One Minute Cough Cure. She says:
"The coughing and straining so
weakened me that I run down in
weight from 148 to 81 pounds. I
tried number of remedies to no

The Stomach Is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because 1t cannot transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health
and strength cannot be restored to
any sick man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to
the stomach. A weak stomach can
not digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and run
down limbs and organs of the body.

among themselves. st least some Of
them, that they will hold off from
buying raw cotton in an effort to get
the prices to 60 down
The mills, it is said, are OF bull
ish turn of mind, and herce the ne
sssity for them to do what they can
to hold prices down. At the present
time it Is said that there sre about
ouIy Is per cent. of the amount Of raw
cotton in the country that could be
found at the same date in 1902. The
mills being able to get local cotton
much cheaper than Western cotton
have made their purchases in the
South so the Southern crop is ex-
hausted. Mills are entering calls for
local cotton, which they are unable
to procure. Most Of the mills are
less supplied with cotton than at the
same date last year, although few
have contracted for all that they need.
The mills know that last years
crop will have to last at lest thirteen
months on account of the latenesss
of the present season, SO that every
thing is tending toward higher prices
for the raw material. The mills, in
turn, are doing what they can to get
top prices for their goods, and it is
said that some orders are turned
down, the mills claiming that present
prices will not leave them sufficient
margin of profit. The situation is
extremely interesting, to say the
least"

Strength is one of the distinguishing
attributes of healthy man. In one of
the most beautiful poetic flights known
to literature, the inspired singer finds no
finer figure to express the suns majestic
rising than vrejo;cing like strong man
to run race"
Who has not known such man, the
picture Of health, hardy and athletic,
suddenly begin to fail? At first he
has a slight cough, which he laughs
at. Presently the cough becomes deep
seated. The scales tell him he is losing
flesh. A little later and the lungs bleed.
He grows weaker and more and more
enaciated. Each day sees some circu1l-
scribing Of his activities, until at last he
does not leave the house, and friends
shake their heads aud say, rPoor fel-
low! Who would ever have believed it
possible?"
But what are the doctors doing all this
time! Doing their best probably, but
usually doing no lasting good. The
emaciation grows more marked, the
weakness more apparent, until at last the
sick man hears the sentence, where's
no hope"
1t is just at this very point Of hope
lessness that the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has proven
the first step to health to many suf-
fcrer. 1t cures the cough, stops the
hemorrhage, heals the lungs, puts sound
flesh upon the body, and sends the man
back to the activities of life as strong as
ever. It's wonderful statement, but
it is literally true, that HGolden Medical
Discovery" has cured time and time
again when all other means had abso-
lutely failed to benefit.
There is no alcohol in the" e"Discovery,"
and it is absolutely free from opium, CO.
caine, and all other narcotics.
Persons suffering from disease in
chronic form are invited to consult DR..
r. V. Pierce, by letter, ffe. All cor
respondence is private and the conf
dences Of the sick are guarded with pro-
fessional privacy. The success of the
methods and medicines of DR.. R. V.
Pierce, may be inferred from the fact
that of the thousands treated by him
and his assistant staff of nearly a score
of physicians ninety-eight per cent. have
been perfectly and permanently cured.

Areusta's Whistliag Choir.

Augusta's Whistling Choir.
Probably the most peculiar and
unique choir in the world is that of
the Bureau Baptist Sunday school IN
Augusta. Anyway it enjoys the dis
tinctiop of being the only one Of it's
kind and is perfectly original with its
head, MIR. Fred T. Lockheart, prom
inent lawyer of that city. Mr.. Lock
heart obtained his idea from seeing
the '.Burgomaster" played when it
appeared there sometime ago. He
heard one of the airs whistled and
when the audience joined in the
chorus the effect struck him as being
90 striking that he at once decided
to put it in use in the choir OF the
Sunday school of which he is the
superintendent.
Mr.. Lockhars talked the matter
over with the pastor of the church,
the Rev. j. 81. Oliver, and they de.
cided to organize whistl!pg choir,
and that it should be tried the follow
ing Sunday. When the scholars had
assembled Mr.. Lockheart spoke to
the congregation Of his intentions
and asked that as many young people
as could whistle come up to the front
and a trial would be made. Twenty
eight youug men, attracted by the
novelty Of the thing, responded and
volunteered to join such q choir.
They were seated around the organ
and Mr.. Lockhart announced they
would sing the words while the new
choir whistied and the young men
we're asked to lead the next hymn.
To this request they al! responded
heartily and seemed to be at home.
After the first trial the "Whistiing
orchestra" was pronounced a great
success, and the young men were
asked to try another song, which tney
did with will.
When the whistlers lead them the
congregation gained confidence, and
many who had been too timid to sing
before now joined in and added
great volume to the singing. The
effect was all that had been expected
and Mr.. Looshart was 80 well pleased
with the initial effort that the wbistl-
ing choir was then and there organ
lied and became permanent one.
This novel choir has proved quite
q drawing card and large crowds
visited the church to hear it; many
OF them went out OF idle curiosity
and prepared to laugh at and even
crisicise the orchestra. All who went,
whether with this intention or other
wise, were very much struck with
the novelty of the thing, but there
was nothing frivolous, nothing to
criticise; the effect was splendid, and
all remained and enjoyed the novel
innovation. At first the choir merely
led the singers, but as they gained
confidence whistling overtures were
given unassisted by either organ or
scholars.
In the several months since the or
ganizstion of the ''whistling orches-
TIA" the young men have improved
wonderfully and have learned to
whistle in the different voices and
under the direction of Mr.. Leckhart
is becoming one of the best trained
choirs in the city.
