NEW WATER WORKS.
The preliminary test Of tho new water
works was made on Tuesday, and proved
very satisfactory indeed. A more tho
rough test Is to be made as soon as the
hose ordered By the town arrives which
Is expected in about two weeks. The hose
\ used on Tuesday was borrowed from Fe'
ttrsburg.
1. is admitted that the test on Tuesday
proved conclusigsly that had that much
water been available al the recent bis
tire, 1t could have been put out when
hrst discovered or even later, when le.

..As q matter of fact, Cuticura
remedies are very much alive OF

in The world. 5at.
'Time and competition are the
hardest tests, and Cuticura has with

Soap and Ointment to relieve their

the highest degree, but it is pure,

Grown up people who buy the
remedies for their personal use,

SMOTHER a COUGH.

You can smother cough
with your hand but you cant
cure it that way, Some medi,
cines only smother coughs.
SCOTS Emulsion cures them.
Old coughs and dlecp-rooted
coughs can't be cured until
the inflammation which causes
them has been replaced by
