Weak and Sickly Children

Who, perhaps, have inherited weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de.
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of vogeler's Curative Compound.
from two to FIVE drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. 1t is the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of great living physician.

Glad for End.

A Milwaukee divine tells this story
ol himself:
In a celebrated Eastern theological
seminary II is. or was. the practice OF
the faculty to require the students to
take turns in delivering sermons. a
custom. by the way. to which, as q
rule, the young aspirants for eccle-
siastical honors did not take kindly.
Among those who attended the
school was young man who now oc-
cupies the pulpit OF a well-known
Methodist church on the East Side,
who, however. formed an exception 70
the rule above mentioned.
In the course OF time It came his
turn to speak. He prepared his dis
course with great care. and when Sun
day arrived he acquitted himself
handsomely. everyone present listen
irg to his words with marked atccn-
tion.
At the conclusion Of his remarks one
OF the professors mounted the rostru,n
and announced the hymn:
"Hallelujah, It's DONE"

Peculiar to Itself.

This applies to St. Jacobs Oil used for
fifty years. 1t contains ingredients that
are unknown to any one but the manu-
facturers and their trusted employees. Its
pain killing properties are marvellous, as
testified to by the thousands of once crippled
human beings now made well and free from
pain by its use. St ] cobs Oil has record
of cures greater than all other medicines.
Its sales are larger than those of any other
proprietary medicine and ten times greater
than all other embrocations, oils and lini
ments combined, simply because it has been
proved to be the best.

seveu teen Year Iosusts.

The bug men and the fruit men and
wisacres generally are now saying that
Illinois will be invaded this year by
seventeen-year locusts. Some amateur
eatomologists have been trying to con-
vince the professionals that they have
their dates mixed as to the time of
the coming Of these pests. but the lat
ter have produced statistics to prove
that they are correct. The seventeen
year locusts. they declare. made their
last appearance in June. 1885: 30 there

THE ST. sERNAap's AT WORK.
Carrying Supplies Up to Mountain
Garrisons.

The military authorities In Bavaria
are employing specially trained dogs
to carry letters and provisions to the
snowed-up garrisons among the Bavar-
ian Alps. These dogs are Of the st.
Bernard breed. The mountain garri-
sons are often showed in three or four
weeks at time, cut Off from all COM
munication with the outside world. A
regular bi-weekly post has been estab-
lished, ten dogs travelling together. All
provisions of heavy kinds are in store
In the garr4sons, but lighter delicacies
are often lacking, and these, together
with letters, are carried round the dogs
necks.
When the snow is frozen hard
enough six dogs are hitched to a small
car piled with things. The authorities
on the whole are satisfied with their
experiment.

that when i'm position there will be rs

These boards may when used on n

they may be used again two or three

If the celery is allowed TO remain in
the boards too long after it has reach
