This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's

needed before the winter is over, and

given as soon rs the cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in the
system. In almost every instance II

pleasant to take = both adults and
children like it. Buy it and you will
get the best. 1t always cures. For
sale by dolores Mercantile company.

AlcOhoI an0 Exercise.

Tn La Nature is an interesting article on the influence of muscular energy in eliminating alcohol which has been in troduced into the blood. M. Grehant made a series of experim ents, dosing with alcohol, and then examined the blood after a varying number of hours He found that under ordinary circum- stances the elimination of alcohol was extremely slow. He then had con- structed a wheel, three meters in diam G. ter, into which a dog could be placed and kept moving. Alcohol was introduced into the stomach of the dog, and after five hours in the wheel it's blood was examined, when it was found that the alcohol had diminished much more rap idly then when the animal was not ex
 ercising. M. Grehant comnlends ths result of his experiment to the consider ation of men who have somewhat oyer
 indulged, and suggests that experifn ent might show beneficial results from car, riage riding when the degree of "ivresses was too great for walking. .r

LAZY MANS PARADISE.
En the West Indies the Women Are the Workers While the
 Men Loaf.

On market day in the West Indies can be seen walking along the roads to the town from their palm matched huts in the mountains and woods. They car ry on their heads immense loads of ba- nanas, oranges, yams, plantains, brown sugar or tobacco, stepping along at the rate of four miles an hour with the gait of a princess, says the Kansas City Star.
 Constant carrying of heavy loads. gives them splendid carriage. They will walk 40 miles to market to sell 30 cents worth of produce. Often they could sell the same stuff for better price at their homes, but they enjoy the merry company on the road and the fun and gossip of the market place too much to give up their weekly iaunt. Most people think such a tramp hard work, but they regard it as picnic. Tramping along over rough mountain tracks, fording swift rivers, tugging fractious mules in the way that they should go, these women never let their loads fall. They could dance 8 jig with out dropping them. ...
 Meanwhile the men folk-who have not even taken the trouble to SOW or harvest the crops, much less carry them to market-are sleeping in the palm-thatched hut or lying down in the yam patch outside and smoking the strong native tobacco.
 ''On my estate,'' said coffee planter to an American friend, FI employ about 600 people in the busy seasons, besides 200 or 300 children. The women out number the men by more than two to one, and do far better work, though they are only paid IS cents day, as com pared with the mems "A cents The diff ference in wages is most unfair, but it is regulated by an iron-bound custom"

will you please change the address

Rico, to GALES, Porto Rico? GALES is
nine or ten miles back from this narrow
gauge railroad and is reached frcm Man
att by a beautiful macadamized road.

that is being built POGO a POGO" Qlttle

The scenery around Gales is grand,
reminding one very much OF the beautiful
mountains of Western y. G.. It is in a
great coffee growing district, and until
the American invasion that was the chict
industry.
"A lear friend Rev. u. ". Hester. Of
oxford. y. c., and I Will work together.
GALES will be our headquarters, but we
expect to work in two or three other
towns some miles away, and also IN the
surrounding country wherever we can
find a congregation. This work Of telling
the good news OF Christ and His love 20
those who are lost in sin, becomes more
and more interesting as one becomes more
familiar with the language, customs, and,
above all, with the great need OF these
lost souls, who nave been, for SO long
a time, stepped in Roman Catholicism in

tract 1,400. Quotations unchanged.
Futures opened quiet with prices from

level. Prominent bulls then supported
prices somewhat, but aggresslvely, send
ing them up s to 10 points. 1t Is the gen
eral opinion that a slump Of 20 or 80
points would induce a great buying wave
that would send prices well UP toward the
Is cents mark. In the trading which was
comparatively light the fluctuations We're
numerous but narrow. The market
closed steady with net losses Of 8 points
