BETTER THAN PnLs.-The question has been asked, "In what way are Chamber lain's Stomach & Liver Tablets superior to pills?" Our answer Is: They are easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect, and more rel'a- ble, as they can always be depe lded up- on. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect, and their use is often fol lowed by constipation.

FOR SALE.

Having decided to retire permanently from business offer my Millinery Store at Stafford Hollow for sale, either as whole or in part. It has been established nearly nine years, and has been good paying business from the start. Taking into consideration the low expenses 1t is certain that good milliner can net as much money here as at any other location in town and with the building of the trolley road the busi- ness will be further increased. Everything in the store must be sold at some price during the next two weeks, as it is my desire to close up the business by the first of July. If those hav- ing accounts at the store will kindly settle the same before the first of the month, it will facili tate matters and also be esteemed as a favor.

Period of Growth.

Children born between September
and February are. some authorities
state, not so tall as those born in the
summer and spring months, and the
growth of children is much more rapid
from March till August. The extremi-
ties grow rapidly up to the sixteenth
year, then there is a slow growth till
the thirtieth year. The legs chiefly
grow between the tenth and seven
teenth year.
Comparing the general results. it ap-
pears that there are six periods of
growth. The first extends up to the
sixth or eighth year and is one of very
rapid growth; the second period. from
eleven to fourteen years, growth is
slow; the third period, from sixteen to
seventeen; the fourth period shows a
slow growth up to the age of thirty for
height, up to fifty for chest girth; the
fifth period is one of rest. from thirty
to fifty years; the sixth period is char
acterized by a decrease in all dimen-
sions of the body.
