Paine's Celery
Compound
Is an Infallible Cure for Al
Forms Of
RHEUMATISM.

Although we are all born with the
principles of dissolution in our frame
which continue to operate from our
birth to our death, we are under obli-
cation to Heaven and our loved ones to
keep ourselves free from disease and
suffering. While death must come TO
every human being, pain may be avoid
ed and our days made happy and long,
If we keep the blood and physical
structure in proper condition.
AT this time, while we warn the
thousands of rheumatic sufferers of the
folly and danger of allowing rheumat-
ism to run unchecked at this season of
the year, we can comfort them with the
happy assurance that Paine's Celery
Compound permanently cures the ter
rible disease This wondrous medicine
has won the hearty indorsation of med
ical men, and it's virtues are lauded
by tens of thousands rescued from
agony and death. Mr. Chas. w. Luck

ished his rheumatism BY use of Paine's
Celery Compound, writes thus:
ut is now going on two months
since I have taken Paine's Celery
Compound for rheumatism. No other
medicine, think, could ever have done
me so much good. I have not had an

the Compound, tried everything, and

Wednesday, December 10th. The in
PRODUCTION in this city of modern de-
partment store five years ago wal looked
upon as vast undertaking. If time
proves the character of individuals,
then it's the crucible that defines and
exposes the true worth of institutions.
Five years have been counted with the
past, and during that span of time
you've had opportunity to analyse and
get at the true worth of the Big Store.
What conclusions you've come to is
in evidence here during every business
day stamped with the approval of
your presence and estimable patron
age, and by such approval this store
has grown to be the popular trading
emporium of this city. It's the shop
ping comfort, it's the accurate service,
it's the variety in merchandise; that's
the key to the situation. December
Wednesday, the 10th, will be the fifth
mile stone along lifes business jour-
ney. They will pass on, not shriveled
or dwarfed the least in their business
methods, but rounded out by the exper-
ience Of the past, they'll be better pre-
pared to meet the problems of the fu-
ture. TO commemorate their anniver-
sary day, Wednesday, the 10th, they
will offer from every department many
lines at unheard of prices, allowing
you an economical investment, also a
chance to purchase suitable holiday
gifts.
Prices are for this day only.

Probably there is nothing in the way
of disease or bodily affliction of any
sort that so appeals to the general pub
lie as consumption. The utter hopeless,
desperate feeling that overwhelms one
when a physician intimates the pres
ence of the awful bacilli Is familiar to
most adults in civilized life, for most
have seen some loved one thus fade
away.
When 1t is realized that 100 persons
have died in Scranton from tuberculo-
sis during the past year 1t is not sur
prising that the physicians and the
health authorities Of this city are be-
ginning to consider seriously the mat
ter of prevention.
One hundred cases of tuberculosis
last year here means a much larger
number next year, with a steadily in
creasng proportion. The mortality
from the disease has decreased in New
York 55 per cent, as a result Of NUM-
cipal activity in the matter, and it is
expected that a far greater ratio can
be shown in this city, where the con-
ditions for treatment are more favar-
able. Recorder Connell has been con-
suited in the matter and the municipal
authorities and the physicians propose
to take up the work in earnest and as
a first step n lecture will be given
Thursday night at st. Luke's parish
hall by the renowned DR.. S. A. Knopf,
of New York, on how to combat the
disease.
A Great Authority.
DR.. Knopf is the greatest author
ity on tuberculosis in this country,
I,1 ,1,r fhn t0n
Of 1000 marks in the Berlin con-
test with his essay on the subject. 1t
is intended that the lecture shall be
heard by as large an audience as pos
sble. 1t is to be held under the aus
pices of the Scranton board of trade.
DR.. Knopf will give some practical ad-
vice regarding the necessary proceed
ure in a city which has not even q SOL
itary hocpital or ward for incurables.
He will talk on the sanitary precau-
tlons necessary and will speak in lam
guage free from all technical terms as
far as may be.
1t is said that no more favorable To-
cality can be found for the treatment
of consumptives than the mountains
Immediately surrounding Scranton,
and it is planned to erect a home very
near the city where the cases may be
isolated and where the conditions will
best lead to restoration. 1t is expect
ed that an appropriation will be made
for q municipal laboratory, which is the
first step toward beginning proper SAN
itary precautions against the spread of
the disease. 1t is now generally ad-
mitted that consumption, so called, is
very contagious, and the councils will
l1fs fs,,<~
to sanitary defences.

In estimating the value OF mummy
It's medicinal qualities are no longer
appraised. and thus the problem is cas-
Ter OF solution. Its value must have
been greater when 1t formed regular
part OF the materia medica Until
pretty late in the eighteenth century
mummies entered into great variety
Of drugs. balms and other mcdica-
mcntS.
AS the genuine mummy was then ex-
pcnsive, recipes were given by many
ancient writers fer converting human
flesh into mummy. Usually only GER
tain portions Of the body were used.
and these were beaten. dried, macerat-
ed and spiced out of all likeness to
their natural condition; hence beaten
to Il mummy"
Numerous illusions are made to the
practice in ancient literature. and in an
old play. Bird In Cage are the d.
rections, make mummy of my flesh

Dirt In Daintr Carpets.

For housewives who pride them
selves upon the spotless floor coverings
The Druggists Circular gives the fol-
lowing recipe for removing spots Of
dirt from carpets:
Make suds with good white soap
and hot water and add fuller's earth
TO this until the consistency of thin
cream. Have plenty Of clean drying
cloths, small scrubbing brush, a large
sponge and a pail of fresh water. Put
some of the cleaning mixture in bowl
and dip the brush in it, Brush a small
piece of the carpet with this; then
wash with the sponge apd cold water.
Dry as much as possible with the
sponge and finally rub with dry cloths
Continue this till you are sure that all
the carpet is clean; then let it dry.

As delicate as the organ Of vision Is
that Of hearing and as careful watch
should be kept upon il, so that no loss
of that more exquisite sense may oc-
cur.
When several blind persons were
questioned as 10 which they would
rather do without, their visual organs
or those Of hearing, the majority de-

compassion for the blind, for the deaf
we are not often sympathetic. The
spectacle of SightleSS individual
touches US to tears: that of one who
cannot hear proNukcs almost feeling
Of drollery. Yet no doubt the loss Of
one organ Is as pathetic thing as the
loss Of tho other
Many erroneous ideas still exist In
the public mind that interfere seriously
with the work OF the skilled aurist.
Too many people think that the ear Is
so delicate an organ that nothing
whatever can be done to alleviate any

RoloCna's Leaning Tower.

Bologna has two great square tow
crs, the Aslnclli. which is 315 feet high
and was erected in 1909 and its rival,
the Garisenda. which was built one year
later and was originally much higher
and is rendered peculiar by its de-
cidcd inclination to one side. 1t is
now only 153 feet high. the width of
one side is % feet. the walls at the
base are i feet q inches thick, while
higher UP they are feet Q inches. Its
origin is somewhat obscure, but it was
certainly intended to outdo the Ash

blous times. Some say the original in
tention was to make it lean, but 9th

settled or there was defect in the

One of the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
is this: "I owe my life to DR.. Pierce"
These women have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians. They
have counseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was just to keep them afoat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found.
woMAN's APPEAL ANSWERED.
Hundreds of thousands of women
have appealed to DR.. Pierce, for relief
from womanly ills and not one has ap-
pealed in vain. The use of DR.. Pierce's
Pavorite Prescription supplemented by
the medical advice of DR.. Pierce has
been the means of cure to this vast army
of women suffering from diseases pecul-
lar to the sex.
"I wish to tell you the benefit re-
ceived from using your remedies"
writes Mrs. Alice Soncrant. of 26I w.

years ago was taken with severe pain
in the left ovary and side. Tried several
different remedies, but nothing helped
me. l got so bad I could scarcely walk
across the floor or do work of any kind
One day an old neighbor lady came in
to see me. and told me to try DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. She
said she knew it wovld help me, as it
had saved her life. When the doctors
had given her up and said they could
do nothing for her she said she began to
take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and it cured her. So I got bottle of
the Favorite Prescription and one of
Golden Medical Discovery and began
taking them. Before had taken one
bottle of each l was so much better
could do all my own work, and that is
good deal, as am the mother of four
small children. Three bottles of the
FavoEite Prescription and one of
Golden Medical Discovery cured me.
I have not been sick since then. think
