A Woman,s comnIerlon.

II is rank foolishness to attempt to
remove sallowness or greasf4ess Of
the skin by the use OF cosmetics, or
local treatment, as advocated b.
the beauty doctors" The only safe
and sure way that a woman can i'm
prove her complexion is by purifying
and enr.ching the blood, which can
only be accomplished by keeping the
liver healthy and active. The liver
is the seat OF disease and blood pol
luton. Green's August Flower acts
directly on the liver. cleanses and en-.
riches the blood. purifes the complex
ion. II also cures constipation, bill.
iousness. nervousness and induces re-
freshing sleep. A single bottle Of
August Flower has been known TO
cure the most pronounced and dis
tressing cases Of dyspepsia and mdi'
gestion. New sizetrial bottle 25 cents
regular size 10 cents. At the City
Drug Store.

savlnn Of SEED Corn.

Il gives but little trouble, yet re-
suits in great profit, for farmers 10 go
into their corn fields after the corn
is ready 10 gather and select the very
best ears for seed Let the quality
selected be as uniform as possible as
TO the grain. Ears with grains closely
set, taken from stalks that have pro-
duced two good ears, are to be pre-.
ferred. These ears so selected should
be hung up In a dry place with the
shucks pulled back. BY making the
selection in the fall much time is
saved when the period Of planting
comes on, besides, a careful selection
will result in greatly improving the
quality of the crop. A great many
crops Of corn are grown in which a
dozen varieties may be found with
every conceivable mixture. Pure
white corn, not too hard or flinty
on large ears and small cobs. is the
best for all purposes OF the farm

PROGRESS OF ANGELO.
An Italian BoOtblack Fulfilling the Prophecy
or the Rev. Dr. Long.

STANFORD, Conn, July 25--"I have $3.50
in the savings bank. and three windows to
wash this afternoon"
Such was the statement OF his assets
made by Angelo Demarco to-day as he was
vigorously shining the shoes OF a stamford
politician near the town hall. Tho interest
in his financial condition arises from
prophecy uttered couple of years ago
by tho Rev. DIR. William j. Long pastor OF
the First Congregational Church, who took
him for the text of an address delivered
at the commencement exercises OF bust
ness college.
If wish my boots BACKED this after
noon at T." said DR., Long, IL tell Angelo
TO be at my house at I. and Angelo IL al
ways there, and he always blacks the boots
well. Mark what ! tell you: Angelo will
not always be backing boots. Ono of these
days he will be one OF those bloated bond
holders we hear so much about--men who
have the thrift and the industry to anlass a
fortune"
Angelo had only $40 when DR. Long spoke.
In addition to accommodating $3.50 in the
meantime by bootbacking and doing odd
jobs, he has contributed toward tho support
Of his family. Altogether he is a good
example of how some poor boys end by
being rich men.

THE AUTOMATIC DOCTOR.
Latest Slot Machine Expected TO He q
Money Maker.


Were never able TO meet the demand
for slot machine novelties" said a man in
the business "We're all looking around
now for something new for the st. Louis
worlds fair.
Personally. I don't care so much about
fairs. The machines get good play there,
but there are so many counter attractions
and you have to give up such percentage
to get on the grounds that in the end you're
not so much ahead.
I'D rather have all the New York hotels
for mine than all the fairs that ever hap
pened. The people who pass in and out
through New York hotels and their bar
rooms have money and spend nlckels with
out thinking twice.
take the case OF the fellows who got
the talking scale which made such hit
along Broadway. The Sun printed a
piece telling how you got on IL and the
scale hollered out your weight. That was
reprinted all over the country and orders
piled in on the makers 80 they could have
shipped out $500 in a week If they had
them.
But their plant was small one and they
could produce only about fifteen machines
week and they had to buy the scale bases
from another small manufacturer. SO the
free advertising they got has only driven
them frantic.
They can sit down and figure how much
money they would be making II all the
machines they have orders for were working
to-day, taking rs per cent, OF the gross
down in the Wall Street district has taken
in $3.50 day for seven months just as
regularly as IL il was on the city payroll
1If the inventors had 5000 machines out
they would be making a clean 81 500 a day
