matters not what
your social position be; the medicine
that saves the humblestman or woman
is surely the one adapted for the needs
OF the rich and those in high social
positions.
Paine's celery compound has rec
ord of life saving that no other medi-
cine can ever equal. 1t has rescued
rich and poor from the grasp Of death
when physicians and their most care
fully prepared prescriptions failed in
the work. II The suffering men and
women of today could but see the
happy faces and hear the kind words
spoken by the tens Of thousands who
have been made we'll and strong by
Paine's Celery compound, it would
soon dispel their existing doubts and
fears.
Paine's Celery Compound is the
only medicine that reaches the root of
disease; it is the only agency that can
remove our terrible load Of disease.
Unsolicited testimonials Of cures pour
in every day. Young and old con-
stantly bear witness that rheumstis
neuralgia, kidney disease, liver COM
plant. dyspepsia and blood diseases
are banished permanently when
Paine's Celery Compound is faithfully
used for time. Begin its use today,
poor sufferer; delays are dangerous.
