Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amones;
the worst ills OF life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing a load OF misery
and wTetchedness that is terrible to think
Of.
Headaches as a rule, result from a dis
ordered condition Of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss Of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitaied, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. II the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
TEN must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases Of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; il is the
great Ieconstructant Of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrck, St. Clair, Mich, tells
OF her release from suffering as follows;-
4" have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for a number Of years. About
every week / would have bad spell Of sick
headache, but since ! began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
/ do not have any more headaches. feel
better than have for years"

age. Most of the masters of the art
are professionals who go from village

services. The pattern about to be en-
graved is first outlined on the face with
small stick dipped in powdered char
coal, after which the skin is gashed and
the eoloring or pigment is introduced
into the cut flesh with stick dipped

CATCHING REDsNAPPERs.
II May Not Require Any Great Amount
of skin, hut There Is Lots
of Fun In It.


With sunlight on the little waves,
soft breeze blowing, a good boat an
chored over a submerged bank, slip
pers on bare feet, canvas trousers
belted about the waist. a thin shirt. a
wide straw hat on the head and long
black cigar in the mouth, man with
nothing to do but fish is reasonably
well fixed off the Texas coast these
days-say down about Brownsville
way, or even further south along the
queer edge Of Mexico, says the New
! York Sun.
There is nothing Of the tarpon about
the red snapper. He does not run and
leap and fight and give a man paralysis
Of the wrist for a week. but be Is good
to eat which the tarpon is not; he
calls for no unusual exertion Of mus
Gle or intellect, and he bites, when he
bites at all, with a readiness which
makes catching him continuous per-
Torrance. A more beautiful fish does
not swim as he comes flashing through
the green waves he looks like bar Of
blood.
Red snappers are caught in dozens,
twenties, hundreds, by parties who go
out to have good time Of It. The cat
boat is sailed from 20 to 40 miles down
the coast until the bank is reached.
This bank does not differ in any way
from Goldfish bank, except that the
water on it is much shallower. from
six to IS feet. The boat is anchored
above the bank, no storms are feared
and fun begins.
Hand lines are used with heavy lead
en- sinkers on one end and three hooks
on smells above it two feet apart. The
hooks. big ones, are baited with bits
of mussels, or shrimp. or mullet, or.
in fact. any sort of meat fish would
be likely TO care for.
Sometimes the snappers, though
about in thousands. get the nosing hab-
it and merely push the bait aside with
out paying further attention to 1t.
When that happens there is nothing
to do but wait or try another bank,
or play poker during the outing. Most
often they are hungry. however, and
there is no dilatoriness about them.
They seize a bait as soon as it is with
in reach and start off with it,
With six men in the party and each
of them handling two lines, they will
all be kept busy for an hour or more.
Then the fishing viii slacken as the
day gets older, and il is time for mid |
day dinner anyhow The snapper
weighs from four to six pounds and
does not, of course, put up anything
of fight against handline with a
150-pound man at the other end.
Doubtless some sport could be had |
from the snapper with very light rod |
and light tackle, but no one has tried |
it. Snapper fishermen for the nonee
DO not care much about sport. They
