WE MAY COME TO IT.

The past two days have been of the
quality to ''try mems souls" 1t has
been hot, sizzlingly hot, and the shirt
waist man, or more properly, perhaps, the
cCatless man, has been much in evidence.
They were of two general varieties, those
with suspenders and those without sus-
penders. On the whole, those without
suspenders were in the preferred list, as
far as appearances went, although the
others may have been more comfortable.
The removal of the coat is as far as the
Raleigh man has gone so far this season.
But there are more advanced stages
which may be reached before the sum-
mer is over. The writer once, on a hot
day last summer, on the main thorough
fare of one of our great metropolitan
cities, saw a man, well dressed suddenly
tear off his collar and necktie and throw
them far into the middle of the street He
said something, but the words were lost
in the roar of the traffic. The look on his
face, however, was one of most intense
relief. No collar has yet been seen cast
into the street in Raleigh, but there is
no telling what We may come to.

If you are sick and ut-of-sorts in June
it is in your power to make yourself

There is not the slightest reason why
you should go through the hot summer
weather feeling sickly, miserable, lam

and this is the season when you should
be bright, hearty and gladstone.
If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neu-
ralgic, dyspeptic, or have the shadows of
disease lowering over you; If you are
not as bright energetic, and strong as
you were some weeks ago, the use of
Paine's Celery Compound will tone up
and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful sleep.
Thousands once in a half7dead condition
owe their present good health to the use
of Paine's Celery Compound. Mr.. VIM.
S. Gibson, of Pleasureville, KY, who,
through sickness and suffering, was
brought near the dark grave, writes as
follows, regarding his marvellous cure:
II have been broken down in health

trembling spells off and on. for the last
ten years l have taken three bottles of

QUIT PLAYING AT IT.

Now Congress has a chance to really
do something in the matter of the Philip
pine investigation, and quit playing at it.
Representative Mccall, of Massachusetts,
has presented to the House a memorial
signed by Charles Francis Adams. An
drew Carnegie, Carl Schurz, Edwin B..
Smith and Herbert Welsh, asking that
a Congressional committee of ;nvesti-
cation be appointed to go to the Philip
pines inquire into and report upon con-
ditions existing there.
If the investigation of the Philippine
question is a real one. the House will
not be slow to take advantage of this
opportunity to do the most reasonable
and natural thing that suggests ITSELF
namely, get as close view as possible
A case at law is always tried in the
nearest possible court to the scene of
the action. When we examine anything,
we get where we can see it. If we have
a chance to look with our own eyes. why
should we accept the evidence of others !?
What a relief it would be to the long
suffering people of the country to have
a picked committee of their representa-
tives go out to the islands and bring
back report of things as they have
actually seen them, and have done with
this farce of sitting up in Washington,

A GENTLE HINT

In our style of climate, with it's sudden
changes of temperature wind and
sunshine often intermingled in a single
day,-it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, half
the deaths resulting directly from this
cause. A bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup kept about your home for imme-
date use will prevent serious sickness, a
large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by
the use of three or four doses. Four cur
ing Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumo-
ria, Severe Coughs, Group, or any dis
ease of the Throat or Lungs, its success
is simply wonderful, as your druggist
will tell you. Get sample bottle free
