thing minister like him.

Miss Olivia Provost has just returned
from Westonia, Miss. where she has
been spending several enjoyable weeks.
Miss Lena Provost also visited rela.
tlves at Westonia' few weeks ago.
They both claim to have had grand
visit. Is there any attraction over

week in which the writer's were trying
to get those old correspondents out to
the front again. That's right Jay Bird,
help US out. Rather late for Jay Birds,
but we are glad to have you with US.
Although you folks didn't say any
thing to Orlando, but will rake him

mans girl, that is why he Is not at his
post like US folks. II I just knew who it
was would put his light out. you can

DR.. Hartman, the Famous GynacoIo-

iers to Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.

America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women are
so because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. By far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh de-
spair of recovery. Female trouble is SO
common, so prevalent, that they accept it
as almost inevitable. The greatest :obsta-
Gle in the way of recovery is that they do
not understand that it is catarrh which is
the source of their illness. In female COM
plant, ninety-nine cases out Of one hun
cures catarrh wherever located.

ceived:

She Relieved in Witches.

Superstition is not yet dead. A few
DAYS ago a lady living in Cornwall re-
ceived a letter from a woman dwelling
twenty miles away in lonely coast
village in whose house she had fire.
ouently spent some months Of the sum-
mer. The letter was not well written,
but the woman can hardly be ola
enough to have escaped compulsory
education altogether. Yet she wrote 10
saw that there was somebody in that
coast village who had been "lll-wlshSd,
and was in consequence likely to die.
She had heard that in the town TO
which she had addressed her letter
there was a skillful white witch who,
for a consideration. would be willing u
provide the sufferer with charm
which would be sovereign cure. She
asked the lady to endeavor to dis
cover the name and address OF the
benefactor. That such letter should
be written in these civilized days is
not specially surprising, but the in
stances are not worth noting, for those
who have had most experience in the
stuey of the suparstitious beliefs of the
peasantry know we'll that for one
which gets written down in this way
